Married to an unknown man
Episode 7
George and I met the next day, we went to his friend who is a unisex fashion designer, he has a big shop along Airport road with so many workers, we gave him our clothes and told him the day we’ll be needing the clothes.
Did I tell y’all George is Igbo, from my state but different local government area.
We visited his father later that day, he gave us his blessings, he dropped me home and my mum gave us her blessings too.
He said he was going to pick me up the next day to take me out for my birthday, I told him I’ll be going to work.
He said I should take the day off and enjoy my birthday, after so many arguments I agreed to take the day off.
Very early on Friday morning, I saw his text message, wishing me a happy birthday then he called to sing for me.
His voice was funny, I struggled to suppress my laughter, after the song he said he has a surprise for me, I asked what the surprise was about, he said if he told me it won’t be a surprise anymore.
My body was itching to know about the surprise.
Later I got an alert of 50k from him and a text message telling me to use the money to hold my body,
I thought that was the surprise,
Well that was also a surprise cause I never expected that he’ll send me money as big as that just to hold body as he said.
Did I tell y’all that he owns a law firm, and he own the building he’s using as his office? I just did
Na wa oo, it was later that Friday I knew, when he took me there.
Before then a dispatch rider brought a dress, bag and shoe to me and told me it was all from George
Wow…… another surprise, then he called and told me, that was the dress I would wear to go out with him later and asked if I liked it, told him I loved it.
He picked me up by 3pm, when he came, and saw me all dressed up, he said I was beautiful and that made me blush, even when we were on the way he kept on complementing me, making me blush anyhow, I had to tell him to stop.
When we got to his office,(the law firm in Benin) I was surprised.
Then we left by 6pm and he told me he was taking me somewhere and that will be the last surprise of the day.
I was eager to get there, when we got there it was a hotel, I thought we would be lodging but it was far from it, we took the elevator to the roof top, I was amazed by what I saw.
On the roof top were two chairs opposite each other with a round table in their middle, a bottle of wine on the table, 2 glass cups, the table and chairs were decorated with beautiful satin materials and flowers, the surrounding was not left out, it was decorated with beautiful flowers and dim lights to beautify the place, the day was dark already, so it made the place beautiful.
He led me to one of the chair and I sat down, he sat down opposite me, he called someone with his phone and asked the person to bring the items, I sat down wondering what the items was.
A guy came in some minutes later with food trolley with different foods on it, I knew it was for us cause we were the only ones there, but how we would finish the foods was what I kept thinking.
After dropping them on our table he left, George opened the wine bottle and poured some wine for me and also poured for himself.
We had small talks while eating, when I had eaten to my satisfaction, I dropped the spoon and drank some water and told him I was done, he dropped on one kneel and brought out a ring box, removed the ring and stretched it out to me and said
“I know we haven’t known each other for long, I know things are rushed, but the times I have spent with you are enough for me to know that you’ll bring me happiness if you’re officially mine, you’re going to be mine soon, but I want you to accept this ring”.
I blinked while giving him my hand, he slipped the ring on my finger and kissed it.
I blushed like crazy but I was happy within, so that was the last surprise I thought.
After the food, we went to his place, I passed the night at his house, we played lots of games before we went to bed.
We no do oo, before una go think say we do ๐
The next day I came back home cause I had a lot of clothes to wash, I didn’t go to work.
By evening he came to pick me up, we went to a birthday party together, I slept at his place again, we still didn’t do anything ๐, on Sunday morning we went to church together, The pastor knew we were getting married on Easter Sunday,
We had discussed and arranged everything, the reception was going to be held at the event center close to the church.
