The Darkest Hour - Season 1 - Episode 25

**
AT JUMBOSCO FEDERAL UNIVERSITY
Sandra’s apartment had the same design with that of David’s: The location of the bed and wardrobe. The only thing odd was a table full of make-up materials, books and papers. Under the wardrobe were bags full of clothes excluding the ones on the wardrobe.

Sandra angrily threw her hand-bag on the bed. As if that wasn’t enough, she pulled off her shoes. She could her splash of water from the bathroom- that was her roommate Elizabeth. She sat on the edge of the bed with a hand on her forehead. She had tried David’s number severally but not reachable. Suddenly, Elizabeth came out from the bathroom with a brown towel tied round her chest. She had a fat beautiful body with dimples.

“Babe, what’s it?”
“Nothing” Sandra crumbled.
“Obviously there is something” Elizabeth untied the towel. One could see her butt looking attractive. It seemed to have dimples too. No hair was found on her erogenous zone.

“It seems like David has a girlfriend that i don’t know” Sandra looked up.
“Is that why you want to kill yourself? Girl wake up. I don’t know you as someone who can be stocked in the name of love”
“You won’t understand how i feel whenever I’m with David unlike other men i meet”

“Where is he now?”
“I heard he traveled to the village to see a girl”

“But this David has not make any relationship propor..”
“That’s it!” Sandra interrupted and stood up angrily. “I have waited for so long for that to happen! Should i be the one to do that?!”
“We are in a modern and civilized world” Elizabeth concluded leaving Sandra in a deep thought.

Back to Eziukwu land, Faith had gone home leaving the twins with their visitor. Udoka made David sit on a long bench at the frontage. She also sat beside him while Monica remained inside.
“I came all the way from school to see you coz i miss..”
“I miss you too” Udoka interrupted unabashedly with a smile. “I thought i will not see u again”
“That will never happen” David brought out the cell phone again. “Please, take it so as not to miss you too much. We need communication”
Udoka stared at the cell phone then shook her head negatively. Just then, Monica came out with a plate of food.

“This is for sending food and drinks to me weeks ago” she placed it before David who smiled. Even Udoka couldn’t help it.
“How about your mother?”
“She isn’t around” replied Udoka.
Monica sighted out then saw their mother coming. “Here she comes” she said then all stared at Mrs Williams.
There was an eye contact between Udoka and her sister when they sighted their mother coming. As usual, they began to memorize their lies in ascending order. David had no idea what was going through their minds. Therefore he kept smiling coz he was pleased to see madam Rose whom his grandmother had told him about.
“Welcome, mother” Monica carried a basket of food stuffs from her mother into the house.
“Welcome, mother” Udoka stood up with David who also greeted.
“Thank you my son” Mrs Williams responded. “But who are..”
“Mother, he’s David my friend. He came from the city to see me” Udoka interrupted.
“Really?” the mother turned to David. “Who are your parents?”
“Mr and Mrs Robinson, ma’am” David replied.
“From where?”
“Ndiogoro village”
Hearing that, Mrs Williams glanced at Udoka in a way that shows: NDIOGORO AGAIN?! But she didn’t show it rather covered it with a gambit smile to David.
“Enjoy your food my son”
“Thank you, ma’am” David sat down in a gallantry manner while Mrs Williams entered. Udoka also sat down then gave David auspicious smiles.

“You’ve been hiding something from me” David broke the silence.
“What?” asked Udoka.
“You told me you’re a native of Ndiogoro but here you are in Eziukwu. Why?”
“Can we not talk about it please?”
“That’s what u always say”
Udoka opened the food for him in order to stop the conversation. With happiness David consumed the food. He spent enough time before going back. Mr Williams and Monica wished him safe journey as he left with Udoka. However, he had given her his number again since she refused to collect the phone.
They got to where they had to depart then Udoka’s mood changed. She couldn’t let go remembering the nature of her backaground and the future plans she wanted to achieve but her present status tied her down. She bit her fingernail with her face down.

“Hey..” David took off the hand from her mouth then she looked up. Tears had already engulfed her eyes. “What’s it?”
“David, i want to be like you” the tears finally dropped from Udoka’s eyes. “I want to be in school and also achieve my own dreams”
Seeing the tears, David embraced her. “Everything will be fine and u will also go back to your father’s land”
Udoka disengaged herself. “What do you mean?”
“Are u surprise? I already know what you have refused to tell me”
“How?”
“My grandmother has told me all. Your mother’s name is Rose..” David paused. He dried her tears and consoled her again. “Be strong, we gonna win this battle coz you’re coming back to your father’s land, our land. Do you hear me?”

Udoka nodded her head positively hearing the words of encouragement. She quickly hugged him then reluctantly left.
