On a casual Friday night out with her friends in March 2013, Lilian Nuwabaine met Frederick Luyima. Frederick, who was also out with his friends admired Lilian\u2019s smile and asked her to join him for a drink.<\/p>\n

\n

As they got into conversation, Frederick started to notice a number of qualities that he wanted in a potential partner. Lilian was not only beautiful, she was also intelligent and as the evening was about to end, he asked for her phone number so he could keep in touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In her final year pursuing a bachelor of Sciences in Nursing, Lilian did not want any distractions and, therefore, did not pay much attention to Frederick. However, because they had exchanged contacts, he would call her often and it was during one of these phone calls that he expressed interest in being more than her friend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On several occasions, he also invited Lilian for outings where he would treat her to sumptuous meals and experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She naturally began appreciating the traits of humility, kindness, patience, love and Frederick\u2019s sense of humour. He did not rush her, which boosted her confidence and trust that he was committed to wait for her to make up her mind. And because love is patient, Frederick, an operations integrity manager at SGS Automotive Uganda Limited, waited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lilian, a midwife and women\u2019s health specialist at Aga Khan University, says as they kept meeting, she realised that Frederick was a patient and loving man. He was more drawn in by the fact that Lilian was a go-getter who would not stop until she got what she wanted.
