THE PROPOSAL

It's Valentine's day and Tolu's friend, Emmanuella called her phone to inform her of her intention to visit Tolu. Are you home today? She asked. Then Tolu told her yes as she had no plans for valentine. I have a good news to share with you, she continued. Without hearing what the goodnews was, Tolu was already excited for her friend. Lol. So She told Emma that she looks forward to seeing her and they ended the conversation.

Two hours later,  Tolu heard a knock on her door. On opening the door, it was Emmanuella, her friend.  Then they exchanged pleasantries, excited to see each other; they hugged so well and she offered her a seat. We have so much to catch up on, Emma said as she had her seat.

So they started gisting; old times gist. They left no stone unturned. They do not hide things from each other. They talk about anything and everything. As they continued their discusssion, Tolu was eager to hear the main gist, so she asked Emma about what she wanted to tell her .

Then she started;  He proposed.  Who proposed? Tolu asked. Deji? And she jumped up in excitement and said YES.  Immediately tears ran through Tolu's eyes. She was angry and sad at the same time. Here is her friend all smiles and happy but Tolu is exactly the opposite right now.

Emmanuella didn't notice the tears and she continued talking about how the proposal went. How he surprised her. How people were around taking pictures of the moment, she was wowed. She then proceeded to tell Tolu that She will be her chief bridesmaid. She already had a dream wedding and was excited that it will come to pass.

When she noticed Tolu hadn't said a word or reply to all she was saying, she turned to Tolu to ask why she wasn't talking, then she looked into her eyes and realised Tolu has been crying all along.

She got angry and felt Tolu wasn't happy for her. Tolu tried to explain things to her but Emma flared up. Tolu was able to calm her down and started her explanation.

But just before Tolu started; She went into the kitchen to get them water to drink............

Why was Tolu weeping?
Was she jealous?
Was she not happy for her friend?
What exactly is the problem?
