* Never cease praying for God's will to be done in your life. *

Saturday before resumption week.
Joseph and Mira sat side by side on the roof top of, His house as they watched the night sky together...
Mira had her head rested on, Joseph's shoulders while the later had his arms around her...

The atmosphere was filled to the overflow with love and romance.

" You know, Joseph... Mom and Dad told me something about us that I never knew. "
Her sudden words caught, Joseph's attention.
He had been waiting for her to open up about what her and her parents had talked about but never thought it'd be this soon.
" So what did they tell you? " Joseph inquired curiously.
Mira took a deep breath before speaking again. " You know I always believed in divinely ordained partners? "
" Yeah... you are always fond of saying something like, " I'll only get marriage to my divinely ordained partner and no one else. "
" You right... Seems like you do pay more attention to my words than I think. " She giggled.

" Of course I do... Whose words will I pay attention to if not my baby girl's? " He said with so much seriousness that Mira couldn't help but chuckle.
" Too much sweetness isn't good for your health, Jose. "
" But I have never complained of, High blood sugar... Have i? "
" Well... Whatever. "
" Um... So continue. "
" I have never really thought much about it... As I believe that when the right times comes I'll meet my partner. "
" Hm... " Joseph simply nodded not saying a word as he urged her to continue her words.
" But who would have known that I have already met him. " Mira smiled.
Joseph found himself raising an eyebrow at her. " Really? "
" Yeah... Dad made me to understand that, Our creator would never leave one comfortless and without company. "
" True... He always finds a way. Remember, Psalm 27 : 10 where the psalmist wrote something like, " Even if my father and my mother forsake me then the Lord will take me up. " Which means, even if both our parents abandons us or forsakes us... The Lord will find ways to adopt us and makes us feel loved and wanted. "
" Right... " Mira sighed. " Dad told me about Destiny helpers and how unique their purpose is... He also made me to understand that I happened to be among the few lucky ones that had their Destiny helper and divinely ordained partners to be one person. "
" Okay... "
" Jose... " Mira detached herself from, His embrace as she stared straight at him and he did same.
" Dad made me to understand that you are that divinely ordained partner I have been searching for... We are made for each other... Just like, Adam and Eve in the Bible... But unlike them, we are to work hand in hand to work for him and bring his will to pass. "
For some moments... Joseph froze hearing her words...
He was unable to move...
He still couldn't believe what he was hearing... " Mira was his destined partner for life? His divinely ordained partner?
Is that why he had been having dreams of them holding hands and getting married? Becoming united at the holy altar?
He always knew... His purpose as her destiny helper... But he never thought she was his divinely ordained partner for life...
Something he had always prayed for...
It's really funny how he couldn't even believe it now that his prayers had come to pass....
Like he really couldn't!
Mira being his partner for life? Till death?
That was too much to ask for!
What more could he ask for now that his heart desire had come to pass?
What again?
" Jose? Jose? Are you okay? " Mira's worried voice brought him out of his stupor...
" Babe... " He called out as his eyes turned red. " My heart deepest desire has finally been granted. " He embraced her happily.
" So... You aren't aware of this? " She asked completely surprised.
" Maybe I was... But I just was too doubtful to admit it... I feel like it was just too good to be true. "
" Really it is... The realization that my childhood friend who became my best friend and now my boy friend will end up being my partner for life... Made me feel very overwhelmed... Just thinking of it makes me feel like the luckiest lady on Earth. "
" You sure are. " Joseph chuckled. " It's really nice to realize that my baby girl would also become my wifey. " He added pinching her nose.
" Who's your wifey? " Mira sent him a deadly glare.
" You are... " He stared at her up to down then back up again. " Though you don't have what it takes currently... But with time, you'll. "
" You! How dare you! " Mira got aggravated as she began hitting his chest with her fists.
" Hey, hey... " Joseph tried to stop her all to no avail as Mira just kept on hitting him non stop.
Until he got an idea and turned them over that he was lying directly on her...
Still, Mira didn't stop hitting him despite their change in position.
" If only you know how dangerous our position is right now then you'll stop hitting me. " Joseph said seriously but Mira couldn't understand him.
" Uh? " It was only when, Joseph covered her lips with his did she finally understand what he meant.
Somehow... She got distracted by the kiss and stopped hitting him..
And as always, just before things were about to get out of hand... Joseph stopped kissing her and raised himself up.
Staring at her flushed face, He couldn't help but say, " Seems like you really enjoy kissing me. "
" Says who, Jerk? " Mira quickly retorted.
" Hahaha... You should see how red you look... " Joseph laughed hard holding his stomach.
" You...! " As angry as, Mira got she couldn't do anything as Joseph was right... She indeed looked like a red tomato all as a result of a simple short kiss.
Later...
" Mira you know, the first time I met you... I felt that connection. It was just too unexplainable. All I wanted was just to make you happy and see you smile... The feeling has just been indescribable. "
" Really? "
" Yes... I also believed that our meeting was not a coincidence. "
" Joseph... " Mira held his hands while staring into his deep ocean blue eyes which was filled with so much love and adoration for her as she said those magical words. " I love you, Jose... Thanks for coming into my life and making me whole. "
" It's my pleasure, Mira... I'd never cease being grateful to the creator for giving me an Angel... So beautiful and unique.... Love you, Babe... "
" Gold is good, Diamond is much more preferred but I'll choose you over and over again rather than those! "
" Joseph... You and you alone are my Best friend and definitely the only one I have and need! "
" So is that a book title reveal? " He chuckled at the realization.
" Yeah... My newest novel is titled, My Best Friend : He's the one I have. "
" Oh wow... I bet it's all written about me. "
" You don't have to be so smug. "
" Still you can't deny that I have a million and one reasons to be! "
" Maybe... " Mira fell silent for some minutes before speaking up. " Jose... You and you alone are my motivation and my inspiration... Thanks again for coming into my life. "
" You welcome, Angel... "
" Now I can't wait to spend my college days with you! It's gonna be fun! "
" Same here's... " He smiled leaving a peck on her forehead.
" I don't mind what obstacles we'll face in future as long as we are together! Holding one another's hands till the end of time. "
" Yeah... Indeed. " He embraced her... " I am always here for you... " He whispered into her ears.
Just six simple words...yet it brought tears to Mira's eyes.
Indeed... Joseph was the only one she had and needed... He was a priceless treasure she couldn't afford to lose!
Even if it means she had to fight... She was ready!
As she realized that he was worth fighting for!
