FEW DAYS LATER
David never gave up on Udoka. He made sure he wins her heart but she didn’t succumb to his sweet words until a very faithful evening. Both were found in a local stadium were David’s friend, Mike was playing a football match. Gentle wind took over the cloud thereby making the weather more romantic. One could see footballers in the field putting on pink and light-green sport wears. At one side of the field was an auditorium were fanz cheers their players up. The referee was on black short and black top with boots. His dressing had absolute comparison with his complexion. At another angle of the local stadium were Udoka and David seated under a tree which branch had withered and fallen down. David was on a jean trousers with shirt, while Udoka wore a black leggings with a white top. She had David’s phone in her hands while David placed his hand across her shoulder. He gradually took the phone from her to get her attention.

“What?” Udoka asked then looked at him.
“Nothing” David smiled.
“But you just collected the phone from me”
“Yes, to get your attention”
“Hmm..” Udoka smiled. “Please, give me the phone!” she struggled to get it by force but David raised it up making her to stand on her feet jumping and laughing to get it. David brought it down, then she grabbed it forcefully. Suddenly, she felt his hands wrapped round her waist. She looked at him to find out what was going on but found him staring at her romantically. Her body became weak with increase in heartbeat without knowing when the cell phone fell from her hand.

“David?” she called.
“What must i do to make u know that u have taking over my heart?” David began staring her eyes. “What i feel for u is greater than love. It has eaten deep into me that i can’t spend a moment without u. I love u so much, Udoka” he gradually disengaged his hands from her waist to her two cheeks then brought his head closer and kissed her! Udoka smiled and held his two arms.

“I love you too, David” she said.
“Yes!” David exclaimed. He carried her up and flung her around while she screamed in joy. Just then, Mike arrived sweating variously.
“What’s going on here?” he asked with a smile. However, Udoka had picked up the phone.

“Mehn I’m so happy. Is the match over?” David shook his hand.
“Yes, you were so carried away by your damsel that u couldn’t even notice it” Mark added then Udoka smiled.

:

Udoka headed to their house happily that evening. Likewise David who had told Mark everything on their way home. As a guyman, Mark knew how girls cluster around David, so he asked, “Are you sure u won’t break this girl’s heart?”

“No, i love her so much” David replied.
“What of Sandra?”
“Sandra is.. is my friend”
Mark smiled, “Okay” he concluded.

With the joy in Udoka’s heart, she opened their gate but couldn’t believe what she saw: her mother, sister and their properties were found outside..

Darkness began to take over the atmosphere. The joy in Udoka’s heart gradually dwindled when she entered their compound and her steps changed from fast to slow. She narrowed her vision to made sure that what she saw wasn’t a dream. She looked around the compound but saw nobody except her mother and sister who sat sadly with their properties outside. She slowly climbed the four stairs and asked, “Mother, what’s the meaning of this?” Nobody responded rather the mother began to shed tears. “Mother talk to me! Monica..” Udoka turned to her sister. “..what’s wrong?”
“The landlord came with some boys and sent us parking” Monica replied.
“What?! He should have waited till tomorrow! Where are we to sleep tonight?” Udoka lamented bitterly. “What’s all this for goodness sake!” her voice began to break thereby stimulating her tears glands. Already, Monica had started crying just like her mother. Their sadness remained static for some times before the mother stood up. She adjusted her wrapper, dried her tears then walked down the stairs.

“To where are u going, mother?” Udoka asked.

“To the church. Let me see if we can spend the night there before traveling to the village” the mother replied.

“Village?”
“Yes”
“You mean my father’s village?” Monica interfered sitting very close to Udoka but the mother disdained her without replying then continued walking. After she left, the twins looked at each other and averted their eyes.
“Are we going to live in the village? This is serious!” Monica said.

Udoka remained quiet thinking of her job, David and her education most importantly. “How can i leave all this behind?” she thought and hissed frustratingly.
:
Before Trust and Sunny returned to the compound hopping to see one of the twins as usual, Mrs Williams and the children had gone with their properties. So they stood before their room staring at the door.
“Where is this troublesome girl?” Sunny asked with hands on his waist.
“The compound just dey quiet. Where is my Monica” Trust also asked. Hearing that, Sunny disdained him.

“Who said that Monica is yours?”
“Shut up! Why are you asking about the other one.. what’s her name again..” Trust scratched his head to remember. “..yes, Udoka! Isn’t it because u miss her?”
“Over my dead body will a miss that girl” Sunny opposed seriously. “But e get the way that girl dey do me for body” he brought down his voice with a smile. “Chai!!” he exclaimed and touched his d!ck through his trouser.

“Now, have u seen the reason why you will miss her?”

“Yes oh” Sunny replied imagining Udoka’s round butt.
“Did you just say yes?” Trust asked to confirmed before Sunny came back to his sense.

“No, never! I will not miss her” he concluded and hurried to their room while Trust laughed seriously.

11:05pm
David couldn’t sleep with the joy in him. He stayed awake smiling and thinking about Udoka. The way he felt cannot be comprehended by any person unless you are swimming in the pools of true love.
On the other hand, Udoka stayed awake thinking about David too but wasn’t looking happy. She felt that her first love and relationship was about to crash, therefore, she began to miss David already. She regrated not having a cell phone and belonging to a rich family. At a corner inside the church where they la!d, no light could be seen. Darkness covered the building. Meanwhile, Monica and her mother had slept. Just as Udoka remained awake thinking, she heard her sister murmuring and shaking her legs; she was dreaming again..

Everything inside the dark forest became more scary
