"CIARA.!!!”
“CIARA COME HERE IMMEDIATELY.”
Why is this woman yelling my name this early morning.
“Yes mommy, I’m on my way.”
“CIARA GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY.”
Gosh, she wont even give me some time to look presentable in case my possible future husband is out there.
But no! she will continue yelling till she sees me down there.
Can someone please explain to me why mothers are this way?
Ah! so frustrating and exhausting. By the time I will even get there, there is a possibility she is just calling me to eat.
I rush down to see an angry looking old lady.
After two seconds, I realize that is my mother and I immediately burst into a fit of laughter. She looks like someone pooed on her face.
“What is it mom? stop turning the house upside down.” I said in a joking manner but shockingly, she didn’t laugh.
Weird.
“Turning the house upside down?” She questioned shouting.
Oh my.
“Mom, I didn’t mean it that way.”
“What the hell is the meaning of this Ciara?” She asked throwing a bunch of papers to my face.
I gather them from the floor and begin to read them. It seems to be a hospital report.
Half way through the paper, I get so shocked I can’t even blink.
What the heck is the meaning of this? Oh God please forgive me for swearing but… no! no! this isn’t possible.
I mean how.
“No no mommy there is something wrong with this report.”
Immediately I ended my sentence, a sharp pain was felt across my check and I feel the tears already spilling.
Never in the twenty-one years of my life have I been slapped by anyone. And my own mom just slapped me for something that isn’t even true. I now know why in the movies when a person is slapped, the tears automatically start flowing. Let me tell you it hurts more than period cramps ten times.
“Mom, listen to me I am telling you the truth. I’ve never seen the nakedness of a man to talk about being pregnant for one. I’m still a virgin for crying out loud.”
Yet again, another slap.
I really think I should go back a bit to avoid myself another one.
“I’m so disappointed in you Sophie.
Do you know the disgrace you want to bring upon this family do you think your father’s business associate will still want to work with him after knowing that his only daughter now goes round sleeping with men.
Now you better tell me who the father of that bastard is before I add another slap”
“Mommy, I do not know. I’m telling you the truth. I am not pregnant. Please believe me.” I cried out.
“Okay, so what I understand from what you are saying is that you do not know who is responsible for the pregnancy right.
So, upon all the brains you have inherited and acquired, you still sleep around with men and moreover, without protection?
I would ask you to give me the names of men you have slept with but I am very sure you just pick them up from the club as one-night stands.”
“MOMMY!!.” I yelled at her in a defeated tone.
“Please don’t speak like that. I am your daughter, your only one . don’t say things like that to me please!.”
“Shut up. From now on, I have no daughter that I know of. I cannot take care of any bastard in this house.
Your father doesn’t even want to see your face. You almost killed him for me.
Do you know the shock he had when he read them. How could you be so careless. I want you to go in there and pack your things. Leave to whoever it is that impregnated you.”
“Mom please don’t say that…” I say as my mind has still not registered and assessed whatever is going on.
Where is jake? At least he will believe and defend me.
“Baby sis, what is going on, why are you crying? And mom why are you yelling on top of your voice like that?” Justin questioned coming into the living room.
His evening shift has probably ended.
“I am telling this slut of a sister of yours, this prostitute that I have no daughter"
"Mom don’t say things like that can you please explain to me what is going on? Is she adopted or she stole your ice-cream?" He asked looking serious.
I immediately burst into a fit of laughter.
Now can you imagine someone about to be disowned for something she did not do. Crying like a fish who has misplaced her eggs and laughing like I am sitting Infront of a world class comedian.
Wait, do fishes even cry. I will find out later.
"You see this prostitute you call a sister, goes around shamelessly sleeping with homeless guys and now she is pregnant and does not know even the father of the bastard."
"WHAT !!?"A voice boomed from the back door.
Oh God thank you so much .
Jack has finally arrived I’m he will get out of this mess.
"Sophia is that true?"
Justin asks calmly
"No Justin, Jake you know me ; you are my best friend . Do you think I will stoop too low. Don’t you think if I was to do that you would be the first person to know?"
"I don’t care whatever dram it is you want to put up for your brothers. Just hurry and leave my house."
"No mom, let’s not take hasty decisions that we might regret later. Sophia, tell me, who is the father of the child?"
“I don’t know Justin” I yelled out so exhausted.
How many times should I explain to these people that I am not pregnant. Maybe it was a mistake that will repeat. Why aren’t they even thinking of that.
“Can’t you guys understand? I said I am not pregnant” I voiced out throwing a small tantrum.
"Jake please say something”
I pleaded as he remained quiet standing there looking petrified
“I have nothing to say. Mom, do whatever you want it doesn’t matter to me”
