Anelโ€™s POV?

I was about standing up too when Liam surprised everyone by pulling Artist Shaw into a hug.

What!
Am i starting to see wrongly?
Itโ€™s real!
Liam is hugging artist Shaw!
Wow!

I glanced at everyoneโ€™s face one after the other and surprise was written all over.
Artist Shaw looked surprised also but he hugged Liam back and smiled broadly.

Dan waved at me in greetings and i waved back.
I smiled and gave a small wave Mike who was grinning, obviously about to start another trouble,i glanced at Ana and saw her grinning too.

Liam disengaged from the hug and then turned to Danโ€™s biological Mum.
โ€œEllen is this you?โ€ He asked.
โ€œYes Liam,how have you been?โ€ She asked.
Liam nodded without saying a word.
โ€œHi Lauraโ€ Liam waved at Mikeโ€™s mum who looked surprised as she waved back.

โ€œDan how are you?โ€ Liam asked him.
โ€œIโ€™m fine Liamโ€ Dan said before glancing back at me.
I shrugged.
โ€œHey little boyโ€ Liam said to Mike who hasnโ€™t stopped grinning.

โ€œHave your seat everyoneโ€ He said and i quickly adjusted and signalled Dan to sit beside me.
He did.

โ€œDan, who do you think is on that couch?โ€ I asked in a whisper, pointing to the couch Mil was seated.
โ€œHuh?โ€ He asked and glanced at the couch i was pointing at.
โ€œMilana Sydney!โ€ He exclaimed in surprise.

โ€œHi Danielโ€ Mil smiled.
โ€œOMG!โ€ He exclaimed in surprise.
โ€œMike itโ€™s Milana Sydneyโ€ He said to Mike who already jumped out of the couch to go hug her.
Mil laughed.

Dan also stood up and quickly went to hug Mil.
โ€œHow are you?โ€ Milana asked cheerfully.
โ€œIโ€™m so happy right now, i love seeing you in moviesโ€ Mike smiled.
โ€œMe tooโ€ Dan said. โ€œYouโ€™re our favorite actorโ€ he added.
โ€œReally? Iโ€™m glad to beโ€ She smiled.

โ€œYou look more beautiful in realityโ€ Mike said.
โ€œAwwn thanks darlingโ€
โ€œIโ€™m glad to meet youโ€ Dan said happily.
โ€œIโ€™m glad to meet you too honeyโ€ Mil said and glanced at me, giving me a โ€˜i-like himโ€™ look.
I smiled.

I noticed heโ€™s yet to see fallen angels.
Heโ€™s just gonna scream his head off.

โ€œCome sit hereโ€ Ana called on to Mike, pointing beside her.
Mike quickly raced over and i chuckled knowing that in a matter of minutes, theyโ€™re gonna start quarrelling.
โ€œWe are gonna chat more later huh?โ€ Mil said to the happy Dan.
He nodded and started walking back to me.

โ€œDan! Fallen angelsโ€ I said pointing behind him.
โ€œHuhโ€ He widened his eyes before turning.
โ€œOMG!โ€ He exclaimed in shock.
โ€œFallen angels!โ€ He screamed before rushing into their open arms.

I smiled as he hugged them tightly.
Artist Shaw, Danโ€™s biological Mum and Mikeโ€™s Mum also stood up and bowed in greetings..
โ€œItโ€™s so good to see you again Migvinโ€ Artist Shaw smiled.
โ€œYouโ€™re the famous artist right?โ€ Vinnie asked.
โ€œYes Vinโ€ artist Shaw said.


โ€œOMG! I never knew our second lucky fan was the artist i love so much. I love your artworks,come here for a hugโ€ Vinnie said.
โ€œThanks so muchโ€ Artist Shaw smiled and went to hug them.

โ€œAnd this is your son Dan?โ€ Miguel asked.
โ€œYesโ€ Artist Shaw said proudly and then glanced at Dan who didnโ€™t want to leave fallen angels side .
โ€œWow,you raised a handsome boyโ€ Miguel said.
โ€œIโ€™m glad to have him as Anelโ€™s boyfriendโ€ Vinnie smiled and i blushed a little.

โ€œBoyfriend?โ€ Artist Shaw asked.
โ€œYes Dad,Iโ€™m now dating Anelโ€ Dan smiled.
โ€œWow!โ€ Artist Shaw exclaimed and glanced at me.

I covered my cheeks with my palms and sighed.

