EPISODE 50
INT. INSIDE THE CLINIC- MORNING
As Cece walks away from Jamin and his sister, she sees a fair woman talking to a nurse
NURSE
Please come with me
The nurse leads the woman to Femi’s bed. Cece sees the woman hugging Femi tightly, then she untangles herself from him
RACHEL
Are you okay honey?
FEMI
Yes I am good, I just have few scratches
Rachel looks so sorry
RACHEL
This is all my fault, if I had not done that terrible thing I did to you, you won’t be on that bus. I am so sorry honey
FEMI
I am sorry too
RACHEL
For what?
FEMI
We had a plan but I tried to change it because I am the head of the house and I felt it is my right to dictate your life to you. For that I am sorry
RACHEL
No matter what you did, I never should have taken such drastic measure
FEMI
I forgive you Rachel
Joyful tears flows down her face
RACHEL
Are you serious?
FEMI
Yes I am
Rachel tries to kiss him this time around but Femi evades her touch
RACHEL
I guess I was too forward, I understand that it will take us time to get back to where we were before
FEMI
I don’t think we can get back to the way we were before
RACHEL
I know it will take us time but we will get back what we lost, I promise
Femi closes his eyes in pain and then opens them back
FEMI
I want a divorce Rachel
Rachel looks shocked
RACHEL
A divorce? Why? I thought you said you have forgiven me
FEMI
Yes I have
RACHEL
Then why do you want a divorce?
FEMI
Because a marriage needs trust and if you can do this to me, I don’t trust you enough to believe you won’t kill me if I do something to hurt you again
RACHEL
I told you your impotence is a mistake, it was never meant to happen
FEMI
Some wives kill their husbands unintentionally
At this point Rachel starts to sob
RACHEL
I thought you said you love me
FEMI
Of course I do, why do you think I spent the last two years looking for a solution that does not exist and I lost myself doing that. I felt looking for a solution will fix us but Rachel, there is no fixing us
RACHEL
I can’t give up on us like this, I will do whatever it takes to brings us back
FEMI
I want my life back Rachel, I want to move on and before I can do that, I need to do away with you
RACHEL
Do away with me? So you are giving up on us this?
FEMI
I am sorry Rachel but I can’t get past the fact that you made me impotent
RACHEL
What about the kids or have you forgotten about them? How do you think they will feel if they know you have decided to abandon them?
FEMI
I am not abandoning them, they are my kids and I will be their father all the step of the way. And when I say my kids, am talking about all three
RACHEL
I can’t believe you will do this to us
Rachel leaves in tears, then Cece comes in
CECE
Divorce?
FEMI
Were you eavesdropping on other people’s matter?
CECE
I am sorry, I couldn’t help it. I witnessed other passengers’ happy ending. I guess I wanted to witness yours too, too bad it was not one
FEMI
I am sorry I didn’t live my life the way you want
CECE
I thought you were following Selma’s advice, did Selma tell you to get a divorce?
FEMI
Actually she said I should forgive and that if I can’t, I should let her go but I choose to forgive and also let her go
CECE
Do you really have to divorce her?
FEMI
I came alive when the baby’s mother needed my help in saving her life. I haven’t had that feeling in two years now. I want go back to helping people but I can’t do that with Rachel in my life
CECE
You know she will still be in your life right… because of the kids
FEMI
Our relationship will be less complicated by then (sighs) do you mind taking my case?
CECE
I am sure you will have your own lawyer
FEMI
Rachel and I share one lawyer. I want her to take that one because he will look after her well when it comes to the settlement aspect
CECE
Are you sure you can afford my fees?
FEMI
(Chuckles) Of course I can
Oba walks in hurriedly
OBA-ABASS
Cece!
Oba senses the situation
OBA-ABASS
I hope I am not interrupting anything
FEMI
Please take her, we are done
CECE
What is it?
OBA-ABASS
Come on
The two walk away from Femi’s corner
