Rita's Unseen Destiny.

The next day, Naome was discharged from the hospital, and Rita was overjoyed to have her mom back home safe and sound. As they walked in the door, Noame was greeted with a warm welcome from the rest of the family, who were eager to see her and help her recover. 

 As Naome walked through the front door, Gerald's face lit up with a bright smile "mom!" he exclaimed, rushing to her side. " I missed you so much!" Naome's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged her young son tightly. "I missed you too, sweetie. So much." 

 Gerald pulled back and looked up at her with his wide eyes. "I was so worried about you. Rita told me what happened. You are really okay now? " Naome nodded, smiling. " I am okay, baby. I am just a little tired, but I am home now, and I am not going anywhere. "

 Gerald's face lit up with joy. " Yay! I am so happy you are home, mom. I don't like it when you are not here." Naome chuckled and ruffled his hair. I don't like it either, kiddo. But I am back now, and we can catch up on everything I missed." 

 Gerald nodded enthusiastically. " I want to show you everything I did while you were gone? I made a picture for you, and I learned a new song at school!

 Naome smiled and listened as Gerald chatted excitedly about his activities. She was grateful to be home with her loved ones, and she knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be.

 Rita helped Naome get settled into her favorite armchair, where she could rest and relax. The family chatted and caught up, happy to have Naome back home. 

 When David entered the house, David asked Rita if she knew the person who paid the hospital bills. Rita replied, "Oh, dad, it's a long story, but I will tell you. You know how we were worried about how we were going to pay for it? David replied, yeah, I remember. We were all stressed about it. Rita said, well it turns out that Carlson, my boss and the man I am seeing, paid the entire bill! " David was surprised and said, "What?! That's amazing! But why would he do that? Rita spoke, "l know, right? It's incredible. Apparently, he has a lot of resources and wanted to help us out. But what's even more amazing is that he didn't want me to know about it at first!" 

David replied, "Wow, that's so generous of him! But why didn't he want you to know?" Rita replied. " I think he wanted to surprise me and make sure I didn't feel obligated to him or anything. But I found out anyway, and I am just so grateful for his kindness. David replied, "That's incredible. I am so happy for you Rita. You deserve it. Rita replied, "Thanks, dad. I am just still in shock about the whole thing. But it's a huge weight off our shoulders, and we can focus on Naome's recovery now."

 David, Rita's dad, was so grateful to Carlson for paying the hospital bill that he wanted to show his appreciation in a special way. Rita, why don't you invite Carlson over for a family dinner this weekend, he suggested.

 Rita was hesitant at first, but David insisted" It's the least we can do to thank him for his kindness, he said.

 So, Rita invited Carlson, and he agreed to come over on Sunday afternoon. When he arrived, he bought gifts for everyone, flowers for Rita, a book for David, a scarf for Naome, and a toy car for Gerald.

 "Woow, Carlson, you didn't have to do that! Rita exclaimed, touched by his thoughtfulness. I wanted to show my appreciation for your family's kindness and hospitality," Carlson said, smiling.

 The family sat down to a delicious dinner and conversation flowed easily. Carlson was charming and gracious, and Rita's family was delighted to get to know him better.

 As they finished dessert, David raised his glass. To Carlson, a true friend and benefactor. Thank you for your kindness and generosity." The family echoed the toast and Carlson smiled, looking happy and content.

 Thank you for having me, "he said. " I feel like part of the family now."

 Rita smiled, feeling a sense of joy and gratitude." You are part of the family, Carlson. And we are so glad to have you here." 

 As they sat in the living room, sipping coffee and chatting, Carlson began to tell David about his family." My dad, Regan Trump, was a successful business person, "he said. " He found sha industries and built it into the company it is today."

 David's eyes widened in surprise." Wait a minute, Regan Trump? I think I knew him?"

 Carlson's eyes lit up. " Really? How did you know him?"

 David smiled, "We went to college together!" He was three years a head of me, but we were in the same fraternity. I remember him being a brilliant and ambitious guy even back then." 

 Carlson's jaw dropped. " That's amazing! I had no idea. What a small world!" David chuckled. " I know, right? I am glad to see that his son is just as successful and kind as he was."

 Carlson smiled, feeling a sense of pride and connection. " Thank you, David. That means a lot coming from you."

 Rita, who had been listening quietly, spoke up. " Woow, this is incredible. What are the chances of that happening?

 David shrugged. I guess it's like fate. But I am glad we reconnected Carlson. You are welcome here anytime.

 Carlson smiled, feeling grateful for the warm reception. " Thanks David. I feel like I have found a new family here.". 

 As the evening wore on, Carlson and David continued to chat and laugh together, sharing stories and memories from his college days. Rita and Noame joined in, asking questions and enjoying the warm and freezy atmosphere.

 Gerald, who had been quietly observing the scene, suddenly spoke up. " Hey Carlson, can l ask you something? " Sure thing, buddy!" Carlson replied with a smile. " Do you think you could take a tour of the Sha industries some time? I want to see what it's like to be a billionaire!"

 Carlson chuckled. " Well I am not a billionaire yet, but I would be happy to take you on a tour. Maybe we can even make it a family outing?"

 Rita's eyes lit up. That sounds like a great idea! We would love to see the company and learn more about what you do." David nodded in agreement." Yes, that would be fantastic. Thank you for offering, Carlson!" 

 As the night drew to a close, Carlson stood up to leave. Thank you all again for the wonderful evening. I feel like I have found a new family here." 

 Rita walked him to the door, her heart full of gratitude. " Thank you, Carlson. We are so glad to have you in our lives.
