Confused, puzzled and wordless, she remained still, like a stagnant water.

She wants to have a say in a decision that might affect the rest of her life, but now that it's time to do, she's helpless.

Her thoughts eddying around aimlessly.

She's to choose just one of her three suitors.

How sweet...

How sweet would it have been, if she could have the trio? Aaawwwn!!!

Soft and moist lips, gentle touch, a ravishing look, perfect height and shape, best describe Handsome. He's an every woman's crush.

"That's my man", every woman can confidently say, if she she has Awesome. He's man enough, can protect you and give you all the care ever wanted. With him, no worries, he was always there.

What can't you afford as his wife? La dolce vita lies under your feet. Cashsome can buy you anything. Moreover, everyone respects a richman's wife.

She was already confused before her friend worsened her plight.

"Marrying a rich man doesn't guarantee comfort, your husband can be a miser", Sophia had said.

If you marry a handsome man and other women like him too, your marriage might not last.

"At times, people are pretensive till they get what they want, so, what if the other one turns into a beast after marriage?" she concluded.

Philo discovered even Sophia, revered for her wisdom could not help matters.

It's a black market.

She decided to trust God and pled with her father for some time.

He obliged.
