Previously on My Name is....
AISHA
You didn’t tell me about it when I told you I want Muyanku destroyed instead you tried to talk me out of this, I hope you don’t have a change of heart about our escape tomorrow
OMAR
Of course not, I didn’t tell you because decimation is difficult to do
EMILY
You press a button and everything goes boom, I don’t see what is difficult in that
OMAR
It is not that easy, decimation needs the approval of the First man
EPISODE 87
INT. AISHA’S GAZEBO- NIGHT
Aisha sleeps on the bare floor close to the edge of her gazebo, watching the moon and next to her is opium powder in a container.
Emily walks in solemnly with a jug and a cup
EMILY
My lady!
Aisha sees Emily walks towards her meekly
AISHA
Who do we have here? My arrogant Chief servant who think she has more power than me
EMILY
I didn’t sa…..
Emily keeps shut as Aisha sits upright
AISHA
You were saying
EMILY
I am sorry for my past behavior, no matter how angry I was at situation, I never should have acted that way to you
Aisha smiles
AISHA
Come and sit, enjoy my treat with me
Aisha points to the opium next to her but Emily hesitate, Aisha senses this
AISHA
I can only let go if you get high with me
EMILY
Instead of that, how about this?
Emily raises the jug up and Aisha smiles
AISHA
Tea? That works too
Emily sits next to Aisha
EMILY
Have always wanted to get high too, tonight seems like the best night
She pours herself a cup and drinks it, after which she sighs heavily
AISHA
What is the sighing about?
EMILY
We have been talking about escaping for long time that I didn’t think it will happen and now we are finally leaving tomorrow, it feels like a dream
AISHA
I never saw it happening too, leaving tomorrow feels like a dream
Emily sighs again
AISHA
Why are you sighing so much this night?
EMILY
I don’t know what I am going to do after we leave tomorrow
AISHA
You don’t
Emily nods
EMILY
I don’t have the slightest idea on where to pick up my life and start to live again, my life was crappy before I was kidnapped anyway
AISHA
You never told me about your life before Muyanku
EMILY
That is because there is nothing to say…. And please don’t ask me, I have a face to save
Aisha brightly
AISHA
I won’t ask then but you are not alone…. My life before Muyanku was not exactly a good one either but....
Aisha reaches out to Emily and holds her hand
AISHA
We have each other, we will figure it out together
Emily looks touched
EMILY
I have missed this
AISHA
And that will be my fault, I should apologies for my past actions toward you too. Long before Omar and Nimah, when the escape plan was just jargons, you trusted and believed in me. Making you feel inferior was very wrong of me. I am very sorry
Emily smiles so brightly as water tear their way down her face
AISHA
Are you crying?
EMILY
No, it is the tea (she looks up at the sky) the moon is so beautiful, everything about Muyanku is ugly, how did they have a beautiful moon
AISHA
Yes, the moon is beautiful….. I never had any happy moment in Muyanku
EMILY
Me too….we should do something about that
Aisha smiles mischievously
AISHA
I have an idea but I am going to need Alice
INT. AISHA’S GAZEBO- NIGHT
Omar hurries into the gazebo to see Aisha
OMAR
You send for me
Aisha smiles mischievously as she walks towards Omar staggering. Omar notice this
OMAR
Are you okay?
Aisha holds his chin with her two hands
OMAR
You are high, aren’t you?
The smile on Aisha’s face disappears
AISHA
I hate you
OMAR
What?
AISHA
You are the reason why I am in Muyanku, you and your friend Saheed kidnapped me
Omar looks uncomfortable
OMAR
My lady, I a…
AISHA
But you are also the reason why I am leaving, so I am letting you off the hook
Aisha smiles mischievously
AISHA
I had to say that
OMAR
I underst…
Emily comes rushing in with Toba
EMILY
Why is the groom not dressed?
Omar looks confused
OMAR
The groom?
Aisha smiles brightly
AISHA
You are getting married
Toba picks the Agbada on the mat up and walks towards Omar
TOBA
The bride will be arriving soon, you need to dress up
Toba tries to dress him but he holds her
OMAR
Wait a minute, what is happening here?
AISHA
You are getting married
OMAR

OMAR
Yes I do but are we suppose to be doing this, I mean we are leaving tomorrow, we need to ensure our plans goes smoothly and not plan a wedding
TOBA
We don’t have time for this, the bride is coming
Aisha holds Omar’s hands and caresses it warmly
AISHA
I may have hated you Omar but I felt safe with you and I still do. Because you were my side, I knew I could anything. You have done everything I asked of you, let me do this for you
OMAR
I can get married after we leave Muyanku
AISHA
I want to see it happen, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow
OMAR
The First man….
EMILY
Abdul is not in Muyanku right now, don’t make him an excuse. You should get married and stop been a stubborn ass
TOBA
Please we want to see you get married
AISHA

Omar looks uncomfortable

AISHA
He is shy, Nimah please bring in the bride
The ladies all stands by the side while Omar stands in front. Alice dressed in a beautiful Ankara style with a veil on her head looking so beautiful
