She Said She Was Not Ready for Marriage, Then Married Someone From Our Village

I remember telling Uju that I wanted to marry her. She said she was not ready because she was about to begin NYSC and wanted to get a master’s degree first. She also said she could not marry someone from our village, even though we are from the same place. She said she wanted someone different. To my surprise, she got married the following month to someone from that same village. It left me confused and taught me not to rely too much on what people say when their actions may change.
