Chapter 92
(Attention seeker)
Douglas was pacing around the living room carrying his little baby. His Daughter is six months old and her name is Daphne. She is a pretty girl who took most of her dad’s features but she definitely took after her mother when it comes to crying all the time. Daphne got all of Ashley attention.
Douglas is always complaining that Ashley had stopped paying attention to him. All she cares about now is her daughter. And Douglas wanted his wife attention.
“Daphne what do I do now? You’ve gotten all of your mum attention. Can you grow up quickly please? Just grow up on time so that I can have my wife to myself again”, he sigh.
“I’m not going to have another baby anytime soon if this is what Ashley will do again…”
“I’m ready”, Ashley said as she came out of her room.
She walked to Douglas.
She stretched her hand to take the baby from him.
” Let’s go. We can’t be late to the party. “, she told Douglas and walked out of the house.
” Ashley, you forgot my morning ki-ss again today”, he called after her.
She turned and threw him a ki-ss.
“Sorry. Daphne is taking much of my time lately”, she said.
Douglas felt like crying.
When will the child grow up?
Raymond was excited as he got down from the car. His grandma pick him up immediately.
” Don’t run around. You can’t afford to dirty your tuxedo”, Mrs Dalton told her grandson.
The boy pouted.
“I won’t run around”, he said.
When they got to the open place arranged for the event, Louis and some guest are already there.
The children around the park. There is adequate security and CCTV camera in every corner to monitor everything that is happening.
” Oh my! The birthday boy looks very handsome today”, Louis told his grandson.
“Grandpa, did you prepare my birthday gift?”, the boy asked.
” Of course I did”, the man said.
“Really? What’s in it?”, he asked.
” That’s a surprise “, Louis said.
Raymond pouted his li-ps.
” I will still know it eventually”, he said.
Louis smiled as he pat his head.
Raymond saw his other speaking to someone and he ran to him.
“Grandpa”, he called.
The old man turned and his gaze soften when he saw his grandson. He quickly bend down and carried the boy.
” Happy birthday, man”, the old man wished him.
Raymond is always happy if Mr Dalton called him man.
“You have a gift for me right?”, he asked.
” I told you I want a robot. Did you really get it for me?”, he asked his grandfather.
“Guess?”, the man told him.
” I hate guessing. I love straight to the point. I don’t like surprises too after all I’m not a woman. Tell me, robot or no robot?”, he asked.
Looking at this heir of his family. The old man was very happy. The boy was smarter than many children of his age. He is very matured and talented. He love this grandson of his so much.
“I got you a robot”, the man said.
” Really? Oh my goodness. Thank you grandpa.”, the boy said and ki-ssed his grandpa cheeks.
Mrs Dalton saw this and scoffed.
“Never watch that face”, she told her husband.
Raymond had asked everyone to stop ki-ssing him when he was two. The boy was a clean freak and he found ki-ssing gross.
Dorris walked out of her car and she attra-cted a lot if attention. She is dressed a gorgeous lavender off shoulder dress. She looked very beautiful.
She greeted her parents in law. She greeted her father. She hu-gged Ashley and carried Daphne. She greeted Guy, Toby, Vickey, Harriet, Harry, Edmund and Harley too. She was all smiles. She greeted several distinguished guest around too. The media made sure to capture every moment on their camera. All the kids playing around the park were ushered to have a seat as the party is about to begin. Everyone can go ahead and play after wishing the birthday boy and after eating.
The host called Dorris to give her speech.
” Let’s welcome, President Dorris Dalton on stage with a round of applause “, the host said.
There was a loud ovation in the open space as Dorris collected the micro phone.
“As we all know that today is Raymond Dalton birthday. I will like to invite my son to the stage now, Let’s welcome the celebr@nt”, she said.
Raymond walked to his mom and stood beside her.
” Today I have a lot of people to appreciate. I thank God for protecting and guarding my son. I appreciate my father for his words of advice. I thank my mother and father in law. They’ve been so good to me. I thank everyone of you present today. My brother, my friends , my colleagues at work, my husband friends, relatives and colleagues. I am grateful to all of you”, she paused.
“I’m also grateful to my husband…..”, the hall went silent.
“I hope he will come back to us soon”
As she said that she looked at her son and smiled.
“I’m also grateful to my little guy here. Thank you for staying with mummy. Thank you for being healthy. You’re the best son in the whole world. I will like you guys to join me sing my son a birthday song”.
