          He hoped the songs would tell his wife how much he was sorry and how deep he still cared for her. He checked the wall clock, it was after six, food will soon be ready but all he was hungry for was his wife.

          Someone helping you realize the truth is different from you facing the truth yourself, it’s called THE MOMENT OF TRUTH. Funmi was facing her own moment of truth in the kitchen while Seyi was in his study. Her earpiece was stuck in her ear and she was listening to Ngozi’s playlist. She reflected on everything they spoke about and she was sorry for herself. She didn’t know the termites has eaten deep into her house until Ngozi opened her eyes to it. She couldn’t believe she has been hurting her husband and using the children!

          Her heart contracted with pain and shame. With all the ingredients in the pot, she retrieved her lyrics file from the kitchen taller and studied it while listening to them. It was a hard task for her, she wanted to pick more than for songs but finally, she decided on, SORRY by Justin Bieber, STICK WITH YOU by Pussycat Dolls, MELO MELO by Olamide and I LOVE YOU by Dotun Taylor ft. Yinka Davie and Kolade Onanuga. She listened and read the lyrics one more time before writing it down.

          While listening to these songs, she remembered her wedding vows. They had both decided to write their vows instead of following the normal vows. Sometimes when she missed the old times with her husband, she would try to remember her vows but she wouldn’t remember but strangely everything came rushing back today. Suddenly she was overcome by the need to say her vows to her husband.

          She closed the gas tank and raced to her room taking the stairs two at a time. Though their vows were written one line for each person to saw after the other but she was ready to say both of their lines if her husband didn’t remember. She opened the door with a bang and her husband flew up with a start. She stood by the door and began their vows.

Funmi:
You have searched,
I have waited,
Many I have seen before you,
None was you.

          Seyi was almost dozing off when he was rudely awakened by the door, he was scared something had happened when he saw Funmi standing at the door but a silly smile was playing on her mind. He was about to ask for her sudden behavior when she began saying some words, not until she said the fourth line did he realized she was saying their wedding vows, just like yesterday, every word came back to his heart and his mouth said.

Seyi: Love was a myth before you,
Funmi: Same I thought too,
Seyi: You changed everything, 
Funmi: That’s because you are my everything.

          Seyi got down from the bed and started moving towards Funmi, Funmi took a step closer to her husband with every word she said.

Seyi: You are mine.
Funmi: Like honey is to the bee.
Seyi: And you are mine.
Funmi: And together we will always be.

           

          They met at the center of the room, Seyi extended his open palms to his wife, she dropped her hands into his. They stared into each other’s eyes, breathing in each other’s air.

 

Seyi: I promise to always cherish you.
Funmi: I will live to please you.
Seyi: And if I ever hurt you,
Funmi: Please know I’ll hurt more than you.

Seyi: If I ever go astray,
Funmi: I won’t let you go too far.
Seyi: If I want to go away,
Funmi: I promise we will go together.

          Seyi drew Funmi into an embrace, he held her softly like a baby, Funmi wrapped her hand around her husband. Her head was on his chest, exactly where his heart was, there was no sweeter rhythm in the world to her ears.

 

Seyi: Your body I will adore.
Funmi: Your bed I will keep hot.
Seyi: You with sweet words I will lure.
Funmi: And I will never say not.

Seyi: No job, no one, and nothing shall come between us,
Funmi: No friend, no family shall hear what’s wrong with us,
Seyi: I will always only be yours,
Funmi: Because I am only yours.

          Seyi moved a bit back to afford him the space he needed to look into his wife’s eyes. He held her face in both of his hands, tipping her face up to meet his gaze. Funmi tightened her arms around her husband, tears rolling down silently has it did on their wedding day and together they chorused the last simple but powerful verse of their vows.

 

Mine.
Mine!
Mine!!
And mine!!!

         Their lips locked in a gentle kiss filled with love, pains, regrets, apologies and hope.
