My shield?




EPISODE 27

BACK TO PRESENT

EXT. AISHA’S UNCOMPLETED COURT- EVENING

Aisha walk into her new court which is still under construction. She watch the men working on it, EMILY sees her and walks to her. Aisha looks surprise to see Emily

AISHA

You are here again?

EMILY

Yes, Amira put me in charge of the building

AISHA

Okay then

Emily bows to Aisha

AISHA

There is no need for all that

EMILY

You are the First lady of this village, you deserve it

AISHA

I am just a lady with no power, so you should not go through the trouble of respecting me (looks at the building) how is the construction coming on?

EMILY

It is going on fine, at this rate, there is a chance that you will move into this place in two months’ time

AISHA

You are doing such great work (looks at Emily well) have we met before, you look familiar

EMILY

Yeah, we came into this place together

AISHA

Oh really, I must not have seen you that day

EMILY

Actually you did

Aisha suddenly remembers her

AISHA

Oh my God, you were the crying lady

Emily smiles sheepishly

AISHA

I am so sorry I didn’t remember, it is just that we only met one time and you look different from what I remember

EMILY

When life deals with a person, there is always a difference

AISHA

You must have gone through a lot here

EMILY

So have you

AISHA

Have tea with me

EMILY

I will love to but I am kind of busy here

AISHA

I know but I want to thank you for the good job you are doing here without Amira here

EMILY

I am just doing my job, you don’t have to thank me for doing my job

AISHA

But I insist

Emily hesitate

AISHA

Please 

EMILY

Okay

Aisha smiles

AISHA

Then let go


INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE PALACE- EVENING

Aisha and Emily walks through the palace. They turn at a corner and they see newly kidnapped girls of different ages and complexion been dragged out of the bus 

Aisha looks shocked at what she is seeing

AISHA

What the hell?

EMILY

Why do you look so surprise?

AISHA

Are you not? I was told the only reason why young ladies are kidnapped from outside is because the Khan needed an heir. He has his heir already why is he still bringing more ladies

EMILY

The other men needs wives

AISHA

So you are saying that the kidnapping is never going to stop

EMILY

No but it is surprising that you have been in this place for more than a year and you are yet to know the way of these people

AISHA

I have never thought I will stay this long

EMILY

Well, you need to start learning, you will need it

Suddenly ABDUL walk into the courtyard and sees Aisha looking at the girls. Aisha looks at Abdul

 

FLASHBACK- INSIDE MUYANKU

A past conversion with Amira

AMIRA

You know I didn’t quite understand it when he gave me your bracelet to return to you but now I understand, he likes you

AISHA

Wait a minute, he gave you the necklace to give to me?

AMIRA

Yes

AISHA

Then I guess I should say thank you the next time I see him

AISHA

Who is he exactly?

AMIRA

He is the First man

AISHA

First man?

AMIRA

The second in command to the Khan. He actually rules Muyanku

AISHA

What? Isn’t the Khan the ruler?

AMIRA

Father is just a figure head, Abdul makes all the crucial decisions and the Khan gives the final command as protocol

AMIRA

So what are you going to do about it?

AISHA

Do about what? Have you forgotten that I am married to the Khan and even if I am not, I don’t have time for something like that. All I am concerned about now is getting my son out of this horrible place

AMIRA

If we had no escape route, he would have been our escape route


BACK TO PRESENT

Aisha smiles to Abdul as she bows to him, then she leaves with Emily

HALIMA
You don’t know what the seal of Chief Artisan is, do you?
AISHA
