"Matthew is coming?" Nishola asked.

"Yes" Damien replied as he picked his black jacket.

"Tofunmi, Matthew" Nishola called as she stepped out of the room.

She was wearing a black trouser suits and black heels.

"Mom, Matthew wants to wear a black jalamai" Tofunmi said glaring at her elder brother.

"What's your business little monkey? At least I'm wearing black" Matthew retorted.

"Mom! He's just called me a monkey!" Tofunmi shrieked in horror.

"Baby, don't mind him okay, let's get going" Nishola said as  she led the seven year old and five year old outside.

"You are wearing my black boots!" Matthew said aloud.

"I washed mine yesterday and it didn't dry, so I borrowed yours" Tofunmi replied with a pout.

"That's untouchable! Why didn't you ask me?" Matthew asked angry.

Nishola rubbed her forehead. This children were going to give her high blood pressure.

"Guys, Matt, leave your sister alone. We'll get you a new boot when we get back okay?" Damien said.

"Yes dad" Matthew said.

"You won't get ms anyone too, I want new boots and a new doll house" Tofunmi said as Matthew rolled his eyes.

"We'll get you whatever you want, just get into the car" Damien said calmly.

Damien opened the door of the Lexus Jeep as the kids jumped inside.

Nishola sighed "Thank you" Nishola said as Damien wore an amused smile.

"You should take a break yunno" Damien said as pulled Nishola nearer and placed his mouth on hers.

Nishola wrapped her hands around Damien's waist as she kissed him back hungrily. Even after eight years of marriage, she still carved for Damien's kiss like no other.

Damien broke the kiss as he smirked at his wife "We'll be late" Damien whispered.

Lust danced in Nishola's eyes as she groaned and pouted. Damien opened the passenger door for her and Nishola got in. Damien walked to the other side before starting the car.

Matthew had gone abroad after secondary school. On every anniversary of Tofunmi, they had always met a bouquet of flowers on her grave.

Damien had also gone abroad to The Texillian American University to study Medicine and Surgery and a year after, Nishola joined him also studying medicine and surgery.

Nishola had focused most of her research on leukamia. Although a cure couldn't be found, improved drugs were produced.

Yanmife attended University of Ibadan and studied Nursing. Joel studied Petroleum engineering at Federal University of Technology, MINNA. He later studied Business management as his father asked him to take over the company.

Damien and Nishola got married one year their graduation. They had a baby boy the following year. Joel and Yanmife met crisis in their relationship and they broke up.

Three years latee, Yanmife went to look for Joel at his company and now they were married and had a four year old daughter.

Today was Tofunmi's fifteenth year anniversary. Damien drove into the private cemetery. Another Lexus jeep and a Mustubi Jeep was already parked in the car park.

"Aunty Mife, Uncle Joel!" Matthew yelled as soon as he got down.

"Grandma! Grandpa!" Tofunmi said as she ran with he'd small legs towards Mr and Mrs Osanyibi.

"You guys are late" Joel said as he hugged Damien and Nishola.

"They are giving Ni serious problem" Damien said laughing as he hugged Yanmife.

"The baby is kicking?" Damien asked and Yanmife smiled.

Everyone sat down and talked as they dropped their flowers.

"Didn't Matthew say he was coming?" Joel asked.

Damien nodded as a tall shadow loomed over them.

"Matthew!" Nishola called out while the other gave her a breathtaking smile. Matthew looked very different. He was also clad in black suit as he dripped his flowers and greeted everyone.

"You are Uncle Matthew?" Matthew asked.

"Yes" Matthew said.

"Mom named me after you" Matthew said with a big smile.

"I know, you look like me a little" Matthew teased as small Matthew grinned.

"How's life in Madagascar?" Joel asked.

"All fine" Matthew replied "I missed you guys" Matthew added.

"It was you who ran away" Yanmife said softly.

"I'm moving back to Nigeria" Matthew said.

"Really?" Nishola asked.

"Yeah" Matthew replied.

"You look like a monkey" Matthew said to Aanuolwa.

"You look like a baboon" Aanuoluwa replied hissing loudly.

"Who looks like a monkey?" Matthew flared up.

"What's your problem? You just called me a monkey, I didn't get angry and I called you a baboon too, why are you flaring up?" Aanu asked while Tofunmi rolled in laughter.

"Two ugly monkeys" Matthew said clenching his teeth.

"Baboons are uglier than monkeys" Aanu replied.

The adults burst into laughter as Matthew turned red.

"Mom, can we stay with grandma and grandpa for a while?" Tofunmi asked.

"Of course, sure" Nishola replied sighing in her heart.

Damien burst into laughter as he turned to Matthew.

"You still won't let go and find someone else?" Damien asked.

"Its been fifteen years Matthew, she did tell you to live your life" Joel added.

Everyone turned to Matthew as Matthew smiled widely. Matthew opened his mouth to talk as his phone rang. He wore a frown as he noticed it was unknown number.

Matthew brought the phone to his ears.

"Hello" Matthew said.

"Hello Matthew" a feminine voice replied.

"Who's this?" Matthew asked.

"Its Funke, I heard you were back in Nigeria, do you have time for lunch?" Funke asked.

Matthew wore an amused smile as he glanced at the faces staring at him.

"Sure" Matthew replied.
