Growing up,I knew my brother to be a very serious man. A man who understands the thick line between Success and Failure..He was always willing to learn something new,whether abstract or real.. One of those things he had always wished to understand was "Love".. My lovely brother cared to know what love is really is ..He wished to know why even the strongest of men have fallen victim to this "special tag" . He took his time to research about the term "Love".. He wished to know whether love was real or not.. He wanted to unravel the mystery surrounding the existence of "Love"..
After some couple of researches he undertook himself, he came to a conclusion that "Love doesn't exist"..He believed that love was an abstract feeling granted popularity by man..Ever since then,my brother has always maintained a strong view against love.. He hated the word..He disliked the site of lovers.. He saw them as "Fake beings".. Anytime a love movie was been showed on TV,he either changed the channel or leave the arena..It was humorous.. My sisters were amazed by his sudden self-carved philosophy..His friends nicknamed him "Prof. Love"..He became more popular day by day,for his anti-love actions..
A year ago, while he was having his National Youth Service Scheme in Edo State,something mysterious struck him..My brother encountered a life-changing phenomenon..According to him,he was together with his friends one day at one of the project sites for youth corpers, when he met a lady..The lady was by name Kemi.. My brother got swept away by the beauty of Kemi..He tried resisting,but he couldn't help.. He noted that he was so deeply moved by her beauty that for once in his life, he asked A lady out..Unlucky for him,his famousity counted against him..Kemi,together with other corps members had heard about his strong views against Love.. She rejected my brother's proposal for a date..Things changed faster than expected..My brother was in love.. He couldn't bear the agony of not seeing Kemi for a day..Kemi became a special being in his eyes..He hardly slept most of the times..He didn't want his friends to hear about the development.. He would surely be mocked.. He tried silencing his feelings.. He couldn't act against his philosophy,he believed..
His feelings failed to die down.. They were waging stronger each and every day..He couldn't encompass them any longer..He called Kemi one day,to tell her about his feelings.. He was shaking as he expressed himself..Kemi couldn't hold her laughter..She felt heaven was getting loose.. No one believed "Prof.Love" could fall in love.. Kemi couldn't help but cut the conversation when she couldn't bear the laughter anymore..The news spread like an "Epidemic". Prof. Love is in Love",was the statement on every corp member's lips.. My brother was devastated..He couldn't bear the scene of friends mocking him..But,he couldn't help himself either..He believed the feeling was super-natural,it was above his control..
Weeks after this,my brother took a big step..It was Valentine's day,a day he had always campaigned against..At a special party organised by the corp members to celebrate the day,my brother created a scene.. After the Master of the Ceremony (M.C) had kick started his event and everyone was catching fun,my brother took to the stage.. He picked the Microphone, switched off the music player,and went down on his knees to asked for Kemi's hands in marriage..Everyone were amazed by the turn of event.. Kemi couldn't hold her tears..Yes,she pronounced...It was a special day,not only to the my brother and Kemi,but to every corps member that were present at the venue..The mood was beyond describable.. Everyone got a view of what it really meant to love.. It was an amiable occasion for everyone that was present..
After months of courtship, filled with amazing love,care and friendship,my brother and Kemi took the alter..They became united legally and spiritually into a single soul,with two separate bodies.. The occasion was an unforgettable one..It was really really interesting.. Everyone got a chance to see the famous 'Prof. Love' speak about Love.. According to him,"Love is a mystery,every being must experience in order to appreciate Life"..
Love is Real....!!!
