Mo knew everything going on in kachi’s life, from the time she had a serious crush on the head of the college band to the time her boyfriend tried to have sex with her forcefully. Mo also knew that Kachi was not happy in her relationship despite remaining it.
Mo’s phone beeped, she guessed it was kachi again , what was she up to this time… “I still love him…what do I do? How do I get over him?”the message read..

Mo was not surprised or confused, she knew who kachi was referring to , it wasnt her boyfriend James ......Mo knew she had to come up with a fantastic idea to help her friend once and for all.

It had been 4 years and kachi still had strong feelings for Ben, the head of the college band.
Mo remembered how kachi will make her walk with her to Ben’s faculty just to watch him sing. Ben hardly ever noticed, he just knew Kachi was a student and a regular spectator.

Kachi had nursed her feelings for Ben till graduation , she couldnt face him to tell him and sadly she still held on to the feelings despite her other relationships.

Mo’s advice and admonitions on getting over Ben and letting him go kept falling on deaf ears.
Mo knew she had to do something effective fast before the issue got out of hand. Her friend had been unable to have a successful relationship for years and it was all because she compared them with Ben.

Ben was who she wanted and Mo decided to help her get Ben. She replied Kachi’s text that she knew what to do and she was going to help.
Kachi wanted to know how, but Mo told her not to bother.

On ending her chat with Kachi, Mo made her call to Ali. Ali was Mo’s friend and he had been in the band with Ben, she knew he would have an idea of Ben’s whereabouts.

“babe…how are you? ….Ben? …. Whats up? Any problem? Oh…okay I will send you his phone number.. he is still in town definitely.. if you want I could organize a meet up… oh…okay I will send the phone number…. Alright…take care…’

Mo sighed… she didn’t know she could lie fluently.. things we do for friendship, she thought....

Few days after, Mo was on her way to meet Ben. They had been talking on phone for days and it seemed to Mo that Ben was not as difficult to approach as he had appeared in college. She found herself comparing him with the many men she had met personally and she realized that she actually liked him.

But then this was for her friend kachi so.. She had to shake off the feeling and be a friend indeed. Mo had called kachi to meet her at the restaurant where she would be meeting Ben, she wanted to surprise both Ben and kachi. She had once asked Ben while they talked if he remembered her friend Kachi and he did. What she had failed to add was that Kachi loved him.

On getting to the restaurant, she sighted kachi and they both walked in to look for Ben. Inside the restaurant, Mo got the biggest surprise of her life…tall and beautiful ladies stood in a line before her and wore t- shirts which had on it ‘Marry me Mo’ . A band was playing in the underground singing her name and Ben came out of nowhere kneeling in front of her with a little box …a ring!!

This was the fairytale kind of proposal Mo had dreamt and wished for secretly but this was not happening...... not when kachi was her best friend and she was only trying to help… She looked at kachi shocked and began to search for words to express herself...but before she could say anything..Kachi fainted....
