Mira drove her car straight to a convenient store. Cooking was something she learnt from her mother. She would sit and watch as her mother prepared variety of dishes for the family. She would bug her mother to teach her how to cook and her mother didn't disappoint her.At the age of twelve years, she was able to make her way around the kitchen with ease.It was something she prided herself with.Parking the car, she made her way to the store. She had in mind trying a new recipe she saw online. Today, she would be preparing an African cuisine. Spiced rice and veggies, served with peppered potatoes.She would also prepare braised pork ribs and half cooked french fries for salads.Mira busied herself shopping the necessary ingredients and did not notice the two women who were following her sneakily pretending to shop too." Grandma, I think this is a bad idea. We just turned to be some creepy stalkers." Maria murmured to the old lady." Shut up! did you suggest any other better solution.

" She just left and you already miss her grandma?" Maria questioned. She could see the longing in the old lady's eyes." Her life hasn't been a smooth one Maria. I blame myself for not finding her earlier." The old lady lamented.All those years, she kept waiting and hoping that her stubborn daughter will finally soften up and come back home. She had prayed for the day her family becomes whole again. Who would have thought that her daughter was no More.If she continued to wait, wouldn't she have to wait till her last breath? If that happened, her granddaughter would suffer all her life." Don't be sad Grandma. Since it's already happened, we can't do anything to change that. The best thing you can do is show her the love and concern she has missed for those years. Show her that you love her and will always do. That would be the best compensation you could ever give her." Maria advised.She was a person who lacked love for years and could relate to Mira's case. But after arriving at t

Mira went home after dropping Vera home. Since her plan to prepare a special meal for them was foiled, she could only result to cooking simple dishes.Timothy arrived later in the evening, a bouquet of flowers at hand." Wow, those are such beautiful flowers." Mira commented while accepting the flowers." Beautiful flowers for the most beautiful and attractive woman in the planet." Tim complemented with a sweet smile on his face." Such a sweet talker." Mira blushed hearing his compliments. He always had a way with his words especially when it comes to her." Come on in. Dinner is ready." she said, sidestepping to allow him to enter before she closed the door behind her." I could get used to this." Timothy said, referring to having someone wait for him at the door and food ready at the table." You could have it. All you need to do is pop the question Tim." Mira replied, winking at him." Are you serious?" He thought she was just joking because the last time they talked, she expresse

Vera couldn't complete her sentence when her eyes widened in surprise! Now that she thought about it, that wasn't entirely impossible.She lifted her face to look at Mira only to look away immediately.But how was that possible? He was incapable of siring children! Maybe she was Just overthinking things.But she realised how passionate they were on that night and she blushed.He was the first man she ever made love with. If she was truly pregnant, didn't that mean that guy lied to her about his impotence?But why would Joahkim lie to her? He was obviously sad that he couldn't father a child! He didn't seem to be lying to her. Why would he lie about something so serious in the first place? Everything was not making sense." You better start talking young lady!" Mira's voice forcefully pulled Vera from her thoughts.At this point, sfe knew she could lie her way out. She had to let the cat out of the bag and tell the whole story. She had her doubts and figured out that Mira might be the

Vera blushed from Joahkim's words. It was evident from her red face.To Joahkim, meeting Vera was the blessing God bestowed to him.She was beautiful, intelligent, kind-hearted and most importantly, sfe Loved him.Now that they were expecting a child, he truly couldn't wait to Marry her and have her Carry his surname.He always dreamt about a family where his wife and child lived happily.Now, that dream Just became a reality.All thanks to Vera.She was his lucky charm, sent to deliver him from his bondage.If that night didn't happen, maybe he would spend his life wallowing in self pity over his inability to sire children. He couldn't wait for tomorrow to come to verify that he was a healthy man, capable of reproducing.Not like he needed those test results, he already had an answer.Joahkim needed to have himself tested clinically so that he could proceed to file a complaint of a misdiagnosis.If that doctor colluded with Nora to ruin his life, he would return the favour.Friend or
