We met in 2014 as postgraduate students in UI. We were just friends then in the classroom and I remember vividly that he was a funny character who used to sit if not beside me, it will adjacent or directly opposite. We shared some courses together and I attended the MFMPG fellowship where I do most of the readings just because of the serenity and quietness of the location. He used to come once in a while to read there till we became perpetual full-time reading partners. It continued like that even after the program and we started working in IB but we were used to checking on each other with no strings attached.
Moreover, It happened after he checked up on me as usual sometimes in June 2018 that I was seeing him off to the bus stop that I was hearing somethings I never imagined from him. I started having thoughts that I didn’t know when I spoke out loud that, TOLU, I’m not the type of those regular ladies with jeans trousers and attachments or wigs on their head. I do have my reason for saying that because of what I have noticed from him while in and out of school.
Pardon me if I had burst your bubbles but sometimes “Assumption can be costly”
Furthermore, he appeared to be more serious with a more convincing proposal. I was totally off that I had to turn back and wish him a nice night that fateful day. He made several phone calls while not visiting as often, that I told him to give me some moments to go where I should.
Nonetheless, we were still friends all these periods only suspending frequent check-Ups normal concentration. So, I called to see him on August 9, 2018, that his proposal is actually YES.
That was when Tolulola’s relationship started which will now be #TolulolaUnion.
Tolulopemi, I can’t thank God enough for making our paths crossing (thank God for UI MATHS). I’m blessed to have you as the one I’ll be sharing this forever journey with and I’m sure you worth the totality of my decision. I love you for who you are and all you do most especially, your love for God, your kind heart, caring, and loving nature not just to me but to everyone you around. cheers to an amazing and successful future ahead of us.
I love you now and always!
