Dabira

*Chapter Four*

'' Look at my annoying baby sis slaying that outfit'' Sijibomi said, Shubomi nudged his shoulder.

''You didn't have to add the annoying baby part''                                                ''Sorry but damn you look so good in that outfit, I haven't seen you dress like this in like forever''                       ''What he is trying to say is that you look extremely nice in that dress'' Shubomi explained .                                 ''yes that's true ,all that's left is my hair and make-up , I don't know what to do about it''                                                   ''Don't worry , i got you , have a seat , close your eyes and wait for the magic to happen okay'' Dabira nodded, whilst Sijibomi grabbed a hair brush from Dabira's dresser ,as Shubomi walked out of the room.

******************************************************************

''Open your eyes, time for the big reveal''

The figure in front of the mirror looked almost unrecognizable . Sijibomi had done an amazing job with her hair and make-up, it was good to know that he still knew how to work his magic , he was so talented in so many things that one could not keep track of what he liked or disliked.

Dabira was wearing a long gown, in the color black made of shiny silk fabric that revealed her not so curvy curves, she had decided to pair the beautiful gown ,with black heels that complemented her average height. Sijibomi had styled her thick Afro into a bun, and complemented the look with some elegant make-up, light accessories ,and a black designer purse .

'' Do you like what you see?'' S ijibomi asked .
''I'm speechless, I literally don't know what to say. Thank you so much Sijibomi ''
''Oh no, don't worry my dear. I got you anytime'' Dabira looked into the mirror again, how had she not noticed how beautiful she was.

'' Dabira, I'm so proud of you'' ''Thank you Sijibomi''They hugged.

As they walked down the stairs to the living room, they could not help but notice how their mother's voice rang through the house.

''Orisa , you are not serious, in fact you were never serious , how can you say the hair and make-up stylist cancelled last minute ''Mrs Ayodele yelled.

''Ma please ,I will try my best to book another stylist now'' Orisa squeaked. ''Orisa , will you shut up . If you say rubbish here again, I will fire you last minute . Try me. If you spoil my plans for tonight, just start packing your bags.I will send you back to which ever agency I hired you from''.
'' Ma please I'm sorry , I won't do it again'' Orisa begged.
''Sorry for yourself''

Sijibomi helped Dabira walk down the stairs by holding her hand and leading her to take small steps down the stairs . It had been a long time since she had wore heels , she was so used to sandals and sneakers .It would take her quite a while to figure it out.

''Dabira you look so beautiful ''Orisa said, whilst Mrs Ayodele looked at her weirdly.
'' Orisa ,the only thing you are good at is picking clothes. I thank God for that ''Mrs Ayodele stated.

''Dabira you look good, who did your make-up ''Mrs Ayodele asked.
''Yes mummy, it's all thanks to Sijibomi here ''Sijibomi beamed.

''Let's start going, your father has already arrived at the venue, I want you children to use the range rover , whilst me and Orisa will use the new car''Mrs Ayodele said then hissed, walked out of the house with Orisa ,leaving Sijibomi stunned.

''She didn't say anything, she didn't even say thank you for doing your make-up and fixing your hair'' Sijibomi said as he covered his face with his palms.

''My hair didn't look that bad before so_'' Sijibomi cut Dabira off.
'' Seriously Dabira, you are on her side. The fact that your hair did not look that bad ,is not the point'' .
''Then what is the point'' Dabira asked. ''The point is that I'm under appreciated in this house, by my own mother .What could be more painful than that '' Sijibomi said, as tears rolled down his eyes.
It was true that Sijibomi was under appreciated . He was always given less attention and less choices to choose from, he had always been the second . He lived in the shadow of Shubomi, who particularly did not notice because, he was more focused on himself and Dabira to care about his own twin brother.Dabira had always wondered why Sijibomi had not pursed the arts which he was more gifted in, instead he had chose to study science which he was not doing so well in, all because their mother wanted her children to act the way she wanted them to and also do what she wants them to do.

''Sijibomi don't cry , I know you don't like what mummy is doing to you , but things will get better. I promise'' Dabira assured.

'' How are you able to make promises you cannot keep, just take a look at yourself , this is who she has turned you into , you cannot see how beautiful you are until someone tells you that you are. She literally gives us orders on how we should act and live our lives. She is the reason Kathy died''

''No , she isn't , she would never do such a thing to me , to us''
''Then darling, I think you should start doing your own investigations'' Sijibomi said as he wiped the tears off his face and walked out of the house. ''Was mom actually the cause of Kathy's death, is she actually controlling us'' Dabira thought.

''Hey Dabira, come let's go'' Shubomi who had just walked into the living room said whilst pulling Dabira along with him.

*********************************************************

The drive to the venue of the party was intense. Dabira could hear her heart beat and despite the air conditioning was on full blast, she was sweating profusely.

''Dabira are you okay, you look stressed'' Shubomi asked .
''Nothing just nervous'' She whispered.
''Don't worry Dabira, you look really beautiful and there is no need to be nervous okay'' Shubomi said as he patted Dabira's shoulder.

'' Maybe she is finally realizing the truth'' Sijibomi retorted.
''What truth''Shubomi asked.
''The crystal clear freaking truth that she has refused to notice''
''Hey Sijibomi, language please ''Shubomi corrected.
''Sorry''
''If you guys are fighting, please don't let it spoil your moods . Mom won't like it. By the way , what truth are you guys talking about'' Shubomi asked. ''Nothing'' Sijibomi and Dabira said in unision.

Dabira let out a huge sigh. She knew the worst person to fight with was Xander Sijibomi Ayodele, he was very emotionally sensitive and was also good at snubbing anyone who got on his bad side.

''We have finally gotten to our destination'' The driver said .
