EPISODE 29
Struggling
EXT. A STREET IN IBADAN- EVENING
Wemimo and
Ann alight from a bus at a junction with a backpack on Wemimo’s back and a big
handbag on Ann’s shoulder, then they walk down an untarred road frequently
greeting people
ANN
He trashed
everything?
WEMIMO
Yeah, both
chapter one and three, I am sure if he had the time to read chapter two, he
will trash it too
Looking at her friend with worry
ANN
(Warmly) What is
wrong, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
I am
struggling, that is what is wrong. There are too many work to be done, so many
things needs my attention. My school work is piling and we are lagging behind
in the shop
ANN
What can I
do to help?
WEMIMO
I need a
whole day to study, I need 24 hours of no interruption to get back on school
work and I also need more tailors and a bigger shop
ANN
We can go
looking for new tailors and a bigger shop this week
WEMIMO
I don’t
have time for that, my supervisor is breathing down my neck and I have about
four tests next week which I haven’t even prepared for
ANN
Then let
Aunty Bebii go with me
WEMIMO
Aunty Bebii
is the only person in her department, apart from me, she is always the first
person in the shop and always the last to leave. She is busy too
ANN
So there is
nothing I can help you with
They turn at a corner
WEMIMO
Throughout my IT period, I was lecturing Bintu on how to balance her work life with her love
life. Look at me the lecturer, I am doing a shitty job at it, I feel like a
hypocrite
ANN
Actually,
yours is school life and work life and they both demand serious attention
WEMIMO
I am just
tired
ANN
This is
your last year in school, it is almost over, so just endure it
WEMIMO
Oh! I
intend to
ANN
What are
you going to do about your project?
WEMIMO
Start all
over, but this time, with patience
As they walk, he rolls his head in
pain and groan
ANN
How long
are you going to keep sleeping on the cutting table in the shop?
WEMIMO
I don’t
know
ANN
I hope you
are not waiting for her to change her name because that is not happening
WEMIMO
I told to
stay away from my marriage
ANN
I want to
but your wife won’t let me. She has been whining about you not sleeping in the room, she said you won’t talk to her and even when she greets you, you won’t
answer
WEMIMO
Come on, I
answer
ANN
According
to her, you don’t. If I am a stranger to you two, I will think she is in love
with you
WEMIMO
(Scoffs)
Don’t I wish?
ANN
Yeah I
know but I guess she has gotten used to you been in the room. On a more serious
note, how long are going to keep grudge with your wife?
WEMIMO
Like I said
stay awa….
He suddenly stops
ANN
What is it?
WEMIMO
Listen
Then Ann hears a loud noise
ANN
What is
happening?
The duo
runs faster until they get to the front of Imade’s house, where they see thugs
shouting and breaking things. Madam Babade, Bankole and his staffs except for
Shehu, who is not there looks at them with fear in their eyes
The duo looks at the scene in
horror
ANN
What is
this?
Wemimo
looks around and spots Aperry in the middle of this fight
WEMIMO
I knew this
would happen
He quickly
runs to the middle of the fight and shouts at the top of his voice
WEMIMO
STOPPP!
Aperry
looks at him, hold his hands up and immediately, his boys stops fighting.
Wemimo looks at Aperry angry
WEMIMO
What is the
meaning of this? Why are you constituting nuisance at my place of work?
With his
thick bass voice, Aperry responds with cigarette smoke coming out of his nose
and mouth
APERRY
I should be
asking you that question, why are you causing a commotion in my territory?
WEMIMO
Excuse me?
Next on Why?
APERRY
Do you
think you can start your business without paying the necessary dues, o fe sowo
ile? (You don’t want to pay the necessary
due)
ANN
Is that why
you are causing a scene? Because of money?
