June 15th, 2011 is a day I cannot forget in a hurry, as it was the day I met my dearest wife. On that day, I was outside my room at my off-campus hostel, trying to put on my ‘I pass my neighbor‘ generator when I suddenly saw one of my female neighbours step into our compound gate with this young and gorgeous looking lady.I felt my heart beat unusually fast as they drew closer, and when they finally reached where I stood, they both greeted.
At first I stood speechless and aghast, until my neighbour introduced us, which I gave an abrupt response to, because (as a young man who was running his 2nd degree in Law) I had told myself that I wouldn’t allow any distractions from the female gender. So I pretended indifference. But when I returned to my room, I could not concentrate – I kept thinking about the lady I just met. Right then in my mind, I knew I wanted to know her beyond her name which kept resounding in my head.
