The Darkest Hour - Season 2 - Episode 43

**
At the twins apartment, Mr and Mrs Robinson and their daughter, Ugonma, sat on the same couch while Mrs Williams and Monica sat together too. Others were absent.
“Now we know the truth” Mr Robinson began. “I apologise for my son’s behaviour. I was so blind to notice that he was being controlled by a charmed. His behaviour was unusual! He didn’t behave as responsible as i trained him to be!”
“I thought as much too” Mrs Williams said. “The first and second time i met him, he was quite a good person. We should leave that for now. Let’s see how we can find him” she added.
“Please, i have a confession to make” Mrs Robinson leaned forward then all eyes went to her especially her husband. “First, let me apologise to you, madam for being rude the other day you visited. I once accused and treated your daughter, Udoka, badly when he visited simply because i didn’t want my son to have anything to do with her. I wanted
him to marry Sandra coz i made a
promise to her father years ago that my son will marry his daughter someday not knowing that the Sandra of a girl was a devil herself! Biko, forgive me”
“Heey, mum! You did all this?!” Ugonma shouted.

Mr Robinson became speechless. He suddenly averted his eyes from his wife and hissed bitterly. “This woman, you called Sandra a devil not knowing that you are the chief devil!” he said then looked at Mrs Williams. “Forgive her my
dear”

“Is okay” Mrs Williams replied. “The apology is for Udoka not me” she added. Suddenly, her cell phone rang-that was the doctor who called. He told her that Udoka had woken up, so all rushed to the hospital.

***

Inside the hospital, all rounded Udoka’s bed smiling. Ernest, Faith and Adaku weren’t present. Even the doctor couldn’t help it but smile too. Udoka eyes were totally opened but didn’t recover totally. She saw her mother and sister then smiled. She could recognize
Mr and Mrs Robinson even Ugonma who went closer to her happily.

“Thank God you are awake” she touched her hair. Seeing that, Monica smiled happily. Udoka didn’t say anything but held Ugonma’s hand warmly. She looked at her mother and called, “Mother?”
“Yes, darling” Mrs Williams replied.
“Where is David?”

The question rendered everybody
speechless, so they began to look at one another. Ugonma, who was squating down suddenly stood up looking at her parents too. Udoka detected confusion on their faces then her heartbeat increased.

“Where is David. Somebody should talk to me” her voice began to break.
“David is fine my dear” Mr Robinson replied forcefully.

“Why do you even need him? Can you recall what happened the last time both of you met?” Monica asked to know if that would decrease her anxiety to see David.
Udoka remained quiet trying to
remember. Of course she remembered how David treated and broke up with her but she said, “I don’t care, i want to
see him. Please, bring David to me, abeg you, mother” tears dropped from her eyes.
“I think you people should let her be. Shen needs a rest” the doctor said.

“Let me go get him my dear” Mrs
Williams replied as she was going out with Mr and Mrs Robinson even Ugonma. Only Monica was left in the room. She sat close to her sister with her hand on hers.
“Monica, tell me the truth, has anything happened to David?” Udoka asked again.
“No, David is fine” Monica replied.
“Then why is he not here?”
“I will explain everything to you later. Just have a rest” Monica concluded.

:

Outside the hospital, Mr and Mrs
Robinson contemplated on how to find David.
“Let’s start with the police” Mrs Williams suggested..

AT THE POLICE STATION 7:00PM
:
Nobody believed that someone like Sandra could take the life of her fellow girl. For what reason? The police, Mrs Williams and others were about to find out. They could see Sandra and Mike sitting on the floor with handcolfs.
“What’s Mike doing here?” Faith
murmured.
“Mike!” Ernest called out. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m innocent oh” Mike began. “I was on my own and they carried me!” he cried.
Hearing that, Sandra disdained him. Nobody talked to him again coz he was a suspect.
“I never knew you are so evil!” Mrs Williams said glaring at Sandra. “What did my daughter do to you that you wanted to take her life?”
The question made everywhere calm down coz all wanted to hear her out but Sandra kept quiet. She knew that even if she talks, she would still die coz her life span remained few hours.
“Speak!” a policeman shouted and hit her with the head of a gun but Sandra remained mute. The officer looked at Mike. “What relationship do you have with her and what do you know?” he asked.
“She’s just my friend. I don’t know
anything oh” Mike replied.
“You don’t want to say the truth” the officer wanted to hit him too but Mrs Williams prevented him.

“Retain them and make them speak before they are taken to court” she said then walked out followed by others.