โ€œLiam has something to say,we can continue this merry laterโ€ Miguel said and everyone sat in silence.
โ€œMaryโ€ Liam called loudly.
โ€œYes sirโ€ Mary answered from her room.
โ€œPlease go fetch granny upstairsโ€ He said.
โ€œOkay sirโ€ She said.

I already went to check on granny when i got back,sheโ€™s a little bit ill,the doctor said sheโ€™s gonna need a lot of rest so she has been in her room.

โ€œAnel,place a call to your Dad,tell him he needs to be here now.โ€ Liam said.
โ€œOkay Liamโ€ I said and collected my phone from Ana.
I placed a call to dad.

?Hi Dadโ€ I said.

?Hey princess,how are you?

?Iโ€™m fine dad,Iโ€™m back.

? Really?

?Yes Dad and Liam wants to see you right now.

?Ohh.. okay Iโ€™m on my way.

? Okay Dad. Bye.

?Bye princess.

I disconnected the call and gave my phone back to Ana.

โ€œHeโ€™ll be here soonโ€ I said.

**

Everyone was seated in silence waiting for Liam to speak up.
Ana and Mike has been sent upstairs.
Iโ€™m glad Dad came with Claire.
I miss her so much.

โ€œTam came to meโ€ฆโ€ Liam started.
โ€œHuh?โ€ Granny gasped. โ€œTamara came to you? Whereโ€™s she? Whereโ€™s my daughter?โ€ She asked.
โ€œShe appeared to me in my dreamโ€ Liam said,tears filling his eyes.

My throat tightened and tears threatened to come.

โ€œBryan,i hated you for the past sixteen years, thinking you are to blame about Tamโ€™s death. She appeared in my dream overnight just because of Bryan,she wants me to drop the hate i had for you,she wants me forgive you,she wants me to move on,she wants me to stop blaming you. Bryan,she still loves you even in death!โ€ Liam cried loudly.
I also allowed my tears to roll out freely.

Granny started sobbing and Vin did a good job in consoling her.

There was complete silence except the sound of grannyโ€™s sob,Liam was crying silently and i also made sure my tears didnโ€™t make a sound.

I glanced at everyone and noticed how teary their eyes were.
Artist Shaw couldnโ€™t hide his tears any longer.

โ€œI love Mara,i love Mara so much but there was no feelings attached. Even if you wonโ€™t blame me for her death anymore,Iโ€™ll blame myself cause she did everything for me. I..i miss her so muchโ€ Artist Shaw said in tears.
โ€œIf thereโ€™s anyone to be blamed about Maraโ€™s death,then itโ€™s me! I caused everything. I made her do it,sheโ€™s the one suffering for my disobedience. I regret everything. Please Iโ€™m so sorryโ€ Ellen cried.

โ€œI believe no one is to be blamed. Love clouded her sense of reasoning. Sheโ€™s someone ought to be praised cause not everyone can do what she did in the name of love. Mara knew the true meaning of loveโ€ Miguel said.
โ€œI wish i met her while she was alive,i only spoke to her through call and i took a liking to herโ€ Vinnie wiped her tears .

โ€œMara is someone i can boldly say was one of the nicest people on earth,she has a heart golden heart and sheโ€™s never capable of hurting people..i..i miss herโ€ Mikeโ€™s Mum said hugging the throw pillow tightly to her chest obviously trying to stifle a cry.

Mil consoled me by patting my back,she was in tears also.

โ€œBryan,Iโ€™m sorry i sent you out of the hospital after Tamโ€™s deathโ€ Liam said.
โ€œNo,itโ€™s fine. I understood your mood at that timeโ€ Artist Shaw said.
โ€œWas that the reason you didnโ€™t attended her funeral?โ€ Liam asked.

โ€œNo,i would have risked anything to be in Maraโ€™s funeral but i.. i stabbed myself after you sent me out of the hospitalโ€ Artist Shaw said and everyone gasped.

What!
I glanced at Dan and he nodded.
Why didnโ€™t he tell me?

โ€œY..you stabbed yourself?โ€ Liam asked in surprise.
โ€œYes Liam, i did. I felt so guilty about Maraโ€™s death so i thought of also dieing, i stabbed myself Immediately i got home.


I was admitted in the hospital for a week,i was unconscious for that whole week,i finally opened my eyes and was ready to come right away but i wasnโ€™t allowed to cause my wound was still sore and i might hurt more. That didnโ€™t stopped me from sneaking out of the hospital the next day, i got to your house and was told you relocated,i got to Kellyโ€™s house and was told he didnโ€™t want to see me. I searched for you till i could no longer.


