Season 1
Episode 8
::
Trust and Sunny weren't clearly
visible until they approached closer
to the sight of the twins who
stopped conversing. When Sunny
saw them, he tapped Trust. "Get
ready to face trouble before you
sleep tonight" he said quietly.
"I don't understand you" Trust also
said.
"Aren't you seeing these girls
outside. Who knows what they are
up...?"
"We are up to nothing oga Sunny"
Udoka interrupted him. She had
been hearing them and exercising
patience until she couldn't bear it
anymore. Monica smiled coz she
loves such moment when they
exchange words.
"Come, between both of you, who
is Udoka?" Trust asked.
"Guy, do you have sense at all?"
Sunny quarreled him. "Do you need
a prophect to tell you that the
cockroache who just opened her
mouth now is Udoka?"
"Ehn.. Oga Sunny, what did you just
call me?" Udoka asked but he
ignored her and hurried towards his
apartment leaving Trust behind who
was smiling at Monica in a way that
shows: MY DARLING.
"Oga Sunny, you are worse than a
house fly!" Udoka shouted.
"Cheneke!" Sunny exclaimed and
turned back dramatically but Trust
withheld him.
"Guy, let this girl be" he said.
"No, this one pass me" Sunny
objected.
However, Udoka had stood up and
held her trouser is if she wanted to
fight. The paper containing David's
number fell from her without her
knowledge then Monica picked it.
"Did you just call me a house fly?"
Sunny began trying to disengage
from Trust.
"You started it oh" Udoka took a step
backward. "Why would u call me a
cockroache?"
"Oh, you want to fight me with your
tiny legs"
"Can you face me with your tiny
hands?" Udoka fired back.
Sunny finally disengaged from Trust
then she ran inside the house
smiling while Monica laughed
seriously. Even Trust couldn't help it.
Sunny turned back to his apartment
again and said, "This girl has bitten
more than she can chew"
"It's better oh! As for you, u have
nothing to bite talkless of chewing!"
Udoka's voice sounded from inside.
Sunny stopped again, glanced at
their door, shook his head and
continued walking. "Okay" he
concluded.
"Everytime trouble. Nawao!" Monica
exclaimed while standing up. "I have
told both of you to get married at
once" she dusted her buttocks and
went inside.
:
Few minutes later after the funny
drama which made the twins forget
their pains and sorrows, Mrs
Williams came back. Yet, Udoka had
no idea that she wasn't with the
paper again. All were on the bed but
only Monica laid down while Udoka
and their mother sat at the edge as
silence lingered.
"Mother, i don't like the way you
stay late at night these days" Udoka
broke the silence.
"I know both of you must be
worried" the mother began. "I'm
trying to find money to pay for the
house bill"
"But must it be at night, mother?"
Monica's voice sounded from
behind.
"That's when those i meet are
available. I'm sorry my children" the
mother apologised. The horn of
distance vehicles was heard at the
tranquility that took over the room.
Udoka felt their condition but didn't
want to bother about it. She stood
up to get food for her mother.

12midnight
Monica could be seen physically
trying to cry due to the dream she
was having. She was covered with a
wrapper lying face-up. Her legs
moved and hands touched on the
bed forcefully.
:
DREAM
Monica came closer to the bright
light in the Dark Forest. Her heart
beat continuously with the feelings
of happiness, fear and sorrows at
the same time. The rays of the
bright light shone on her face while
some reflected on tall trees. As she
bent down to touch the ground
where the light was coming from, a
voice came from behind saying,
"Monica.."
She turned sharply to see a man in a
shadow. She couldn't see his face
but had the feelings that he was her
late father. "Father?" she called.
"It's a secret" the voice said.
"What secret?"
"The unknown"
"Where am i?" Monica looked
around. She saw darkness and light
created by the one from the ground.
When she turned again to behold
the shadow, she saw nothing.
"Father? Father come back please"
she began to cry..
:
REALITY
"Father, father, father!" Monica
shouted thereby waking her sister
and mother up. She also sat up
breathing heavily.
"Monica ongini? What?" The mother
asked with sleepy eyes. Udoka said
nothing but stared at her to answer
the question. But Monica couldn't talk
rather cried uncontrollably. So the
mother brought her head closer to
her chest to dry her tears.
"Mother, I'm so scared" Monica said
in her arms.
"Is it still about the dark forest of a
thing?" Udoka asked then Monica
shook her head positively. Mrs
Williams and Udoka looked at each
other as if they had the same thing
in mind.
"Stop crying my child" the mother
consoled Monica.

D NEXT MORNING
David woke up with the thought of
Udoka and the number he gave to
her.
On the other hand, as Udoka began
to prepare for work, so as Monica.
Suddenly, she remembered the
number then stood still thinking
critically.
"Monica, have u seen the paper?"
Udoka asked..
