EXT. THE FOREST- AFTERNOON
Jamin and his sister sits under a big tree along with Rhema and Remilekun. Cece don’t not look happy all
CECE
I don’t think it is a good idea for us to stay here, if we move now, we can still catch up with driver
OBA-ABASS
And do what?
CECE
Walk with him to the main road and see if we can get a ride… this place is not safe
OBA-ABASS
Three things are going to happen if we do that
CECE
Which are?
OBA-ABASS
We slow the driver down, we don’t see a bus to carry all of us, thereby wasting our energy or we get robbed or kidnapped
CECE
And you don’t think that can happen here, look at where we are, we are surrounded by thick forest
OBA-ABASS
If I am to take my chance between going to the main road and waiting here for the driver, I will chose the latter
Oba-Abass walks towards the other under the big trees, Cece sighs deeply
CECE
Who exactly is the first person I saw this morning to bring me such bad luck?
She sees Femi looking around the Marco Polo and she walks towards him
CECE
You don’t give up, do you?
FEMI
No I don’t, giving up is for losers
FLASHBACK-FEMI-TWO YEARS AGO
INT. FEMI’S HOUSE IN LAGOS- AFTERNOON
Femi enters his bedroom, looking for his wife
FEMI
Babe.....Babe, where are you?
He got no response, he checks the bathroom and she was not there… He walks down the stairs to check her in the kitchen
FEMI (CONT’D)
Babe, where are you?
Then he sees her at the backyard through the kitchen window talking on the phone to someone, he moves closer walking silently trying to scare her. Rachel looks pissed as she is on the phone, then she shouts in a very loud voice
RACHEL
My husband cannot find out that I am the reason for his impotence
Femi stops on his path as the smile on his face disappears
RACHEL (CONT’D)
Obviously not enough, if you had acted like you cared, he won’t be looking for solution (pause) I am sorry, I know this is not your fault but this can destroy my marriage…. Please help me fix this
Femi looks very angry
FEMI
What is he fixing?
Rachel looks back and sees Femi. She looks so shocked as her phone drops from her hand and hits the floor
FEMI (CONT’D)
What are you fixing?
RACHEL
Femi
FEMI
So it was all you…. You are the one poisoning me with gandarusa
She chuckles uncomfortably
RACHEL
Femi what are you talking about?
Femi lunges at her and hold her neck in his hand, Rachel starts to shake
FEMI
If you don’t tell me the truth, I swear to God, I will kill you
Tears flows down her eyes
RACHEL
I am so sorry Femi
Femi looks devastated with the news, he releases her neck and he walks back as he holds his head
FEMI
Why?
RACHEL
What?
He shouts with rage as tears flows down his face
FEMI
Why will you do this to me?
RACHEL
I was at the peak of my career and you wanted children. There was nothing I could say to make you change your mind. I didn’t want to lose you and am sure as hell wasn’t willing to lose my career
FEMI
So you decided to make me impotence?
RACHEL
No that was not supposed to happened? When my brother gave me the drug
FEMI
Your brother? Your brother was in on this too
Rachel nods
FEMI
You and your brother decided to ruin my life together, so it was a planned work
RACHEL
I am so sorry Femi
FEMI
When happened when your brother gave you the drug?
RACHEL
He told me there was no side effect and when we were ready… when I was ready to have a child, it was just not working anymore. My brother said it must be because you used for a long time
FEMI
How long was it?
RACHEL
Four years
Femi looks very shocked
FEMI
Four years? Four year Rachel?
RACHEL
I am very very sorry
FEMI
You are a very wicked woman
RACHEL
I am very very sorry
She tries to touch him but he slaps her hand away
FEMI
Don’t fucking touch me
RACHEL
I am very sorry Femi, I deeply regret my actions
FEMI
Now I see the reason why you don’t want me going to any other fertility clinic apart from your brother’s. How can you do this to the man you claim to love…. How could you?
He goes back inside
RACHEL
Femi, Femi, I am so sorry
