I went to my friend’s wedding with one mission only… to chop rice and maybe find love if God permits 😭
As I entered the hall, the AC hit me first. Omo, I adjusted my shirt immediately and started walking around like I came from Banana Island 😂
That was when I saw her.
Tall, beautiful, shining like imported ring light. She was sitting close to the drinks section pressing phone gently. I told myself, “Conquer, today na today.” 😭
I carried one cup of small chops and used style to stand near her.
“Hi… are you the bride’s friend?”
She smiled. “Yes.”
My heart skipped like bad network 😭
I sat down confidently and started pressing conversation.
“Honestly, weddings fit make person believe in love again.”
She laughed.
Omo, the laugh sweet me enter bone marrow 😂
I started upgrading myself immediately.
I told her I’m a businessman.
I didn’t mention that the business is still “loading…” 😭
She asked what I do for fun.
I said, “I travel a lot.”
Meanwhile the farthest place I’ve traveled this year is Area 1 😭💔
Everything was moving smoothly until food started coming out.
The aroma alone nearly made me forget the girl.
But I stayed focused because this was bigger than jollof rice 😂
I was already planning how I’ll collect her number and maybe snap picture together for soft launch…
Suddenly, from nowhere, I heard my mother’s voice behind me.
“Conquer!”
My soul left my body 😭
Before I could turn properly, my mom brought out black nylon from her handbag and said loudly:
“Put this food inside, na our night food be this!” 😂😂😂
I stood there emotional, fighting tears in the middle of the hall while my mother happily marched out with nylon swinging like trophy 😂💔
