Considering my distance to school, I had to live away from my siblings for a while. I usually visit during holidays and sometimes weekends. Whenever I visit, I follow them to church, therefore, I knew him from there. One beautiful day, I saw him in my school compound (MGHS) walking about, looking very shy. I told a classmate that I know that boy and I think he is shy, maybe he’s looking for someone or something . As an excuse to relieve him from the tension he might be going through, I called his name but only for him to call me Wunmi’s sister 🫨(I thought to myself ‘he doesn’t know my name’, how nice!. Then he must have felt I was a junior student oh well, I was still wearing the junior girl gown, so that explains it. Albeit, he was my senior cos I had just become a senior while it was his last year as a senior. Well i greeted him and walked away. It was Tourist club induction. All through the event at the school hall, I could clearly see him staring at me or looking around to find me whenever I wasn’t in sight. After school, I moved back to the area, and I started attending church fully with my siblings. I had people walking up to me, but I noticed this boy won’t let me be with the way he stares at me every time. I always catch him staring at me, trying to get close to me but will never say anything about how he feels. We casually speak but nothing too serious. I was going to get a phone one day at the mall, he offered to come with me. I knew he was up to something but I kept cool, very little smile all through. It went on that way for years. This man will always look for the slightest opportunity to get close to me, would make sure he invites me and a few others to join him for a music group that he attends. Another time he offered to teach me how to play drums, I got drumsticks and he would teach me for a while, yet he just won’t let me be with his gaze and utter silence most times. One day he came to visit at our house back then, first thing he said was that he came to check on my sister, she wasn’t home, but he won’t leave, kept fidgeting, going back and forth, sometimes he’ll stutter, and I could sense he had something to say but you know I wouldn’t help him say what it is he had to say, but I was wondering why he is unable to talk. I admire him as a person but that day, I sensed I might have  feelings for him, but I quickly discarded the thought. I walked him to the bus stop and watched him leave. Another day, he called, telling me about someone who is interested in me, asking me if i had noticed him but I said no, of course the person in question had made some indirect advances at several times. It sounded like Alex was asking me out for another person. When he saw that i wasn’t interested in the other person, then he said actually he likes me but he doesn’t think that I’ll like him too and maybe he’s not my kind of guy. I was quite confused but I didn’t say a word on that. We kept on communicating and he’ll always check on me or try to get me to talk to him. Then I received a call one day from someone accusing me about something I didn’t understand anything about, before I could say anything I heard Alex collect the phone and apologized then he ended the call. He never called back to say anything about it, nor did he call back to apologize. Instead, he often sends texts asking about my well-being. I was upset but I kept on replying to him politely.  FAST FORWARD>>> I was viewing whatsapp status of my contacts when I saw his video, ahn ahn, brother Alex of God, what is this? Our ACM/Music director, MOG. Abi you have join bad geng? Puzzled by his post I sent him exactly this phrase “beautiful man”. Then he replied, he was such a clown, we kept talking, reflected on what happened the other time and how I got upset. He was really sorry. After explaining what really happened to me, he apologized and sincerely I could feel his genuine remorse. We kept talking, he always has been sincere and polite with people, the communication went on and got interesting until Baba decided to add fire. BOOM!!! Yemi this Yemi that, let me not cast his wooing skills , It felt so thrilling and truly amusing when I hear him express his feelings. He was very direct this time(very unlike him) but charming. Although I have always admired him, and i know that I might have developed feelings for him over the years but I have never been a fan of light skinned guys. Nevertheless, right before Alex eventually expressed himself, God had revealed my husband to me, though his face was not clearly visible, yet I could tell that he has a fair complexion. I was already looking out for who that man could be. Honestly, fair guys indeed approached but something ends up not being right, until Alex spoke up. The conviction was there!  Apparently He is that man, my man.
