> * 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

> * Some people can brighten up your day without having to do anything at all. * **** — Author's Pov — “ What are you thinking so deeply about, Miranda? ” Joseph inquired, interrupting her thoughts. “ I wonder how things would have turned out if you never left when we were younger. ” “ Well, I can't say for sure. Perhaps, we would have been able to grow up together and possibly become more closer than this. And maybe, Mom and Dad wouldn't have gotten divorced and our education wouldn't have been delayed. ” “ Hm. In Spite of all that has happened, I deeply believe that everything that happened to us happened for a good reason. It’s probably part of the greater picture. ” “ Maybe. ” “ Though I still wish, we didn't have to go through all we did. ” “ Same here. ” “ Life can be really unpredictable and we find ourselves asking why. But life wouldn't be so fun if we got everything we wanted every time. It would have been less adventurous if we didn't have to go through s

> * When you find your identity in the one who created you. It changes your whole perspective. * **** They made up their minds to try out the rides after snacking. They sat side by side, as they worked on strapping the belts securely around them. “ It's really amusing to know that you haven't been on a ferry ride before. ” Joseph commented, seeing how nervous Mira was. “ You don't know anything so just shut up! ” She said sharply, still holding a grudge. “ Ah. ” Miranda started shivering in fear as soon as the ride started moving. Joseph stifled a laughter watching her. “ You don't have to feel so scared, Miranda. You won’t fall. I never thought you were a scaredy cat. ” “ Jerk! ” She muttered under her breath. Despite her action, he still held her close while assuring her that she was okay and safe. The wheel stopped and the passengers began alighting one at a time from it. A girl around Mira's age stopped at their seats. “ Girl, you are so lucky to have a loving

> * The most difficult place to be in life is God's waiting room ( when you are in a hurry for something to happen but God isn't. ) * **** ------- Joseph ------- I was on my way back to my room to take a shower when my phone rang. I knew who it was without having to double check, who could it be if not Vera? Swiping up the answer button, I picked up the call. “ Wassup, Vera? ” I didn't know how cold my heart had become until I addressed her by her first name like anyone else. She didn't seem to detect that though. “ Hi, Joe. I'm calling to inform you that I'm almost at your place. ” “ Oh. I'll be expecting you. ” “ Sure. See you in fifteen minutes. ” “ Okay. ” The call disconnected soon after. “ Was that Vera? ” I turned to face Nanny who was staring inquisitively at me. “ Yeah, she's on her way. ” “ Okay. We'll have to start preparing for a good show. ” Her smile reminded me that despite it all, she was with me and it meant a lot, really. “ Don't be too aggressive

> * Always remember, God loves you. He doesn't love anybody else, one grain of sand more than he loves you. * **** ------ Joseph ------ Her reaction stunned me to the core and all of a sudden, I was unable to recognize the girl in front of me. It was then I realized how wrong it was to judge a book by its cover. If I had any doubts, then it was cleared up the moment she opened her mouth. “ You idiot. ” She hissed. “ How dare you get back together with that traitor you call a best friend? Who gave you the effrontery to do something as big as this behind my back, fool? ” “ Tsk, my guess is right after all. You are nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing. ” “ You were deceived by my act, weren't you? I had actually thought you were intelligent and smart, who would have thought that you'll fall for appearances alone. ” “ It's a pity, Vera. How easy it was for me to compel you to reveal your true nature. This makes me wonder what will happen if you lose that so-called bet

* Love is life. *****" They had always thought you guys were dating. ” Evie's words caught Mira's attention. She retracted her gaze from the ornamental plants ahead of her and stared at Evelyn.They were presently at a chicken restaurant a few blocks from their university. " I mean our schoolmates at high school. "" Oh. " Mira relaxed, taking a long sip of her yogurt." But we weren't. "" It seemed like it as you both were very close, you could be likened to siblings. "" Yeah. " Mira couldn't help smiling as a memory dropped in her mind. *Flashback*" Jose, I always wanted a brother. An elder brother to be precise but I never got one and it sucked. " Fourteen years old Mira complained to her Best friend as they both laid on the grass." But now you've got one. " Unlike what she was expecting, a smile and those simple words was what she got in response." What do you mean? " She stared at him in confusion." I'll be your brother.

>* Love is the most beautiful thing on Earth; It can make or mar a person. *****" Jose? " Mira called out after several minutes of simply resting in his embrace, the latter had thought she'd fallen asleep until she spoke. " Um?" " What do you love most about me? Like what made you fall in love with me? " His hand which was caressing her hair, paused hearing her question. " Mira... " Joseph detached himself from her embrace, held up her chins and stared straight into her eyes." The first day I met you; I fell in love with your innocence and cuteness. Then, I fell in love with how you express yourself and finally how you love. "" How do I love? ” She stared at him inquisitively. " Yeah. The way you love is remarkable. I can never forget the day I got injured on the football field. The care and concern I saw in your eyes that day made me forget about my pain. For a moment, it felt like you were the one injured and not me and it's really noteworthy. ""So you love how I love

