Previously on My Name is....

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



EPISODE 28

INT. INSIDE AISHA’S COURT-EVENING

Aisha enters her court with Emily to find some servants ransacking her court. Aisha sees her own servants outside looking at the ladies causing commotion

AISHA

What the hell?

EMILY

What are they doing?

Aisha moves closer to the servants

AISHA

What is happening here?

The servants all bows to her, one of the servant lifts her head up to answer

ONE SERVANT

The high mistress is coordinating a search of your court

AISHA

Halima is here in my court?

Aisha becomes angry 

AISHA

Where is Alhaji? Where is my son?

SERVANT

He is still with the Khan

Aisha looks up to see HALIMA with her servants, RAHELLA, included. Aisha fists her hands

AISHA

Follow me

Aisha starts to walk to Halima with her servants behind her. Before getting to Halima, she shouts Halima’s name

AISHA

Halimaaaa, what is this?

Halima turns to see Aisha

HALIMA

Halima? Did I just hear you call me that?

AISHA

How dare you barge into my court and scatter my place?

MINA

Do you even know who you are talking to? She is the high mistress of this palace

AISHA

Well I am the First Lady of this village and as far as I am concerned, my rank is way higher than yours

KARINA and RAHELLA comes out of the house

RAHELLA

We searched everywhere but we can’t find it

HALIMA

Are you sure?

KARINA

Yes, we searched every crook and nook of this rotten court but we didn’t find it

AISHA

What are you looking for in my court?

HALIMA

The seal of Chief Artisan, where is it?

AISHA

What?

HALIMA

You were Amira’s pet, she must have given it to you

Emily sees the confusion written all over Aisha’s face

EMILY

Why will she give to you?

Karina slaps Emily across the face

KARINA

How dare you open your filthy mouth in the front of the High Mistress?

AISHA

What are you doing?

Emily looks pissed as she talks back to Karina

EMILY

I work for the first lady, I guess that gives me the privilege to talk anywhere

KARINA

You this wrench!

Karina moves to slap her again but Aisha stands in front of her

AISHA

How dare show such insolence before me

Halima’s servants all burst into laughter

HALIMA

You must think you are royalty or something because you gave birth to the heir, newsflash, you are just the First Lady with no real power. If I can take care of Amira, then you are nothing but a toothpick that I can break any time

Realization dawns on Aisha 

AISHA

You took care of Amira? (Scoffs) you were that source the Khan talked about. You rat Amira out

HALIMA

Did you really think you guys can leave Muyanku without me knowing? Too bad I couldn’t get rid of you too

Aisha looks pissed

AISHA

Get out of my court

HALIMA

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

AISHA

I said get out

HALIMA

If it is not with you, then Nimah has it, I just have to ask her

Halima walks away with her servant. 

AISHA

That bitch

She turns to Emily and touches her face

AISHA

Are you okay?

EMILY

I have been through things that a much worse than a slap, I am fine

AISHA

Amira died because of that bitch, we should have been more careful

EMILY

I am so sorry for your loss

AISHA

Thank you but what is the seal of Chief Artisan?

EMILY

The seal is the power of the Chief Artisan

AISHA

Why does Halima want it?

EMILY

Whosoever has it possess the authority over the market women and business in this village. You were with Amira for more than a year, I can’t believe you don’t know what that means

AISHA

I never cared about things like that, I just wanted to go home

EMILY

Well going home is not an option right now, you need to start caring about things like that to protect yourself and your son because Halima will not stop until you and your son are died

AISHA

It looks like she will stop at nothing until she gets the seal, I feel for Nimah

EMILY

Are you sure she has it?

AISHA

She has to, she is the closest to Amira

EMILY

Then you need to get it from her

AISHA

Why?

EMILY

Because you need that power to protect yourself and your son, do I need to spell it out to you?

AISHA

I doubt if she will give me, we are not exactly in speaking terms

EMILY

You have to get it, at any means necessary

Aisha sighs 


Hummmmm 

EXT. AISHA’S COURTYARD- EVENING

Aisha stands in the middle of her court while playing with her son. She carries him in her arms as she hums to him with a bright smile on her face while gently moving to the song she is humming

AISHA

Hummm, hummm, hummmmm, beautiful boy

At this point, Alhaji rewards her with a smile. Aisha responds with lovely chuckle

AISHA (CONT’D)

Yes, that is the spirit my love. You are the most important person in this world to your Ma. I love you so much.

She hugs him close to her body as she continues her evening stroll round her courtyard. She turns to a corner and she sees clustered servants gossiping. The moment they see Aisha, they quickly disperse. Aisha looks disturbed at this

AISHA

Kuami

Kuami is a tall fair beautiful young lady that appears to be in her twenties

KUAMI

Yes Ma’am

AISHA

What is happening there?

KUAMI

I have no idea

AISHA

Find out for me please

KUAMI

Yes Ma’am

Kuami bows her head and leaves. Aisha turns her attention back to her son with a smile on her face

AISHA

Should we continue our walk my love or should we stop and go back inside 

She sighs as she looks at her son who smiling to her

AISHA

I think we should stop here today

She turns back with her servants following her and walks to her room. 


INT. AISHA’S ROOM- EVENING

She enters her room and puts Alhaji in his crib, as she turns, Kuami comes in with a sad face

AISHA

What happened? What did you find out?

KUAMI

Another girl has been assaulted 

AISHA

What?

KUAMI

I heard she is a bad shape and is in the palace clinic

Aisha looks very angry and disturbed at this news

AISHA

What? Who did that to her

KUAMI

I heard it was Omar

AISHA

That animal… Toba

Toba is a short, chubby and dark young woman within the range of eighteen and twenty

TOBA

Yes ma’am

AISHA

Look after Alhaji

TOBA

Yes ma’am

AISHA

The rest of you should stay here

KUAMI

As the First Lady, you are not suppose to walk alone

AISHA

As the First Lady, Halima is suppose to lick my feet but instead she lords over me. Whatever rules a First Lady is suppose to follow, I am scrambling it and making my own rules

KUAMI

But still

Aisha walks to the door

AISHA

Kuami, you are with me, the rest are to remain here and watch my son

Aisha walks out of the door, Kuami runs after her


Next on My Name is....

AISHA
Laila illallah, She is just a child, who will do this to a young girl?
KUAMI
This is unbelievable
AISHA
I know Omar is an animal but this, this is pure evil
