The Proposal - Amaka

Gentle, handsome and young are the first things you see when you look at him. He is a friend like none other, with a large heart and godly character. True love actually does exist when you have a man like Nonso.

In the month of February, I was all by myself in my office, with lots of work-load when Nonso walked in and asked why I was looking so serious and unhappy. I responded by asking him jokingly, “what exactly do you want”?  and his response was “it’s a beautiful morning and I thought to just pop in, say ‘hello’ and leave but you look like you need some care. So, what’s your plan for Thursday night, can we hangout”? I nodded as usual and wasn’t really expecting anything as we’ve had several dates and outings as platonic friends. However, I observed he wanted this date more than ever, and that got me thinking…

Dinner was over and it looked like every other dinner or lunch we’ve had together, full of fun and laughter. I thanked Nonso so much for his thoughtfulness, saying “You care and love genuinely and your qualities are rare. You’re always ready to help anyone, and you’re a proof that godly men still exist out there. Thank you for the unique friendship we share, God bless you…”

Nonso didn’t wait for me to land before he started his own story (lol). He said “Amaka, I’ve known you for about 7 years now as a friend and someone I could tell anything. I’ve come to enjoy true friendship and sincerity. I love you effortlessly. Everything about me loves you and I know you love me too, so let’s make something out of this; will you marry me? I was dazed (cos that was so unexpected), so I asked for time to ponder over it. Weeks later, I said “YES” to his proposal, and he kicked off the marriage plans immediately.
