I hurriedly purchased some snacks at the counter in other to rush into the hall and get a sit.Lucky for me Andrew preserved a sit for me.
I quickly moved into my sit and sat on it before the movie began.
Apparently dad took us to the cinema so we could finally watch the movie
" The Wedding Party" .
I had beign dieing to watch this movie before the year 2017 crept in.oh my God, the movie is about to begin, I was so happy I had to tell Andrew.

"I can't believe am actually watching this movie"
Andrew gave me a smile and crossed a finger on his lips, in other for me to hush.
Alright, although I didn't want to hush, but I had to hear the wedding planner screaming in the movie.

Oh yeah, what did I just say? Wedding planner, that's right.It only reminded me of the wedding that never took place.that alone broke my heart into shreds.unfortunately Jake and I were not meant for each other, he practically dumped me at the altar, I mean no matter my crime, what sort of a person does that? He shamed me in front of the whole world on my so called wedding day, simply cause he blamed me for Rach's death, trust me, I never believed she had that much of a fan, Jake broke me"hahaha" well they call it life
and since then I had never set my eyes on him, some said he relocated, some said he was on a business trip, who cares, what difference does it make?.though I felt really bad, sad and heart broken but it's already been done, I took it as a gift from Rach who I harmed.
But all thanks to God I have a new brother, I just graduated , I would be at law school after a month, success kept following me every where I went and finally, aunt Nelly and uncle Joseph adopted a child from the orphange, am glad they did cause it was about time, dad promised that we'd pay them a surprise visit one of this days.
"oops, back to my movie. Oh my God, the bride is so beautiful, I wander why the groom's  mother detested her so much.
The cinema hall is so cold, dark, quite comfy and sweet.
Apparently the movie was so interesting that little baby Jack noticed it and began to cry, and mum handed him over to me to hush him but it turned out that his noise only got worse when he laid in my arms.
Lucky for me Andrew had a away of hushing him and immediately, Andrew carried  him he started smilling .
Is it just me or did Jack have a thing for Andrew?, I guess Jack was the male version of Rach ,he was totally a spitting image of Rach, oh poor Rach.
Anytime, I thought of Rach, I always felt guilty, I still remembered how much I wailed on the first of sepetember, which happened to be Rachel's birthday."hmm" but dear God what would I do to make things right? I would have been a wife and probably an expectant mother by now but look what happened and somehow I feel Jack hates me, Rach please, I know I hurt you but try to find a place in your heart to forgive me.
I snaped out of my thinking mood and focused on the movie.

"2016 was a messed up year".I muttered  while lying on my bed.
I lost my parents and I lost Rach.

I also want to say that it was a blessed year in a way, because God replaced her with a male replica.who turned out to be so cute and Rachel like,
He also gave me  new adorable parents who were quite caring and loving.and lastly I graduated sucessfully as the best graduating student in my set, and fortunately for me due to mr Jack's connection my IT which would be starting in the next three months would be at the university of calabar teaching hospital, that's gonna be really awesome. God knew exactly were to put me.

Too bad Rach was no more, am pretty much sure that she'd be a fresher now at university of calabar's theatre art department, if only her original Jamb result had showed up earlier.mr and mrs Jack did regret their actions. It's hurtful to  realize that her pain, suffering and death was for nothing, cause she actually passed the freaking Jamb.If only they had waited for a month or more before sending her to the school of ressurrection am pretty much sure her original Jamb result would have shocked them completly.
But the almighty God has his reasons.well, thanks be to God in every situation.

I stared at the screen of the monitor in the cafe like one who's just seen a death note.I couldn't believe it, the onething that pushed my best friend to an early grave was right in front of me.
Apparently I decided to confirm myself and shockingly Rachel acctually scored 255.may God punish the C .B .T Jamb of 2016.it is part of the reasons why Rachel is no more. If only they marked correctly and brought out her original result then her parents would not have sent her to that hell on earth to die.
Too late, turns out the original result was just waiting for her to die before it showed up,
Oh Rach, I missed you so much, very much, the church and the choir missed you too.
You were so young and vibrant, you loved eating cookies and chocolate, and how could I forget your favourite drink,"strawberry hollandia" you could spend a whole day drinking strawberry hollandia.All the times we played around together, laughed together, studied together cause we were actually in the same class and field, our dreams were similar. "Hmmmmm" death oh death  your worse was worst indeed"
I believed in Rach, to me, she was smart, and very talented.
But death snatched her away from me."hmmm" suddenly she stopped communicating with me in my dreams. If I remember correctly she told me she'd be back in a month's time, now a month's time has become one year.
"Adieus amigo untill we meet again".I let out a heavy sigh and walked out of the cafe.

I tapped my feet on the floor continuously at the porch while waiting for dad to come out of the house and take me to school.

"Dad am gonna be late on my first day, please hurry up"suddenly dad walked towards me with a cute puppy dog face.

"Sorry kim, the front sit is all yours"he said as he opened the car door for me .
I hopped in, and sat so majestically,before dad could put the car on ignition and drive out mum showed up at the porch and screamed

"Joseph please drive carefully and hey kim"I smile at mum and ask

"What?"she crossed her arms against her chest and said

"Make the best out of today"I smiled at my mum and nodded my head back and forth,and zoomed, dad drived us out of the compound.
Apparently we had no gateman so dad got a gate which answered only to a remote, in essence, he just clicked a button on the remote and the gate would open wide by it'self.
Just wandering how my first day at college would be, luckily for me, the orphanage home had put me through highschool, well am greatful to God for making such a loving and caring couple to adopt me.
