<\/p>\nThirteen years ago, Flavia Oketcho met Richard Lubega. His sharp dressing caught her eye.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor a musician, I could not believe how calm and soft spoken he was. He was also quite the gentleman and to me that was a plus,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n
As for Lubega, also known by stage name of Chizzo, it was her personality that drew her towards him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe met over a game of pool and she was so determined to beat me that it just attracted me more and more to her,\u201d Lubega, who describes himself as \u2018one who is not afraid to say what is on his mind as long as he believes in it\u2019, reveals.<\/p>\n
Not one made for losing, Oketcho, known to many as \u2018Flirsh\u2019 is probably the most decorated basketball player in the country. The JKL Lady Dolphins and Gazelles (the national basketball team) captain says she made friends with him and like that, it was not hard for him to win her trust and later on, her heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was easy. He could never hide how much he loves me. I knew I was in safe hands,\u201d she elatedly says.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He chips in: \u201cI guess some things you just know.\u00a0 Maybe it was because we love the same things; music, sports and a good life. She is also very family-oriented and very organised at home which is always a massive plus. After the pool encounter, she has made it a habit to try and beat me at table tennis, my favourite hobby,\u201d he says, with a smile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAt what point did you trust him with your heart?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome memories I have to keep to myself, they are sweetest this way but I know for sure my heart is always safe with him,\u201d she responds.<\/p>\n
The dating stage was probably the most beautiful phase.<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen never forget. I could fill the universe with what we did and on which day or what he wore to where but what matters most is everything I felt,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
The two, who are yet to tie the knot say it is more about when than if. The couple has decided to take it slow and not to rush.<\/p>\n
