Raymond came out of the school compound. He is expecting his personal driver to be waiting for him at the school gate but instead what he saw amazed him.
He ran into the big man open arms.
"Dad", he called as he hug the man's leg.
" You came to pick me. I didn't expect you to", Raymond was obviously glad to see him.
Three boys came out of the school compound.
"You really like this new chauffeur of yours", one if them said.
Raymond glared at the fat boy.
" He's no driver. He is my dad", Raymond said.
The fat boy in the middle laughed and his friends joined him.
"My mummy said your dad is dead. Your daddy used to be popular so every grown ups knew him", The fat boy said.
" Did your mum get you a step dad?", One of the boy friends asked.
Ray smiled.
He squat to the fat boy size.
"Give me your phone", he told the boy. " I will take a picture with you. Show your mum. It seems she still didn't hear the news that I resurrected from death. I am Raymond one and only father"
Ray smiled.
He turned to Raymond.
"Let's go. We are eating lunch out", he said.
The boy was happy and he nodded.
Dorris was waiting for them at the restaurant. It's a place she used to come with Ray.
" You guys are late. You knew I'm a busy woman", Dorris said.
Ray helped his son on his seat and sat down too.
"Don't worry. I'm coming over to the company tomorrow. You will still be president and I will just be the chairman and I will do all the difficult work. All you need to do is spend Money", Ray told her.
Dorris laughed.
" Are we still going on picnic this Saturday? ", Raymond asked.
" Yes we are. Don't you want to go?", he asked.
"I want to. I want to", Raymond said.
Ray pat the boy's head.
" Let's order", he said.
Ray went back to the company and he was warmly welcomed.
Soon it was weekend. Little Ray was very excited.
His dad bought a matching vest for them. He quickly put the vest on and he looked very good in it.
He rushed down the stairs and saw his dad there.
"Dad, look at me", the boy said.
Ray smiled.
" Wow! You are so good looking. Is there any other guy as handsome as you're. Are you really my son? You are very handsome than I am",Ray said.
Raymond was satisfied with his dad response.
"What's mum still doing? We are running late", Little Ray said.
" You know women. They are always taking time to dress up", Ray said. "Men have to be patient with them", Ray said.
" But mummy normally don't use to take much time when dressing up. Why do I feel like she changed so much after you came back from the hospital"
Ray laughed.
He ruffled the boy's head.
"What a smart boy"
The boy frowned.
"Dad, It took a while to style my hair", the boy said.
" Boys, I didn't keep you waiting did I?", the older boy and the younger boy turned to look at the woman.
They both exclaimed, "Wow!"
The family got to the picnic ground with the little boy feeling very excited.
"This is my first time on a picnic", the little boy said.
Dorris instinct keep telling her that something will happen.
She ignored it and continue having fun with her family.
They ate the food they brought along happily.
" Picnic food sure tastes better", Dorris said.
Raymond stare at his mum.
"Is there a different in the taste?", he asked not getting his mom point.
" It taste so different. Because I'm eating it with my family in an open place. You men did not know anything ", Dorris told them.
" oh! Why are those people standing there like that?", Raymond asked.
His parents followed his direction.
Dorris eyes widen.
