Previously On the road from Lagos
Cece attacks Oba because of Selma while Jamin and Remilekun gets closer
BACK TO PRESENT
EXT. INSIDE A FOREST- EVENING
Remilekun taps her finger and brings Jamin back to reality
REMILEKUN
Where did you go just now?
JAMIN
Your mom help me with my sister’s case
REMILEKUN
What was the case about?
JAMIN
Divorce case
REMILEKUN
Why was she divorcing her husband?
Jamin chuckles
JAMIN
You are asking too many personal questions for someone who asked me to mind my business this morning
REMILEKUN
I am sorry if I am asking too much
JAMIN
She is a victim of an abusive marriage
Remilekun looks surprise
REMILEKUN
I am so sorry
Jamin sees sympathy on Remilekun’s face and is a little taken aback
JAMIN
I am sorry! Those are word I didn’t expect to hear from you
REMILEKUN
So my mom helped her with the case?
JAMIN
She wanted to help but my sister refused her help, a day after that, your mother died
Remilekun sighs heavily
REMILEKUN
Funny you came to the funeral of a woman you only knew for a short period
JAMIN
During that short period, she inspired me to be good to others
REMILEKUN
You didn’t tell me how you met her, only what she did for you
JAMIN
She came to give a lecture at seminar in my school, from the way she talked, I felt she was someone that could help me. I approached her with the expectations that she would give guidelines on how I could get her out of the marriage but instead she offered to take the case
REMILEKUN
She was a very expensive lawyer, no offensive but you don’t look like you can afford her
Jamin smiles
JAMIN
None taken, it was a pro bono case
REMILEKUN
Ahh, of course, I never knew any of this. You know it is funny that I am learning about who my mom really was from strangers. That know-it-all woman was right, I am just a spoilt selfish rich brat who has no regards for no one not even for her own mom
JAMIN
Remilekun don’t say that
REMILEKUN
But it is the truth, my dream was to be like my dad and inherit his company, so I focused more on my dad and neglected my mom becasue I thought she was nothing. I thought she was weak and fragile… I felt she was someone I needed to protect from my dad’s wayward life. Turns out she needed no protection
Tears starts to form in her eyes
JAMIN
I have to disagreed with you that you neglected your mom, if you really did, you would have let your dad say her eulogy
REMILEKUN
That was not even about her. My dad always do whatever I want
JAMIN
Whatever you want?
REMILEKUN
Yes no matter what it is, he will always do it for me but when it comes to the other woman and her bastard, he does the exact opposite (tears flows down). On the day of the accident, he was supposed to pick me and my mom but instead he went to his mistress’s place (she stops and face Jamin) that drama you saw me display on the day of my mom’s funeral is just me been pissed at my dad. I was so angry that he chose her over me and so I felt if he sees how angry I am he will come back to me but instead he brought her home… into my mom’s bed. Then I thought again that if his baby girl goes faraway that he will let that bitch go
JAMIN
That is why you are going to Zaria?
REMILEKUN
See, I am a selfish brat who has no regard for anyone not even my own mom. That woman deserved better than me
JAMIN
Remileku…
Jamin tries to console her but she refuses
REMILEKUN
I don’t know who I am anymore, I absolutely don’t know who I am anymore
Jamin tries to console her again but she refuse and tries to walk on her own but Jamin was fast to hold onto her
JAMIN
I understand how you feel but you can’t walk on your own, so lean on me
Suddenly Femi who is walking in front suddenly stops
JAMIN
What is wrong?
Femi points the shaking bush next to them
FEMI
I think we are about to have company
Jamin quickly drops Remilekun to sit on the floor
JAMIN
Stay there and let me help the Doctor
Remilekun wipes her tears away and nods. Jamin stands next to Femi who looks ready to fight. As the shaking becoming more vigorously, they move to strike when Nimah and the pregnant woman comes out of the bush. Jamin sees his sister, his face gives way for a bright smile and he runs to hug her
JAMIN
Sister, I am so happy to see you
Nimah hugs him back too
FEMI
I hate to break this family reunion but we need to move now, it will be dark soon
NIMAH
Where are the other two passengers?
FEMI
We won’t know where they are. So have you found the bus?
NIMAH
Not yet
FEMI
(Points to the pregnant woman)With her help, why not
NIMAH
That woman does not know the way
FEMI
But her husband said she does
NIMAH
He lied, we are going to have to find it ourselves
Femi sighs deeply
FEMI
Is there a way from where you were coming from?
NIMAH
No, we were just walking circle, yours?
FEMI
It is a dead end
JAMIN
Then I guess we have to continue walking straight
Nimah sees the pregnant woman bending down to checking her thighs
NIMAH
Are you okay?
Nimah walks to her and check her clothes to see a multiple lines of water coming down her legs. Nimah looks shocked as she call Femi
NIMAH
Doctor, I think her water has broken
Femi rushes to them
PREGNANT WOMAN
What is wrong?
NIMAH
(talking to Femi)Right?
FEMI
Yes (talks to the pregnant woman) you are about to give birth, we need to get you to an hospital
