EPISODE 82
A Long day
EXT.
IMADE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
Tolani
look over the streets of Ibadan from the second floor’s balcony. She smiles
when she sees Wemimo walking into the front yard
TOLANI
Wemimo!
Wemimo looks up and smiles
when he sees his sister
WEMIMO
Why
are you still awake?
TOLANI
I
was waiting for you… come up
Tolani
watch Wemimo leave her view as he enters the house. She waits patiently for
him and about five minutes later, Wemimo comes upstairs
WEMIMO
Are
the others asleep?
TOLANI
Yes…
I heard what happened, how is she?
WEMIMO
She
had a concussion but she will be fine
TOLANI
Is
anyone with her?
WEMIMO
Yes,
her mother arrived this evening
TOLANI
That
was good of you
Wemimo sighs deeply
WEMIMO
I
dated this lady and I can’t believe I didn’t know about this
TOLANI
There
was no way you could have known
WEMIMO
But
I should know, I had slept with this lady more times than I can count, it was
my job to know
TOLANI
She
was showing no sign of it, there was no way you could have known
WEMIMO
She
was taking drugs, she was always taking her drugs… I should have pressed her
and asked her to tell me what was wrong with her
TOLANI
And
what? What could you have done to prevent her episode this afternoon?
WEMIMO
Follow
her home to get her drugs when she told me she needed them… I thought she was
one of those people who needs a fix to keep them going… I didn’t take her
seriously
TOLANI
I
know where your heart is but she didn’t tell you for a reason… so stop blaming
yourself and let it go
WEMIMO
I
am going to sleep
TOLANI
I
have something for you Wemimo
She points to two duffle
bags next to her. Wemimo sighs deeply when he sees them
WEMIMO
Sister,
I know you are going through a midlife crises right now but I am tired and I
don’t have the time to indulge you
TOLANI
That
is harsh
Wemimo sighs
WEMIMO
I
am sorry
TOLANI
And
unfair
WEMIMO
I
said I am sorry… today has been a long day
TOLANI
Sit
down and open the damn bag
Wemimo sits
on the bench reluctantly while his sister sits opposite him. He opens the
duffle bag and brings out perfume case, then a designer bag
WEMIMO
What
am I going to do with a designer bag?
TOLANI
Look
at it, Wemimo, look at the fucking bag
Wemimo looks at the bag
WEMIMO
There
is nothing to see, it is a Vuitton produ….
He sees
KINGS written boldly on the logo with a marker, he looks at his sister in
confusion
WEMIMO
What
is this?
TOLANI
Keep
looking
He bring
out shoes, cosmetics pack, some under wears with their brand names cancelled out and
KINGS written on them
WEMIMO
Sister,
what am I looking at?
TOLANI
I
can help you with all this
WEMIMO
All
of what?
TOLANI
You
can have your name on all this products, I can help you with that
WEMIMO
What
are you saying?
TOLANI
I
am saying… I want to work for you Wemimo
WEMIMO
What?
TOLANI
You
don’t have to stick to making clothes, I can help you expand to other things
WEMIMO
Wait
a minute sister, wait a minute… what about The Company? What happened to your
job at The Company?
TOLANI
I
don’t work at The Company anymore
His eyeballs budge out in
shock
WEMIMO
What?
Why? When you did quit?
TOLANI
A
little over two months ago
WEMIMO
What?
Were you fired?
TOLANI
I
quit
WEMIMO
This
is your husband, isn’t it? Is this why have been drinking yourself to oblivion?
TOLANI
Part
of it?
WEMIMO
Part of it? There is another part?
TOLANI
Tife
and I are on a break
WEMIMO
(Opens
his mouth wide in shock) What?
WEMIMO
You can’t just take a break from a marriage
TOLANI
I was losing myself in that marriage, I couldn’t recognize myself anymore
WEMIMO
Did you talk to your husband about it?
TOLANI
There was no point in doing that, he could see my struggles but there was nothing he could do
