Udoka paused when she saw Monica's mood to be dull but suddenly moved to her bag to bring out dirty clothes. One could see her round butt in a bomshort and also the shape of her pant as she bent down. "What are you thinking about?" she asked selecting the clothes without standing straight or looking back at her sister.
Monica exhaled on the edge of the bed and said, "I had a disturbing dream last night"
"Nightmare?"
"No"
"So what's it all about?" Udoka asked still without looking back.
"Hum.. It was more like a reality. I can't really tell" Monica untied a wrapper she covered her body with. One could also see her in a bomshort and top. Her nipples were seen clearly through it.
"I'm listening" Udoka's voice sounded.
"I saw myself in a dark bush" Monica began. "And in a short while, i saw a bright light coming out from the ground. As i wanted to go check what it was, a man told me that it's a secret of the unknown"
Udoka turned in a way she faced her sister with clothes in her hands. "Did you see the face of the man?" she asked.
"Hum.. No" Monica replied while Udoka headed to the door without saying anything. "Well, won't you say something?"
"What do you want me to say other than your dream is as a result of maleria" Udoka replied then Monica smiled coz she knew her sister to be like that.

10:30am
As Monica was taking her breakfast sitting on the long cushion, so as Udoka was dressing up. After she was done, she went to her bag and picked a file containing her O-level criteria.
"Where are you going to?" Monica asked her.
"To look for a job" she replied.
"A job? Without telling mother?"
"I will tell her"
"What type of job?"
"Any type apart from hawking a plantain" Udoka walked to the door and eventually went out.

In a cyber caffe were young people operating computers while some stood or sat beside the operators. There was a long table divided in shelves where the computers were placed. Each operator sat in each of them. And among them was David who held a paper in his hand staring at the computer screen with all enthusiasm. His caved punk hairstyle looked smart giving him an admirable handsomeness. He wore a red jacket that had a zip from it's base to the collar region. Suddenly, Udoka entered through the door wearing a black elastic tight gown that stopped before her knees, so she dragged it downward. She didn't know who to talk to about her job request coz the place seemed strange to her.
"Hey, how can we be of help?" a male voice asked her then many boys looked at her, even David. Udoka's eyes caught with his' and many other boys which whipped out words from her mouth.
"Hum.. I'm.. i.. i want to see the manager" she stammered.
"Over here!" the manger shouted from inner part of the room. David glanced at Udoka again as she walked to the manager..

Back to the resident of Mrs Williams, Monica had told her mother about her sister's way about when she came back.
"That girl.. well, let's see the news she'll come back with" the mother said bringing out food stuffs from the bag she came back with sitting on the bed while Monica on the cushion. Silence took over. Mrs Williams saw her daughter deep in thought so she asked, "What troubles you, Monica?"
"Mother, why have you refused to take us to our father's village?" Monica questioned but the mother kept quiet. "For the fact that we barely know our father, why can't we know his land and interact with his relatives, our uncles?!"
"Of course i have told you the name of the village" the mother replied.
"Yes, but you've refused to take us there. Why?"
"Monica, don't disturb me"
"Mother, are you hiding something from us?"
Hearing that, Mrs Williams stared at her daughter but never said a word.
"We are adults now, mother. And i had a dream last night" Monica added.
"What dream?" the mother asked...

Udoka began to walk out of the cyber caffe happily coz she had officially been offered a service job. But she stopped at the door listening to two girls discussing about their father's village. Since she knew nothing about her own father's land, she became jealous. "Mother has always refused to take us to our father's village" she thought.
"You block the exit" a male voice came from behind thereby bringing her back to senses-that was David.
"I'm sorry" Udoka gave way for him.
"Are you okay?" David wanted to know.
"I'm fine, thank you" Udoka began walk towards the door while David followed her.
"I didn't mean to upset you"
"I'm not upset"
"Well, have a nice day" David concluded but Udoka said nothing. She stood by the road waiting for a cab while David walked down. He sometimes glanced back to behold her beauty which Udoka also noticed.

Immediately Monica finished telling her mother about her dream, Udoka bagged in. She dropped her file forcefully and sat beside her sister.
"Udoka, what?"
"Mother, tell us why u don't want to take us to our father's land" Udoka told her mother angrily..
