Never to look back How can I calm down?
Daniel hired the best team to look into the muddling of his bid affair and yet all they could come up with was ask Daniel if he forgot to add the zeros to his bid. “SCRAM….” Daniel bellowed as he kicked everyone out. He flung everything on the desk to the ground as he cursed “Such incompetence… why do I need such waste?” “Boss, calm down.” George who was standing plastered to the wall spoke in a low whisper after standing quietly for a while till Daniel vented his anger. Daniel sat back in seat, threading his hair with his fingers in frustration “How can I calm down?” “If it was just the loss of a bid, that would have been fine. We can come up with something …. But what about the face we lost?” “The PR department is working on it.” George sighed “Boss, this is a minor set-back but if we lose hope, that will cause irreparable loss.” “Go… get me coffee.” Daniel exhaled as he tried to calm his mind and picked up his laptop that was previously thrown on the ground in a fit of anger a

Chris Jnr and little Emm had decorated the house with the help of Marcus and their cousins to welcome Emile back home after being discharged from the hospital. “Wow…. Looks like mommy entered fairyland.” Emile clapped with an excited expression reciprocating little treasures enthusiasm. “Mommy little treasure missed you mostest.” Emm ran up to Emile who had her arms opened and outstretched. She hugged her neck acting coquettishly. “Che! That is not even a word…. “Chris pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. “Is now.” Emm lifted her head arrogantly and decreed like an adult “From now on, mostest is the word that we use to express the meaning that 'most' cannot express.” Her younger cousins all clapped in favour; they were her blind followers. The older ones hesitated for a few seconds as they shifted their gazes between Chris Jnr and Emm; Phillip who was the oldest bend over to whisper in Chris Jnr’s ears “Let’s agree with Emm. If she starts to cry, all our butts will bloom.” Chris J

Chris organized their return trip quietly as he promised his wife. He booked a private lunchroom with a kids play area and invited Grandpa Holston for lunch. Grandpa Holston couldn’t refuse even though he knew that he didn’t have face to face the young couple. Who asked them to have his precious great grandchildren? He could only thicken his skin and shamelessly accept the invite. Grandpa Holston wanted to arrive early as a sign of his apology to the couple, but he was once again defeated by Chris, who was waiting for him at the door to personally welcome him. “You’re here... ha.. ha ...” Grandpa Holston laughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. “The kids and Emile are waiting inside.” Chris smiled amicably without the slightest hint of alienation or resentment. “I forced them to stay inside to avoid the cold. I hope Grandpa Holston won’t blame them.” “What blame?” Grandpa Holston waved his hand dismissively, he let go of the feigned relaxed aura and lowered his head “I have

Finally, the big day that Michelle had awaited all her life arrived. The artists who were arranged for making her the most beautiful bride of the century arrived. She slowly changed into the wedding gown and sat down for the make-up artists to weave their magic. But her mind didn’t have the excitement of fulfilment of a dream but rather the dull ache of killing the last remnant of her soul that dared to dream of true love. She knew that with this step, she would forever deny herself that little bit of self-respect she had and felt helpless inwardly. Daniel wasn’t in any better state. He truly did not want to go ahead with today despite the shame it would bring considering it was truly the eleventh hour. In all honesty, he expected Emile to call him in a panic and beg him not to go ahead with the wedding. Cancelling the wedding for her was going to be his biggest act of redemption and indulgence for her but the call never came. Instead, he did receive gifts with blessings from both t

Daniel walked back to his room in a daze, clutching the USB, hoping with all his might that his guess was not true. He sat at his desk debating whether he should view or not. In the end, his curiosity got the better of him and he powered his laptop. The names of the folders in the USB were dates. Daniel opened the one with the oldest date out of curiosity as this was before his marriage to Emile. The date was closer to the time when he was in the second year of university. The files inside the folder were named intuitively. He opened the one with meeting. Inside the folder was a video file. It was a clip from the surveillance camera of his favourite hangout during his college days ‘Night flower’. This was not just his but also the favourite hangout place for all the youngsters from affluent families. There were six ladies in the room on the screen. He was familiar with the four of them. One of them was Michelle and the other three were Michelle’s close friends during her university

Daniel could guess what the rest of the folders contained, he didn’t know why but he couldn’t stop himself from clicking on them, once again in the chronological order of their name. The next folder contained two videos but both of them were a short file. Daniel clicked on it wondering what could be contained in a 5 min long video. The first one was the video of a meeting between Grandpa Holston and Michelle at a café near the old house. Michelle had arrived early and could be seen to talking to a staff at the counter and giving him a small packet of white powder and a wad of bank notes. Shortly after Grandpa Holston arrived. “Hello Grandpa Holston” Michelle had a very appropriate smile as she stood up to greet him. “Call me Senior Mr Holston. We are not familiar.” Grandpa Holston didn’t have his usual amiable aura but rather the majestic aura of when he ruled the Holson industries single-handedly. “Senior Mr Holston.” Michelle quickly changed her words, her smile only tightened fo

