THE DARKEST HOUR (Cry of an angel) Season 2 Episode 7

Back to the resident of the twins, Adaku and Faith rushed into their room just to see them trying to fight. That was unheard of in the history of the twins. They had always lived happily without a trace of violence but here they are fighting for a reason one cannot writ home about. Mrs Williams, their mother, kink and juxtaposed them not only to be responsible but also to be peaceful. Adaku dragged Monica backward while Faith held Udoka.
"What has come over both of you?!" Adaku shrieked. "As early as this, both of you saw nothing to do but to fight! What is the problem?"
None of the twins said a word. Tears could be seen running from their eyes. Instead of one of them to respond to the question, Monica left the room while Udoka disengaged from Faith. She sat back on the edge of the bed and placed a hand on her forehead emotionally. What or who could she think of? David, Sandra or her sister? How can all this problem be resolved?
Adaku went out to meet Monica while Faith sat beside Udoka.
"All this started yesterday after you came back from where nobody knows. Talk to me, what is the problem?" Faith asked again with calmed voice.
"I don't know what i have done or what to do, Faith" Udoka began to cry.
"What do you think you've done?"
"I think i broke up with David"
"What?! Why nah?"
Udoka waited a while before she told Faith all that happened the previous day at David's apartment, even the sex part of the story. "I didn't mean to shout at Monica, i was only angry" she added in conclusion.
"Oh, God!" Faith exclaimed without knowing what to say. "I don't think you did the right thing by breaking up with David"
"I'm afraid of what Sandra.."
"She dare not touch you" Faith interrupted.
Udoka gazed at her for a moment, she reached her cell phone then dialed her mother's number...

Adaku met Monica in the sittingroom where she was still shedding tears. She sat beside her gently and said, "I can't believe you could fight your sister. Me, i dey fight oh" she began with pigin English. "But i no fit see people wey dey fight then leave them. I must make sure i settle their matter. So please, no quarrel with your sister again"
Monica said nothing but began to dry her tears.
:
"Hello, mother" Udoka sounded on the phone as Faith stared at her. "Mother, can i visit you?"
"Why not?" Mrs Williams asked rhetorically. "Is everything alright?"
"I don't think so, mother"
"Please, come and see me" the line went dead.
Udoka stood to dress up. "I'm going to see my mother" she told Faith.
"Good idea" Faith walked out.

David stood at the varander of his apartment thinking critically why his mother wanted him to come home with Sandra of all people. He wore a pair of jean trouser with only a singlet. As he thought critically, Mike came out.
"Guy, what's the P"
David glanced at him. "I don't know what my mum is up to"
"What?"
"I planned to see my sick sister with Udoka whom i don't think i will still go with. But to my greatest surprise, my mum said that i should bring Sandra with me"
"What a world?" Mike smiled. "Just listen to your mum first" he patted his back and went back to the room.

12noon
Adaku and Faith had gone to lectures leaving the twins at home. As Udoka was preparing to go home, so as Monica was preparing to see Ernest as both agreed. They had not exchanged words after that incident. Monica was seen in the room making-up while Udoka just hung her bag to leave. She looked at her sister and said, "I'm going home to see mother"
Monica said nothing but concentrated on the mirror. After Udoka stared at her without getting a response, she headed to the door, clutched it's knob and looked at her sister again before going out. She stood in front of the house in her outmost beauty; a tight jean trousers and high heel shoes on her legs. Above was a handless blue top that stopped at her abdomen in a way it was slightly seen. A blue hand bag also hung on her elbow. She brought out a non-transparent eyeglasses, wore it and cat-walked to her car. "Open the gate" she ordered the gate-man.

After a particular lecture, David sat under a tree with Ernest whom he had told her mother's idea too. He called Sandra on the phone. After few minutes, she arrived looking more beautiful and a bit classic. She sat beside David while Ernest excused them.
"You sounded urgently on the phone. What's the matter?" Sandra asked.
David looked into her eyes. "You look different. Where have you been coz u didn't attend today's lecture"
"I went out with a friend"
"To where?"
Sandra couldn't answer the question. Therefore, she kept quiet.
"Well.." David began. "My mum wants me to bring you with me this weekend"
"Why?" Sandra enthusiastically queried.
"I don't know. My little sister is ill. When i planned to see her, my mum said i should come with you. I hope you'll go with me"
"Why not?" Sandra replied happily. But she suddenly asked, "What about Udoka?"
David stood up, dusted his butt and looked at her. "I don't want talk about it" he walked out..