Maraโ€™s death affected me deeply that i became a loner while studying arts in the college my parents forced me to go. I never wanted to get married until i met Laura againโ€ฆmy guilt for Maraโ€™s death is still buried in my heartโ€ Artist Shaw said sadly.

Damn!
He went through all that?

โ€œBryan Iโ€™m so sorry for refusing to see you then..i was hurt by Maraโ€™s death and i didnโ€™t even cared about anyone at that time. Iโ€™m so sorryโ€ Dad pleaded.
โ€œItโ€™s fine Kelly,i understand how you felt that timeโ€ Artist Shaw said.

โ€œOMGโ€ฆ Bryan Iโ€™m so sorry,i never knew you went through that,i thought you deliberately missed her funeralโ€ Liam said obviously feeling bad.
โ€œItโ€™s fine Liam,itโ€™s perfectly fine. Anyone would have reacted the way you did then.โ€ Artist Shaw said.

โ€œNow,I guess thereโ€™s a peace among everyone?โ€ Miguel asked and we all nodded.
I cleaned my tears and sniffed.
โ€œWe will all need to go visit Mara at columbarium tomorrowโ€ Vinnie said and everyone nodded.

โ€œPlease letโ€™s all share a hugโ€ Liam said and everyone stood on their feet and then embraced in a warm hug.
It felt so good and my heart danced freely.

Dan smiled at me and i smiled back.

โ€œLook,Mike they are all huggingโ€ we heard Ana said.
โ€œNo way! How could they hug without us,letโ€™s go join themโ€ Mike said and everyone turned to look at them as they both climbed down from the stairs,and then rushed to join in the hug but they were so short that they could only hug our legs.

Everyone laughed hard and i must confess..Liam looks more handsome when laughing. I hope heโ€™s gonna stick to this jovial mood.
I feel damn good seeing smile on everyoneโ€™s face.

Claire picked up Ana and Mil picked up Mike to enable them join in the hug.
Dan secretly blew kisses at me and i giggled.
โ€œI saw thatโ€ Mil whispered to me and i blushed.

Everyone disengaged from the big hug after some minutes.
Dad went to hug artist Shaw and they both exchanged pleasantries and started chatting like the long time friends they were.

โ€œMum,i missed youโ€ Laura said to granny.
โ€œOh..my Laura,come here for a hug dearโ€ granny smiled and Laura quickly went over.

โ€œDamn! Ellen,youโ€™ve grown so beautifulโ€ Liam said.
โ€œThank youโ€ Danโ€™s mum smiled.
โ€œI hope you donโ€™t mind if i make you my concubine?โ€ He asked.
โ€œUgh! You dare not!โ€ Mum snarled and everyone laughed.

Everyone was chattering happily when Mil dragged Dan and i to a couch.
Dan seems so happy to be around her.
Who wouldnโ€™t be happy around Milana Sydney?

โ€œI canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m surrounded by celebritiesโ€ he smiled happily.

โ€œSo you both should gist me about everything that happened during your summer camp and you mustnโ€™t leave out any partโ€ She said..

**

Everyone was seated round the dining room for dinner..
We had to add extra chairs to the dining chairs cause it wasnโ€™t enough for everyone.

Liam actually told everyone to stay for dinner .

Almost everyone commended Mary on how delicious the meal is.
Iโ€™m damn sure sheโ€™s gonna smile to sleep this night, sheโ€™s also seated with us at the dining.

โ€œFallen angelsโ€ i called breaking the silence.
Everyone turned to me,i glanced at Dan and he urged me to go ahead.
โ€œHow did you get ..this..i mean our necklaces?โ€ I asked and they glanced at each other and then smiled.

โ€œThese necklaces has saved us multiple times, whenever water touches it,it shines brightly instead of getting rustโ€ Dan said and unhooked his necklace,he made some drops of water touch it and the necklace started sparkling.. those who were not aware of it gasped in surprise.

โ€œWellโ€ฆwe actually made the necklaces from the golds in our magical gardenโ€ Vinnie said.
โ€œMagical garden?โ€ Everyone chorused in surprise except Mil who continued eating.
I noticed she was the only one that was not moved about the whole thing,her parents would have told her everything already.

โ€œYes,we have a magical garden in Australia, where the trees are golden, beautiful lake and waterfall, smooth grass and colourful flowers with beautiful butterfliesโ€ Mig smiled.

โ€œOh..my..โ€
โ€œGod!โ€ Dan completed it for me and i giggled..

