Previously on Why?
TOLANI
There is a screening for NYSC contract
WEMIMO
NYSC contract?
TOLANI
Yes, for the Khaki, I mean the NYSC uniform, you should understand now
WEMIMO
I don’t have the resources to take on a huge project like that
TOLANI
I know but you might one day. So, the experience is good
EPISODE 58
The Other side of IB
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
A very
heavy Imade gently arranges her baby’s items into a small baby’s bag when
Wemimo enters. He smiles brightly to her
WEMIMO
Hey
IMADE
Hey,
how was it?
WEMIMO
It
went well
He drops
his school bag and sits next to her on the bed
IMADE
So,
do you know if you will get it?
WEMIMO
For
where? Contract like this they already know who they are giving it to. All
they are just doing is formality
IMADE
Sorry
to hear about that
WEMIMO
It
is fine, I didn’t put my mind to it in the first place… Ann told me that
Bankole passed his WAEC
IMADE
Yeah,
six A1 and two B2
He looks really excited
WEMIMO
I
should get him something
IMADE
Ann
took him out already
WEMIMO
I
am giving him my own gift too…. We just have to wait for his post UTME result
IMADE
Yeah
He points to the baby stuff
in Imade’s hand
WEMIMO
Are
you in a hurry?
IMADE
It
is going to be any day now, mother said it is best to be prepared and yes, I am in a
hurry
Wemimo chuckles
WEMIMO
I
knew that
IMADE
I
am tired of always looking white
WEMIMO
You
don’t always look white
IMADE
That
is because of the Shea butter, I hate the smell
Wemimo smiles
WEMIMO
Is
that all?
Imade points to her back
IMADE
The
back nko? What about the back? Recently have been thinking I will die of
backache
WEMIMO
Sorry
about that, I would carry the baby if I can
IMADE
You
gat jokes
Wemimo laughs hard
IMADE
Above
all… I can’t wait to see my baby
Wemimo smiles brightly at
her as he caress her stomach
WEMIMO
I
can’t wait too
Imade tries to stand up but
she cries out and holds her back
IMADE
Ah!
WEMIMO
Hey
He helps her sit back down
IMADE
Finally
I can’t stand anymore
They both burst into
laughter
WEMIMO
Come
here
He removes
his shoes and place his leg wide on the bed as he makes Imade sit in between
his legs and rest on him.
IMADE
That
is actually comfortable
He places
his hands on her tummy and she places hers on his hands
WEMIMO
When
is your first paper?
IMADE
Tuesday
in the afternoon, yours?
WEMIMO
Monday
in the evening
IMADE
This
will be a difficult exam right
WEMIMO
In
your situation, yes
IMADE
I
got my IT letters today, I have to start looking for placement
WEMIMO
Another
stressful thing for you to do
IMADE
Hopefully
I deliver before then
WEMIMO
How
about you work at KINGS?
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
We
are registered, you can do your IT here
IMADE
As
what?
Wemimo looks excited
WEMIMO
Our
guidance counsellor, we have over twenty staff, you can totally work here
Imade gently stands up from
his embrace with difficulty, then she faces him
IMADE
Who
will come to me with their problems?
WEMIMO
The
staff obviously, maybe Aunty Bebii might confided in you, woman to woman
IMADE
The
same Aunty Bebii who knows all of my dirty secrets
WEMIMO
Then
the people who does not know, for example Dunsin and Dupe. I had buy a pack of
condom for him because the last thing I need is Dupe’s mother showing up on our
doorstep and blaming me for her daughter’s teenage pregnancy. You can talk to
both of them about abstinence
IMADE
You
seem to have forgotten that I got knocked up too, how am I any different from
those two
Wemimo stands up
WEMIMO
You
made a mistake but you can stop those two from making the same mistake you did
IMADE
Telling
them not to do things I did makes me a hypocrite, Wemimo. They will see me as a
hypocrite
WEMIMO
That
is if they know
IMADE
Are
you sure they don’t? The fastest thing that happens in that shop is gossip, are you sure they don’t know?
WEMIMO
Then
I will make a consultation with you a mandatory thing
IMADE
Then
where is the trust between a counsellor and the client. If you do that, the
trust they are suppose to have in me to share problems will be missing
WEMIMO
You
seem to have a response to every word I say, Imade, this is a good thing. You
will have time to rest after delivery and take care of our baby if you work in
this house and you might even decide not to work at them. this is good for you
IMADE
You
say it is good for me but why do I get the feeling that you are trying to tie
me more to KINGS
WEMIMO
What?
No, I am trying to help you
IMADE
Then
I am not working in KINGS
WEMIMO
Imade,
you…
Imade yells
IMADE
Let
it go, Wemimo
He sits back down
WEMIMO
Okay,
come back and sit
She ignores him and walks to
the door
WEMIMO
Imade,
don’t make this a fight
IMADE
I
am angry
WEMIMO
I
am sorry but I just made a suggestion that I feel will be good for you
IMADE
It
is not
WEMIMO
Okay
accepted, please come back
Imade
reluctantly goes back to sit in between his legs and he wraps his hands around
her tummy
WEMIMO
Can
I at least help you look into places that won’t stress the living life out of
you?
IMADE
I
will find my placement myself
WEMIMO
Okay
but please make it IB
IMADE
Of
course, it will be IB
WEMIMO
And
not the other side of IB
IMADE
It
will be close, I promise
They snuggle tightly
BANKOLE
Yes, he does or should I say he did until my sister stepped his toes. The one weakness of Wemimo King is his inability to forgive. As long as you are in his good grace, he will do anything for you but cross him and you get to feel his wrath. Let just say my sister has done something no woman should ever do and he is punishing her for that
JO
What a cruel man… then let make him the criminal in court
BANKOLE
What?
JO
Let expose Wemimo King for the bastard he is, let expose his criminal organisation and let us show the court the man your sister lived with for fifteen years
