EPISODE 102
Selfish and Ungrateful
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE-
AFTERNOON
Imade sits
in the dining room of her house designing on sketch pads and right beside her Wemi plays on the floor with his toys. Imade hears the sound of a door opening and closing. Few
seconds later, Bankole walks into the living room, well dressed with a school
bag on his back ready to go out.
Wemi opens
his scattered teeth to him and Bankole carries him up and throws him into the
air. Wemi rewards him a loud giggle
IMADE
He
just ate, don’t throw him up
She talks
to him without stopping her work. Then he gently holds the little boy against
his chest
IMADE
Going
for lesson?
BANKOLE
Yes…
Brother Wemimo said that he gave you my pocket money
IMADE
Yes,
he gave me that a week ago… why are you just asking?
BANKOLE
Because
I didn't need it then and I haven’t seen Brother Wemimo for some days now
IMADE
He
is a busy man, you know that
BANKOLE
But
he hasn’t been home in days, no matter how busy he is, he always comes home
IMADE
Well
this month has been hectic for him, with the fashion show this Sunday and so
many deadlines to meet, he might not be coming home for days
Bankole moves closer to
Imade and looks at her designs
BANKOLE
Well,
it looks like brother Wemimo is not the only busy person in this house, the
only time you left this position since yesterday afternoon was to cook and attend
to Wemi
IMADE
When
inspiration comes, it comes
BANKOLE
Still,
I haven’t seen you design in so many sketch pad before, are you going somewhere?
She tense up
IMADE
Are
you sure you won’t be late for lesson?
BANKOLE
Oh!
I forget about that
He drops Wemi on the floor
BANKOLE
My
pocket money?
IMADE
You
will see it on the first drawer in my room
Bankole
goes inside Imade’s room and he comes out in about five minute with Imade’s
divorce papers in his hands looking confused
BANKOLE
Sister,
what is this?
Imade turns
to Bankole and opens her mouth in shock. She stands up
BANKOLE
Is
this why you are designing a lot?
IMADE
I
can explain
BANKOLE
Explain
what? Explain that you are trying to leave Brother Wemimo, explain that you are
trying to destroy our family
IMADE
It
is not what it is
BANKOLE
It
is exactly what it is sister… you are trying to leave brother Wemimo and
destroying our family in the process and for what?
IMADE
I
am not happy, Bankole
BANKOLE
I
don’t understand, sister, what exactly is it that you are not happy about? You
have me, you have mother, you have Wemi… for the first time in a very long
time, we don’t have to worry about money, what exactly are you not happy about?
IMADE
I
know you think I am selfish and that I am ungrateful but only I know what I am
feeling
Imade holds
her chest as tears builds up in her eyes
IMADE
Bankole,
I feel suffocated in here, I feel smothered, my heart feels so stifle and all I
want is a release. I just want to breathe freely, Bankole
Bankole
opens his mouth in shock as he looks at his sister in disbelief
BANKOLE
Unbelievable!
He throw
the document on the floor and he carries his bag to leave
IMADE
It
is a good thing you found out actually
BANKOLE
And
why is that a good thing?
IMADE
Because
I need your help
BANKOLE
What?
IMADE
I need to give the divorce papers to Wemimo
but I can’t face him, so I am going to need you to give it to Ann to give it to
him
Bankole burst into laughter
BANKOLE
So
you are not just a betrayer, you are also a coward. You asked the man to marry
you but you lack the gut to ask him for a divorce
IMADE
I
am sorry
BANKOLE
If
you are sorry, you won’t do this to him, you won’t do this to our family
He turns to leave and at the
door, he turns back to her
BANKOLE
So
you get a divorce, what next? Micheal left an…. Wait a minute, he is getting
married, which means he must be in the country… are you doing this because of
him
IMADE
I
love him
Bankole sits down dejected
BANKOLE
I
don’t want to be in love if this is what it is…. The last time I checked, his
parent didn’t want you and judging from the wedding taking place on Saturday,
they still don’t want you and there you are blowing up your life for a man who
left you unless you are planning on eloping (breathes harshily) which I really
hope is not true
He looks up
at his sister and sees the confirmation on her face
BANKOLE
Fuck!
