As December drew to a close, the bittersweet reality of Temilade’s upcoming departure back to Oman for work settled in. We cherished every moment of our staycation adventure, a perfect send-off tinged with the impending separation.

The week leading up to my trip took an unexpected turn. An accident left me shaken and sidelined. Little did I know, Obembe had a surprise waiting in the wings – a proposal! His immediate reaction to my mishap, rushing to the hospital instead of the office, solidified the depth of his love and care. Although the proposal plans were temporarily postponed, it only reaffirmed his commitment.

Temilade’s accident was a nerve-wracking experience. Seeing her well-being compromised put everything else on hold. Witnessing her strength and resilience during that time only strengthened my desire to spend the rest of my life by her side.
The following week, with Temilade on the mend, I decided to resurrect the proposal plan. With the help of her close friend, I orchestrated a surprise lunch date at the Marriott. Unaware of my intentions, Temilade happily agreed to the outing.

The answer, a resounding “Yes!”, echoed through the restaurant. Laughter, tears of joy, and countless pictures followed. The intimate setting, with a handful of close friends present, made the moment even more special.
