INT. STAIRWAY-ALMOST DAWN
FEMI, a tall, fair, skinny headed man in his early 40s walks down the stairs hurriedly with some paper in his hand. Two seconds later, RACHEL, a slim, fair, tall young lady walks down the stairs with him in a very angry mood. Femi walks to table where there is a briefcase and he puts the papers into it
RACHEL
I can’t believe you are doing this
FEMI
I don’t have time for your drama
RACHEL
What we need is time with each other, you leaving is not going to fix us
Femi keeps putting some documents into the brief case on the table without giving her response. Rachel’s expression softens and she puts her hands around him. Femi stiffens his body
RACHEL
Honey, please don’t go. I really want us to work
FEMI
Get your hands off me
She tightens her hands, Femi slaps her hands off in annoyance and he faces her with annoyance.
FEMI
I said I don’t have time for your drama
RACHEL
I thought you said you have forgiven me, isn’t that the reason why you came back
FEMI
I am trying to but each time I see you, everything you did to me just floods back and it hurts more, each time
RACHEL
And I have been saying sorry for over 2 years now
FEMI
Turns out your sorry can’t fix this
He zips his bag and start to walk away but she stops him
RACHEL
I am ready to do anything to take us back to how we were before, please stay. The kids are on holiday and they expect that you will be around to play with them, they need you, please don’t punish them for what I did
FEMI
Oh leave the kids out of this, they are my children and I will be the perfect father they need
RACHEL
Perfect father you say? Have you acted like a father to Adam? He is almost two and you have never carried him once, you don’t even know what his eyes looks like
She holds his hand
RACHEL (CONT'D)
I know it is my fault but for Adam’s sake, please don’t go
FEMI
I told you, I will be the perfect father my children need and when I say children, I mean the three of them
RACHEL
When will that happen?
FEMI
When am back from Zaria, until then be the perfect mother for
them
RACHEL
And me?
FEMI
I want to forgive you, really I want to but I can’t just bring myself to forgive you. You hurt me Rachel, you really hurt me
Tears gathers in her eyes
RACHEL
Femi!
FEMI
Zaria is a long place to go and I need to get here before night falls, please leave my way
He sees her in a shocking state and he gently pushes her away. He walks to the door and leaves

Like I said in the first episode, you need to read every episode to understand the story. If you miss one episode, there is a chance you will miss a very important part of our travellers' lives. Enjoy the story and I will talk to you on Monday with another angry character.
