You know that thing they say “it just happened” but really if you play prior moments you would realize it didn’t just happen. Several things had already happened and you only just noticed. So, let me take my memory back to my very first moment.

I had just joined this ministry in church I always wanted to join but excuses over the years made it difficult for me until that time and I was attending my first monthly meeting. I remember standing up for first timers and introducing my self, after the introduction we (first timers) where asked to wait and our details would be collected plus a chance to pick a department in that ministry to join. I remember the lady saying oh Dr so and so was not around and he’s in charge of medical team, I said okay. The next month, we had our meeting and that same lady was like “oh Dr so and so is around so those that want to join the medical team meet him, in all of this I do not even know the person but I remembered this person coming to ask me to put down my name and my number. My first impression was. Oh!! He smells nice and that was all.

Pass forward to the next moment I remembered was during our yearly biggest project, that day I had flu and I needed to take an allergy drug to enable me function well so I met this same Dr, unknown to me he was that same person but I just asked for an allergy drug and I was directed to get it this was I think in October. Pass forward to December the very last Sunday of the year that was when I fully acknowledged and noticed this person yet I still didn’t know this person’s name. I remember that day pastor asked we hug or shake our neighbors as a norm in my church but I would never do that with the opposite sex no matter What. So I turned to my neighbor and there he was, I didn’t hug or shake but I really did look at this person and I knew I have seen him before. He looked good and towards the end of the service I realized oh he plays the instrument. You’re not only a doctor but you play instrument in church and that was admirable.

We moved into the new year and every Sunday day I would notice this brother in church and yea I know how to look so I would look to my feel at a point during one of the services in the first quarter of the year I said to God “please let it not be in your house I’m admiring somebody’s husband oh” because it’s not going to be funny and above all, that is not Godly and I know God will not even allow that so maybe he is single. In all of these I was in one thing that looked like a relationship and as we crossed over to the new year I was already pulling my self out, on a good day I would write about that experience with that somebody.

On this fateful day, the very first Monday in the month of march of that year, why do I remember right? I had a delivery to pick up that came earlier than expected and it was close to where I was doing my internship. By the by, I had started my internship in a teaching hospital a month ago and I was already on my second unit posting. On that good day I was gisting a senior colleague of mine about my already crashed relationship and saying how I was tired and I wasn’t doing relationship again and that I was married to God completely, while gisting my experience I remember one of my superiors laughing at my gist and telling me I was funny, in my heart I was like “na my true story be this oh I no Dey crack joke”. I also remember in a blurry way someone was standing at a distance but I didn’t pay attention because that’s a hospital and people are everywhere. After I was done gisting that person came close and when I looked up hehehehehehhehe there he was at my table, my new admiration I was like “I know you, we attend same church, we are in same ministry and you play the instrument but I don’t know your name what are you doing here” actually, he was passing by and saw me and decided to stop by. we where both smiling and he introduced him self and that was when I knew his name then I said “you’re a surgeon here oh nice” that was how we got talking like old time friends a passerby would never believe that was our first real conversation. In the midst of our conversation I got to find out he was single and I said in my mind “God would never make me admire someone’s husband like that in church”. We kept gisting he said how he noticed me and I told him I know, I told him the day and what I was putting on, I told him I knew that day we actually noticed each other. He said he thought I was in prayer warrior because I wore same color of fabric with them and probably I was serving punishment that was why I sat there but as time would go he noticed I still sat there and he began to wonder what my offense was etc. after we where done gisting he was like “I don’t mean to make you shy or make you so conscious but I like the way you dance in church and I wish I could dance a little bit of what you dance” I laughed and said “don’t worry nothing would change and then I told him you actually smell nice you know and he was blushing hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
