A romantic moment turns into heartbreak as a young man was left kneeling helplessly in public while his girlfriend refuses to turn back during the proposal.
The incident was captured by a lady who said she attended her brother’s convocation ceremony.
In the viral clip shared by @Teniola on X (formally twitter), the man can be seen kneeling with a ring in his hand, while the lady dressed in her graduation gown stood facing the other way, refusing to utter a word or look back.
Onlookers gasped as the emotional scene played out, leaving the man visibly shattered before he eventually walked away.
The eyewitness who filmed the incident wrote: “I went for my brother’s convocation, and this was what I saw.”
The video has since sparked massive reactions online, with many netizens sympathizing with the heartbroken man, while others argued that public proposals should only be done when both partners are emotionally ready.
The viral clip has reignited debates about love, pride, and the risks of public proposals with many agreeing that heartbreak hits differently when it happens in front of a crowd.
