Will You Remember Then?

Early the next morning, Allie was awakened by the persistent buzzing of the doorbell. She was alone in her new house and the helper she hired only came during daytime. She wondered who would be looking for her in the wee hours of the morning, granting that there were only few who knew about her new home. Hayri didn't have the habit of surprising her, he always made a call whenever he was coming over.

She stood up and her abrupt movement made her stagger on the floor. Perhaps, it was because of her lack of sleep. She was too bothered in seeing Ajie and her daughter in Hayri's home and thinking about it, made her sleep elude her. She rushed up to open the door and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Mommy!" screamed Chloe as soon as her head popped out on the door.

"Sweetheart!" she squealed in the joy of her surprise.
