FEHINTOLA

4:30pm

“Just because I let Anjola stay back, don’t think I don’t know what I’m doing,” My father said to me over the phone, I sighed deeply and slowly reclined in the car seat,

“I give you one extra week, to get this done,” he added. I exhaled deeply and nodded slowly like he could see me.

“O gbo Abi o daun” (you hear me or you chose not to answer) his voice came sharply.

“I’ve heard sir,”

“Good!” He muttered in reply and with that he ended the call.

“You are on the fastest route, you will get to your destination in five minutes,” The GPS automated voice announced, I stared down at my watch, honestly I didn’t want to go to the town square because I am avoiding Dami but Ayo had texted me earlier, to not stay home alone if I got back early, I decided to go. He said they were going to start early today because they wanted finish early.

“Ohh perfect, perfect!”

“Welcome Fehintola,” I heard the host say from the stage as I walked into the town square, my head whipped up imm

    FEHINTOLA Next Morning.20th December.I grabbed the door knob of Ayo’s room and gently pushed it open, peeping through. He was standing and basically just looking through the picture frames of him as a small boy on the wall. “Come in if you want to come in Fehintii,” he said, his back still facing me.“Ohh,” I whispered as I slowly let go of the door and walked in. “You know, mummy and daddy made sure no one came into this room except to clean. They strongly believed they would find you,” I said softly behind him.He turned to me with a small smile on his face and nodded slowly.“I can see that,” he whispered. I exhaled deeply and dropped my hands to the side. “You must hate me now,” I said. His eyes dimmed and he tilted his head to the side.“Hate you? Why would you say that?”“I mean. I’ve always used my own to disturb you. You went missing before because of me and you might loose Dami and the winery because of me again,” he chuckled lightly as he stepped closer to me and took

    FEHINTOLA6:00pm “Let us all eat and be merry!”“My son, the one who has been missing for over twenty years, has finally returned!” my father boomed, his voice filled with triumph as he pushed the great doors wide open.I blinked, taking in the elaborate decorations. What?! When had they even planned all this? Then again, knowing my father, this wasn’t beyond him.A feast, a celebration, a welcome home… all for Ayo. Yet, when I returned, nothing. Not even half of this. Show me my place without telling me. I shook my head, slinging my bag over my shoulder as I turned toward my room. “Don’t make me send for you before you come back down!” my father called after me.“Son,” his voice softened as he turned back to Ayo, “I’ve had new clothes prepared for you. Change into them and come down for dinner.” The excitement in his rang clear as day.---“I’m sorry for letting you suffer so long. Looking back, I should have searched harder, searched better.”Ayo set down his spoon and met his

    FEHINTOLA“What do you mean how did they find you? They’re my parents, Ayo. They came here for me,” I said quickly, my voice sharper than I intended. Even though I knew exactly where this was headed. From their reactions it was clear. Ayo turned slowly, his eyes filled with expressions I couldn’t quite understand.“Five days ago,” he began, his tone low but steady, “Anu slipped and told me the real reason you’re here.”The words slammed into me. My hands fell uselessly to my sides as I staggered back, both disbelief and washing over me.“I always knew a big company was trying to buy us out,” he continued, “but I never cared much for the details. We weren’t interested.” He drew in a breath, his jaw tightening. “Then when she told me, I ran a background check on the Banks family. Everything… came back to me.”Dami rushed forward at once, gripping Ayo’s shoulders, shaking him desperately.“What are you talking about?” Dami’s voice trembled, like he was one word away from crying. Ayo

We stood outside behind tge production area as we just watched the workers do their thing.His words sounded like he was disappointed and I felt it pressing against my own chest tightly. Slowly, I moved closer, slipping my arms around his waist, offering the only solace I could at that moment. “Have you lost hope?” I asked gently, my voice barely above a whisper. “Has God ever failed you before?” Dami turned to face me, his tired eyes meeting mine. He shook his head and let out a heavy sigh. “No, He hasn’t,” he admitted, his voice tinged with exhaustion. “But in times like this, it’s hard to keep believing… to hold on to hope. I cannot help but panic”“The landlord is not taking it easy with me and honestly I need to get my own bigger space,”“It’s not just about bigger space too, will I just get a bigger s

    FEHINTOLA NEXT DAY.Sunday 8th December.My eyes fluttered open slowly, the throbbing pain in my head intensifying with each passing second. I let out a soft groan and pushed myself into a sitting position, cradling my head in my hands. My fingers massaged my temples as I stretched and reached for my phone on the bedside table. The bright screen lit up, displaying the time: 6:30 a.m. A message from my mother awaited me. Without hesitation, I clicked it open. -Would you be able to come to our church today? We’re having a special thanksgiving service, and I’d like you to be there. I’ve already sent out clothes in case you’d be available,- the text read. I sighed, releasing a stiff yawn as I rubbed my face. So now she wanted me to show up at her church, without any prior notice? Typical. Like I don’t have a life of my own and when they say something I’m just supposed to swing into action. Shaking my head, I swung my legs off the bed and made my way toward the kitchen. My feet felt
