The Darkest Hour - Season 2 - Episode 20

Udoka didn’t respond to Mr Robinson’s condolences but kept smiling. Her heart never departed from the wife whom she didn’t know how she would react if she
sees her.

“Have a seat” Mr Robinson told Udoka.
“Thanks” she replied and sat down with David.

“Dad” David began. “Sorry u weren’t able to meet me at home the last time i came?”

“Yeah, your mother told me about it and also the girl you came with”
Hearing that, David and Udoka glanced at each other.

“Where is she?” David queried.
“She went to her mother’s in her
hometown, Ndiuko” the father replied. “Though she’ll be back before evening” he added. Just then, Udoka’s heartbeat increased.
“Well, we came to see Ugonma” David stood up. He stretched his hand for Udoka who grabbed it as she stood up too.
“Okay” The father concentrated on the news paper again.
:
Ugonma sat on a chair with a book when she heard a knock at the door. She wore a loosed transparent pink gown. She had managed to weave her hair thereby exposing her real beauty.
Just as she stared at the door, it gently opened. “David!” she stood up and hugged him. She looked at Udoka who stood behind and said, “I guess she’s Udoka”
“Yes, she is” David stepped aside smiling. His sister looked at him in a way that shows: YOU HAVE EYES.
“Please to meet u, Udoka” Ugonma gave her a quick hug.
“Please to meet u too” Udoka smiled.
“Come in and make yourself
comfortable”
“Thanks”
As the two girls moved to the inner part of the room, David excused himself. He went back to his father who had always encourage him as a father. When he noticed David’s presence, he closed the news paper again.
“How are you coping with finals school activities?”

“Fine, Dad. I will almost be through before this year runs out”
“That’s good. I can see you have the spirit of becoming a man in you” the father smiled.
“Dad?” David smiled too. “I’m already a man”
“No, son. You can’t stay under this roof then call yourself a man. Moreover you’ve not given me a grandson. Why i said you have the spirit of becoming a man is because you’ve started bringing
women home”
David couldn’t help it but laugh out loud. His father never ceased to amaze him and he had always been in support of whatever he does that is of good as a boy at the right time.
“So son..” the father continued. “Which of these girls can make you the man you want to become?”
“Dad, all girls can make a man a man” David replied.

“Yes, but definitely, you aren’t gonna marry all the girls, are you?”
“Of course not” David kept smiling.
“So, who’s the girl among all the girls?”
“Is a secret, Dad”
“I see! My son is now has a secret” they laughed.

Mrs Robinson was on her way back from Ndiuko. She had met Mr Caleb, Sandra’s father, who she told how accidentally she came in contact with his daughter.
“Now you can see what i told you years ago is about to happen. David, my son, found your daughter and that’s a good sign that they will be together. I’ll make sure of that” Mrs Robinson had told Mr Caleb.
Back to David’s resident, Udoka had presented gifts to Ugonma and interacted with her too. It was such a perfect match coz both loved each other even before they met physically. They sat on the bed facing each other.
“There was a girl David came with the other time” Ugonma began.
“Sandra?” Udoka added.

“Yes, David told me how she threatened you. Never to worry. I know how to deal with people like her” Ugonma concluded
while Udoka smiled broadly. “Let me get to the kitchen to prepare something for you”
“No, u can’t” Udoka prevented.
“Why?”
“Coz you’re just recovering”
“And so what?”
“Okay, let me help you” Udoka stood up.
Without saying a word, Ugonma walked to the wardrobe, brought out a cloth and stretched it to her. “Change to this” she said.
With a smile, Udoka took the cloth and changed up immediately.
