* Spread the love. *

****

---- Joseph ----

As I kept on talking with Mira giving me no replies. The more I felt Evie's words were right.

The words from the girl's diary she read to me are becoming so real and true.

For some reason, I felt like Mira was also feeling neglected and abandoned too.

And it really sucked.

Now I can understand what that girl's best friend must have felt when she realized that her friend only thought of herself to be just a burden.

And nothing more than that.

Just thinking about it made my heart ache.

What would be the use of all my care and love if she can't even feel it and believe in it?

Wouldn't it be just a waste of time and effort?

Coming to think of it, I realized that Mira had been having issues with her writing. Something she loves doing the most.

Yet, I haven't said a word about it or intervened as I have been too busy.

But I guess, The busy word is really not an excuse as we always create time for people and things that matter mostly

    >* Never stop doing good. *****----- Joseph ----- I closed my eyes for a brief moment as I allowed all her words to sink in. “ Mira, I'm sure you are aware of how much I love and care about you, right? ” I said carefully, insinuating every word.“ I do. ” It took her a while to answer, emotions evident in her voice. I understood her. “ I'm sure you also know that I don't see you as a burden. Rather I see you as a part of me. I can never let go of it. One which is super important and priceless. I will never cease being thankful for you, Mira. As you and you alone completes me. ” I sighed in between my speech.“ You know, Mira. I sometimes find myself wondering. How my life would have been without you here with me. Would it really be worth living? Would I still be carrying the burden of bitterness and resentment towards my parents for abandoning me? Or would I be better? ”“ Miranda, You are just not any girl to me. You are my world. When I think of someone who is so importan

    > * You are unique and important. * **** ----- Evie ---- As much as I hated to admit it, I sometimes feel like the third wheel between Joseph and Mira.Though the duo had tried their possible best not to make me feel that way, still I just couldn't help it. I am human after all.And no matter how strong I claim to be, I still find myself succumbing to my feelings and emotions.Though, Emotions can't be trusted as they are never stable and always fluctuating. Yeah, I never really had a close friend till I met Mira. And one thing I always wanted and prayed for is a best friend who would be mine and mine alone.One whom I won't have to share with anyone as I wanted my best friend to be exclusively mine.Meeting Mira. I thought my dream had finally come true until I heard about her and Joseph's long history together.To be honest, I was sad. The fact that I only came second. Hurt a whole lot.Perhaps it isn't meant to hurt and I was just feeling possessive. But whatever it

    >* Trust in God’s plans for your life. *****That night, Joseph was just about retiring to bed when he got a call from one of his subordinates.“ Boss, Mr Edison is trying to make a move. ”“ Let him. ” He smirked before adding. “ Then make him regret ever making a move. ”“ Sure, Boss. ”“ Good. ” Joseph said as the call ended. “ Seems like you won't give up until there's no more hope, Mr Edison. ” Joseph thought. Nevertheless, he won't deny that he was having a lot of fun toying with him. But he felt he had to be eliminated as soon as possible. **** Days later,The trio went on a picnic to the city beach to enjoy themselves before college resumed.Mira and Evie were both putting on matching sundresses while Joseph was putting on a simple white top and ash pajamas pants. “ I wonder what college life would be like. Would it be more interesting than highschool or less? ” Evie thought out loud as they laid on the dry sand. “ Well, I am not so sure but from the books I

    >* Never cease praying for God's will to be done in your life. ***** Saturday, Joseph and Mira sat side by side on the rooftop of his house as they watched the night sky together. Mira had her head rested on Joseph's shoulders while the latter had his arms around her.The atmosphere was filled to the overflow with love and romance. “ You know, Jose. Mom and Dad told me something about us that I never knew. ” Her words caught Joseph's attention. He had been waiting for her to open up about what she and her parents had talked about but never thought it'd be this soon. “ So what did they tell you? ” He inquired, curiously. Mira took a deep breath before speaking again. “ You know I always believed in divinely ordained partners? ”“ Yeah. you are fond of saying something like, “ I'll only get married to my divinely ordained partner and no one else. ”“ You're right. Seems like you pay far more attention to my words than I expect. ” She giggled.“ Of course I do. Whose

    .... The next day. The Edison's were all woken up by vigorous knocks at their front door. Elina was the first to wake up, she ran to her parent's room panicky. " Mom... Dad? " She called out to her parents who were as confused as she was. " Who could it be? " Nicole wondered in fear. As they had already laid off all their workers, they could only be the ones to open the door. But now out of fear of the unknown they didn't want to open the door. " I'll get the door. " Mr Edison announced, descending the stairs and advancing towards the main door before the mother and daughter duo could stop him. " Mom? " Elina turned to her mom in fear, completely unaware of what exactly was going on. " It'll be fine. " Nicole assured her daughter despite being so unsure herself. Though for some reason she believed in her husband and his abilities. [ A/N : Really? Just hoping you don't get disappointed, Miss Nicole. ]Mr Edison walked towards the door and was immediately welcomed b

