The Darkest Hour - Season 1 - Episode 26

:
Mrs Williams sat in the sittingroom when Udoka walked in. Already, Monica was sitting opposite her mother.

“Udoka, sit down” the mother instructed.
Udoka sat beside her sister. She had an idea of what her mother wanted to say but kept mute.

“I was once a young girl like you” the mother began. “I also know you’ve come of age to decide or do some certain things on ur own but I’m still your mother. You have to adhere to my orders and instructions. I don’t want to see you with that boy again”
Udoka and her sister looked at each other.
“Why mother?”

“I have said it and it must be like that”
“Because he’s from Ndiogoro, isn’t it?” Udoka queried the mother. “How can i be denied from going to my father’s land and also making a choice of friend? Mother you know i won’t adhere to this particular instruction”
“Shut up!” the mother rebuked her. “How dare you?!”

“What life do you want from me?!” Udoka stood up.

“Chineke!” the mother became amazed.
“Think of a life you are told where to go and who to associated with all because of what you don’t know anything about! I’ve been deprived of fatherly love, the love of my people, my father’s land! And now you want to deprive me of a friendly love too”
“What of motherly love which i give you!”
“Mother, that’s not the point!” Udoka shrieked bitterly.

“Udoka, is okay” Monica spoke up.
“Is not okay!” retorted Udoka. “Just leave me alone!” she ran to the backyard in tears.
Silence took over between Monica and her mother. She stood up and sat besid her mother. With a meek voice she said, “Mother, is they no way all this problems can be fixed so we can go back to our father’s land?”

The mother stood up, adjusted her wrapper then went out without responding. Then Monica became emotionally disappointed.

David went back to his grandmother who told him more about late Mr Williams before he went back to school. The first call he received was from Sandra. Mike had gone out, so he didn’t meet him in the lodge. Few minutes later, Sandra entered autocratically. She wore a short skirt that rendered her half naked. Even her voluminous breast battled with her bra. She gently sat down besid David with a frowned face. David wore a singlet and a boxers.

“You didn’t even bother to tell me you were traveling to the village”

“I’m sorry dear”
“Why did you travel?” Sandra questioned..
Even as David chose not to respond Sandra’s question, she persuaded him to tell her why he had to travel to the village without her concernt.
Sandra is a social girl who get what she wants from boys anytime. Both sexually, educationally and financially. Though such act is regarded as prostitution but she highlighted it to be called school Runs. She never knew she would be arrested by David’s love. Therefore she was ready to give up such act just to wins his heart but David wasn’t dancing to the tone of her music.
“Why did you travel to the village?” Sandra repeated the question.
“To see a friend” David responded.
“I guess she’s a girl”
“Yes”

Sandra became not only jealous but also disappointed. She wanted to make a move coz she wouldn’t want anybody to come between her and David. She adjusted closer to him on the edge of the bed and placed her hand on his shoulder.

“David, it has been long we are friends. For all this while my feelings for you have remained the same. I.. i.. i.. don.. don’t know how to put this. But.. I’m in love with you” Sandra’s voice changed emotionally. Her hands became softer and heartbeat increased. She romanced David and brought her head to kiss him. She succeeded in that then gradually pulled him down on the bed. Already, David’s d!ck had erected and can visibly seen through his boxers. Just as Sandra wanted to lay on him for further sexual act, he rushed up instantly.

Parasympathetic nervous system activated in his body then the d!ck collapsed.
“No, i can’t do this. I can’t give you what you want. Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not talking about sex. I mean i can’t bring myself to love you” David responded in a hurry.

Sandra also stood up. “But why? I love you”
“I’m sorry, i don’t”
“What is it that i don’t have? Tell me, i promise you I’ll get it. What is it that you don’t like in me? Tell me, i’ll change for good. Please, don’t do this to me” Sandra moved forward.
“I’m already in love” David drew backward.

“With who?”
“It doesn’t matter”
Tears engulfed Sandra’s eyes as she stared at David. It finally dropped before she turned to the door silently.

“Sandra!” David called her. She looked back gently with tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry”
Without responding, Sandra clutched the door knob then went out.
