"She doesn't understand me, she loves her more." Dee said sitting in the car, staring out the window as Hakeem-A-Barber drove in silence.
Hakeem-A-Barber asked "What makes you think that?"
"She always gets her way, I'm sick of always coming second to mama" Dee said avoiding eye contact.
Hakeem-A-Barber looked at her angrily, with very little patience left, he blurted out, "Give your sister a chance, she deserves to be happy."
Dee stared blankly, allowing his words to echo in her head.
Hakeem-A-Barber continued, "I'm sorry to yell, but you had the privilege to get an education, your mama just wants her to have that feeling of pride and confidence that you have, by giving her a marriage gift."
After several minutes in complete silence, Dee finally makes eye contact, "Take me back"
"Why?" Hakeem-A-Barber asked curiously
"I should be happy and proud of my sister for her accomplishments, and engagement, she deserves the quits. I need to apologize."
"I'm proud of you" Hakeem-A-Barber
