“Yes but what’s all this , I’d swear your proposing”

“Then you know me too well , , ” Nothando says kneeling down

Allofit began going live on IG ,taking a video, Thandiwe could not believe her eyes in just a week of meeting again here was Nothando proposing with a diamond ring below her , she had to pinch herself to make sure it was really happening,

“ml , will you make me the happiest person alive and marry me , I love you too much to lose you Thandiwe” , whilst Allofit was making his own drama a band came in and played ‘ endless love by Lionel Richie ‘

When Thandiwe let out her left hand noding yes because she was covering her mouth out of shock,

Wedding bells were ringing
