Him: Will you marry me?
She: You are not serious, we are both looking for a job and you are proposing, do you think marriage is a joke?
He got a job.
Him: Will you marry me now?
She: So we will marry and be walking everywhere in the same attire on weekends, get a car joor!
He got a car.
Him: Will you marry me now?
She: So we will marry and be sharing that same 2 bedroom flat with your younger brother.
Noooooo.
I will like to have my own space. You need to get your own apartment and furnish it, make sure it is three bedroom. One room for guests
He got a three bedroom apartment.
Will you marry me now?
Can anybody make a move without God? I am praying about it.
It will help if you will ask my parents for consent to seek my hand in marriage so that I can be sure of your intentions.
He goes to her home, meets her family, they had dinner together and he asked for the permission.
Her mother said: It is up to her
Her father said: Go ahead and ask her
Him: Will you marry me now?
She: Why are you rushing me, I have things to do. I want to do my masters in the UK
Him: We have been friends for two years, your family regards me as a son and mine regard you as a daughter. It seems inevitable that we will get married. How else am I to convince you I love you and will like to marry you as soon as possible
Her: I think we need so time apart
Next day she left home for her elder brother's house
He was devastated
His younger brother comes around and said, there is a babe in my office. If I am not engaged, I would have joyfully propose to her. This is her phone number. She is very intelligent. Chat with her
He sends her a line
She responds
He sends another
She responds
They chat all day and all night
Became fast friends but didn't meet face to face for three months
She wanted to see him but he sees her as a buffer keeping him sane until the love of his life comes to her senses
They meet.
He liked who she is
He liked what she represents
He liked her candour
It didn't help that she is the opposite of the lady on self imposed exile
She is encouraging, homely, doesn't complain, is very generous, helpful, doesn't fuss about domestic stuff, a wife...
She lives with her parents
Her office is very far from home
She spends hours in traffic everyday
He offered her his guest room
Just for weekdays
She goes home for the weekend
Well...
The "love of his life returned from exile", saw the whole house had a feminine touch
Saw food in the freezer. Saw the house neat, tidy and we'll organised

Said: Is it the tenant in your guest room that has turned herself into a housegirl for you? I thought you said she is gainfully employed. Some people are just desperate in this world

He felt hurt by her words
Next Saturday, tenant told him her parents will like to meet the person she is staying with.
He said ok.
She said Please don't come empty handed. Come with a basket of fruits. My parents will appreciate it.
He said ok.
He bought a basket of fruits
Went to her house with a friend
Her parents welcomed him with open arms
He and his friend ate amala and ewedu plus Ogunfe
He went to the car and brought in the basket of fruits
Her mother jumped
Her father jumped
They started praying
"MAY YOU HAVE MALE AND FEMALE CHILDREN IN JESUS NAME"
Hew was confused
Her mother said "These fruits are a clear indication of your good intentions towards our daughter. You have behaved like a proper Yoruba boy. We will consult with our people and give you an date your parents can come and meet with us. This is a day of joy
He felt happy
He knew he didn't plan to propose
But well...
He and his friend got home
The love of his life was waiting by the entrance
She: Where were you? I have called you several times
Him: I was driving
Friend: We went to do his introduction
She faints
Him: Why did you tell her that
Friend: it is better to tell the truth once and for all
She after fanning her and pouring water on her an head revives.
She: Tell me it is not true
Him: Silent
Friend: Looks away
She: You men are wicked. After all these years. She cries and left
He married the tenant.
She was in the hospital for many months after. She really fell ill.
He wondered why she was forming when she really loves him that much.

This is is a real story

Both of them are happily married.

He married "tenant"in 2010
She married in 2018
The irony is
- She never went to the UK
1) The guy she married is still searching for a job
2) Moved in with her into her own 2 bedroom apartment in Mowe, Ogun state
3) Drives her car
