“ We don't choose who we fall in love with, but we can always choose who we stay in love with. ”

***

— Miranda —

“ Now it's time to apply your lip gloss. ” Evelyn said enthusiastically, getting me ready for only she knows what.

It's been over an hour and over the past few minutes, Evelyn has been adding different shades of makeup on my face. I'd been stunned when she offered to style my hair. “ When did she learn how to? ” But my disbelief further intensified when I stared at myself in the mirror.

I'd never looked more beautiful and I knew without an ounce of doubt that the super models in magazines paled in comparison to me.

“ Now that's done. ” She cheered, staring at me in the mirror.

“ Where are we going, Evelyn? ” I inquired for the umpteenth time, already expecting her timely answer. “ You'll find out soon. ” She sent me a wink before going off to my wardrobe.

Just when I'd thought she'd be gone for too long. She suddenly reappears with the most beautiful dress I've seen.

Do you think we made the right choice with our choice of course and institution? " Hearing her question, Joseph thought for a while before replying. " Are you having doubts already, Miranda? " " No... Just hearing a lot of testimonies about students being delayed for about a year or more only to realize later that it was God preventing them from making a big mistake, makes me wonder. " " Um... You've got a point, Mira... But one thing you have to realize is that we are all different. "" In what sense? "" In the sense that we are all different and Unique, destined for so much more... A purpose so priceless and important. "" Um... Continue.

    Volume 5* True love waits. *****Saturday night,Mira was about to head to her room when she was stopped by Joseph. " Wait. " She stopped to stare at him wondering why he stopped her. " Turn around. " Despite not knowing why he said that, she did as she was told. " Can I? " Of course she didn't know what he meant but nodded anyway since she knew he respected her and knew what her boundaries were even more than she does. She felt a gush of wind blow inside her as her brazier's hook was unclasped and her breast was freed up. Just before she could react. He turned her around and scrutinized her. " This is better. " With a smile on his face before handing her brazier to her...Mira stared dumbly at him not knowing how to react. Though they were dating and had kissed and cuddled multiple times... He had never offered to undress her and now? He did it without even asking her... What was she supposed to think?As if knowing what's on her mind, he spoke up. " I read online that wearing

    “ Absence makes the heart grow fonder. ”***Paris, France. “ I miss him, Evelyn. ” Miranda whispered, lying on the shoulders of the latter. They were currently on a train to a bridal shop.Though they could have done it earlier, Nanny had suggested that going shopping two weeks before the wedding was an amazing idea. “ I know. ” Evielyn patted her hair. “ It's all part of longing, Babe. ”“ Yeah… ”***The bridal shop was located at 4 rue Bernard - palissy. It's a popular shop, mostly frequented by celebrities due to their unique and outstanding dresses. “ Why do we have to spend so much on a wedding dress? ” Miranda had asked too many times to count and the answer she received stayed the same. “ Because you are the wife of the youngest billionaire in the country. ” “ Whatever. ” She replied with an eye roll. “ Welcome to A LA ROBE. ” An attendant greeted them as soon as they entered the boutique. “ Yeah. Thanks. ”“ What style of bridal dress do you seek? ” The young and bea

    “ How do you know someone loves and values you? You don't doubt it. ”*** — Miranda –“ Have you seen your dress? ” His velvety voice brought me out of my thoughts. I turned to face him on my phone screen. He was putting on blue pajamas and his hair was as messy as it could be. “ Yeah… ” “ Do you like it? ” His words were slow and careful. “ Yeah. ” I replied, clearly not interested in this conversation. It's been five days, yet it feels like forever and I miss him like crazy. “ Miranda… ” I stared at him and smiled when I recognized the longing in his eyes. “ I miss you. ” I choked on the words as the depth of my longing hit me. How could I miss someone so much? It's been just five days yet it feels like forever. Why does he now feel like a drug I'd been addicted to? Though it's the first time we've been separated in years, it's not meant to hurt this much. Should it?“ I know… me too. ” He sighed. “ I think of you every minute, Jose! ” I held back my tears. “ Does that sound n

I removed the hair out of my face as the wind blew them all over. “ Miranda… ” That voice. I became frozen in place. Slowly I turned around and the sight of him in flesh and blood made my heart thud loudly. “ Jose. ” I wasted no time in pouncing on it and soon, I was in his arms, hugging and kissing him. “ Wow. ” He exclaimed, wrapping his arms securely around me. I kept trying to gain entrance into his mouth and when he finally let me, I couldn't stop kissing him as tears blurred my vision. I'd missed him so much… too much. Despite it being just two weeks. How can I possibly miss someone so much? How?“ Miranda. ” I didn't realize I'd been sobbing uncontrollably until he retracted himself from me and cupped my face. “ My love. ” I stared up at his blue eyes, the ones I've

I didn't know just how much I missed him until then. We've been separated for just hours, yet it felt like forever.But I was comforted knowing we won't be apart from today onwards, though the idea of becoming one with him still scares life out of me.“ Thanks, Bess. ”I sent him a short reply, I had just dropped my phone when I saw a ding.I was surprised to receive a reply to my message.

As I matched forward towards the altar that day, the very one my bride and I will be joined together in front of the Lord.

    **** Wedding night. **** “ His ways are not our ways and his thoughts are not our thoughts. ” **** As the ceremony slowly came to an end, Mira felt her heart racing. It didn't help much that Jose, her new husband, kept staring at her with that look, she hadn't identified yet as it was one she wasn't familiar with. “ You are now husband and wife. ” the words of the priest brought her attention back to the present. She stared at her lover and couldn't deny the love and compassion she saw in his eyes. She could do this, couldn't she? For him and their love, she could overcome her fear of intimacy, couldn't she?****— Joseph. — I felt Mira's hand froze in my warm ones as I carried her bridal styled up the stairs. “ Could she really be afraid? ” I wondered.We've both waited for this day for so many years already and now that it's here.

    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
