EXT. CAR PARK-DAWN
A TOYOTA CAMRY, 2017 slowly drives into the car park. Even at this time of the day, the park is swollen with people who are going about their business
INT. INSIDE A CAR-DAWN
MADAM JOHNSON and REMILEKUN JOHNSON sits inside the car and they both look gloomily. Madam Johnson is a fair, tall, chubbily black woman in her mid 6os while Remilekun is a dark, tall, slim black lady in her 20s. Remilekun unbuckles her seat belt and reaches for the door
REMILEKUN
Thank you grandma for the ride
MADAM JOHNSON
Remi wait
REMILEKUN
What is it?
MADAM JOHNSON
Won’t you change your mind about this?
REMILEKUN
Grandma, we have been over this like a billion times already. This is what I want and I need you to accept my decision
MADAM JOHNSON
What you have always wanted is to go to University of Ibadan, you have been singing it in a song since you were 10, you can’t just hop and leave because your father won’t do what you want
REMILEKUN
I don’t care what that man does anymore, he has set his own path. This is me setting my own path
MADAM JOHNSON
You don’t have to go Zaria to do this, you can do that here in Lagos with me. You can go to UI and stay with me doing the holidays, Remi you don’t have to go to Zaria to do this
REMILEKUN
I am trying to get my life back together Grandma, I don’t think staying in close proximity to my dad or anyone close to my dad will help me in doing that
MADAM JOHNSON
You can’t punish your father like this
REMILEKUN
Punishment? This is no punishment grandma (she gets emotionally) if we are talking about punishment, nothing will make me happier than seeing him in jail but instead he is happy living his brand new life. After everything that man has done, he gets to be happy and I hate the fact that he is happy, it displeases me greatly….moreover I am sure he is happy that I am out of his life
MADAM JOHNSON
He is not happy Remilekun, I know and I understand why you feel this way but he is your father, you are going to have to forgive him one day
Remi becomes angry
REMILEKUN
Forgive him you say? The man killed my mother, easy for you to say forgiveness because she is not your daughter
MADAM JOHNSON
That is not what I mean Remilekun
REMILEKUN
Can we not talk about my dad, I don’t plan on coming to this side of the country again which mean this might be the last time you will see me
MADAM JOHNSON
God forbid I wi….
REMILEKUN
What I am trying to say is that, I don’t want our last conversation to be an argument about my dad
She reaches out for Madam Johnson’s hand and hold it
REMILEKUN
I love you grandma
MADAM JOHNSON
I love you too
REMILEKUN
I promise to be at your funeral
MADAM JOHNSON
(In shock) Remilekun!
