David kept smiling as Udoka sang
along with the music by a purpolar
Nigerian artist, Davido. Something
was strange: why did Udoka
suddenly forget about Mrs
Robinson's accusation and reactions
towards her and became extremely
happy within a twinkle of an eye?
David couldn't figure out the answer
to that question. As he kept glancing
at udoka with a smile, he also began
to forget about his mother's
troubles. Udoka raised her two
hands in the air and shook her body
romantically to the music. "..money
fall on me, banana fall on me.." she
kept singing. It got to an extent
David was moved by the music and
the romantic voice of Udoka, so he
also joined her.

7:30pm
At the twins resident, the gate
opened and the ray of light from
Udoka's car shone on the building
thereby reflecting on the window
glasses. Seeing that, Adaku and Faith
came out in bumshort. The light
reflected on their smiling faces then
David, the driver, smiled too. He put
the car to a stop, came out, opened
the next door for Udoka and kissed
her.
"Hmmm!!" Adaku and Faith made an
amusing sound smiling seriously.
Udoka wanted to handle David's
jacket back to him but he rejected it
saying, "You can keep it"
"For real?"
"Yeah"
"Thanks" Udoka kissed him again
and wanted to walk away but David
waved the car key to her in a way
for her to take it along. "No, drive
yourself to the campus, I'll pick it up
tomorrow when i come to school"
Udoka added.
"Alright" David waved at the two
girls who reciprocated before he
drove out. The three girls watched
him until the car vanished before all
entered simultaneously.
"Madam, Udoka.." Adaku began. She
was standing while Udoka and Faith
were sitting looking at her. "Now, tell
me, when are we going for the
wedding?" Adaku placed her hand
on the waist staring at Udoka who
glanced at Faith surprisingly.
"Whose wedding?" Udoka
questioned.
"Your wedding of course"
"Lekwanum aya!" Udoka exclaimed
in igbo language.
However, Faith had been giggling
without saying a word.
"I know David must have proposed
to you" Adaku continued. "Because
the kind of happy both of you are
today has no comparison"
"Abeg, let me pass!" Udoka stood
up. "No be only wedding and
proposal. We shall be having our
Child's dedication tomorrow" she
added then Faith burst out laughing
while Adaku giggle and sat beside
her. When Udoka got to the door of
their room, she turned and asked,
"Where is my sister?"
"I have used her for rituals" Adaku
replied.
Udoka stared at her with a smile
then entered into the room to see
Monica sleeping. That was unusual.
Monica hardly sleep at that time
except something strange was about
to happen or happened to her.
Therefore, Udoka stared at her
steadily then her mind went to
Sandra immediately.

9:10pm
David had told Mike how their
journey went. Both laid on the bed
face-up wearing only boxers. The
room was totally dark. Just their
voices could be heard.
"It seems like you don't like Udoka"
David began. "You prefer Sandra to
her. Why?"
"You surprise me" Mike turned
facing David in the darkness.
"Sandra is your class, not Udoka.
Though I'm not saying she's a bad
girl, but if i were in your shoes
which i will never be coz I'm not a
lover boy, i will choose Sandra"
David smiled. He knew Mike very
well to be straight and choose girls
without having any feelings for any.
"Have you experienced love before?"
he asked.
"I dey craz?" Mike retorted.
"Then shut your mouth coz if you
fall in love, you'll definitely be in my
shoes. Try to develop feelings for a
single girl"
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir" Mike replied
while David giggled. Just then, his
cell phone bling thereby illuminating
the room with it's light. He picked it
and glanced at the message from
Udoka which read thus: SOMETIMES
SOMETHING SOMEWHERE HAPPENS
FOR A REMEMBRANCE. NEVER
FORGET TODAY MY LOVE.
David became confuse finding it
difficult to decode the message.
:
On the other hand, Udoka heard his
phone bling too after some minutes.
She opened a message which came
from David thus: TOGETHER, WE
SHALL REMEMBER TODAY MY LOVE.
Udoka smiled then laid to sleep.
Would that be her last happiest day
and moment? All that happened, did
it happen because she wasn't gonna
see the rising sun the next day? Why
did Monica fall into an unusual sleep?
Something was strange and fishy.

12midnight
Now comes the darkest hour Sandra
and Kate had been preparing for a
whole week. For one to prepare for
a journey using the whole week
shows the gravity and powerful of
the journey. The two girls were on
black attire inside a car running like
never before. The tires of the car
experienced a different rotation
because Kate was the driver. The
road was lonely and dark with the
chirping sound of crickets. Where
they were going to was something
Sandra couldn't write home about.
They got to a particular place then
Kate pulled over. They stepped
down standing beside each other.
When Kate saw Sandra shaking, she
said, "Put yourself together. Are you
ready?"