โ€œWe donโ€™t usually disclose it but i guess itโ€™s because weโ€™re among our love onesโ€ Vin smiled.
โ€œI would really love to visit the gardenโ€ I said.
โ€œMe tooโ€ Dan said.
โ€œWe tooโ€ Mike and Ana chorused.
Iโ€™m surprised they havenโ€™t quarrelled yet.

โ€œWell, weโ€™ll be glad to show everyone of you our magical garden but Iโ€™m afraid most of you wonโ€™t want to leave anymoreโ€ Mig said and we chuckled.
โ€œYou will all have to go back to Australia with us thenโ€ Vinnie said.
Everyone cheered happily.
โ€œI canโ€™t wait!โ€ I grinned.

Dan gave me a cute wink and i almost drooled.
This guy is driving me crazy.

???

I sat in the living room with Mary and Mil after everyone left.
Others have gone to sleep.

Mil is on a call.

I smiled and licked my lips, remembering the lingering kiss Dan gave me before he left.
Heโ€™s just so sweet.

โ€œI canโ€™t believe Iโ€™ll be sitting on the same couch with Milana Sydneyโ€ Mary whispered to me and i smiled.
โ€œPlus,sheโ€™s so humbleโ€ Mary added.

โ€œThanks Maryโ€ Mil said and Mary gasped a little.
โ€œYou heard me?โ€ She asked and Mil nodded.
โ€œItโ€™s fine,be free to relate with me as you would to any other person okay?โ€ Mil said.
โ€œThanks Milana,Iโ€™m so happy to be here with you..it means a lot to meโ€ Mary grinned.

โ€œIโ€™m honoredโ€ Mil said.
โ€œCan i hold your hand?โ€ Mary asked.
Mil laughed..โ€Ofcourseโ€ she said and stretched her hand to her.
Mary held it, looking so happy like she was holding a god.

I smiled.

โ€œNow,letโ€™s have girls to girls talkโ€ Mil said.

Good!

?{Next day}?

We all walked slowly into the columbarium with flowers in our hands.
Everyone that was present in the house yesterday was also present here.

We stood in front of mumโ€™s space,her large portrait was placed on the her cremated remains.
Tears slowly dropped from my eyes.
My mum was so beautiful.

โ€œEveryone will have to say some words to her, i will startโ€ Mig said.
โ€œItโ€™s so sad you had to leave,Rest in peace Tamaraโ€ He said and dropped his flower before stepping back.
โ€œI wish i met you while you were alive. I took a liking to you even without seeing you. May you rest in perfect peace Mara โ€ Vinnie said and also dropped her flower.
She wiped her tears before stepping back.

โ€œMy sweetheart,my dear daughter. I miss your presence,i miss your smile,i wish you didnโ€™t leave that soon. I love you my damsel but I guess God loves you more. Rest in peace Maraโ€ granny said in tears,also dropping her flower.

โ€œTam,you know how deep my love is for you right? then why did you leave so soon,Iโ€™m not healed of your death yet,your absence in my life is affecting me deeply,the pain of your death is still in my heart. I love you sis and i will forever doโ€ Liam said with a sad smile,he dropped his flower.

โ€œMara,you became the younger sis i never had,i still remember how we both cook in the kitchen,how you normally make me laugh. So many things between us,the memories i had with you can never be forgotten.Look im going to have a baby soon and i promise to name the baby after you its a girl. I still love you Mara and i pray your gentle soul rest in peaceโ€ Mum wiped her tears and bent to drop her flower.

โ€œMara,the only best friend i had,my funny friend,my beauty queen,fatty Mara,Iโ€™m sorry about your death. Rest in peace Mara and just know that i love you and Iโ€™ll forever doโ€ Artist Shaw said,he dropped his flower gently and tears dropped from his eyes at the same.

โ€œTammy, you were so beautiful that i fell in love with you at first sight,even though you never loved me as much as i loved you,Iโ€™m still glad you made me the father of Anel,your death was painful,you still reside in my heart and i donโ€™t think i can ever forget about you. I love you Tammy and pray for you soul to rest in peaceโ€ Dad said.

Everyone left repeated the process till it got to me,i was the last.
I wiped my tears with handkerchief Dan passed to me and then cleared my clogged throat.
I sniffed;

โ€œMum,you brought me into this world while you were dieing,you went through pains just because of me,you were determined to make me live after you were gone. I loved you right from birth,i grew up without seeing you but my love for you never ceased. Even in death,you protected me and you stood by me when i needed you most, youโ€™re the best Mum in the world and i will always love you. I miss you Mum,may your soul rest in peaceโ€ I said in uncontrollable tears.

