The price of obedience

<div class "text -justify"> Chapter 4. The day of the thanksgiving came and everyone was elegantly dressed looking gorgeous in their outfits, except Abi who had plans to cause another commotion in the ceremony. She had planned to beat Erica since the day they arrived and it was known to her that she was another daughter. Mr. Jude Adeleke's siblings had no female child and since the whole thanksgiving there had always been a custom that a female child of Adeleke presents gifts to people and the family at large, Abi always used this as an advantage to ridicule and mark preys for bully.

Unfortunately; this one was not going to be the same as the family choosed Erica to do that, so that she would be accustomed with the family culture and tradition. This made the family had Erica wear the regalia that had always been worn by Abi for so long. Abi was the second person to wear that regalia after Aunt Tumi Mr. Jude Adeleke's junior sister. It pained Abi to see Erica in that apron so she had planned to deal with her; unknowing to her that Erica was a bone hard to crack. Been that, Eric and Erica were identical twin, who did things in common, it was hard to see Erica without her twin brother. Abi seeing them as oyinbo children (white kids) thought they had no strength so that did not bother her. When everyone got ready for service; the cars where ready to move and yet Abi wasn't dressed. In order to fulfil her plans she beckoned on Erica to help her get dressed. Everyone was amazed that Abi could politely ask someone for help for the first time in years. Erica politely accepted too, with an amazing smile that could melt even the heart of a giant but not the naughty Abi. On alighting from the car Eric followed suit promising to be a gently man. So the whole family waited in the car for them to get Abi dressed and join them.
Not quite long after they got into the house Abi dragged Erica by the hair causing her to fall, Erica fell but on standing up gave Abi a slap that restructured her sense of reasoning at that instant Abi was not just shocked; but was scared to continue with her plans. She quietly sat on her bed. But instead of working out of the room Erica got her dressed with the help of Eric her brother and gladly took her to the car giving her a steen warning not to try any other dirty move as what may come next would be too big for her to swallow.
