My Name is....71: Highly Delusional!

ABDUL

He has anger issues, like you said, his tiny little weakness had covered his other good attributes

AISHA

Not exactly, sometimes anger can be a strong weapon

ABDUL

What?

AISHA

If his anger is channeled in the right direction, with the right method and at the right time... then, his anger can be a strong weapon for you

EPISODE 71

EXT. AISHA’S COURTYARD- NIGHT

Aisha walks to meet Abdul who stands in a corner.

AISHA

Why are you here?

ABDUL

I need to tell you something

AISHA

Whatever it is, can’t it wait till tomorrow?

ABDUL

No, it can’t

AISHA

What is wrong?

ABDUL

I made Omar the Chief Guard

AISHA

What?

ABDUL

I know it is bad but when you started telling me all his good attribute, I said to myself, he is actually a good man

Aisha becomes pissed

AISHA

I just said that to buttress my point, I didn’t mean for you to make him the Chief Guard

ABDUL

I know but you are right, you make me remember that I still have a good man

AISHA

Omar is hardly a good man but are you telling me that there is no one else among your men that is suitable for the role

ABDUL

Of course there are but he fits the role more

AISHA

Even though he has anger issues?

ABDUL

You said it yourself, his anger can become a strong weapon

AISHA

That is if it is controlled

ABDUL

I can control Omar

AISHA

Abdul, I don’t want him

ABDUL

Because of your girls right?

AISHA

Yes or is that no good enough reason for you?

ABDUL

It is to you but isn’t to me

Aisha shouts in anger

AISHA

Abdul!

ABDUL

Okay, let make this deal, I will make him stay away from your girls

AISHA

And you think you can make him stay away?

ABDUL

Yes, I can

AISHA

I don’t just want him to stay away from my girls, I want him out of my way

ABDUL

Done

AISHA

He can’t interfere in my business

ABDUL

I said done

AISHA

You are going on a limp for this guy

ABDUL

That is because I need him

AISHA

Suit yourself

Aisha turns and walks away with a smirk on her face, Abdul shouts on the top of his voice

ABDUL

I promise I will make this up to you

With a huge smile still on her face, Aisha meets Omar on the way

OMAR

I thought I told you to stop seeing Abdul

AISHA

Young man, you don’t tell me what to do

Aisha walks past him into her gazebo where she sits on her mat

AISHA

What is the story?

OMAR

I was made the Chief Guard

AISHA

Good for you

OMAR

Nimah told me it was your doing

AISHA

Do you have a problem with that?

OMAR

I just want to ask why you will do this for me

Aisha scoffs

AISHA

For you? ….I may know what happens inside this palace but I don’t know what happens inside the Council hall. I need someone who will tell me what I need to know about the politics of Muyanku and this is where you come in. If you think for a second that I did this for you, then you are highly delusional

OMAR

Good to know

Omar starts to walk away

AISHA

Omar

Omar turns to face her as she stands up and walks to meet him

OMAR

Yes

AISHA

If you think because if you are now in a position of power and you feel the next best thing for you to do is betray me… I won’t think twice if you did betray me, I will bury you alive

OMAR

No need to threaten me, your ladies did plenty of that already

AISHA

Good to know we are on the same page

He walks out

Next on My Name is....

NIMAH

A boy my lady, you have another boy

AISHA

Let me see him