One thing she hated was having her sleep interrupted.A/N : She would have never guessed that she'll have to get used to it eventually. " No, Mira! You have to listen to me first! " She said, pouting like a child. " No, Evie. Just go away. " " Please... For my sake? " Evie persisted." Okay. " Mira helplessly opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. " Good morning, Bestie! " Evie greeted her happily. " Morning. " Mira rolled her eyes. Seeing this, Evie couldn't help raising an eyebrow... " Let me guess, Joseph didn't let you go to bed earlier? " She said with a mischievous smile. " It's not what you think, naughty! " Mira threw a cushion at her. " Oh. So what was it? Foreplay but not the real deal? " Evie teased her intentionally.

    ★ There are deeper dimensions in the things we don't see. ★ Saturday,Evie had herself and Mira dolled up so beautifully, that Joseph found himself wondering if they were really just going off to attend a birthday party or a fashion show.While Mira stood in front of the full body mirror examining herself, Joseph walked in discreetly. It wasn't until he embraced her from behind and left a soft peck on her bare shoulders did she notice him." Hey. " She blushed seeing his stare through the mirror. " You look very beautiful, Babe. " He left another peck on her shoulders making her melt. " Thanks. "" My pleasure. " The duo fell silent as they simply kept staring at themselves in the mirror. " Don't you think we should take a picture? " Joseph broke the silence with his words." Ok. " Mira answered and before she knew it two shots were taken." That sure was really fast.

    Epilogue.“ The end of a thing is better than its beginning. ”****—- Miranda —-It's said that friendship is the backbone of every relationship, I can't help but agree more at this point. I stared into the ever beautiful eyes of my groom and the love and adoration in it couldn't be denied. It's been fifty years of friendship and thirty eight years of marriage, yet it feels like a lifetime.Is this really how beautiful love is?I've always heard about love being beautiful from my parents and now? I couldn't help agreeing more. Years ago, I had questioned why some things happened to me which weren't meant to. I know better now that God has been in my story all along. Slowly crafting and editing out unimportant details, to create a wonderful masterpiece. And now? After so many years and me being surrounded by my friends, family, kids and grandchildren, I can only say. God is good and his timings are always perfect. “ Didn't I say we'll celebrate fifty years of friendship? ” I s

    “ Smile because your world brightens up when you do. ” *** —- Miranda —-“ Mom… ” It felt like my heart got caught in my throat at the sight of my daughter in white.I couldn't form a word as emotions rushed through me, I could see flashes of our moments together. The first time I'd held her, the first time she'd said Mom. Her first day at school, the day she'd finally opened up to me about her crush. I would never forget how long the conversation was that day on a small picnic by the lake. The blush on her cheeks and the glow in her eyes made me realize just how smitten my daughter was. “ I love him, Mom. ” I would never forget so soon how beautiful the words sounded when they echoed in the blue sky. And now? The same girl I had held as a baby and vowed to love and protect was now getting married to the love of her life. “ Babe. ” I couldn't control the tears that fell out of my eyes, as I stared at my daughter in the most beautiful dress I've seen.

    “ Having a guy best friend who truly loves and cares about you is indeed super priceless. ” *** “ Dad. ” “ Yes, Baby girl? ” He stared his little sweet sixteen who was looking more and more like her mom on a daily basis. “ Do you know I have a crush on someone? ” Her words made him pause from swinging the swing they were currently on. He'd made it a routine to spend quality time with both his children every weekend so he could get to know them and their personalities better. Though lately, he'd been spending more time with his daughter as it seemed the latter needs his time and attention most.“ Oh, really? Who's the lucky guy? ” He grinned, on seeing the red blush on her cheeks.“ He's Noel. ” She replied in a chicken-like manner. “ And he is? ” “ My Best Friend. ” “ Oh wow. ” Joseph instantly felt history about to repeat itself as he stared at his daughter.“ Does he know about it? ” He inquired softly, taking her hands in his. “ No… I don't think he sees me that way thoug

    “ Pain is temporary. ”***“ I wish we can always choose the one we fall in love with. Perhaps it wouldn't be a big deal now that I'm in this case. I am Ava Smith and this is my story. A year ago, I fell in love with a young man who was 20 at the time of our meeting. He wasn't the most beautiful man I've ever come across but in my heart, he'll always be the best definition of beauty. Black beauty is what I'll call him. His smile was ever beautiful and never ceased to warm my heart. His voice was like the sound of many waters and the sound of his laughter was like a waterfall. I fell for this innocence, his honesty and thoughtfulness.I was attracted to him by his love for dancing and acting. I've never met someone as talented as him. Matthew was his name and I must say, his name did great justice to his personality, but I would have preferred for him to be named Daniel. I loved him in a way, I've never loved anyone before. When asked what I love about him, I get confused a

