The Heirs

What's the worst thing that could happen.

Cinthia's POV
 
      The ray of the sun shun across the room causing me to stir in my sleep placing my right hand in front of my eyes to keep me from the sudden light.

      "Looks like you need a new blanket", said a familiar female voice before I get the cold water dripping on me then I shrieked out jumping out of the bed.

    The laughters rang in the air as I looked up to yell at the culprit but all I could do instead was to yell hugging my best friend Nikki

  "OMG, you are really here, alive in flesh as in in body ", I rambled on while Nikki's lip twitched into an amused smile.

    "Yes Cint, I'm here in flesh for your engagement I knew nothing about", said Nikki trying her best to frown to show how upset she was

    "I'm sorry okay, everything just happened in a blink of an eye and yes how come you are here as in flesh in body , in voice and in ...

   "I'm here in all Cinthia so stop babbling and tell me how you managed to get a fiance and I wasn't told",said Nikki giving me a look that says you are not going to get out of this unless you tell me.

    And that was how I spent the morning drenched in water telling Nikki everything that has happened to me over the few weeks including how I had got kidnapped especially what Dan did to me.

     "Shhh, dear everything is going to be alright", said Nikki as I sobbed in her arms.

     "For how long, Nikki, nothing has changed, the nightmares keeps coming and I can't help but to think it's all my fault, I took out my pain the wrong way",I said in tears almost choking as Nikki's soft whispers kept me strong.

    "How long have you prayed last",asked Nikki as she watched me carefully.
   
   One thing about my best friend is that she's very spiritual, she's godly,caring and nice and I can't help but to love her for never being ashamed of the gospel and of God.

    She's always someone I wanted to be like but after Harry I couldn't help but to feel lesser than her no matter how hard I try to forget the pains and move on, but it never leaves me , instead it haunts me in every breath I take .

    I can never be up to her standard because I'm not even worthy of the grace of God, I have done so many things to be condemned by God .

   "You are pacing out on me again,where are your thoughts",asked Nikki smiling

   "Just thinking of how lucky I am to have you here with me ", I grinned.

     "Stripping over you at lunch in junior high was the best thing I have ever done due to my clumsiness, so if anyone is lucky to have a best friend like you, it's me",said Nikki smiling while I stood up refusing to believe her.

      "I'm not like who I was before, what Harry did to me made me think less of myself because it's true I wonder why God is still helping me, no man deserves to have me as a wife because I'm not a virgin anymore",I felt confused and agitated as I ran my hands in my hair.

  "What! Seriously Cint, that's the best excuse you have got, you have got to see the beauty in you, it's not only virginity that determines whether you are a good wife material or not, because it's your inner beauty that matters cos it speaks in so many volumes, Cinthia you don't earn God's love, grace, favor and help, it's not something you could ever work for to have cos God gave it to you freely, so stop demeaning the girl God had took his time to create on the sixth day, you are a rare gem so appreciate all God has done for you ", said Nikki as she drew me to her.

    "But I'm broken",I whispered as tears roll down my face.

       "Shh dear, God is interested in turning this mess into a beautiful message, you would see, so Cinthia continually trust in Him and seek strength from Him to overcome every challenges you may face, alright God loves you Cinthia, he loves you", said Nikki as she patted my back.
