Femi watch as Oba-Abass comfort Remilekun intensely
FLASHBACK-FEMI-TWO YEARS AGO
INT. INSIDE A SHOPPING MALL- UNKNOWN
Femi stands over a counter in a jewellery store waiting impatiently as he taps his hands. Selma walks into the store, smiling as she greets other that walk past her. Then she sees Femi standing over the counter, recognising him, she walks towards him with a huge smile on her face
SELMA JOHHSON
Hello
Femi looks back at her, trying to recognising her
SELMA JOHHSON
Oh, you don’t remember me. We meet about a week ago in this very store, I was the lady who admired your necklace and even wanted to buy it from you
Femi remembers her suddenly
FEMI
Oh I remember you now
SELMA JOHHSON
How are you? Did she like the necklace?
The little smile on his face goes away as the sale rep walks towards them and drops a long small box on the counter
SALE REP
I know you have made up your mind but are you sure you want to sell this necklace? I mean it is a beauty
Selma looks surprised
SELMA JOHHSON
You want to sell it?
Femi faces the Sales Rep
FEMI
Yes please
SALE REP
Damn....okay then I will do as you want
The Sales Rep picks the necklace to leave but Selma stops her
SELMA JOHHSON
Please leave that, I will call you later
The Sales Rep leaves the small box and walks away to attend to other customers. Selma looks at Femi with a questioning look
SELMA JOHHSON
Why?
Femi looks at her with so much pain in his eyes, seeing this look. Selma pick the necklace and drags Femi out of the jewellery store to sit on one of the seat inside the shopping mall
SELMA JOHHSON
What happened?
FEMI
She did something unspeakable
SELMA JOHHSON
May I ask what she did?
FEMI
Even mere thinking about it makes my heart aches, I can’t believe she will betray me like that
SELMA JOHHSON
When I saw you in that store last week, you look like a man who just fell in love even though you have been married for 12 years. Am sure because of the love you have for her, you will find a place in your heart to forgive her
FEMI
Don’t you understand, she hurt me, she has ruined me
SELMA JOHHSON
But you will have to forgive her, not for you two but for the children
FEMI
I don’t know about forgiveness, I am too hurt to even think about it
SELMA JOHHSON
How about fixing the damage she made?
FEMI
There is no fixing anything, there is no solution to it
SELMA JOHHSON
And that is where you are wrong, it might be difficult to fix the problem but there is no problem in this world without a solution
FEMI
I should fix the problem?
SELMA JOHHSON
Yes, because I believe fixing the problem will help you forgive her and if you still can’t forgive her, you need to let her go
FEMI
Let her go?
SELMA JOHHSON
Am sure, it won’t come to that. Find a way and fix the problem and everything will go back right to normal
She gives him the necklace but he refuses to take the necklace
FEMI
You should take it
SELMA JOHHSON
What? No
FEMI
You wanted to buy the necklace from me for your daughter, you should take it and give it to her
SELMA JOHHSON
But this is not for her, in fact I was in the store to get the one I ordered for her
FEMI
Am saying you should take it and give it to her, right now my wife does not deserve something precious like this from me
SELMA JOHHSON
At least let me pay for it
FEMI
You give me a good advice that I will pay for if I am seeing a therapist, you should take this as your payment for your advice
SELMA JOHHSON
Am not supposed to take this?
FEMI
If you don’t take this, I am just going to throw this in the bin
Selma takes the necklace
SELMA JOHHSON
Thank you
