ZINC ENGAGEMENT RING????

If the love of your life proposes to you with a ring that costs about TEN THOUSAND NAIRA,(or less) would you wear it?

Here's a scenario,
John and Jane have been dating for a few years. John is  a successful car dealer.
He takes care of Jane best he can but, he really doesn't see the need for an expensive engagement ring.
It's all about cost for John. He has calculated how much he would spend on wedding rings,venue, drinks, honey moon bla bla bla.

So he doesn't see the need to spend so much on an engagement ring.
His budget is TEN THOUSAND NAIRA.GBAM!!!!

John loves and adores Jane...everyone knows.He's never cheated, lied or hit her ever.And the Sex,according to Jane;"...dey scatta my dada"

Anyway, John finally proposes to Jane at her favorite restaurant in Port Harcourt.
This is what happens;

John goes down on one knee and pops out the ring.At first Jane is pleasantly surprised, then she stares at the ring a little more closely.
As a former Gold-Dealer, she knows real gold from a mile away.
What John has in his hand isn't any where closely related to gold or silver.

WELL-POLISHED ZINC would've described it better.



Jane considers her options as John  kneels down waiting for her answer:

1.politely smile and tell him to stand up,

2.whisper a silent "Guy, you dey fall ma hand" in his ear and then leave,

3.Ignore the cheap zinc of a ring and say yes to the love of her life(in front of all these 'bad belle PH people')
OR

4.make a scene, cry and tell him "NO"(Which kine nonsense b dat?)AND then LEAVE.


In that instant, she decides not to embarrass him, and goes with option 3.

Of course every one at the restaurant(bad belle people included) applauds the newly engaged couple.

About an hour later they are in the car on their way home.

Jane is silent.
Since the Restaurant, John realizes she has barely even glanced at the ring.

"Is everything okay?"John asks.
Jane turns and gives him a very polite smile.
"Yes, it is"

More silence. It was nighttime and they were driving through New GRA.

John is clearly uncomfortable.

"You don't like the ring?" He asks finally.
Jane makes a small scoffing sound
"Please, ask me a serious question"Her tone is rude.

"What is it again,have I done something wrong?" John asks in confusion.

"I really don't want to talk about it" Jane says, with a casual wave of her hand.

"No!" John says, getting a little worked up.
"We must talk about it oh?"John says as if mentally preparing for a "quarrel"

After another long silence,

"Na God go punish you!!!!!"She says calmly

John's Eyes POP open.

"So,  wit all De money wey you get,Na dis Rubber Band you wan take marry me??"Jane's anger is unmistakable as her voice gets louder.

John's face is so SHOCKED , its almost comical.

"...Jane!!You're calling my ring rubber band????"John says, clearly hurt by her.
"Jane,...do you know how much  I bought ......?????
But she cuts him off,

"HOW MUCH??????" Now she's screaming into his face.
"......HOW MUCH WEY YOU BUY DIS ...DIS ZINC????" shoves him violently
John is evidently a combination of Hurt and Angry.
''....Jane,...don't push me again...I'm driving" but the threatening note in his voice is totally ignored by the FURIOUS JANE.

".....EH?...HOW MUCH WEY YOU BUY DIS.......TALISMAN  U WAN TAKE EMBARRASS ME FOR  PH  ....EH...HOW MUCH ...E REACH 5K???????

''FOR YOUR INFORMATION,....!!!!" John retorts.Clearly enraged himself.
".....I BOUGHT IT N7.500, DO YOU KNOW HOW........??????

But his preceding words never make it out because Jane LAUNCHES at him with such  violence, he almost looses control of the car,....AND nearly SKIDS off the road.
"BASTARD!!! FOOL!!! GOD GO PUNISH YOU!!!!!"" She screams as she attacks with her hands, nails....and teeth.
Jane is in PURE WHITE RAGE.

John manages to stop the car on the side of the road.The assault on John continues for another 40 seconds.
 After a few more blows,scratches and bites,...............
 Jane CALMS DOWN!!!

For a long time they just sit in the car trying to catch their breaths.Though she seems calmer, the anger is still very glaring in her eyes.
They remain that way for about another 15 minutes.

Then John starts the car and drives her home.
Not one word passes between them.
When the get to her gate, Jane  FLINGS the ring at John and leaves the car without saying a word

LADIES, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE IF YOU WERE IN JANE'S SHOES?
GUYS DO YOU THINK JOHN SHOULD;
A. Buy her a better ring,
B.Insist on that same ring
OR
C. cancel the engagement



LIFE IS A CHOICE MY FRIEND
SO CHOOSE WISELY
ENOUGH SAID
