.
Total silence took over after Mr
Robinson addressed his wife
intrasitively for exhibiting an attitude
of intrigue. Therefore she remained
dumb staring at her husband while
David felt the intricacy of the
tranquility.
"I'm sorry my husband" was the
reply from Mrs Robinson thereby
breaking the silence but her husband
didn't say anything rather averted
his eyes from her.
Already, Ugonma had noticed how
scared Udoka was then she
suspended what she was doing and
said, "You seem scared of
something"
Udoka smiled at her in a factitious
manner. She concentrated again, yet
said nothing.
"I know it has to do with my
mother's presence" Ugonma
continued. "Don't be scared, you'll
be use to her character"
Just as Ugonma finished talking, Mrs
Robinson opened the kitchen
forcefully thereby startling Udoka to
the extent she nearly hurt herself
with a knife she was holding. There
were two gas cookers in the kitchen,
a sink with a running tap and one
electric cooker that had an oven at
it's base. The walls of the kitchen had
white ties which brightness
illuminated the more due to a light
from an electric white bulb.
"Welcome, mum" Ugonma greeted
smiling at her mother who stood at
the door still with a hand on the
doorknob. Udoka was the next
person to her. She stared at her
maliciously without responding to
her daughter's greetings.
"Good evening, ma'am" Udoka
greeted her too, yet she said
nothing.
"Mummy, we are greeting you!"
Ugonma shrieked then held her
stomach coz the shouted affected
her wound. Instantly, Udoka turned
and held her in a way to reduce the
pains.
"What have you done to my
daughter?!" Mrs Robinson rushed
inside. "Get your hands off her!" she
pushed Udoka away. Meanwhile,
Ugonma had started coughing
staggering with her mother towards
the door. When David and the father
heard their voices, they ran to the
kitchen just to see Udoka standing
alone from behind.
"What's the problem?" Mr Robinson
queried.
"Asked the girl David came here
with" the wife replied then the two
men stared at Udoka who shook her
head negatively and said, "I did
nothing, sir"
Without saying a word, Mr
Robinson left the kitchen angrily to
his room while the wife took
Ugonma to her room. Only David
stood back still looking at Udoka
whose eyes engulfed with tears.
"David, i didn't do anything" the
tears finally dropped. "We greeted
your mother but she refuse to
answer. Therefore Ugonma
shouted, probably forgetting that
she's not yet strong enough which
resulted to this. To my surprise,
your mother accused me to be the
cause"
"Is okay" David dried her tears. As
both went out from the kitchen, they
bumped on Mrs Robinson who
came out from Ugonma's room.
She stared at both of them then
pushed forward.
"Mum, why are you behaving like
this?" David interrupted her.
"David, ongini?" the mother turned.
"Can't you see that this girl is a bad
luck?"
Hearing that, Udoka entered into the
room to change up.
"Stop calling her names, mum!"
David shouted. "Accusing her
wrongly is enough already! What
has she done to you?!"
"Are you shouting at me, David?"
"What's the noise all about?" Mr
Robinson came out. Nobody told the
wife to enter into her room while
David remaind standing staring at
his father. Just then, Udoka came out
walking towards the door.
"Williams" Mr Robinson called her by
her surname. She turned as she
dried her tears with a handkerchief.
"I'm sorry, sir but i have to go"
"I'm sorry too my daughter. My
wife could be mean sometimes. I'll
like to see you again" Mr Robinson
said.
Udoka nodded her head then walked
out before David sat down with his
father. He told him all that Udoka told
him then left too.

Inside the car, as David drove faster
going back to school, Udoka didn't
say a word. There is nothing David
did not say or do to make her talk
but she never opened her mouth.
After an hour, Udoka slept off with
her head rested on the seat but it
kept dangling off from it. Her skirt
slightly opened from her thighs and
breast stood firm. Seeing that, David
pulled over. He bent the seat she
was sitting in a horizontal manner
and covered her up with his jacket.
He romantically slid her hair
backward, kissed her on the
forehead and drove off again. Just
before they got to school, Udoka
woke up. She found herself covered
up and her seat lying horizontally
then she set it vertical again. To
David's surprise, she looked at him
with a smile and said, "Thank you.
Your wife will enjoy you"
"Why? Am i a plate of food?" David
asked smiling back at her.
"Don't you know?"
"Then eat me"
"You think i can't eat you, abi" Udoka
grabbed his neck and began to kiss
him while David giggled.
"I'm driving oh!" he shouted under
his breath then pulled over instantly,
yet Udoka was still kissing him
which he reciprocated fully and
surprisingly. Udoka quit the kiss
looked into his eyes and said, "I love
you so much"
"I love you more dear" David
replied.
"Oya, take me home"
"Yes, ma!" David drove off while
udoka slot in Davido's music and
sang along with him..
