Marriage Proposal - Episode 19
Open Cheque
“Hello Son, how are you doing? I will be returning home next week from my trip. Join your mum in organizing for the welcome party at home. Do well to send invites to my friends also, especially the Taiwo’s family. See you soon son. Regards, Your Dad.”
These were the wordings of the mail Uche’s dad sent this morning to him. Although, the mail spelt out some specific responsibilities for Uche to carry out, only one seems to be of utmost interest and importance to him – “especially the Taiwo’s family” .
He thought of using the welcoming party and the invitation process to get to Beatrice as he had tried severally to see her, all to no avail.
It was the Saturday of that very weekend Mr. Young had sent the mail. Uche had thought it as the best time to meet the Taiwo’s family, all at home. Fortunately for him, his predictions were right. Every member of the Taiwo family were having lunch together that afternoon in the beautiful Taiwos' Gardens outside their residence.
The Taiwo’s compound was so big that it would take about one minute for one walking from the gate to get to the main entrance of the house. Thus, they had already seen Uche walking towards them from the garden were they all sat

“Oh, is that not Uche?” Mrs. Taiwo asked. “Yes, he is the one. I think he is officially bringing the invitation for us. His dad had called me earlier on to tell me about the welcome party he is having at his place, which also is retirement party.” Mr. Taiwo said
“Oh, Uche! He hasn’t changed quite much. The other day at the party, I only saw him from afar” Beatrice said. The manner at which Beatrice made the statement and smiled along with it, sent a signal to the parent that she would probably still like him. All these while, she wasn’t even aware Uche was her mum’s plan.
Wale happened to be the only one who didn’t say a word, as they had rang in his head severally that it’s bad habit to talk while one was eating.

. Apparently, none of them seems to have been faithful to all they had taught him.
“Good afternoon sir, good afternoon ma!” Uche said as he bent his head a little for courtesy sake. Turning to Beatrice, words almost failed him as the smiled that radiated from her face could make any man go speechless, deaf and blind. “It’s like your beauty is disobedient to the law of diminishing return. You are still as beautiful as ever. Good afternoon Beatrice!” He said.
Immediately Wale coughed softly and was like “Bro Uche Welcome”. “Thank you Wale” He responded.
“Am sure you came to invite us for the Welcome and Retirement party right?” Mr. Taiwo said. “We are already aware. Give me the letter so we could leave you two. Seems its being a million years you both saw” He added as he collected the envelope and then walked away with his wife and son leaving Beatrice and Uche just there alone. It was like and an open cheque to Uche.
