My Matchmaking Experience(part five)

After the whole love triangle hassle between Valentina, Antonio and Danny, we all started rehearsals again the next week and the show was due in 3months.
When we all arrived, we found out that Nathan was back to join us for rehearsals. I know what you are all thinking, who the hell is Nathan? Well he is one of the three guys in the group.
Remember I said that there were three guys and three girls in the group, Nathan couldn’t join us in the beginning of rehearsal because he had to go take care of some family emergency.
We all welcomed him happily and after rehearsals , we all sat down to have breakfast before heading our ways.
Abigail was the first to speak to him, “Nathan, how are you?” He politely told her he was fine but trust Gbemi to always go straight to the point rather than fishing, ” what was the family emergency Nate?” She asked,
” My parents were both sick” he replied.
We all gave our condolences , Gbemi told him she’s sorry but she’s glad that they are better now so he can join us for the rehearsals with full concentration, only for us to get a shocked reply,
“They are not better, they are dead, they were buried last month” Nathan replied, we were beyond sad for him, especially me, for I know how painful it was to loose a parent talk less of two.
It was Valentina who added a bit humour to it and made Nathan smile; ” well atreest you are thrirty, you are wrell tro do, and you can geef them brefitting berrial” she said in her heavily accented English.
We all left that day. Over the remaining weeks of rehearsal, we began to notice that Gbemi and Nathan were getting closer, she made him smile, made him angry but also made him happy. It was odd because they were the opposite of each other.
Nathan is an Igbo guy from Anambra state while Gbemi is from Ondo state. Mind you, I have nothing against it.
Nathan is polite,courteous and patient, while Gbemi is very impatient, and temperamental.
They are like oil and water, but it seemed they complete each other.
We always teased them, but gave them their space .
It was the D day, the day of the show. I was backstage getting them hyped, I told them, ” whatever emotion,grudges,problems, or any other distracting feeling you have tonight, drop them right at this backstage and don’t take any onto that stage because on that stage, you will shine. 6 months of thorough hard work is not going to be blown away because of what you carrying inside of you. So go out there and show people what dance is all about.” And they did, it was a magical moment, the crowd went crazy!!!!
And after the performances, they dragged me on stage and gave me credits, I was proud, I felt like a mother who had done a good job.
And then came the block buster moment, when Nathan went on one knee, and proposed to Gbemi, it was magnificent! And unexpected! And that made the crowd go crazier. She accepted and 5 months later, they were married. Gbemi used to teasingly say, she rushed the wedding because she didn’t want Nathan to see her at her worst soon and run.
She gave birth to their son two weeks ago.
Check in tomorrow for Abigail’s love story.
