Previously on Why?
IMADE
But I don’t think you should be with Ozo
WEMIMO
Come on Imade, leave it alone
ANN
Goodness me
IMADE
What I am trying to say is that if she is going to move on, she should do that with someone she is compatible with. I mean what if she falls in love with him
EPISODE 11
A way to fix this
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
Imade walks
into the living room and walks straight to the dining room. She pour water from
a jug on the table and into a rubber cup which she drinks almost immediately.
She turns
back to leave when she sees Bankole sleeping on his book with a lantern in
front of his sleeping head. She walks towards him and taps him on his shoulder
IMADE
Bankole,
Bankole
BACK TO PRESENT
INT. BANKOLE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
Jo taps a
husband, calling his name loudly
JO
Bankole,
Bankole
Bankole
wakes up and stretches his body. He looks around his study which is stocked
with different books on the shelf. He looks at the documents and laptop opened
his front of him on his table
JO
If you were
feeling sleepily, why didn’t you come in?
BANKOLE
I was
reading through some document, I didn’t know when I slept off
JO
Come in and
sleep
She attempts to close the laptop
and documents but Bankole stops her
BANKOLE
I have to
finish reading this before I see the witnesses in the morning
JO
You are
tried, you have been overworking yourself. You should come and sleep
BANKOLE
We don’t
have much time
JO
Someone
else will defend your sister if you die today, come in and sleep
BANKOLE
I am almost
through
JO
Come in and
sleep for two hours, I promise to wake you up before 5 am
BANKOLE
I am
actually tried
JO
Then come
in and sleep
BANKOLE
You promise
to wake me up by 4.30
JO
I promise
BANKOLE
Okay then
Jo attempts to pack the document
but Bankole stops her
BANKOLE
I will do
it myself, go on, I will join you
JO
If I don’t
see you in two minutes, I will be back
BANKOLE
Okay
Jo leaves
while Bankole just shuts his laptop down. As he arranges the document into a
file, he mistakenly knocks off a picture frame on the table.
He goes
around the table and to pick the picture frame but it was already broken. His
expression turns to a painful one when he see a picture of the younger self
Imade, Wemimo and Ann snuggling into each other with bright smile on their face
He picks up
the picture and hot tears tears its way down his eyes as he looks at the
picture with pain in his eyes.
JO
Bankole why
are…..
She keeps
quiet when she sees him in a sad state. She walks towards him and sees the
picture in his hand
JO
Bankole, you…
BANKOLE
I used to
be so jealous of their friendship so bad that I tried so hard to have what they
had. They were so close, how could this happen to them?
JO
How about
we get your sister out and we will find a way to fix them
BANKOLE
With all
that have happened, I don’t know if there is anything left to fix. When she
needed their help the most, they turned their backs on her. I don’t think I can
fix anything
He looks at the picture again
FLASHBACK
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE- EVENING
Imade and
Ann clings to both sides of Wemimo who carry a birthday cake with a birthday
cap on his head like Bankole’s picture. A younger Bankole snaps them with an
old camera, while Madam Babade watches them from afar with a smile on her face
as she prepares for evening’s business
BANKOLE
Say cheers
The trio opens their teeth and
smiles as Bankole snaps them
BANKOLE
I like
that, one more
WEMIMO
That is
enough
He drops
the cake on the table and removes the cap from his head
WEMIMO
We have
taken like bazillion pictures already
ANN
Don’t tell
me you are going to waste my cake
WEMIMO
Waste it? I
am going to eat out of it
IMADE
Not
snapping plenty pictures with a birthday cake means wasting it
ANN
Exactly
WEMIMO
I didn’t
ask for it
Imade cuts a piece of the cake and
hands it to Wemimo
WEMIMO
I need a
plate
IMADE
Abey eat
She forces the cake into his hands
and he proceeds to eat it like that
ANN
You can’t
exactly expect me to let your birthday go without proper celebration
He finishes the cake in his hand as
Bankole calls them again
BANKOLE
Say cheers
WEMIMO
Enough of
the pictures
ANN
Don’t be a
vibe killer
She pulls him to herself and clings
to him
ANN
Imade, join
in
Imade drops
the knife on the cake and joins without hesitation, she also clings to Wemimo’s
other side
IMADE
With a
smile on your face, birthday boy
Bankole
snaps the picture and this time, he snaps the exact the picture with the older
Bankole
WEMIMO
Let go to
school, we were suppose to start studying at 1 and now it is already to 4. Let
go
He walks
away as Imade and Ann helps themselves to small pieces of the cake
IMADE
Let go,
Wemimo has left us
ANN
Bankole,
keep the cake, don’t eat everything
BANKOLE
Your wish
is my command
They both run to meet Wemimo
Next on Why?
ANN
I told you
we can’t crash a rich man’s party
IMADE
Why not, we
can’t exactly eat well cooked chicken at a poor man’s party
ANN
What if
someone recognize us at this party? We have a face to save
