Wrong Number
Episode 39
Few weeks to our wedding, I got a call from Daniel. He told me to come down to his office.
“I’m still in school, you know I close by 4pm” I
explained
“Sweetheart, but we agreed you resign, so you could have time to prepare for the wedding.
“I have my love, I’ve tendered my resignation letter, this is my last week here” I explained.
“OK, I need you here, please get a permission or something”
“Ok, let me try to seek permission, I’ll get back at you”
I went to the Principal’s office and he gave me
permission. He understands I’m preparing for my wedding. So he gave me permission. I drove down to Daniel’s office around 11:30am. He offered me a cold drink and told me he wants me to accompany him to a place. We went in his car while I parked mine in the parking lot.
He parked in front of a landed property. The building is under construction, some workers are there working.
“Where is this place?” i asked
“A proposed site for your school and as you can see it’s already under construction” he informed.
My leg was weakened, I couldn’t believe my ears.
“Please tell me I’m dreaming, all this for me?” My eyes were clouded with tears.
“Woman, you are too emotional” he said and held me in his arms. I hugged him tightly
“I’m speechless, I can’t thank you enough. Do you think I really deserve all this?”
“This beautiful heart deserve more my dear”
He hugged and kiss me and patted my back. We left the place heading back to his office to get my car.

My Dad is really preparing for the wedding, he re-painted the whole house, changed the furniture in the living room. Even the whole compound floor was plastered. He fixed every fixable. Our house turned brand new. It’s not easy to give your first daughter out in marriage, but he was extremely happy.
My parents in-law to be and all their guests arrived few days to the wedding. Some stayed at Daniel’s place while others are lodged into a nearby hotel.
We had our Traditional wedding on Friday and church wedding on Saturday. Our wedding was glorious, my heart was filled with so much joy, i married the man of my dreams.
My parents in-law graced the wedding with their White friends and colleagues in America. There extended family members in Ekiti were present too. Also Daniel’s White friends too all came down to Nigeria.
Everyone of them wore the aso ebi, the females
among them tied gele as well. The residents in my area thought I married a White man. I never believed they could travel that far to attend a wedding in Nigeria. It was fun to see these Whites prostrate with the groom during the engagement ceremony. I was elated.
My extended family members, my parent’s colleagues, church members, neighbors, colleagues at my place of work, Daniel’s staff and clients were also present. The crowd was much, thank God we made provisions that
can cater for everyone.
I really miss Joy around, I understand her absence is for the best. I was shocked to see Tunde. I and Daniel invited him but i never knew he’d show up.
Paul and Lizzy were present, they’ve been very
supportive. Lizzy was not all that active because she’s heavily pregnant.
I threw my bouquet at the reception, guess who
caught it? Sharon
Everything went well to the glory of God. After the reception, we were taken straight to the
Airport

We had our honey moon on an Island in Mauritius. Daniel discovered the place few months to our wedding and made reservations. Trust me, the place was beautiful to behold.
Around the Island, there is calm, clear shimmering blue water. The breeze, The sand sparkles in the sunlight. There is a small wooden beach hut which is hidden among the tall, tropical palm trees where couples can relax. The beautiful, blue sunny skies is
spread across the Island.
All the hotel rooms look onto the ocean with great views. I love ocean front hotels, have always dream of a place like this. I never knew beautiful place like this exist in Africa.
We met some White tourists on the Island as well. Our honey moon was splendid. My husband is extremely romantic. Our first night together was awesome and perfect. He treated me like a queen. My husband was unerringly gentle. He took his time and everything else was magical. I felt like I never had se.x all my life.
We had a great time together on the Island. I felt like we are in paradise. I wish it never end but it has to because this trip cost a fortune, the day I stumbled on our bills, I told my husband that one week is enough, we can continue our honey moon in Nigeria but the king is ready to do anything for his queen. He even said we are coming back here anytime soon. To be sincere, I won’t mind coming back, this place is out of this world.
We went on sight seeing, shopping. The restaurant on the Island is classic, their African dishes are on point.
We spent two weeks on the Island before we returned to Nigeria. This is an experience I won’t forget in a very long….time, it was golden.
