Is that why you are causing a scene? Because of money?
EPISODE 31
Meddle!
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE-NIGHT
Ann walks
into Wemimo’s overcrowded shop and at the extreme end is Wemimo who sits before
a whipping machine whipping clothes with a phone to his ear.
He smiles
and waves to her when he sees her. Ann squeezes herself as she pass through the
small space in between sewing machines. She sits in front of him with the
whipping machine in between them
Ann watch
him as he whips clothes and also speaking on the phone. Few minutes later, he
drops the call and continues his work
WEMIMO
Hey!
ANN
Hey! Where
are your people?
WEMIMO
It has been
a crazy week, I gave them the night off….
ANN
And you are
doing the job yourself?
WEMIMO
A client is
coming for this clothes tomorrow, I can’t ask Aunty Bebii to do it after the
week she had
ANN
You had a
crazy week too, a week crazier than theirs
WEMIMO
What brings
you here this late?
ANN
I came to
see how you were doing, this is my only free time. My week was packed too and
it will be more packed starting from tomorrow. Working for my dad is not as
easy as I thought it will be
WEMIMO
That means
you won’t be free tomorrow
ANN
What about
tomorrow?
WEMIMO
I am seeing
a client at Iyaganku estate tomorrow morning, I was going to ask you to drive
me here
ANN
That is
new, you never ask for such favours
WEMIMO
I am trying
to avoid wasting time at Iwo road… also, I am going shop hunting tomorrow.
ANN
Why don’t
you ask your mother in law to let you use the other rooms?
WEMIMO
What others
room?
ANN
The ones
the tenants vacated
Wemimo looks up from his work in
confusion
WEMIMO
Vacated?
What are you talking about?
ANN
Are you
telling me you don’t know that more than half of the tenant have left?
WEMIMO
No, I don’t
ANN
Are you
that busy that you don’t know what is going on in your own house?
WEMIMO
Stop been
sarcastic and tell me why
ANN
Noise
WEMIMO
Noise?
ANN
Yes, the
noise from your shop
WEMIMO
How is that
a problem?
ANN
You have
about six machines in this small shop which all work at the same time, what are
you expecting? And Imade told me you guys have been pulling all-nighter since last
week, which means they can’t sleep. If I was in their shoes, I will sue your
mother in law to oblivion, they made the right choice leaving
WEMIMO
Imade
didn’t tell me any of this
ANN
You are not
exactly talking to her, are you?
WEMIMO
Maami is
losing a lot of money, I can’t ask her to let me take the other rooms
ANN
Then pay
her the money
WEMIMO
She won’t
take it from me
ANN
So what?
You want to move your shop, from the look of things, working in this place is
in your favour
WEMIMO
I don’t
feel good working in this place without paying
ANN
Then make
her take the money
WEMIMO
(Sighs
lightly) I will find a way
He continues his work
ANN
How far
with the registration?
WEMIMO
Can you
make time for me on Monday? So we can go do it together
ANN
If Imade is
going to be the boss, you know you need her right?
WEMIMO
I know
ANN
How long
how are you going to keep fighting with her?
WEMIMO
I told you
not to meddle in my marriage
ANN
I am just
worried
WEMIMO
Stay out of
my marriage, it is none of your business
ANN
But…
WEMIMO
Bintu is
coming over tomorrow, can she stay at your place?
ANN
Of course
He stops whipping and he looks at
the dress carefully
WEMIMO
Done
Wemimo drops the dress on the
sewing machine and stands up
WEMIMO
Let me
escort you
ANN
Have overstayed
my welcome right?
WEMIMO
It is
getting late
ANN
Alright
Ann stands up and walks out with
him
Next on Why?
WEMIMO
Maybe you
are right but it was either that or Guilder
IMADE
What about
coke? There is coke, there is Pepsi, Fanta, there are other drinks you can take
that does not have alcohol. I am worried about you, Wemimo
