Chapter

Déjà vu!

A little over four years ago David had proposed after a dinner date as well. I was wearing a black dress too, everyone shouted 'surprise' upon my arrival to my favorite park too. I remembered the song that was playing in the background now was the same song that softly filled the air all those years ago and David's beautiful confession, it was like I was listening to it all over again...

"...I'll want someone as funny as you to crack jokes when we're all old and wrinkly, I'll want the nation's best lawyer to save my ass when I get into trouble..."

Madam Peju stood not far away, dabbing away her tears like a proud mother, the way my mother had. My mother...

"Mum what would you wear on my big day?" I already knew her answer, I just wanted to tease her because she was still very bad at speaking Yoruba even after three decades of living with daddy who was a 'typical Yoruba man' as he always boasted.
