IRINESSA
*+~┗━✦❘༻༺❘✦━┛~+*
To say I was annoyed would be a total understatement. Many people tell me I am a very stubborn girl, and I don't disagree with them at all.
I say this because at the moment I am sitting at the dinner table, listening to my mama scold me for the second time today. First it was her completely shaming and bashing me, now it's her trying to convince me to get married to a man. She has brought up this conversation countless amount of times, and I am sick of it.
"Mama, why do you want me to get married so badly? I am only twenty-two." I raise my voice at her, which was not a smart idea. She sighs, throwing her hands in the air in frustration, then looking at my papa who stood silent beside her. My papa did not agree with her choices and decisions, which led to them constantly arguing over stupid shit.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" She crossed her arms, narrowing her dull eyes at him. His eyes shut, his fingers massaging his temples. "Anya, let this go for a while, yes?" He settled his hand on her shoulder, in attempt to calm her down.
"Ivan—enough is enough. It is not safe here with your stupid mafia business," She throws his hands off her harshly. "I can't believe I have been dragged into this dangerous nonsense bullshit!" She practically screams, while waving her trembling hands in the air.
"Our daughter should be married to a strong and wealthy man for her protection. She should not be goofing around at her grown age. You are a woman Irinessa, act like it." She scoffs, looking at me in pure disgust. "I wish I had a daughter that would just accept my wishes for once." She crosses her arms before storming off, leaving me with my papa. "Nessa." My papas soft voice takes me out of my deep thoughts. He walks over to me, pulling me into his warm embrace and that's when I break. I sobbed into his chest, staining his white dress shirt.
My mama has said so many hurtful things to me, I don't know why I was crying over this.
I felt his hand run through my hair comfortingly. "I don't know why she can't respect my decisions, papa." My voice cracks. "I'm not ready." I sniffle, holding onto him as if he was going to disappear. I needed a good comforting parent in my life and I was beyond grateful I had my dad. "I understand you, I will speak to her." He plants a kiss on the top of my head. "Get some rest." His voice is hushed. I force myself to get out of his comforting embrace, and I start heading upstairs to my old bedroom.
As I tuck myself in my cold sheets, I sniffle and wonder. Why did a sweet caring man like my papa, marry that woman that I call my mother.
