Marriage Proposal - Episode 1
The First Attempt
"For every long lost road I went, led me to where you are. Others
who broke my heart, were like the northern stars, guiding me on my
way, in to your loving arms. This much I know is true and I pray
that God bless the broken roads that led me straight to you. Please
be my bride."
These were the exact words of Uche as he bent down with a knee
and brought out the diamond ring out proposing to Mary. These
happened in a restaurant at around past 8pm. Uche had planned it
all out in such a way that he had his best friend Kunle there and
three of Mary's friend to spice up the whole scene.
" Awnn awnn, this is so so lovely" Mary's best friend Loveth said.
"Oh My God, I never knew Uche can be this romantic oh. Mary you
are very lucky." Omoye, one of Mary's friend there said.
"Please Mary, say yes oh yes, yes" Titi, Mary's last friend said as
she gesticulated with her hands and smiled.
The atmosphere became tensed with love. Other customers who
were in the restaurant had soon join them and the place became
crowded and filled with expectant onlookers. A couple in the crowd
even held their hands, as they blushed and prayed that she
accepts.
All of these had happened within a few seconds from Uche's first
statement. Love indeed spreads like wildfire. Everyone had become
expectant of Mary's decision since the ring was still hanging in the
air supported by Uche's hand.
She then couldn't help but blush a little. "This is so so lovely Uche.
The ring, the scene and everything, just beautiful. But am sorry I
can't accept it." She said as her face grew from blush to straight.
" Ah, No nah . Please say yes" One of the onlookers in the crowd
spoke out aloud. At this she walked away quietly from the scene
putting her heads down. The onlookers started to frown as they left
one at a time disappointed.
"Why would she have declined the proposal after 3 years of
relationship? Something must be wrong somewhere." Kunle finally
spoke to Uche his friend. Meanwhile Uche just sat there on the bare
floor devastated.
