Season 1
Episode 16
:
The expression on the faces of Trust and Sunday got David
worried. Though he knew that Udoka had left for the village coz
the manager of the Cyber Cafe had told him but he wanted to
verify. What he was seeing in the faces of the two men gave him
a sexism notification.
"Hum.. I hope no problem. I only want to know if actually Udoka
has gone to their village, nothing else" David sounded
conventionally.
"How do you know they have gone to the village?" Trust asked.
"That shouldn't be the question!" Sunny began with a high tone.
"You should be asking him how he knew Udoka!" he glared at
David. "So, you are one of those that molest young girls around"
"I beg your pardon!" David provoked. "With perturbation i asked a
moderate question that requires a fascinating answer not
molestation. Moreover, Udoka isn't a young girl that can be
molested so why taking me to be a pervert?"
Hearing the grammatical words, the two men went dumb.
"E be like say this boy go school oh" Trust voiced out.
"Who did you say is your father again?" asked Sunday.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Thanks" David turned to leave but
they called him back and apologised.
"We have not seen Udoka and her family for the past two days
now, and we don't know where they are" Sunday said.
"Udoka's manager said they left for the village due to a bankrupt"
David began.
"Bankrupt?" Trusted wanted to know the meaning.
"Yes, it simply means they couldn't pay up what they owe which
is their house rent. Please, do you know the name of their
village?"
"Yes, something.. Eziukwu" Sunny replied. "That's their mother's
hometown. I don't know of their father"
"I guess her father's is Ndiogoro" David thought for a while, while
the men looked surprise. "Well, thank you for the information" he
concluded and hurried out.
"Chei...!!" Trust shouted with hands on his head. "This boy seems
to know much about these people oh"
"When i tell you that girl Udoka is always up to something, believe
me!" Sunny concentrated on their puzzle game.

David hurried up to their house with the hope of traveling to either
Ndiogoro or Eziukwu in search of the girl he loves. He pushed the
parlour door opened
forcefully and hurried to his room without even checking whether
his parents were in the parlour as usual or not. He hung down his
bag, put his laptop inside and went to the wardrobe to pick out
few clothes but his door cracked opened. When he saw the
person that entered, his heart sank into his stomach. Therefore, he
slowed down but finally brought out the clothes.
"I never knew you are still around, Mum"
"What are you doing, David?" the mother left the door to the bed
where he was packing. She sat down.
"I'm traveling, mum"
"To where?"
"The village. I've decided to visit
grandmother"
"Are you sure coz this is an impromptu journey?"
"Yes, mum"
"Well, it's too late"
Hearing that, David stopped and looked at his mother. "What do
you mean?" he asked.
"I can't believe you are asking me that question. Don't you know
that your school has called off the strike? So you are leaving
tomorrow" the mother replied.
David remained disappointed. He wanted nothing but to see
Udoka. Now his plan was about to crash. "Mum, i can still travel
and come back today or tomorrow before going back to school"
he persisted.
"Do you think Ndiogoro is at your
doorstep? I'm suspecting you oh, you never liked going to the
village. Why all of a sudden.."
The sound of David's cell phone
interrupted Mrs Robinson-Sandra was calling....

Eziukwu and Ndiogoro aren't far from each other. But one needs
to cross several rivers before getting there on foot. With vehicles,
is faster and closer through a different route. In the land of
Eziukwu, Mrs Williams and her children had been making an effort
to adapt with the environment especially the twins who had left to
fetch water from
a stream. The stream had natural spring water running out from
rocks. Monica couldn't take off her eyes from it. Girls at their age
were there fetching water too. Some tied wrappers while some
wore local gowns. Only Monica and Udoka dressed like city girls.
They stood closely listening to the girls conversations as they
waited for their turn to fetch.
"Ndiogoro people will be having a festival in the next three market
days" Faith, a girl in a gown said. She's tall, slim and beautiful.
"Yes, and i will not miss it" Adaku, a girl in a wrapper replied. She
tied the wrapper in a way her attractive thighs were visible while
she was on black top. She had a slim body typology with
attractive hairstyle.
"I know u don't miss such things" Faith smiled. "We shall go
together oh"
"You are talking as if u don't like such thing too. Please, call me
when going oh" Adaku concluded.
"Can we go with you?" Monica interfered. The two girls
suspended what they were doing and stared at her, even Udoka..