I dropped my flower.
Everyone bowed and slowly we all stared heading out.
I took one last look at my mumโ€™s portrait.

โ€œI love you mumโ€ I screamed in tears and got down on my knees.

JUST FOR LOVE 2 Final Episode by Azeemah Salami

2 years laterโ€ฆโ€ฆ

?Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œSit sit Anel,Iโ€™m gonna do your make upโ€ Mil said drawing her box of make-up into my room.

Itโ€™s my graduation day!
Iโ€™ll be leaving Makers high school today.
Iโ€™ll be going to college.

I smiled as Mil led me to my dressing chair.
โ€œSit here prettyโ€ She said happily.
I grinned at the engagement ring on her finger.

Yes!
Mil is now engaged to Thack Holcomb.
Hahaโ€ฆIsnโ€™t that funny?
Iโ€™m so glad itโ€™s Thack cause heโ€™s a very good man.

โ€œJust hold on,i need to bring out all Iโ€™m gonna use okay?โ€ She said.
โ€œThanks Milโ€ I smiled.
โ€œIโ€™m gonna make you look best. Ashlyn is coming over right?โ€ She asked.
โ€œYes she is โ€ I said.
Theresa,Vie and Dave already graduated last year,they are in college now but theyโ€™re gonna be attending our graduation ceremony.
Wanna know something? Dave and Theresa are now cool lovers.

Why has he not called me yet?
My friends already called me this morning but he hasnโ€™t.
I wonder how did i ended up loving him this much.
Heโ€™s a silly ass!

Ana popped into my room with little Lionel in her hand.
They were both dressed up. Ana in a pink Barbie gown with white shoes while little Li in a blue baby coat.

โ€œYou both look beautifulโ€ I smiled.
โ€œThanks Anel,your dress looks beautiful tooโ€ Ana said and adjusted the giggly Lionel in her arm.
โ€œBring him over hereโ€ I said and she did.
โ€œLionelโ€ I pecked his soft cheeks and raised him up,he gave me that cute baby smile.

Heโ€™s so cute,heโ€™s a year and some months old.
Iโ€™m glad i now have a little brother,heโ€™s so cool,the exact opposite of Ana..
Well..he might be stubborn when he grows up.

โ€œAna, bring Lionel. I have to feed himโ€ Mum said loudly from the living room.
โ€œOkay Mumโ€ Ana said.
I handed Lionel back to her and watched her walk out of my room.

I turned to Mil,she was still bringing out her make-up tools,she looked so serious that i had to laugh.
โ€œWhat?โ€ She asked.
โ€œYou look so serious right now,you should be a make up artistโ€ I said and she laughed.
โ€œI have to make my sis more beautiful todayโ€ She said.
โ€œIโ€™m honored to make Milana Sydney my older sister,the fiance of Thack Holcombโ€ I said and she smiled proudly.

โ€œThack is also comingโ€ She said and i gasped.
Iโ€™m not surprised heโ€™s comingโ€ฆIโ€™ve seen him multiple times but heโ€™s coming to my graduation!
The whole school is gonna be in chaosa nd Iโ€™m not sure if the graduation will take hold anymore cause everyone will want his autograph including that of Mil and fallen angels.

โ€œWhy did you gasp?โ€ Mil asked.
โ€œEveryone will be so focused on you guys that theyโ€™re gonna forget about our graduationโ€ I said,she smiled.
โ€œComโ€™on,we also canโ€™t go to a crowded place without disguise, weโ€™ll disguise and i can bet no one will find outโ€ She said and i sighed in relief.
โ€œGood thenโ€ฆโ€ I was saying but got interrupted by the ringtone of my phone.

Dan.

I frowned a little before swiping to the receiver.

?Hey babyโ€ He said into the phone.

?Hiโ€ I said curtly.

? Comโ€™on Anel,are you pissed at me?

?I was.

?Iโ€™m sorry i didnโ€™t call you earlier,i was so busy getting flowers for our graduation, you know the after party is gonna be at my house.

?Ohhโ€ฆ okayโ€ I smiled. โ€œArenโ€™t you excited? Today is our graduation day,we are finally letting go of Makers high school.

He chuckled?Iโ€™m the happiest today. Do you want me to come pick you?.

?Nah,you can head to school. Weโ€™ll meet there.

? Okay babe,i canโ€™t wait to see you.

?Me tooโ€ I grinned.

