💞 WHO SAYS LOVE CAN’T HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY? THE GBARAMATUVOICE REPORTER WHO FOUND LOVE ON A BUS

The morning was unusually bright on December 18, 2024. The breeze that swept through Kiagbodo, Delta State, carried the scent of something new — though Bella Moses couldn’t have guessed that her life was about to take a turn far greater than the news assignment she was heading to cover.

Her camera hung loosely by her neck, her notepad half-tucked into her bag. She had boarded the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) bus alongside her colleagues from GbaramatuVoice, ready to report the IYC Western Zone Congress. To her, it was just another day in the life of a journalist — early departure, long hours, and a story to tell. But fate had another headline in mind.

Across the aisle sat Donye Vincent Tamaraudenyefa — a calm, observant young man with a smile that seemed to read people’s thoughts. He had noticed her almost instantly, not just because of her poise, but because of the quiet strength in her eyes.

When he finally summoned the courage to speak, he asked with a disarming smile,

“What’s your name?”

She looked up, a little amused, and replied playfully,

“Joy.”

She didn’t think much of it. It was a passing moment — one of those harmless, spontaneous exchanges that dissolve into the noise of everyday life. But something about the way he smiled at the answer lingered.

The congress came and went in the usual blur of speeches, resolutions, and interviews. Bella filed her report that night, exhausted yet fulfilled. What she didn’t know was that while she had written about unity and leadership, destiny had begun writing a story of its own — a story with her at the center.

Days later, her phone buzzed.
It was him.

“Hello, Joy. I just wanted to check if you got home safely.”

That simple message birthed a series of conversations that would stretch into weeks — lighthearted chats about work, faith, and dreams. The more they spoke, the more she realized that Vincent wasn’t just another admirer. He listened. He remembered. He cared.

There was something steady about him — something peaceful.

One evening, during one of their conversations, he said softly,

“Joy, I’m going to marry you.”

She burst into laughter. “You barely know me!” she teased.

But deep down, his words planted a seed she couldn’t quite ignore.

Months rolled by, and their bond deepened. Bella, ever prayerful and cautious, sought divine clarity. She told him she needed time to pray — and he waited. He never pressured, never wavered. Instead, he stood by her, encouraging her dreams and celebrating her progress.

Through her long nights editing reports, through her church commitments and school projects, he was there — patient, present, and kind.

When peace finally settled in her heart, she knew. It wasn’t fireworks or fairytales — it was calm, it was certain, it was love.

Now, that same “Joy” who once boarded a bus on assignment is preparing to walk down the aisle. Their traditional marriage is set for October 31, 2025, in Warri, Delta State, followed by a grand reception on November 2, 2025, at the College of Education, Edjeba.

Looking back, Bella often says with a smile,

“I went to cover a story — but God wrote mine instead.”

Her story is more than romance; it’s a reminder that life’s most beautiful surprises often arrive quietly, hidden in ordinary moments — on a bus ride, during an assignment, or in the laughter of a stranger.

Love, after all, doesn’t always wait for perfect timing. Sometimes, it finds us when we are simply doing what we were called to do.

From the newsroom to the altar, from a casual “Joy” to a lifelong “Yes,” Bella’s journey stands as a testament that love and purpose are not rivals — they are partners, dancing to a rhythm only destiny can compose.
