BACK TO PRESENT
INT. INSIDE MARCO POLO- MORNING
Femi come back to reality when Cece and Oba-Abass comes in
FEMI
That was hot
CECE
I needed to put them in their place
OBA-ABASS
And she did
FEMI
What did they want?
OBA-ABASS
Apparently, the money the driver gave them is too small. They wanted more
CECE
And they ended up not getting any
FEMI
Oh really?
CECE
It is an embarrassment if I am in this bus and do nothing when the driver is getting ripped off
FEMI
(Chuckles) hatta girl
Cece walks back to her seat and continue her work on her laptop as the Marco Polo roars back to life and they continue their journey to Zaria
FLASHBACK-CECE- FIVE YEARS AGO
INT- CECE’S LIVING ROOM- EVENING
CECE sits in her scattered living room, she looks lost as she sits on the round glass table in the middle of her living room. TANYA, a short, fair, well dressed woman in her early thirties walks into the room with confusion written all over her face
TANYA
What happened here?
CECE
I was robbed
TANYA
Have you called the police?
CECE
What is the point in that when I know the culprit already?
TANYA
Who is it?
CECE
My boyfriend or should I called him my ex-boyfriend now
TANYA
That bastard, I am so sorry about this, I introduced him to you
Cece burst into loud laughter and Tanya looks confused
TANYA (CONT’D)
I don’t see this as something you should laugh about
CECE
Oh it is, compared to my previous relationships, this is the longest, eight months… oh except for seven years with Michael
TANYA
We will keep trying and trust me, you will find the person
CECE
I am done
TANYA
What?
CECE
I didn’t call you here to give me pep talk, call Caleb and inform him of the situation. I want that bastard found and thrown in jail
She picks her bag from the table and stands up
CECE (CONT’D)
I can’t exactly expect my stolen properties to still be that thief’s care, so please replace all the gadgets that were stolen
Cece starts to walk away
TANYA
You can’t because of one failed relationship decide to give up on finding love
Cece stops walking and faces Tanya
CECE
One failed relationship you say
Tanya looks down, Cece starts to talk in an angry loud voice
CECE (CONT’D)
Seven years ago when Michael broke up with me, I thought the reason why he didn’t stay with me was because he was chasing his dreams, then I decided to date a man that is made and he cheated me. I dated another man that is ten years younger than me thinking that I can make him a man that will stay with me, he cheated on me too. I dated a rich business man, three months into the relationship, he was arrested by EFCC for money laundering. I dated a poor man, turns out he was trying to scam me of my money. I dated another rich man and he was a mummy’s boy who does everything his mother asked of him, literally everything she ask him to do. Want me to keep giving the detailed accounts of my relationship disasters?
TANYA
I know about what you have been through emotionally, I was with you throughout
CECE
Yes, you were and am still amazed that you are still asking me to find love
TANYA
Yes and that is because I believe that the man for you is still out here. I believe everything that you are passing though right now are just life lessons that are preparing you for the relationship with your own man
CECE
You are right about that
Tanya smiles
CECE
But about the life lessons though, they are life lessons that just made me realised that no man will ever stay with me
TANYA
What?
CECE
Rich, Poor, Handsome, Ugly, Old, Young, no man is might to be with me because I don’t need them
TANYA
That was not what I meant
CECE
That does not matter, I got the lesson that I should stop wasting my precious time on building useless relationships and focus on the most important part of my life, my career
TANYA
That was no the life lesson I was talking about
CECE
Like I said, it does not matter because I don’t care
Tanya wants to talk but Cece raises her finger up
CECE (CONT’D)
Not a word more from you, you are my secretary not my mother
Cece walks away
