My Best Friend : He's the one I have Sixty one
> * Dare to trust God's timing because it'll give you peace and rest. * **** Birthdays come once in 365 days. It's a day when we move from one age to another. A day we are supposed to feel so loved and cherished. In a nutshell, it's a special day that should be celebrated with loved ones. The question is, does everyone feel this way on their birthdays? **** ------ Author's POV ------ “ Hey Mira, wake up! ” Evielyn attempted to wake the sleepy head who was still cuddling her pillow tightly at eight o'clock in the morning. “ No. I want to sleep more. ” Mira whined subconsciously, pulling the blankets closer. “ That's not happening. You have to wake up now! ” Evie made her point as she pulled off the blanket. “ What is the problem with you, Evelyn? Miranda was filled with rage at having her sleep interrupted. “ It's not even morning yet! ” “ It is. ” Evie walked towards the curtains and lifted them, allowing bright light to come into the room. “ See? ” The la

> * If you trust God's timing then you will realize that it's for your own good. * **** ------- Author's Pov ----- “ Joseph is madly in love with your Best friend. ” This words kept ringing in Evie's head several minutes after the call had ended and she still found the information overwhelming and too good to be true. Her sister Lyra Raymond is a well known fashion designer and researcher, who resided in Paris with her fiance. Given how up to date she was about everything regarding fashion, lifestyle and social media, Evielyn never hesitated to go to her when she had questions regarding those. Looking at it closely, she realized that it was so far-fetched given how Joseph pays lots of attention to Mira's every need and want. He'd always been there for her, Education wisely, Health wisely and financially wisely even though the latter had complained a number of times about him spending his money on her. He just wouldn't listen. She could recall how pale he looked whe

> * The real reason God doesn't announce his timetable to you, is for you to trust his timing. * **** ------ Miranda. ------ I've been filled with curiosity and wonder from the moment I woke up. But come to think of it, the suspense had actually started yesterday when Jose asked that I stay over for the night. Though it'd been a normal thing, yet it was so sudden. Evielyn had also decided to stay over which had never happened before. Not only that, they'd also asked me to take a day off from work, which I have rarely ever done. “ What's going on actually? ” I thought to myself for the umpteenth time. I stared at Evelyn beside me, who I still haven't forgiven for interrupting my beauty. She'd been acting weird all day, asking me to freshen up, style my hair and dress up beautifully for an occasion I know nothing about. And now? She'd blindfolded me and was slowly leading me down the stairs. Can I know what's happening already? The suspension is killing me. It was then

> * Your name is engraved on the very palms of God's hands so he can't forget you. * **** ------ Mira. ----- “ Good morning, Na! ” I moved towards her. I didn't miss the smile that bloomed on her face on seeing me. “ Hey, Birthday girl. I hope you liked our surprise. ” “ I was stunned by it, Nanny. Thanks a whole lot. ” “ You are welcome. ” She beamed. “ You are looking absolutely stunning today, Miranda. ” Her comment made me blush. “ Thanks, Na. ” “ You know, Babe. Watching you grow daily into becoming a beautiful lady makes me emotional. It makes me think of the preteen who walked into Jose's life six years ago. It now feels like ages ago, doesn't it? ” “ Awn, Na. ” I closed the distance between us and wrapped my arms around her. Her words made me emotional as I thought about how much time had passed. I've changed from being a depressed and broken preteen into becoming a lady who's so matured and confident of the future. Oftentimes, I wonder where I would have be

> * God never delays without a purpose. * **** ------ Mira. ------ I wasn't expecting much, so was completely blown away when being showered with multiple gifts. Evielyn gifted me a diamond necklace with a red love shaped pendant. It was simple, yet priceless. Nanny gifted me a pack of hair clips and a set of pajamas. I received several miscellaneous items from my classmates and schoolmates which was very sweet. It was only after the gifting ceremony did I notice Jose's absence. Where could he have gone? I wondered looking around desperately. **** I went to my room to change my outfit, when the small party was over. There, I changed into a white jumper, blue jeans and some flip-flops. I was about to exit the room when my eyes caught sight of a spiral binded document on the bed. I advanced towards the bed and picked up the documents curiously, I was stunned at the opening title. ‘ Share Acquisition of Edison Corps. ’ Edison Corps? If I'm not wrong, that's my

> * You are not a mistake, you are not an accident. You are here for a reason. * **** “ So? You haven't given me a reply yet, have you? ” His words interrupted me from my thoughts. “ I haven't. ” “ When do you plan to? ” “ Soon. ” “ Okay. ” He advanced towards his wardrobe and got a t-shirt and pants from there. I stood there, watching him as he got dressed. “ Seems like you've acquired a new hobby now, isn’t it? ” His words brought me out of my stupor. “ What do you mean? ” “ Never mind. Anyways, I am taking my car out for a drive. Would you go with me? ” His offer was so sudden that I didn't know how to react. “ No. Yes. ” His lips curled up in a smile at my indefinite answer, “ Is it a no or a yes? ” “ What do you think? ” “ Are you flirting with me, Miranda? ” “ Me? Flirt with you? ” “ Are you asking me? ” “ Anyways. I gotta go now. ” He grabbed his wristwatch from his study desk and put it on. It was only then I remembered my reason for coming. “ Just a mi

> * Make no mistake. Your gifts will make room for you. * **** Two weeks later. After a lot of preparations, practicing and studying, the final examination finally arrived. The first day of the examination had a kind of different vibe to it. Perhaps it's because a lot of students were very nervous about the exam. Well, who wouldn't be anyways, since it's the final exams? Though there were two people who weren't and those two people are none other than our main characters, Mira and Joseph. As the first subject was English language which was a general subject all the students were seated around the school compound while they did some final preparations. Though there were others who didn't. The trio were seated together on a mat under a large mango tree which served as a shed. While Evie read some English comprehension, Mira and Joseph sat next to each other as they shared an earpiece whilst listening to some relaxing music. Mira rested on Joseph's shoulders in

> * When the world says you are not good enough. Remember the Lord Jesus Christ died for you when you were still a sinner. * **** Soon it was time for the examination. All the students went in orderly into the school's examination hall. Despite the school being a big one, the total number of students who were to sit for the final year exams were 200. While 70 of them were science students, 80 were art while the remaining 50 were commercial students. Despite the population of the students, the large hall didn't look crowded at all. Rather it was spacy. The students were all arranged according to the first letter of their surnames. Due to this, The trio didn't get to sit together. Not like it mattered anyways. They had made a promise not to participate in examination malpractice no matter what. Joseph ended up at the back seat. Mira was in the front seat while Evie was in the middle. The exam commenced just five minutes after they had all settled down. It was to last

* 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
