Marriage Proposal - Episode 20
Like Those Days
Both folks stood there silently staring at each other’s eyes waiting for whom to take the lead and break the ice. “Seven whole years! No calls, no texts, not even a mail. Seem the love we professed then to each other as children was just a fantasy” Beatrice said finally breaking the silence.
“Seeing you at the convocation party the other day, I just couldn’t believe that my Beatrice had grown this big and beautiful” Uche said, ignoring her statement at hand.
“I was also made tounderstand that you came out top of your class in both degrees. Aren’t you just an angel? Beautiful and Intelligent” Uche added, hoping this would make her blush.
Of course, the words did the magic . She blushed for a while, then said “Since you can’t tell me why you refused to call all these while, so tell me, why are you here? And spare me the invitation nonsense, that’s just formality, we both know you came here for another purpose” Beatrice added, as she gave no breathing space to Uche much more the courtesy of an hospitality given to a guest.
Putting his hands in his pocket and smiling sheepishly as he would always do when talking to Mary then, he said, “Okay! If you say so. Let’s just say I came here to see you, or are your friends no longer allowed to come pay you a visit?”
“What kind of friend that can’t keep communication?” Beatrice said.

. “So you mean, you just came to pay me a visit and that’s all” She added opening her mouth in surprise”
Uche became skeptical, not wanting to be too forward in everything. “Just take it a step at a time” He muttered to himself. “Of course, a harmless visitation, at least let’s say for now” He added and smiled.
At this Beatrice couldn’t help but smiled too. “You haven’t changed at all Uche, hope you know that? Still as funny as usual, you know”
“Hmm, I will take that as a compliment” Uche replied and both laughed. “I was thinking, since its being long, why don’t you go out with me for lunch in one of these days? Seems you are a very busy lady at work. The other day I couldn’t find you. So I don’t mind come picking you up whenever you are free.” He added.
“Oh, now I see where that hamper came from. The receptionist tried describing you but I couldn’t just remember any person that matched the description she gave. No wonder. How did you even know my place of work?” She said smiling as she became curious.
“Oh you think we Nigerians are not good with locating people too now abi? We may not have the technologies you guys have in the UK, but believe me, we have competent informants that can keep us posted with every information” He said.
Both of them laughed so loudly, and could feel the vibes as it used to be in those days. Slowly, the past they had was becoming present again for the future.
