Previously on Why?
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
BINTU
She just saw us kissing and she is not bothered. Are you in an open marriage?
EPISODE 48
About you and Bintu
EXT.
IMADE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
Still
during Shehu’s freedom after party, Imade watch Wemimo and Bintu talking
together. After few minutes of talking, Bintu walks away from Wemimo and at
that moment Wemimo and Imade makes eye contact. Wemimo breaks the contact and
walks away. Imade follows him
IMADE
Wemimo!
He stops walking and faces her
WEMIMO
Yes
IMADE
Are you
avoiding me?
WEMIMO
Of course
not
IMADE
I am
getting the feeling that you are
WEMIMO
Well, am
not
IMADE
Where are
you going?
WEMIMO
A walk, I
just need to clear my head
IMADE
I want to
come with you
He points to her belly
WEMIMO
I don’t
think that is good for you
IMADE
I walk
round the school every day, I think I can survive few minutes’ walk
WEMIMO
Okay then
They both
start to walk in silence. Imade looks at Wemimo who is lost to his
surroundings. Imade touches him and that jolts him back to reality
IMADE
Are you
okay?
Wemimo nods
IMADE
Shehu’s
grandma kept appreciating me today
WEMIMO
She did?
IMADE
Since you
told Shehu that I paid for his freedom, does that mean you are not paying me
back?
WEMIMO
I will
IMADE
Come on,
Wemimo
WEMIMO
I told you
that this is something I want to do for Shehu
IMADE
Then why
did you tell him I paid for his freedom
WEMIMO
He is free
today because you. I don’t like the fact that you sold your designs but left to
me, I might still be looking for the money. Because of you, a dying woman get
to see her grandson as a free tailor and for that, I am grateful but I am still
going to pay you back every penny
They
continued their walk in silence with Wemimo constantly sighing. At a point,
Imade holds unto his arms to stop him from walking
IMADE
Okay, what
is it?
WEMIMO
What?
IMADE
You are
sighing, what is wrong?
He sighs deeply
WEMIMO
I just
found out that Aunty Bebii is been abused by her husband
Imade raises her eyebrow in
surprise
IMADE
Husband?
She is married?
WEMIMO
I found out
today too
IMADE
Abuse, like
rape?
WEMIMO
Physical
abuse but who knows, he might be raping her too
IMADE
Now it
makes sense, that heavy makeup, she is covering up her bruises
WEMIMO
Yeah, he is
also the reason why she can’t wheel a sewing machine
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
He threw
her down the stairs during one of their fights and broke her leg
IMADE
If it is
that serious, why won’t she leave him?
WEMIMO
She can’t,
her parent borrowed money from him and can’t pay back
IMADE
So they
gave her to him in place of the money?
WEMIMO
Something
like that
IMADE
Igbos and
their love for money…. Wait a minute, how did you find out? I don’t think Aunty
Bebii told you any of this
WEMIMO
Aperry
IMADE
Aperry?
WEMIMO
Yes, I
asked him to look into her
IMADE
Look into
her?
WEMIMO
I had to, I
knew something was not right about her
IMADE
This is why
you need Aperry right? To handle things you can’t handle
WEMIMO
It is nice
to have someone like him in our corner
IMADE
What are
you going to do?
WEMIMO
I don’t
know
IMADE
I could go
to the bank and withdraw the remaining money, you could use that to pay back
the loan
WEMIMO
No
IMADE
You can
borrow it
WEMIMO
What he has
taken away from her is already more than the money her parent loaned. Even if I
want to pay him back the money, I can’t, she asked me to stay out of it
IMADE
You
confronted her already?
WEMIMO
Yes and she
almost bit my head off for calling her out
IMADE
So, are you
just going to leave her in the marriage? He took her legs already, what if he
takes her hand tomorrow, we need those hands
WEMIMO
I know, she
is good at what she does
IMADE
She is
indispensable
WEMIMO
The only
person indispensable in KINGS is you, others can be changed but not you and you
are right, she needs to get out of that marriage
IMADE
What are
you going to do?
WEMIMO
I don’t
know
IMADE
Talk to
Ann, am sure she will help you find a way
Wemimo nods
IMADE
Come on
They both
continue their walk in silent. Few minutes later, Imade clears her voice
IMADE
About you
and Bintu
Wemimo stops walking and faces
Imade
WEMIMO
There is no
me and Bintu
IMADE
You
obviously still in love with her
WEMIMO
No, I am
not. I am married to you
IMADE
Look, our
marriage is an unusual one. I can’t do things a wife should do with you and for
that I am sorry but I won’t stop you from seeking for….
WEMIMO
No
IMADE
This is for
your good, I am really not bothered
WEMIMO
But I am
bothered, I am bothered that you are not
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
(Upset) I am your
husband for God sake, Imade, how are you okay with me being with another
woman, do I mean so little to you?
IMADE
I am doing
this for your own good, why are you getting upset, you love her
WEMIMO
I…. I love you, Imade
Next on Why?
IMADE
I don’t
know what to say
WEMIMO
Then don’t
say anything
IMADE
I saw you
kissing, I thou…
WEMIMO
Yes, I did
and I know how that looked but the woman I wanted was not available and Bintu,
she….. She was just here and it happened
