EPISODE 76

INT. LUNA’S ROOM- EVENING

Aisha walks into the room where she see the ailing Luna lying on the bed with her nurse daughter urging her to eat

AISHA

She is not eating?

The nurse looks back to see Aisha and she stands immediately to show her respect

NURSE

My lady

Aisha moves closer to the Luna’s bed. She sees the weak, thin woman on the bed

AISHA

Since when has she been like this?

NURSE

For a while now, I just wish she will eat

Aisha bends next to the bed

AISHA

You should eat my lady

The Luna looks at her weakly, then she touches Aisha’s hand

LUNA

Amira!

Aisha looks surprise

NURSE

Mother, she is the First lady and not sister

LUNA

I am so sorry for letting you die like that, I am so sorry for leaving you to die like a coward

Aisha looks as the Luna with pity as tears flows from her tears to the bed

NURSE

Mother, she is n…

Aisha taps the nurse

AISHA

It is fine

LUNA

The job of a mother is to protect her child at any cost, I am sorry I failed at that

Aisha puts her other hand on the Luna’s hand, as she tries to comfort her. Aisha looks at the nurse

AISHA

You can go, I will make her eat

The nurse looks worried

NURSE

It might be hard for you, can you handle her?

AISHA

Yes, you can go

The nurse drops the tray of food on the stool next to Aisha and she leaves.

Aisha gently removes the Luna’s hand from hers and picks up the tray of food. She takes the tray to the table at the far end of the room.

Aisha looks back at the Luna with pain

AISHA (voiceover)

I am so sorry Amira, but I have to do this

She looks back at the food as she removes a small bottle from the helm of her cloth. She puts a drop of the bottle’s content into the food before mixing the food together.

Aisha carries the food back to the Luna’s bed with the same bottle in her hand, she gently taps the Luna and the Luna opens her eyes to see Aisha

LUNA

First lady, you are here

AISHA

Why are you not eating? Your daughter is so worried about you. I promised her I will make you eat, so you should eat a little

Luna raise her hand up for Aisha to help her sit which Aisha did. She looks at Aisha and smiles sadly

LUNA

You are amazing

Aisha smiles softly

AISHA

What?

LUNA

I thought by now, you will be died for sure but there you are, the most powerful woman in Muyanku

AISHA

Why will you say that, you are the most powerful woman in Muyanku

LUNA

Even when I was healthy, I didn’t have the kind of power you possess now

AISHA

Everything is due to Amira, you should eat

The Luna eats three spoon before looking at Aisha with a smile on her face

LUNA

Thank you for ending my suffering

AISHA

What?

The Luna points to the small bottle in Aisha’s hand. Fear engulfs Aisha

LUNA

You must be so nervous for you to forget that in your hand

AISHA

I am so sorry

The Luna continues to eat but Aisha stops her

AISHA

If you knew I was trying to kill you, why did you eat it?

LUNA

Ever since Amira died, I have lost the will to live

AISHA

I am so sorry

LUNA

Stop been sorry, you actually doing me a favour....helping me die instead of suffering

AISHA

I am sorry but we need you died, I need you died to escape Muyanku

Luna sighs and she points to the cupboard directly behind Aisha

LUNA

Open that and bring the book in it, bring the pen next to it too

Aisha stands up to do as she was told

LUNA

You will see the vase in here, bring it too

Aisha brings the book, pen and vase to the Khan. Aisha sits on the stool as the Luna collect the pen and starts to write in the book before passing it to Aisha

AISHA

What is this?

LUNA

In here is the address of my parent’s house, when it is time to leave, you should give it to my daughters

AISHA

My lady

LUNA

I don’t know if my parents will still be here but it is a start....and inside that vase contains Amira’s ashes

Aisha looks surprise

AISHA

My lady

LUNA
