Despite her situation, she was very dedicated to the work of God. She and her husband had sung a birthday song for Suzan that Sunday morning (16th of August) to show their love, this is accompanied by a lovely gift. Suzan was on top of the world that day because, she was showered with a lot of gifts and good compliments. Trust the "Nightingale", she sang a melodious worship to appreciate God's goodness to her. Towards the end of the service, she was called to the altar for prayer; the congregants did the normal church tradition (prayer). The service ended with a light refreshment from Suzan's family to celebrate her special day.

"I'm tired! I'm no more interested in learning it" Suzan tells Joel grudgingly. "Never! It's not gonna happen my sweetie! You persuaded me to bring you here to learn snookers, you can't tell me nothing!" Joel says emphatically, giving Suzan a funny look. She attempts to drop the stick and move away from the snooker, but too late, Joel catches and drags her back to the game. She continues to struggle with him, laughing. Joel later pardons her when she says she is famished. They walk to "Mama Cass" restaurant which is very close to the stadium where they had gone to play snookers. She orders for a plate of her favorite local "Amala and Gbegiri" soup, while Joel prefers a plate of fried rice. Joel stares at Suzan passionately as she eats her food. "Won't you eat your food? Abi, why are you staring at me like you've just seen an Angel?" Suzan says jokingly. "You're actually the Angel of my life, I love you so much! Joel replies. " I love you more than you can imagine! Can you eat now?" Suzan says while taking one of Joel's meat.

"Shiiiiiiit! This morning devotion bell didn't allow me finish my Amala" Imagine me, describing my worst food as my favourite! That's very impossible, Amala of all food" She started laughing aloud, as she dragged herself out of the bed to join others for devotion. After the devotion, house chores were done, and preparation were being made for Suzan's return to school the next day; she would be in her SS1 First Term. While filling up her luggage, she saw some of the pictures taken during Bro Joel's wedding, two years back. There was a particular one she took with the couple alone; she was among the bridal train.
