Chapter 1 - Chapter 8 - HER Success Story

Osanna stared out of school hostel window she was about to complete college, infact it was 6 months to her graduation. She let out a sigh and said a short prayer for her Mom's soul to rest in peace. She had lost her mom a year after getting admitted in Osborne college of Law, at that point she wanted to give up because even though she wasn't so fond of her mom she still wanted to share a lot of memories with her. Osanna's dad and her siblings reminded her that her mom would want her to succeed instead of just giving up, she found strength in her family and faced her education squarely. Most of the professors in the college recognized her efforts and usually commended her when ever she impressed them.

"What are we going to have for dinner Shriek"? asked Alexa, Osanna's college roommate and bestie. They had met on the first day of school and were coincidentally hostel roomies. They had become very close and loving friends and lived like sisters. "SpongeBob I've told you to stop calling me Shriek!" Osanna shouted playfully and threw a pillow at Alexa, "if you are hungry get your lazy ass off the bed and go to the school cafeteria or better still cook something" she added. " Look into my eyes and tell me you are not hungry" Alexa said, "I can't do that because I'm actually really famished, let's go get food" Osanna said as she yawned.

Soon it was time for the girl's final exams, they studied and studied, they prayed and put everything into God's hands.

After the girls had written their exams they still had to wait in school for their results, other clearance stuff and a little party the school organized for final year students to celebrate their finals. On the day of the party, the girls had dressed up and were looking very nice and elegant. They arrived the school auditorium where the party was going on and joined others to have fun, soon someone tapped the mic to get everyone's attention.

On look back to see who had been calling on the students, Osanna saw a familiar face on stage, she whispered to Alexa "I think I know this person", she thought harder and remembered... It was Victor standing on the stage. " It's HIM she whispered to Alexa again" she had already told Alexa at some point what happened in the past and Alexa already knew what she meant.

"I am here today, not to spoil you guys joy but to apologize for something I did in the past", Victor started, his voice shaking. "Osanna Williams please from the bottom of my heart I am sorry"' he said kneeling on the stage, " I know my actions cost you a lot and I took your childhood innocence away from you out of carelessness and I have no excuse, I am a dinner and I wish you forgive me. Please Osanna I am very sorry, find it in your heart to forgive me", Victor pleaded. Osanna just stared at him him confused, after some second tears flowed down her cheeks. Everyone was looking at her. Osanna tried to speak but words failed her instead the tears continued to flow and Alexa came closer gave her a side hug and patted her at the back to calm her down.

At that point everyone's phone chimed, their finals results had been uploaded. Alexa checked her's and she came out with a First class upper, she helped Osanna check her's and screamed when she saw the result. Osanna had made a first class as she showed it to Osanna, Osanna screamed and hugged Alexa so tightly. Osanna made her way to the stage were Victor was still kneeling in tears, she raised him up and told him she had forgiven him and hugged him. Everyone started clapping and the duo came down from the stage.

The rest of the night went well and soon the party ended. That Osanna felt a kind of peace she had never felt before, she was so happy she sang worship songs till she dosed off.

The next morning Osanna called her Dad and told him the good news, his joy knew no bounds. Mr. Williams congratulated Osanna and asked her what she wanted for achieving something so big, she replied him with an "anything at all Daddy", she didn't know whether to tell her Dad what happened in the night but then she did and he didn't react in the negative way she had assumed her rather he was happy and relieved at what had happened and praised Osanna for forgiving him as that was what God required her to do.

The next day Osanna was packing to travel back home when she got a call to come outside and confirm a package that came for her, on stepping out of her hostel gate she saw her whole family outside waiting for her she ran to them and they had a group hug. She looked at her Dad's back and saw a new car with a decorative writing saying congratulations and thank you My Daughter!!.
