NIMAH
I want a divorce
FARUK AUDU
Divorce? What are you talking about?
NIMAH
I can’t do this again. I cannot allow Akeem to grow to be like you, I can’t allow Saidat to grow up thinking that a woman is meant to be beaten to show submissiveness to her husband. I want out of this marriage, I want a divorce
FARUK AUDU
What is this mad woman talking about?
He raises his hand to strike but a hand holds his hand from nowhere. He looks back to see Jamin holding his hand
FARUK AUDU
What are you doing Jamin?
JAMIN
You are a disgrace to manhood
FARUK AUDU
Leave my hand alone
Jamin twist his hands and Faruk Audu screams in pain
JAMIN
I can believe you want to beat her in public again
NIMAH
Jamin, leave him alone
JAMIN
Sister, let me teach this man a lesson
NIMAH
Let him go Jamin
Cece comes into the room
CECE
Your sister is right Jamin, let him go
JAMIN
You don’t understand, my sister wants a divorce and he is about to beat her because of that
CECE
I know that but violence will not get your sister the freedom she deserve nor will it solve the problem at hand, so let him go
Jamin hesitates for like two seconds, Cece scowl at him
CECE
Jamin, let him go
Jamin releases him reluctantly
FARUK AUDU
Thank you sister
CECE
Oh don’t thank me because I am not your side. Jamin was been nice to you but I won’t be. I am the Grim reaper that is ready to end your life
FARUK AUDU
What?
CECE
You laid your filthy hands on a woman, your woman, the mother of your children. Oh God, I am so going to enjoying ending your rotten life
FARUK AUDU
Whatever happen between this woman and me stays between us, it is none of your business
CECE
Oh I made it my business because I have employed myself as this woman’s lawyer. I am going take the little thing you have until the beggars on the streets of Lagos have more worth than you do
FARUK AUDU
This woman is my wife, you can’t take her from me
CECE
Watch me, now take your sorry self out of this place
FARUK AUDU
Mama Akeem, let go
CECE
Young man, don’t test me. Get out before I call the police
FARUK AUDU
Mama Akeem we will see each other at home
Faruk Audu leaves. Jamin goes to his sister
JAMIN
You did the right thing sister
NIMAH
Did I? Where will I stay?
JAMIN
With me sister, you will stay with me
NIMAH
What about my children? Saidat is just one
CECE
Don’t worry about them, I will file for your divorce case tomorrow and also get you the temporary custody of your children until you and your husband reach a settlement
NIMAH
Thank you but I don’t have the money to pay
CECE
It is pro bono, you saved my life with your knife skills. Consider it your payment
JAMIN
Thank you Cece
Cece smiles and leaves.
