I woke up this morning with a slight

got out of bed reluctantly, hoping the cold would go away slowly.

Then he came just as I was about
preparing my favorite beans and Plantain. I wasn’t too cheerful, cos I had a
lot on my head, but I was hopeful that at the end of today I would be grateful.
I had my meal to cook, my mails to reply, my articles to write, and some books
to finish before tomorrow. He stood before me and spoke calmly like he always
does. I didn’t look at his cute face but stole some glances wisely to fill my
hungry stomach.

He fumbled with his keys as he
spoke, saying familiar words with an unusual spark. Hmmmm! I sensed, this guy
needed my attention dearly, but the plantain and onions I was slicing also
needed my attention badly. Then I felt his palm on my wet hands; I looked up to

him say ‘AJ would you do me the honor of marrying me?’…. Like seriously! I
thought aloud…I never baf sef…is this an early morning proposal? I dropped the
onion I was cutting and asked….’Do I have time to think?’. Think wetin? you may
ask!

But I sincerely needed time to think

he pictures of my reminisce made me
smile. I even envisaged our engagement: romantic, glamorous dinner setting,
with an orchestral playing in the background (fairy tale). I never knew it was
going to be this morning, spontaneous, funny and even more romantic than any