    “ Be with someone who is afraid to lose you. ”*** “ How do you feel, Jose. ” Joseph turned to face his beautiful wife, who looked ever stunning at thirty. Perhaps it's true that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, cos even after so many years he still found her as stunning as she'd always been. “ You've asked that question three times already. ” He smiled seeing her pout. “ But it's okay, I get it. ” He turned to face her. “ It's Vera's wedding, I know. ” He pulled her to a seat on the bed beside him as he cupped her face. “ I'd once been infatuated with her, and couldn't imagine a life without her once. ” He paused to search her eyes. “ But that's in the post now, you know. I love you and you are my forever so you don't have to worry about me, Kay? ” “ Um… ” “ Besides, you look unusually beautiful today. ” He tucked her hair behind her face, as she blushed. “ Should we roll on the sheets for a few minutes before we leave? ” “ In your dreams. ” She stood up in an attemp

    “ I cry when you cry. ”*** Five years later,Miranda opened the door to her daughter's room and sighed helplessly when she didn't find her there. She matched towards her son's and there she met them spooned together on the bed. “ Gosh, how many times do I have to tell them not to sleep together. ” She muttered under her breath. She'd thought the doctor had been over exaggerating when she said they'll be literally inseparable. Now? She figured Angelina was more than right. They couldn't even stay a moment without each other. “ Nuel, Nuella. ” She patted them lovingly and slowly but steadily she was welcomed by two deep blue eyes. Ones she'd come to fall in love with. “ Mom… ” Nuella was the first to react as she detached herself from her brother's embrace and went into her mother's arms. “ Good morning, Hon. ” She pecked her cheeks and straightened her short hair which was tied in two messy buns. “ Morning, Mom. ” She rubbed her head on Miranda's chest as she'd always done

    “ Forgiveness sets you free. ”*** “ Can I take a seat? ” The duo stared at each other before nodding. “ I know you guys have a million and one questions to ask me. ” She smiled, “ That's not unexpected, right? Since I disappeared months ago and suddenly reappeared. ” The duo nodded. “ Well, I was imprisoned for three months due to my involvement in a crime relating to Miranda. ” “ What crime? ” Evie inquired, staring at the two.“ I planned to have her miscarry, but my plan failed as always. ” Her tone was solemn. “ Um… ” Evelyn sighed, realizing her Bestie had forgiven her already. So what right does she have to overreact?“ I heard God for the very first time in the police’s van. ”“ God? ” They were left completely stunned by her words.“ As you both know, I've always been an atheist. But for the first time, I heard the deity which you and Joseph had always spoken about. Prior to that, I've always believed he was nothing but a figment of your imaginations. But the single enc

    “ Hard Work sets the difference between great and average. ”***“ You are pregnant, Bestie? ” The latter blushed heavily at the question directed to her.“ Yeah. ” She replied shyly.“ But why didn't you tell me? ” Miranda felt happy, yet a little disappointed at that. Best friends are meant to tell each other everything, right?So why hide that important detail from her?“ I just found out, okay? ” Evie replied defensively, not totally comfortable under her accusing gaze.“ Okay. ” Miranda nodded with a tight smile. ***Later in their car. “ You've been silent, Honey. ” He mused, pulling her into his arms. He'd never totally understand how quickly her mood changes. Thankfully he'd read a lot on post childbirth depression and understood that her feelings and reactions are absolutely normal. Though not totally normal to him as he craves for his wife to be completely alright. “ I feel Evie should have told me about her pregnancy earlier. ” Joseph sighed hearing her words.He'd nev

    “ God never comes too late, he comes right on time. ”*** The day seemed to go slowly until the middle aged bride was handed a mirror. “ Oh my. ” Hannah couldn't stop the gasp that escaped her lips at her reflection in the mirror. For some reason, she'd always believed she'd never be as beautiful as she was at her previous wedding ceremony. But who knew. Her short almond colored hair was beautifully styled on her head, her makeup and mascara was perfect further adding to her stunning look. “ You make a beautiful bride, Nanny. ” She turned to hear the exact words she'd said at the latter’s wedding. “ Thank you. ”“ I'm super glad I got to witness your happy day, Mom. ” Those simple words made her emotional. She'd always believed she would never experience the joy and gladness this day brings. After her husband left her. She'd literally lost all hope in finding love again. She believed she can never be happy again as she'll never find a man better than Joshua.But who knew.“ Th
