it was a rainy saturday morning, when i was coming back from lecturers, i decided to branch in one of my friend's house close to campus. getting there he wasn't at home so i decided to go home. while walking home i saw a very beautiful dark skinned lady, struggling with the heaviness of the rain, i was so taken away that i didn't know when i started following her. gradually i was able to meet up with her, we both exchange greetings as if we have met before. she then asked, can i help you? i replied yes please, i was going home when i was so carried away by your lovely attraction, i told myself i need to know you, i said. she smiled and replied, is that why you followed me to this extent, and smiled and said yes. i have never seen a beautiful lady in this area, are you new? i forward said. Nop i'm not, i stay at the other street over there, as she pointed. whats your name please?, Joy , she said. i asked for her number and we both dashed to our various destinations. i was filled with joy, and could'nt believe i spoke with a beautiful girl. when i got home, i greeted my parents in a happy mood, my mum who knew me as a stressful boy was shocked seeing my mood, and asked in a playful way, have you won a scholarship? and smiled and said no mum, i'm just happy. ok o, your food is in the kitchen she concluded. falling in love was one thing i love doing, and i always made sure i do it the right way. and so i decided to keep up with my new friend. later that night i checked if joy's number was on whatsapp, because i saw iphone 6 with her, she probably be a big girl i thought. luckily for me i guess right, her picture was armlessly on her dp on whatsapp. i chatted her up and asked if she got home early enough, and asked after her parents. we chatted for about 5hours before i slept off. the next day which was a sunday morning, i decided not to go to church because i slept late so i hang around with the tv and checked online, only to find out that joy has message me around 6a.m in the morning, "hey dear good morning, hope you will go to church, pray for me thanks" immediately i saw that message i was happy, replied, i got ill and couldn't make it to church. before noon she replied me saying, 'oh dear, sorry hope you took some medication? i replied sure and she promise to visit me on monday evening. it was barely 2 days me and joy met, and i haven't asked her if she's dating or if we can date not until a week later, when i visited her i her house while her parents were away, spent the whole day chatting about school life. today we are happily married with 5 kids, she's the best woman i have ever met.
