THE DARKEST HOUR (Cry of an angel) Season 2 Episode 13

Udoka didn't respond to Mr Robinson's condolences but kept smiling. Her heart never departed from the wife whom she didn't know how she would react if she sees her.
"Have a seat" Mr Robinson told Udoka.
"Thanks" she replied and sat down with David.
"Dad" David began. "Sorry you weren't able to meet me at home the last time i came?"
"Yeah, your mother told me about it and also the girl you came with"
Hearing that, David and Udoka glanced at each other.
"Where is she?" David queried.
"She went to her mother's in her hometown, Ndiuko" the father replied. "Though she'll be back before evening" he added. Just then, Udoka's heart began to beat faster.
"Well, we came to see Ugonma" David stood up. He stretched his hand to Udoka who grabbed it as she stood up too.
"She's in her room" The father said then concentrated on the news paper again.
:
Ugonma sat on a chair with a book when she heard a knock at the door. She wore a loosed transparent pink gown. She had managed to weave her hair thereby exposing her real beauty. Just as she stared at the door, it gently opened.
"David!" Ugonma stood up and hugged him. She looked at Udoka who stood behind him and said, "I guess she's Udoka"
"Yes, she is" David stepped aside smiling. His sister looked at him in a way that shows: YOU HAVE EYES.
"Please to meet you, Udoka" Ugonma gave her a quick hug.
"Please to meet you too" Udoka smiled.
"Come in and make yourself comfortable"
"Thanks"
As the two girls moved to the inner part of the room, David excused himself. He went back to his father in the sittingroom who had always encourage him as a father. Immediately he noticed David's presence, he closed the news paper again.
"How are you coping with finals school activities?"
"Fine, Dad. I will almost be through before this year runs out"
"That's good. I can see you have the spirit of becoming a man in you" the father smiled.
"Dad?" David smiled too. "I'm already a man"
"No, son. You can't stay under this roof then call yourself a man. Moreover you've not given me a grandson. Why i said you have the spirit of becoming a man is because you've started bringing women home"
David couldn't help it but to laugh out loud. His father never ceased to amaze him and he had always been in support of whatever he does that is of good as a boy at the right time.
"So son.." the father continued. "Which of these girls can make you the man you want to become?"
"Dad, all girls can make a man a man" David replied.
"Yes, but definitely you aren't gonna marry all the girls, are you?"
David kept smiling. "Of course not, Dad"
"So, who's the girl among all the girls?"
"Is a secret, Dad"
"I see! Secret man to be" they laughed.

Mrs Robinson was on her way back from Ndiuko. She had met Mr Caleb, Sandra's father, who she told how accidentally she came in contact with his daughter.
"Now you can see what i told you years ago is about to happen. David, my son, found your daughter and that's is a good sign that they will be together. I'll make sure of that" Mrs Robinson had told Mr Caleb who at the same time became happy.
Back to David's resident, Udoka had presented gifts to Ugonma and interacted with her too. It was such a perfect match coz both loved each other even before they met physically. They sat on the bed facing each other.
"There was a girl David came with the other time" Ugonma began.
"Sandra?" Udoka added.
"Yes, David told me how she threatened you. Never to worry. I know how to deal with people like her" Ugonma concluded while Udoka smiled broadly. "Let me get to the kitchen to prepare something for you"
"No, u can't" Udoka prevented.
"Why?"
"Coz you're just recovering"
"And so what?"
"Okay, let me help you" Udoka stood up. Without saying a word, Ugonma walked to the wardrobe, brought out a cloth and stretched it to her. "Change to this" she said.
With a smile, Udoka took the cloth and changed up immediately.
:
The two girls were in the kitchen while David and the father concentrated on a T.V. programme in the sittingroom. After few minutes Mrs Robinson arrived. She stared at the car packed outside beside her husband's thinking that it was Sandra's which activated a smile on her face. She tied two expensive wrappers traditionally with a voluminous head-tie. She hurried into the house just to see David and her husband.
"Welcome, mum" David greeted.
"David, you never told me you'll be coming home. I guess Sandra is inside" the mother said.
Hearing that, the husband glanced at her without a word.
"Mum, i didn't come with Sandra" David replied.
"Then who did you come with?"
"With Udoka"
"The twin?"
"Yes, mum. They are in the kitchen"
Instantly Mrs Robinson frowned. As she wanted to rush into the kitchen, her husband called her back saying, "Come back here, woman! So Sandra or whatsoever you call her is much more important than me that i can't even receive a greeting from you anymore, okwa ya"
Already, Udoka had heard their voices from the kitchen thereby increasing her heartbeat..
