Kendal was back in Philadelphia and came from a school in Washington DC, she used to live in Philadelphia and all her parents were staying in Queens village, the mother was Anita Brad and the father Cahill Brad, the father was the Bank manager at standard chartered Bank and the wife used to as a nurse in the hospital of Pennsylvania, the parents were hard-working and never had time for their daughter which resulted in her being involved in smoking and drinking alcohol, to release stress she used to smoke and drink after some time passed she remembered what Kimberly said to her to stop this bad habit which could harm her, this was becoming addictive and causing her to do it a couple of times in a day.

Kendal thought of going back to Kimberly now she was scared of those awful things she said to her, she tried being strong it was a waste, the courage was distorted, Kendal went to the maid Mama opal that was her name, it was funny calling her this name when Kendal arrived asking Mama opal if they can have a personal chat with her it was a good thing she agreed, Kendal explained everything during university how she started smoking and drinking alcohol, Mama opal was shocked she screamed, Kendal pleaded to her to stay quiet.

I have been experiencing a lot of problems, my parents are always busy with their jobs, an m I been mean to spend time with my family Kendal said, mama opal started advising Kendal ' I know you have been going through many things right now but you should stop doing things on your own, living a life of Christ just like he did was amazing cause without God we are nothing do you have a Bible ?' Kendal responded " I have it now stopped reading when I had engaged myself in a bad habit lost interest.

Mama opal answered " you should never put God aside you well know that penalty of sin is death, give me your Bible first I teach you some we break this habit, Kendal gently got the Bible and gave it to Mama opal and she started reading the Bible which says ,Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good,Kendal "wow that's great I love the verse so tell me what should I do about my friend Kimberly."

Mama opal replied " you should go and apologize to your best friend, you know life is better with friends cause when we are troubled or experiencing calamity friends are there for us,"

Kendal " I will pursue her until she forgives me, she knows well I can't live without her, we have been friends for a couple of years for now upon saying that she chuckled.When Mama opal finished teaching her, Kendal dressed up quickly and started telling Mama opal " how do I look? Mama opal " you look, fantastic dear, I wished you had a boyfriend,"

Kendal " I will wait for God's time, I don't want to make the same mistake I had made previously, right now an m focused on changing my bad habits, I know I will allow God to use me for reals ." an m leaving now Mamma opal and she went.
