BACK TO PRESENT
INT. INSIDE THE MARCOPOLO- MORNING
The Marco Polo moves fast on the expressway. Each passenger is doing their thing. Jamin still listening to music on his phone, Nimah still looking out of the Marco Polo, Femi pressing his phone, Cece working on her Laptop, Philip sleeping, Rhema reading a novel and Remilekun looking out of the window too. Rhema’s phone rings and she picks it up with a smile on her face.
RHEMA
Hello mom
Remilekun looks at her
RHEMA
Yes I am fine (pause, the looks around) we are about to enter Ibadan
She laughs out loud, Remilekun looks at her nostalgically
FLASHBACK
INT. INSIDE CAR- NIGHT
Selma Johnson drives the car while Remilekun sits next to her watching the rain as it falls on the window. Remilekun looks sad and angry at the same time, Selma looks at her
SELMA
Remilekun
No response
SELMA (CONT’D)
I did tell you not to put your mind to it
REMILEKUN
This is all your fault, I hope you know that
SELMA
What?
REMILEKUN
This is your fault
SELMA
How is your father not having time for you my fault?
Remilekun looks at her mom
REMILEKUN
He was going to come but maybe he decided not to come because he didn’t want to see you, because he does not love you
Selma looks shocked and hurt
SELMA
Remilekun!
REMILEKUN
It is not like I am lying
Selma looks around for place to park and when she sees a chance, she parks. Then she faces Remilekun
SELMA
How can you say that to me?
Remilekun raises her voice
REMILEKUN
I should be the one asking the questions Mom, how could you do this to me? I know you two had to marry because of your duties but how could you two have me? How could you two bring me into this loveless marriage?
Selma looks dumbfounded
SELMA
I have done everything for you, how can you say this to me
REMILEKUN
Apparently not, all I have ever wanted is to be with parents who love each other but that was the one thing you failed at. You failed at making him love you
Selma looks pissed and with anger, she slaps Remilekun hard on the face. Remilekun touches her face in surprise as she is not expecting the slap
SELMA
How dare you? How dare you talk to me that? I am the mother and you are the daughter here. Just because I give you the ground to be free with me, doesn’t mean you can talk to me the way you like. Whatever is happening between me and you father stays between me and your father, you have no business interfering in it
REMILEKUN
I hate you mom
Remilekun removes her seatbelt
SELMA
Where are you going?
REMILEKUN
Am going away from you
She opens the door and walks away in the rain. She hears her mom calling her name but she refuses to answer. Seconds later, she feels two hands pushing her to the ground and she hears someone cries in pain
**************************
I hope we are remembered that it is Remilekun's birthday, it seems her dad stood her up and she took it out on her mother .
Who pushed Remilekun out of the way? Who cried out in pain? Find out in the forthcoming episodes
