Previously on Why?
IMADE
Wemimo is different, he and Ann are my family and I trust them with my life
MICHEAL
So this is what having childhood friends feels like?
IMADE
We are not childhood friends
MICHEAL
Really?
IMADE
Yeah, we met when I was a fresher, I was having a huge problem with my admission. Luckily for me, Wemimo and Ann were at the admission office, they helped me out and that was how we became friends
EPISODE 20
About the
date
EXT.
IMADE’S HOUSE-NIGHT
Wemimo is
seen pacing as he looks at the road waiting for Imade while Ann sits on the
bench taping her feet nervously
ANN
Do you
think she has been kidnapped, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
No, I don’t
think so
ANN
How can you
be so sure, I mean her phone is switched off? Have been to the library, she is
not even here. So how can you be sure that she is safe?
WEMIMO
I just know
that she is okay.... she has to be. She might have lost her phone, we both know
how careless Imade can be sometimes
Ann’s phone
rings and she quickly looks at it but hissed loudly while punching the end call button in anger
ANN
This man
should take a hunch and stop calling me
WEMIMO
I think you
should go
ANN
No
WEMIMO
I will stay
ANN
I am going
to stay here and see that she is alive
WEMIMO
Then at
least pick his call, you are suppose to spend the night with him but you are
no-show. If I am in his shoe, I will be worried
ANN
I will talk
to him when he calls again
Wemimo sees the worried look on
Ann’s face
WEMIMO
Ann…
ANN
If anything
happens to her, I won’t be able to live with myself. I am the reason she went
on that date
WEMIMO
Then we
know where to look for her should it come to that
ANN
You know if
the Omolojas really did something to her, we will never find out
WEMIMO
Let just
hope she is safe
ANN
Maybe I
should go back to school to look for her
WEMIMO
No…
Suddenly a
bright light from a car shines on them to the extent that they had to cover their eyes. The
car revives back though the way it came from and the intensity of the light
reduces letting them see Imade walking towards them. Relief flows through Ann
and Wemimo as they both walk up to meet her half way
ANN
Bitch, did
you eat your phone?
IMADE
Guys I am
so sorry, my phone died
WEMIMO
I thought
the date was suppose to be last for an hour, why are you just coming?
IMADE
When I got
here, I started designing…
WEMIMO
(confused)
Designing?
IMADE
Yeah,
someone needed a dress, so I help her out but in the process, I lost track of
time. You know how I lost myself when I am designing
ANN
When that
happened, you should have called us and let us know your whereabouts, why will
you act so irresponsibly? You had us so worried about you
IMADE
My phone
was died
WEMIMO
That is not
an excuse, Imade
Wemimo sees Madam Babade walking
towards them, then he quickly turns to Imade
WEMIMO
We told
your mom, you were at the library studying
ANN
So stick
with the story
Madam Babade talks from afar
MADAM
BABADE
Imade pada
si ibi to tin bo (go back to where you
are coming from)
The trio
looks alarmed, Imade walks towards her mom. Madam Babade looks very pissed as
she talks in a very loud angry voice
MADAM
BABADE
A ni ko pada
lo sibi to tin bo, abi eti eh dini (I
said go back to where you are coming from or are you deaf?)
IMADE
Maami, I am
sorry
MADAM
BABADE
Because I
remember telling you not to come back to my house at a late hour again. So bi
mose rii eh ye, ipako eh ni mofe ma wo, ma je ki ri e ninu ile mi (go back to where you are coming from and
don’t let me see you in my house)
Wemimo prostrate in the front of
Madam Babade with a pleasing look while Ann and Imade joins him on their knees
WEMIMO
Maami ejo,
iru eh oh ni pada waye mo (Mummy please,
such will never happen again)
MADAM
BABADE
I know she
is your friend and that you will always support her in everything but look at
your watch, look at the time your friend is coming back to my house. Ti ba
ranti dada (If I can remember) you
two were here the last time I warned this stupid girl never to come late to my
house again. Ko pada sibi to tin bo (go back to where you are coming from)
ANN
Library ni
oh Mummy, Library lo tin bo (It is the
library oh, she is coming from the library)
MADAM
BABADE
Anike, ode lo pemi ni? (Anike, do you take me for a fool?) I may be busy selling Akara over here but I could see everything that
was happening between you and Wemimo. Mo mo igba to lo si school lati lo wa (I knew when you went back to school to go
and look for her)
ANN
That is because
I didn’t search the library well and the reason why she was late was because
she forgot herself while designing
MADAM
BABADE
Designing, now the new story is that she
forgot herself while designing no longer while studying
ANN AND
WEMIMO
She was studying
and designing
MADAM
BABADE
Okay then
(turns to Imade) your friend are begging for you, even though they are lying
for you. I will let you go
The trio smiles in relief
MADAM
BABADE
But…
The trio looks at alert again
MADAM
BABADE
Bring out
your design sketch pad
IMADE
For what, Maami?
WEMIMO
Don’t
question her, bring it out
Imade
brings out the design sketch back and Madam points to the house
MADAM
BABADE
There is
kerosene inside that keg with a match box next to it. You are going to take
that book in your hand to that place and light it on fire
ANN AND
IMADE
What?
MADAM
BABADE
This is my
house and you are going to abide by my rules, so if designing is what will make
you act like a girl with no home training, I am going to kill it
ANN
But that is
unfa…
Wemimo covers Ann's mouth with his
hand
WEMIMO
Imade, what
are you waiting for? Burn it
Imade goes
to the front of the house dejectedly and burns the sketch pad. Madam Babade
waits until the book turns to ashes before she goes back inside
ANN
What a waste!
IMADE
Don’t sulk
ANN
What do you
mean by don’t sulk, that was a new sketch pad which means new designs. I
haven’t sew any of the designs
IMADE
I can draw
them again
Ann smiles brightly as she stands
up
ANN
Well, that
is a relief
WEMIMO
Ann, let go
Wemimo gets
his bag while Ann collects her purse from the table in front of the house
IMADE
Aren’t you
going to ask about the date?
Wemimo
walks towards Imade
WEMIMO
We can tell
from your facial expression that the date was good. We have a christening to
crash tomorrow, don’t be late.
He and Ann starts to walks away
IMADE
Aren’t you
going to ask about the details?
ANN
We don’t
need the details
Imade shouts with frustration
IMADE
But you
tell us about the details of your date
The duo
continues to walks away then suddenly, Wemimo stops and turns to Imade
WEMIMO
Imade
IMADE
What? You
want to hear about the details now
Wemimo talks with a serious
expression
WEMIMO
Today will be the last day we lie to Maami for you
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
This can’t
happen again
The duo looks at Imade with an
intense serious expression
ANN
Imade, why
are you looking so dumbfounded? We expect an okay answer from you. This can’t
happen again
IMADE
Okay
Imade watch her friends walk into
the darkness of the night
Next on Why?
WEMIMO
Don’t get sucked in Imade, you will only get hurt
IMADE
You think I
don’t know that
ANN
Oh! you do?
Because that is not what I am seeing, before me sits a woman in love with a man
that can never marry her
