After a long time away from Ghana (17 years), I decided to go back to visit the homeland. I barely knew anyone, anywhere and you can only imagine how difficult it was for me to connect to people. Luckily, there was a family friend who owned a nail salon and I used to go there and chat. One afternoon, I decided to go the salon to sit and relax. I remember using my phone and my head was down, all of a sudden, I heard a sweet angelic voice speaking and picked up my head as fast as I could. As soon as I saw her face, I was in awe because I have never seen such a gorgeous woman like that before, and her best feature was her eyes. As soon as she looked at me, I said to myself “WOW” what a beauty. From that point on, I knew this was my time to pursue without wasting a minute lol.
I waited until she was done, then I decided to make small conversations. At first, it was difficult to break the ice and she was playing hard to get. Knowing me, I wouldn’t have pursued any further, but I kept at it, and it wasn’t normal for me but eventually I was able to break the ice after several attempts. The next step was to get her phone number and I remember her telling me she doesn’t have a phone and I remember saying, you are lying because I can see a phone hanging out from your bag and we both laughed it off and she gave it to me.
I called her the same night and we talked for hours, and she told me she needed to go to bed as she will be going to work in the morning. I needed to ask her out quickly because I only had about 2 days for me to return to the states, so I decided to ask her out on a date after she came home from work and luckily for me, she said yes. We came home after the date and continued talking on the phone for hours again till we both fell asleep. I flew out the next day to the states and continued our relationship on a long distance. While on a long distance, it never really felt like a long-distance relationship because we talked every single day from the day, I left Ghana until I decided to go back to Ghana again the same year.
Upon my return to Ghana, we had the chance to spend more quality time together, exploring places that Ghana had to offer. I was getting more and more amazed by her beauty, her respectfulness, her kindness, her smartness etc. and I was falling more and more in love with her which I have never felt like ever in my life. I always wanted to be around her and a day that I don’t see her, I do miss her presence so greatly and it was a weird feeling for myself because I thought I could never feel like this for anyone but Nicholina made me feel that way and from that point on, I knew I needed to do something before I leave to the states again so I remember calling my father letting him know that I have found the lover of my life and it’s time for me to propose. I remember secretly shopping for a ring to propose and luckily, found a gorgeous one. On December 29, 2018, I proposed to Nicholina at Aqua Safari Resort, Ghana and the rest is HISTORY!!!!!
Can’t wait to marry this woman and spend the rest of our lives together and create and big beautify family. She is my QUEEN for my life.
