CHAPTER 66

Enjoy your day guys!!

Basit's father was in the living room, folded his two legs on the chair and working seriously on the laptop. There was a soft drink side him and the television was on, he uses to watch it for few minutes and continued with his work later.

He really loves to be working from home, just once in few weeks that he used to go to company to check on them.

His girlfriend was still around, just planning to go back today and she had been preparing already. He didn't talk to her since that day, just looking at each other and doing their things differently. His mind had been removing from her, didn't even pay attentions or shows any interest to all the attentions that she was trying to give him.

The young lady who was the Personal assistant came out from the kitchen with a tray in her hand, she put down the tray on the dining table and serving the food on the table for Basit's father. It was some vegetables with no fat food, that she uses to eat and it was one she ordered her Personal assistant to make for him as usual.

"Sir! I have set the table for you" She said with low voice as she got down to the living room and standing at the front of him. She had dressed in an outfit already.

"Can you please take it back, I have the food that I will eat ready" He said with low voice.

"Alright Sir!" She said with low voice, turned back and wanted to be going back to the dining room when he called her back.

"Help me to warm the swollen in the fridge and with vegetable soap that my wife cooked, I will appreciate if you can do that!" He said with low.

"Your Wife-----""Okay Sir!" The lady said with low voice and leaving.

His girlfriend was in the Master bedroom, put two traveling bags on the bed and packing different clothes inside it. Packing the clothes that she could wear for the shoot inside a big bag and packing her normal clothes inside the small bag.

She was wearing a very beautiful short gown, wearing a multicolor wig and with a simple makeup on her face. It was the cloth that she quickly wanted to pack so that they could leave.

She drew the travelling bag closer to her, zipped it and put it on the floor. She continued packing the second box and arranging the box well, and she had put a blue handbag beside it. Sound of the door opened and her personal assistant entered, she closed the door and walking inside.

"Ma, I am done and it's you that I am waiting for so that we can go now" She said.

"I am almost done! Have you serves my husband his lunch? And when is he?" She asked with low voice as she was zipping the box.

"He is in the living room Ma. But Ma, he said that he didn't want that food, it's another food that he asked for and with soap prepared by his ex-wife" She stopped what she was doing and faced her P. A, looked at her for few minutes and turned back to what.

"Carry the bags outside and arrange them well inside the car, when you are done come and call me!" She carried the handbag and leaving the room.

Her personal assistant carried a travelling bag, rolling it out as the door opened and walking behind her.

Basit's father's girlfriend climbed the staircase down to the living room, met him in the same position that was and still working on the laptop. She put the handbag down on a chair and walking closer to him; she bend down bit and kissed him on his lips and sat down on the chair opposite to him. He was just pressing the keyboard and didn't utter a word.

"I don't like this silent treatment at all, not talking to me and also you left the Master bedroom for me. Why now? I have said that I am sorry" She said with low voice.

"You are sick and I am unable to come, but it's because I am busy and you too now that. We thank God you are fine now, so I don't think you need all this!" Basit's father didn't raise his head up just busy with what he was doing.

"Well! I am going back now, and it's just a week I will spend. So I will be back next week, it's just two days I will be able to spend with you in that week because I have much work to do. Next week is so tight but I will sneeze and force to get that two days so that we can talk and solve all this issues" She looked at him.

"If I come back next week, we are going to talk because I don't like all this silent treatment at all. You are hurting me with it!"

"You are not saying anything? I am talking to you?" The P. A looked at them as she was going upstairs to carry the second bag.

"As you can see I am very busy as well, you have said next week, two days again so no problem" He said with low voice and starring at the laptop.

"I will make sure I get that two days out of that week, we really have to talk. You were sick, I was busy and now you are fine! So does it has to be something serious like this" She said with low voice and looking at him.

"Ma! I am done and the manager has been calling Ma!" Her personal assistant said and standing far from them.

"Alright! Go and wait for me inside the car, I am coming and gives me just few minute" She replied and her P. A turned back and going out.

"I have to go now, I will call you as I get there!" She said as she got up and carried her bag on the chair.

"Bye!" He replied with low voice, she kissed him again and going out.

Sound of the door opened and closed. Basit's father closed the laptop as the door closed, and rest his hand on it.

"Twelve years relationship and still like this! I don't think I can continue like this, I need a family not relationship!" He said with loud voice and tapping his figures on the laptop and thinking.