?I gotta hang up now,love you..

?Love you more,byeโ€ I smiled before disconnecting the call.

Why do i normally feel so happy and relieved after hearing Danโ€™s voice.

โ€œQuit smiling lover girl,Iโ€™m gonna start your makeup nowโ€ Mil said and i giggled.

โ€œClaireโ€ I heard Mum said from downstairs and i smiled.
Claire and Dad are here!
I smiled,so happy sheโ€™s here. Sheโ€™s heavily pregnant and i was thinking she wonโ€™t come but she did! I know sheโ€™s gonna burst into my room any moment from now.
She got married to dad a year ago and theyโ€™re both living fine.

My door opened and Claire bursted in as i predicted.

โ€œClaireโ€ I called happily.


Hours later,the graduating students were standing on stage wearing a white mortar board and white robe with the graduation cap.
We already finished part of the program,we collected our diploma and started singing the schoolโ€™s song.

I smiled as i watched my family. Thereโ€™s this proud look on their faces.
The auditorium is filled to the brim.
Mil, Thack and fallen angels couldnโ€™t be recognized in the mask they were putting on. I also nearly took them for other people.

โ€œYouโ€™re the most beautiful hereโ€ Dan whispered in my ears and i grinned.
โ€œComโ€™on sing alongโ€ I scolded playfully.
โ€œYou guys are gonna make them throw us out of the stageโ€ Ashlyn said and i nearly laughed.

The teachers and Mrs Oliver were seated at the corner of the stage looking their best.
Mrs Claude and Mr Jones were the only teachers absent here.
Mr Jones is still in jail for attempted murder,heโ€™s the one behind that large stone incidence in the hallway,he claimed that i always challenged him in class,he hates challenges so he thought the best thing to do is to kill me!
Heโ€™s an animal!
He also has more criminal records that shocked everyone.

Mrs Claude has been sacked after her husband filed for divorce cause she was cheating while being married to him.
She was dating that criminal and they had the audacity to draw matching love tattoos.
Iโ€™m glad the whole storm is over though.

We finished singing our school song and we all returned to our high seats holding our diploma and smiling proudly.
โ€œAnel,you look beautifulโ€ Jacq smiled at me.
โ€œThanks Jacq, you look pretty tooโ€ I smiled back at her.

Weโ€™re friends now but not close friends though.
Ashlyn is the only close friend i have in class, others are just formal friends.

โ€œKarissa your gown looks beautifulโ€ I said.
โ€œWow! Thanks Anel,my mum actually got it from a popular boutique in Londonโ€ She said.
โ€œNiceโ€ I said and turned back to Ashlyn, sheโ€™s also wearing a pretty red dress.
โ€œIโ€™m so happyโ€ She giggled.
โ€œMe tooโ€ I smiled and adjusted my graduation cap.

โ€œDanโ€ I gasped when he suddenly kissed my ear, i glanced around to make sure none of the teachers saw what he did.
โ€œAh!โ€ I rolled my eyes and he laughed.

โ€œYouโ€™re not wearing your cap properlyโ€ He said and helped me place my graduation cap properly on my styled hair.

โ€œI wonder what Miss Oliver is going to sayโ€ I whispered to him as i saw her walked to the podium, holding the microphone.
โ€œSheโ€™s probably gonna say we were the most troublesome studentsโ€ Dan said and i chuckled.

?Good day everyone. We will be presenting some awards to some students today? She said.

Mr Rolland brought the awards forward in the customised tray of Makers high school.

?The award of the most active student in Makers high school goes to Valerie Bells?

There were claps as Valerie stepped out in her graduation gown to receive her award.
Sheโ€™s truly the most active.

She collected her award and walked back to her chair in smiles.
We congratulated her.

Mrs Oliver kept awarding students till itโ€™s remaining two awards on the tray.

?Wellโ€ฆthe past years,weโ€™ve always have just one overall best student but i guess tables turned this year,we have two overall best students whom i think their parents should be proud of..Iโ€™m gonna call them out now? She said and there was tensed silence.
Everyone watched Mrs Oliver waiting for her to announce the overall best students.

She smiled ?The overall best students in Makers high school for the year 2019 is;? She paused,stared at the graduating students then back at the parents.

?Asanel Yates and Daniel Shaw? She dropped the bomb and my heart popped twice.
I stared on in disbelief.

We were given standing ovation,the cheers was deafening,the whole auditorium was shook with shouts.
My heart raced with happiness.
I glanced at Dan,he was full of smiles.
He gave me a โ€œwe-did-itโ€ Look.

