"Don't you dare speak to me that!" Dora spat, raised Voice,pointing index finger to Dubem.
"Oh Please it's my mouth and I can say whatever I want and to ever I want to pause ... just to the thought of it , what place do you hold in my life sighs wait you hold no place in my life, chuckles...do you? "
The other lady already fuming.
" Am not even interested to know my place in your life, what you say ,doesn't matter to me at all. FYI, your opinions never added any value to my life ."
Dubem rolls her eyes in annoyance.
"Whatever... Barren ",whisper mumbles to Dora.
Oh Dora is mad and hurt.
"What Did you say! ?" Dora asks angrily.
Mike tries to calm them down, "Ladies."
The ladies Ignoring him
Dubem looking straight into her eyes , clearly not afraid of responding.
" Whatever you heard !" She talks through her teeth
Dora about to give her a befitting response
"Listen here..."
"Enough! " Michael orders , Loud enough for them to startle and quite down.
"But Babe..." Dora refusing to listen .
"Dora... I said...enough." Michael says with calmness and authority, looking to his right where she's standing 2 feet from her, as his in the middle.
Dora deeply sighs and releases a breath she didn't know she was holding.
Mike signals them to sit down. As they in the living room.
The two angry ladies do as they shown.
•••••••••••••
"What happened... this time?" Michael asking Dora as his looking at her.
"Okay...I was..."
"Bro..." Dubem rudely interrupts
"Why do I feel like you already taking her side " she complains to her Big brother.
Before Mike could respond
" I am his wife AND YOUR ELDER.. so keep your mouth shut okay ..." Dora seemingly fights for her rights.
Michael defeatedly watches the two.
Dubem not planning to quite down.
" I-WAS-NOT -talking-to-you...Nor do I care if you are his side chick okay madame ..." Dubem rudely responds Dora with her sassy attitude looking straight into her eyes, meaning every word.
"DUBEM!" She startels at her brother reprimand.
"Where are your manners huh?... in my presence you are disrespecting MY WIFE ?"
"Bro.." she tries to defend herself at her already angry brother
" And you still back talking? .... kedu ihe na -eme gi? [What is wrong with you in igbo ]
Dubem angrily sighs and rolls her eyes directed at Dora.
Dora too has a satisfying smile as her husband defends.
Michael realises the sudden facial mockery of the the ladies .
" And am not taking sides here ...am just asking my wife ... a simple question and your turn shall come...nothing more than that." He tries to calm the tension.
Dubem rolls her eyes again believing that her brother won't take her side.
"Dora go ahead. " Michael tells Dora .