Daniel didn’t know how long he sat still for…. It was only when George came to wake him up for getting ready for his big day, did he realize that he had being sitting like this all night long. He stood up hammering his numb legs for a few minutes before combing his hair with his fingers and opening the door. “Boss, the makeup artists are about to arrive.” George stood dutifully at the door; He frowned as he looked at the sorry state his boss was in. “No need for anyone.” Daniel shook his head tiredly “Pay them and send them off.” “Is Grandpa up yet?” Daniel turned around as an afterthought and asked. “Yes. Senior master is in the pavilion doing his morning routine.” “I will go over.” Daniel didn’t bother to freshen up. He stepped out of the room and spoke without turning back “Bring us a pot of fresh tea.” Daniel’s mind wasn’t as calm as his face; it was churning with thoughts that had no direction. They swirled around like the cyclone, leaving nothing in its path and yet no clea

Daniel walked straight to the south wing where Michelle was getting ready. The house was slowly getting filled with friends and distant relatives who had come to bless the happy occasion. The south wing was the noisiest with all of Michelle’s acquaintances and friends joining in on the fun. Daniel reached the south wing but was denied access to the bride’s room. It was bad luck for the bride and groom to meet before the wedding. The bridesmaids teased and refused to give him access before one of them responded politely “Mr Holston, Michelle is in the middle of getting ready. It won’t be appropriate for you to go in now.” “SCRAM” Daniel roared without giving anyone any face; his temper was on the verge of exploding. Not only was he not in the mood for festivities but the happy vibes were like blatant taunts lashing out at him, mocking him for his stupidity and gullibility. The bridesmaids looked at each other in horror before opening a path for Daniel to enter; once Daniel passed thr

Chris and Emile made their way through the reception hall, toasting guests at each table, in the order of the closeness of their relationship. Adrian, Neil and Night Wing took their roles seriously as they blocked the drinks for Chris. Emile had her supply of fruit tea that Abbey religiously re-filled for her; No one knew why, nor did they think much into it as this was Chris Jnr’s arrangement.Chris and Emile had just reached the table where Grandpa Holston was seated when Chris Jnr slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards them, holding little treasures hand. The rest, along with Bruno in the lead followed with excitement as they knew that the fun Emm mentioned before was about to start.“Thank you for coming and blessing our special day with your presence.” Chris raised the toast towards Ron and the rest; he didn’t even spare Grandpa Holston a glance. It was not in his nature to grin and bear grievances.“It was our pleasure.” Several associates including Ron hurriedly joined

Chris and Emile moved to the cake-cutting event with the reminder from little treasure. Cake cutting had a little twist, contrary to the norm where the bride and groom feed each other with the first cut, Emile fed the piece she took to Little treasure while Chris fed Big treasure before letting the two treasures feed them.Although it wasn’t planned and neither big treasure nor little treasure were ready for the surprise, both husband and wife knew each other’s thoughts the moment they looked at each other; they didn’t need to plan or coordinate for such flawless action. The action from the duo that followed also wasn’t planned nor coordinated, it was their norm, the duo would always feed daddy and mommy with their little hands in reciprocation from when they were old enough to grasp things.While the shadow guards took it upon themselves to deliver cake to each and every individual that attended the reception, Chris and Emile personally hand delivered the ones for family and relatives

Once all the guests were seated comfortably according to their table arrangement leaving the seats in the front vacated for family, Augusta as the coordinator for the wedding, announced the entry of the bride and groom, in all its grandeur while the DJ set the background scores for the romantic entry of the bride and groom.Emile’s favorite symphony floated through the air as she and Chris made their grand entrance, once again wearing a couple set; they had changed out of their traditional wedding attire they wore in the morning to a champagne-colored gown and suit. They walked in, Emile holding onto Chris’s arm with a blissful smile, like a pair of immortals strolling through the mortal realm as they walked through the hall to the center, followed by their little tails also wearing a mini version of their set. The adorable little dolls had their heads held high, a proud smile hanging on their faces as they followed in their parents’ footsteps.The bridal entourage followed behind with

