The three men looked very handsome and Dashing which immediately attracted the attention of all the other girls in the Canteen.
The three young men walked to our Table as I expected." What's going on here Mia? " Clover asked In a hushed tone." I don't know too but let's watch and see what happens. " I replied her.
" Hello, girls. " The three young men greeted when they got to our table.
" Hi, guys. " Sasha and her friends replied them Smiling.
" Can we seat? " One of them asked.
" Of course, where are my manners, am sorry. " Sasha quickly replied as she offered them a seat on the chairs surrounding the table.
After Settling down.
" By the way Sasha, who are these two beautiful ladies? " Jeremy the tallest of guys inquired referring to Clover and me.
" Oh! I completely forgot to introduce you guys, Clover, Mia, meet Jeremy, Joseph and John. " She replied.
" Wow!!! I didn't know you had such beautiful Friends, Sasha. " John complimented.
" Friends my foot! " Clover muttered under her breath but I heard it.
" Clover, keep calm! " I told her and she finally relented.
" Of course I do, Why wouldn't I, I look beautiful so I must have beautiful Friends too or have you forgotten about the famous quote which says ' Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. ' " Sasha replied proudly.
" Hmmmn, have you guys ordered yet? " Jeremy asked." No, we haven't, we were waiting for you guys as it won't be good for us to start eating without you guys here. " Lizzy was the one that answered." Oh! So what would you guys like to have, don't hold back as you can order whatever you want, the bill is on me? " Jeremy Announced.
" Wow!!! " The girls Exclaimed." We won't hold back then. "
" Waiter! " Sasha called out and immediately a young lady of about Eighteen Came running.
" Yes, Mam. " She replied.
" Get us Three boxes of Chicken Pizza and Three bottles of Soda drink... " Sasha paused as she turned to the guys.
" What would you guys like to have? " She asked.
" Oh! A bottle of Red Wine is okay. " John replied.
" Okay..., You heard that right? " Sasha asked the Waiter.
" Yes, I did Mam. " The Waiter replied.
" Okay, you can leave to get our orders now, We'll be waiting. " Sasha told the waiter.
" Okay, Ma. " The Young girl replied and Left." Wait, did you order for Mia and Clover? " Jeremy suddenly asked and I was shocked as I didn't expect him to pay so much attention to us that he even remembered our names and also that we didn't place any orders.
" Oh! " Sasha said in ' Realization '
" Such a pretender, She did it intentionally! " Clover muttered.
" Don't Worry, we are okay. " I replied.
" Are you Sure? " He asked.
" Yes. " I replied.
" Okay, if you say so. " He replied.
" Umm, Sasha I heard that you've gotten a tutor for yourself, is that true? " John asked.
" Of course, I have and you know she's one of a kind and I am really satisfied with her and also with her as my tutor I am confident that I'll pass my upcoming Final examination Excellently. " Sasha replied proudly.
" Wow, that's good, you see I also need a personal tutor for myself as I also need to pass the final examination. " John said and Clover and I both looked at each other surprised.
' Is he also a final year student? ' Clover and I communicated with our eyes.
" You have a tutor Sasha? " Lily asked and I could see the surprise in her eyes.
' What's going on here? ' I thought.
" Of course I do! "
" Who's she? " The guys asked in Unison.
" Well, she's not my tutor as she's a student like me but she's more intelligent and smarter than me. " Sasha replied and I could feel the irony in her tone." So who's She? "" It's her. " Sasha replied pointing in my direction." When did you become a Teacher, Mia? " Clover asked me.
" Dunno. " I replied.
" Wait, You are The One Sasha talks about, right? "
" What, Me? " I asked Confused.
" Can you please agree to be my Tutor too, Mia? "
" When did I become a Teacher? " I asked now facing Sasha.
" But you are the most intelligent student in our class, right? "
" So? " I asked neither denying it nor accepting.
" So I thought that maybe you could... "
"Sasha?, So this is your plan all along? "
" No, no... "" So? "
" I indeed want you to be my Tutor. " She admitted.
" Oh! And why should I agree to that? " I asked.
