> * 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

> * Live each day as if it may be your last on earth, cos it may be. * **** ------ Mira. ------ I was seated on my bed in deep thoughts, but was interrupted when a knock rang at the door. “ Come in. '' I said, obviously knowing who was at the door. The door opened to reveal Jose, holding a tray of food in his hands. He placed the tray on the bedside table in front of me. “ Thank you. ” “ You are welcome. ” He brushed his hair away from his face. “ Here, Evie just called asking after you. ” He said, handing me my cell phone. “ Oh, Thanks. ” “ My pleasure. Enjoy your meal. I'm off. ” I watched him walk out of the room. I dialed Evie's number just minutes after he left. The call was picked up at the second ring, it almost felt like she'd been waiting for my call. “ Hey baby girl! How are you feeling now? ” Her concerned voice rang through the phone. “ Hi. I am feeling a lot better. What about you? ” “ That's great to hear. I'm okay. So what are you up to right

> * Even if it's difficult, you must try to normalize your life as best as you can. * ****------- Joseph. ------ I was surprised and ecstatic at the same time, when Miranda said she'd forgiven me. Really? I'd actually thought it'll take a while before I would actually be able to earn her forgiveness, but who knew. Knowing she never blamed me for what happened, was too good to be true. Nevertheless, I knew I had to do better and atone for my multiple mistakes, even though she'd said almost nothing about them. At that point, I realized how much of a priceless gem Miranda was and how stupid I'd been to let go of her. It made me wonder how much I actually trusted her. I detached myself from her after a while and then noticed just how rough her hair was. I wasn't surprised by that, as knowing Miranda, she's always lazy when it comes to her hair. I pulled her up and sat down in front of the vanity. All this while, she was staring confusedly at me. “ Let me help you brai

> * I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. * **** ------ Mira. ------ I was surprised when Jose offered to braid my hair, though that had been a norm in our friendship. But after the breakup, it's been different. That simple action of his, made hope to spring up from within me. Does this really mean we can still recover our friendship and everything we've lost? Like everything? The simple thought made joy spring up within me. Must I say, I've missed this and all of this. His phone rang and as expected, it was Vera calling. I didn't miss the change in his expression on receiving her call which was a complete contrast to what it actually was. I formulated a plan in my mind, while he made that call and at the end of it, I'd come up with the perfect plan. “ Do you have a plan? ” Joseph inquired after ending the call. “ I do. I will tell you after breakfast. ” I replied. “ Okay. Let's head down for breakfast, already. I'm starving. ” I Chuckled

> * Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. ( Psalms 2vs8 ) * **** ------- Mira. ------- On getting to my room, I crashed into the bed and laid there for about ten minutes before doing some practice questions on my laptop. Now, I knew how important it was to have textbooks and past questions on one's laptop. Thankfully, I downloaded the app which turned out to be very helpful. Time passed, I was about to start a new section of questions when I received a call from Evie. Picking up my cellphone which was on the bedside table, I swiped the answer button. “ Hey, Babe. Wassup? ”“ I'm okay, Miranda. What about you? ” “ I'm alright. You sound utterly dull today. Is anything the matter? ” “ Can we chat instead? ” “ Sure. ” I connected to my social media almost immediately and received a message from her. : Mira, Are you there? : I am. So tell me, what's the matter? : I honestly d

> * Self love is self discipline. If you want to be happy you have to love yourself enough to practice self discipline. * **** ------- Joseph. ------- I found myself pondering on Nanny's words as I rode my power bike around the estate. Though her words came out blunt. I still couldn't deny the fact that they were all true. Nanny was right, completely right. I fucked up greatly! Geez! I hadn't been thinking straight all this while, and Nanny's words were just what I needed. It was now I realized the extent of my stupidity to have disregarded everything for Vera. Vera, the girl who had never truly cared about my well being, yet I was willing to give up everything for her. How could I have fallen so hard for her sweet words and fake innocence. I'd believed everything she said as truth, how could I have done that? Was she so good at lying, or was I simply too blind to see the truth? Nevertheless, it's completely human to make mistakes, isn't it? And realizing it, mean

> * Hang in there. God's gonna make you feel better. * **** ------- Mira. ------- † I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know. † I decided to take a short noon break, before moving on with my daily activities. I'd just turned on my music app when my favorite christian song, “ You say ” by Lauren Daigle started playing. The song meant a lot to me, as it had gotten me through some of my weakest and toughest times. Mixed with meditation, it worked like magic in renewing my self confidence. “ Ooh oh. You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak And You say I am held when I am falling short And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours And I believe, (I) oh I believe (I) What You say of me (I) I believe. ” I sang the lyrics along with the

> * It's hard nowadays to see someone pursue their dreams and attain them. * **** ------ Joseph. ------- After making all the preparations, I went over to Nanny's room to ask for her permission. On getting there, I saw that she was now reading another book. I wasn't surprised, knowing how much of a fast reader she was. Besides, she was almost done with the atonement child when I walked in earlier. Her current book was titled, a vessel of honor. Written by a renowned christian writer, Rebecca Brown. A devoted christian who was willing to go through hell for the kingdom's sake. Her story had never ceased to amaze me, as not everyone who calls himself a christian is willing to go through that much for the kingdom. Most prefer pleasure to actually doing the things of the kingdom and it's really saddening. “ What's up? ” Nanny said, without even looking up at me. Her eyes were completely glued to the pages of the book, so much that she didn't bother looking at me. I was used

> * Life will offer you so many wonderful things and some trials and tribulations. * **** ------ Mira. ------ The atmosphere at the beach was very cool and serene, exactly the way I love it. Staring at the vast sea before me, I found myself recalling a scene from the christian movie, Breakthrough that I'd watched recently. The male lead and his friends were doing some practice on the iced sea. when all of a sudden the ice collapsed and they ended up falling into it. While his other two friends managed to stay afloat till help arrived, he wasn't so lucky as he fell deep into the icy cold sea. He was rescued later on by the rescue team. but it was almost too late by then. He was already unconscious by the time he was brought out and in a very critical state. In the operating room, the doctors tried all they could to revive him but failed, as he had no pulse. While the others lost hope, his adoptive mother Joyce didn't. She did what she knew how to do best, Praying. And