We both stood up,the cheers was still going on.
Dan stretched his hand to me and i placed mine on it.
We both started walking to the podium,hand in hand.

โ€œDan-nelโ€ Our classmates screamed happily as we made our way to the podium.
Our classmates actually gave us a couple name.

โ€œWeโ€™re proud of you bothโ€ I heard Liam screamed amongst the shouts.
โ€œWe love youuuuuโ€ Mil also shouted.

I smiled and held Danโ€™s hand more tightly,i was feeling so nervous as we both stood beside Mrs Oliver.

?Asanel Yates and Daniel Shaw,here are your awards for been the overall best students? Mrs Oliver said and handed golden medal to us one after the other.
โ€œThank youโ€ We bowed slowly.
?Do you both have anything to say?? She asked and i glanced at Dan,he nodded.
โ€œYes โ€ We chorused.

Dan took hold of the microphone;

?Iโ€™m so happy to be given this award,it means a lot to me and Iโ€™m glad i made my family proud. I dedicate this award to my whole family? He said and there were loud claps.
?There will be after party tonight in my house,my classmates are all invited? He said and our classmates stood up from their seats and jumped in excitement.
He smiled and passed the mic to me.

?Iโ€™m glad to be a student of Makers high school and Iโ€™m so happy to receive this award. I dedicate this award to my family and my late Mum? I said and could read the sympathy on everyoneโ€™s face. I wished to continue but i canโ€™t,i was starting to tear up.
I handed the microphone to Mrs Oliver and quickly stepped back..

โ€œAre you okay?โ€ Dan whispered to me and i nodded.
โ€œYou sure?โ€ He asked.
โ€œYesโ€ I said holding tightly to my medal.

?Wellโ€ฆthatโ€™s the last award for the year 2019โ€ฆcan you all please cheer all the awards receivers?Mrs Oliver said and the cheers nearly blocked our ears as we walked back to our seats.

โ€œCongratulations Dan-nelโ€ Our classmates shouted hugging us one after the other.
โ€œThanks guysโ€ I smiled happily.

Soon,the programs were over and students were running into the arms of their parents.
Liam and Mumโ€™s arms were already opened as i ran towards them.

โ€œIโ€™m not a high school kid anymoreโ€ I screamed happily, jumping into their arms.
โ€œCongratulations Anelโ€ they hugged me tightly.

โ€œI love your medalโ€ Ana said.
โ€œThanks Ana, promise me you will also receive a medalโ€ I said.
โ€œI promise Anel, Iโ€™ll make sure i study hardโ€ She said.
โ€œGood girlโ€ I smiled.
โ€œLook Li,i gat a medalโ€ I said to little Lionel who was in Milโ€™s arm.

He flung his small hands in the air,not understanding whatever i was saying.
I laughed and pecked his soft cheeks.
โ€œBeauty with brainโ€ Thack gave me a thumb up i laughed.
โ€œThanks Thackโ€

โ€œIโ€™m proud of you daughterโ€ Dad hugged, kissing my hair.
โ€œThanks Dadโ€ I smiled.
โ€œAnel,sweetheart,you made us proudโ€ Claire said hugging me lightly,she could have hugged me tightly but that bump! wouldnโ€™t allow.
โ€œThanks Claireโ€ I smiled.

โ€œIโ€™m so happy for you Anel,youโ€™re good at everything you do. Congratulationsโ€ Mary pecked me on my cheeks.
โ€œThanks Mary โ€ I grinned .

Sheโ€™s not working with us anymore, Liam gave her huge sum of money to set up a business and weโ€™re all glad she used the money wisely,she now has a big Mall,she expanded it recently though and the good news is that sheโ€™s now dating jack! whoโ€™s on a business trip to Atlanta, Iโ€™m just so happy their lives turned out well.

โ€œAnel sure gave birth to a geniusโ€ Fallen angels said to and i smiled.
โ€œThanks Migvinโ€ I hugged them tightly.
They came down to Paris just for our graduation.

I smiled when i saw Dan and his family approaching.
They got to us and started exchanging pleasantries,they all hugged me while Dan was also hugged by my family.

โ€œLetโ€™s go join other students in taking picturesโ€ He said dragging me away.
I laughed happily.


We all got home some hours ago,i was in my room with Mil getting ready for our after party.

My phone started ringing,i picked it and checked the caller ID.
Dan.

?Hey loveโ€ I smiled.

?Hi babe,guess what Dad got me for my graduation?

