The Darkest Hour - Season 2 - Episode 45

Mrs Williams couldn’t bear the pains, so she walked out followed by Adaku..

Mr Caleb was quite an old man with grey hair both on the head and jaw. As a titled man, he had a red cap on his head and a walking stick in his hand. He couldn’t bear the death of his only daughter, Sandra. He wept bitterly in the police station with nobody consoling him. However, Faith, Monica and Ernest had followed Mrs Williams and Adaku who had already gone outside. Mr and Mrs Robinson also rushed out just to see Mrs Williams entering into her car.

“Excuse me, Madam” Mr Robinson called her attention. “We need to discuss”
“Let’s do at my daughter’s apartment coz my house is a bit far from here. Enter into the car” Mrs Williams replied then they entered. Monica and others used a different car. Inside the car, their
mouth couldn’t shut for just a minute especially Adaku’s.

“How can Mike betray his best friend for goodness sake?!” Adaku began. “I knew there was something hidden about him. He must suffer!”

“That isn’t the problem now” Ernest began too. “The problem now is that nobody knows where David is since yesterday”
“I thought as much” Faith also began. “Why would David behave the way he did to the extent of breaking up with Udoka?”

“How i wish i knew he was being
controlled by a charm. People are
wicked” Monica concluded calmly.

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.
