Season 2
Episode 8
:
Mrs Williams' resident was a storey building-the one in town. It
had a fence. Though the fence wasn't high but had an electrified
wire. The wire rested on metals which cross sectional area had an
arrow shape and enabled one see the external part of the building.
It also had a black gate. Tunde, the gate-man, laid on a bench
when he heard the horn of Udoka's car. He stood up, looked
through the small gate first before opening the big one. Udoka
drove in. She parked the car beside her mother's in the garage.
"Welcome, madam!" Tunde waved at her smiling.
"Hi, Tunde" Udoka smiled at him too.
"I'm fine, madam"
Udoka hurried into the house to the first floor through a staircase.
There was nobody in the sittingroom but the television was on
broadcasting Africa Magic. She sat down, picked the remote and
lowered the volume. "Mother!" she called.
Mrs Williams came out from her room with hands on one of her
ears. She was battling with an ear-ring trying to fix it on her ear.
She dressed in a native attire. Though she was a woman in her
late forties but she looked younger like she was in her early
thirties. She finally hung the ring on her
ear and saw her daughter seated
haplessly on the couch.
"Udoka, what's the problem?"
"Nothing, mother" Udoka replied.
"It can't be nothing" the mother walked to her. She sat on the
hand-rest of the couch where Udoka also sat. She placed a
hand on her shoulder then persuaded her to talk.
"Mother?" Udoka began. "Is it good for someone to leave the
person she loves because of fear of the unknown?"
The mother reasoned the question. She could sense that her
daughter had been hurt emotionally, so she replied and said, "It
depends on the type of fear. But you shouldn't leave the one you
love because of external forces. You have to stick with him or her
no matter what. Unless the person in question doesn't deserve
your love or love you anymore"
"Mother, you know I'm in a relationship with.."
"David" the mother interrupted. "What has he done to you?"
"Nothing, mother. I broke up with him because of another girl
threatened me to leave him. But i still love him, mother. I don't
know what to do?" Udoka began
to cry...

Monica got to Ernest apartment. She wasn't looking happy as she
sat on the edge of the bed. She wore a skirt and a top.
"Hi, my angel" Ernest walked out. He sat beside her and placed a
hand on her shoulder. "The most beautiful girl in Jumbosco
institution especially when she frown!"
Ernest words made Monica begin to smile broadly. "Stop!" she
shouted.
"I thought you won't smile. How is your sister? I know she must
be very sad since yesterday"
Monica stared at Ernest surprisingly. "How do you know that?"
"She hasn't told you?"
"Told me what?"
"She broke up with David yesterday after Sandra found and
threatened her in his apartment"
"That explained why she shouted at me in such a manner" Monica
felt her sister's pain and felt guilty too for her actions towards her.
"She should have told me" she murmured.
"What happened?" Ernest asked.
"Never mind dear" Monica said then kissed him. "Oya, entertain
me" she concluded.
**
Mrs Williams consoled Udoka in her arms, dried her tears and
said, "You still love David, yet u broke up with him, why?"
"I'm scared of what Sandra might do to me" Udoka replied.
"Is the girl's name Sandra?"
"Yes"
"Alright, my advice to you is never allow the one who loves you
go, but not violently. Unless he doesn't deserve your love. Love
your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"
"Really?"
"Yes my dear"
"Thank you, mother" Udoka rested on her arms the more. She
decided to spend the night there and go back to David the next
day which was also weekend, apologize to him before they'll go
see Ugonma his sister. She called
David's number severally that night but he didn't pick up.

THE NEXT DAY
Sandra entered the campus with an infinity jeep. One of her
customers she called 'Mugu' bought it for her that same day.
Already, David had been waiting for her in front of his apartment.
Mike and Ernest were there too.
"Guy, are u sure of what you are about to do?" Ernest asked
David.
"I only want to please my mum" he replied.
"But i don't see anything wrong with Sandra" Mike interfered but
none of the boys replied him. Just than, Sandra arrived with the
car. She came out in a short skirt then the boys looked at one
another.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting" Sandra approached.
"Whose car is this?" David asked.
"It's my friend's. I brought it so we can use it for the journey"
Sandra lied to terminate more questions. "You can drive" she
threw the car key to David who reluctantly entered the car with
Sandra in the front seat. The other two boys watched them drove
off.
Meanwhile, Udoka was on her way coming with her car too. She
stopped in front of David's apartment then the boy looked at each
other..
