Previously on Why?
WEMIMO
No, she is not, something is different about her
ANN
And what will that be?
WEMIMO
There is always this fake smile plastered to her face but in corner, she cries when she think no one is looking. She also talks less now, she spends more time outside and comes home at odd hour
EPISODE 74
Honey!
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE-
CONTINOUS
Wemimo walks to
the front yard of Imade’s house which is totally different from what it
normally looks like. It is heavily lighted, beautifully decorated and made
appropriate for the gala that is taking place.
He looks round
his surrounding which is crowded with many men and women of high class all
dressed in expensive dinner gowns and suit listening to Imade talk
Ann walks closer
to Wemimo when she sees him
ANN
She
is doing well, she is the perfect face for KINGS
WEMIMO
I
know that
Wemimo smiles as
he looks forward and makes eye contact with Imade who smiles brightly at him
again
WEMIMO
That
fake ass smile is creepy me out
ANN
I
will have a talk with her
WEMIMO
Don’t
make me regret talking to you, Ann. My marriage, my problem, I will deal with
it myself
ANN
(With
Sarcasm) Alright
Wemimo looks back to Imade
IMADE
I
really appreciate you for honouring us with your visit and I really hope you
won’t leave here without donating something. These kids needs our help, they
are the future leaders of our country but they can’t be that if they don’t have
good classrooms, so please help us give it to them. Once again I want to say
thank you for coming but before this stage, I will want to appreciate all those
who has helped brings KINGS to where she is today. I don’t want to mention
names so that it won’t seem like I have favourites but I want to appreciate one
of my employee here from the bottom of my heart. The mastermind of all
this….people say behind every successful man, there is a woman but mine is the
direct opposite of that, I won’t be here without his help…. So people with a
standing ovation… okay, you guys are standing
People burst into laughter
IMADE
Please
jab your hands together for my lovely husband, Wemimo, Arotile-King
A loud sound of
clapping is heard as the guest all turn back to look at Wemimo.
WEMIMO
(Nodding
his head) Thank you, thank you
The clapping dies down
IMADE
Thank
you darling husband for fulfilling your promise, you said you will be with me
every step of the way and you have been. You have been everything Wemi and I
could ever wanted in a father and husband. Thank you very much
WEMIMO
(With
a soft smile) You are welcome
ANN
(Whisper)
Wow! she will make a fortune as an actress
IMADE
Honey,
please come to the front and let people see you… please jab your hands together
as my husband comes to the front
His eyebrow widens
ANN
Honey?
WEMIMO
Am
as surprise as you are, this is the first time she is calling me that
ANN
She
is good
Wemimo goes
to the front where Imade holds out her hands to hug him. Wemimo hugs her and
whispers into her ears
WEMIMO
Imade,
you will stay here and talk to people
Imade whispers to his ears
back
IMADE
Wemi….
WEMIMO
He
is in good hands, you won’t use him as an excuse to lock yourself in our room
IMADE
(In
a hard low voice) I don’t like this place, Wemimo
WEMIMO
I
know but I need the face of KINGS in this place and not inside
Wemimo releases her and
looks at her
WEMIMO
(With
a pleading) Please, stay
Wemimo walks to the podium
and picks the microphone
WEMIMO
I
don’t have much to say, my wife said it all but I will implore us to make good
donations. These kids’ school was destroyed by flooding and the only solution
the government is providing is for them to go the nearest school which is very
far from our community. Please help us send this kids back to their rightful
school, thank you and please enjoy the night
People clap as
Wemimo drops the microphone and walks away from the podium. He stops walking
when he sees his sister walk in. With bright smile, he walks to his sister and
hugs her
WEMIMO
You
told me you won’t make it
TOLANI
Well,
I am here
WEMIMO
Is
Tife around?
TOLANI
No,
he is not
WEMIMO
Good
because I don’t want to see him
Tolani looks around in awe
TOLANI
You
have done so well
WEMIMO
You
should compliment Ann, I hope you are donating?
