My Best Friend : He's the one I have Forty six
> * Self love is self discipline. If you want to be happy you have to love yourself enough to practice self discipline. * **** ------- Joseph. ------- I found myself pondering on Nanny's words as I rode my power bike around the estate. Though her words came out blunt. I still couldn't deny the fact that they were all true. Nanny was right, completely right. I fucked up greatly! Geez! I hadn't been thinking straight all this while, and Nanny's words were just what I needed. It was now I realized the extent of my stupidity to have disregarded everything for Vera. Vera, the girl who had never truly cared about my well being, yet I was willing to give up everything for her. How could I have fallen so hard for her sweet words and fake innocence. I'd believed everything she said as truth, how could I have done that? Was she so good at lying, or was I simply too blind to see the truth? Nevertheless, it's completely human to make mistakes, isn't it? And realizing it, mean

> * Hang in there. God's gonna make you feel better. * **** ------- Mira. ------- † I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know. † I decided to take a short noon break, before moving on with my daily activities. I'd just turned on my music app when my favorite christian song, “ You say ” by Lauren Daigle started playing. The song meant a lot to me, as it had gotten me through some of my weakest and toughest times. Mixed with meditation, it worked like magic in renewing my self confidence. “ Ooh oh. You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak And You say I am held when I am falling short And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours And I believe, (I) oh I believe (I) What You say of me (I) I believe. ” I sang the lyrics along with the

> * It's hard nowadays to see someone pursue their dreams and attain them. * **** ------ Joseph. ------- After making all the preparations, I went over to Nanny's room to ask for her permission. On getting there, I saw that she was now reading another book. I wasn't surprised, knowing how much of a fast reader she was. Besides, she was almost done with the atonement child when I walked in earlier. Her current book was titled, a vessel of honor. Written by a renowned christian writer, Rebecca Brown. A devoted christian who was willing to go through hell for the kingdom's sake. Her story had never ceased to amaze me, as not everyone who calls himself a christian is willing to go through that much for the kingdom. Most prefer pleasure to actually doing the things of the kingdom and it's really saddening. “ What's up? ” Nanny said, without even looking up at me. Her eyes were completely glued to the pages of the book, so much that she didn't bother looking at me. I was used

> * Life will offer you so many wonderful things and some trials and tribulations. * **** ------ Mira. ------ The atmosphere at the beach was very cool and serene, exactly the way I love it. Staring at the vast sea before me, I found myself recalling a scene from the christian movie, Breakthrough that I'd watched recently. The male lead and his friends were doing some practice on the iced sea. when all of a sudden the ice collapsed and they ended up falling into it. While his other two friends managed to stay afloat till help arrived, he wasn't so lucky as he fell deep into the icy cold sea. He was rescued later on by the rescue team. but it was almost too late by then. He was already unconscious by the time he was brought out and in a very critical state. In the operating room, the doctors tried all they could to revive him but failed, as he had no pulse. While the others lost hope, his adoptive mother Joyce didn't. She did what she knew how to do best, Praying. And

> * Some people live out their dreams while others wake up from it. * **** * Happy 50 chapters, readers! * ------ Author's POV ------ With Mira laying on Joseph, the two gazed deeply into each other's eyes. Though they try as much as possible to hide it. but at that moment, they couldn't deny the attraction they felt towards each other. Their relationship had gotten to a stage where they didn't even need to say anything to each other as their eyes said it all. Though they still tried to hide it. Why? Because they feared this new attraction might put their friendship in jeopardy. One thing they couldn't deny though, is that their simple friendship was turning into something deeper and that scares them a whole lot. Clearing his throat, Joseph spoke up while still staring Into Mira's hazel colored eyes. “ I don't find other girls attractive as I suddenly realize that my best friend is more beautiful than all the others. ” “ Ah! Isn't Vera the Queen Bee? You had eve

> * If you want to enjoy life, learn to live in balance, work, worship, pray and rest. All work, with nothing else produces a person who lives a complicated, complex and joyless life. * **** Joseph and Miranda sat by side on a wooden bench with metal art forging, in the busy children amusement park. The environment was hustling and bustling with children running around happily and their parents making sure they were alright. Despite the less serene environment, the latter still felt comfortable and nostalgic as they thought about their own childhood, which they could tag as the good old days. Things were ever so simple and peaceful then. Being so young and less knowledgeable about the real world, they always had reasons to be happy and smile as they weren't burdened with so many responsibilities and knowledge. It's no wonder it's been said that childhood is one of the best times of a child's life. That's absolutely true as kids don't have much to worry about, unlike th

> * We can be changed as we worship and behold God, and not as we look at ourselves, adding up our many flaws. * **** — Author's Pov — Joseph had always tried to keep the incidents of their childhood and the past to himself, as they made them feel nostalgic. But now that they were already dwelling on it. He felt it was pointless of him trying to hide the truth. “ Mira. ” “ Yeah. ” She replied without raising her head from his shoulders. “ Do you remember, Breakthrough amusement park? ” The name of that particular amusement park caught her attention and she became ever curious about it. “ I do. What's up with it? ” “ Do you remember going there as a child? ” Joseph treaded carefully. “ Of course I do. My parents and I made it a Saturday ritual to go to the amusement park so it became a habit. ” “ Okay. Do you recall the day pandemonium broke out and all the kids were told to hide? ” “ Yeah. The day is one I will never forget given how scared and frightened I was.

> * Some things should just be left in the past because it's already history. * **** ------ Mira. ----- The revelation left me stunned and full with wonder. I still found it difficult to comprehend that my childhood friend and my best friend are the same person. Like how much of a coincidence it really is. Or maybe it isn't really, because growing up I'd always preferred having make friends than females, partly because as an only child, I'd always craved having a male elder sibling, but never got. I'd never desired a female sibling, as I heard from those who have how tasking and tiring it can be. As petty fights and arguments become the order of the day. Secondly, I'd always noticed my difference and uniqueness from a very young age and realized that I'd never truly been able to blend properly with fellow females, this was until I met Evelyn who changed the narrative. Perhaps this is why I'm less affected hearing them gossip behind me. I was different, so of course being

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. I've always admired supe

“ 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
My Best Friend : He's the one I have Ava Smith
“ 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
My Best Friend : He's the one I have Emotional moment
“ 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
My Best Friend : He's the one I have Beautiful bride
“ 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