? Happy birthday to you 2ice
Happy birthday to you, Raymond
Happy birthday to you.?
“Hip! Hip! Hip”
“Hurray”, Everyone chorused.
Dorris bend down and ki-ssed her son. She stood up again.
She was about to say something when her eyes widen. She dropped the microphone in shocked.
She was shouting in her head.
‘This can’t be. This can’t be. This cannot happen. ‘
Everyone turned when they saw Dorris paled face……….

Chapter 93
(I am all alone)
Everyone turned to look at what Dorris saw that make her turn pale.
^Flashback^
3 days ago
Dorris greeted Ray’s care taker and walked into the VIP ward on the third floor, there her husband had been lying for years in between life and death. She was carrying a basket if fruit. She will bring fruits sometimes when coming to visit. It is as if she us expecting him to wake up one day and eat the fruits she’s been bringing to him.
Seeing him, something triggered in her. She is angry. He lied to her.
She moved closer to the bed.
She examined his face. Though the caretaker used to clean him and shave him, he has grew some stubbles. Looking at her husband lying motionless on the bed, her eyes turned moist. Each time, she visits him, she always try to be optimistic. Over these years, she had grown stronger and more independent. If she isn’t independent, who will she depend on? Ray is the only person she can depend on in this world without feeling ashame. But now that he’s decided to leave her alone to carry all the burdens and responsibilities, what can she do? She even has a son to care about.
“Ray, It’s our son’s birthday in three days time. Our son will be four.”, she paused.
She sigh.
” You heartless man! How dare you do this to me? “, then she broke down.
” who told you you could just leave all your responsibilities to me? What am I? I’m your wife. Why should I be the one to make money and sponsor the family. Why should I work so ha-rd. Why should I act as a father and a mother to our son? Why should I be a child to your parent in your stead? I have my own father too. Why should I be alone? Why should I do everything alone. I’m so lonely. I’m so tired within! I’m so weak. I’m fed up. All this should come to a stop. This is not how I want to live. I didn’t picture my life this way. This isn’t even my dream. I mean why should I live your life.”, she hit his che-st.
“This isn’t what we discuss. This isn’t what we promised each other. You promised me a wedding ceremony. A lot of couples had gotten married before us. You even made me carry our child pregnancy all alone. You made me go into the labour room all alone. I raised him all alone. Do you think it’s funny? How dare you? You coward!”, she hits him again.
” I can’t take it anymore. Come back and take your positions. I don’t want to be the president of H&D anymore. I want to live my own life. I am fed up. You je-rk. You fool. You useless man. Bastard. Liar! Cheater! You have to wake up very soon or else…..”
She let her tears fall freely.
“I’m bored and lonely. I’m all alone. I want you Murray. Please, Hubby!”, she wept ha-rder. She had sto-red it all in her mind, she wanted to be strong for everyone around her. For her son. For her parents in law. For her own father and for Ray himself but it seems that she is too weeks. It seems like she couldn’t take it any longer. She wanted to shout. She wanted to talk to someone. She wanted to relief herself.
She wanted to show her womanly side just for today.
” Murray please. Think of our child. Think of me”,a tear drop on Ray’s face.
“You love me don’t you?”, she asked.
” I miss you, Murray “, she said.
” I miss you so much. Only if you could give me a surprise. Miss you so much my Idol.
Miss you sooooooooooooo much…..”
In his subconsciousness
The storm is blowing him around. This place is very familiar to him. He”s been here for a while-struggling.
He had been fighting ha-rd for a while. He didn’t want to cross over to the other side. He had been in this tug war for a while and he wouldn’t get tired. He refused to give up. He is always hearing them calling to him up there. He can hear their voices clearly. He felt stronger the more he hear her voice had been his strength.
He held on ti-ghtly when he heard her voice as usual that day. Her voice is so gentle as usual but it suddenly turned ha-rd. He heard her scolding him and calling him names. He felt bad for doing this to her. Then he heard her cries. She was crying. That woman was crying. His strength doubled tenfold when he heard her tears and scoldings. He had to go back as soon as possible. He had to go back and console. He nee-ded to clean away her tears. He struggled so ha-rd. He had to stay on earth. He don’t want to die. Why should he?
The storm blew ha-rder.
The for-ce from the other side grew stronger. He ti-ghtened his grip on the rope.
He can’t lose this tug war_he is going to win.
The alarm went off.
The doctors rushed into the ward.
