Nnena and Kalu had been together since their university days, even after graduation they still kept in touch. they had plans of getting married. Nnena was not from a wealthy family. After leaving school, fortune did not smile upon her as she couldn't get a job. On the other hand, Kalu was doing well. He was a barrister. He did help Nnena and her family financially, He was loved by her family members.

Disaster struck, Nnena's father died. Funds for burial was not readily available. Kalu came to their rescue. He just loved Nnena so much,he had to help, afterall she was to be his future wife, and the man his father in law.

Few months after, Nnena learnt Kalu had been hospitalized. He was to do a kidney transplant. A donor was needed. Their organs were compatible. She was faced with the choice to either leave him or donate her kidney. Most of her friends told her to leave him since they were not yet married. She just could not, not because of sympathy but because he was truly her soul mate.

Today,they are Married with kids. Truly, I have not seen love like this
