Tomiwa's father was inside the small kitchen wearing a short nikka and a pure white singlet. He brought out a pot under the table there, washed it inside the zick and put it on a gas cooker with a little water inside it.

He on light under it and started pouring noodles inside it and with it season, he had grand papper to it and covered it to be cooking. He washed his hands inside the zick and off the tap. Took two eggs among the eggs and mixing it inside a ceramic bowl, put grand pepper and poured it inside the nylon.

He opened the noodles that he was cooking and put the mixed egg inside the nylon inside it for it to cook. He washed the bowl, returned it back to the plates hanger and leaving the kitchen.

TJ was in the living room sitting on the long chair, resting his right hand on the pillow and watching movie. He didn't uses to go to work on Sunday and that was the only day he use to rest.

"Hope you cook mine with it?" He asked as he saw Tomiwa's father coming out from the kitchen.

"What do you know that I am cooking? Or what do you ask me to cook!" He said with low voice and standing at the front of television and not far from the kitchen.

"I beg anything you cook, we are going to eat it together" Tj said and starring at the movie.

"I don't cook your own so don't think of eating from it!" Said with low voice and going to the kitchen back.

"We are going to eat it together!" Tj said with smile.

Tomiwa's father quickly removed the food from the fire as he entered and off the light. He took a big ceramic flat plate, put it on the kitchen cabinet and poured the noodles inside it.

He carried the food down to the living room and put it on the table at the front of his friend and went back to the kitchen. Opened the small table fridge and brought out two bottles water, closed it back and left the living room.

"You are here so let eat!" Tj said as Tomiwa's father came out from the kitchen, he put the water down and sat down on the floor beside the table.

"It's because I pity you that his why I want to allow you!" He said with smile and started eating.

"I know you can't do that now!" Tj said as he was watching football and eating.

"Don't eat fast than me, if not I will carry it away!" He said.

"I can't allow you! Carry what" Tj said when Tomiwa's father's phone started ringing beside TJ.

"Please help me to pass the phone! Wait check who is calling first, if it's FIRE don't bring it!" Tj faced his left side and looking at who was calling.

"What is TJ's men?" He said and picked the phone up.

"Oh that are the guys you introduced to me, bring it please" He dropped the spoon inside the food and collected the phone.

"Let me call them back quickly!" He started calling the guy back and he had edgar to hear what they wanted to say.

"Hello Baba! Are you the one" the guy said.

"Yes! Is there any news because I have been expecting you since all these days"

"We have done with your job! It took us long period of time but we got all the necessary information that you needs!"

"Wow! So where is Semirat? How about her!" He shifted back a little from the food.

"Have they get her location?" Tj asked with low voice, Tomiwa's father did sign to him and continued talking to the guy.

"Sir! We found where your wife is working, where she is living the school and the school that her son is going. She works at the big and popular company MMO and she was the head of the auditing department, this is what gave us the opportunity to know where she was living and her son's school so we have sent the address to you"

"Wow! It's MMO company that she is working now, did you just send the address or you will just send it now"

"If you hang up now you will see it both her home and her son's school address. But there is one thing, no one is allowed to just enter MMO company or ask for anybody except if you will call the person and he or she will tell you where to meet her, also at her son's school, their security is so tight that you can't take a child or show up to any teachers for anything except if they are have been seeing you or they collect permission from the parent that you want to see their child"

"I don't have problem with that! Her address is okay for me. I don't have to go to her office at all. Thank you"

"You are welcome Sir! Please send our balance"

'I will surely do that! I am happy to hear this" he jumped up as he hanged up from the call. Tj stopped eating and looking at him with happiness as well.

"They have get all the information you need for you?" He asked with loud voice

"Yes! I have seen Semirat now I will be able to pay Fire, start up a small business and living big back" jumped on the chair.

"I heard him mentioning MMO company, is that where you wife is working or what?" Tj asked.

"Yes! That is her working place, I told you that she is a big woman. Even he said that she is the head of auditing department just imagine her salary level" said loudly.

"Wow! That is very good, why don't you ask for good job then to collect money" Tj suggested.

"I am not ready for any stress, she is my wife and what she has belong to me. I can't stress myself I beg" Semirat had spoiled him, he was so lazy just wants to be seeing everything on a platter of gold.

"Alright sha! Just remember me when money comes" Tj said, took the empty plate and going to the kitchen.

"Off course I will, please help me to balance those guys! I will return it back to you please!" Said loudly to Tj.

"Okay! No problem, I will give them tomorrow morning on my way going to work" Tj said as he came out from the kitchen, laid on the chair and continued watching his football match.

"Semirat! Why you make me suffer now, I miss you" he said to himself and it was because of the money, he didn't even miss his son at all even when they were still together. It was just money and money that he was all about.