" Because my mom said so. "
" Oh! I didn't realize that students now lie with their mom's name. " I replied amused.
" I am not lying, Mia! " She insisted.
" Whatever, I am not interested in being your tutor you can find one elsewhere. " I replied already on my feet.
" Why? "
" You still have the guts to ask that, Sasha? , after all, you have done? "
" What have I done? "
" It's useless Arguing with you, let's leave here, Clover. " I said.
" Alright, let's go. "
" Wait, why are you guys leaving so early, why don't you stay for a while. " Jeremy Suggested.
" It's okay, we are not staying, bye. " I said as I walked towards the door with Clover trailing behind me.
" That's how she is, Arrogant as always, just because she knows how to Solve some Questions in Physics and Chemistry makes her feel like she knows it all. " Sasha Mocked.
" True, but still I don't think she's that intelligent Though because if she was why would she still need to listen attentively while the teacher teaches? "
" Senseless! " I heard Clover mutter as we walked out of the Canteen.
A father's concern.Author's POVAs Clover and Mia walked to their Estate, Clover was seriously thinking about what happened earlier as it's so absurd." What are you thinking so deeply about, Clover? " Mia asked." Well, I am still wondering why Sasha said something like that, why would she want you to be her tutor when she never liked you? "" Hmmn, you are right, I don't know the reason though but I have got this gut feeling that she has a plan. " Mia replied." Do you think so? "" I do, Sasha looks pure and innocent but I think she is not as innocent as she looks. "" Why do you think that, Mia? " I asked Suprised." Isn't it obvious? , She has those three guys as her friends and Even though they look so young and charming I don't think that that's all that is to it, there's something suspicious about those three guys. "" What do you think is suspicious about them? "" Where do you think they got the money they are Spending From? "" Perhaps their parents are rich. " " I don't

" " Am fine Mom. " I replied." Okay, come out soon alright. " She urged." Alright, Mom " I replied.Soon after I replied I turned off the shower and dried up my body with my yellow Towel before I wore my pink bathrobe, I walked out of the bathroom in my bathrobe, by then my Mom had already left.'

Pain.After the call ended I couldn't help but think about Clover's situation, though Clover was always happy and Smiling she still had some hidden pain and scars, that's why I love the quote, ' don't judge anyone because you know their names but not their story, you notice their cuts but not their scars, you see their smile but not their pain, you can read their lips but not their minds. 'Clover's Mom left her when she saw just Twelve and Since then she had been all alone with her Nanny as her father was a businessman who hardly had any time for her, Months after her mother's death, her father brought in a woman who he claimed was his secretary, he said that he was going to get married to her and she would become his wife, Clover was very hurt because she was very well aware of how much her mom loved her father and was willing to sacrifice anything for him but it didn't even take her father up to a year to decide that he was going to take a second wife.

Chapter 13 * Remember God is with you and he will be with you unto the end. * **** ----- Mia ----- * Many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord delivers them out of it all. * I didn't know where this came from but the words just kept ringing in my mind as I prepared to sleep that night. Earlier I saw in the headlines how christains were being persecuted in the northern part of the country. They are being denied Job promotions while some aren't granted paid employment. Christians are being exploited and mistreated... All because they believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christain schools are also being shut down as some gunmen kept barging into the schools to afflict the students, especially the female children. Whenever I hear of female students being sexually abused... I feel that pain in my heart. That one that was really very difficult to fear. Sometimes... It feels like my heart is being ripped off my chest and it really hurts a lot. Like seriously! I f
Chapter 14 * God loves you! * **** Meanwhile, in Clover's Home. Her father and step mother were having a heated discussion on what was going on. " Sometimes I wonder if being a Christian is worth all these persecutions. " Linda commented. " Why do you say that, Honey? " Adrian, Clover's Dad whipped his head towards her. " Isn't it obvious? Christians are being murdered, exploited, denied their rights all because they believe in Christ! " " Um... What's your point? " " Isn't it better being an unbeliever and be free than being a Christian and suffering from all these persecutions? For what actually? " Linda said sharply. " For the joy of the Lord. " " Ah! Haven't you heard that if you need fast money and happiness you must not rely on God? As you'll only be disappointed. " " But the wealth of the Lord lasts forever and will add no pain and suffering to it... Unlike the one that comes from the devil. " " Forever ah! Who knows when one will die? Isn't it better to enjoy all t
