> * There's no one else in creation like you, there's no one like you. Nobody can do it like you. * **** ------ Mira. ------ “ What are we going to do about your shirt, Miranda? Lunch break will be over soon. ” Evie's words broke the silence and for a moment there, I wondered if I was actually the one in need or her. Her worry and concern touched my heart. It definitely wasn't something I was used to. I've only experienced being cared for and loved by Joseph and Nanny. No one else. “ I really don't know, Evie. ” “ I don't know either. I'm currently out of options. ” “ What if we —- ” My words were caught short at the sight of Vera Lynn. What is she doing here? I wondered. Evielyn and I exchanged looks of confusion and perplexity. Vera had no business with us, or does she? “ Look who we've got here. ” She walked in proudly. “ Best friends forever, they say, don't they? ” We simply stared at her dumbly. “ But does that really exist? Especially now that it's becom

> * Be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you are not, life will drive you. — Oprah Winfrey. * -------- Joseph. ------ I'd always heard about the pain of heartbreak, but I have never really felt it before. I didn't want to believe what I was hearing. I definitely do not want to. I very much want to believe it's just a dream, one I'll soon snap out of. Just that, it isn't. This was reality, one that's too cruel and I can't deny. “ All I did was say a few lovey dovey words and he fell at my feet and now? He follows me around like a stray dog. Haven't you seen how he acts like a love sick fool around me? ” A stray dog and a lovesick fool? Is that all I really mean to her? Those words were like poison seeping into my bloodstream and polluting it. How could she say that about me when all I'd ever done is love and adore her? How? “ Who cares about love nowadays, anyways? It's all business, Bae. ” Her words caused the aching in my heart to intensify. I found it diff

> * You've got to Realize that the most valuable thing you have is today. * **** ----- Mira. ----- I arrived at my class just in time for the literature class to commence. Literature is no doubt my most favorite subject. The class was interesting and insightful as always, it was a book review. The book we read was the secret history by Donna Tartt and a collection of poems by Hayao Miyazaki The interactive class was super fun and interesting. During the course of it, Eva stood up and asked one of the major questions on my mind, which was why the books we read in literature class are mostly ones written by oldies and not youngsters. James Washington, our literature teacher, had the best answer. And soon we dived into a discussion which lasted forever. I stayed back in class, while I awaited Evielyn's arrival after the closing bell rang. The latter had informed me that she'll be ten minutes late as they had some stuff to settle with their commerce teacher. “ Tsk, I ca

> * Make your life matter because one day it will be over. * **** -------- Joseph. ------- On my way back to the class, I made up my mind to act normal so Vera wouldn't suspect anything. The last thing I wanted was for her to suspect I'd eavesdropped on their conversation. But as they say, it's super easy to plan, but hard to act out. At least, I succeeded in not acting violently when I saw her in class. I walked to my seat which was obviously next to her as we were seat mates. At that point, I hated that very fact. “ Hey. ” She'd got that beautiful smile clad on her face as always. I would have fallen for it and thought of myself as lucky an hour ago, but not now. Especially not now. My heart didn't skip a beat as usual which was definitely a good sign. The last thing I wanted was for my heart to start making excuses for her. Rather, I felt disgusted by her. How could one be so good at pretending? “ Hi. ” I replied, taking my eyes off her. She didn't seem to notice my

> * To live is the rarest thing in the world, because most people exist and that's all. * **** ------- Mira. -------- I arrived at Jose's home, earlier than usual. I entered the living room and met Nanny sitting on the couch in deep thoughts. “ Nanny. ” I called out to her and almost immediately she raised up her head and stared at me. “ You are here, Hon. ” She arose and smiled at me. “ Yes, Nanny. ” I advanced towards her, “ Don’t worry, Na. Jose will be fine. He'll be turning twenty soon, remember? ” “ I know, Hon. But I can't help it. ” Her words reminded me of why she was so lost and worried. Following his parent's divorce, Jose had fallen into depression which took him almost four years to finally come out of. During those four years, he'd been going from therapist to therapist, unable to attend classes due to his mental state. I could relate to that delay, as I too was unable to go to school for almost two years following my parents demise. My uncle h

> * Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. * **** ----- Joseph. ----- The first thing I took note of on regaining consciousness was the heavy weight on my chest. My eyes opened up slowly and I was stunned at what it was. Mira was half hugging me in her sleep with her head on my chest. The closeness was weirdly unfamiliar. Though we've cuddled a number of times over the past five years of our friendship, it still felt different after the three weeks separation. How did we get here? I wondered. “ Jose. ” I recalled her calling out to me, and holding me in her arms while I broke down in her embrace. I remember how comfortable and sweet her embrace was, so comfy and addicting that I was lured to sleep. But what was she doing here in the first instance? Shouldn't she be at the orphanage or something? In my heart, I knew she'd come here for me. But I don't deserve that, do I? After all I'd done. Isn't it funny how those we push away are those who ar

> * If you can feel it, it's real. * **** * Happy 40 chapters, guys! * ------- Joseph. ------ I met Nanny dozing off on the love seat in the sitting room. “ Nanny, Nanny. ” though I felt guilty for trying to wake her up, I was helpless. What would I do without her? Her eyes opened as a frown marred on her face. “ What's the matter, Joseph? ” “ Mira is having a fever. ” “ Oh no, what. ” Her palms were on her mouth in shock. It took her approximately two minutes to finally recover. “ Go and stay with her. I'll be there soon. ” I nodded at her words, finally heading back upstairs to my room. I got some thin fabrics, soaked them in water and squeezed them a little before placing them carefully on Mira's burning forehead. I repeated the process several times, holding her hand gently. The door opened to reveal Nanny holding a cup. She walked towards me and handed me the cup. “ What's this? ” The contents of the cup were whitish in color. “ It's a fever-reducing table

> * Don't take for granted this magical thing called life. * **** ------- Mira. ------- It felt like I'd been on an endless journey, which left me feeling so tired and exhausted. My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I noticed was the familiar, yet so unfamiliar ceilings. Right before I could start thinking too much, I felt hunger surge through me, making me pause. Only then, did I recall that I didn't have dinner before heading to bed yesterday. “ What time is it? ” I wondered, feeling like I've asleep since forever. I managed to get up from the bed, but my leg turned jelly on taking a step and I fell backwards. And just when I thought I was going to land on the ground. I was engulfed in a familiar warm embrace. It was so familiar that I didn't need a priest or prophet to tell me who it was. I was able to steady myself and soon came face to face with Jose. Who looked like he'd just gotten out of the shower. “ Thank you. ” Nodding, he tucked a loose tendril of m

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
