> * If you can get yourself to do things you hate to do but have to do. On the other side is greatness. * **** ----- Mira. ----- “ Thanks a lot, guys for your advice. ” She said in a less solemn voice. “ You are welcome. ” “ It's our duty as your friends. ” “ Still, I feel like I owe you both a big thank you. ” “ If you say so. Do you feel better now? ” Jose inquired. “ Yes. ” “ Great. How about we do some revisions together before we all go to bed? ” “ That's a good idea! ” “ But guys, how can we do revisions together when you two don't take accounting? ” “ It's possible. Jose and I took bookkeeping classes in junior high. ” “ I know, but. ” “ Stop giving excuses and let's get started already! ” Jose interrupted. “ Okay. If you say so. ” She said, finally relenting. **** “ Define Depreciation. ” The first question was by Jose. “ Depreciation is defined as a gradual loss in the value of an asset as a result of wear, tear, passage of time, obsolescence and

> * Ensure that God takes first place in your life. * **** ------ Miranda. ----- I'd been ecstatic when Evie informed me about how well her exam went. Though it wasn't my exam, I couldn't help the feeling of gratitude that filled me. For now, I have been studying for my literature examination which will be written the day after tomorrow. That reminds me, Joseph is having his Physics examination tomorrow isn't he? Now that I think of it, we haven't chatted all day as I have been busy studying and working. Though Joseph and Evie had tried to make me stop working and simply focus on my academics. Despite how much they tried and how many points they made, I didn't give in to them as I knew how much I needed the extra cash I received, for my college expenses. I can't wait to be a college student. I am feeling so excited about it already! Not sure if everyone feels this way though, but I really do. [ A/N : I do too. In a little way. ] I decided to Facetime Jose,

>* If you wanna do something in your life, you gotta fall in love with yourself again. ***** Saturday,Evie and Miranda had just finished their three hour long revision and were lying side by side on the bed in Jose's guest room.“ I was wondering, Mira. What's your plan for the holidays after our final exams? ”“ Well. Nothing much. I will work more on my work in progress and read some books. ” “ Really, Mira? Is that how you spend your holidays? ”“ Yeah. What about you? ”“ Well, my Dad and I usually travel to the mountains to spend our holidays. ”“ Oh. That sounds super fun. ”“ Yeah. ”“ You know Mira I had been meaning to ask you about something. ” Evie said after a few minutes of silence.“ Sure. What Is it? ” Mira turned towards her and they were now lying side by side. “ Um. First you have to promise not to laugh at me. ”“ Oh…Pinky promise. ” They joined their little fingers together as a sign of promise.“ Do you know, Evans Georgia? ”“ The guy who's nicknamed

>* 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.

>* It's only through patience and endurance in faith that we receive the promises of God. *****Three weeks later,It was a day to prom and Miranda had been compelled to stay over at Jose's by her two best friends. Though she found it unnecessary as she could always go to prom from the orphanage. 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

>* God yearns to see you become all he has planned for you to be. ***** ------ Author's POV. -----Mira had just gotten out of bed after a six hours long sleep when Joseph walked into the room. “ You are awake. ” He said with a smile on seeing her.“ Yeah. ” She replied, yawning.“ Happy New Month, Miranda. ” She didn't know when he'd gotten in front of her until he embraced her. “ Oh wow, so it's July already, wow. ”[ A/N : It's May 8 here, three days to my birthday, wink. ]“ Yup. ”“ How time flies. ” She replied, embracing him back.“ Indeed. ”“ Is Evie here, yet? ”“ Nah. 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

* 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. " He grinned, saying the words. " Baby sis."" Th

>* 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