Chapter 15* Believe in the living saviour. *****---- Clover ----All my life I have been a Christian but mainly a church goer. Yes... I believed in the Lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that he's Lord of all...I also believed that he died for the sins of all man kind... But that was only what I knew.I never felt the need to have a more deeper and intimate relationship with my Lord. I didn't realize that I don't have to struggle all by myself as my Lord is more than ready to help me and all I needed to was to simply ask. I knew God loves me since everyone believes so.And John 3:16 also agreed with it too.As it says, * For God so loves the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. *I know this... But I never for once personalized it.I never knew God loves me so much that he wanted me to have a good life... One devoid of sadness and grief... I have read, John 10:10 multiple times but I never
> * The end of a thing is better than its beginning. * **** ---- Author's POV ---- It's said that the best day of a lady's life is her wedding day and this was true in Mia's case as she was all smiles that day. Dressed in a Royal ball gown which was specially designed for her by a French designer. Carlos Luther who was well known for his stunning designs. Mia looked more like a Queen herself than a noble. She stood tall in her seven inch heels, which she had become used to wearing as she stared at herself in the full body mirror. " I must say, Bestie... You are the most beautiful bride ever! Not only because of your dress but also that lovely smile hanging up on your lips. " Clover who was now a month pregnant couldn't help, saying as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. " Thanks... " " You know, the saying, " A smile is a girl's best makeup " is honestly very true in this case, as I can see it all over you. " Angel who was putting on an off shoulder P
>* You are beautifully and wonderfully made by God. *****---- Mia. -----" Then it was your character that made me stay. " He continued while I listened. " But most people believe I am too proud. " " You aren't, Mia. They only think that way because they are envious and couldn't get what they want from you. "" Um... So what gave you the motivation to stay even when I tried pushing you away? " I thought on the not so good days, when all I just wanted was for him to get out of his life, I was tired of him following me around like a puppet. Though I liked him as a friend, I didn't want him too close as I didn't want to have any sort of relationship with a guy... And so. " Vision and love. "" Meaning? "" I got the confirmation I needed that you are the one destined for me. And I was also in love with you, this both gave me the motivation to stay. " " Oh... "" When the Lord first told me that you are the one for me. The first question I asked him was, " Why then is she he
>* Be good. God is in control. *****----- Mia -----I didn't know how much time had passed as I simply remained in Edward's embrace. Until he finally spoke up. " Mia... " He broke the hug, still holding me close to himself. He held up my chin with his fingers and made me stare deeply into his eyes. " I'll never hurt you.. I Promise. " I could see the emotions in his eyes as he spoke. " Do you believe that? " He inquired slowly when I was silent... " That I won't hurt you? " Though my mind screamed that he would hurt me, my heart spoke otherwise. For some reason, my heart believed he'd never hurt me. " I do. " I managed to say at last. " Good. " He pulled me to himself once again and embraced him tightly. I simply stayed there not knowing how to react. I was feeling a bit comfortable in his embrace much to my amazement. Shouldn't I be feeling disgusted or something like that? Yet... I was feeling comfortable. " I really can't wait for the day you'll scream out loud t
>* There's beauty in everything... You can either choose to see it or not. *****----- Mia -----I sat there on the vvip seat at the women's conference and couldn't help, but be more grateful to the Lord for everything. Though bringing an end to teenage abortion was tough as there were lots and lots of controversies. But in the end... We were able to with the help of the Lord. " Now... Let's call upon the chair person of this event, Miss Mia! " The mc announced and I stood up in my heels and walked towards the stage. " Thank you. " I said to him as he handed over the microphone to me. " Good day everyone. I am so happy to be here and I want to say a very big thank you to you all for honoring our invitation. " I bowed. " Seven years ago, I got this idea to eradicate teenage abortion. And I must say, it wasn't easy... But in the end we succeeded in it. "" The main aim of that was to Enable teenage girls to see their worth beyond being childbearing tools. It's to encourage
