Previously on Why?
ANN
I didn’t say you should change her, she makes decisions like a boss unlike you
IMADE
You two should stop fighting
WEMIMO
This is not over
ANN
I think it is, you can never find a better name than KINGS
EPISODE 18
Thank you, Wemimo
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE- IN THE DEAD OF
THE NIGHT
Inside
their bedroom, Imade sits on the bed with a blanket covering her lower torso as
she studies a course handout. She looks at the clock which is says 1.23am. She
places the handout on the bed and moves to stands up when Wemimo comes in with
a small towel on his neck
He wears a
thin white vest with budge trouser and using the small towel to clean the water
on his head and face
IMADE
I was
coming to look for you, I thought you were kidnapped
He smiles at her
WEMIMO
Sorry, I am
just so tired
IMADE
I am sorry
about today
WEMIMO
About what?
IMADE
KINGS, the
label…. Ann
WEMIMO
It is fine,
you made the decision as the boss
IMADE
I don’t
have to be, hell I don’t want to be. You have no idea how scary it was to
choose between you and Ann
WEMIMO
And yet you
still make a rational decision and that makes you a good boss.
IMADE
I still
believe you should be the boss, this is your baby
Wemimo sits on the table
WEMIMO
You mean
our baby, KINGS or whatever the name is, is in existence because of you. You
gave me the inspiration
IMADE
And yet you
do all the work
WEMIMO
You do the
most important one, it is only fair that you are the boss
He picks the mat from under
the bed and proceed to spreads it on the floor
IMADE
Come to the
bed
WEMIMO
Hmmm
IMADE
I said come
to the bed
WEMIMO
Don’t worry
about me
IMADE
I am not a
bad person, so don’t make me one. You have been working with your head bent
since morning. I am sure your body must be aching you
WEMIMO
I don’t
want to make you uncomfortable
IMADE
I
understand that but how long are you going to keep sleeping on the floor?
WEMIMO
I was
thinking till we get our own place, so we can both have different room
IMADE
Till then,
come and sleep on the bed
Wemimo
folds the mat together and goes to sleep on the bed. He moans in relief when
his head touches the pillow
WEMIMO
This
actually feels good
IMADE
You are
welcome
Wemimo closes his eyes
IMADE
After
tomorrow, what is your plan?
Wemimo opens his eyes again
WEMIMO
What plan?
IMADE
For Kings,
after you deliver the dresses to your sister tomorrow, what next for KINGS?
WEMIMO
I don’t
know. I need to pay Aunty Bebii and Shehu their balance, wire some money to
Bintu and get something for Ann. Even though, she is devious and cunning, she
came through for me big time
IMADE
I meant
what happens to KINGS next? What is your next plan for what you started?
WEMIMO
You mean what we
started?
IMADE
(Smiles softly) What we
started
WEMIMO
I don’t
know but as for us, we prepare for school
Imade smiles as she looks
Wemimo
IMADE
Yeah
school, final year right?
WEMIMO
Yeah final
year
IMADE
There is a
chance that I will give birth during my IT
WEMIMO
That is
great, you will be able to take care of yourself and the baby
IMADE
I just miss
our old life, where we just study and crash parties
WEMIMO
We can
still study together but I don’t know about crashing parties. I might have to
pick up some private lesson job…. Why are you not asking about your share? I am
paying everybody, why are you not asking for yours?
IMADE
You have
done a lot for me, I won’t mind designing for you all my life for free
WEMIMO
After
paying all expenses, the profit we get is small, so I figured that we can use
it to pay our school fees
IMADE
Ah! School
fees
WEMIMO
We can’t
ask Maami to pay for us. I am going to take up some part time jobs, that way we
won’t depend on Maami for our daily expenses.
Hopefully, if we are lucky, we get opportunities to sew more clothes, we
can save from that
IMADE
Maybe I
should sell some of my designs
Wemimo sits upright
WEMIMO
What?
IMADE
I can make
more of it
WEMIMO
(In a stern
voice) Don’t you ever think of selling your designs?
IMADE
But the
money can help us
WEMIMO
If I have
to start bricklaying, I will. Don’t just sell your designs, please don’t
IMADE
Alright
WEMIMO
And don’t
gave Ann your designs again
IMADE
She is going
to be pissed
WEMIMO
She will
get over it
A very long silence
IMADE
I couldn’t
have done this without you… Thank you, Wemimo
She looks at him and sees him
peacefully sleeping. She smiles at him and covers him properly with the blanket
Next on Why?
WEMIMO
What are we talking about again?
ANN
I am saying
keep an open mind about a life without Imade
WEMIMO
I don’t
want to and that is why I am going to do whatever it takes to protect my family
