Previously On the road from Lagos Cece reminisces about her past with Selma
BACK TO PRESENT
EXT. ON A TREE- EVENING
Cece closes her eyes in pain
OBA-ABASS
What went sour between you two?
Cece shakes her head in frustration and lashes out at Oba-Abass
CECE
Since you feel like talking, why not let talk about you
OBA-ABASS
About me?
CECE
Yes, about you. From the way you talk about Clifford William and Selma Johnson, it means you are close to them and for you to be close to the top dogs of Williams Conglomerate, it means you are a top dog yourself… you said your wife hates travelling, that only implies that you travel a lot and I confirm that when you told Remilekun that you are not always around. There is a big chance that William Conglomerate was built on your sweat and blood and yet I don’t know you… which only mean that Clifford William is only using you and not giving you what you deserve which explains your misery.
Oba-Abass’s look confirms her theory, Cece chuckles sadly
CECE
I can’t believe that I am right (pause) do you know the kind of men I hate, the kind that blames others for their misfortune when it is clearly their fault for not having the balls to fight for what is rightfully theirs. You are a coward
Oba smiles
OBA-ABASS
Yes, I am a coward, I don’t have the balls to fight for what is mine, I know that now and in my own book that is the first step to finding a solution… but do you know the kind of woman I hate, the kind that is too close up to let go a long term grudge even when the other party is died because she is jealous
CECE
What?
OBA-ABASS
You told me the truth, I just returned the favour
EXT. INSIDE THE FOREST- EVENING
Femi walks in front with Jamin and Remilekun walking behind. Remilekun looks up to see him, he smiles at her. Remilekun looks uncomfortable at the smile
JAMIN
Are you okay?
REMILEKUN
My leg is broken, how can I be okay?
JAMIN
Oh, I am sorry
REMILEKUN
How did you know my mom?
JAMIN
Your mom? I thought you said you didn’t want to hear me talk about her to you
REMILEKUN
I want to hear it now
JAMIN
You mom….
He sighs heavily
