And I said, “Yes!” Now, calm down. Lemme tell you the full story. “I’ll make this post short & sweet. And by the time I’m done, you’ll feel one or more of these emotions: happy, jealous, confused, curious, doubtful, angry…. did I mention angry already? Hehehe.”
Remember My Valentine??? Yes, the very same one who surprised me on Valentine’s Day. Let’s just say he’s full of surprises. And I’m really, really sorry for not telling you about the full story of our relationship. I just didn’t want to put everything out there. Sometimes, one has to keep somethings personal. In my next post, I’ll be sure to give you details. Everything you want to know, I will tell you. But for now, rejoice with me on this please…!! 🙂
The Proposal: I came home yesterday to an empty house – no surprises there. I did the usual thing. Dropped my bag on the table, took my shoes off, and headed for the bathroom to empty my bladder. While in there, I kept singing this funny song, “I’m married to Jesus/Satan leave me alone…” Ever heard??
Anyway, I got out of the bathroom and went into the kitchen to get something to eat. I had just put some rice into the microwave when a classmate called me, so I picked up the phone. The earring I was wearing (also known as my everyday earring) tends to scratch the screen of my phone, so I took the earring off and proceeded to my bedroom to drop it on my dresser. I opened the door and met the shock of my life.
There he was – all six feet plus of him, on one bended knee, candles lit everywhere, and rose petals on the floor. I didn’t know what to say. It felt like I stood there forever. I didn’t even know when I started crying. I knew the significance of a man on one bended knee, but I didn’t know why he was on one bended knee. In my shock, I went to him and knelt down beside him, crying. I forgot I wasn’t supposed to be kneeling down. He said a bunch of things. I don’t remember now, but it didn’t matter. I let him slip that beautiful ring on my finger. I haven’t been able to stop looking at it and taking pictures of my finger. It was only after the kiss that I realized other people were in the room: my mother, my father, Funmi, Busola, Uju, Ireti, and a camcorder! I was crying. He was crying. Mom was crying. My friends were crying. Ireti was laughing. I think I saw a lone tear on dad’s face, but he quickly wiped it off. I don’t know what I did to deserve such a wonderful, wonderful man.
p.s. Now, if you believed the story you just read, please help me slap yourself twice: the first slap is for being so gullible. The second slap is for forgetting it’s April Fool’s Day.
p.p.s. The hand and the ring in the picture both belong to me. I keep the ring (and a wedding band) in my wallet because sometimes, I feel like being married. More like, sometimes I don’t feel like being single. Actually, sometimes, I just don’t feel like being flirted with. There, I said it.
p.p.p.s. You probably didn’t notice, but in the first paragraph of this post, the words in quotations are in quotations and italicized for a reason: I stole the entire line from the post about. My Valentine. Tehehe. The only difference is that I replaced ‘jealous’ with ‘angry’ (the one in bold). So uhm, are you angry now?? Tehehehehehehehe.
p.p.p.p.s. My earring really does have that effect on my phone, and I really do take it off a lot of times. So you see…. this post isn’t a lie. Let’s just say I embelished the truth a wee little bit.

My World: Thanks, love!!! Na all because of you oh…
Aloted: So you didn’t fall ehn? No kwamps. Next year dey. Of course, My Valentine exists!! That story was 100% true. Any other question you have about My Valentine will have to be accompanied with a bottle of perfume. U know the drill.

StandTall-The Activist says
Can I ever be mad at you? I can only tease ya and I am waiting till I fall o
sleekiest says
When I started reading, I thought.. this doesn’t look like the ring Vera described previously. If anything, more like the ring she scoffed at so it cant be true.
But, when you said you were lying and took time to ‘convince’ us that you were… now. I am thinking maybe the real April fool’s is telling us bits of a truth without us taking you up on it.
or maybe, I am thinking too much early in the morng.
Nice one…
Faith Saves, Love Heals says
WOW……lol…when i looked at the ring i thot to myself you are either lying or unhappily engaged because that ring didnt look anything close to the rock you were describing in your earlier post…i was still fooled if that makes you feel any 🙁 …..hehehehhehe…that was fun!
B'Dazzle says
Knowing u Vera, it just had to be an April Fool Move. Nice one though, really nice. I almost believed you too. But anything as good as that on April Fool’s Day is just that … too good to be true. Very good attempt though.
B'Dazzle says
p.s. Can’t wait for it to be true.
p.p.s. Nice hands. They yours? *wink*
Quaggar says
LMAO!!! i sooo fell for this one, and this has to be the 3rd April fool prank i’m falling for today. Ddnt realise i was that gullible.

