Blessing allowed Victoria to be close to her pending the time her wounds healed so he wouldn't look like he didn't care about her since she was wounded because of him and during those times Victoria was able to get more closer to Blessing and knows something about him. Even after Victoria's wounds heal, Blessing isn't able to stay away from Victoria because she now seems closer to him and doesn't wanna stay away from him always monitoring Blessing's movement. Blessing and Victoria continue living their lives like rivals but Blessing's plan remains to find a way to make Victoria stay away from him and Victoria's plan remains to change Blessing.
Blessing and Victoria were just 15 years old when Blessing's grandpa fell ill. Blessing's grandpa had an illness that caused him to be admitted to the hospital and he had been unconscious ever since he was admitted into the hospital. Blessing grandma spent most of her time in the hospital watching over the grandpa.
Ever since Blessing's grandpa had been admitted into the hospital and in a coma, Blessing's mother began to visit frequently checking up on her father but ever since she began to visit, she had never been able to talk to Blessing. After Blessing sets his eyes on his mother in the hospital the first day she visits, his mother has not seen him nor been able to talk to him, and that makes her realize Blessing is angry at his family. Blessing's grandma told Blessing to talk and see his mother but he refused saying he doesn't want to see his mother or have anything to say to her.
Victoria had been unhappy ever since Blessing's grandpa went into a coma because the house seemed boring and was scared that the grandpa might die. She no longer has much time to spend with Blessing because she also has to go to the hospital regularly to check on the grandpa and grandma. Victoria also seemed to know why Blessing was refusing to see his mother but decided not to interfere so as not to make Blessing angry at her.
Blessing's mother did ask her mother about Victoria and she told her she and her father adopted Victoria because of Blessing since they think Blessing needs someone to lean on even though he shows and acts like he doesn't. Blessing's grandma also told Blessing's mother that they are the cause of what Blessing had turned into today and why he is refusing to see her or talk to her. Blessing's mother told the grandma she is ready to make amendments concerning Blessing knowing they had wronged him and Blessing's grandma made Blessing's mother realize that if she ever wanted to get to see Blessing or get to talk to him then she needed to go talk to Victoria. Blessing's mother understood what her mother meant by that and decided to go see Victoria.
Blessing was not home that day and his grandma was in the hospital with the grandpa when Blessing's mother told Victoria that she needed to speak to her privately. Victoria was anxious a first concerning why Blessing's mother wanted to see her as Blessing's mother was seated in front of her in the living room.
There was silence between the both of them as they were seated and Victoria could not look at Blessing's mother then suddenly Blessing's mother stood up from where she was seated and went to kneel in front of Victoria. Victoria was shocked to see Blessing's mother kneel in front of her and she had to stand up wondering why she kneeled in front of her. Victoria didn't know why she kneeled in front of her but she knew it wasn't right for her to do that and wanted to help her stand up but Blessing's mother said to her "let me be like this".
"I don't understand what is going on, ma, but I can't let you stay like this. You should stand up" said Victoria to Blessing's mother.
"Am sure you will have heard about what happened either from my parents or Blessing. Everything you heard was true. We abandoned him because we were ashamed of his scar. We did the worst thing parents could do to their children to him. But right now am ready to make amendments and to do that I need to talk to him and see him" said Blessing's mother with sadness.
"I have indeed heard about it but you need to stand, ma. You should not be in this position. Who am I that you should be kneeling to?" said Victoria feeling uncomfortable that Blessing's mother is on her knees.
"I would not stand up not until you agreed to help me. I know you don't owe anything but please help me. Help me Victoria. Help me find a way to get Blessing to talk to me" said Blessing's mother.
"Am not sure I can do that. I don't know much but I know he hates you. I don't think I can get him to talk to you. I don't know what he might do to me if I ask him to talk to you. And I don't want to get on his bad side. What even makes you think I can persuade him to see you and talk to you?" said Victoria worried.
"Yeah, I know he hates me and my mother told me about you. We hurt him very badly, Victoria, and I know I am a bad mother but please help me. Am ready to make things right. I just need to talk to him" said Blessing's mother.
"Am sorry. I don't think I can. You need to stand up" said Victoria.
"There is no one I can go to, Victoria", (Blessing mother began to cry), "I have hurt him in so many ways that I am not fit to say. We shouldn't have abandoned him or be ashamed of him. That is the greatest mistake we made but am ready to be there for him now. I have realized my mistake. Am ready to become his mother just like he wants me to be. Am ready to love him like a mother should love his son" said Blessing's mother crying.
