They looked around for a bit. Alex asked him where he last saw his dad. He told him it was near the roller coaster. They didn't have to search much. The boy instantly recognized his father's back from afar.
'Look, there he is!'
The boy tightly held Alex's hand and started running. He looked back at Alex as he ran, pointing towards his father.
'I'm sure he is there.'
Without looking where he was going, he crashed into a woman. She was wearing formal clothes despite being in a park on the weekend. She wore a white office shirt, black coat, black skirt, pantyhose, and red pencil heels.
He collided with her, and she lost her balance thanks to her thin heels. She leaned forward and continued falling as her chest was a centimeter apart from Alex's face.
It was as if time had slowed down for Alex and her. Her hands were still in the air and were looking for something to grab to stop herself. Alex was the best and only choice.
One more moment, and he would feel the softness of her chest. A sensation that all men can appreciate. The sensation of Boobs.
'Excuse me.'
Alex side-stepped as he attended the unhurt child, all the while letting the woman fall down, hard. *I don't remember making you gay, Alex!*
'Are you okay?'
Alex kindly asked the boy who nodded in response.
'Why you little….'
Alex looked back to the see woman who barely managed to get up, and from the looks of it, she seemed really pissed.
The woman appeared young and mature, but her entire image was ruined by the drop.
'You idiots!! Can't you see where you're going? My expensive dress is ruined because of you. I'm really hurt because of trash like you. Screw you!!'
The woman spoke her mind as she got louder by the second. Meanwhile, Alex was thinking of something and interrupted her.
'Hmmm...using foul words, screaming loudly and getting angry. I got it, you're on your period.'
Alex said something he shouldn't have. That was enough to set the bomb off.
'You little...assholes.'
The woman spoke while grinding her teeth.
'Woah there. There is a child here, you know.'
'The audacity of stopping me. Don't you know who I am?'
Alex and the boy looked at each other, recalling every famous face they have seen.
'No.'
'I'll have you know, I'm a professional psychiatrist.'
'What's a psychiatrist? '
The boy asked Alex.
'Someone who makes you use drugs.'
Alex educated the child.
'But mom's says drugs are bad.'
'That's right. She's a bad person.'
'That's not who a psychiatrist is...'
Psychiatrists are people who studied the field of psychology and medicine. They help people suffering from psychological problems, consulting them, authorizing the use of medical drugs, and prescribing them as such when needed, which is often.
The woman thought about that and realized that what Alex said was kinda right in a way.
'Want to fight?'
The woman infuriated, clenched her fist. Her tomboy devil awakened as she glared daggers at Alex.
'Violence is never the answer. Aren't an adult?'
The boy spoke out for Alex, and her blazing flames went out after getting told by a child.
'You'll regret making me angry. I know your deepest darkest secrets.'
The woman was still not done.
'That's right. Being a psychiatrist, I can know everything about you just by looking.'
She wanted to change the battlefield to the only place she had confidence, Psychology. The woman stared at Alex to deduce everything she could.
'Yes, yes. Just by looking at you, I can tell that deep down, you're a big coward.'
Alex's face became stiff as though she was right.
--Looks like I hit the nail on the head. The woman slyly smiled.
'That's right. You also have a weak will and a two-faced personality. You're not good at anything and have an inferiority complex. You try to act cool in front of everyone, but in reality, you hate yourself...'
'You're not very good at this, are you?'
--I'm sure his will would have been crushed by now.
The woman was shocked, seeing her words had no effect on Alex.
The trick she was trying to do is a cheap trick of pseudo-psychology where you spout out nonsense confidently, tricking the victim into believing that it's true to downgrade them. It hardly works on mentally stable people.
'You are wrong, big brother is really brave and awesome.'
The boy protested.
'Can we go now?'
'Not until you apologize.'
'Uhh...sorry.'
The woman felt defeated and wasn't about to let them go until she felt like she had won.
'As if a half-ass is apology going to compensate for the damage you caused. Get down on all fours and apologize.'
The woman again shouted, which made the boy afraid of her.
'Can you please stop? You're making him scared.'
Alex politely asked the woman while holding the boy close to him. The woman had just about had it with Alex. She was just thinking of ways she could hurt him and where it would hurt the most. *Good luck with that.*
An idea sparked inside her. She remembered that boys Alex's age care about their social reputation more than anything else. How people see them, how they think about them.
A hideous came over her lips. She used the best weapon a woman can easily use.
'Somebody HELP ME! I'm being Harassed!!!'
A woman can destroy a man's social image just like that. The man is physically stronger than the woman.
He is instantly viewed as a vicious beast, and the woman is portrayed as the victim. Even if the man is wrongly accused, nobody will believe them right at the moment.
This kind of instinctual trust was given as a right to the woman but is also being misused. Other than a few areas in biology, men and women are equal in every way, and I believe in gender equality. *That's right, I'll make dinner if you tune the car.*
She teared up a little to make her act even more realistic and kept calling out, a truly disgusting tactic. As expected, some men and a few guards were rushing to the call. Who would believe in Alex? No one will. Society will always sympathize with the women first, and she knew that.
An ugly smile laid behind her tears as a sign of victory.
But Alex had one secret weapon which could turn the tide in his favor. There exist a being who society will believe in more than a woman.
Someone who has yet to be tainted by this world's filth. Someone who is clean from all sins and is pure of heart. Beings that are often considered synonyms of angels and fortunately, that being was with Alex at the moment. Society calls them Children.
Alex knelt down and whispered something in the boy's ear. The boy's eyes widened and soon were filled with tears, which up he couldn't fight back. He only looked at Alex in disbelief to confirm what he was told.
'Really?'
Alex sadly replied.
'Yes.'
The boy immediately started crying frantically. The plan worked like a charm. The attention of the chivalrous group quickly changed from the teared-up woman to the crying boy.
The guard came to him.
'What's wrong, boy?'
'Th-that lady wants to do dirty things with big brother. And if he doesn't go with her, she threatens to do bad things with me and kill my dad.'
The boy pointed at her.
'What? I did not. He's lying, he's lying.'
The people ogled the woman with disgust.
'A crazy seducer, huh?'
A guard came up to her.
'Miss, I must ask to leave this you park immediately.'
'I'm a psychiatrist. Believe me, he's lying.'
'That woman is crazy. She is separating this boy from his father.'
Alex added fuel to the fire.
'Shut up! I'll kill you.'
That was all she needed to say. Then men grabbed her hands and dragged her away. She kept cursing Alex, who returned the smile she gifted him a while ago. Sweet Victory!
The day came to an end. The boy found this father, and Alex met up with Jason, and they all lived happily ever after.
