IMADE

MICHEAL

IMADE
I miss studying with them, I miss Ann nagging me, I miss the sound of Wemimo’s laughter, I miss been with them
EPISODE 44
It is that simple
INT. INSIDE A CAR- NIGHT
Ann sits at
the backseat with the driver in the driver's seat. She puts her phone to her ear like she
is about to make a call
ANN
Hey Wemimo
WEMIMO
Do you have
any news about Imade?
ANN
Hello to
you too
WEMIMO
I am sorry,
how are you?
Ann hears the loud music at
the background of the call
ANN
I am fine,
that is loud, where are you?
WEMIMO
At a club
ANN
Club? Wow.
Lagos must be changing you or is Bintu?
WEMIMO
Actually
Banjo and Tolani took Bintu and I out as a reward for giving the best marketing
strategy for a project the company is pursuing
ANN
Oh! wow, that
is great, tell me about it
WEMIMO
Nothing
much to tell, as usual some company executive to act as judge, my colleagues
and blah blah blah. You get the jest now
ANN
It is nice
to see you and Banjo getting along
WEMIMO
Or more
like him bossing me, Queen was even at the seminar
ANN
Really?
WEMIMO
Yes and she
even complimented our work
ANN
Get out of
here
WEMIMO
I was
surprised at the compliment and was even more surprised at the fact that… at
heart, I was glad
Ann responds in a solemn
voice
ANN
You were
happy?
WEMIMO
I was not
expecting it, I saw a different side of her and to my surprise, I felt some
kind of warmth when she complimented me
ANN
I
understand how you feel…. You know you should be worshipping me. I am the
reason for this happening, I pushed you
WEMIMO
Abey, jo
Ann burst into laughter
WEMIMO
So what
about you? How does it feel like working for your dad?
ANN
Although I
am enjoying every part of it, I can’t help but feel sad… feel sad at the state
of Nigerian justice system.
WEMIMO
Is it that
bad?
ANN
Wemimo, a
lot of people are in jail for a crime they didn’t commit. They were just throw
in jail with no concrete evidence and majority of those that actually commit a
crime are still awaiting trial for more than five years now. My heart bleeds
for them
WEMIMO
If your
heart is bleeding for them, their situation must be really bad
ANN
It is
WEMIMO
In the
midst of all this, have you had time to prepare for exams, I heard it is
starting in two weeks
ANN
You know me
now, let the lecturer bring the questions from heaven, I was born prepared
WEMIMO
I trust you now, I just had to ask. Back to my
main question before you distracted me, any news about Imade
ANN
I am on my
way to her place
Wemimo raise his voice
WEMIMO
At this
time of the night, Ann, it is not right for you to walk this late alone with no one with you
ANN
Oga, calm
down, Ozo’s driver is driving me to her place, so I am not alone
WEMIMO
Why I am
still hearing that name?
ANN
Come on you
can’t just expect me to break up with him
WEMIMO
Yes, you
can. Ozo, our relationship is not a compatible relationship, we need to break
up. It is that simple, Ann
ANN
That man is
in love with me, I can’t just break his heart like that
WEMIMO
Do you know
whose heart will be broken if you don’t break his heart now? Yours, Ann. Your
heart will be broken when he leaves you with sick kids for another woman
ANN
That is
something only a Yoruba man will do
WEMIMO
Ann, this
is not a joke. This relationship shouldn’t have started in the first place but
I didn’t say anything because you were hurting over Kayode but this is getting
out of hand and you need to put an end to this
ANN
But…
WEMIMO
There is
not but, you are smarter than this Ann
ANN
Okay, okay,
okay. I will break up with him when I find someone else
WEMIMO
What? (He throws up one of his hand in confusion)
what is that suppose to change?
ANN
You know
have never been alone since junior school, I am not about to do that now, so I
will break up with him when I find someone else
WEMIMO
And what if you don’t find someone else?
ANN
You are
talking to Ann, I will….
WEMIMO
For your
sake, I hope that is true
ANN
Enough
about me, let talk about you. What are you going to do?
WEMIMO
About what?
ANN
About
Bintu, you obviously like her
WEMIMO
I don’t
like her like that
ANN
You like
her and we can argue like this all day
WEMIMO
Okay, maybe
she makes me forget about Imade when I am with her but I still have feeling for
Imade. Is it possible to love two people at the same time?
ANN
Yes, it is
possible, it is just that your feelings for one will be greater than the other
and if she is making you forget Imade already, I think….
WEMIMO
It is just
for a short while
ANN
It does not
matter, if she is making you forget Imade already, you can totally forget about
her if you date Bintu
WEMIMO
What makes
you think I want to forget about Imade?
ANN
Because she
is in love with Micheal and if she willing broke up with us because of Micheal,
she is not leaving him anytime soon. So you need to move on
WEMIMO
This is the
first time things are going in the direction that I like. I mean I have someone
I am starting to like and am getting the vibes that she might like me too and
also having a good relationship with my family. I don’t know about you but it
feels too good to be true
ANN
You deserve
it, we bastards deserve something good for once
The duo continue to talk and the car slows down, Ann comes out of the car.
Still with
the phone still on her ear, she walks to the front of Imade’s house where she
sees Micheal laughing with Imade while washing the kitchen utensils they used
for the evening’s business.
The smile
on her face fades away at the sight of these two. She just stands still
watching them while Wemimo talks away on the phone.
Imade
finally notices her and she called out her name with a smile on her face
IMADE
Ann!
Next on Why?
ANN
And whose
fault is that? You left us for him
IMADE
I said I
needed time to think
ANN