?What?โ€ I asked eagerly in smiles.

Liam actually promised to send me to tour in any country of my choice and Iโ€™m so happy about that.

?Dad got me a car! The latest Benz!โ€ He screamed in excitement.

?OMG!โ€ I screamed happily,jumping round my room. Mil laughed.

?Iโ€™m so happy right now babe. Iโ€™m coming to pick you. I want you to be the first person to ride the car with meโ€ He said with excitement booming in his voice.

?Okay baby Iโ€™ll be waitingโ€ I grinned happily.

?Dress beautifully for me okay?โ€ ..

?Yes baby. I love you.

?I love you more..

I was grinning hard by the time i disconnected the call.

โ€œMil, Dan got the latest Benz as a giftโ€ I said happily.
โ€œWow!โ€ Mil exclaimed.
โ€œAnd guess what? He wants me to be the first person to ride in the car with himโ€ I said,my heart almost bursting.
โ€œWow. Thatโ€™s greatโ€ Mil smiled.
โ€œHe wants me to dress beautifully and Iโ€™m at lost on what to wearโ€ I said.

โ€œI think you should wear that red mini skirtโ€ Mil said.
โ€œYes! Iโ€™m gonna wear it with the white and red blouse you got for meโ€ I smiled.
โ€œThat will be gorgeousโ€ She said and i nodded.
I picked the outfit and started getting into it.

โ€œYou wonโ€™t be needing much make up,you just apply lip gloss and mascaraโ€ She said.
โ€œOkay,help me with the zipโ€ I said and turned my back to her.
She did and i stood in front of my mirror and adjusted the outfit properly.

Great!

I brought out my lip gloss and mascara and started applying it while Mil helped me select red heels from my shoe rack.

โ€œThanks Milโ€ I smiled and slipped my feet into it..it made me stood taller.
โ€œJust hold on,you need a red patent-leather bag to compliment this outfit.. Iโ€™ll be backโ€ She said and rushed out of the room.

I stood in front of the mirror and admired myself greatly,i think my hair needs a little styling.
I picked a combโ€ฆ
*
I was done styling my hair when Mil walked in with the beautiful red shoulder bag.
โ€œWow!โ€ I exclaimed.
She handed it to me.
โ€œThanks Milโ€ I smiled hanging the bag on my shoulder.
โ€œOh..myโ€ฆyou look breathtakingโ€ Mil said.
I smiledโ€ฆโ€Dan is gonna like it right?โ€
โ€œHeโ€™s gonna love itโ€ Mil said and my smile grew wider.

We heard loud horns and we both rushed to the window,we peered outside and i gasped when i saw Dan driving into our compound in his beautiful new Benz.

โ€œOMG! That car is beautifulโ€ Mil said.
I was speechless for a while, that car is actually the best Iโ€™ve ever seen.

โ€œMil..byeโ€ I waved in excitement and started walking out.
โ€œBye,make sure you donโ€™t drink muchโ€ She shouted after me.
โ€œOkay Milโ€


It is night already,most of the students are already present in Danโ€™s backyard,some were swimming in the pool while most were dancing to the blaring music, thereโ€™s barbecue and drink for everyone.

Everyone was obviously having good time,i sat beside Dan, trying not to drink much.
Our friends were all scattered over the dance floor and i laughed when i saw Vie pulling out her funny dance skills and whyโ€™s Travis dancing with her?
Hmmmn?

โ€œCare to dance?โ€ Dan asked.
โ€œOf courseโ€ I smiled.

**

It was midnight,the party is over and everyone has gone home.
I can boastfully said we all had a good time.
Our after party was the best.

Dan and i were laying side by side in his beautiful garden, staring at the little stars in the sky.
โ€œAnelโ€ Dan called slowly.
โ€œHuh?โ€
โ€œI love you more than the stars in the sky,i love you more as each moment passes us by,i love you with every breath i take. Thanks for being in my life, without you my heart will be dead. I love you so much Anel and i promise never to leave youโ€ He said with so much emotion that tears filled my eyes.

Truly,there are two sides of love. My Mum may have experienced the bad side but here i am experiencing the good side of love.
I love you Mum.

โ€œDan,youโ€™re the one my heart chose,youโ€™re the one my mind always reminds me of,youโ€™re the one i love most cause you made me realize the meaning of love in a unique way. Im glad you are mine and i promise i will forever love youโ€ I said and we both faced each other in smiles.

Slowly,our lips locked and at that moment i knew our love was the most beautiful one.
