MUTING IT√

TWELVE

"I already told you to expect me every weekend since we stay in the same estate and today I came with Dera and Tomiwa."

"Surprise!" The duo shouted before revealing theirselves, Tife was taller than them so it was easy for them to hide behind her.

A grin broke on Mimi's face, the first time she'd been able to smile since morning, coming back from the therapy session today, all she did was wallow in her thoughts, the questions the therapist had asked had brought back the memories and it was apparent she would have to resume her sleepless night that's if it isn't accompanied by bad dreams.

"Won't allow us to come in?" Dera's chirpy voice said and Mimi opened the door widely and they all trooped in.

"You have your room here right?" Tife questioned while looking around the cozy living room, she'd never been to any of the chalet houses, she never had any cause to.

Looking at it now, it was a beautiful house though it was somehow small but it was cozy, the living room wasn't up to half of her room but the coziness and warm feeling in it made up for that, entering Mimi's room, it was just the same size as the living room, well, it was just an holiday house.

"You have a nice room," Dera complimented before sitting on the only couch in the room while Tomiwa sat on the wooden chair, they were the only chairs in the room so Tife had to sit on the bed with Mimi, it was actually a queen-sized bed.

"Isn't that Christian's drawing?" Tomiwa pointed at the painting on the wall and the others swung their gaze to the wall before turning back to Mimi who shrugged then she picked her pen and jotter.

I picked it from my mom's room so, I don't know if it's his.

"It is, that's his signature under," Tife claimed and Mimi creased her brows before standing up to take a look at the signature, ever since she'd been looking at the painting, she never noticed any signature.

"What of your siblings?" Dera questioned after some seconds and Mimi turned back to her.

Lara is in the room while Fara and Lola went down to Mirabel's place with Christy.

"Really? Are they that close?" Tomiwa inquired and Dera laughed loudly.

"A replacement to Benita actually," Tife explained and Tomiwa nodded, he thought as much, Christy never related with anyone except her friends.

"So, what did they go there for? It can't just be a visit, Christy would never take them along," Dera finally stopped laughing.

I think it's to discuss about Mirabel's birthday or something.

Dera and Tife clapped simultaneously.

"It's Mirabel's birthday next week, it would surely be an elaborate one," Tife said.

"Of course, someone that loves throwing party before, it's another time to show off," Dera added with a hiss.

"You know sometimes I do wonder if she's really Miss Miracle's younger sister, they seem so different," Tomiwa voiced out and others nodded.

They shifted from the topic to another before Mimi offered them the sausage rolls she and her mother had baked earlier in the morning before she left for the boutique. Yeah, Sindara now worked at one of Maple's numerous boutique after convincing Lisha so many times.

"Hmmm, this is heavenly," Dera moaned and the others laughed before Mimi served them some drinks.

"Thanks," Tomiwa said and Mimi smiled in return before going back to the bed.

They moved to another topic again and Mimi smiled. She was really grateful they visited her, her foul mood had changed to a better one and her mind didn't go down memory lane but then she knew it would surely come back when they leave.