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest and change before the reception banquet, which was also the continuation of the wedding extravaganza with no expense spared. With all the guests housed in Royal Lux, the hotel was closed to outside business, other than the ones that had a pre-booking and couldn’t be changed to another date.“Where’s Christian?” Daniel turned to question Ceilier as soon as he reached their room; It was not that he didn’t notice that Christian wasn’t with them, but the truth of the matter was that he didn’t get a chance till now.“He went off with the Walters.” Ceilier twisted his lips awkwardly as he replied in a low voice.“That bastard…” Daniel gritted his teeth as he muttered under his breath before turning his attention to Emile. He waved his hand, instructing Ceilier to step down before walking up to Emile and taking a seat facing her.“What’s wrong?” Emile asked in concern as she saw Daniel staring at her with knitted brows.“Nothing ….” Daniel shrugged be

“Senior Master Walter, the ride for returning to the hotel is ready.” One of the shadow guards from the team who were assigned to the Walters and Burkes announced as he stood respectably by Adam’s side.“Um…” Adam nodded as he took the treasures and Bruno with him “Lead the way.” Adam walked forward holding Big treasure and Bruno while Elizabeth held little treasure’s hand. No matter how uncomfortable she was, little treasure put on a brave smile and walked forward, as though she was heading for the gallows. Both Adam and Elizabeth feigned ignorance although they were laughing in their heads; she looked too adorable!Adam purposefully left Little treasure to Elizabeth’s care even though he knew that she would be uncomfortable. His intention was well meaning; to give them a chance to get to know each other better. He just didn’t expect the extent of aversion he saw in little treasure’s subtle actions; there was not just aversion but also fear mixed with guilt which Adam never expected;

The groom kissing the bride, captured in the backdrop of the rising sun, was too magical to say the least; Other than the younger generation of the Burke and Walter household who were causing a ruckus by whistling and cheering, all the other guests were mesmerized by the magical moment that was unfolding before their eyes.“Wow! That was so magical.” One of the guests exclaimed as she turned around with a dreamy expression, stretching her hands; no one could despise her excitement as this was the thought in the hearts of most of the people who came to attend the wedding; the finale of the wedding was too mesmerizing for even the most grounded and rationale minds.They would never forget this magical moment for the rest of their lives; the moment they witnessed nature proclaiming the fulfillment of a man’s undying affection and loyalty; the moment they witnessed the groom and his bride finally attaining their happily ever after, despite all the odds that fate had stacked against them.A

“Mommy, you better take care of your man from here on…there's only so much a little girl can do…” Emm’s bell-like voice rang out as she advised seriously forgetting that her mouthpiece was still on “It was hard work, but we got him here for you.”Everyone burst out laughing as they heard the childish reprimand, leading Emm to wince in embarrassment as she hid behind her elder brother biting her tongue.“Uff….uff…” Chris Jnr cleared his throat like a little adult to attract everyone’s attention before he continued “As you have witnessed, our daddy’s journey to his happily ever after has been anything but smooth; whether it was our mommy’s blindness to recognize his unwavering affection and love….”The laughter from the crowd continued while the bride shyly lowered her head, but not without glaring at the flower boy who suddenly became talkative. Emm didn’t have any solidarity with the bride as she covered her mouth and giggled.“or whether it was the judgmental eyes of the world around
Never to look back You could never do what he did…
“You could never do what he did…”“What did you say?” Daniel asked in shock; he had heard what she said even though it was a whisper; he just didn’t want to believe it. He didn’t want to believe that Emile had recovered her memory. If she didn’t why would she say that?“How can you arrange so many hot air balloons? Such an extravaganza wedding would need the coffers of the king opened.” Emile giggled as she turned around to face him.Daniel stared at her face for a long time trying to make sense, trying to discern if what she said was purely based on the wedding arrangement or whether there was a hidden meaning in them. But before he could process this line of thought, the ceremonial bells rang leading everyone to take a closer look at the hot-air ballon in the center. Although it was one that could hold 35 people, there were currently only about 25 people including the celebrant and his assistant.“That is actually a priest not a celebrant.” One of the guests in Daniel’s basket, who h

Almost all the guests in the hotel woke up in the wee hours of the morning as they had all arrived to participate in the youngest Walter’s wedding. All of them without exception were filled with excitement regardless of the reason for their excitement.No one knew the exact location of the venue, as other than the name, Church in the Sky, Mossel Bay, there were no details of how to get to the venue. All they knew or were told when they asked for location details was that transportation for them to be taken to the venue was arranged for everyone attending the wedding.Cars were lined up one behind the other, at the hotel entrance, picking up the guests as they arrived at the entrance and heading for the venue. Daniel, Emile and Christian lined up at the back of the line as they arrived.“What are you looking for?” Emile asked in confusion as she saw Daniel looking around.“Grandpa is here too. I was looking to see if he was around.” Daniel shrugged “He could come in the same car as us.
