THE DARKEST HOUR (Cry of an angel)
Season 1
Episode 11

Silence lingered as Sunny expected
Udoka to approve his request at the
etrance of their compound.
Meanwhile, Udoka had positioned
her ears as if she didn't hear him
vividly. "Oga Sunny, what did you
just say?" she asked with anger.
"Are you still a baby?" Sunny replied
and drew closer to her. He looked
around again in the darkness then
lowered his voice. "You know say u
too fine. And the thing wey u give to
that young man, fit me too" he
added in pigin English.
Udoka stared at him for a while and
said, "You must be very stupid to
think I'm that kind of a person.
Nonsense!" she hissed, opened the
gate forcefully and walked inside.
One could see the bag in her hand
hit the gate and her butt shaking
rhythmically with her steps.
"My goodness!" Sunny exclaimed
and looked at himself. "Am i as
stupid as this girl said?" he asked
then also entered.
:
Inside the room, Mrs Williams sat on
the bed still with the plate of food in
her hands while Monica sat on the
cushion when Udoka walked in. Her
heart skipped when she saw her
mother, therefore, she stood a step
away from the door and transferred
the bag to another hand. Monica
glanced at the bag and stared at her,
likewise the mother.
"Goo.. goo.. good evening, mother"
Udoka stammered.
"Evening" the mother replied. "Your
sister said you went to buy
something"
Hearing that, the twins glanced at
each other then Monica bent her
head down praying that her lies
shouldn't be exposed. Even Udoka
understood that she lied in order to
cover her up. Therefore, she
stammered again, "Ye.. ye.. yes,
mother, i went to buy something"
"What's that?" the mother was still
inquisitive.
"Food and drink"
"Who gave you money for that?"
"Hum.. mother?" Udoka transferred
the bag to another hand again
thinking of what to say. However,
Monica's heart had been beating as if
it would jump out from her body in
no time. The twins had never lied to
their mother before not to talk of
when it concerns a date or
relationship issues with a man.
"I said who gave you the money?!"
the mother repeated in a higher
tone.
"Monica gave me the money" Udoka
replied then her sister's heart
jumped as she stared at Udoka,
while the mother stared at her.
"Monica, where did you get such
amount of money from?" the
mother asked.
"Mother, is my savings from my
customers who leave their change
for me" Monica replied.
"Really?"
"Yes"
The mother looked at Udoka again
and said, "Why would you buy food
with the money when there is food
at home?"
"Hum..."
"There was no food that time"
Monica interrupted her sister as a
way to defend her again.
"Is okay, enjoy yourselves" the
mother stood up and began to
change up while Udoka and Monica
exhaled silently in relieve.

David sluggishly came out from the
car after he got home. He wasn't
looking happy because Udoka
turned him down. With the
sluggishness, he entered and found
his parents in the sittingroom. They
were sitting on one couch as
husband and wife they are. David
greeted them without a smile and
headed to his room.
"David!" the mum called.
"Yes, mum!" David's voice echoed
from his room. He collapsed on the
bed and face up in a way his legs
were still touching the ground.
Suddenly, the mum bagged in.
"David, where have u been?"
"I went out with my friends, mum"
"Who are they?"
"Oooh, mum not again!" David
shouted exhaustively. "I'm not in the
mood for your insatiable factitious
inquisition"
"My God!" the mum exclaimed. "Am
i the one you are speaking grammar
for?" she added. When David
refused to continued the
conversation, she went out.
Immediately after that, his phone
rang then he picked.
"Are you still driving?" Sandra's
voice sounded on the phone.
"No" David grumbled.
"Then why haven't you called?"
"I'm just coming in now"
"Is okay, baby. Your voice doesn't
sound good" Sandra's voice became
romantic.
"It's a personal problem"
"Share it with me. You know i love
you. Your problem is my problem"
David smiled unwillingly. He knew
that Sandra was just exhibiting
school-life character and her
character too. She is the type that
say her mind but had found it
difficult to proclaim her love to David
rather moving indirectly.
The phone call lasted very long but
at the end, David never told her the
reasons. His mind went back to
Udoka instantly after the call.
**
The twins where found outside in
front of their house with the bag of
food. Though it was dark but they
could see each other.
"You nearly put me into trouble!"
Monica began then Udoka laughed.
"I know you are very good at lying
that's why i shifted everything to
you telling mother that u gave me
the money"
"Are you calling me a liar?"
"No oh! We are all liars" Udoka
answered and they laughed. She
handed the bag to her sister who
became surprise. "David said is
yours" she added.
"Who's David?" Monica asked as she
was bringing out the food and
drinks.
"The one that took me out today"
"Hmm.. So how did it go?" Monica
asked again then Udoka's mind went
back to David..
