Daniel kept flipping over the pages of the documents on his office table, he couldn’t rectify what the problem was all about, he couldn’t concentrate. His old man had chosen to keep troubling him about getting a wife, “for crying out loud am just twenty nine” he suddenly spoked up, he flings the documents on the table and relaxed on the office chair
Daniel was the only son of a well known wealthy man, chief Beecroft but popularly known as chief daddy, he lost his wife at the birth of Daniel, years ago, he had refused to remarry because he couldn’t find any lady as loving as his late wife, Agnes or a woman whom Daniel will worm up to. He had been raising Daniel alone until he employed a nanny and a maid who took over from him, and at the age of seventeen, he sent Daniel abroad to school with his younger brother. Daniel was never a happy boy growing up without his mother, he finds it difficult to accept any one else except his nanny whom he grew fund of
Daniel was back in Nigeria and had taken over from his father’s chains of business and yet he won’t let him be on the issue of getting married. He picked up his phone which was ringing on the table, it was aunt Pat, his nanny calling
“Hello, big mommy, good afternoon”
“Afternoon, sorry to disturb you, just wanted to ask what you will like to have for dinner, so that Grace will start preparing it” she asked referring to the house maid
“Big mommy, tell her to prepare my favorite”
“Ok, I’ll do that now, and get back early so you won’t have it cold” she said
“Thank you, bye” he said and cut the call. He had grown to love this woman, she had become part of the family and chief Beecroft had been helping her family since she lost her husband and her two children were now in the University studying
There was a knock on the door and Daniel’s secretary walked in, he turned to her direction and stare from up to down. Kate was really a pretty lady, she was putting on a navy blue blouse on a plain black tight skirt, she wore a light make up and had her hair breaded allback but he won’t want to admit that, women are all the same, all they want is money, and s*x, he doesn’t believe in love himself

“Sir, are you ok” she asked seeing how he was staring at her, she pretend to be surprised because she won’t want him to know she was lusting after him
“Oh, sorry about that, what is it”
“Sir, I came to ask if there’s anything you would want me to, because I’ll be going for my lunch break” she said
“You can go, I have no work for you now, but be back early, we need to work on the project of newland company”
“Ok sir” she said and left
Chief Beecroft sat down on a cushion in the sitting room, he was putting on a medicated specs and watching the evening news. He was already in his late sixty’s and was getting weaker day by day. Aunt Pat came out of the kitchen with a bowl of fruits and went to meet chief Beecroft
“Chief daddy, I brought you some fruits” she said dropping it on the table
“Thank you pat, is Grace not done yet”
“Just a few minutes, you know fruits is very good for you” she said as they heard the door bell. Chief took an apple and bite
“That must be Daniel” she said and went to open the door “hey, I know it you, welcome”

She said and made way for him as he walked in
“Good evening dad” he greeted as he slumped down on a nearby cushion
“How are you son” he asked as he took off his specs and kept it on the table
“Am good dad just tired”
“I’ll drop this in your room” aunt Pat said as she took his briefcase and went upstairs
“How is the company going”
“Very well, you should trust me on that, where is this girl am hungry”
“Good evening sir, dinner is ready” Grace said. She was already serving their dinner on the dinning table

How to start a conversation with a lady
“Thank God” he said standing up
“Won’t you freshen up first”
“Not now dad am hungry, let’s go” he said walking to the wide dinning table
“That’s why you should get a wife” chief Beecroft said as he joined him and took his seat, Daniel stare at him and sigh
“Dad, are we going to talk about this wife stuff again, am really tired” he said
“I won’t stop pestering you until you give me what I want, am no growing any younger, I’d love to see my grandkids before I go”

“Yes, it about your dad, and what he’s been asking of you all this while”
“Big mommy please, if it’s about getting a wife, am trying, I can’t just marry any lady”
“I Know, but you are not making plans towards it, that why he’s worried”
“Am working on it” he said focusing on the system, he know for sure she would convince him, he wasn’t ready for marriage, but none of them would hear of that
“You should, you don’t even have any woman in your life, please, do your father’s wish and give him grandchildren”
“Have heard you”

Kenneth had just got back from school, he looks so exhausted and hungry, he drop his school bag on the only old chair in their room and went straight to the kitchen but found nothing except cassava powder (garri) which his elder sister had kept for him. He didn’t bother to look for sugar because he know there was none as he drank it without complain. Julia and his younger brother Kenneth had lost their parents few years ago. Their father died on his way back from his shop as a carpenter and his wife joined him few months later. The two had been feeding from hand to mouth since then. Julia was a secondary school dropout because there was no money to continue, she decided to do work and since she couldn’t finish, she would sponsor her brother in school with the little money she gets in selling recharge cards and soft drinks. Kenneth finished eating and washed the plates they use to eat that morning. He was busy with his assignments when Julia came back home
“Welcome sister” he greeted
“Thank you, how was school today” she asked seating down on the worn out mattress “It was fine, sister we’ve started paying for our Weac and neco exams”
“Really, so fast, I thought it next term”
“No o, infact, almost all my friends have paid” he said sadly
“Ken, you are not your friends, their parents can afford it but you can’t, am trying my best, and I will make sure you write that exam no matter what it may cost me”
“Maybe I should start Hawking”
“No way, you will never hawk, remember mom doesn’t want it, so, you will not”
“Fine I agree, what are we going to do now, dead line is next week Friday, how are we going to get fourty five thousand before then” he asked
“Ken, God will make a way” she assured. There was a knock on the door and Kenneth went to check who was there and came facing papa Tega, their landlord
“Good evening sir” he greeted
“And what’s so good about the evening”
“Papa Tega, go.. good evening” Julia murmured, she knows what he came for and he was someone who doesn’t joke around on issues consigning money
“Save your greetings to yourself, where’s my money” he yelled
“Em…emm..I..I….

“Well, I don’t have much to say, I give you till this weekend if I come here on Saturday and you don’t give me my money, you sure know what I can do” he said and went out and Kenneth closed the door
“What are we going to do now, sister, I don’t want to start living under the bridge”
“No we are not going to do that, I need to do something, this man’s threat are not empty”
She sat down lost in thought, thinking of what to do
“Sister is that not provisions”
