Episode 2

Udoka unlocked the car with a remote. A red light shone at the
four corners of it with a beep sound. She bounced inside, put the
key in the ignition and reversed immediately. Meanwhile, the gate-
man had left the gate open, so she drove off. At the school gate,
the securities made way for her and she sped through. Dead
leaves on the road kept moving randomly due to the velocity of
the car. Students who hung around stared at the expensive car.
Some thought it was a lecturer's while those who knew Udoka
notice it was hers. Already, her fame had spread all over the state
and the country
at large through any available media due to the discovery of the
diamonds. Yet, not all knew her in the school. She applied a break
in front of David's apartment and the car pulled to a stop.
Inside the apartment, David laid on the bed face-up in a way his
legs touched the floor. Suddenly, Udoka knocked at the door and
opened it. Darkness which filled the room was subdued by a ray
of dim light from the window. David glanced at Udoka then stared
at the ceiling again.
"David?" Udoka closed the door behind her. She walked slowly to
the bed, pulled her shoes and sat beside David. "What's wrong?"
she asked touching his cheek
full of beards but David said
nothing. When the quietness lingered he said, "You never told me
you'll be visiting old friends"
"I'm sorry" Udoka adjusted closer. Her gown slightly pulled up
making her thighs visible. "I tried your number but it was
switched off"
"The battery is down"
"I thought as much"
Silence took over again. Now, Udoka laid down facing David with
her legs properly closed. She placed her hand on his stomach and
said, "Is that why you are upset?"
"I'm not upset" David replied.
"But you don't look okay! You are too dull!"
"Yes, Ugonma has just been admitted to a hospital"
"Your sister?"
"Yes, she needs an urgent operation"
"Appendix?!"
"Yes"
"Which hospital is she?"
"Federal Medical Centre far from here"
"We need to see her"
"Not today" David faced Udoka then smiled thereby stimulating a
smile on her face too. He rubbed her hair gently then kissed her. "I
miss you" he said.
"Just for few hours i left"
"It's like few years to me"
Udoka smiled, she kissed him too and said, "I miss you too."
They embraced each other.

Immediately Sunny returned home with Trust, he pushed their
door forcefully and began to pack his belongings. Trust became
amazed looking at him with his hands folded. He couldn't just
write home about on what he was witnessing.
"Sunny?" he called. "Where are you packing your things to?"
"To my village" Sunny replied without looking at him, rather was
busy putting his clothes inside a 'Ghana Must Go' bag.
"To do what?"
"Are u wise @all?" Sunny stood still with open eyes looking at
Trust. "Look at Udoka and Monica of yesterday are driving cars
living a good life all because their village has a dark forest that
multiplies diamonds. So I'm going to my
village to inquire whether we have a dark forest too.."
Trust burst out laughing uncontrollably. "Do you know that you're
the biggest fool on earth?"
"Thank you" Sunday hung the bag on his shoulder and moved
towards the door.
"Sunny, are you really going to the village?" Trust asked.
"Do i look like a clown to you? Even if our village doesn't have a
dark forest, it must have other treasures coz it seems like only in
the village such things can be found"
"So, u are leaving your job here in the city to the village insearch
of what i don't know. Think twice oh" Trust warned. He watched
Sunday leave the compound with his bag briskly. "What type of
human being is this?" he soliloquized surprisingly.

THE NEXT DAY
Sandra met David from behind in a lecture hall after a lecture.
Students troop out while some sat back just as David was seating.
He noticed Sandra's hands engulfed his shoulder but concentrated
on a book before him.
"I know you won't notice me" Sandra turned around and sat
beside him. "Maybe it's because I'm not Udoka" she added with a
frowned face.
"Don't bring her into this" David spoke up as he kept writing on
the book.
"Why do you reject me? Why do you hate me so much even
when i have given up everything just to please you. Am i not
beautiful enough? What must i do to win your heart? I have
tripped so low
regarding my pride as a woman to let you know how much i
love you which is African traditionally improper, yet, you can't
show me an atom of love. Well, i see, it's because Udoka is rich,
right?"
David stopped writing, he looked at Sandra without knowing the
appropriate words to answer all her questions. "I don't reject you,
i don't hate you, you are beautiful. Udoka's wealth has nothing to
do with my love for her"
"But i can't bear to see both of you together" Sandra placed a hand
on his shoulder. After there was no response, she left the hall
angrily..
