Unforgettable History

Clara strolled down the hall ways,her glasses tightly fixed to her eyes as the breeze blew rapidly sending chills down her spine.

A smiled sneaked across her face remembering the good-bad days of her youth when she saw tow little children arguing over a toy.

She walked towards them as they were both engrossed in their argument,"Hello kids.."She interrupted.

The kids turned to her panting,"Miss Clara it's mine!"The older one whined tucking the toy to herself,"You're lying,it's mine you borrowed it"The other half yelled fighting back to drag off the toy.

"It's alright kiddos!,how about this??"She stated smiling to see their reaction as the kids turned waiting keenly to hear what she has to say.

Clara took the toy and gave to the small kid,

"But......"

"Shhh!"She shushed her up immediately with a warm smile,"Is she your age mate precious??"She asked.

"No Miss Clara"The older one name precious answered grumpily with squeezed face.

"Come here honey..."Clara placed her hands on her shoulders squatting to her level,"Darling!.....time will come when this toy wouldn't be so important to you....the more you grow ,the more responsible you become and you'll have much responsibility too....I thought she's you're friends?"She explained asking.

Precious nodded staring at her friend Miracle as a slight smile creeped onto her lips.

"Now tell me darling...is it right to share things with your friends??"Clara asked further.

"Yes it is "Precious responded lowering her face in guilt as she fidgeted with the hem of her gown.

"Then why dragging??...When she's done with it she'll get it back to you,that's what friends do!they'll never spoil your things or do things that'll hurt you okay??"She reassured her as she raised her head smiling broadly."Yes please "She grinned wider.

Clara turned to Miracle with a fake frown,"Hope you'll return it??"She asked.

Miracle stared at the toy,then at precious and back to Clara,"yes I will "She responded tenderly.

"Good girl and don't spoil it okay??"Clara smiled patting her gently on the hair,"yes please"Miracle happily responded grinning,she walked to her friend pushing her gently by the arm,"I won't spoil it I promise "She stated which got her friend smiling.

Clara smiled watching the kids leave her sight,if only she could rewind time!If only her past was as perfect as these kids, she wouldn't have had any regrets at all.

"Miss Clara??"She heard her name from behind as she felt a tap on her shoulders

"Yes please?"She responded.

"Jeez I've been calling your name, where's your mind huh??"Mrs Annabel her colleague teased.

"Ugh,I'm sorry just a little stressed out!"She replies smiling warmly.

"Ohh so sorry, ma'am asked me to call you it's time for the meeting,hope everyone is gone??"She asked blabbing.

"Yes, they're... thanks,let's go then"Clara stated as they both walked to the hall of meeting.

The meeting went smoothly as the proprietress corrected their faults.

She left for home feeling a little bit dizzy,"mummy...mummy!!"She heard her kids voice as they rushed towards her.

Angel David Micheal and Sophia were her four kids.

"Uhm mum Sophia has been whining,she wouldn't eat her golden morn"Angel complained as soon as they got to their mum."And is that your good afternoon??"Clara retorted.

"Sorry mum.. good afternoon"Angel corrected giggling sheepishly.

"So you can't even take care of your junior sis eh?,how will you take care of yourself when you go into the university??"Clara questioned carrying Sophia.

"But mum....."

"Don't but me!just look at your sister,has she taken her bathe??has she done her assignments?? No!!,you're eighteen for crying out loud, this shouldn't be so and you know it!"She half yelled at Angel correcting her mistakes.

"I'm sorry mum"Angel apologized staring daggers at Sophia which Clara ignored.

"So how are you guys??"She asked smooching Micheal to herself,"We're good"They replied in unison while Sophia played with her hair.

They all walked inside as Clara dropped Sophia rushing into the bathroom to take a shower.

She couldn't help but smile as the chilled water touched her bare skin.

Gosh!!wish life was chilled and good as this!

When she was done she dressed up,put on a light make up to her face and walked down stairs to the sitting room.

Her kids were watching their favourite Kids Tv movie while Angela alone was engrossed on watching her Kung Fu channel on phone.

She walked to the dinning opening the food placed on the table,"Is this mine?"She questioned,"Yes mum!"Angel responded,her eyes still fixed on the movie.

She sighed and sat ready to munch her meal.

The day has been hectic already!.

Her fork fought it's way through the noodles as she devoured them.

"Mum??!!"David her fifteen years old son called abruptly,"mm??"came her response.

"Could you tell us a story?"He questioned with pleading eyes as Clara stopped chewing her food for a while,faced her son then at her food.

"What kind of story do you want to hear?"She questioned still mouth-fulled.

"A story about you!"He grinned not realizing his mother's shocked face.

She was stunned for a while,trying hard to recollect her Son's words.

"What did you say??"She questioned in disbelief.

"I said....."

"Will you shut up there??"Angel cut him off rudely.

"It's alright!"Clara sighed interrupting the kids as she dropped her fork.

"How about you come to the dinning and I'll tell you a brief history of my life,if it so pleases you!"She added as the others who were so engrossing in the movie turned to face their mum.

"I want to hear it too!"Michael pouted,"sure,come on everyone"Clara smiled warmly as they all rushed to the dinning together with Angel who felt a little less concerned and reluctant.

"Alright,so I'm gonna tell you my life story and I hope you get a lesson from it!"She says staring at her eager kids whose ears where ready to get close to her mouth if it could except Angel who was so engrossed on her movie.

"Angel..eh...em!!"She cleared her throat attracting her attention as she continued,"This story is mainly for you Angel and I hope you listen attentively.. I've groomed you to this stage and you'll be leaving for university soon,I won't be there neither would your supposed future father!"Clara said making Angel drop her phone immediately.

"But mum...I already.."

"You don't know anything,not even quarter of it!"Clara interrupted her.

Angel sighed defeated as she folded her arms grimming.

"Alright everyone"She smiled staring at her little kids who were all eager to her story.

"My story goes like this......."
