The Invisible Small Gestures

I saw her sister post a TikTok video of her daughter.

NT was in it too.

I couldn't see her face, but I could see the slightest hint of her baldness.

I wondered if she still went to that salon for her scalp treatment.

I remembered how she once told me that the lady boss had said she was lucky to have a boyfriend who would drive her all the way there.

Almost three hours each way.

A whole day, just for her scalp treatment.

NT told me that only then did she realise what I had been doing for her.

I teased her.

Sometimes it takes a third person's eyes to see the small, invisible gestures.

She smiled.

Then she gave me a hug in the car.
