CHAPTER 39

Have a lovely day and enjoy your day!!

Raheem's elder sister was inside a big and popular shopping mall opposite their estate, it was very rich and popular people that uses to come to that shopping mall because of where it was located. The place that it was, it was billionaire people, politicians and other average people that were living in that location so the mall was for only them.

She was carrying a medium basket on her left arm, picking what she needed and dropping it inside the basket. Walking along a straight line at body product side, looking up and using her eye to search for what she needs.

The security standing at the entrance of the shopping mall opened the right door for Basit's father and his girlfriend that he divorced Raheem's sister for. Two of them were using black noise masks, using it because of the virus called Corona virus.

Basit's father took the medium basket as they entered, holding it with his right hand and going to the side where biscuits, cookies and other light snakes were. Playing with each other and having fun.

Raheem's elder sister came out from the side that she was to where different oils were, looking for an essential oil when Basit's father saw her back, he had know that she was the one.

He left his girlfriend to continue doing the shopping without telling her anything and walking closer to Raheem's sister, he touched her on her shoulder and from behind.

"Hi! Beautiful" He said with smile as Raheem's sister faced him.

"Oh! It's you, how are you doing?" She too replied with smile.

Two of them had became a very closer friends after the divorce.

"I am good as you can see, my girl came to get somethings so that is why we are here. How are you? And how is my son doing as well"

"He is fine! I too came here to get some body product"

"Love! Should I take this?" Basit's father's girlfriend said and looked behind her when she didn't hear a reply. She felt jealous as she saw him talking to Raheem's sister and smiling at each other.

"Make sure you do shopping for my son too, don't do it alone"

"I came here for only mine, don't involve your son in it!" She laughed.

"Get biscuits, ice cream and pizza for my son don't shop for alone yourself, get him all his favourite things"

"Okay oh! As you said" She said and two of them continued smiling.

"Okay! Enjoy your shopping!" He said with low voice and leaving the place.

"Same too you!" Raheem's sister said and continued shopping.

"Where is he going again? Doesn't he came here to do shopping with me or with his ex-wife, what nonsense is this now" His girlfriend said with anger showed all over her as she saw Basit's father going to another place.

"I know what to do!" She carried the basket with anger and continued shopping, dropping the items inside the basket with anger.

"What have you get!" Basit's father said as he hugged his girlfriend from behind and as he got back. She removed his hands from her body with anger and faced him.

"What nonsense is that? You left me here and went to meet your ex-wife; talking and shopping with her. You now came here asking me what I have get!" She hisses and shook her head.

"I just went to greet her as I saw her, will I ignore her when it's not that we are fighting. She is my son's mother"

"You should have go back to her now when she is your son's mother!"

"What happened? You don't suppose to be doing like this. Do you think I want to go back to her, we are just friends now and nothing more. We just talk normally and asked about my son!" Said with low voice, people passing and doing shopping were looking at them.

"Obviously it's like you have been liking her! I see the way you are talking and smiling at each other!"Said with anger and loudly.

"Come on! Remember I divorced her because of you so that we could be together, so if I like her I won't have done that!" Said with low voice.

"Even if it's not you, I have want us to get married now. Woman with jealous!" He said with smile, pet her and they continued with the shopping and continued playing.

Raheem's elder sister put the basket on the table beside the cashier as the lady at the front of her left, bringing the items out from the basket and the cashier was inputting them into the computer.

A lady whom was the supervisor there, walked to the cashier that Raheem's sister was with and whispered to her.

The cashier shook her head and continued inputting the items, packing it inside a big nylon as she was inputting them.

"I am paying with POS. So how much is it?" Raheem's sister asked as she was taking the nlyons one by one at the front of the cashier.

"Someone has paid for your items, he said your friend" the cashier replied her.

"My friend! Who could that be?" She asked with surprised and didn't think it to Basit's father.

"That is him over there Ma! With his girlfriend" the cashier said and pointing at Basit's father.

"Oh! Thank you" She with surprise and leaving the place.

Basit's father and his girlfriend were coming out from a corner and wanted to join a queue when Raheem's sister met them.

"Why do you do that! The cashier said you have paid for items, said they should add it to yours" Said with low voice.

"Nothing wrong with that! Meet you here, I must do my responsibility for you as my son's mother" He smiled.

"Wow! Okay then, thank you very much!"

"Stop that! Hope you bought for my son, if you don't better go back!"

