EPISODE 2
INT. DAVID’S CAR- NIGHT
David parks his car in front of Aisha’s house. Aisha stretches her head to kiss him on the lips
AISHA
See you babe (David blocks her mouth) what is wrong?
DAVID
(upset as he faces her) are you really asking me that? After what you did at my party, my very own party. You insulted my friends and even I included
AISHA
I didn’t insult you, I was just explaining something
DAVID
That I am poor
AISHA
Of course not, that was not what I meant
DAVID
So what did you mean exactly?
AISHA
I kno… you know what, I done trying to defend myself to you
DAVID
What?
AISHA
Because it seems you only care about your ego and your stupid friends and you didn’t see that I was been insulted myself
DAVID
No one insulted you
AISHA
You know when I started dating you, my friends that said you will not be able to handle my wealth
DAVID
What?
AISHA
But I defended you and told them that, you are not like my former boyfriend. I told them that you are mature and open minded but I guess I was wrong, you can’t handle my wealth
DAVID
(In a daze) Aisha?
AISHA
Instead of you to be praising me for trying to get know your poor friends, you are insulting me. Knowing fully well that the only reason why I am even talking to those riff-raffs is because of you
DAVID
(Very angry) get out
AISHA
I am going to leave hopefully we can talk tomorrow after you are done feeling insecure about your poverty
DAVID
I am not going to be around tomorrow
AISHA
Where are you going?
DAVID
(in a loud voice) get out Aisha before I lose my temper
AISHA
Alright (she gets out and watch him drive away
INT. AISHA’S MANSION- NIGHT
Aisha enters her dark house. On walking into the living room, the light comes on and a fair woman in night gown with wrapper tied around her stands up. She appears to be in her late fifties
FIYIN HASSAN
Where are you coming from, Aisha?
Aisha ignores her mother and she keeps walking
AISHA
You know where am coming from
FIYIN HASSAN
(In a loud voice) I am talking to you Aisha, don’t walk away from me
AISHA
What is it?
FIYIN HASSAN
Where are you coming at this time of the night? Didn’t you check the time, it is 11pm
AISHA
Why are you so worked up? I told you David’s friends thrown a party for him and it is only 11pm
FIYIN HASSAN
(With worries) it is only 11pm Aisha? Lenu eh si mi (you are telling me that). Is this the time a responsible lady is supposed to be coming back home in this dangerous world that we are?
AISHA
I was with David, what harm could come to me?
FIYIN
It seems I will have a talk with David about this ungodly time he is bringing you home
AISHA
(Upset) don’t try that mom
FIYIN
(Surprise) Aisha, are you talking to me like that?
AISHA
I am a grown ass woman, mom. I don’t need you babying me
FIYIN
You are a grown ass woman? (Scoffs) Mrs. grown ass woman, listen well and listen good, you are my child and it is my job to baby you
AISHA
I am not going to let you do that
FIYIN
(With tear forming in her eyes) se oh tie se anu mi (Don’t you pity me), ojo kan epa, oju kan ere mi ni eh (you are my only child). You are my only child, you are the only biological person I have in my life. If I lose you now, my life is officially over
AISHA
(Scoffs as she rolls her eyes) here we go again, emotional blackmail. I don’t have time for this. I am going to bed, good night mom
She continue walking and she walks past OTUNBA HASSAN, a man in his early sixties on the stairs
AISHA (CONT’D)
Good night dad
She walks away. Otunba looks at her and shakes his head in regret and he looks at his wife who is crying downstairs
OTUNBA HASSAN
Ewo obinrin yii oh ma para eh (you this woman, you better don’t kill yourself)
Fiyin starts to cry at the top of her voice
FIYIN HASSAN
Otunba, where have I gone wrong? Which stone did I left unrolled while raising Aisha? (Otunba walks downstairs) where have I gone wrong? Why is our only child like this Otunba?
Otunba holds her hand
OTUNBA HASSAN
Fiyinfoluwa, let go inside and sleep
FIYIN HASSAN
Otunba, se e woo mi niran ni (are you looking at me like this), are you going to watch your own daughter ruin her own life like that
OTUNBA HASSAN
She is not my daughter
FIYIN HASSAN
Otunba, ki le so? (What are you saying?)
OTUNBA HASSAN
A child that makes her mother cry is not my child
FIYIN HASSAN
Otunba?
OTUNBA HASSAN
You are the best mother I have ever seen, you did your best in training that useless girl but when she decides to turn out bad, why are you blaming yourself?
FIYIN HASSAN
Otunba?
OTUNBA HASSAN
Nu oju eh, mi o fe gbo nkankan mo (Clean your eyes, I don’t want to hear anything again)
FIYIN HASSAN
(Still crying) Otunba
OTUNBA HASSAN
(Upset) ewo obinrin yii, (You this woman) ma je ki ki binu si e oh. (Don’t make me angry) Mo ni otito (I said it is enough)
FIYIN HASSAN
Oda, mo ti dake (Okay, I won’t cry again)
She walks upstairs as Otunba follows
OTUNBA HASSAN
Mo ti gba pe mi o lomo mo, (I have accept that I don’t have any child again) you need to accept it as well
OLDER AISHA’S VOICEOVER
I was what you will a proud
BACK TO PRESENT
EXT. AISHA’S MANSION- MORNING
The scene changes to show older Aisha with Rose in her office
AISHA
I won’t say untrained because my parent trained me, I didn’t just accept their training. I was a source of disappointment and sadness to my parents, my mom will cry and cry, my dad…
ROSE
Didn’t care?
AISHA
Oh he cared, his rejection was just a front to sheld his heart from pain but he was still hurting. I was useless to the world, to my parent and even to myself. I was the definition of what we Yorubas will call omo to ba wi, to wa ru ki, o se tan lati paru (A child who refuses training, he or she is setup for destruction)
Next on My Name is....
OTUNBA HASSAN
And where are you going?
AISHA
To pack my luggage of course
OTUNBA HASSAN
You came into my house with nothing, you are definitely leaving with nothing also
AISHA
You are going to come back and beg
