When I saw her on that suggested list, she looked like the girl I had seen at church.\u00a0 I added her as a friend. That was around 2018. After adding her as a friend, I sent her a message.

She didn\u2019t reply to my subsequent messages and yet I didn\u2019t have her number so kept on texting but there was no response until after two years. Can you imagine, two years?<\/p>\n<p>I sent her a message after the first Covid lockdown and she responded. That\u2019s when she became very active and gave me attention. She was very anxious to meet me when I asked her for her number.

She was a quiet and shy person. I remember her refusing to eat anything I offered to buy her, not even a drink because aside from her dad, I was the first man in her life to take her out. I reminisce telling her that I wish she could give some of her hair to my children. That was my way of complimenting her that she has very beautiful natural hair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15406\" src=\"https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/rebecca-introduces-gideon-6.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/rebecca-introduces-gideon-6.jpg 852w, https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/rebecca-introduces-gideon-6-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/rebecca-introduces-gideon-6-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/rebecca-introduces-gideon-6-768x1154.jpg 768w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo from there, we became friends. I kept her as a friend. We could meet as whenever she came to town. She started getting more interested in meeting me. At some point, I started courting her but she told me to give her time, time to pray and think about it. And when she came back to town, like the following week she told me \u201cit\u2019s fine we can date\u201d. That\u2019s how we started our dating but from the beginning, it was not easy because I only saw her once at the church gathering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15396\" src=\"https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gideon-kaddu-weds-rebecca-4.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gideon-kaddu-weds-rebecca-4.jpeg 852w, https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gideon-kaddu-weds-rebecca-4-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gideon-kaddu-weds-rebecca-4-682x1024.jpeg 682w, https:\/\/mikolo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/gideon-kaddu-weds-rebecca-4-768x1154.jpeg 768w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe didn\u2019t expect me to ask her out.
