It was a lengthy day, and after wrapping up work, I returned home to confer with the Cabana Boys about the upcoming celebration, a shutdown party scheduled for the following day on the 18th of January 2020. Our discussion centered around crafting memorable moments and making history, as is our tradition.

On the day of the event, I received a call notifying me of the need to work during the shutdown night. Reluctantly, I agreed, recognizing the necessity of earning some income. While the party unfolded in the living room downstairs, I found myself upstairs working remotely due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation. The music echoed, the food was delectable, and the atmosphere was lively. Periodically, I descended to join the boys and the squad, grabbing a few bites here and there.

During the "Shutdown," amidst the laughter and festivities, Gameboy Toronto playfully called me out for remaining upstairs. Intrigued, I ventured downstairs to join Gameboy Toronto and Zibiri, who were discussing the night's escapades. At some point, I heard laughter emanating from the kitchen and observed Nonso entertaining two ladies, Temi, and Loveth, with his infectious humor.

Captivated by Temi's laughter and beauty, I decided to interrupt Nonso's conversation to inquire about their names. Temi and Loveth introduced themselves, and with playful banter, Nonso decided to introduce me with elaborate titles and names. Temi, finding it amusing, couldn't stop laughing.

Seizing the opportunity, I asked Temi if I could have a brief private conversation with her. Initially hesitant, she agreed after Nonso and Zibiri vouched for my intentions. To assure her, I provided a copy of my ID card and explained that I was still working, promising a quick conversation.

Reluctantly, she agreed, and what was meant to be a short conversation extended into a five-hour discussion. We delved into topics ranging from goals and aspirations to hobbies, family, and our shared desire to achieve our set goals for the year. It was a conversation that defied the logic of a person supposed to be working, but it ended on a positive note as Temi gave me her phone number, expressing a desire to talk again.

Little did we know, lockdown would follow, and our relationship would blossom from friendship to what it is today. It's a testament to fate and divine intervention. Three years later, we celebrate my incredible partner, Temi. She is the most focused, hardworking, caring, and goal-oriented woman I have ever met. I am grateful for all she has done, and I am eager for the life we will build together.

Look at God – Look at us.

E choke oh!!!!!
