FEHINTOLA.

10:30pm

“Put it there!” I exclaimed with a small laugh, straightening behind the camera to get a better view.

“Put it where exactly? Here?” Dami shot back, standing on a ladder as he tried to hang tinsel on the street pole. He glanced down at me, mock exasperation in his voice. I shook my head with a grin and walked over, abandoning the tripod.

“Here, olodo,” I teased, pointing at the spot just above his shoulder. He chuckled as we shared a quick laugh.

“Why didn’t you just say that before?, see the way you too were pointing, like a chicken” he teased in return and we laughed again. I handed him the remaining tinsel, and he carefully hung it up.

“Good?” he asked, looking down at me for approval. I stepped back, hands on my hips, and examined the setup.

“Perfect!” I said with a wide smile.

“Perfect, huh?” he mused, climbing down the ladder carefully. Once his feet touched the ground, he stepped back and looked around with a satisfied smile.

“Wow! It looks even bette

    EPILOGUE FEHINTOLAEIGHT YEARS LATER “Babe, Anu is on her way are the kids ready?!” I called out to my husband as I walked out of the kitchen. “Yeahhh, we’re coming,” he responded and I heard them running down the staircase almost immediately. It’s been eight years of pure bliss, living with the love of my life as husband and wife. We had two children, twins actually, they’re six years old. A girl; Adeoluwakiishi meaning the crown of God cannot be removed and a Boy Adeoluwakiitan meaning The reign of God cannot end. They were a handful most of the times but they were perfect. I went back to writing and I have my own thriving media and publishing company here in Nigeria. We are mainly into children books but in recent times we’ve been deviating more into books for the youth too, of diverse genre and we were doing absolutely well.Dami’s winery has become the biggest supplier of Nigerian made wine in the country, he had even established branches in some other countries in Africa,

    FEHINTOLA NEXT DAY 26th December, 12:00pm “Hmm,” I groaned as I turned in bed. I turned and laid facing down. My body ached all over from all the work and partying from yesterday, I reached out for my phone and turned it on. Twelve o’clock, I’m lowkey pissed I’m awake right now, I didn’t sleep until past six this morning and I promised myself I was going to wake up by six in the evening, so tell me why I’m awake now. I let my phone fall back on the bed as I adjusted myself well to pick up my sleeping journey from where I stopped. But just before I could do that, the door went open and I heard Dami’s voice. “Is my sleeping beauty still asleep,” “Yes,” I groaned in reply, my eyes barely opened.“I brought you breakfast,” he said as soon as he got to the bed. I turned to lay on my side and looked up at him, making sure not to open my eyes fully, so I can find it easy to sleep back.“I want to sleep,” I mumbled. He chuckled lightly as he set the tray on the table beside the bed and

    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 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

    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