IMADE
You
are in love with Ann, you should understand how I feel
He stands up
BANKOLE
Yes,
I understand how you feel but I won’t do this. If I were in your shoes, I won’t
do this to Brother Wemimo, I won’t this to our hypertensive mother and I won’t
do this to you. Please sister, I am begging, don’t do this
Imade starts to cry
IMADE
I
am sorry
BANKOLE
You
are right you know but I don’t just think you are selfish and ungrateful…. you
are selfish and you are ungrateful and sister, I am highly disappointed in you.
Whatever this is, count me out of it, you are going to have to do your dirty
job yourself
He bangs the door on this
way out as more tears finds its way down Imade’s eyes
INT. IMADE’S HOUSE- NIGHT
Imade opens the main exit
door of her house for Wemimo to come in. he smiles at her
WEMIMO
Hey!
IMADE
Hey!
She leaves the door opened
for him and she goes to the dining room to continue her work. Wemi giggles as
he see his father and he tries to stand up but falls back down
With a bright smile on his
face, Wemimo carries him and throws him into the air
WEMIMO
Hello
buddy, I missed you
Wemi
giggles loudly as Wemimo rains kisses all over his small face. Wemimo proceeds
to the dining room with Wemi in his arms where he finds Imade neck deep in
work.
He drops
Wemi on the dining table as he looks through the sketch pads Imade has designed
into.
WEMIMO
This
is a lot, are you going somewhere?
Imade’s eyebrow widens as
she looks at Wemimo as she feigns ignorance
IMADE
What?
Wemimo chuckles
WEMIMO
I
mean look at the sketch pads you designed into… it is like you are going
somewhere and you won’t be back a long time… or maybe even ever
IMADE
What
are you saying?
WEMIMO
I
am just say….
Imade cutts in angrily
IMADE
When
I don’t design, you complain and when I am designing, you are still complaining
WEMIMO
Oh!
I am not complaining, I just surprised… I mean you are the same woman who said
she has no time to come to the factory and here you are spending hours on
designs that I didn’t even request for. I am not complaining, I am just
surprised and also impressed
He flips though the sketch
pad
WEMIMO
Your
designs are beautiful, I am sure it will move fast in market
He carries Wemi back into
his arm
WEMIMO
Ah…how
far with the preparation for Wemi’s birthday?
IMADE
It
is going well
WEMIMO
I
am not seeing preparation been down
IMADE
It
is mostly Ann’s department
WEMIMO
Our
joint account hasn’t been debited, I mean you need money for preparation right
IMADE
Yeah,
it is just that I have been busy with exams and all
WEMIMO
And
yet you have time design all this time
Imade drops
her pencil and rest her back on the chair
IMADE
(In
annoyance) Do you have a problem with me, Wemimo?
WEMIMO
Of
course not
She gets defensive
IMADE
Then
what is it? You want me to be more committed to KINGS, this is me been
committed, then what is the problem?
WEMIMO
There
is no problem, I am sorry, forget I said anything… if you need my assistance
for Saturday trip, please don’t forget to ask
Imade looks
up in shock
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
Please
don’t tell me you forgot about the fashion show on Sunday
Imade exhales in relief
IMADE
Of
course, the fashion show, how can I forget?
Wemimo smiles sadly and
turns to leave with his son in his arm
IMADE
Wemimo!
Wemimo turns back to her
IMADE
By
chance, did Bankole tell you anything?
WEMIMO
Is
he suppose to?
IMADE
Of
course not, there is nothing
WEMIMO
If
there is something wrong, you need to tell me
IMADE
There
is nothing wrong, have you eaten?
Wemimo sighs deeply
WEMIMO
I
am fine
IMADE
Because
if you have not, I can make you something
WEMIMO
I
said I am fine, please go back to your work
Wemimo walks away from her
view
Next on Why?
BANKOLE
How
is getting him to sign this divorce papers for him?
IMADE
If
I leave this morning, I don’t know when I am coming back
BANKOLE
Are
you fucking kidding me?
IMADE
I am not, I don’t know when I am coming back or if I am ever coming back. While I am out there living my life with Micheal, I can’t leave him stuck with me. He needs to be about to move on and the first step to that is properly breaking the bond between us