>* Do the right thing even when no one knows you are doing the right thing. *****---- Mia ----The drama proceeded as the lawyer in charge kept on asking the woman personal question one after another and to their utmost surprise... The woman answered them all without shame. Does she not fear being arrested and jailed for being an accomplice to a crime or what? The others wondered as they couldn't understand where she got her confidence from. From where exactly?" Were your daughter's happy with the procedures? "" Of course they were. Why wouldn't they be anyways? They are being saved from a lifetime of sorrow and pain. "" Um... In that case why don't you try telling them to practice abstinence Instead? "" Why would I do that? They deserve to have as much fun as they should. "" Even if the fun costs their health? "" There's no health issues meds can't solve... So that's not an excuse. " " In a nutshell... You are also against the eradication of teens abortion, right? "
>* Nothing is impossible, even the word, " Impossible " when broken down means, " I am possible. " *****Five years later. * Happy 70 chapters, guys! * History rewritten.----- Mia ------Today, at the women's conference ceremony, I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. It's been five whole years since the incident happened and during those five years, I must admit I had gone through a lot of growing up. My faith had been tested and tried multiple times and I came out stronger and more faithful than I was. My Lord Indeed did what he promised... As there hadn't been an brutality. After our trip to the Maldives... I began working on the project which was titled, " Eradicating Teenage Abortion. " Although, I knew that it would cause a lot of controversies... Yet, I never knew it will do that to such a level that it would get to court. I could vividly recall what happened that day, when the case was being presented in court. A lot of Young mom's were the firs
>* Where there's a will. There's a way. *****----- Angelina -----While we were all lying there, I all of a sudden got this urge to leave along with the clover and give Mia some privacy...So I did. But now thinking of it, I wondered why that happened.What's going on? I thought to myself. " The dishes in this resort look very tasty. I bet they'll just be as tasty as they seem. " Clover's words interrupted me from my thoughts. " Hm... I think so too. " Staring at the vast beach I found myself pondering on just how great and marvelous the Lord truly is... To have created all of this. " You know, Angel... I find myself wondering why we often doubt the Lord. ``It felt like Clover was thinking the same thing as I was as she literally answered my thoughts. " Why do you say so? "" Haven't you ever thought just how glorious and wonderful the creator of the heavens and the earth truly is? "" I have... Sometimes. " " Then why do we doubt him? He's the creator of all flesh... So
>* Try to find beauty in everything. *****The weather is buyan's resort in the Maldives was very lovely and cool. Mia, clover and Angel were all in the length, white gowns as they laid on the soft beach sand next to each other. " To be honest.... I never would have thought we'd still have the opportunity to enjoy this when we were in captivity. " Mia sighed." Oh wow... But I thought you were always hopeful, Mia. " Clover turned to her in shock. " Maybe I was... But sometimes I lose hope too. I am human just like you guys and I feel. "" Hmm... But in the end, we were saved weren't we? "" Not in the easiest way possible though. "" Hm.. " silence reigned between the doors for several minutes as they simply enjoyed the morning breeze. " It's very beautiful here. "" Exactly... We made the right choice by choosing to spend our vacation here. "" Indeed. "" Mia... Let's go check if the meal has been prepared... Am starving. " Clover said." You guys can go... I'd love to
>* Change begins with me. * ****---- Mia ---- Though it's been almost two hours since our conversation with that nurse... I still couldn't get the images of the brutality happening just a floor below out of my head. I could literally hear screams of innocent baby's begging for their lives... Yet there was none to save them. The young mother's who should be defending the rights of her innocent baby are being brainwashed into thinking, it's not a child but actually a bunch of non living tissues. It sucks... Really, it does. I wish there was something I could do about it... Anything?But I couldn't... I guess I am just as helpless as everyone else. " You aren't helpless, Mia... " I heard a voice inside my head say. " How? What do you mean? " " You've got the holy spirit inside you and his duty Is to be your strength, your helper and your comforter. " " Hm... "" What if this is part of our quest, Mia? " Once again... Angelina got the words right out of my mouth. It was
