Christmas Holiday

A stalker?? or kidnapper?!

In a one cold night, at the mall were people still going back and fort, from these christmas sales. A man wearing a wornout christmas hoodie that has a stripe of red, green and a little bit of white, were staring at the families that happily went inside the mall.

He follows one of them, rather reclutantly. The family consist of three; a man, a woman and a boy. He follows them rather slowly, seemingly thinking, pre-occupied. When the family reach the food court, the kid who is sleeping at the shoulder of his father slowly open his eyes and did a cute little yawn.

The man seemingly in a trance at the boys cuteness, didn't manage to dodge the incoming cart of an olderly woman with her grandchild in the cart. They collided and the cart got the man's toe. He hiss in pain and bow towards the grandma and muttered a small apology. The grandma then told the man to be attentive and to watch where he's going.

With a nod and another apology, the man quickly follows the family of 3 that he's been tailing. This time he makes sure to be attentive to his surroundings too, then he stalks them all the way through.

"When we will go to the meet and greet santa something? Ronald would always talks about him whenever he's awake." The father ask as the child's eye lit up in anticipation. The woman's laughter were light and warm as she fondles the child's head and lean a kiss to his husband. With her tender voice she said, "After we eat honey. Be patient. A good kid is always patient."

He saw them go to some Santa meet-and-greet, then to play at timezone, they even watch a movie, then now they are in some toy store. Some observant people from the stores the family of three visited, noticed the man after the family left their stores. Some concerned ones secretly informed the guards about what they've seen. The guard near the toy store spotted the family and quickly found the man following behind them.

The guard notice the left shoe fell from the kid's feet and he swiftly caught it and happily gives it back to the mother and father duo. Doing so, he also told the father about what he've seen and what the other guard were informing in the radio. The man and woman then looks at each other and glance at the nearby glass window in their front.

*gasp* Both of them were shock to this the man in the hoodie. They hastily thank the guard. The woman quickly grab the child and helps him put on his shoe while small bead of teardrops were falling in her face, while the man turns around to catch the man in the hoodie. Startled by the scene, some passerby stood there confused.

Why? Because, the face of the man and woman looks happy and yearning. The guard then turns toward the mother and child at the side and he heard the mother talking to the child ask his mother, "Momma, why are you crying?"

"Ronald, your brother came back! Roland is back!", with a smile the woman cried and hugs the child. Then she let go and scoop the child up. The child shows shock then smiles wide at his mother, with an excited cute-child voice he says, "Brother Roland came back! My wish to santa came true!".

The mother and child duo then quickly catches up to the man in the hoodie. Then and there, the guard felt warmth. He then informs the other guards about the 'stalker-incident' and continues his work with a smile on his face. The other families who also heard the mother and child conversation also felt warmth and grateful at the scene. 

Well, being cautious is not a problem. Good thing the guard notices the picture, the 'stalker' is holding; A family of four.

"Should I also wish to Santa later on? I really want a nice watch." The guard mumbles as he walks back to his post. 'Or maybe that only works for those what they call Christmas Miracle?'
