Season 2
episode 30
.
Mr Caleb was quite an old man with
grey hair both on the head and jaw.
As a title man, he had a red cap on
his head and a walking stick in his
hand. He couldn't bear the death of
his only daughter, Sandra. He wept
bitterly in the police station with
nobody consoling him. However,
Faith, Monica and Ernest had
followed Mrs Williams and Adaku
who had already gone outside. Mr
and Mrs Robinson also rushed out
just to see Mrs Williams entering into
her car.
"Excuse me, Madam" Mr Robinson
called her attention. "We need to
discuss"
"Let's do at my daughter's
apartment coz my house is a bit far
from here. Enter into the car" Mrs
Williams replied then they entered.
Monica and others used a different
car. Inside the car, their mouth
couldn't shut for just a minutes
especially Adaku's.
"How can Mike betray his best friend
for goodness sake?!" Adaku began.
"I knew there was something hidden
about him. He must suffer!"
"That isn't the problem now" Ernest
began too. "The problem now is that
nobody knows where David is since
yesterday"
"I thought as much" Faith also
began. "Why would David behave
the way he did to the extent of
breaking up with Udoka?"
"How i wish i knew he was being
controlled by a charm. People are
wicked" Monica concluded calmly.
***
At the twins apartment, Mr and Mrs
Robinson and their daughter,
Ugonma, sat on the same couch
while Mrs Williams and Monica sat
together too. Others were absent.
"Now we know the truth" Mr
Robinson began. "I apologise for my
son's behaviour. I was so blind to
notice that he was being controlled
by a charmed. His behaviour was
unusual! He didn't behave as
responsible as i trained him to be!"
"I thought as much too" Mrs
Williams said. "The first and second
time i met him, he was quite a good
person. We should leave that for
now. Let's see how we shall fine
him" she added.
"Please, i have a confession to make"
Mrs Robinson leaned forward then
all eyes went to her especially her
husband. "First, let me apologise to
you, madam for being rude the
other day you visited. I once
accused and treated your daughter,
Udoka, badly when he visited simply
because i didn't want my son to
have anything to do with her. I
wanted him to marry Sandra coz i
made a promise to her father years
ago that my son will marry his
daughter someday not knowing that
the Sandra of a girl was a devil
herself! Biko, forgive me"
"Heey, mum! You did all this?!"
Ugonma shouted.
Mr Robinson became speechless. He
suddenly averted his eyes from his
wife and hissed bitterly. "This
woman, you called Sandra a devil
not knowing that you are the chief
devil!" he said then looked at Mrs
Williams. "Forgive her my dear"
"Is okay" Mrs Williams replied. "The
apology if for Udoka not me" she
added. Suddenly, her cell phone
rang-that was the doctor who called.
He told her that Udoka had woken
up, so all rushed to the hospital.
***
Inside the hospital, all rounded
Udoka's bed smiling. Ernest, Faith
and Adaku weren't present. Even the
doctor couldn't help it but smile too.
Udoka eyes were totally opened but
didn't recover totally. She saw her
mother and sister then smiled. She
could recognize Mr and Mrs
Robinson even Ugonma who went
closer to her happily.
"Thank God you are awake" she
touched her hair. Seeing that, Monica
smiled happily. Udoka didn't say
anything but held Ugonma's hand
warmly. She looked at her mother
and called, "Mother?"
"Yes, darling" Mrs Williams replied.
"Where is David?"
The question rendered everybody
speechless, so they began to look at
one another. Ugonma, who was
squating down suddenly stood up
looking at her parents too. Udoka
detected confusion on their faces
then her heartbeat increased.
"Where is David. Somebody should
talk to me" her voice began to break.
"David is fine my dear" Mr Robinson
replied forcefully.
"Why do you even need him? Can
you recall what happened the last
time both of you met?" Monica
asked to know if that would
decrease her anxiety to see David.
Udoka remained quiet trying to
remember. Of course she
remembered how David treated and
broke up with her but she said, "I
don't care, i want to see him. Please,
bring David to me, abeg you,
mother" tears dropped from her
eyes.
"I think you people should let her be.
She needs a rest" the doctor said.
"Let me go get him my dear" Mrs
Williams replied as she was going
out with Mr and Mrs Robinson even
Ugonma. Only Monica was left in the
room. She sat close to her sister
with her hand on hers.
"Monica, tell me the truth, has
anything happened to David?" Udoka
asked again.
"No, David is fine" Monica replied.
"Then why is he not here?"
"I will explain everything to you later.
Just have a rest" Monica concluded.
:
Outside the hospital, Mr and Mrs
Robinson contemplated on how to
find David.
"Let's start with the police" Mrs
Williams suggested..
