EPISODE 35 (FINAL)
*A month later*
“Are you re-ady? It’s almost time, and big people are everywhere! Today’s occasion is going to be lit!” Sharon who was now serving as Kathleen’s personal @$$istant called from the doorway of the dressing room in excitement.
Ella and her girls were adding a finishing tou-chto both Kathleen’s and Kimberly’s make-up. It was the D-Day. They were opening the Kim-Kath Foundation and also starting with the maiden edition of their television broadcast. They were all at the backside of the building since the ribbon was yet to be cut, so they could only access the building through the backdoor.
“They will be re-ady in less than twenty minutes,” Ella told her since neither Kimberly nor Kathleen could say anything as their l-ips were being worked on.
“Okay then, let me go and check on the caterers once again,” Sharon announced excitedly before leaving them.
Once they were done with the make-up, Ella and her girls left the room, leaving Kathleen and Kimberly alone. Kathleen was dressed in a corporate blue-colored, knee-length gown, which had a boat neckline and three-quarter sleeve. And on her feet was a white stiletto heel. Kimberly on the other hand was dressed in a white jumpsuit with red blazers which matched her red high-heeled sandals.
They both stared at each other quietly until Kathleen broke the silence, “We are really doing this. When we met at the fast-food last year and I mentioned running a foundation in the future, I never would have thought it would come through you, or we would be doing it in less than a year,” Kathleen said in amazement.
“Are you nervous? Or am I the only one feeling this way?” Kimberly asked making Kathleen smile.
Kathleen reached out a hand to squee-zeKimberly’s hand in a re@$$uring manner, “I think I might be even more nervous than you. You are not alone,” Kathleen @$$ured her, and they both turned when the door opened and both Pete and Eric walked in.
“How are my babies doing?” Eric asked, making Kathleen and Pete exchange a look.
“Babies?” Kathleen asked curiously.
“You haven’t told her yet?” Eric asked Kimberly, c-cking his head in Kathleen’s direction.
Kimberly shook her head, “I was going to do so after the event, but you’ve told her now,” Kimberly said with a grin as she returned her attention to Kathleen, “I’m ten weeks pregnant,” she whispered in an excited voice, and Kathleen squealed with delight as she embraced Kimberly.
“Awwww! Congratulations. I’m so happy for you, and I you have open way for me also to announce mine, I’m 5weeks pregnant also” Kathleen said looking genuinely happy.
“ooooh that’s great, ,” Kimberly and Eric said with a giggle.
“Congratulations to us, this calls for a celebration,” Pete said as he shook Eric’s hand.
“Surely. Let’s do that after the event,” Eric said, and Pete nodded.
“You both should get set, it’s time for the opening of the building,” Sharon announced impatiently from the doorway and left without waiting for their response.
“Your friend seems to be taking her job quite seriously,” Pete observed.
“As in ehn, she has been all over the place since morning,” Eric noted with a chuckle.
Kathleen laughed, “Sharon can be serious when she wants to be. What of Amanda? Why haven’t I seen her around?” Kathleen asked Pete curiously.
“She is in the car with Isioma. They will come in after the building has been opened. She has been asking to see her mom all day,” Pete said, making Kathleen smile. What she did to deserve Amanda’s love was something she still didn’t un-derstand. She had asked Amanda why she loved her, and Amanda had said because she was pretty.
“I think I need to use the ladies’ room before heading out,” Kimberly said and walked out with Eric behind her.
“Are you re-ady?” Pete asked Kathleen, and she nodded her head.
“Though I feel very anxious, and it’s making my stomach feel very uncomfortable, but I think I’m re-ady,” Kathleen said as she walked up to Pete who embraced her.
“If there is anyone I believe can handle this, it is you. You are not only beautiful but also very brilliant. So wear your cloak of confidence and flaunt it out there, okay?” Pete said, looking into her eyes with a soft smile on his face, “I’m so proud of you,” he said when Kathleen bobbed her head.
“That means a lot to me, thank you,” Kathleen said as she took in a dee-p breath, and let it out slowly.
“By the way, do you know what date it is today?” Pete asked, making her look at him in confusion.
“That is a funny question. Of course, It is August sixth,” Kathleen said matter of factly.
Pete grinned, “Today makes it one year you ran into my office asking me to give you another chance to do your presentation,” Pete said, and Kathleen g@sped in surprise.
“What? Seriously?” Kathleen asked in surprise and Pete chuckled.
“Yeah. Who would have thought we would be married by this time?” Pete asked, but Kathleen’s mind was somewhere else alre-ady. She was thinking about how worried she had been especially after her mother’s call that morning, and then the call over the weekend, talking to her about marriage. So it was a year alre-ady? Truly one could never go wrong by trusting in God. Only God could change the story of a person within the blink of an eye.
“I suppose God is still in the business of making miracles happen,” Kathleen said with a thoughtful smile.
“You’re all the miracle I need, Mi Amor,” Pete said with a smile, wanting to ki-ss her even though he couldn’t because he didn’t want to ruin her makeup.
“I love you very much Mr. Kunle Pete Howells,” Kathleen said as she gazed into Pete’s eyes.
“And I love you even more Mrs. Ngozika Kathleen Howells,” Pete said as he ki-ssed her forehead.
Some moment later everyone gathered by the door of the building for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the building. The place was filled with different caliber of people, such as politicians, business moguls, and members of the press as well as bloggers, who had all been invited to cover the show as a live event. Mrs. Obasan had been chosen to cut the ribbon since she was one of the major sponsors. She blessed the foundation and prayed for everyone who served there and would be served there, and then she cut the ribbon. Everyone present clapped happily before going in,side, while Amanda picked up the balloon which had been used to decorate the ribbon.
A few hours later, after the event had come to an end, Eric and his family, as well as Pete, Kathleen, Isioma, Amanda, Sharon, Ella, and Ken, all moved to a five-star restaurant where they were to celebrate the success of the event as well as Kimberly’s pregnancy. Mrs. Obasan fawned over Kimberly, happy that she was finally going to be a grandmother.
As they all sat around the large table, with the food in front of them, Kimberly looked at everyone gathered around her as they conversed, and her eyes filled with tears as she inwardly prayed, “Thank you Lord for being faithful to me despite my unfaithfulness. Thank you for showing me so much merciful than I deserve. Thank you for loving me more than I could ever love myself. Thank you for blessing me with the best husband in the world. Thank you for blessing me with such wonderful family and friends. Thank you Lord for the instant miracle that I needed when my life was in shambles, because I know without a doubt that I’m the one you have favored most.”
At that same moment, as everyone conversed around the table talking about the event and how well Kathleen had handled it, Kathleen looked around, unable to believe how much her life had changed within a year. She never would have imagined that she would be anywhere near where she was at the moment, or be married to such a supportive and loving man, or even be a co-foun-der of a foundation with people working un-der her. Her eyes teared up at the thought, and she prayed inwardly, “Lord thank you for I know that I am the one you have blessed the most. My life turned around because of your miracle that I needed most. Even when I’m not deserving or worthy, your grace singled me out of multitude to receive such abundant blessings. I cannot but continue to say “thank you” for the rest of my life”.
Her eyes met Kimberly’s who was sitting across from her, and they both exchanged a knowing smile when they both saw that the other was teary. They could un-derstand that even though they were nothing alike, God had changed their stories with instant miracles.
Eric raised his gl@$$ for a toast, “Cheers to a purpose-filled life,”
“Cheers to a purpose-filled life,” the others echoed as they clinked gl@$$es and drank.
