Semua Bab My Best Friend : He's the one I have: Bab 41 - Bab 50

> * 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

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

( 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

> * 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

> * 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
