The Surprise Visit

This happened in March, I lost a close friend and it affected my health but Mrpossible  was there through it all. As I was going through that phase in my life, I sincerely did not expect any visit from him, but whenever he’s planning a surprise, he drops subtle hints when talking but you cannot really place a finger on it because he would also say things that will totally leave you in doubt afterwards..Well, I later started suspecting he would come  because his friends wife kind of insinuated it, so I told my friends in school that I   was not sure he would come but if he does, I would like to throw a surprise party for him so they should please make room for an invite.

A night to the day I thought he would come, he called me from work and said he would be working late, went on and on about how he was so tired and a lot of stuff, I comforted him as usual, still hopeful that it was just a ruse and  he would still come to the UK. That  same day, at about 10 pm, booboo called me saying, oh he just closed from work and was on his way home, that he’s so tired and may not call me till tomorrow, at this point, I started telling myself, “what if he actually doesn’t come?” That was how I slept my brothers and sisters, the next day as soon as I woke up, I jumped to my phone and called him, his phone was ringing but he wasn’t picking” chai! I have set myself up for disappointment, how was a Nigerian number ringing? Okay maybe he was roaming. I remember our friends have told us that this our surprise thing we always do, would put us in trouble one day… He later sent a message saying he would call me and he was busy, he was chatting from his BBM and guess what?? His location was showing Nigeria, I almost passed out, I was so disappointed and down because I had planned this whole surprise in my head and had also planned my week with him in it.

Then he finally called and was trying to act all nice with me and said, “How are you?, I quickly went fine, where are you babe?” and many other questions followed… He said he was out to see some people and asked  why I was acting  like he was suppose to be in some place else, then I told him what I thought, to that he said, “why would you think such? well I really would have loved to be there, but this my work stuff” it was like I was in an ice bucket challenge, I pretty much got numb, he tore the last shread of hope I had. I explained how I felt and he apologised saying it was all his fault, and how we should really slow down on all this surprises since it made me feel this way…. I just told him “yeah it is fine let us talk later” because I needed to psyche myself back to reality being that my church had a program and I was leading the choir that day… I needed to put myself together and focus on God jor, afterall he will not disappoint me…. Hehehe paranoid much?

At this point I laid on my bed, brought out what I would wear, processed what just happened, kept my phone on silent and tuned into the practice for the program, with some little strays here and there on how I wished Mrpossible just showed up…. I finally got myself in a good place and got up, picked my phone, what did I see, some missed calls and pings from bobo, same Nigeria number by the way. I called back and now, he said he just felt bad for putting me in such situation and would not do it again before he could finish, I told him, I was fine and we should let go, that I would soon be going to church and I have come to accept he won’t be coming, that he shouldn’t blame himself, that I was the one that allowed my mind to wander… Then he said, “okay babe. Well, just look down.” (from my room window, you can see the gate) I was like “Mrpossible ( calling the  name his father and mother gave him this time around) ”please don’t do this..It won’t be fair if you are not there, he was like look down, then I opened my curtains and who the heck was I seeing? It was my baby!!!!!!! Strolling with a box, looking all dapper, with a  black leather jacket( it was a movie moment!!!!) I started screaming, banging the window, I just kept shouting and I guess he was feeling so suave when he said ” can you please come down and open the door for me” I was on the third floor and I managed to enter the elevator, I would have ran down the flight of stairs but I had to manage my excitement… There he was at the door, after the hug…. I realized I was in my worst outfit ever, a jumping pyjamas and the oldest shirt I own, you know the way you dress when you don’t  expect anyone? That was how I was my brothers and sisters. Lollll. I went to church that day very very excited, the praise and worship was on point, God is really Love. Did I remember to say my friend came to the room to laugh at me , when I told her he wasn’t coming, you know that kind of ‘it is good for you laugh’, I was so upset but guess who had the last laugh?????? Moi!

When we got talking, Mrpossible said he would be in the UK for some time and his birthday was gonna fall in that space… So I knew I had to pay him back and the surprise birthday plan went into full swing. I invited my friends from class, school etc…Then my mind started playing games on me again, the mind sha, it is a powerful somebody o…“this might be a proposal , for him to come over again and the way he came, this has just got to be it…Is he planning to propose on his birthday”, he even asked me to tell him about nice places we could go to that day, like restaurant, What if I surprise him on his birthday and all of a sudden, in front of everyone, he pulls out a ring and proposes to me? omg! I will just cry. It would be so ideal… A girl is allowed to daydream right? No? loll.

The Birthday/ Trip/ Proposal

The birthday was finally here or do I say ‘proposal day’, then I made sure his brother kept him busy throughout the day and told him that we would go for the planned dinner in the evening, invited him over in pretence of picking me up for dinner, then lured him into the kitchen, telling him a story of how I almost got the house burnt, just for him to walk into the surprise!!!! He had no idea, feather to my cap!!!! Whoop whoop! oh well how can I explain the proposal, no proposal came for me that evening o, after the party and plenty dancing, I watched every guest leave one by one still without a ring on my finger, did I read the signs wrong?

Well I was still hopeful as he invited me to London, from there he would go to Nigeria. I know he is a private person , so maybe he just wanted that moment to be about both of us…I followed. We had a fine dinner, ate the best waffle ever, I saw him hiding in one corner doing something after the dinner, how conspicuous? it better not be a ring o,so you waited till after dinner, then I saw him bringing out his pen, Haba! do they write on ring boxes nowadays and I don’t  know? Before I could get it into my head that it wasn’t a ring, the bobo handed me a beautiful love card….love card???????( I just smiled but my heart was burning there…lol) see me and the tension I allowed myself feel, before ring gives someone hypertension…lol. To cut the story short, I came back from London, ring less! It was just me,my thoughts, and my cold ringless finger on my way back to London…Ouch! I can’t count how many family members called to ask if he proposed? #Shamefaced #

Episode 3 would be out March 17th, 2015… Would Mrpossible finally put a ring on it or will I just breakdown and propose?
