Previously on Why?
With a little change, I am sure I will be the daughter in law you want. All I just want is to be with Micheal
MADAM OMOLOJA
I am sorry but that is not going to happen
IMADE
I am not giving my child to another woman to raise
MADAM OMOLOJA
The alternative to that is to abort the baby
EPISODE 64
Abortion is
a sin
INT. OZO’S CAR-IN THE DEAD OF THE
NIGHT
Ann drives through
the major road of Ibadan with Wemimo beside her and Imade crying her heart out
at the back seat. A car passes beside them like once in twenty minutes. A pissed Ann looks at a whimpering Imade at the backseat
ANN
That your whimpering is starting to get on my nerves, kindly stop doing that
WEMIMO
Ann, please don't
ANN
What do you mean by don't, what is crying going to solve?
WEMIMO
Still, don't
ANN
I
personally think abortion is the best option
Wemimo turns to Ann with a stern look
WEMIMO
Not now,
Ann
ANN
I am just
voicing my opinion
WEMIMO
Nobody
asked for it
Imade suddenly places her hand on her mouth and bangs the back of Wemimo’s seat hard, then he looks at her
WEMIMO
What is it?
She turns to talk but only loud
murmur is heard
WEMIMO
Stop the
car Ann, I think she wants to puke
ANN
What?
WEMIMO
Stop the
car for God’s sake, Ann
Ann pumps
the brake suddenly and Wemimo’s head hits the windscreen
WEMIMO
Seriously, Ann
ANN
You asked
me to stop the car
Imade runs out of the car and barely
made it to the roadside before the content in her stomach forces its way out of
her mouth to the ground. Wemimo runs to her and pats her back
WEMIMO
You are
okay
Ann runs to meet them
ANN
Is she
okay?
WEMIMO
Yes but
bring the bottled water from the car
ANN
Okay
Ann runs to the car and comes back
with a bottled water which she hands to Wemimo. Imade washes her mouth and face
with the water before drinking some.
WEMIMO
You are
okay
IMADE
Thank you
Wemimo helps her up
IMADE
I feel
terrible
WEMIMO
It is
normal, you are pregnant but you will be okay, I promise you
Ann claps her hands to call their
attention
ANN
Hey, you two
before you start playing house
WEMIMO
What is it,
Ann?
ANN
Imade, what
are you going to do about your situation?
Imade sighs deeply
IMADE
I don’t
know
ANN
I suggest
you terminate the baby
Imade sighs in despair
WEMIMO
I pretty sure you heard me say no one asked for your opinion
Ann ignores Wemimo
ANN
You only
have two choices, Imade, you let the Omolojas take the baby or you terminate. Letting
another woman raise your baby is cruel, even for me, so I suggest you get rid
of it
IMADE
Abortion is
a sin
ANN
And
fornicating is not… I know you are scared and I understand but think of your
future, think of school. You are not in the position to cater for a baby, think
of your poor mother. She struggled hard every day to provide for you and your
brother, now a baby, do you want to kill her?
IMADE
I
understand what you are saying but I can’t
Ann looks frustrated
ANN
So what?
you want to have the baby and marry Wemimo, is that it?
Imade looks confused
IMADE
Who is
talking about marrying Wemimo?
ANN
I am sure
you already already thinking about it even since the idiot volunteered to be the father
of your bastard
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
Ann, I am right here, stop this
ANN
You are
going to get rid of that baby because I am not going to let you destroy his
life along with yours
Wemimo becomes angry and he
shouts at Ann
WEMIMO
Ann, I said
stop
ANN
Show her
WEMIMO
Show her
what?
ANN
The package
Micheal gave to you to give her
WEMIMO
Now is not
the time to do that
ANN
So, when is
the god damn time?
Wemimo walks to Ann with a
stern look
WEMIMO
Don’t start
with me, Ann
Ann hiss and pushes him out
of the way. She walks to the car while Wemimo helps Imade
IMADE
What is she
talking about?
