THE DARKEST HOUR (Cry of an angel) Season 1 Episode 11

David stood at the door looking at the four girls who where staring at him as if he was a stranger. All were in different dressing but only Udoka was in a bumbshort and a singlet-like top. There was no footwear on her feet. One could see her toe and fingernails painted with white cortex. As the eye contact lingered, the other three girls excused themselves without a word then Udoka who was seating gradually stood up twisting her fingers. "David?" she called out feeling her heartbeat. David was the last person she expected to see but it came to her as a surprise.
"Udoka" David also called out. He moved forward standing before her. "I still love you and will always do. I've not been myself ever since you left regardless the fact that i didn't pick up your calls. Please, have me back and forget about the consequences it might converge. I will protect and fight for your love to the last. You need not to be afraid of anything in as much as you have me and..."
"David" Udoka interrupted him with a warm hug. She held him tightly thereby amending her broken heart. Having someone whom she loved and took away her virginity back was the happiest moment in her life. Therefore, she said, "I will never leave you again"
David reciprocated with a smile. "Neither will i?" he said.
However, the three girls brought out their heads through the door of the room to know what was happening. When they saw David and Udoka in a hug posture, they smiled happily.
Udoka disengaged front David. She offered him a seat then also sat beside him. "How's your sister, Ugonma?" she asked.
"She's fine" David replied feeling guilty of not going with her as they planned. "Listen, i never planned to go home with Sandra, my mum did"
"Your mum?"
"Yes"
"Is okay" Udoka smiled. She didn't want anything to ruin the happy moment for her, so she stood up. "Let me get you something to eat" she began to walk out but David's voice interrupted the locomotion.
"She wants to see you"
Udoka turned in amazement. "Who wants to see me? Your mother?"
"No, my sister. I told her about us" David replied.
"Really?" Udoka smiled broadly. "I can't wait to see her too" she hurried into the kitchen.

THE NEXT DAY
Trust sat in front of his apartment eating bread and water. Suddenly, the compound gate slammed opened forcefully. He turned to see Sunday with his 'Ghana Must Go' running towards him, then he also ran into the room with the fear of the unknown. But he finally came out making sure the bread wasn't with him again.
"Sunny, watin dey pursue u?" Trust asked with pigin English.
"Guy, hunger is pursuing me" Sunny pulled down his bag on one of the stairs.
"How?"
"Hunger wants to kill me in the village"
"I thought you went to look for diamond"
"Dia what?!"
"Dia-mond"
"My village doesn't even have a dark forest not to talk of diamond" Sunny began bitterly. "Can you believe that i entered into one of our stupid forest with the hope of seeing 'dia' not to talk of 'mond', a very big snake pursued me!" With the fear of the snake, Sunny grabbed his bag. Before he could run into the room, Trust was already there with the same fear.

Before the day ran out, Sandra had noticed Udoka and David together but remained mute. She had been receiving money seriously from her 'Mugus' thereby looking more classic. She sat in her car which moved towards the school gate with Kate inside lamenting bitterly.
"I saw that girl again today with David! What nonsense?! Is time i show her my real colours!"
Just as Sandra lamented, they sighted Udoka's car coming from the opposite side. Therefore, she blocked her.
Udoka activated her car horn severally but there was no response. She was with the other three girls inside the car too.
"Who is this animal that is blocking us?" Adaku provoked.
Monica, who sat in the front seat looked at her sister, the driver, and said, "Take another roate"
Udoka wanted to do so but Sandra turned her stirring wheel towards the same direction. As they stared at the car, Sandra and Kate came out from it. Kate's dressing and complexion could give her the name, 'Black Witch.' She doesn't care or smile anyhow.
"So, is this witch, Sandra that's doing this. Who dashed her a car?" Adaku said again.
"Who's that girl with her?" Faith asked fearfully.
"Her partner in crime of course" Adaku replied.
Udoka glanced at her sister. She opened the driver's door likewise others and all came down. Nearby students kindly moved away from them after seeing their movements. Others, who were afar paid attention to them to see what would happened. That wasn't the first time such thing happened in the school and had always resulted to violence which was the last thing in Udoka's mind following her mother's advice.
"Sandra, why are you blocking my way?" Udoka asked standing a bit far from the two girls.
Without responding, Sandra drew very close to her leaving Kate behind. Nevertheless, Udoka didn't take a step backward, rather stared at her unabashedly..