* Love covers all. *****Evie quietly left the room to give the duo some private space. Though, Joseph hid himself well, call it a woman's instinct but she sensed his presence.She nodded at Him giving him the signal he needed. Joseph advanced slowly to where Mira had her head bowed, eyes filled to the brim with tears. " Mira... " He called out to her slowly as he waited for her to raise her head, it took longer than he expected and when she finally did. He gasped in shock at how red her eyes were. " Babe... " He felt his heart being pricked by a knife. " Hey... " Seeing her non response, he wrapped her in a bear hug. In turn, Mira hugged him tightly." I love you, Miranda. " Perhaps those words were what she had been waiting for all along as she broke down as soon as she heard them. Love, She heard it covers everything. The thirteenth chapter in the book of the first Corinthians explained it so well, as it said, " If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, bu

>* True friends are those that never leave. *****Grayson Miller did lay low, just as his Grandfather had advised. Though he almost couldn't control himself whenever he saw Joseph and Miranda together. Oftentimes, it hurt so much that he had to push the wall to calm himself down. As much as he wanted to do something, anything to make himself feel better he couldn't.He'd promised his Gramps and definitely wouldn't let him down even if it meant him having to endure the pain of a bruised ego.****On a weekend, The trio were crashing at Joseph's home to escape from the hustle and bustle of their campus. Mira was lying in bed, while Evie browsed through social media on her phone." Evie, I have been bothered lately. " Mira said all of a sudden as she opened her eyes slowly. " Oh? What's up? " Evie dropped her cell phone and sat up straight in front of her. " Actually, I have been thinking. "" About what? "" What if I am actually wasting my youthful years by being so dedi

>“ When God is everything you've got. You've got all you need. ”**** On her way to her apartment, Mira had a foreboding that something wasn't right.So instead of going to her apartment, she headed over to Joseph's office in her car. While in the car, she gave Evie a call and told her about the change of plans. “ Is everything ok, Bestie? ” Hearing the concern in her tone, Mira was touched. She wondered what goodness she had done, for her to be rewarded with a Bestie like Eveyln. “ I am fine. And everything's fine. '' Mira paused. “ I'll tell you all about it later, Kay? '' Evie let out a sigh. “ Okay then. Take care. ”“ Thanks. ” Mira hung up with a smile, placing her phone in the phone stand, she started the car. She arrived at Joseph's office just in time to see the staff leaving. They all gave her car weird stares. Ignoring them, she wore her shades to cover up her exhausted eyes. All she wanted at that moment was to find a place to lay down, but she couldn't

>“ God will never leave you, nor forsake you. ” *****Days passed and the trio had slowly been able to blend in with their life on campus.Though most times, their lectures go on for hours, leaving them tired and exhausted. Despite that, they all made time for one other, making them the envy of them all. On this particular day,Mira had just finished a four hour lecture and was completely exhausted when Serra approached her. “ Hey. ” she smiled at her, strapping her bag carefully on her back. “ Hi. ” Though her greeting was normal, Mira noticed that the latter was checking her out. “ Are you really living off, Joseph? ” Mira paused and then stared at her. “ Who told you that? ” Serra folded her arms around her chest proudly like the peacock she was. “ It's no longer a secret, is it? ” ( A/N : Should I name her Miss Peacock instead, guys? LoL. )Receiving no response from Mira, she continued. “ Joseph is too good for you and you know that. ” her words were meant to hu

>* God knows you better than you know yourself. ****First day on campus.“ Evie. ” Mira called out whilst looking out of the window at the fast moving vehicles which she was fascinated by.The atmosphere was pretty cool and comfortable, the pretty ornamental plants by the roadsides reminded Mira of how promising the day would be. “ Yes, Mira? '' Evie was looking at the other side of the window, unlike Mira she wasn't distracted by the cars but by the billboards on the highways.One of them ‘said’ something which caught her attention. “ Love never dies. ”But if that's really true, why then does it feel like the love between her and her partner is diminishing as the day goes by? He said he loved her right?He promised to keep holding her hands till the end of time, right? So what changed? Was it the passage of time?Or the absence of intimacy? “ Do you believe God speaks to us through the atmosphere? ” Mira's words caught her attention.“ What? ” Evie stared at her in sho

> * Forgiveness sets you free. *****The large courtroom was partly filled that Friday morning. The atmosphere was surprisingly warm, despite the gloominess in the room.A sign hung on the outside wall which said, “ Court in session. ”Mira sat beside Joseph looking super pretty in a yellow sun dress. It was summer anyways and the dress went well with the occasion. She was nervous, despite the fact that she strove hard not to show. “ It's going to be okay, Babe. ” Joseph squeezed her hands as a way to reassure her. Mira smiled softly.She didn't know how she was going to react, seeing the murderers of her parents standing right in front of her, even after playing the scene a dozen times in her mind… She still felt nervous as the moment drew near.And it eventually did, involuntarily she sucked in a deep breath, leaving her throat dry and bare as she watched the duo being brought to the stands.Her eyes met with Henry's then Nicole's, they averted their gaze almost immedi

> * 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