Seeing her cry, Victoria could not tell her that she wouldn't be able to talk to Blessing or persuade him knowing Blessing would be furious. Victoria felt Blessing's mother was sincere about all that she said but talking to Blessing about his mother's request to see him and talk to him will be so hard and unpredictable but she thought it is also not right for Blessing to hate his parents. Blessing's mother (crying) said to Victoria "am so sorry. Please help me. I need my son back".
Victoria decided to help Blessing's mother and kneeled in front of Blessing's mother saying to her "I will try my best".
Hearing that, Blessing's mother was glad and she thanked Victoria and hugged her.
Victoria knew asking Blessing to see his mother and talk to her was gonna be hard and she didn't know how Blessing might react so she decided to first make Blessing happy before she started the conversation with him.
Blessing was confused and surprised when Victoria suddenly came to him saying she wanted to make him happy for the day so he should go out with her. Blessing wondered why Victoria would want to make him happy and quickly thought Victoria must want something from him for her to suddenly come to him saying she wanted to make him happy so he said that he was happy and didn't need anyone to make him happy.
Hearing Blessing's responses, Victoria said to Blessing "okay. But why don't you just go out with me instead", but Blessing declined.
Seeing there was no way to persuade Blessing to go out with her, Victoria told Blessing that she would grant him a wish if he went out with her. Blessing was happy to hear that and asked if Victoria was serious about granting him a wish. Victoria said yes and Blessing saw that as a chance to finally get Victoria off his back, and then Blessing agreed to go out with Victoria.
Victoria took Blessing to fun places which Blessing has never been to because most of the places he has been to are always quiet places. Being in those places with Victoria made Blessing realize what it was like to have fun which was part of what he was missing in his life. Blessing realizes fun is an amazing thing to have and a thing that can called one of a kind. Blessing didn't want to have fun at first but when Victoria forced him into it threatening not to grant him the wish if he did not have fun he was glad that she forced him to have fun. Blessing felt excited and couldn't explain the feeling of fun he was feeling since he never had one and had forgotten and buried all things from his childhood. That feeling alone made Blessing forget about everything about himself and ask himself if Victoria was an angel sent to him.
Victoria also noticed the way Blessing felt about having fun and that was the first he saw him smile brightly and happily. Victoria realizes Blessing is missing a lot of things in his life and she is ready to get those things back into his life and change everything about him but that now seems impossible because she knows Blessing was going to ask her to stay away from him since she granted him a wish.
Victoria and Blessing spent the day having fun till night visiting fun places and after that Victoria took Blessing to the abandoned building. Getting to the abandoned building, Victoria started the conversation with funny things that made her and Blessing smile and be happy. They were both having a fun time on the rooftop of the building when Victoria suddenly told Blessing about his mother's request.
Hearing that, Blessing became angry and told Victoria what concerned her with him and his mother asking her if that was why she wanted him to go out with her today. Victoria tried to explain to Blessing why he should go see his mother but Blessing refused to hear and Victoria could see he was furious hearing about his mother. At that moment, Victoria was scared of what Blessing might do but she had to find a way to persuade Blessing to go see his mother since she promised Blessing's mother.
While Victoria was pleading with Blessing to go see his mother, Blessing could feel he was boiling inside and could do or say anything at that moment so he decided to leave. Blessing tried to walk away from Victoria but Blessing was surprised when he saw Victoria kneel in front of him pleading that Blessing should go see his mother. Blessing wondered why Victoria was acting like that as if she didn't know what happened and asked her why.
Victoria told him that was the same way his mother kneeled in front of her pleading that she should get him to see her. Blessing was shocked and confused to hear that her mother kneeled pleading to Victoria to get him to talk to her, and chose not to believe that wondering why his mother would do that since she no longer loved him which was the reason why he was abandoned.
Blessing said nothing to Victoria and wanted to walk away but stopped upon hearing Victoria say to him "if you promise to go see your mum. I promise to leave. That way I will never disturb you or try to change you", but Blessing said nothing to Victoria and left.
That night Blessing never came back home. Two days later, Blessing still didn't come back home and Victoria and Blessing's mother tried finding Blessing but couldn't. Victoria even looked at every place Blessing could be or go to thinking he might just want to distance himself from them but she was unable to find him and that made Victoria regret telling Blessing to see his mother and made Blessing's mother ever regret that she wants to see the son she abandoned. Blessing's mother was at least relieved that Blessing was with her mother and father which is a safe place but now they have no idea where Blessing is or went and that made her so worried and scared.
