Alice
I woke up and hurriedly sat upright, I checked my watch and saw that it was few minutes to 12PM.
My days! My mom would have been wondering why I haven’t come back home.
Raymond entered at that moment.
“I believe you rested well.” He said but I quickly stood.
“I need to go home!” I said hurriedly.
“Fine!” He answered and we took the elevator down, we waddled to his car and he drove me to my house.
“See you!” I said and waved at him.
I hurriedly ran inside, I met my mom sitting uncomfortably and watching the television.
“Mom!”I called and I went to sit beside her.
As soon as she sighted me, she let out a brief sigh.
” I was worried when I couldn’t find you this morning.” She said.
“I went out yesterday and slept off…I actually went to read.” I said.
“Try to inform me next time before going out, I was really disturbed.” She said.
I let out a gasp of relief when I noticed that she didn’t ask where I went to.
“How is your health mom?” I asked.
“Getting better!” She replied with a smile.

Raymond.
I drove to the restaurant where I had decided to work, I should resume in the evening on a norms but I decided to resume early today since Alice had gone and I was less busy.
I walked in, signed in and began work.
I served a customer and I was surprised to see that the customers were Leonard and Rose.
They must have find out in one way or the other that I had secured a job here.
I served them like I did not even know who they were, as I was about turning to leave, Leonard called; “Raymond.”.
I turned and shot them an indifferent look.
“This is not good for the family’s name, you can’t come and work in this kind of place when your dad can but the whole of this place for you.” Leonard said.
“I’m at work, I won’t be able to discuss with you.” I said and walked away.
I continued doing my work with diligence and I noticed that Leonard and Rose remained seated.
I noticed Leonard stood and as I trailed him with my eye, I realized he walked inside an office after exchanging few words with the manager.
“The CEO wants to see you.” A female worker said to me.
I nodded and walked to the CEO’s office.
I saw Leonard sitting with honour.
“This young man said he needs to see you, you are free to have a conversation with them, don’t worry about how long it takes.” The man said.
I did not reply him, Leonard stood and walked out.
I followed him and went to sit at their table.
Leonard and Rose were sitting opposite each other while I was sitting by the side.
“Raymond, I’ve missed you.” Rose said affectionately.
“Yes, she missed you so much, everyone at home has missed you too. Your dad is not happy at all, please come back home.” Leonard said.
“I’m not coming back soon, how is Marie?” I questioned.
“Marie!” Leonard called sadly and exchanged sad glances with Rose.
“He’s dead.” Rose declared.
My heads ached badly, I felt like I probably didn’t hear the right word. No! Marie can not die, why would he?
Tears were forming rapidly in my eyes.
“What killed my son?” I asked.
“We all woke one day, Donald and I decided to check on him at his mansion only to find him dead.” Leonard said and tears pour off my face.
I shouldn’t have left Marie, I should have rented an apartment for him too.
I cried and lowered my head to the table before me.
I was sad and felt empty.
“Raymond! I’m so sorry.” Leonard said.
After crying for few minutes, I brought out my hankercheif and cleaned my eye.
“I will come home this evening to bury Marie.” I said and stood.
“I would really like it if you do not come to disturb me at work again.” I walked from from them sadly.
My phone beeped and I picked it, I saw that the caller ID was Alice.
“Raymond, I missed many subjects at school today cause I was absent, will you teach me?” She asked.
“Marie is dead.” I said gently. “Come to my place quick so we can bury Marie and observe a one minute silence for him.”
I didn’t wait for Alice to reply before I hung up.