"Sure! I did, got all his favourite snacks and cookies"

"Can we go!" Basit's father's girlfriend said loudly.

"Okay! Enjoy yourself, I will sent you regard to your son" Raheem's sister said and turned back as his girlfriend talked. The security guard opened the left door for her and she got down.

She unlocked the car with the control as she had been about to get to where she packed. She opened the back door, put the items on the seat, closed the door and going to the front.

She entered into the car, started it and driving out from the mall.

Semirat was in the living room sitting on the couch, put a bowl of popcorn beside her and watching a movie. Enjoying the little time before she go to bed, Tomiwa was laying on the play mat and he had slept off after playing for some hours.

Semirat's phone started ringing on the table, she positioned the popcorn very well for it not to fall and took the phone.

She was so surprised with the number calling her, it was mobile number of the security guards at the entrance of the estate that she was living. So she took her time before she picked, because it was very usual for them to call.

"Hello! I hope no problem for calling me?" She asked as she picked.

"Good evening miss Semirat! Please there is a man here and asking for you, we can't let him in unless you show up or are you the one that gives him an appointment!"

"No! I am not expecting anybody, waiting please! What did he said his name is?" She asked with low voice.

"He said! Wait Ma, let me ask clearly" Semirat hold on and waiting.

"Hello ma! Are you still there? He said is name is Ali"

"Ali! Ali!!" She loudly twice and with surprise, it was Tomiwa's father that was bearing Ali.

"Okay! Tell him to go and wait for me at the lodge, I will meet him there" She said after keeps silent for few seconds.

"Okay Ma! I will take him there if he doesn't know the place" Semirat hanged up, holding the phone and thinking.

"How did he located me? And know my whereabouts" She said with surprised. Took a scarf on the chair and leaving the living room.

Sound of the door opened and closed. She got down to the compound, entered into the car and driving out from the compound.

She drove inside the compound of the lodge after some minutes, packed and got down from the car. She saw Ali as she got down at where he was sitting, she breathe in and going there.

"Hey! How are you?" She said with low voice as she got to where he was and sat down on the chair.

"Semirat! You now disappeared just like that don't even think about me or how I will feel!" He said with low voice.

"What do you want? Let me even forget about how you located me" said and without a smile on her face.

"I really miss you! I miss you Wallahi" Semirat looked at him.

"I am not your wife again! Do you remember that, I am asking you again and for the last time. Why are you here?"

"Calm down now! Why is your voice like this. I still use to see you as my wife but if you said you are not no problem, but still you are mine baby mama so I miss you!" He said with smile.

"Are you here to see your Son?" She asked loudly.

"I know my son will be fine! You are a rich woman and capable enough to give him anything he want so I know he won't lack of anything at all. I am not here for him!" Said with loud voice.

"If you are not here for your son, so why are you here?"

"I need money, in fact I am in a serious trouble right now and which I need your assistant on!" Semirat breathe out and didn't surprised as he said so because she had know that he needs something that was why he searched for her not that he loves her or his son.

"I borrowed money from a man and this man is a deadly man, he is a drug dealer and he has been asking about his money. But there is no where I can get the money from, it's two million Naira. Please help me, give me and safe my life" He begged.

"Why did you borrow the money in the first instance and what do you used the money for?" Semirat asked with low voice.

"I borrowed it so that I can use it for a business but unfortunately all those people whom introduced me to the business were fraudsters. Now the man want his money back!"

"I am so sorry! I don't have any money to give anybody or you-"

"Semirat! Semirat!! Don't talk like that now. I know you have it that is why I am here, look at the kind of estate that you are living and also it's MMO company that you are working now!"

"Oh! So you have know all this about me. As i said earlier, I don't have any money two million or much you call it. The only help I can do is that I can help you to get a job and earn good salary!"

"Oh! Spare me that! I don't need any job even how much are they going to be paying me monthly that I will use to pay the debt. I have only three months left even now it's two months and few weeks!" He stopped talking for few minutes and looking at Semirat.

"This man has been on my neck seriously and it's not the kind of a person I can run away for because he has connections everywhere. Give me the money or you want me dead!" Trying to be using emotion blackmail again, didn't know, that was in the past for Semirat.

"I am sorry I don't have any money!" Semirat stood up.

"If you want a job, I can help you with that. Goodbye" She said with low voice and leaving the place.

"Do you want me dead!" He said loudly but Semirat didnt do like she heard him just going to where she packed her car.