Tolani brings out
a cheque leaflet from her purse and hands it to him. Wemimo smiles when he sees
the amount
WEMIMO
I
trust you, thank you for your generous offer
Wemimo hears his
name and look up to see Aperry who is also in suit coming towards him with a
big brown envelope in hand. Wemimo gives the cheque back to his sister
WEMIMO
Please
can you give this to Ann, she is in charge. I need to see someone
TOLANI
Okay
Wemimo leaves his sister and
walks to Aperry
WEMIMO
What
is it?
Aperry hands the envelope in
his hand to him
APERRY
I
have what you asked for
Wemimo
brings out the document inside the envelope and read through it
WEMIMO
Is
this all?
APERRY
Yes,
the list of the owners of houses surrounding KINGS as far as 1km
WEMIMO
Thank
you
He puts the
document back into the envelope
APERRY
May
I ask what you need it for?
WEMIMO
I
want to buy everything
Aperry looks shocked
APERRY
What?
WEMIMO
Why do you look so surprised? It is not something impossible
APERRY
That
is a lot of money, I didn’t know you have that kind of money
WEMIMO
I
don’t but I will get it and I am not buying it as a whole. I am buying it
little by little as I get the money
APERRY
(Chuckles)
You never seize to amaze me
The Chairman walks to Wemimo
CHAIRMAN
Wemimo!
Turning back to his father
WEMIMO
Yes
sir
CHAIRMAN
Come,
I want to introduce you to someone
WEMIMO
Aperry,
I will see you later
APERRY
Okay
Wemimo
walks with his father to a man in his forties. ANIFOWOSE, a tall, dark SAN in
his late forties, smiles when he watch Wemimo walking towards him with his father
WEMIMO
Barrister
Anifowose
ANIFOWOSE
You
know who I am
WEMIMO
You
are the role model of my best friend, of course I know
ANIFOWOSE
Anike
Wada
WEMIMO
Yes
Anifowose shakes hands with
Wemimo
ANIFOWOSE
I
must say I am impressed with what you are doing here, as a King, you certainly
didn’t disappoint
WEMIMO
I
didn’t do this on my own
ANIFOWOSE
Humble
also, your father must be so proud of you
The chairman smiles
CHAIRMAN
Oh,
I am
ANIFOWOSE
I
like young brilliant minds like you…. I heard you have been turning down
investors, may I ask why?
WEMIMO
I
haven’t seen anyone that is willing give me what I want
ANIFOWOSE
I
like what I see, how about we talk about what you want over drinks tomorrow
evening
WEMIMO
Instead
of investing in my company, how about we talk about your run for Senate
Anifowose looks surprise
ANIFOWOSE
How
do you know about that? I haven’t given an official announcement yet
WEMIMO
Let
just say I have my way of getting information
ANIFOWOSE
For
a business man, information is key, I am impressed
WEMIMO
This
is your first time running for office, which means you are new to this
ANIFOWOSE
I
am familiar with the process
WEMIMO
You
will need this constituency’s vote and I know the person that can get that for
you
Anifowose looks at the
Chairman in astonishment before directing his gaze back to Wemimo
ANIFOWOSE
Really?
WEMIMO
You
just have to be ready to pay for his service
Anifowose brings out his
card and gives it Wemimo
ANIFOWOSE
Bring
him to my office tomorrow and we will talk
Reading the content of the
card before he looks up
WEMIMO
Okay…
I love to stay with you but I have to go
ANIFOWOSE
Please
go ahead
Wemimo leaves with a smirk
on his face
Next on Why?
IMADE
If
you are talking about KINGS, that is not making me happy…. I never wanted this,
I just wanted to live a simple life with the man I love
ANN
A
simple life? I can’t believe that the woman who begged Micheal’s mother to let
her marry her son is talking about a simple life because that life is not
exactly simple
IMADE
Like
I said, you will always support him
ANN
Yes because right now, you are just been selfish.
