Kate and Lisa have been childhood friends. Their mothers were co-workers before they retired and best of friends too. They took their relationship home and transferred same love to each other's family. It was such a beautiful thing to always see each family step out in peace and unity like they were bonded by blood.
When Kate got admitted into the university, her parents had no money for accommodation. Lisa on the other hand got a rented apartment. She told Kate that she could come live with her. Kate was overjoyed. And so she moved in with Lisa.
One day, while Lisa was away, Kate wanted to surprise Lisa by making her her favorite meal. Unknown to Lisa, Kate had been saving up for this surprise. She hurriedly went to the market and bought some things to make a plate of macaroni bolognese for her best friend.
Kate prayed in her heart that Lisa shouldn't be back until she was done. After cooking, she decorated the room with some balloons and candles. Since she couldn't afford to get her best friend a cake. She wrote her a letter instead and placed it under the plate of food she had made.
Food was ready and the house was set for Lisa to walk in. Kate picked up her phone to call Lisa and know her whereabout. Lisa responded that she was on her way home and would be home in the next ten minutes.
Kate checked the whole arrangement to ensure everything was put in place. Satisfied at her arrangement, she laid down and waited for her friend.
