My Best Friend : He's the one I have Eleven
>* You gotta find what you love. *****----- Joseph ------Vera was dressed in the school's uniform; light purple shirt, dark purple flay skirt, white pop socks and black flat shoes. Her long hair covered half of her face as she scrolled through her phone with her well manicured fingers. She didn't notice my presence even when I stood right beside her. “ Hey Babe. ” She looked up immediately, I didn't miss the beautiful smile that made its way to her lips the moment she saw me. “ Hey, Joe… ” She stood up and crashed into my embrace, hugging me tightly. “ I've missed you a lot. "Her words made my heart swell with wonder and pride. “ Me too. ” I replied, patting her hair.We remained in that position for minutes in silence until she spoke up, “ I've missed your presence greatly. ” I sighed, breaking the hug. “ Let's have a seat. ” I pulled her towards the chair and we both took a seat side by side. “ Have you ordered? ”“ Not yet, I was waiting for you. ” she said w

> * If dreams were easy, everyone would make it happen. * *** ------ Mira ------ Saturday, I headed to the restaurant earlier than usual today, since I now have less commitments. The sky was clear and beautiful. I'd always loved staring up at the sky as a child. An almost forgotten memory from my childhood flashed in my mind. I was 4 years old and popularly known as the Daddy's girl. It was on my birthday and we had a picnic at the beach. Though old enough to move around, I stay clung to my Dad like a koala. “ Dad, what are those little shiny things in the sky? ” “ They are called stars, Ira. ” “ What are stars? ” “ They are huge, glowing balls of gasses and each one of them is bigger than the earth. ” “ Really, Dad? ” “ Yes, Ira and you know what? ” “ What's it, Dad? ” “ There are about 200 billion trillion stars in the universe and God knows them all by name. ” “ Wow. ” I remembered the companionable silence that had reigned between us, before I spoke u

> * There's power in momentum. * **** ------ Mira ------ I rolled on my bed for the time being, not able to sleep despite being exhausted. Though it's been several hours since Felicia and I spoke, I couldn't stop pondering on her plan. Though it appeared perfect and flawless from a stranger's point of view, when I looked at it from a close range, I could see the many flaws in it. She'd asked me to appear defeated and deflated, as this way, Vera and her friends will be able to relent thinking they've won. Then, I'll use that opportunity to penetrate into their circle and sow discord among them. It seemed very simple and concise, but is it really? Definitely not. First because Vera isn't just a beauty, but a very intelligent, smart and cunning one, her friends were also the same. So why wouldn't they suspect if I started being friendly and docile towards them? They definitely aren't stupid. Because if they were, they wouldn't have succeeded in capturing the hea

> * Everytime you lose at something, you are one step closer to winning the next time. * **** ----- Joseph ------ I'd always been an expert at decision making. “ Don't think of the odds, just follow your Intuition. ” Has been my mantra. But now? I'm faced with a tough decision which requires me not to only follow my intuition, but also my heart as this concerns two ladies in my life. One is my best friend of over five years and the second is the love of my life, Vera Lynn. I've seen a lot of guys have both a best friend and a girlfriend and succeeded in maintaining a balance. But why is mine so different? Couldn't Mira have simply been happy with my relationship with Vera and not tried to split us apart? If she had, then I wouldn't be stuck between two mountains. “ We'll always be together right, Jose? ” The image of fourteen year old Miranda flashed in my eyes. It was May 3rd, on my sixteenth birthday and we'd sat in the living room consuming the remnants of th

> * Don't just dream. Dream big. * **** Flash back ( 1 ) “ I'm feeling dizzy, Jose! ” Thirteen year old Mira complained, as she ran ahead with her best friend trailing right behind her trying to catch up with her. “ Stop chasing after me. ” She pleaded, increasing her pace as her plea fell on deaf ears. She ran till she was out of the house and collapsed on the ground, Joseph caught up with her and laid right beside her on the slightly damp grass. They laid there for several minutes in silence, simply staring at the clouds. “ The sky is beautiful today, Jose. ” “ It's always beautiful, Miranda. ” His sullen voice was heard beside her. “ Maybe, but I don't see the beauty of it on most days. ” “ Yeah, but the fact remains that it's always beautiful. ” He paused, “ It's just like life, you know. It's said that it's 10 percent of what happens to us and 90 percent how we react to it. There are good and bad days, we simply have to learn to maintain a balance be

>* Treasure every moment. *****Flash back ( 2 )The duo had just finished doing the dishes and were about heading out to the public library to study for their upcoming exams when Nanny's voice rang from behind them. “ Let's watch a movie tonight, what do you guys say? ”Mira was the first to react, “ Like a movie night? ” She'd always been a huge fan of movies and never let any chance to view a good one slide. “ Yup. ”“ I'd love that. ” she grinned widely, staring at her Bestie. “ What do you say, Jose? ”Seeing the joy brimming in her orbs, Joseph couldn't bring himself to say no, “ It's a good idea. ”“ Cool, so be prepared. We are going to be having a movie night by 7pm. ” Nanny said as she headed to her room.“ Okay, Na. ”The duo biked to the public library which was a twenty minute ride, from the house. The library was almost filled up, despite it just being eight in the morning on a weekend. It really seemed like there were others who were super excited to read as t

> * Make every second of your life count. * *** Flash back ( 3 ) Two years later, “ Jose, do you understand the concept behind, matrix? ” Mira inquired during their now usual late night study. They were both seated in front of the study table, side by side. “ I do. Do you need any help with it? ” He said, turning to face her. “ I do. We were taught earlier by Mrs Crawford, but I wasn't able to catch up with her explanations at some point. ” she said. “ Makes me wonder what you were thinking about. ” He said mischievously. “ That's none of your business. ” Even as she said that, a faint blush made its way to her cheeks. “ Oh wow, my Bestie has caught feelings for someone. ” he stood up and crouched in front of her. “ So tell me, who's he? ” “ Well… ” Though she was fifteen years old, Miranda still found it a bit weird talking to someone about her feelings. “ I'm waiting. ” he made a face, causing her to chuckle. “ It's Fredrick Everest. ” she replied at long

> * Do the right thing even when nobody knows you are doing the right thing. ---- Oprah Winfrey. * **** ------- Mira ------- The ache in my heart grew as the memories swirled in my head and soon my eyes welled up with hot tears. The memories were just so many. Movie nights, book hauls, going hiking, picnics, beach parties, etc. Jose was a big part of my pre teen and teenage years, he holds a big part of my life and memories. He was my backbone, my confidant, my best friend. He was everything I could ever dream of. My life started making sense when I met Jose. And now? Breaking up hurts. And it especially sucks when you are required to let go of someone you love and care about so much. Someone who'd always been there for you. Someone who had filled up those empty spaces of your heart. Someone you've always believed you'll be together forever. It hurts so much that nothing could be compared to it. Why does life have to be so cruel to me? Why do I always

My Best Friend : He's the one I have Epilogue
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
