Previously on Why?
BINTU
You asked me to work with you
WEMIMO
Yes, work with me but you work for her, we both do. How dare you disrespect her like that?
BINTU
She broke us up
WEMIMO
I did, not her and I thought you wanted to meet her
BINTU
Hearing her say her name made me angry
WEMIMO
If you can’t keep your private and professional life separate, get out
EPISODE 26
Stole? I am
not an object
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
Wemimo
opens the door to his room and finds Imade at her position on the bed reading
as usual.
He looks
around the overcrowed room. He drops the big Ghana-must-go
bag in this hand under the table as he navigate his way through the luggage
IMADE
Where have
you been?
WEMIMO
What
happened here?
IMADE
Have been
calling your phone
WEMIMO
Flat
battery
IMADE
How was it?
I would have come to the shop but I was too tired to walk. How did it go?
Wemimo smiles
WEMIMO
She loved
them
IMADE
Really?
WEMIMO
When I told
her the reason for the different styles, she accepted it, Bintu was right
The smile on her faces fades
IMADE
So you need
her?
Wemimo sits next to her on the bed
and places her feet on his thighs, massaging her toes
WEMIMO
If you are
not comfortable with her, then she is gone
IMADE
No, no, my
feeling have no say in this matter
WEMIMO
Imade
IMADE
My feeling
got us into this mess, my feeling won’t be the one destroying things for you
again. So, if you want her, she is yours
WEMIMO
But not to
your discomfort
IMADE
I
understand her, you know… you two were practically in love and I stole you from
her
WEMIMO
Stole? I am
not an object
IMADE
What I am
saying is that, I get why she is pissed
WEMIMO
You didn’t
steal what was not yours from the start
Imade looks confused
IMADE
Excuse me?
Wemimo stands up fast realising his
slip up
WEMIMO
I need to
go freshen up, I will be back
He walks to the door, then he
suddenly turns back
WEMIMO
You said
you were tired, what were you doing?
IMADE
Bankole and
I spent the day, moving Maami’s things into our room and the living room. Baba
Sikura moved into Maami’s room
WEMIMO
That
explains why this place is crowded but next time, I will do it myself, please
don’t stress yourself
IMADE
It is not
like I will be doing it everyday
WEMIMO
Still
IMADE
Have you
eaten?
WEMIMO
Yes
IMADE
Did you get
any sleep late night?
WEMIMO
I tried to
but in between Bintu and Shehu whirling the machine with Aunty Bebii’s
whipping, I couldn’t
IMADE
Aunty Bebii
was there with you again?
WEMIMO
Yes
IMADE
Why won’t
she go home?
WEMIMO
I don’t
know, I was surprised when she took my offer of a job instantly without even thinking about it
IMADE
What is it
with her and heavy makeup though?
WEMIMO
I don’t
know and I don’t care as long as it is not affecting the job
IMADE
What job?
WEMIMO
I told you
I gave her a job like two seconds ago
IMADE
Wait… you
gave her a job?
WEMIMO
Yeah, I
offered to buy all her machines, if she come work for us
IMADE
But she has
a job already
WEMIMO
I don't need she is making enough money in that shop, I didn’t even know she will say yes. I just tried my luck, lo and behold, she works for us now
IMADE
But can we
afford her?
WEMIMO
Oh! I
didn’t tell you, I got the contract for other schools
IMADE
What other
schools?
WEMIMO
There are
four other schools like that with same name in other local governments in Oyo.
She was so impressed with the work that she gave me for other schools
Imade opens her mouth in excitement
IMADE
That is wonderful
WEMIMO
Right? Talk of luck
IMADE
But can you meet the deadline?
WEMIMO
We have to
IMADE
This is
going to be stressful with school
WEMIMO
For me,
yes, don’t worry yourself about it
IMADE
And Bintu
too, you said she schools in Benin, how will she make it work
WEMIMO
She will
find a way
IMADE
The
workload will huge
WEMIMO
That was
why I brought Aunty Bebii in, she will cut the clothes and whip them. Shehu
will sew clothes with the other tailors we will be getting, Bintu will be in
charge of the fabrics, you will keep designing and I will make sure everything
goes according to plan
IMADE
And Ann?
WEMIMO
I need her
in school
IMADE
She is in
school already
WEMIMO
I need her
focused on school and school alone. If things go the way I want it to, she will
be handing all our legal issues when she becomes a lawyer
IMADE
And where do you want things to go?
WEMIMO
Big places, Imade.... really big places
IMADE
So when
will you start working?
WEMIMO
Our
machines will come in on Monday, we have started interviewing the tailors
already. Latest noon on Monday, we will start working
IMADE
Okay
WEMIMO
You sure
about Bintu?
IMADE
I thought
we were past that, yes, I am fine. As long as she does not come at me again,
she made me feel like a harlot
WEMIMO
What?
IMADE
Now that I
think about it, his mother did call me a slum slut
WEMIMO
I thought we were past that
IMADE
What is in that bag?
She points to the bag Wemimo came in with
WEMIMO
The
commissioner party clothes for the next six months
IMADE
More work
load?
WEMIMO
We need the
money and she has it… I need to freshen up
IMADE
Wait…
He turns to her
IMADE
Can’t you
just make all the decision?
WEMIMO
Imade
IMADE
I will be
the face like you want me to, just make the decisions concerning Kings
WEMIMO
I will run
things by you first
IMADE
That will
not be necessary, I know you will do the right thing
WEMIMO
Imade!
IMADE
You asked
me to just design, let me just do that. I am a guidance counsellor, I am not
cut out to be the boss of a clothing shop
Wemimo takes a deep breath
WEMIMO
Alright
Then he makes his way out of the
room
Next on Why?
WEMIMO
Not that
again please… your dress is finished
IMADE
Which dress?
WEMIMO
