EPISODE 4
Little Monster
INT. HOSPITAL- LATE MORNING
Ann runs
through the corridors of the hospital until she gets to the waiting room where
there are pregnant women waiting for a consultation with the doctor. A nurse
walks to Ann and talks to her with a huge scowl on her face
NURSE
This is a
hospital, you can’t be running around
ANN
I am so
sorry, it is just that I didn’t want to miss the appointment
NURSE
You are
pregnant?
ANN
No, a
friend of mine is. I am suppose to be here with her
HEAD NURSE
(Smiles) A good
friend, what is her name?
ANN
Imade
Babade… I mean Imade Arotile
The nurse picks the book on the
counter and looks through it
NURSE
I don’t
have a Imade Babade or Imade Arotile
ANN
What? She
told me she was coming to this hospital
The nurse looks through the list again
NURSE
No one with
that name but I do have Imade King
Ann looks surprised
ANN
Imade King?
NURSE
Yes, do you
know her?
ANN
That should
be my friend
NURSE
She is with
the doctor already, you can enter
The nurse points to the door next
to Ann
ANN
Thank you
ma’am…. Imade King, that is interesting
Ann
chuckles and enters the room where she sees Imade on the bed with a male doctor
putting his stethoscope on Imade’s flat belly to hear the child’s heartbeat.
Imade
smiles when she sees Ann
IMADE
Ann!
ANN
Hey, I am
so sorry for coming late. When you called me, I was in a deposition with my
dad. Finding a good excuse to leave and getting a cab to get here took time. I
am sorry for coming late
IMADE
You are
here now, that is all that matters
Ann drops
her bag on the chair next to her before moving closer to Imade and the doctor
ANN
So doctor,
how is our little monster?
IMADE
Little
monster?
ANN
Yes, only
little monsters changes people’s lives. This monster changed our lives
IMADE
I don’t see
your life changing
ANN
Look at me,
I am an aunt with a gynaecologist. Never in my life did I think I will get to
see a gynaecologist before I get to defend my first case in the court
Imade laughs
ANN
So doctor,
how is the baby?
The doctor puts his stethoscope
round his neck
DOCTOR
The baby is
fine and your friend is fine too
ANN
That is
great
DOCTOR
But I
implore you to take your diet seriously and eat well. Do you still remember the
food you are to be eating?
IMADE
Yes, take a
lot of vegetable and I think fruit too
ANN
(Scoffs)You
think?
IMADE
I mean
there are lots of food, but I definitely remember vegetables
DOCTOR
Okay, wait
here and let get you the diet pamphlet
IMADE
Thank you,
doctor
As the
doctor leave, Imade sits up to clean the jelly on her belly, then she adjusts
her clothes and faces Ann
IMADE
Thank you
so much for coming, I know things has been awkward between us lately
ANN
It is fine,
it is about time, I let little monster know his or her aunt
IMADE
Please stop
calling the baby that
ANN
Have you
chosen a name for the baby?
IMADE
No
ANN
Then little
monster stays until you do (sigh deeply) is everything okay?
IMADE
(With a
smile) Yes
ANN
I mean with
you and Wemimo?
IMADE
There is
nothing to tell because he left right after the wedding
ANN
He just
left?
IMADE
Yes and I
am glad he did
ANN
You are
happy your husband did not consummate the wedding
IMADE
I mean, I
am with Micheal’s baby, isn’t that a taboo?
ANN
That is
true…. but Imade, this baby does not belong to Micheal anymore
IMADE
What?
ANN
(A scowl
appears on her face) The moment you married Wemimo, this baby became his
IMADE
Of course
ANN
But you
still call it Micheal’s baby, it is like you are expecting him to come back
right
IMADE
Of course
not, why will you say that?
Ann sighs
deeply as she sits next to Imade on the bed and holds her hand
ANN
As your
friend, let me tell you this, you are very lucky to have Wemimo as your
husband, why? Because that man will do everything in his power to make you
happy. You are bonded to him for life, for your own sake, you should find
happiness with him
Imade looks away and sighs lightly
ANN
And thank
you for using King as your last name
IMADE
It is his
name, there is no need to thank me
ANN
Wemimo does
not believe so. He will try to make you drop the name, don’t give in. As his
friend, I will do everything in my power to bring his family back to him
IMADE
That will
be great, I feel guilty actually. It is my fault things went bad for him and his
family. If you need any help with that, I will be happy to help
ANN
Since we
are saying our feeling right now, let me tell you this too as Wemimo’s friend
IMADE
Okay
ANN
If you hurt
him, I will destroy you
IMADE
Your joke
is becoming scary
The smile on Ann’s face disappears
ANN
I am not
joking, if you hurt him, I swear to God, I will destroy you
Imade senses her seriousness
IMADE
He has done
a lot for me, I won’t hurt him
ANN
I have a
feeling you will and that is why I am telling you this
IMADE
I won’t hurt
him, I promise
Ann smiles
ANN
For your
sake, I hope you are right
The doctor comes in and stretches
the pamphlet to Imade
DOCTOR
There you
go and you are free to go
Imade collect the pamphlet from him
and puts it in her bag
IMADE
Thank you,
doctor
Ann talks to Imade’s stomach with a
smile on her face
ANN
So little
monster, do you want ice cream?
Imade looks
at Ann in confusion as she act as if the baby is talking to her
IMADE
What are
you doing?
ANN
Shsssh….
Okay, you want ice cream, Aunty Anike promise to get you one
IMADE
Aunty

ANN
Yes and
only little monster is allowed to call me that
IMADE
This baby
is really bringing changes
Ann smiles
ANN
Let go
