Peace sat by the window, her pen tapping against her book as the generator sound was heard outside, the sky above her village was filled with star that night, very clear and countless, unlike the noisy city, where she'd just wrote her waec exam, she felt stuck and restless, as though her life is waiting to begin.
Her close friend, obinna came and saw her thinking "you are thinking too much" he said to her as he pull a chair to sit down.
"I can't help it" she sighed "Everyone keeps on asking me what's next, is it going to the university, studying medicine or just stay back in this village and help my mom in her farm work, I don't even know if there's something special that await me out there" she said
Obinna sat up and held her hands and said to her *" don't sweat it, there's something.... written in the star, no matter what you do, the right path will locate you.
Peace laughed and say*"you are beginning to speak like our old men in the village square, speaking prophecy.
"No, I'm serious, remember when we were in jjs3, you hated mathematics but somehow at the end of the term you still passed it, you don't understand it but it do happen, that's how life is_ sometimes you don't understand it but something's happen because they are meant to happen " obinna said to her
"You mean, I shouldn't worry too much that what is mine will surely come to me?" She asked him
he answered " yes that what I mean but that doesn't mean you should sit and fold your hands, it means you should don't drown your self in worry ,what is really yours will find you some day"
There were silent between the two of them, peace returned her gaze to the sky.
Then she remembered her late grandmother, she always tell her that the stars are witnesses, they see tomorrow even before we do, at that time peace brushed it off as just another village saying. But now, looking at the glowing sky, it didn't feel silly anymore.
She turned to obinna and said" you might be right"
"Of course I'm right, he smirked, just truth the timing and believe in your self, who knows, one day you might become a writer or the person of your choice and you will look at this sky and the same sky will remain you where it all began."
Peace smiled, a small but certain spark lightning in her chest, for the first time in weeks she did not fell weighed down maybe she didn't know exactly what the future held _ but she believe that something was waiting, something written in the stars.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you love it.
Love you all
