Seven Years Later

Writer's Point of view

The hospital

"Momma!!!! Momma, finally I'm going home!! I'm going home!!! Today!!" The tiny voice of Kenneth running to her made her smile as she walked inside the children's ward.

Little Kenneth rushed into her already wide arms happily, as Judy engulfed him in a warm embrace, lifting him off the ground, feeling complete with just that.

"Yes darling, you are" Judy answered smiling.

"The doctor said I'm going to be ok, I'm not going to die and I acted bravely like superman," he said and pouted.

Kenneth is a big fan of Superman and doesn't like missing the program even in the hospital.

"Yes darling, You did well" she chuckled

"I'm superman, I'm superman" He chanted happily as she chuckled

Judy came to the hospital to pick up her son, Kenneth. Kenneth is a pretty seven year-old little boy who always has a big smile on his face every time and loves his mum so much.

And no doubt he looks just exactly like his dad, which Judy is always jealous of that because he only took the color of her hair.

Kenneth looks cute in anything anyways so he is just as cute as he always is.

She left her dad's house after taking Kenneth from the hospital and never tried to look for the other baby.

He has the other one while she has Kenneth and she is ok with it.

But unfortunately, the young boy has been hospitalized for the last two weeks because he fell hitting his head on the staircase of his school while he was fighting with his mate in school, they are bullying him because he doesn't have a Dad.

The nurses are attending to him right now so they could round off his treatment and they would leave.

As they were attending to him, Judy stretched forth her wallet and looked inside. She smiled lightly.

"Phew, with this I can surprise Ken for being a good boy," she grinned as she stare at her child

Judy has been trying to feed herself with her son although it wasn't easy she was able to feed her child and take him to the best school because she doesn't want her child to lack anything.

The school Kenneth went to didn't try to help her with his treatment because they felt he was the cause of what happened to him.

Thank God the surgery he had for his head went well without no complications.

She has separate savings account for some important things that might happen in the future either for his school or other expenses for him so it won't be a surprising thing, she would have always been prepared for days like this. So it didn't shake her though.

With hard work, she will be able to save them back. She is very sure of that.

She would have had a perfect job to cater to herself and her son but because of her son, she couldn't complete her school.

Moreover, she is now a single mother to a seven-year-old boy with a stubborn heart that loves to fight a lot when he is bullied so she always has to be there for him.

But despite that, she still works as a secretary in a not too big company, which is average in the city to live which will soon be sold off.

Sometimes she will always think about her other child with their child, about how he is faring but she waved it off because she knows his dad will be able to cater to him...

Also, whenever she sees are son's smiling face, Judy felt she is complete and forgets about the other and enjoys her moments with him At least, she knows she has to take care of him despite knowing she is nothing.

Kenneth is all that Judy as and she as to protect him.

"There you are boy" The doctor smiled at the active young boy while he walked towards his Judy and stood in front of her

"Thanks, doctor Malcolm" he smiled Lovingly

"Too bad I might not see you again," He said sadly

"Why are you saying that," Judy asked frowning at what he said.

"You know this is the last time I will come to the hospital for my treatment, right," Kenneth said

"Yes, since you are the superman" the doctor chuckled

"Yes, " Kenneth squealed but later pouted," I will miss you"

"Same here boy"

"Thanks, doctor Malcolm" Judy appreciated him

"There is no need, it is my job" He nodded

"Alright, bye," Judy said and held Kenneth with his bags

"Bye doctor Malcolm" Kenneth waved at him

"Bye"
***
"So Mum, where are we going," he asked frowning," because this isn't the way to our house"

" That is a surprise" Judy smiled

"Hmm... I love surprises" he squealed.

After some minutes, they got to Dee's bakery shop.

"Here we are" Judy announced as they stopped at the entrance of the building.

Judy decided to celebrate Kenneth's discharge from the hospital. This is the first time he will spend time in the hospital.

To celebrate his discharge from the hospital, she took him to eat his favorite cake and that is how they found themselves here.

Kenneth loves chocolate cake so much and can't do without it. He loves it so much more than anything but not more than his mom.

Judy makes sure she finds time to bring him every day to Dee's bakery shop for chocolate cake.

"Momma, chocolate cake" he squealed and ran inside without waiting for Judy.

"Easy, Ken" She shouted as she ran after him inside and ordered a chocolate cake.

"They went to take a seat close to the window. A waiter is coming over with his cake.

"Hi Judy, welcome Ken" the waiter greeted

"Hi aunt Jane" Kenneth smiled

Judy and Kenneth are regular customers in the shop. No worker doesn't know them.

"Here is your cake, enjoy" Jane dropped the cake smiling at Ken's happy face

"Thanks, Jane" Judy smiled

"Momma, chocolate cake" Ken pointed

"Can we eat now?" He asked and pouted

"Of course, there are all yours"

"Yeah, a big chocolate cake, thanks momma" he winked her Judy.

Judy chuckled at his playful wink.

"Momma, let me feed you," He asked

"Yes," she nodded and drew her chair closer to accept the cake from him.

"Hmm. Delicious" Judy giggled

The Next Day

In The Afternoon

SPAIN: BARCELONA... 2:51 pm

The latest Bugatti ZB16-4 Veyron is parked outside an ice cream parlor. A seven year-old young boy is sitting down inside the car with a young man, which looks like his personal bodyguard waiting for the ice cream he sent his driver to get for him.

The young boy is looking at how a mother and her daughter are showing their affection outside on the street.

The mother helped her daughter to clean the chocolate ice cream stain on her cheek and the girl pecked her mum in appreciation.

The young boy for the first time as an indifferent expression on his face. He always put on a cold face every time but that doesn't mean he isn't a cool boy.

He kept staring at both of them without taking his eyes away from them. He felt envy towards them because of their lovely relationship even though they don't look rich like he is.

He took his eyes away from them and asked his bodyguard.

"How close is your mother to you, Vincent,"

"We are very close," The bodyguard answered

"Hmmm,"

"I love my mum so much, we did a lot of things together with my dad a lot when I was young. Staying with one's family is the best moment one could ever ask for. Having a mother and father makes a family complete. My dad envies my mum and my closeness...,"

"I never told you to tell me a story," The young boy snapped

"Sorry young Master Axel," Vincent apologized.

The driver came inside with the ice cream Axel told him to get for him.

"Young Master, this is the ice cream you asked for me to get," The driver entered the car and gave the ice cream to Vincent...

"I don't need it anymore," Axel said and ordered...

"Let's go,"