Sleekiest: You’re definitely thinking too much. lol. But now that I have told you that, I feel like I have only served to increase your doubt and curiousity. If that is the case, then I am a winner. Hehehe. You said this ring is not good? Ahhh! Una don kill pesin 4 here oo.
Faith Heals, Love Saves: Hahaha. Unhappily engaged?? Tufia kwa! I won’t even be blogging about it if that were the case. So you too think the ring is bad ehn? Goodness! Anyways, the most important thing is that you fell. Up Vera.
B’Dazzle: So you didn’t fall ehn? Better luck for me next time. And yes, the hand is mine. Thank you, very much. But wait oh… isn’t it possible to get a proposal that is this nice on Valentine’s Day? And I can’t wait 4 it to be true either. *wink*
Quagger: 3rd April fool prank you’re falling for at only 11am (my time)? LOL!! That’s too funny. I shudder to think of how many more you may have fallen for. I’m waiting 4 the scene to play out too. Hehehehe

Kemberly: Hahahaha. But that’s not fair now! You’re not allowed to comment and then go back and read. Soooo not fair!
Funms: That’s cheating!! And for that, you also deserve a slap. How dare you??? I thot we had a deeper connection?
Remi: Hahahaha. Over excitement dey worry you ehn? LOL. Hahahaha. Ehm,don’t worry ehn… you will be top four soon. But babe, you’re not too far away from it right now oh…. **snickering**
Gochi: Well, it’s a mighty big room that has nooks and crannies where people can hide. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. No1 can prove that it’s a little room that barely has enough space for me to walk by. Hehehe. Thanks for stopping by!
Vera Ezimora says
Naija Girl: LOL!! You know, I don't really know how I visualize my engagement. What I know is that I wanna be totally taken by surprise in the most uncommon way. Okay, just to reinforce, I am still talking about the proposal; for some reason, that line about being taken by surprise sounds naughty. LOL
Anonymous: Hahahaha. At least, you should first give yourself the two slaps. LOL. You're welcome to bulala me… but only one oh. And it must be on my butt….so I can stuff my butt with clothes &

N.I.M.M.O says
I knew this would happen, that was why I didn’t visit this blog yesterday.
I just knew that Vera would plant an April Fool’s story even if no one else did. I just respected myself and stayed away jeje.
Somehow, the picture gave the story away though, it just didn’t gel with the story in my head. I kept coming back to look at the ring like something is not right here and I don’t know what it was.
Nice one.
Folake says
Vera, I read this in the car yesterday! While I was driving. Can you believe? My husband was in panic mode…scared for our lives. I was like OMG! This chic knows how to keep a secret. Wow! Then I kept reading and it dawned on me that it was April fool’s day, but I kept reading nonetheless. To find out that it was all a hoax. Lol..lol..lol..lol. Trust me, I read your blog on my phone each time you update, It’s just impossible to leave a comment from the phone. Further, I’m usually hurt because I don’t get the post until 24hrs later. I’m signed up to your blog to receive daily updates, but it’s always LATE!!! And as it happens, I’m usually one of the last to comment – if not the last 🙁 That’s not encouraging, sweetie pie 🙂
Congratulations sha. Lol. Many more blessings! Muah! You got us good 🙂
SOLOMONSYDELLE says
HA!!!!!
@ Folake: you read this while driving? Chineke!

Afronuts says
Grrr…
I’m posting after April 1st and I still fell for this…
Psheeewwww!
It is a big fat frigging nasty LIE…that is not your hand!
Vera Ezimora says
N.I.M.M.O: LOL. So you too think something is wrong with the ring? Walahi, something is wrong with you all. And you’re banned from not visiting my blog on certain days. Yes, I mean that henceforth, you MUST visit on such days as April Fool’s Day and YE must fall 4 my tricks. Gat it?
Folake: LOL. Awwww. Poor darling. I’m flattered that you read this while driving, but don’t try that again ooo! LOL. I usually update during the early hours every three days, if that helps.
Solomon Sydelle: She sure did! Wetin na? U dey jealous am? lol
ADifferentNaijaSpec: Nothing says welcome like a dose of an April Fool’s joke, ehn? Don’t worry; there won’t be another joke till next year – I think.
Poetically Tinted: Did you fall?
Doja: LOL. I don’t mind @ all. That was my prayer anyway. I just hope you slapped yourself.
G FUNC: LOL. Well, may God be praised. Thank you.
Afronuts: I hope you slapped yourself ooo! Don’t think that being a father-to-be will excuse you from this. Reward yourself immediately. And whatdya mean it’s not my hand? Is it yours? LOL. Jealously, jealousy!

Jayla: Indeed, I no go kill pesin. I go just bring am close to his/her death – in a good way, of course.
Ochuko: Yes. Honestly, they are unmanicured. They’re just in their natural state. Well, I filed them, of course… but that was a while ago, and that’s all I did to it.