********

Raheem's car drove inside a compound of a big restaurant and which was the same restaurant that Ashar too uses to come to; the security guard controlled him to where he should park and greeted him as he parked. Raheem off the car's engine, opened the door and got down from the car. He quickly walked to passenger's side at the front and opened the door for Semirat.

"Thank you!" She said with low voice as she was coming down and Raheem closed the door. Two of the held each other and going inside.

"The same restaurant!" Semirat said as they were going inside.

"Have you been here before?" Raheem asked.

"Yes! I, Ashar and Somia. It's Ashar that brought us here and said it's his favorite restaurant" Door opened automatically for them and they entered into the restaurant.

"It's both of us favorite restaurant, we have many things in common and it's from our childhood" Raheem said with smiles.

"Welcome Ma and welcome Sir, please have your seat!" A lady said with smiles and with white teeth.

"Please sit down my lady!" Raheem said as he drew a chair out for her, Semirat smiles and sat down on the chair. Raheem too sat down and looking at each other.

"Sir! Ma, what did you want?" The lady asked, Semirat took the menu on the table and checking the list.

"Gives me my favorite" Raheem said and Semirat called out what she wanted including the drink and the lady left.

"I am so happy that you comes here with me, I am very happy" Semirat giggles, brought her phone out from her bag and saw Somia's message on the screen.

"I just always uses too be happy that I met you and always grateful for having you beside me, I am using this opportunity to tell you that 'I love you', I really do"

'The guy said that you should not let Tomiwa to be staying long in school, so I think we should cancelled his afternoon lesson for now and told Raheem this so that he will know what to do, maybe to pick him first and go back to pick Basit if it won't be so stressful for him'

"You are not with me! Is everything okay?" Raheem asked with low voice.

"It's a text message from Somia, she is helping me to work on something very important so she is giving me feeds back on it" She explained.

"And what is that if I may ask?" The lady got there and they stopped talking, she served the food that they ordered at the front of them, with the juice and leaving the place.

"Tomiwa's life is a big risk, so we are providing security for him?" She said with low voice.

"What? And you don't tell me about it or tells Ashar!" Raheem said with loud voice.

"It's now that I want to tell you and also want to talk to the school management"

"What is the problem? What really happened?" Raheem really loves Semirat so he cares about everything that concern her.

"Not Akeem, his father that went to borrow money from a drug dealer and for few weeks now he has been coming to me, came to my house and my working place asking me to help him to pay the money for the guy not to kill him. But I let him known that I don't have any money, all those days have passed and nothing concern me about your life again" Raheem folded his hand and listen careful to her.

"It was now on Monday that you dropped Tomiwa at home, that he told me that his father came to his school, bought something for him and told him that he is back now. And I know what he is trying to do, just want to put Tomiwa's life in a danger because he knows that the guy's boys have been in town searching for him and from the voice note he sent to me, the guy said that he will kill him together with anybody he finds him with.

Listen to the voice note" Semirat played the voice note and gave it to Raheem.

"What! The guy will deadly! I heard a gunshot" Raheem said as he put the phone down.

"Yes! Somia just text me now that the guy is an international drug dealer. You now browed money from that guy and expecting me to pay it for you, now still has the gut to tell me that nothing concern me if they takes him together with my son, he is your son too now. And I know what he is trying to do, wants those boys to take him together with our son so I won't have any choice than to pay the money"

"How much is the money? And how much has he raised?" Raheem asked.

"It's two million naira, he doesn't has a job, I told you who he is now. He doesn't has any money even be one-third of the money, and he is not ready to work"

"This is so serious!" Raheem said.

"It's my son that I am after and that is why we are doing all this because all those boys have been searching for Akeem. And his plan is to get him together with our son" She said with low voice.

"The those guys that are helping us to monitor Tomiwa told Somia that we should not let Tomiwa to be staying long in school, so if we go now I want to cancel his afternoon lesson for a while. I don't know when you borrowed the money, what you borrowed the money for and---"Raheem held Semirat's two hands and he saw that she had been nervous.

"Take a breathe and calm down okay!" He said with low voice and Semirat breathe out.

"Don't worry, nothing is going to happen to Tomiwa and if to go and pick him first, I will go so rest your mind love and anything for you" He smiles at him.

"Thank you! Akeem is my big mistake, see what he put me into now!"

"Just calm down okay! Everything is going to be fine" Raised her hands up and kissed them one after the other, Semirat smiles and looking at each other.

"We are here to have fun, don't let me spoil it. So back to our sweet conversations" She said with low voice and Raheem was looking at her with a romantic smiles on his face.
