* God's mercy is new every morning. Each day we can find a fresh place to begin. *

****

As Mira kept on walking towards Evie who was chatting with her Evans, the words Queen Bee said kept ringing in her head.

Indeed, Queen Bee's words hit a nerve. No matter how much she tried so hard to cover it up. The emotional wound remained, unhealed.

Perhaps it was true that she is pitiful – an orphan who had nobody to call parents to guide and protect her.

At that moment, she began doubting everything and everyone around her.

Were they really true to her? Or was it just a facade to get to her?

What's the real truth after all?

She'd just gotten to where Evie stood when she felt a shove from behind and the next thing she knew was that she was falling into the deep pool.

“ Ah...! ” She screamed as she fell into the pool. As she couldn't swim, she tried her best to stay afloat but began sinking into the deep.

She kept screaming for help from the students around.

Evie was snapped to rea

    >* We are not truly free until we can live without pretense and comfortable being who we are. *****As soon as the ambulance got to the nearest hospital, The door opened and Mira was promptly wheeled into the emergency room. She now had an oxygen mask attached to her nose. Evie and Joseph both had to wait at the door of the emergency room as they weren't allowed in. The lights of the emergency room were still on even after one hour, which got them frightened.“ Mira, would be fine, right? ” Evie asked Joseph.She was in tears already, as she kept blaming herself over and over again for what happened to Mira. Perhaps if she hadn't made Mira go with Brandon then maybe what happened wouldn't have happened.And now? She felt very guilty and responsible for what happened to Mira. “ She'll be fine. ”At that point, it felt like Joseph was assuring himself more than he was assuring her.“ Lord, please save, Mira. ” He prayed silently.After 90 mins of waiting, the emergen

I especially love eating it with groundnuts. It tastes very yummy. ”“ Oh. Really? I have never eaten both of them together. ”“ You obviously haven't. ”“ Guys, I want ice cream! ” Mira's sudden words interrupted their banter.“ You can't have that! ”“ Definitely not! ”They replied simultaneously.Mira pouted, “ You are both very mean! ”“ We are definitely not buying that! ” The duo stood their ground.“ Really, Jose? Remember your promise of always giving me whatever I want? ” Mira said in a childish voice.“ No, not this time. Your

    >* The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So take a step today! * ****Miranda stared at the sleeping Joseph with admiration in her eyes. Recalling all that happened in the past few hours and how patient and understanding he'd been through it all made her heart soar. Indeed, he was one in a million. She noticed that her hair was tied up in a bun and her less damp eyes, she sighed realizing what he'd done. Slowly, she detached herself from Joseph's embrace. She was about to stand up when he held her all a sudden. “ Where are you going? ” His voice was hoarse, as he'd just woken up. “ I am going — ”“ Geez! Does she have to get your permission to visit the bathroom now, Joseph? ” Evie , who had just woken up, interrupted Mira.“ I — ” Joseph stared at Mira with an embarrassing smile.“ Good morning, Evie! ”“ Good morning, Mira. ” Evie rose up from the couch she had slept on as she walked towards Mira and embraced her. “ I hope you had a great night's re

Being you is what makes you different, unique and very very special. ***** The trio went home immediately after Mira got discharged.On the way home, they brought up this discussion.“ When will you go get your belongings from the orphanage, Mira? ”“ I haven't left yet. Why the hurry? ” Mira was surprised by this question.“ Well, girl. You aren't going back there as I have decided that I am going to take care of you myself from now on. ” Joseph answered.“ What am I? A toddler? ” Mira couldn't help but blush at his words.“ Maybe. ” He replied.“ So when do you think is the best time for her to pack? ”“ The day after tomorrow is a good time to. ” Joseph replied.“ Oh. What do you think, Mira? ”“ What should I say when Dad has said it all already? ”“ Daddy? ” Evie couldn't help but bursted out in laughter. Even the driver who was driving couldn't help but smile.“ Yes, Daddy. He's always so bossy sometimes! ” Mira snickere

I can't help but wonder if he has a son who's around my age. ” Evie said dreamily.“ Girl, don't be silly! ” Mira said, throwing a cushion at Evie.“ Hey, I am not silly. I was just appreciating the work of God in his life, okay? ” She said defensively, attempting to throw back the pillow at Mira. But one glare from Joseph stopped her.‘ How frightening! ’ she cringed.“ Still, you shouldn't be thinking like that. What if he has a son who is a Playboy? ”“ Then, I will just give up, okay? You don't have to be so serious alright? ”“ Guys, don't you think you are thinking too far? Sir Roberts has never been married and so of course doesn't have a child. ” Joseph said.“ Oh. But how do you know about that? ” Evie questioned.“ I just did a simple ba

She couldn't help but feel nostalgic as memories rushed through her mind. The good ones and bad ones. She recalled the first time she was brought to the orphanage. How she refused to stay at first. Those times, when she felt lonely. As she was being ignored by the children in the orphanage she was always alone. Days when she had to go to bed on an empty stomach due to her not getting to the dinner table on time. She recalled the tears, the sad times and everything.And now she was leaving the place she had spent eight years of her life! She felt happily sad at that moment.On one hand she was happy to be free from all the rules, and on the other hand she felt sad as reality dawned on her.

Joseph got out of the driver's seat, and headed over to the passenger's seat to open the door for Mira.“ Thank you. ” She smiled at him.“ You welcome, princess. ” Joseph replied with a wink. Joseph locked the car before heading into the boutique with Mira.To say that, Mira was amazed by the interior design of the boutique would be an understatement. It was breathtaking! She couldn't help but wonder why Joseph had to choose a boutique as grand as this when all she needed was a simple gown to wear to a birthday party. Though she didn't understand what Joseph was doing currently, she'll soon. And yeah, she'll realize that it was all for her own good. “ Hello, welcome to The Queen's Boutique! How may I help you? ” An attendant came over to them and welcomed them enthusiastically.Mira

    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
