From anxiety to disappointment to anger to joy and finally an eternal ecstasy...#FolaDeji2016 #TheProposal
Fatigued after a long day of usual flight delay and all… she couldn’t
wait to get to Lagos … she had imagined a long weekend full of fun… but
first of all with bae waiting at the airport to pick her up and sweetly
petting her from the stressful trip…”who doesn’t like to be mushy once
in a while” she said to herself… she began to paint a picture in her
head..."A young man standing amidst a crowd, in a nice pair of jeans and
lovely shirt. smiling and looking around… waiting for his host to
alight and spot him… leading her to the car and then the destination….
She jerked just as the hostess asked if she cared for water… the
Guardian newspaper in front of her reminded Fola she was in a Nigerian
plane just in a bit to arrive in the Lagos hustle and heat… These things
don’t happen in Naija she said to herself (lol)… if only wishes were
horses…She smiled to herself again this time… was no longer about the
imagination of her dreamed welcoming down the airport… This time, she
thought about just what a wonderful weekend she will have… and was
hoping Sunday will not come for her to have to leave again…
She was really looking forward to arriving in Lagos. O boy, I don miss
Deji o…. All these distance relationship sef, E nor dey easy. She
pondered.
As soon as they landed, she had a spur of excitement her cute eyes
could not hide. she turned on her phone to call her longtime lover with
all enthusiasm and smiles. Immediately, the smiles on her face changed
to a big frown. Why on earth will he do this to me? After all these
stress ehn? She hissed and angrily had her seat in the almost empty
waiting section.
No hug? Deji asked. "You know I missed you. How have you been? I am
sorry"…… But Fola was not ready for any petty apology that sunny
afternoon. She just kept scrolling through her Instagram page and musing
to herself; leaving Deji frustrated and apologetic.
After a long and silent drive to Deji’s crib, Still angry, Fola alighted
from the car and walked towards the door of the place she calls her
Lagos home. She had not even dropped her bag when she saw one of her
favourites on the table waiting for someone to devour. She couldn't be
angry anymore. "Deji, who's got this big chocolate cake?" She asked. He
he ordered it for her. (smiles) Her blush turned to a wide smile.
Beaming girlishly, she said thank you, munched the cake excitedly while
asking him where he ordered it from? Few minutes later, Deji asked if
she would like to go to her favourite place, who dares turn down Protea
Hotel, Ikeja? well not me. This weekend could not be better. She had
missed her baby so much and was happy to be in Lagos.
A bag in the corner caught her attention and Fola asked what could have
been in the cute bag. Deji tried to distract her by giving her a big
bouquet of flowers he had ordered. So beautiful, Fola could not help but
wonder what this best friend of hers had up his sleeves this time. All
the same, she was stealing glances at the crane bag. Her curiosity
cannot be satisfied easily. Deji went ahead to the bag and brought out a
box from it.
The well framed box had in it a perfume, single rose flower and a case.
In split seconds, Deji the man that had ruled her world for years, knelt
down on one knee while she had the chocolate cake and now a bouquet in
her arms and said “ I can’t let you out of my life, please I want to
spend the rest of my life with you WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
That was the bomb. (she never experred it) lol. Not this time... this
really was happening. she closed her eyes and tried to make it sound so
low... but here she was screaming; YES I WILL!!! Of course I will.
Deji wasted no time in wearing the beautiful diamond ring on her finger.
He of course had reharsed this for months... Protea he had planned
tho...(Deji proposes, God disposes)
With a teary eye, Fola staring at the man of the moment whispered I love
you. The King Kong Deji was quick to say "I will love you today, tomorrow
and forever." He immediately swept her off her feet with an intense
kiss. The perfect kiss that sealed the deal. Fola kept looking at the
ring on her finger; reminiscing the events of the day. From anxiety to
disappointment to anger to joy and finally an eternal ecstasy and love
for the ring and of course Deji(who at this moment felt he like he had
won a lifelong-sought-for trophy) It was perfect. Everything perfect and
that special moment would be carved out in their hearts forever till
death do them part.
