Chuks was a man
so handsome that I couldn’t resist his proposal, the day he asked me to marry
him. We had known each other just for a few months but it was as if I would die
if he had refused to say, “Would you be my wife?” I dreaded his departure for
another woman's alms and so I did all I could to lure him to say those words that
slit a fairly expensive engagement ring on my left middle finger. It was beside
the pool at Agodi gardens, Ibadan. It caught me unaware, though I had been the
one stimulating him, I never expected it to occur at one of the most beautiful
places I loved.
I had heard my
friends discuss how they all got their surprise proposals – most were in
eateries while few were at shopping mall. Guys can be crazy, you know? However,
where I got proposed to by Chuks added a feather to my hat when I shared the
gist with my friends. I bet they all envied me. Some even wished they had not
got proposed to, so they could choose places, but I doubt if there are guys that
tell when or where to their ladies. Don’t mind my friends; they could be funny
at times. I loved Chuks, his height, seductive smiles and the fact that no girl
would see him once and never look again.
