CIRCLES

I’m Stacy, everything about me seems to be f*****g boring, I wished I’ve never been born at first, this is me and my boring life story. Well, is kinda of interesting but stupid. My mum actually wasn’t ready for me to come into the world cause she was still very little of age, she somehow came across my dad when she was just sixteen, she got pregnant and was not even sure about my dad being responsible for the child; but history found out he was responsible for me. My dad didn’t really give a f**k about me coming into this world, and my mum almost took me out cause she wasn’t ready as well, but I think I was kind of stubborn from birth; I refused to go off. But as the case may be, I was born. I was still so little. When I turned a year old, my mum got pregnant again, I wasn’t mature enough to know what was happening between my parents but; I think there was a huge conflict between them. The only last things I could remember about my dad and my younger brother Eric was when he yelled at my mum, cursing her, he dragged my brother from my mum’s hand and said he’s last words. “We’re splitting the children, I go with Eric and you go with Stacy”. Then he left leaving my mum in pains screaming at the top of her voice and crying out to the world. Eric was still so little when my dad took of with him. My mum and I lived with Her parents and siblings, they supported her a bit, but we couldn’t meet up with so many bills and other things. Years went by and I gradually grew up forgetting my dad’s image and everything about him, my mum threw everything about my dad away. They were both little when they had kids, and with this years of not being with him even made me and my mom stronger and tighter. We learnt so much during our past years We went through tough times on our own. Not until I turned 20, my mum had hands with a company and we soon became rich , we grew from nothing to something. We got our own huge mansion, my mum promised to give me the best of everything not minding our past lives. My high school years weren’t good but at least my college(institution) year is gonna be the best. Since my mum and I were having everything to our feet, our house, parking lot were filled with cars. We had the best cooks and house nannies. My mum made sure we had everything to the fullest, clothes, food and I attended the most expensive college. But before I got into college My mum changed everything about her name and mine, she paid her lawyer to change my name from my high school up on till date , that’s how I got the name ivy hart. The Hart family. My grandma and grandpa were living comfortable because of my mum, they stayed at our mansion though. Her siblings also did, my mum also owned a big fashion shop. Named “Hart luxury”. Her fashion store grew wild and fast that every big and wealthy men, women and guy’s came to buy clothes, shoes and lot more from it. We became popular because of my mum’s fashion shop. I later got enrolled into to school my school MERRYS COLLEGE”. A very lovely school. I told my mum I’d prefer staying in school to attend classes. But my mum declined, she wanted me to stay from home to school. “You don’t have to decide what’s best for you, I do! ” my mum said. “So were I’m I gonna live in? I asked my mum. “Ummm the house I guess..... “mum....!!!” I grumbled. “Mum, it’s not like they don’t have a nice hostel, they do, this is one of the richest school in country okay, I bet there facilities will be good” I said to my mum. “Have you talked to grandma and the others about this idea of me staying at home to school everyday, I don’t think they’d want that” I responded. “Do I have to tell them, come on girl I’m the one paying for your bills not them okay, they wouldn’t want you far away so we don’t have who to stress ourselves worrying what you’re up to out there” “for real!!!!! Mum you guys are still worried about me when I’m away? I’m not a child anymore” Yes we do, and we don’t get tired about worrying.....!! “f**k!!! I said while I covered my mouth”. “Mind your languages ivy. “Sorry mum” I said. “And your uncle Hudson said he has a surprise for you, don’t know what it is either, so don’t ask me” my mum said. A surprise? I asked myself inwards; but I still can’t think of the fact that I have to stay at home to school everyday I have class. “Mum please please, I really want to stay on my own, like have a place not staying in the house it’s really disturbing” I said. She stayed quiet for a while before speaking “that’s a second idea though, we’ll talk about that when we get home”. We were actually at a shop-mall. We got our item and drove home. We carried few of the items then the maids went to do the rest, they always know what to do. “Good evening granny’s ” I said, “good evening everyone “ I think we were just in time for dinner. “Come, sit! My uncle said. “Welcome Saha”. Her brothers and sister said. My mum siblings are five, and then her making them six. “You guys took forever” aunt Clara said; my mum’s younger sister. “I have a gift for you uncle Hudson said. Curiosity killed down my spine, what could it be? He handed me a gift bag, I slowly opened it. “Oh my goodness!!!!! To my surprise it was a brand new phone, not just any phone, an iPhone sixteen. “Thank you so much!!! I said with so much excitement. Well, I’ve been using my iPhone seven for years now and I wasn’t really bothered; but I needed a new one deep down, I just didn’t have the time to tell my mum; and I’m glad my uncle got one for me already. We all started to eat, when my grandpa brought up my school conversation. “So Saha, are you done with the whole process of ivy and her school documents? “Yes dad, it’s all cleared” my mum responded. I knew this was the time to tell everyone I don’t want to stay home to school everyday. “Umm, grandpa please tell my mum I don’t want to stay at home to school everyday” I said with a soft and polite tune. “Ivy....your mother’s decision is the best for you and with time you’ll get to understand why”. I felt like my heart was gonna pump to its limit. I lost appetite at the dinner; I stood up to leave, “Ivy, where are you going? My mum asked. “I’m not hungry” I said and Walked away. While going to my room I stood at a corner to listen to what they were saying. “Saha you don’t have to deprive her because of your past life” my grandma said. “I’m not mum, I’m just scared of her safety, If she goes out there alone; staying all by herself what if Tony comes back and take her away, and we are unaware about it, I know he’s still out there somewhere, he took Eric away from me and I’m not letting him take Stacy too”, my mum said calling me by my old name. The table was still with silence for a bit. I know mum is trying to protect me but what she doesn’t know, she’s also depriving me from the other life I’ll have without her. “Saha, your scared we all know that, and we’re always by your side”, “do you all think I’m happy without my son, I want my family back I don’t care if Tony comes back I just want my children to be with me. What if he’s out there suffering my son; teaching him to be hard on women the-same way he did to me, I promise myself I’ll get my son back, and he won’t be able to see he’s children ever again”. My mum said, I could feel the range and anger in her tune as she speaks. Tears rolled down my eyes as I went to my room quickly before they could notice me. She was just doing this, all the worrying and not letting me have free life In school was because of my dad. I don’t think if I could remember him even if I see him because I was little then, and mum threw away all he’s picture. And as for Eric i pray we meet some day, even if he doesn’t know I’m he’s sister I pray connection brings us together, because we both won’t know ourselves as well. Well I guess we’re both same age now.
