As the night wore on, the group's laughter and chatter filled the air. They were all thrilled about Ben and Amaka's engagement, and the excitement was infectious.

Chioma, however, couldn't shake off the feeling that Mary's comment had sparked within her. She had given up on the idea of finding love, especially after Ben had fallen for Amaka.

But Mary's words had awakened a glimmer of hope within her. Maybe, just maybe, she would find her own happily ever after.

As the night drew to a close, the friends said their goodbyes and promised to meet up again soon. Chioma walked home, lost in thought, wondering what the future held for her.

Little did she know, fate had already set something in motion. A chance encounter was just around the corner, one that would change Chioma's life forever.

Meanwhile, Ben and Amaka were basking in the glow of their engagement. They spent the rest of the night lost in each other's eyes, dreaming of their future together.

As they sat on the couch, holding hands, Ben turned to Amaka and said, "You know, I've been thinking..."

Amaka's eyes sparkled with excitement. "What about?" she asked.

Ben smiled mischievously. "I was thinking that maybe we should have a summer wedding."

Amaka's face lit up with joy. "That sounds perfect!" she exclaimed.

And with that, the planning began. They spent the rest of the night discussing venues, guest lists, and all the other details that came with planning a wedding.

Their love was growing stronger by the day, and they couldn't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.
