" Hello Peace, you are at the door already, all right I am coming"
Peace, who is Peace?
He rushed to the door and opened it immediately he saw peace and he warmly hugged her released the hug and then held her hand, he brought her in.
"This is my dear little sister, my cousin, I told you about her, we are like sun and sky"
"it is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Peace keneth, I am your elder brother's to be wife" Peace smiled and looked at Thane.
Grace was furious , angry, surprised ad weak at the same time she felt her blood pressure increase and she slumped to the ground.
Present; the end of flash back….
Grace could not possibly be happy this very wedding anniversary preparation. It disrupted her. She hated peace with all that is in her.
" Hey grace, are you all right, I heard you were suffering from a disorder" she held grace's hand.
I am suffering no disorder, you are the reason my life is a mess
" I am fine" grace said curtly, you don't have to care about me" she said as she removed her hand.
Peace you have the holy spirit in you, control yourself and try to recognize the root cause of her problem, I know she is going through a lot and I know so by the spirit of understanding.
Peace did not understand why she was always distant, she always wondered what she must have done to anger her in any way. She got to the kitchen and smiled wryly to grandma and aunt Rose
"I talked to her, she didn't respond much but she will be fine"
"I hope she didn't say anything mean to you peace dear?"
" Grandma! What are you saying?! Is peace a monster?, don't you know that they are both cousins in law?"
" Anita, I never said that your daughter was a monster, but you know all to well what she can do. A certain time, she served peace with glass bottles in her food."
" Grandma! She said it was a mistake, why do you keep bringing it up, why cant you love Grace with the exact intensity you have for your Peace." grandma wanted to speak back but she was relinquished by peace's rapid speech
"Grandma and aunt Anita, let's not talk about grace like this. Grandma I know you are concerned about me but we should not cause it to divide our peace, we are stronger when we are together, so please don't fight."
I began to understand that there were some people who would never like what you do , no matter how much you try.
Peace was determined to pray and support her, in every manner she could.
Peace looked up at the time and found out that it had already been late and that she had to go distract her husband so that the surprise would come out undiscovered.
" Grandma and aunt Anita, I have to head going, this is already an hour to thane's work closing time.
She left the house in a hurry, her flip flops hit the ground fiercely and she put on her heels in a hurry, she then reached out to a bag of accessories she had gotten while coming back from the store. Then she hurried up stairs. She quickly removed her clothes and then got into the shower, she let the drops beat all parts of her skin lightly and then she used her vanilla and honey soap mix and a sponge to wash away grease that had accumulated on the exposed parts of her body while in the kitchen.
Peace came out and rubbed all the parts of her skin with Thane's favourite perfume scent, fruity citrus. she went to her favourite part of the room, her make up table and used her finger and tapped each and every one of the makeup products playfully.
{ Good day my peacelovers, there has been a change in narration style because i needed the characters to have a voice, Thank you for following up this far}
I looked towards the cosmetics, I just didn't know what to pick, I was running out of time, I looked at my phone and decided to call thane, I certainly did not want him to spoil the surprise for himself.
" Hello Thane dear, can you give me sometime, I have to prepare to meet you, I hope you aren't waiting for me while standing outside the company"
" I was but since you told me that you need more time, sure, are you having problems choosing what dress to wear, ask the holy spirit like you always do, he has the best taste."
" I will," I closed my eyes and smiled, he had been talking more and more about the holy spirit lately.
"where do you want to take me peace, where are you taking your husband to?"
" I am taking you to a place where it all began"
" Are you talking about the garden of Eden now"
I bursted out in laughter, what are you saying? I know that if I had continued speaking with him, i would be picking him up around 12 midnight.
" All right, all right, I have to finish up"
"okay I am waiting hon"
I ended the call and I assumed my dressing odyssey, my hair was short but it could reach my shoulders, he often told me how he adored my hair unpacked, I applied an ample amount of conditioner , then I tinted my lips with a light red color, I went into my wardrobe
Holy spirit help me choose what to wear
Then I took a red satin a level gown, it was strapless so I decided to wear a jacket to cover up for the excess skin, I wore my black ballerina flats and then I placed eyeliners at the end of my eyes to highlight my cat eyes.
I took my phone placed it in a purse and then went to the mirror and affirmed this words to myself.
Thane is so lucky he has you, you are wonderfully created by God, I am so happy you know who you are, I am empowered to make choices that honor God!
I went out on my way, bid Grandma and aunt Rose goodbye. I went to see grace but she just scowled at me and then turned to the glitter she was sprinkling on the anniversary's invitations.
As I got into my car, and I was about to park and join the road that would lead me to the main road to thane's office,when a strange frail raddled-looking old woman approached the front of my car. She held the bumper and started saying something, my car's engine was so loud, so I had to turn it off. I tried listening to what she was saying, I scrolled up my windows in attempt to be shielded from whatever external attack she tried to impose. It was so strange, I started to panic a bit but a scripture I had read gave me solace and had paid homage to my heart
" be anxious for nothing, but in everything , through prayers and supplication, let your requests be made known to God
"Dear, God, I don't know who she is, but I know that I don't want to feel scared at this moment, give me courage like you gave David, He boldy defeated the giant who was about more than twice his size with your wisdom"
The spirit spoke to me and told me to come out and speak to the lady. I wasn't sure at first but I listened and I came out, I walked slowly and steadily to the front of my car, the woman was muttering something to herself and with each step I took, the muttering became more intense and intense, her lips moved faster with each step and she fumbled her scarf which was wrapped across her shoulder. It was as if the scarf could not stand it anymore and was trying to run away from its owner. I swallowed my spit, unsure of what to do or say.
" he-he- hell-o ma'am"
"how are you my child"
Her bent back posture all of a sudden became straight. Then she stared into my eyes with warmth.
