★ 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. " She couldn't help but comment.

" Um... "

" What's up, Jose? " She turned around to face him, sensing the sol

    ★ You are never alone. ★**** “ Good evening, y'all. ” Ameila attracted their attention to her with her unique British accent. “ I welcome y'all to my eighteenth year birthday celebration. ” she smiled making eye contact with her twin, Adrien who was flirting with some girls off stage. The latter soon got her signal and came up on stage. “ Good evening, guys. "Unlike his sister, he had a clear American accent. “ Thanks for honoring our invitation. ” “ We hope you'll enjoy it to the fullest. ” The brief introduction ended, with the guests giving them a round of applause. Soon, it was time for the couple to dance and Adrien slowly led his twin to the dance floor, as the others followed suit behind him.“ It's time for our couple to dance, Bestiest. ” Her words managed to snap Mira out of her dazzled state, the latter had been distracted by the way the twins acted so naturally that it was beautiful. “ You know, ” Evie paused, looking in the direction she was. “ Sometime

    * I am safe in your arms. *****---- Joseph ----I had just taken a warm shower, when I heard some noise at the front door of the hotel room. I was meant to be home but decided to stay at the hotel as it was a bit closer to my office.I got there just in time to witness a figure being thrown into the room." Hadn't I locked the door before going off to the shower? " I wondered, perplexed. To my utmost surprise, the figure was none other than my baby girl. " Mira? " My words came out in a whisper as I knelt in front of her. I wasn't able to catch who pushed her in, as they disappeared before I got there. " Jose? " She raised her head right at that moment and our eyes met. " What are you—-" I couldn't complete my words, as seeing my baby girl in a disorganized state made my brain go into an alarm mode. " Jose... " Her silent cry brought my attention back to her. She was completely pale and flushed. Was she drunk or drugged? I wondered. " Are you okay? " I held her gently, I lifted

    * Love will always find a way. *****Meanwhile in the room. Joseph sat by the bedside, staring at the sleeping beauty.He wondered what would have happened if he wasn't the one in the room.Most importantly, how in the world did she get into the arms of those men?There should be an answer for that right?“ I have to get to the bottom of this. ” he whispered with renewed determination, brimming in his orbs.***Morning the next day. Mira woke up and was alarmed to find herself in an unfamiliar room.“ Where am I? ” she pondered looking around the room for clues, but she got none. Joseph appeared before her, right then. He had just gotten out of the bathroom fully clothed with a towel on his wet hair. " Good morning, Princess. " He greeted her with a smile." Jose... " She drawled not knowing how to approach him with the question. " What happened? " " Um... It's alright, Princess. " He assured her." Really? " Mira stared at him with doubt, then fear when she recalled how she wa

    >* I will be with you even to the end of time. ***** Elina stared impatiently at the door, whilst sending hateful glares at the security personnel in front of her. All her attempts to leave the hotel earlier, proved futile as the doors were locked and there was no way she'd jump down from a ten storey building. Even when she had the means to, she wouldn't dare…Left with no other choice, she booked a room for the night on the floor below the one Mira was. Though, she felt miserable having her freedom restricted. The very thought of Mira being victimized brought a blooming smile to her face. “ At least, I won't be the only one miserable. ” The joy she felt hours ago left her face when she heard a knock at her door. “ Who could it be? ” Though hesitant, she was forced to open the door and was seized moments later. “ What's going on? ” was the question on her mind. “ Let me go, sir. I have done nothing wrong! ” she insisted for the umpteenth time, her pleas fell on deaf

    >*Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. ****Joseph entered the room, just in time to watch the sleeping beauty open her eyes. Her eyes wandered around the room, until it finally fell on him. “ Hello, sleeping beauty. ” he waved at her. “ Hi. ” Mira blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed.Joseph walked towards her and sat on the couch beside the bed, as Mira adjusted herself into a sitting position.“ How was your rest? ” he poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her. “ It was good. ” she took the water from him with a sincere smile. “ Thank you. ” “ You are welcome. ”“ So where were you? ” she inquired, tying up her hair in a high ponytail.“ I was settling some matters. ” He still hasn't figured out whether he should tell her or not. Though he felt she needed to know, since the whole issue was about her anyways. “ What's it about? "Perhaps he was a bit more sensitive but he found Mira oddly inquisitive.“ It was Elina Edison. ” Mira felt an evil foreboding hearing hi

    >* True love waits. ****That night,Joseph paced endlessly around his room. He couldn't make a decision on whether he should talk to Mira about the house or not. As much as he wanted to share the good news with her, he didn't know how she'd react most especially now that she's on her days.‘ If not now, when? ’ This question haunted him greatly. ‘ Tomorrow? ’ that idea struck. ‘ Tomorrow's never ending, remember? ’ He knew better that procrastination does no apparent good.Therefore he decided.He was going to tell her. He took the document from the save where he kept it and walked towards her room. The thought of knocking the door occurred to him, but he decided to neglect courtesy for today.He wondered what she was doing, so he opened the door slowly and there was his baby girl typing away on her computer.He knew instantly that she was doing what she loved best, which was writing.He was amazed at the speed at which she typed. He tiptoed into the room and peeked to

    >* Don't let self doubt stop you. ****“ Mira. ” The hesitation in his voice couldn't be mistaken and she found herself raising an eyebrow. When was the last time she saw that in his eyes? She knew him to be a very confident person, so what now? What could be so important, that he hesitates to communicate it with her? For some reason, she believed it wasn't so simple.She felt that what he was going to tell her will change her thoughts about a lot of things.These thoughts didn't make her fear or dread hearing what he had to say. Instead, it made her eager to know exactly what it is that he was hiding that feels so hard to say. What could it be actually? “ Jose… ” she reached out to him and ushered him into a sitting position. “ You can talk to me, you know… ” they maintained eye contact. He searched her eyes for any signs of doubt or dread, yet he found none. “ Really? ” “ Yup.. ” she nodded. “ Mira… ” he fought an inner battle as he found the words to say. “ Henry Edi

    > * Life is unfair, but God is fair. ***** The duo remained in the same position in silence for the next few minutes until the clock struck 12. “ Mira… ” he called out to her and when she raised up her head, his heart broke, it felt like it was pricked by a thousand knives. Her face was flushed and tear stained, her beautiful emerald eyes were red with unshed tears. “ You okay? ” Though the question sounded stupid, when obviously she wasn't, yet he felt compelled to ask and so he did. “ Mmm. ” came her short answer. “ I think you should take a shower. ” he tried maintaining eye contact with her. “ Mmm. ” she nodded before standing up and walking towards the bathroom and straight into the shower. In the shower…As the droplets of water washed through her hair, then her body.Mira felt all the pain, tears and hurt wash away and it felt weird.She wanted so badly to hold on to them, so she could seek vengeance for her parents…But she couldn't.“ I am the God that heale

    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
