Two Worlds - Season 1 - Episode 71

A knock came. With closed eyes, she listened to the door’s squeak, and after its squeak, came footsteps that loomed nearer and ceased at her side. Mama’s touch ran from her shoulder to her spine and back to her shoulder.

“The truth would surface,” she said. “The devil doesn’t always win.”
The woman stood up and made for the door.
Ivie half-opened her eyes and watched the door close. Her lids, she drew together and allowed the darkness in them to be the only thing she saw.


It was not the only thing she saw. She saw Richard in the small witness box, his hairs all spiked out and his cheeks all blackened. She saw the judge reading from a pad, about to declare the verdict. She saw an image of herself in the middle of the courtroom. She opened eyes and rose from the bed, picked up her jacket and strode out of the room.
In the sitting room, mama lay on the sofa with her hands folded across her chest, puffing out the top of her breasts from her oversized body.

“Bu wa ki lu? Where are you going?” The woman rose.

“I’m going to Bakare’s house.” She buttoned her jacket.

“To go do what?”
“To talk to him.”
“He has just been discharged. I’m not sure he would want a talk.”

“He would have to talk.” She picked her purse from the couch’s arm.

“I will drive you there. I will not take time in re-dressing.”

“You should not go out for unnecessary reasons. I thought psychiatrists always say that.”

“This is necessary.” She hurried to her room.
