Previously on Why?
JO
You know, you and your sister are not exactly different, she spent her whole life pleasing her husband, doing what he wants and you are doing exactly the same thing, pleasing a woman who is not even yours
BANKOLE
That is not fair
JO
Maybe but I am right. That woman stole your dream from you, if she had helped your sister two years ago, you would be a named partner now and not fighting an impossible case. If she loved you, she won’t try to make you turn your back on your sister. She has been using you all your life, stop mistaking that for devotion
EPISODE 2
I was a King
FLASHBACK
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE- EVENING
Bankole
brings out the pots and bowls needed for the evening business as Wemimo talks
to Madam Babade with a small travelling bag on his shoulder.
MAAMI
Alright
then, safe journey
WEMIMO
Before I
go…
Wemimo
brings out a mildly large wads of money from his pocket and hands it to Madam
Babade. Madam Babade smiles when she sees this as she holds Wemimo’s hands and
caress it gently
MAAMI
I am a very
lucky woman to have you as a son but…. Emi o le gba eleyii(I can’t take this?)
Wemimo presses
WEMIMO
It is for
Imade and the baby
Madam Babade sighs deeply
MAAMI
Mo mope
ohun se baba omo Imade(I know you are not
the father of Imade’s child), giving your name to her bastard is more than
enough
WEMIMO
Omo ye ohun
se omo ale ma, oni baba. Emi(That baby is
not a bastard ma, this baby has a father… me)
MAAMI
I
understand that you want to take responsibility for Imade and her baby, you
don’t have too. Omo ile iwe sii ni e, mi o le nipe koma toju Imade, ma se yii
fun rara mi. Olorun to fun mi ni agbara lati le toju Imade ati aburo eh, ma fun
mi agbara lati le toju omo eh na (You are
still a student, I can’t ask you to take care of Imade, I will do that myself.
The lord that has given me the power to take care of Imade and her brother will
give me the power to take of her baby too)
WEMIMO
Imade is no
longer your responsibility anymore, it is mine now, ejo e jeki toju ehh (please let me take care of her)
MAAMI
O ma le fun
eh, Wemimo (it will be hard for you,
Wemimo)
WEMIMO
Mo mo ye (I know that) but I will work hard for
my family, please take the money
MAAMI
Okay then
Madam Babade takes the money
MAAMI
Like I
said, I am proud to be your mother
Wemimo brings out another smaller
wads of money
MAAMI
Ewo tu niye
wa fun? (What is that one for too?)
WEMIMO
That one is
for household expense, this is for Imade
MAAMI
Mo ro pe o
so pe ti Imade ni ye (I thought you said
that one is for Imade)
Wemimo looks like he got telling a
lie
MAAMI
Actually
that one is for the baby
Madam Babade smiles
MAAMI
Nnkan to se
ye mi, bo se so (I understand what you
are trying to do, like you said) Imade and the baby is your responsibility,
don’t worry about me and Bankole, I will take care of us, so keep that money
for yourself. Ma fun Imade lele yii (I
will give Imade this) infact, iwo loye ko fun Imade lowo yii (You are suppose to be giving Imade this
money and not me)
WEMIMO
Things are
a little awkward between us right now
MAAMI
Toripe e gbe papo ni (That is because you two are not living together)
WEMIMO
We can’t
exactly live together right now
MAAMI
I
understand Imade got you into this mess, so do your part and ma de ro e lowo ni
gbogbo ona (And I promise you to help you
in everyway)
WEMIMO
Ese ma (Thank you ma)
MAAMI
Safe
journey
Maami leaves as Wemimo pockets the
second wad of money Madam Babade returned and he walks past Ann who walks towards
him
ANN
Seriously,
are you going to act like you didn’t see me?
WEMIMO
Yes
He keeps walking as Ann walks
behind him
ANN
I came to
the wedding
WEMIMO
And so
what?
ANN
It means I
have accepted you two as one
WEMIMO
Like we
need your blessing
ANN
I said I am
sorry
Wemimo
stops and turns to her, he waits till she is standing in front of him
WEMIMO
How did you
even know that I am here?
ANN
Your uncle
told me that you are going back to Lagos today, so I figured that before you
go, you will likely to say goodbye to your…. New family
WEMIMO
You hurt
me, Ann
ANN
I should
have trusted your judgement
WEMIMO
It is not
even about you trusting my judgement, it is about you going over my head to my
family because I won’t do what you want. I thought it was us against them,
finding out that it was me against you and my family broke my heart…. You
betrayed me, Ann
Ann looks remorseful
ANN
How can I
fix it? How can I fix us?
WEMIMO
Keep on an
eye on Imade, that is how you fix us?
ANN
Oh! Come on
WEMIMO
Then I
guess I should go
But before he takes a step forward,
Ann holds him back
ANN
Okay, fine
WEMIMO
Not just
keep an eye on her, you play with her, you go out with her
ANN
Okay
WEMIMO
Study with
her
ANN
Okay
WEMIMO
Eat with
her, just like old times
ANN
I said okay
WEMIMO
Good
He turns to leave then Ann follows
him
ANN
Is it okay
for you to go back to The Company after all that happened?
WEMIMO
Only Bintu
knows I am a King….I was a King. The Chairman can’t just throw me out of The
Company, so it will be fine to finish my IT there
ANN
Speaking of
Bintu, how are you going to face her?
WEMIMO
Thank you
ruining that for me too
ANN
I thought
she could stopped the wedding, so I told her
WEMIMO
Yes, your
thinking is always dragging the rug out from under my leg, you denied me the
opportunity to have a clean break without drama
ANN
I thought…
my thinking is not relevant anymore
WEMIMO
Exactly
ANN
But what
are you going to do about her, she must be so heartbroken and pissed…
definitely
WEMIMO
I don’t
know but I will find a way, I always do- but Ann, don’t ever do this to me
again
ANN
I won’t, I
promise
WEMIMO
Come on, I
missed you
Wemimo drags Ann into a hug
ANN
I missed
you too
They disengage
WEMIMO
Now, I need
to go
They both walk away
BINTU
The first
time I wanted to give love a chance, I got burnt
WEMIMO
What can I
do to fix this?
BINTU
Divorce her
and come back to me. It is not too late
