It was a Saturday evening in April 2013 at an ELCSASO VUT Alumni homecoming event. I saw a very beautiful lady sitting quietly alone. Right there I thought there will never be an opportunity like this ever again! Quick on my feet, I forcefully took fundraising goodies from one sister and approached the lady sitting at the top row in the auditorium. My salesman skills disappointed me on the night as I was sent packing after I tried to sell the goodies to her. Filled with embarrassment, I knew I needed a redemption. Looking down at the podium, I saw a group from one of the universities rendering an item. I then pointed at a random lady and claimed her as my girlfriend. Obviously this lady didn't take it lying down and asked me why I didn't go sell those goodies to my girlfriend. About few months later I got her BBM pin from a good friend of mine who also happened to be her cousin. Kea leboga Pheladi Mojapelo.
I was attending an ELCSASO(church) youth event when I was suddenly approached by this guy selling sweets. I politely expressed that I wasn't interested but he insisted. See, love at first sight will remain a foreign concept in my life! I now found myself in this uncomfortable position whereby I am being forced to buy an item I don't even like! So I repeatedly said, "I'm not interested". He then chuckled and pointed to a certain lady, stating "there is my girlfriend, I'm only pushing business." I remember ending up being rude in my response; an attempt to put an end to that conversation "then buy her all the sweets in that packet and leave me alone". I never imagined that the awkward experience would amount to anything. Fast forward to months later, I got a BBM invite and as the saying goes: "The rest is history".
It was a Saturday night, in PTA with some friends and very intoxicated. I got a call from my potential girlfriend inviting me to a church service in JHB the following day. I risked my life driving late at night, in that state back to Germiston where I was residing at that time to catch a little sleep and be fresh for the service. Great service and more than anything I was happy to have been considered for an invite.
As a Wits student, our ELCSASO branch was also apart of the St. Thomas congregation. When they announced hosting a culture day celebration and encouraged us to invite a friend, I couldn't miss the opportunity to invite him. At this point we had established a strong connection which saw us spending hours on end talking on the phone.
I went for a kill on that day. By the end of lunch I had told her what my intentions were, what I wanted in life, what I wanted from a relationship, how many kids I wanted and where I would love to settle. I just couldn't stop blabbing but I obviously did well, Ohh, she wanted to share the bill, which I arrogantly turned down.
We finally decided to have an official lunch date. I remember clearly expressing that I prefer Braamfontein as I would easily use the bus service and
wouldn't have to rely on him(lol). A successful lunch date it was. We had plenty to talk about yet so little time!
Highlight: When the bill came and I was Miss independent as usual. I gave him a tough time, with a student bank balance! I eventually gave in because
month end was still far. I needed to show him that I wasn't there to just spend his money. I needed to make it clear that I cannot be bought.
He walked me to the main campus gate where I took a bus ride back to res, beaming with smiles.
We met for late lunch into dinner. Ncaww he brought me a red rose as a romantic gesture. I've always been a private person and bumping into church mates on a date
was an unexpected turn of events. I regretted meeting at a common place but I had to suck it up and enjoy my date in peace. We shared a meal as well as genuine conversations
which still hold true to this day.
Highlight: Always bringing doggy bags from dates because I'd always be too excited to eat. My varsity friends will tell you how well the food went down with detailed
conversations in my room after dates (lol). Nthabiseng le Kutlwano can attest to this any day.
I made sure I pull my A game. Our church mates saw us and her reaction was: I don't care! This gave me an impression that we were getting somewhere.
This is the first day he made a brave move to hold my hand at Cresta mall - one of the little things I enjoy always :)
The day on which we had our first mbaaa upon departure (lol). Waka tell the people what happened with our mode of transport...
I will share this on the 30th, Its quite a funny story.
I was never a soccer fan. When he invited me to FNB stadium, I thought to myself, a date at a soccer game? Then I later realized; who
better to experience my first Soweto Derby with, than him? I thank God I tagged along because so much fun was had. Soweto Derby will
forever mark a date that sealed the deal. To this day I sometimes watch soccer in his absence (Please don't tell him this lol).
We were officially girlfriend and boyfriend on the 31st of October 2015.
I invited her to watch the Soweto derby live at the stadium. This was on the 31st of October 2015, We can safely say on this day we officialized
our relationship. Let me mention that she forced me to "Fereya" her. Kept insisting "You can't claim we are together without o mfereya, ke sale
ke swere mafofa?" I even suspected she was recording because she wasn't backing down!
Highlight: When she told me she is buying a "baby brown" the following day for any lady that comes anyway near me. I knew its official official official! lol.
Thanks to Manoko and Mathule for the double date invite to the derby. This was followed by countless dates including many at the res parking lot. We would stay up till the wee
hours forgetting that we both had classes in the morning. We need to give special thanks to Marcus Makwena Lamola for his funding of our early mjolo dates. Everyone knows there's
only so much we could've done as students. Rea o leboga.
The long drivers back to Pretoria in the AM's will be better explained by you love.
Modiba family visited Mathekga family at Bolobedu village to express their interest and ask for my hand in marriage, It was a very intimate meeting where both families shared a meal and made future plans regarding his intentions. What a beautiful memory ❤
Lobola finalization and one day tradional wedding celebration. Our close friends and family joined us to celebrate this milestone. We thank God for such a blessing.
We were blessed with a healthy baby girl, Ledile Mohlopi Modiba. Your arrival has filled our hearts with so much joy. Our bundle of joy who's not
so little anymore. The entertainer we never knew we needed. Everyday is a reminder of how God has blessed us immensely with you.
