EPISODE 9
Aperry!
EXT. A
STREET IN IBADAN- EARLY HOURS OF THE MORNING
A large
crowd stands in different queue before a borehole station with different
buckets all waiting to fetch water and in one of this queue is Bankole and
Wemimo who are also waiting to fetch water with their buckets.
WEMIMO
How long
are we going to wait for?
BANKOLE
We don’t
know, we usually wait until the person with the key to the tap comes
WEMIMO
And who is
this person wasting people’s time?
Bankole
opens his mouth to talk when some group of men walk to the borehole station
BANKOLE
They are
here
Wemimo
turns and sees some able bodied men with hard faces walking to the front of the
crowd. Some of them are carrying big sticks, while some sag their trouser, some
of them bounces on their feet
A man who is opposite to the
rest of the people in body shape walk to the pavement where the taps are
located. He is fair in complexion, slim, of average height and he appears to be
a man in his thirties
WEMIMO
Who are
these men?
BANKOLE
They are
the shakers and movers of our getto
WEMIMO
They look
like street thugs to me
BANKOLE
That is
what they are, that is Aperry, their leader
He points to the slim man
who is now smoking. He smiles at the people
APERRY

Aperry speaks with a hard
and deep voice

come for a fight, if you pay my money, there will be no fight. I don’t want to
hear that I will pay you tomorrow because I will slap you. I will slap you and
you will become deaf. I no send anybody oh, I go slap you that hard that your
dead father and mother in heaven go dey cry for you. So, pay my money. Boys, I
don’t have time for this, why are you all acting like fools, start working)
The boys
all move closer to him as he talks to the first person on the line
APERRY
Oyan,
Morufu, owo e da (Morufu, where is your
money?)
The young boy gives him the
wads of dirty money in his hand.
APERRY

Aperry moves to the next
person on the line, Wemimo watch this with a frown on his face
WEMIMO
But why is
he in control of the water?
BANKOLE
The
borehole got spoilt and we sent message to the ministry in charge to
repair it but no one came. So Aperry repaired it and since then, we have been
paying for water
Aperry gets to them
APERRY
Omo iya
Alakara, iwo oh e ti jo owo mi (You don’t usually owe me money)
Bankole gives him the money
and he looks at Wemimo
WEMIMO

His boys get angry at
Wemimo’s reply
SNIPER
Eleyi o de

KOMO

him, he is friends with Banky’s elder sister and that rude sexy lady)
He smiles to Wemimo and
moves past him
APERRY
Turayo, owo e da (Turayo, where is your money?)
Wemimo watch him continue
with his money collection before he carry his bucket to fetch water

Wemimo looks surprise
WEMIMO
Alejo? (A
guest?) This early morning? Who?
Why do you
hate your family this much?
WEMIMO
I don’t
hate my family
IMADE
Then why
are you not using your father’s name?
If you remember, I said earlier on that new characters will be added to this story and one of these new characters is APERRY. if this is a korean drama series and if I was made the casting director, the actor I will be choosing for this role will be Lee Tae-Sung. The first movie i saw him was in Playful Kiss where he acted as Bong Ju Gun, a man who had a unrequited love for the character, Oh Ha ni and since then, he has acted in other drama series like Rooftop Prince, Golden Garden, A Thousand Affection, Ghost Doctor, Penthouse 3, the recently concluded Why her and many more. I see Lee Tae-Sung bringing fire to the character APERRY.
As you can tell, Aperry is a thug. What will his role be in this story? Why is he significant? If you are curious, Stick to dramacourt. Also, let me know what you think about Aperry in the comment section.
