INT. IMADE’S HOUSE- IN THE DEAD OF
THE NIGHT
Wemimo is
seen folding some uniforms into a long sack, Bintu comes into the shop
BINTU
Hey!
Wemimo looks up and smiles at her
WEMIMO

BINTU
Yeah, you
know you can do that tomorrow
WEMIMO
Tomorrow is
going to hectic with the preparation for Shehu’s freedom and all
BINTU
Ohh, that
is true…need any help?
WEMIMO
Yeah
Bintu joins him
BINTU
This is the
last batch right?
WEMIMO
Yeah
BINTU
Finally, there can be some breathing space
WEMIMO
Not
exactly, Imade might be signing another contract tomorrow
BINTU
For next
session?
WEMIMO
Yeah
BINTU
Wow… but is
this what you are going to be doing forever?
WEMIMO
What?
BINTU
I mean are
you going to keep sewing clothes for people forever, isn’t the point of all
this to start your clothing line, your own brand
WEMIMO
For that we
need a lot of money
BINTU
Then look
for investors
WEMIMO
Have you
been talking to Ann?
BINTU
I don’t
have to talk to her because that is the reasonable to do, you need to expand
WEMIMO
Things are
hectic right now
BINTU
Things are
always going to be hectic
WEMIMO
How is your
project going?
BINTU
Don’t
change the topic
WEMIMO
Am not, I
just don’t know what to say about that, I don’t just feel it is time
BINTU
What does
Imade think about it?
WEMIMO
She is not
concerned about the operation of this place
BINTU
So she is
the boss in the name
WEMIMO
She is not,
all the job we are getting is 60percent her contribution and like the boss she
is, she delegated me to make all the decision that affect KINGS
BINTU
All I hear
is a boss in the name
WEMIMO
Come on,
Bintu
BINTU
You need to
expand, think about it and my project is going well. I am going to the field
very soon
WEMIMO
Great
BINTU
How is
yours?
WEMIMO
My proposal
presentation is after exams
BINTU
That is in
a month right?
WEMIMO
A month and
a week
BINTU
Goodluck in
advance
They continue folding
BINTU
I miss us
working together
WEMIMO
We work
together everyday
BINTU
In the same
room I mean
Wemimo chuckles
WEMIMO
Do you
remember that time?
BINTU
What time?
WEMIMO
With
Clinton
BINTU
Ahhh….God
no
She slaps Wemimo’s hand who laughs
BINTU
Why will
you make me remember that awful day?
WEMIMO
Once in a
while, I remember that day and each time, I laugh all over again
Bintu burst into laughter
BINTU
Easy for
you to laugh about it, it didn’t happen to you. Each time I think about, I am
feel embarrassed all over again like it just happened
The two
laugh and after a while, their laughter dies down to be accompanied by a long
deafening silence. Bintu looks up from what she is folding to catch him staring
at her intensely
BINTU
What is it?
WEMIMO
I forgot
how intoxicating your laughter can be, the sound of it, I miss it
She chuckles softly
BINTU
I miss it
too, what we had. Not a day went by that I didn’t think about what we lost
The two
stare at each other intensely, then Bintu covers the little gap between them
and kisses Wemimo on the lips. She breaks the kiss almost immediately to look
at Wemimo.
He stares
at her for few seconds like he was thinking, then he kisses her back. The two
kiss each other hungrily but Wemimo withdraws the moment he feels her soft
hands on his chest gently caressing his bare skin
WEMIMO
Stop!
Wemimo
breathes in and out heavily as Bintu looks at him confusion
BINTU
Did I do
something wrong?
WEMIMO
No, you
didn’t
BINTU
I thought
you wanted it
WEMIMO
Yes I do
but it is wrong…. Ah! This is so hard. I am sorry if I led you on
BINTU
I started
it, it was my fault
WEMIMO
I can
finish up here
BINTU
Good night
WEMIMO
You too
Bintu turns
and sees Imade at the door. She looks so shocked to see her
BINTU
Imade!
Wemimo’s eyes widens when he sees
her
WEMIMO
Imade!
IMADE
I woke up
and I didn’t see you next to me. I figured that you were working and I wanted
to keep you company but it seems you have a company already
WEMIMO
It is not
what you think it is
IMADE
Don’t
worry, am not bothered
Imade turns and leaves. Bintu turns
to Wemimo in confusion
BINTU
She just
saw us kissing and she is not bothered. Are you in an open marriage?
WEMIMO
Good night,
Bintu
Wemimo continues his work
Next on Why?
ANN
Everybody
makes one or two bad decisions at a junction in their lives, if you don’t allow
her make one, when she will learn. You can’t keep shielding her from making
mistakes
WEMIMO
Yes, I can
and I will because when the consequences of those bad decisions comes knocking,
I will be the one watching her in pain
ANN
So, it is
about you
WEMIMO
Fuck off,
Ann, I am just protecting her from herself
