Olamide was standing on the stage, trying to see the face of the girl entering through the gate but he couldn’t see anything clearly.

As soon as Rita reached near the stage, the crowd in front of him moved aside and along with that, the white curtain was also removed.

Olamide had been trying to catch a glimpse of her by moving here and there, was utterly shocked to see Rita as his bride.

He stood frozen in place, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Rita smiled at Olamide and walked closer to the stage but Olamide was completely lost.

He was confused about whether Rita was really standing in front of him or if he had gone so crazy in love that he was seeing Rita in every girl.

Just then, Tunde nudged him slightly.

But instead of inviting Rita onto the stage, Olamide looked at Tunde, moved a little closer to him and whispered in his ear,

“Brother, do you also see Rita here or am I losing my mind?”

Hearing this, Tunde pinched him hard.

Olamide looked at Tunde angrily and Tunde laughed, saying,

“Snap out of it, my brother. This is your Rita, your soon-to-be wife.”

Hearing Tunde’s words, the people standing around started laughing but Olamide kept looking only at Rita.

He couldn’t understand what was happening. Rita understood what was going on in his mind. She slowly stepped onto the stage and stood in front of Olamide,

“You told me to marry you, right? So here I am, forever yours.”

“Are you joking?” Olamide was shocked.

Kunle interrupted and told him, “Oh dear, why would she joke about such a serious matter in front of thousands of people?”

“But Father, you said that I was getting married to your friend’s daughter…”

“Oh, so am I not your Father’s friend?” Daniel, who had been standing behind, stepped forward and said.

Seeing him, Olamide became even more confused.

Everyone around him understood his condition. Rita held his hand and said,

“I know everything now—why you stayed away from me and why you didn’t want to be with me.”

“But how did you…” Olamide asked.

“Rita found out the whole truth when we were in Egypt.” Tunde said to him.

“What do you mean?” Olamide was confused a lot.

“I mean that…”

Tunde tells him everything that happened in Egypt, from there to the engagement and Rita’s plan… everything…

“So much happened, and no one told me anything?? And Tunde, you hid it from me too?” Olamide glared at him.

But Rita scolded him, “Oh really? And did you tell me everything?? You bore everything alone but didn’t even think it was necessary to tell me once??”

“Sorry brother, please forgive me. But Rita didn’t want anyone to tell you. She planned everything for you, from your wedding suit to the engagement theme, just to surprise you.” Tunde said.

“If anyone needs to apologize, it’s me.” Daniel walks up to Olamide and folds his hands before him, “Forgive me, son. I made a huge mistake… I misunderstood you badly but please forgive me.”

“Rita, I’m sorry for the mistake. I apologize.”

But Olamide immediately holds his hands and stops him from apologizing,

“No, Uncle. What you did was for your daughter’s better future. I am not upset with you.

I just want to say that even though I may not have a lot of money, I will surely give Rita all the happiness in the world that she deserves.”

At this moment, the atmosphere became very emotional.

To lighten the mood, Aisha stepped forward and said, “Oh, come on! What are you all doing? Today is such a beautiful day. There will be no crying today, only singing and dancing because it’s our son’s engagement today!”

Hearing Aisha’s words, everyone started smiling.

Olamide held Rita’s hand tightly and then softly said to her,

“I will never let you go away from me again.”

“Oh really? And what if I run away?”

“Than I will tie you to a miller of this

“Then I will tie you to a pillar of this house right now so that you can never run away, got it?”

“Oh, big talker! Weren’t you the one who ran away and left me?”

“Oh really? And who was the one who left me and ran off to London?”

“Well… If you keep shouting and telling me to leave, then of course I will run away.”

“Look..”

“Oh, that’s enough, you two! You can fight later; you both have plenty of time for that. Focus here for now” Aisha scolds them.

Just then, the priest announces that the auspicious time for the engagement has come.

Gold steps forward with the rings and places them on the table in front of them.

“Hello, hello… Attention, please! Thank you so much all of you for coming to my dearest brother and my beautiful sister-in-law’s engagement and sharing their happiness… But we can’t let this special day pass by so simply, right? So, let’s have a romantic dance between my dear brother and sister-in-law…”

Bukola takes everyone else off the stage, leaving only Olamide and Rita and romantic background music starts playing.

Olamide places his hand on Rita’s waist and both move closer to each other as they begin their couple dance.

They were feeling the song with their hearts, lost in each other’s eyes, forgetting the world around them.

And why wouldn’t they? After so many difficulties, after so many years, the distance between them had finally ended and soon, they were going to tie the sacred bond they had dreamed of since childhood.

Gradually, the other couples also started dancing near the stage with their partners.

Kunle, in a very romantic manner, asked Aisha for a dance.

Aisha felt very shy but couldn’t refuse. Seeing them so happy together even at this age made Tunde, Olamide, Gold and Rita very happy.

Everyone was enjoying the dance.

While dancing, Olamide and Rita’s eyes fell on Tunde and Gold, who were standing far away.

They signaled to Bukola and she immediately understood.

Bukola pushed Tunde and Gold towards the stage for a dance and then left them at the center.

Before Tunde and Gold could understand anything, they had already reached the stage in the middle of everyone.

Gold turned to leave but Tunde held her hand and stopped her.

Both were listening to the lyrics of the song and feeling them deeply.

Tunde looked into her eyes and pulled her into his arms.

Slowl,they started dancing to the tune of the song. Along with dancing, Tunde was softly singing the song and only Gold could hear him.
