Now, Loveth was aware of the real deal why Mary had declined Uche’s proposal. But Uche had no idea about this. "Perhaps, he would still accept her as she is" She thought to herself. “Perhaps, he won’t” Another voice said to her.

“Well, let me still tell him and allow him make the decision. I must create time to relate this to Uche, before Mary does anything bad to herself." She had concluded in her mind . Loveth took out time to attend Uche's dad welcoming party so she could relate this story to him and see if he still loves her as he had claimed all this while. 

But what she saw, busted her bubbles. At the party, she saw Uche sitting with another lady - Beatrice. "Was it not just a few days ago, he called me asking about Mary's whereabouts? Perhaps, he has given up on her as I had advised" Loveth thought.

. Young's supposed retirement party had become his son's proposal party. 

Everyone kept on waiting with curiosity to the response of Beatrice. Mrs. Young and Mrs. Taiwo started praying silently for a yes. "This would just be the perfect match for our daughter" Mrs. Taiwo whispered to her husband.
