EPISODE 42
EXT. AISHA’S COURTYARD- EVENING
Aisha walks around her courtyard holding walking Alhaji’s hand, her servants walks few steps behind them. She suddenly stops and bends to Alhaji’s level. She smiles brightly at him and he reciprocates the smile
AISHA
Look at your eyes, so beautiful… like daddy’s, if mummy sees you right now, she will want to eat you up because of those eyes
Aisha sighs heavily
AISHA
When did you become so big my love? I still remember the day you were born, even though I didn’t see you that day, I know you were so small because Amira won’t stop talking about you. But look at you now, so big. I wish you will stop growing until I can get you out of this terrible place, I can’t let you acclimatize to this place. I need to get you out when I still can
Aisha talks with tears forming in her eyes
VOICE
Which is why you need my help
Aisha looks up to see Nimah in her courtyard. Nimah walks to mother and son. Nimah bends to Alhaji’s level, she smiles to him
NIMAH
He is so big…. the last time I saw him, he was so small
Aisha stands up cleaning the tears in her eyes
AISHA
Why are you here Nimah?
NIMAH
I heard you need my help
Nimah bring out the seal, Aisha is taken aback. Then she looks at Emily who takes her eyes away
AISHA
I am so sorry if my Chief servant threatened you into giving me that seal
NIMAH
Threaten me? She didn’t threaten me
AISHA
Then how did she get you to give the seal?
NIMAH
She told me why you need the seal urgently
AISHA
Why I need the seal?
NIMAH
To rescue the women in this village
AISHA
She told you that?
Nimah nods, Aisha looks over at Emily who looks away
NIMAH
I am happy to help
AISHA
You don’t have to give me this seal
NIMAH
Are you kidding me? I want to give it to you. You are saving the women, Amira will be so proud
AISHA
You think?
NIMAH
I know so, you are doing what she couldn’t do, of course she will be proud
The tears forming in Aisha’s eyes finally falls.
AISHA
I am so sorry about Amira, if I had said the truth, she will be alive today
NIMAH
Yes she will… I should apologize to you too. I was very rude
AISHA
It is fine
NIMAH
No it is not fine. Amira meant a lot to me but that does not give me the right to act like that to you. You are the First lady, it is my obligation to respect you no matter what
Aisha draws Nimah to herself and hugs her
AISHA
I am just happy that you are back
BACK TO PRESENT
INT. AISHA’S MANSION-AFTERNOON
Still at the dining room, Aisha stands close to the window looking lost. With a smile on her face, Rose moves closer to Aisha
ROSE
So you and Nimah made up
AISHA
Yes, the mission brought her back to me
ROSE
You say that like it is a bad thing
AISHA
She hated me and there she was, hugging me
ROSE
You didn’t seem to mind
AISHA
Yes because I needed people by my side. Nimah with me means Amira is with me
ROSE
What happened after Nimah came to you?
Amira replies with a smile
AISHA
My new court was what happened
ROSE
Your new court?
AISHA
Yes, the court Amira designed for me
ROSE
Oh! That. It was finally completed?
AISHA
Yes and we moved in on the day Alhaji clocked one
Rose smiles
ROSE
Now I see the reason why you smiled at the mention of the new court, your son
AISHA
Not just my son, the ladies too. It was a day of happiness and celebration for them, for one day they forgot their worries and just enjoyed the day
ROSE
Was it a day of happiness for you?
Aisha’s smile fades
AISHA
That day was just a reminder that I am running out of time to get my son and my people out of that miserable place
Next on My Name is....
AISHA
I am about to do the impossible, I need every help I can get from everybody even from Allah
NIMAH
So you think Allah will protect you even though you have to play with two men
AISHA
I am sure Allah will understand that I am doing what I have to do to protect my people.
