The police carried out the search of David. Towards evening at Mr Robinson's house, the police arrived with the car David went out with. Ugonma and the mother were the first to come out before the man of the house. He stood on the pavement looking at the policemen and his car.
"Sir, i guess this is yours" an officer asked pointing at the blue Camry with black glasses.
"Yes, where did you find it?" Mr Robinson asked.
"Very far from this town. We saw it beside the road"
"What of my son?"
"We couldn't find him even after searching inside the bush beside the road"
Hearing that, Ugonma began to shed tears while the mother became hopeless. Just then, Mr Robinson narrowed his vision. He sighted David coming from afar.
"Is that not David?" he asked then everybody looked back.
"David!" Ugonma ran to meet him. She slightly dragged her skirt up to enable her run faster. She hugged David without minding how horrible he was smelling.
"What happened?" David asked.
"I should be asking you that" Ugonma said as they headed to the house. It was obvious that David had come back to his senses. He became surprise when he saw the policemen and their vehicle.
"Oh, my son!" the mother hugged him but his concentration was on his father who stared at him from the pavement.
"Dad, what happened to me?" David asked.
"We should be asking you that. Where have you been since yesterday?" the father threw vack the question.
"Since yesterday?" David looked around to remember. "I saw myself tied inside a forest" he began...

FLASH BACK
David was tied inside the dark forest of Ikuku on the stem of a tree. Immediately Sandra died, he regained himself. He looked around to see totems, caskets and tall trees. As he shouted, "Jesus!" the robe in which they tied him with cut off and the totems caught fire, even the tree! Then he took on his heels. It was obvious Ikuku wanted to use him as his servant..
:
CONTINUITY
"I spent hours locating the main road" David continued. "After i finally came out from the forest, i stopped a taxi, explained my conditions to the driver and he helped me. That's how i got home. How did i get to the forest, Dad?" David asked.
"Come my son" the father opened his hands then David found refuge in them.
After an hour, they set to Fumbi hospital. Meanwhile, Mr Robinson had called Mrs Williams. He told her that his son had been found and his story too. Mrs Williams broadcasted the news to Monica and her friend. Yet, David had not been told what happened to him.
"Where are we going, Dad? And why have any of you refused to tell me what happened to me?" David asked inside the car.
"Don't worry, you will know everything, son" the father replied.
**
At Fumbi hospital, David was going inside with his parents and sister wondering what they were doing in the hospital. When they opened the room Udoka laid, he saw Mrs Williams and his friends except Mike. His eyes caught with Udoka's instantly.
"David?" Udoka called.
"Udoka" David went closer to her slowly. "What happened to you?"
"Are you still mad at me?" Udoka ignored the question.
"Was i mad at you?"
"You broke up with me" Udoka's voice began to break.
"I did?" David became confuse. Both looked at their parents and asked at the same time, "What's going on?"
"It's a long story my children" Mrs Williams began. She told Udoka how Sandra wanted to kill her and eventually died. She also told David how Mike poisoned his food and developed hatrate for Udoka. She never omitted the pregnancy part.
David and Udoka stared at each other speechlessly after the long story.
"That explained why i found myself in the forest.." David said.
"Wait" Udoka interrupted. "I'm pregnant?" she asked surprisingly.
"Yes, three weeks old. And who is responsible for it?" Mrs Williams wasn't smiling again.
Udoka's heartbeat changed. "I'm so sorry, mother" she said bitterly.
"That's not the answer to my question, Udoka"
"I'm responsible" David answered then all stared at him. He looked at Udoka, "Yes, I'm responsible" he added and looked at his parents too. "Please, I'm sorry" he said.
Udoka became surprise likewise everybody in the room. Their face began to brighten up gradually. Just then, the door cracked opened. Guess who? Sunny and Trust!
"Oga Sunny!" Udoka called smiling. "What are you guys doing here?"
"I called them" Monica replied.
"Oh, my darling, Udoka" Trust said going to touch her but Sunday dragged him back.
"Who is your darling?" he glared at him.
"You have started again"
"Look at your darling that side" Sunday pointed at Monica"
"Oga, Sunny mind yourself oh" Monica frowned but one could trace a smile on her face.
"Abeg, let us greet our darling, Udoka" Sunny and Trust went closer and hugged her while all giggled at their funny drama.
:
A year after Udoka delivered a set of twin-boys, she got married to David. While Mike remained in the police cell for 12 months before he was bailed.
