They say that time is the best healer, and over time, Ts’eli recovered from the pain and ire. She admitted that it wasn’t meant to be between her and Molemo. She started to look at life differently, and she realised that sometimes she had to be patient like Molemo had told her, and that she was not in the race with anybody.

She understood that other people’s lives weren’t on the same schedule as hers and that there was no race in life. Although marriage was important in her life, she realised that it did not surpass everything else: it was as good as other affairs that life offered.

Now, her job became the most important thing in her life since it occupied a great deal of her time. She became a happy employee, though at times Molemo crossed her mind. She recognized that it was normal to remember someone who had once meant so much to her. While she began to enjoy her work more, an opportunity presented itself to her. She received a scholarship from the ministry to study and pursue a degree program in one of the biggest universities in Asia. The opportunity knocked when she least expected it, and she welcomed it with open arms.

When it was time to begin her studies, she flew to Asia. She considered herself to be the luckiest woman in the world, and realised that God doesn’t waste pain. She also recognised how school was important to her career. Then she became aware that Molemo was right to decide to advance his studies. She realized how stupid she was to dump Molemo merely because he did what she is doing now. And so she reckoned that it would be wise to apologise to him, and if it would be possible, to win him back.

Even though Ts’eli changed her phone numbers, she still possessed Molemo’s phone numbers. She called him and informed him about her new opportunities since they broke up. Molemo was extremely happy for Ts’eli and he encouraged her to exert more effort into her studies. Ts’eli was so grateful to have known such a wonderful person like Molemo.

Bit by bit, their friendship evolved into a strong love affair. Molemo completed his studies, returned to his job and was quickly promoted. Then, after about a year, Ts’eli returned from Asia with a degree in labour laws and she was given a high position.

In no time, a wedding was set, where Molemo and Ts’eli were joined in matrimony as one flesh.

Then, Molemo recalled her grandfather’s words, who passed on a month before their union when he said, “A woman’s brain works anti-clockwise.” He laughed and hugged his spouse.
