Even as David chose not to respond to Sandra's question, she
persuaded him to tell her why he had to travel to the village.
Sandra is a social girl who gets what she wants from boys,
sexually, educationally and financially. Though such act is
regarded as prostitution but she called it School Runs. She never
knew she would be arrested by David's love. Therefore she was
ready to give up such act just to
win his heart. But David wasn't dancing to the tone of her music.
"Why did you travel to the village?" Sandra repeated the question.
"To see a friend" David responded.
"I guess she's a girl"
"Yes"
Sandra became not only jealous but also disappointed. She
wanted to make a move coz she wouldn't want anybody to come
between her and David. She adjusted closer to him on the edge of
the bed and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"David, it has been long we are friends. For all this while my
feelings for you have remained the same. I.. i.. i.. don.. don't
know how to put this. But.. I'm in love with you" Sandra's voice
changed
emotionally. Her hands became softer and heartbeat increased.
She romanced David and brought her head to kiss him. After she
succeeded, she gradually pulled him down on the bed. Already,
David's dick had erected and can visibly seen through his boxers.
Just as Sandra wanted to lay on him for further sexual act, he
rushed up instantly. Parasympathetic nervous system
activated in his body thereby decreasing the dick.
"No, i can't do this. I can't give you what you want. Don't
misunderstand me. I'm not talking about sex. I mean i can't bring
myself to love you" David responded in a hurry.
Sandra also stood up. "But why? I love you"
"I'm sorry, i don't"
"What is it that i don't have? Tell me, i promise you I'll get it. What
is it that you don't like in me? Tell me, i'll change for good. Please,
don't do this to me" Sandra moved forward.
"I'm already in love" David drew
backward.
"With who?"
"It doesn't matter"
Tears engulfed Sandra's eyes as she stared at David. It finally
dropped before she turned to the door.
"Sandra!" David called her. She looked back gently with tears in
her eyes. "I'm sorry"
Without responding, Sandra clutched the door knob then went
out.

Darkness had taken over. The
school, town, Ndiogoro and Eziukwu villages experienced its
gravity. The wind of the night gave a bad signal to everyone, even
Trust and Sunday. Emotional feelings were released to the
universe from different angles.
David and Mike laid on the bed quietly after a long discussion
about the visit to the village.
Mike located his wrist watch. He glanced at it then kept it.
"It's pass nine" he murmured to the hearing of David who stared
at the ceiling.
"I don't like the way i feel" David's voice sounded then tranquility
took over again.
:
Ernest, in his lodge where he stays alone released feelings to the
universe for the girl he hoped to see again. He sat on a chair with
a pen in his hand. Before him was a table full of books. What
could be
the strange feelings he had for the girl he met at the festival? He
couldn't figure it out. He glanced at the time of his phone: 9:30pm.
"Monica" was the last word that came out from his mouth.
:
It became obvious that Sunny missed the twins especially Udoka
regardless of the fact that they lived like cat and rat. He found
himself so worried about her that night. He glanced at Trust who
laid besid him asleep then averted his eyes. "Could it be that I'm
falling inlove with a troublesome, small Udoka or something
strange is about to happen to her?" he thought over the
unexpected and unusual feelings.
:
Elizabeth was fast asleep while Sandra was still awake thinking of
the guy who has taken her heart. She thought over the girl who
had gone ahead of her to capture David's heart but couldn't
conclude on a particular girl. Therefore, she decided not to ever
leave David. That was a night she felt emotionally. "This is
strange" she thought.
:
Back to Eziukwu village, Monica had fallen asleep while Udoka
remained awake thinking about David too. She had a feeling that
she was not going to see him again or rather, he would break
her heart. As she was having the strange feelings, Monica began
to soliloquize in bed and flinging her legs.
"Monica!" Udoka tapped her but she kept murmuring in a dream.
"Monica!" she hit her hardly before she woke up sweating
variously. Udoka noticed an atom of boldness in her unlike before.
Monica stood up in a hurry, picked up her jean trouser and began
to change.
"Where are u going to?" Udoka
surprisingly glanced at the wall clock: 10:15pm.
"It's time" Monica replied.
"For what?"
"I'm tired of this dream"
"I don't get u"
"I'm going to the dark forest of our land"
Udoka became speechless and glanced at the wall clock again. She
had never seen her sister so serious.
"Are you following me or not?" Monica asked...
