The Umbrella That Brought 2 People Together☔❤️
Rain started at 5:45pm. Lagos rain. No warning.
Bus stop was packed. Everyone running.
Amaka didn’t have umbrella. She was holding her files to her chest. Job interview in 10 minutes and she looked like wet chicken.
Then this guy next to her opened a big black umbrella.
*Guy:* `Come under. You’ll spoil those papers.`
*Amaka:* `Thank you... I have interview.`
*Guy:* `Me too. GTBank. 6pm.`
*Amaka:* `Me too!! First Bank. 6pm.`
They laughed. Same rain, same wahala.
Rain wasn’t stopping. 5:55pm. If they waited for bus they’d be late.
*Guy:* `We fit run? My office is just 2 streets away.`
*Amaka:* `Let’s go. Hold umbrella well o.`
They ran together. One umbrella, two people, one mission. `splash splash`
They got to their offices drenched but on time.
Amaka got the job. The guy, Tunde, also got his.
3 months later, Amaka was at a work event. She saw Tunde across the room. Also with umbrella.
*Tunde:* `Fancy seeing you here. Still borrowing umbrella?`
*Amaka:* `Only if you’re the one holding it.`
They started talking. Then dating. Then 1 year later...
On their first anniversary, Tunde proposed. With the same black umbrella. Inside it was the ring and a note: `The day rain brought us together. Will you stay under my umbrella forever?`
Amaka said yes. Crying and laughing.
Till today, anytime it rains in Lagos, they post a picture: Two people, one umbrella.
Caption: `Started with files. Ended with forever.`
*Moral:* Sometimes God uses rain to wash people into your life.
