SATURDAY STORIES: THE DREAM

I had always prayed to God to give me a wonderful wife and i had made promises of
how i would go the extra mile just to make sure she's comfortable.
Owing to the fact that I happen to be a shy person approaching a lady i like was a problem i mean a very big one. The issue of having a girlfriend doesn't make much sense to me not really because I see it as a distraction but because i am too shy to approach a lady and i am also scared of heartbreak because am a very emotional person and i know the toll a heartbreak would take on me and i am not ready for that. I made a vow to myself and to God that any lady that ends up being my wife I would cherish and shower her with love and care like she had never seen before.


Some days earlier i was at an event and my eyes caught this beautiful lady and i must confess i have never seen a lady this beautiful, without any artificial features she was naturally beautiful i told myself i must get to talk to her and if possible get her contact but the shy part of me was like nah she's not in your class, she might break your heart, just forget her and move on.




 I was literally arguing with myself to the extent that if someone was paying attention to me would have seen the gestures on my face. After all said and done i summoned courage and i went to talk to her it was like a dream come true she was just the kind of lady i was looking for in all ramifications (spiritually, physically, academically etc). i got her contact and we got talking. She was all i could ever want in a lady.

We became good friends and closer than just normal friends but i didn't want to just jump into conclusion i made sure we were on the same page  in that aspect (I wanted to to be sure i was not in the friend zone) and just as i was hoping, we were on the same page. if the decision was left to me i would have taken the decision right there and then but i had to make sure i was on the right page also with God in this regard. I took it to God in prayers i told my pastor to also pray about it and as i was hoping the outcome was positive there and then i knew i was making the right choice.

I wasted no time in proposing and well according to her it was the best proposal she had ever seen or heard about. It was on a Saturday at the mall we were done shopping when we got to the car after dropping the things we bought into the booth. I went ahead to open the door for her but before i opened the door i told her to look up and as she looked up into the sky she saw this

Dami will you marry me?

before she looked down i was already on my knees with the ring in my hand and the answer i got gladden my heart obviously i got a yes. I was so happy i couldn't sleep all through the night.



We put everything in place just in readiness for the big day which was a month away and the D day finally arrived. I was eagerly anticipating that day not just that day but what was bound to happen that night. We were both Christians and we don't joke with the bible so we did everything the biblical way so there was no sex before marriage not even a kiss so the picture i had in my head was the way i was going to kiss her when the pastor makes the declaration "You may now kiss the bride".

The day started has as usual with all the necessary proceedings till it finally got to the part i was so eager about we both said our vows and exchange the rings and finally i heard those words have been longing to hear "you may now kiss the bride"

 I didn't rush so i don't look too desperate i took my time to remove the veil covering her face i took her face in my hands just as my lips were approaching hers then i felt a tap at my back and a familiar voice followed and said

Guy how far, you no wan wake up ni? today na environmental sanitation ooo we need to clean the compound

only for me to turn and i saw my roommate standing by the bed that was when realized it was all a dream.

Why did he allow the devil to use him to stop the wonderful dream? Why did he wait till i got to that specific part of the dream before he woke me up? Why did he not just wait for a minute of two maybe i would have finished the dream and woke up on my own. Those were the questions in my head as i looked at him dumbfounded.
