For the first time in my life after many years since my ex-boyfriend whom I truly loved with my life broke up with me, I met the most handsome man in the entire universe. We met in an usual way but it was beautiful. His name is Stephen. He is a good guy from a very well off home. He has been searching for someone for years. What most girls wanted from him is his money. We met at a neighbour’s birthday party in Abuja. He was one of the hosts at the occasion. He swapped with one of the hired waiters for the sake of appearing simple and worked as a waiter on that day. When it was time for serving food and drinks, he approached my table in the waiter’s dress with food and some drinks on a tray. He served me as if I were the special guest. A few minutes later, it was time for dancing. He appeared from nowhere again and stretched his left hand towards me. At first, I was startled at the thought that a waiter could dare ask me for a dance. But then i remembered he was so nice in serving me and so i decided to dance with him anyway.
I grabbed his hand and then everything that happened then was like an ignited firewood. Attention was on us as if we were celebrities. At the end of the party, we both knew a few things about each other but my mind wasn’t with him. He’s just a waiter anyway. Unfortunately, we did not exchange contacts that day. However, two weeks after, I received a call and it was Stephen. He asked me out on a date and I agreed without a pause because I could not erase thoughts of him and that night from my head. We went to a small Chinese restaurant in Abuja and the rest is history.
He proposed to me. Such a gentleman. He knelt down on one knee, and when I said yes, he placed the diamond ring on my left middle finger. I said yes even though I barely know him but right there at that moment, it felt as if I had known him for decades. I asked him a simple question, why me? He said he has done his assignment on me from the day we first met at the birthday party till that very moment. He then revealed his true identity to me. He explained how ladies has exploited, used and left him. I guess it was just my luck. Stephen and I are getting married in two months time. Yes, two months time.
Finally, I currently work as a freelancer and I do a couple of other businesses in addition. I literally became the mother of my remaining siblings. I provide their needs as well. I built a house and bought two cars for my mum. I pay close attention to Kelvin, my deceased sister’s son. I currently live in my own house. My success story has been a journey but it truly started the day I met Stephen. I often take care of my mum, siblings and my sister’s son and I’m happy about it.
