EPISODE 33
INT. AISHA’S ROOM- MIDNIGHT
Sweat covers Aisha’s face and body as she sleeps on her bed. Her face tweaks with pain, as she sleeps like she is having a bad dream. Seconds later she screams from her sleep, breathing in and out harshly. Emily comes in hurriedly
EMILY
Are you okay?
Aisha gives her no response as she stands up to check Alhaji in the cot close to her bed. She pats Alhaji who sleeps soundly on his chest gently
EMILY
Did you have a bad dream?
AISHA
I need to get some fresh air
She walks out of her room with Emily walking behind into her courtyard. Aisha breathes in and out loudly
EMILY
What did you dream about?
AISHA
The girl? How is she?
EMILY
Omar’s wife?
AISHA
She is not Omar’s wife, how is she?
EMILY
She is still in coma
AISHA
She is taking too long
EMILY
The trauma to her body is too great but she survived the first night, so the doctor is hopeful
AISHA
Inform me when there is any improvement
EMILY
Why are you so fixated on this girl? You should be more concerned about yourself, you should focus on protecting your son and speaking of protection, have you spoken to the Chief Nurse about giving you the seal
AISHA
I am going to protect myself another way
EMILY
Why will you do that when there is a seal that can protect you?
AISHA
Because the owner has refused to give it to me
EMILY
And so what? That is not an excuse. Because she said no, are you going to give up? You keep asking for it until she gives it to you
AISHA
And what if she keeps saying no
EMILY
Then you take it from her with force
AISHA
If I do that, how am i different from Halima?
Emily becomes angry as she talk with frustration
EMILY
Then what is your plan exactly? Or do you still think inviting the Khan to your bed will protect you?
AISHA
Emily, y…
EMILY
You can’t even stand the man’s touch, how is that suppose to protect you?
Aisha burst out in a loud voice
AISHA
I am going have to learn to stand his touch. I hate it but I will learn to endure it because it is the only way
EMILY
It is the not the only w…
AISHA
It is the only way, Amira had everything, she had power, money, people’s respect, she had everything, everything except her father’s love which is why she is died today. Halima act all high and mighty because she has the Khan’s love. I need that love, if I have that love, I have everything. So stop arguing with me on this matter and do what I ask
Aisha starts to walks away then she suddenly turns back to face Emily
AISHA
I need you to invite all the mistresses to my court tomorrow
EMILY
What for?
AISHA
A feast
EMILY
A feast? Why are you planning a feast all of a sudden?
AISHA
I was once a mistress like them, I need them to know that I am still on their side
EMILY
People’s respect, you gunning for their respect and love. I thought you only need the Khan’s love
Aisha sighs in defeat
AISHA
Will you just do as I ask?
EMILY
All the mistresses? Including the High mistress
AISHA
I don’t want to see that conniving bitch in my court
EMILY
(Sarcastically) I needed to be sure
EXT. AISHA’S GAZEBO- LATE MORNING
The eighteen mistresses of the Khan sits facing either with plates of food on each table. Aisha sits facing them at the front with a bright smile on her face as she watch them eat
AISHA
I am so sorry that it took this long before I invited you all to my court
SAFEERA
We understand that you need time to mourn the princess, you were so close to her
FATIMA
Her death was a big loss to us all
AISHA
Thank you for your understanding and I want to assure you that from now on, I will be there for you
SAFEERA
You will be there for us?
AISHA
Yes… whatever you need, whatever problem you might be facing, feel free to come and meet me and to show you guys that I mean my word
Servants comes in with each carrying piles of Ankara with other beauty accessories and dropping them in front of each mistress
AISHA
That is this month’s necessities that the Khan gave us. I have shared it equally among all of you
The mistresses all looks amazed and happy
SAFEERA
Is this your way of asking us to support you in your fight against the High Mistress
AISHA
Fight? Who said I am in fight with the High Mistress
FATIMA
Everybody in this palace know that you two are in for each other’s blood
AISHA
So you think I am giving you the gifts as a bribe?
FATIMA
Isn’t that so?
Aisha smiles
AISHA
I can’t believe my good deeds has been misinterpreted as a war strategy
SAFEERA
Please don’t take our concern as an insult
AISHA
Insult? Please that has not even crossed my mind
Kuami rushes in a hurry and whispers something into Aisha’s ear. Aisha looks surprise at the information Kuami just gave her, then she whispers something to Kuami in a low voice
AISHA
Get me as many servant as you can get
KUAMI
Yes my lady
Kuami leaves as Aisha faces the mistresses
AISHA
Please don’t see my kindness as a ploy to get you on my side, I was just simply looking out for your interest because I was once a mistress like you all but if you don’t trust me, please feel free to drop the gifts
Aisha stands up
AISHA
So if you will excuse me, I have something I have to attend to. My Chief servant here will attend to all of your needs, so please stay back and enjoy the feast.
The mistresses starts to murmur but Aisha ignores them all as she walks out of the gazebo with her servants walking behind her. Emily runs out of the gazebo calling Aisha
EMILY
My lady
Aisha stops and faces her
EMILY
What happened? Why are you in a hurry?
AISHA
The girl has woken up
EMILY
Okay, I guess that is great news
Aisha replies with a smile on her face
AISHA
Yes, it is
EMILY
But why are you a hurry to go see her? I asked you yesterday why you are so fixated on the girl
AISHA
I am fixated because I am going to do what Amira did for me to her
EMILY
Which is what exactly?
AISHA
Save her, I am going to save her
Aisha walks away with her servants
Next on My Name is....
AISHA
What I am saying is, what I need from you is not the seal but you
NIMAH
You killed Amira, I never forgive you for that
AISHA
I know that but you can’t hate me more than I hate myself for my hand in her death but she is died and the best way to make sure that her death is not in vain is to continue her legacy
