LATER THAT DAY, 8:30pm

“I see you’re still posting, the social media engagements are low. I don’t even have any more words of encouragement to say to Dami at this point,” Anu said to me over video call with a tired exhale.

“We’ve never had to rely so much on social media orders to sponsor our Christmas events, this year has really just been a whole lot.”

“Dami has been working himself overtime, he literally doesn’t talk to anyone the entire day, then suddenly in the evenings he’s laughing with the women like nothing is going on,”

“I’m actually scared for him,” she said to me. I sighed and laid back on my bed. Ofcourse Dami has switched back to “figuring everything on my own” mode.

“Well, for what it’s worth. My father has decided to not interfere with the winery again,” I said. Her eyes widened as she got up to her feet immediately.

“What? For real?!” She asked and I nodded.

“Yeah. He even promised to speak to a few friends concerning the Christmas sales, I already told

    DAMILAREI held my breath the moment I saw her, she was putting on a red sleeveless, scalloped neckline Asooke gown that stopped way above her knees, with a floral pattern highlighted with black and red beads, the red beads for the vines and the black for the leaves. Her braids was neatly packed into a ponytail, with a lot of curl falling from it. I’m blown away, she looked absolutely gorgeous, it felt like I was seeing her for the first time and I fell in love with her all over again. “You wore it,” she purrred softly, and it didn’t even occur to me that she had gotten to my front. I shook lightly as I inhaled and slowly tucked my hands into my pocket.“You didn’t have to come,” I mumbled. Through the corner of my eyes I could see Ayo’s mouth drop open in shock. Whatever. I miss her but ofcourse I wasn’t about to make that obvious. Her expression dropped and she stepped closer to me. “Dami, I’m sorry” “Trust me, I had no idea you were the business owner my father was sending me t

    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.

    FEHINTOLATwelve Days Later.19th December 2024.At the Winery. “I know orders are coming in, but… this won’t quite cut it,” Dami muttered, his voice low with frustration. 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