WEMIMO
It is
nothing to worry yourself about
Wemimo then sees Ann walking
back with the envelope Micheal gave to him. He looks furious and leave Imade to
go wrestle the envelope with her
WEMIMO
Ann, leave
it alone
ANN
Like hell I
am, Imade, Micheal said to give it to you
IMADE
What is it?
ANN
It is your
birthday gift but he couldn’t give it to you, so he asked Wemimo to be the
messenger
IMADE
Wemimo, is
that true?
Wemimo refuse to answer
ANN
The lady
asked you a question
WEMIMO
(Reluctantly)
yes
IMADE
Let me have
it please
Ann
releases it and Wemimo gives it to Imade who opens it immediately
IMADE
What is
this?
ANN
He sent
your designs to a school in Paris and you got a scholarship to study fashion
designing as a career
Imade looks surprise as
water gathers itself in Imade’s eyes
IMADE
He did?
ANN
Yes, he
loved you that much
Imade smiles as tears find
its way down her eyes
IMADE
I got a
scholarship abroad (faces Wemimo) why didn’t you tell me?
WEMIMO
I was going
to, then you got sick
IMADE
I am not
sick anymore, you could have told me while we were waiting for Micheal’s parent
WEMIMO
I didn’t
want it to be a factor when making your decision about the baby, I wanted you to make a decision
based on what you want, what you feel is good for you and not on what Micheal want you
to be or what Ann wants you to do or anyone. I want you to do you
ANN
I oppose
that, I believe you should make your decision taking into consideration of
every factor involve. Do you even know what going to school in Paris will do
for you? With your talent, you can become a renowned fashion designer but that
is only going to happen if you abort that baby inside you. You don’t have to bring
your life to a standstill because of an unwanted baby, you don’t have to destroy
Wemimo’s life because of your mistake
Imade sighs
deeply as she brings out the cheque in the envelope
IMADE
He gave you
this too
WEMIMO
It is yours, that will be your living expenses in Paris
IMADE
It is a lot
of money
ANN
You can
abort the baby from it and still have more than enough to take care of yourself
when you are in Paris… you can leave the slum and become someone else but it
starts from you taking the necessary step
Iamde looks at Wemimo
IMADE
What should
I do?
WEMIMO
I am not
going to tell you what to you, whatever you decide to do, I will stand by you.
If you want to abort the baby and go to Paris, I will support you. If you want
to give the baby to the Omolojas’, I will cheer you on. If you want to raise the
baby as a single mother, I will be with you every step of the way but you
have to do you
Imade rubs the tears in her
eyes away
IMADE
I need
sometime to myself
ANN
That was
what you said the last time when you were leaving us
Imade yells emotionally
IMADE
I am not… I
am not leaving you guys. This is about my life, my baby, my fucking future, I
just... i just need time to think. So give me space
WEMIMO
Your mother
does not want you at home, where will you go?
IMADE
Somewhere
safe
Imade walks away
WEMIMO
Come back
here, where are you going?
He attempts to go after her
but is stopped by Ann
WEMIMO
What are you
doing? Get out of my way
ANN
No, I am not
WEMIMO
What is
wrong with you? It is dangerous for her to out here by herself at this time of
the night
ANN
It is 4am
in the morning, she will be fine
WEMIMO
Leave my
way
ANN
Why didn’t
you tell her about Paris?
WEMIMO
I believe I
said the reason already
ANN
That is not
the reason, you see this as a reason to get back with her right
WEMIMO
You are
delusional, highly delusional
He gently
pushes her out of his way and starts to look for Imade
WEMIMO
Imade, where
are you? Come back here, it is late
ANN
Come back
here, Wemimo
She runs after him
WEMIMO
You have
been missing for three weeks Imade and you were here the whole time?
IMADE
Yes
WEMIMO
Have been
calling your phone, all I get is switch off, do you know how worried I was? How
worried your mother is? What exactly is your problem?
IMADE
Maami was
worried?
WEMIMO
Of course
she is, no matter how great your sins are, you are still her daughter
