* God will meet you wherever you are and help you get to wherever you need to be. *

****

Mira had gone to the kitchen to get some water, when she was entangled with Jose.

He held her down to the wall beside the fridge as he stared possessively at her. “ What are you doing, Jose? You are making me so uncomfortable! ” It was only when she voiced out her discomfort did he come back to his senses.

“ I’m sorry, I didn't realize I was. ” He replied, solemnly.

“ It's okay. Now tell me what's wrong. ” Mira said softly, cupping his face with her palms, his soft beard tickling her palms, causing her to smile on realizing that her Bestie was no longer a teenager, but a young man. How fast time flies, it still felt like yesterday when they'd both met at the amusement park, and now?

“ Tell me. ” She repeated after minutes of not earning a reply from him, she'd grown to understand this Bestie of hers and knowing him, he wouldn't react as he did if he hadn't been triggered by something.

Either way, they won as she simply had to relent...... ----- Miranda ----It was 9pm in the night, yet I was unable to fall asleep which was weird. My mind was hyperactive as so many thoughts, emotions and my memories played in my thoughts.While some memories were fun, others weren't.I thought about the good old days when my parents were still alive, it was then I realized how much I missed them and their princessly treatments of me. I miss my childhood days, but well, the truth is, no matter how much I miss them. I can't bring them back, I simply have to accept that they are all in the past. It's really a bitter pill to swallow. But yeah, that's how it is.I can recall how carin

    >* The end of every phase will show you a new beginning. *****------ Joseph. ------I was in my room making final preparations for prom the next day.When I was done, I laid in bed and did some meditations as I usually do before heading to bed. I was on Psalm 27 when all of a sudden, I felt the sudden urge to go and check up on Miranda.At first, I was hesitant not wanting to leave my meditation halfway. But I began to feel this loss of peace and focus, in the end I had no choice but to go. I didn't feel the need to change out of my pajamas, I simply wore my slippers and went out of my room.As Nanny was still out of town, Miranda and I were the only ones left in the house, the realization of this made me alarmed. “ What could possibly be going on with her? ” With this thought in mind, I quickened my steps and soon I was in front of her room. I had just opened the door when I stumbled backwards due to a high current. “ What's going on? ” I wondered as I began to pray inwardl

But she should be on her way. ”“ Um, okay – ” She was interrupted by her phone ringing. She reached out to pick it up, seeing it was an unknown number, she exchanged gazes with Joseph who urged her to pick it up.“ Long time no chat, Miranda. ” Her heart sank hearing the voice of her aunt, the second mastermind behind her parents death and abandonment. She couldn't speak for a while, until Joseph ur

    >* The key to happiness and fulfillment is not in changing our situation or circumstances, but in trusting God to be God in our life. *....The magnificent school hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion.The 25th prom for the final year students. It was similar to a graduation ceremony or must I say, a send off ceremony. The hall was packed to the brim with students who were all looking beautiful and glamorous in their attires.The hall grew quiet all of a sudden, it felt like time stopped as Evelyn and Miranda made their way into the hall hand in hand. They were like super models brought straight out of a magazine in their stunning simple cocktail dresses.While Evie's own was pink, Mira's was blue and they were both embroidered.Their appearance caused a stir as their schoolmates couldn't help but stare at them in awe. While some simply stared at the dress fascinatingly, others found the dresses familiar and began to research about it and that's when they realized

Though I still hadn't been able to forgive him and mom for abandoning me. I knew I still had to. Why? No matter how they are, I can't change the fact that they are both my parents.It was only at the meeting today did I finally realize the issue my dad's company was dealing with. As a result, the value of their shares had been plummeting.Dad somehow believes I could help him solve the problem, but how can I possibly do that when I've got little or no experience in that?In the end, I gave into his coercing but only on the condition that he'll transfer 15% of the company's shares to my name. He'd readily agreed to my request which surprised me. I was aware of how hard it was for business men to transfer their shares, even to their offsprings. Yet he did so readily, which meant he was very despe

Soon, it was time for the students' presentation.“ I called on Joseph Winfrey, the student's president, to take on the first presentation. ” The MC called out. It was only then Miranda noticed Joseph who was behind her. Their eyes locked and Joseph smiled, only for his smile to be returned with a blank stare. The latter wasn't ignoring him as she just didn't know how to react to his smile.Joseph stood up and walked confidently to the stage in his blue tuxedo. It was only then did most of the students notice him. The most astounding thing was that his blue tuxedo matched Mira's blue cocktail dress perfectly.Anyone who saw them together would think they were a couple.The duo in question didn't realize this until now.Evie, who was the mastermind behind this, had intentionally ordered a couple outfits for the duo without them knowing.It was almost like she'd pla

Unlike you. ”“ Alright, you don't have to be so sarcastic, girlie. ”“ Ah! Whatever. ” Evie replied, rolling her eyes. Brandon, one of their school mates, approached them with a dashing smile hanging on his lips.“ Hey girls. ”“ Hi. ”“ You both are looking breathtaking today. ”“ Oh. Thanks. "“ You look no bad yourself. ” Evie replied with a wink.“ Oh. Thanks. ” He scratched his hair nervously. “ Hm.

    >* 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

    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
