episode 25
There was an expression of surprise
on Mrs Williams face. She waited for
the doctor to repeat his statement
coz she couldn't believe he was
talking about Udoka, her daughter
whom she trained to be responsible
at all times. She nurtured her
children to the core even when they
were nothing.
The doctor leaned back on his seat
to see her reaction.
"Doctor, did just say three weeks
pregnant?" Mrs Williams asked.
"Yes" the doctor replied.
Mrs Williams gazed at a spot then
gave the doctor a confidential smile.
"Thank you very much" she stood
up and went outside. She told
Monica and others about the current
state of health of Udoka but never
mentioned the pregnancy part of it.
Nurses were still wandering about
rushing in and out of each ward
when Mrs Williams reached her bag
then said to Monica, "I want to see
you at your apartment"
"Okay, mother" Monica replied while
Faith and Adaku looked at each other
in a way that shows: THERE IS
SOMETHING WRONG.
However, Ernest had called David
and Mike. He told them about the
incidence but only Mike gave a
listening ear. David didn't care rather
shouted at Ernest for calling him.
Nevertheless, Mrs Williams got to
her daughters' apartment. She kept
her bag without smiling and sat on
one of the couches while the three
girls sat opposite her with Monica in
between.
"I thank God my daughter, Udoka, is
fine" Mrs Williams began. "But there
is something that baffles me now
which i know one of you must
know about it"
The three girls glanced at each other
speechlessly then Mrs Williams said,
"Udoka is three weeks pregnant. Tell
me about it Monica"
"Pregnant?" Monica voiced out
amazingly. "Mother, i have no idea
about that"
"You mean you have been with
your sister and you don't know that
she's pregnant! I guess you won't
know who is responsible for it too"
"Who else except David?"
"David?"
"Yes, mother"
"I thought he was a responsible
young man. Well, i blame my
daughter for being so weak to be
deceived. I want to speak with that
David" Mrs Williams demanded.
Adaku and Faith were still quiet
when Monica looked at them coz
they knew what was on ground:
David and Udoka weren't in good
terms for a reason nobody knows.
How they wish Mrs Williams would
understand that.
"Call David on the phone!!" Mrs
Williams shrieked.
"Yes, mother" Monica stood up
swiftly. She remembered that her
phone crashed then took Udoka's
which the policemen handed to her
at the hospital.
Meanwhile, Mr Robinson had called
David on the phone telling him to
came home base on what Ugonma
told him.
Monica called the number severally
but David didn't pick up.
"Mother, he's not picking up" she
said.
"What nonsense!" Mrs Williams
stood up. "Take me to his house or
lodge wherever he is now!" she
glanced at her wrist watch: 2:10pm.
**
At David's apartment, Mike
witnessed him gone to their house
after he told him to go see Udoka
first but he refused. As he was about
leaving the apartment, Sandra
arrived still on mini skirt.
"Have you heard?" Mike began.
"Udoka is dead, right?" Sandra
replied then Mike looked at her
suspiciously.
"Are you the one who sent the gun
men to kill her?"
"Please, spare me that" Sandra
walked towards the door. She
pushed and knock on it but found it
locked.
"David is not in. He has gone home"
Mike told her.
"Why?"
"The father called him"
Sandra brought out her phone to call
David but Mike's voice prevented her
saying, "Udoka is not dead"
Sandra quickly looked at him for a
while then asked, "How do you
know?"
"I won't say any other thing"
"Why?"
"You know what to do"
Sandra reached her bag and brought
out huge amount of money. She
handed it to Mike who collected it
smiling.
"Udoka survived the bullets. She's
presently at Fumbi hospital. Ernest
told me" Mike reported.
Sandra's face was filled with
surprises. She couldn't believe it! Her
next plan was to kill Udoka by herself
coz she knew the consequences if
Udoka lives to see the sun set the
next. As she wanted to step out
angrily, a range rover car arrived.
Both stared at it until Mrs Williams
and Monica came out of it. When
Monica saw Sandra, she disdained
her.
"Good day, ma'am" Mike greeted.
"Your faces look familiar" Mrs
Williams went closer to Sandra.
"You are.."
"Sandra" Sandra interrupted.
"Oh, you are the Sandra"
"Yes"
"I want to see David"
"He has gone home" Mike interfered
then Mrs Williams turned.
"You know the way to their house,
right?"
"Yes, Ma'am" Mike replied.
"Take us there now" Mrs Williams
stepped out followed by Monica and
Mike.
"I hope there is no problem" Sandra
asked from behind.
"It's none of your business" Monica
retorted then the mother looked at
Sandra steadily then moved
forward. They entered the car and
drove away. Sandra also entered her
car briskly and drove out. On her
way, she called the assassins again..
