Alice.
I had never seen nor heard Raymond talk weak before, when I called him, his voice was low, depressed and sad.
I was very unhappy when he informed me that Marie died, Marie couldn’t have died for no reason, I should believe that some people were behind it.
I arrived at Raymond’s floor, he was already dressed and was leaning by the wall of his room
“Alice!” He called and I walked to him gently.
“I’m sorry for the loss of Marie.” I said and stood very close to him.
I wanted to hug him to comfort him but I do not know how he would react, people say a sad man gets angry easily.
I would not like him to get angry especially at a time like that.
“Let’s leave.” He said and walked away from me.
Thank goodness I did not make any attempt to hug him.
We took the elevator down, got inside the car and he commenced driving to his father’s house.
I was quiet all through our stay in the car, I do not want to provoke him at a time like that.
Raymond and I arrived at his father’s house and we both got down. As if they had been expecting him, his family members started coming out of the house.
His dad, mama Any, Rose, Leonard and Donald.
Raymond was surprised at their sudden appearance.
His dad walked to Raymond and said; “You really came because of Marie?”
“Why is everyone outside? are you all out to mourn Marie with me? ” He asked.
“Not at all. Nothing is wrong with Marie.” His father said. “I just needed something to bring you home.”
“Woof woof woof!” Maried barked and out of his mansion to where Raymond stood.
Like a wife that had seen her husband for years, so was Raymond, he ran to Marie, carried him and hugged him tightly.
“I have missed you.” Raymond said as he rubbed Marie.
Marie remained in Raymond’s arm. He held unto Raymond tightly as if he doesn’t want him to leave him again.
Raymond placed Marie down gently. Marie kept looking unto Raymond as if begging him not to leave him behind.
Raymond them turned to Leonard.
“Why did you lie to me?” His question was directed at Leonard.
“Dad told me to, I only delivered his message the way he wanted me to.” Leonard replied.
“I’m sorry if that hurts.” Leonard said further.
“Alice, I never knew I would be seeing you so soon. ” Raymond’s father said with a smile.
“I have two things to tell you, if you love your career, stay away from my son, if you love your parents too, stay away from my son.” The man said with a wicked smile on his lips.
“Tell your son to stay away from me, why are you threatening me?” I asked boldly.
“Erm…sorry , if that looks like a threat?” Mama Any stepped forward and handed over a file to me.
I collected it and while trying to read what was inside, she said; “The summary of what was inside was that your beauty contest application has been cancelled.”
“And if that is not an enough warning, I can call the school right now and order your expulsion.” Raymond’s father added.
My mood turned into a sad one.
“Go in.” Raymond said to me and I walked inside his car.
I did not know what else he said to his family, he came back inside his car and began to drive back to his mansion.
I was so sad and depressed. My only hope is for Raymond to find a way out of it as he always does.
“I like the challenge.” Raymond said.
“What?” I asked not understanding the full meaning of his words.
“My family! they wanted you to stop moving with me and because of that, they ordered the termination of your beauty contest application.” He said.
“Is there a way you would help?” I asked.
He was quiet for a while, he glanced at me and said; “Don’t be scared, I’ll look for a way out. But… I assure you by the mercies of God, you will win the beauty contest.”
He was full of courage when he said it and it gave me so much hope.
“I’m not doing this cause I have feelings for you.” He said.
“I didn’t ask, but why are you doing it then?” I asked.
He looked at me and smiled, then continued driving.
I barely see him smile, and now that he smile, I was bewildered.
