THE DARKEST HOUR (Cry of an angel) Season 2 Episode 9

Udoka drew closer to the boys. She didn't bother to climb the verander rather stood beside her car. One could see a ring made of diamond on her second finger after the thumb. The way the boys looked at her got her worried added to the absence of David among them.
"Good day" Udoka greeted.
"Welcome, Udoka" Ernest replied Simultaneously with Mike.
"Please, i want to see David?"
"He just left to their house few minutes ago" Ernest replied.
Udoka became disappointed then bent down her head. To make the issue worst, Mike added saying, "He left with Sandra"
"Sandra?" Udoka raised her head.
"Yes"
Meanwhile, Ernest had disdained Mike in a way that shows: WHO ASKED YOU?
"O-ok-okay" Udoka stammered. She gently turned into her car and drove off. As she drove, tears ran down her eyes.

At the resident of the twins, Monica, Faith and Adaku were in the sittingroom. Only Monica was standing. She regrated treating her sister the way she did. However, Faith had told them Udoka's story including the sex part.
"You know all this but u never bother to tell me!" Monica shrieked.
"There was no time for that" Faith replied.
"You see ehn" Adaku stood up and clapped her hands angrily. "If my hands don't touch that girl, Sandra she won't mind her business. Look at what she has caused. I must make sure i.." the crack of the door interrupted her. All looked at the door to see Udoka sluggishly coming in. From her expression, one could deduce that she had a broken heart. She flung her car key on the centre table. "Hi" she managed to say with a very low voice then entered into her room. None of the girls replied her rather Faith and Adaku gave Monica a sign to go meet her again.

Udoka was undressing facing the wardrobe when Monica entered. She knew it was her but didn't bother to look back.
"Udoka?" Monica called. She gently moved closer without Udoka responding. "I heard what happened and I'm sorry for the way i reacted" she finally met her from behind, yet Udoka didn't turn but stood still reflecting on how her relationship crashed. Therefore she began to shed tears again. Monica could hear her sniffing in tears so she gradually turned her around and embraced her which increased the rate of the tears. "Is okay" she consoled her.
"Monica, i don't know what to do" Udoka cried on her sister's shoulder. She disengaged herself and said sadly as she walked to the bed, "The worst part of it is that David had gone to see her sick sister with Sandra which both of us planned to go together"
"You worry yourself too much about this David!" Monica sat beside her.
"You don't know how i feel"
"You have to put yourself together" Monica began to dry her tears.

Ugonma, David's sister had a fair complexion, a bit fat and meek in heart. She doesn't like to stress herself or want anything that would disturb her life. She was the gentle and emotional type. Already, before the operation took place, she nearly cried out her eyes. "Please, i want to see my brother David!!" she had cried before the operation. Now, she was at home lying in her room. One could see her scattered golden hair and a plaster on her appendix region. When she heard her brother's voice from outside, she smiled. There was another female voice she heard which obviously wasn't her mother's, so she wondered who that could be.
Outside the house after Sandra and David came down from the car, Mrs Robinson embraced them. She neglected David and concentrated on Sandra.
"My daughter, you look so big and rich these days"
"Thank you, ma'am" Sandra giggled.
"Where is Ugonma?" David asked.
"In her room" the mother replied. So David entered leaving the two women to act their drama.
"By the way, whose car is this?" Mrs Robinson was still inquisitive.
"Is my friend's car, ma'am. Please, let's go and see..."
"Ugonma?"
"Yes, Ugonma" Sandra walked in with Mrs Robinson.
:
David gradually opened Ugonma's room. Both looked at each other and smiled. It had been long they saw each other. David squat beside her and grabbed her hand.
"Thank God you are okay"
"Thank God i have seen you again" Ugonma squeezed his hand tightly. "Don't tell me you came empty handed oh"
"No, we didn't" David replied.
"We?"
"Yes, Sandra is coming with the stuffs"
"Who's Sandra?"
Before David answered, Sandra walked in with two bags. Her shoes made simultaneous sound with her steps. Just then, David stood up then she stood beside him.
"She's Sandra, my friend" David introduced.
"Welcome" Ugonma stared at her strangely.
"Thank you. We heard about your illness that's why we came to visit" Sandra placed the bags beside the bed smiling. "They are for you" she said.
"Thank you very much" Ugonma smiled too.
David left both of them to his mother. He found her in the kitchen preparing lunch.
"Mum" David began. "Where is Dad?"
"He's at work" the mother replied.
"Why did you tell me to come with Sandra, a girl you barely know?"
"Don't be silly. I know her. We chatted a lot the last time we met"
Hearing that, David became surprise...
