Can I get your attention, please” Uche announces from the center of the living room I tap Omoh's shoulders, signaling her to listen.“I’m so happy you all made out time to be here this evening and most of all, I’m delighted that you all are about to witness something I’ve been planning to do for the past three months—”I raise my eyebrows on top of a wide smile at my clueless friend who stared at her boyfriend without words “What is he talking about?” I ask.“I have no idea.” she replies, shaking her head.“Heartbeat, come please” We hear Uche call to my friend who walks like a robot towards him while the crowd cheers for her.He holds her hands, smiling and ogling lovingly into her eyes.
