Make me understand you
BINTU

EPISODE 76
Onome!
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE- EVENING
Wemimo
walks to the front of the house as the sun goes down. He looks down as when he
hears the sound of a bike and he sees Bintu with another young female.
He smiles
brightly as he watch Bintu and a young lady alight from the bike
WEMIMO
I
hope the convocation was everything you dreamt it will be
BINTU
Yeah
it was, I mean…receiving the handshake of the Vice Chancellor is a big deal
WEMIMO
Well,
I didn’t graduate as the best student, maybe that is why I am not freaked
TOLANI
But
you could have gotten yourself a handshake from the VC himself
WEMIMO
That
handshake won’t give me millions, so not freaked
Bintu laughs as they both
hug
WEMIMO
It
is good to have you back
They both pulled away from each other
BINTU
I
heard the fundraiser was a blast
WEMIMO
Thanks
for ditching that
BINTU
Come
on, let it go. It wasn't my fault
Wemimo notices the young
lady next to Bintu
WEMIMO
Aren’t
you going to introduce us?
BINTU
Oh! I am sorry… Wemimo meet Onome, Onome meet Wemimo, my boss
Wemimo smiles
WEMIMO
Nice
to meet you, Onome
They both shake each other
ONOME
I
have heard a lot about you, it is nice to finally put a face to the name Wemimo
King
Wemimo chuckles
WEMIMO
I
go by Wemimo Arotile-King but Wemimo King is fine too but I will prefer you
call me Wemimo
ONOME
I
look forward to working with you
Wemimo looks confused
WEMIMO
Working
with me?
BINTU
Onome,
here is an accountant
ONOME
I
don’t have my ICAN yet but I am working towards it
Wemimo chuckles
WEMIMO
I
guess you got tired of doing both jobs
BINTU
Actually
both jobs
WEMIMO
What?
BINTU
I
got tired of doing both jobs
The smiles on Wemimo’s face
fades
WEMIMO
What
are you talking about?
BINTU
Onome,
please can you excuse us for a minute
ONOME
Of
course
Onome leaves
WEMIMO
Bintu,
what is happening?
BINTU
I
am leaving, Wemimo
WEMIMO
What?
BINTU
Remember
my dream…. I can’t achieve that if I am stuck here selecting fabrics for you
Wemimo rubs his face in
frustration
WEMIMO
I
know that and what I am about to say might sound selfish but KINGS needs you, I
need you now more than ever
BINTU
It
is selfish of you to tell me that, you are building KINGS which is your dream,
I want to achieve my dreams too
WEMIMO
But
there is nobody who can do what you do
BINTU
About
that… I will train Onome for a year
WEMIMO
A
year?
BINTU
Yes,
I will stay here and train her for a year after which I will leave
WEMIMO
You
spent your whole life studying fabrics, what can you teach her in a year?
BINTU
Leave
that to me
WEMIMO
I
didn’t see this coming at all
BINTU
I
applied for NYSC
Wemimo looked shocked
WEMIMO
What?
BINTU
And
I have been posted
WEMIMO
I
thought you said you will be for a year
BINTU
Yes….
I am posted to Oyo state
WEMIMO
For
your PPA, what if you are posted to somewhere like Oyo or God forbid, Saki
BINTU
My
uncle is going to work it and I will serve right here in Ibadan and
also in KINGS
WEMIMO
Really?
BINTU
Yes
WEMIMO
But
we just started, can you serve here?
BINTU
Don’t
worry, my uncle will handle it
WEMIMO
Will
you be here 100percent?
BINTU
I
will be here 95percent of the time, I am just trying to kill two birds with one
stone…Don’t worry, we will make it work
WEMIMO
I am sorry for telling you to stay, I was been
selfish
BINTU
If
I were in your shoes, I will do the same… I need to show Onome around
WEMIMO
Is
she good? I mean accounting wise
BINTU
Yes,
she is, I will show you her CV later but I believe she qualified for the job
WEMIMO
If
you say so, then there is no problem
BINTU
Thank
you
WEMIMO
Aperry
has been asking of you
She looks offended
BINTU
Wemimo,
really?
WEMIMO
I
mean, the man likes you
BINTU
You
seems to be forgetting my family
WEMIMO
What
about them? Mine were against Imade and look
BINTU
You
got lucky and Aperry is just a thug and a riffraff and I will never ever date
someone like him
WEMIMO
Never
say never
BINTU
Shut
up, Wemimo
Bintu turns
to leave then she meet Aunty Bebii walking towards them with a smile on her
face
AUNTY
BEBII
I
heard you were back?
BINTU
Yes,
have you been good
AUNTY
BEBII
Of
course… your friend is waiting
BINTU
On
my way to see her
Bintu goes inside
AUNTY
BEBII
You
are late
WEMIMO
Well,
she wasted my time
AUNTY
BEBII
At
least you got the job
WEMIMO
Yeah,
this month and next will be really hectic
A taxi
drives to the front of house and a very drunk Tolani come out. Wemimo runs to
meet her with Aunty Bebii
WEMIMO
Sister!
He helps
her up when she falls to the ground. Tolani laughs when she see him
TOLANI
It
is my brother, my ba..baby brother
WEMIMO
Are
you drinking again?
TOLANI
A
little, I took a...a little
WEMIMO
Something
is wrong, she does not drink
AUNTY
BEBII
Let
bring her to my room first
Aunty Bebii assisted Wemimo
in carrying Tolani inside
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.
