Olatunji is a special man. He know how to make me happy. During our dating days, he gave me the best gift ever. It was a beautiful picture frame. But not just any frame ,this one have my photo in it,With flowers too. I loved it so much.
Olatunji and I met nine years ago at the market. I was working at a makeup shop. He walk by and smile at me. I smile back at the handsome young man. He come over and say hello. We start talking. I liked his friendly way and kind eyes. He ask me out for a drink and I say yes.
For our first date, we go to a store near the market. We talk for hours over chilledfanta Olatunji told me about himself. He is an engineer. From a good family. He love sports and listening to music. He make me laugh with funny stories. I enjoy his company very much. We have so much in common. I told him about my life too. We got along well. The date went great.
Over the next months, Olatunji and I had date many times. We go to movies, out for dinner, to the park. We have fun just hanging out too. We like spending time together. Our friendship grow stronger. I did care for Olatunji deeply. I can see he care for me too.
One day, Olatunji surprise me with a special gift for no reason. He give me a big box wrapped in pretty paper. I open it and see the most beautiful picture frame inside. But inside the frame is a photo of me!l. Olatunji had the frame custom made with my portrait in it. It is surrounded by delicate dried flowers that match my skin tone. The whole thing is so thoughtful and artistic. I am amazed.
I loved the gift so much. I gave Olatunji a huge hug and kiss. He smile shyly and say he commission the gift from an artist friend of his. He say he wanted me to have something pretty to remind me of him when he is not around. I was truly touched. It is the most personal and creative gift I have ever receive.
From that day, the picture frame become my most prized possession. I put it on my dresser in my bedroom. Every morning when I wake up, I see the frame and think of Olatunji. It make me smile. The dried flowers stay fresh-looking for over a year. The frame never tarnish. It is perfect.
For the rest of our dating years, and even now that we are married, that frame is special to me. It show me how much Olatunji care about me even back then. It show his thoughtful and artistic side that he don't always share. I love looking at my photo surrounded by the delicate flowers every day. It remind me of the man I am lucky to call my husband.
That gift from Olatunji during our dating days is the best one I ever receive. It is more meaningful than any expensive jewels. It is a constant symbol of his love for me. Even simple pleasures like the picture frame can be precious reminders of happy times. Olatunji put so much thought into that artistic gift. I will cherish it forever.
