WEMIMO
Is that the divorce paper?
BANKOLE
Yes, she asked me to give it to you
WEMIMO
Return it back to her when she returns
BANKOLE
There is a letter, she said it will help you understand why she left if you read it
WEMIMO
I don’t want to read it, I don’t think I can understand why she left me, why she left us, why she took my son away from me by just reading a letter. So when she comes back, give it back her
BANKOLE
Are you guys going to be okay?
WEMIMO
I don’t know Bankole, I really don’t know
EPISODE 107
Divorce settlement
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE-
CONTINOUS
Wemimo sits
on the stairs in the front of his flat reading the divorce papers. Tolani and
Bintu comes out of the flat and walks few steps down to meet Wemimo on the
stairs
TOLANI
Wemimo,
I thought you said that Imade will be back by five, where the hell is she?
WEMIMO
She
will be back soon, just wait
TOLANI
How
much longer are we suppose to wait?
WEMIMO
(Snaps) You
can’t exactly go without her now, can you?
TOLANI
Who the hell do you think you are talking?
WEMIMO
(Release a defeated sigh) I ma sorry. please wait
TOLANI
There
are better thing I could be doing with my time instead of just sitting here and
wa…
They hear
the gate squeak and they all look up to see Imade coming in with Wemi strapped
to her back and her travelling bag in her hand
BINTU
Here
she is
TOLANI
Imade,
you knew what we had planned for today, where the fuck have you been?
WEMIMO
I
will like to talk to Imade, please go inside
TOLANI
What
the fuck are you talking about, we are late already
Imade comes
closer to them and they see her red eyes. Bintu widens her eyes in surprise
BINTU
Imade,
are you okay?
WEMIMO
Please
go inside, I will like to talk to her
TOLANI
Are
we still going to Abuja or not
WEMIMO
Of
course we are, I just need five minutes
TOLANI
Fine
then
WEMIMO
Bintu,
please take Wemi inside
Tolani
sighs and goes inside while Imade unstraps Wemi from her back and hands him to
Bintu. With Wemi, Imade watch Bintu go inside their flat
WEMIMO
Whoever
drew this divorce paper for you was not fair to you
IMADE
You
knew all along, didn’t you?
Wemimo nods as Imade looks
so distressed
IMADE
Since
when?
WEMIMO
From
your first meeting with Micheal outside of KINGS
Imade opens her mouth in
shock
IMADE
What?
How?
WEMIMO
Aperry
IMADE
Of
course, it is Aperry. I am so sorry, Wemimo
WEMIMO
I
just wish you had told me yourself instead of sending your brother to me
IMADE
I
couldn’t face you
WEMIMO
Still,
I would have preferred you told me to my face
IMADE
I
am sorry
WEMIMO
I
am sorry too…. I am the reason why Micheal didn’t come to the airport
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
I
was hurt by the fact that you wanted to leave your family for him. So I had
Aperry and his boys ambush him on his way to you and they made sure that he
showed up for wedding. It was while reading your letter did I realise how you truly
felt about us, of course I knew you were unhappy with me but I didn’t know it
was that bad. That was why I said you should have told me to my face. If you
had, I won’t have come between you two. I am sorry
IMADE
So
what is going to happen to us now?
He raise the file in his
hands up
WEMIMO
Ann
is going to make preparation for a new divorce paper
Imade opens her mouth in
shock
IMADE
What?
WEMIMO
I
mean this one is trash, so a new one that will be fair to you will be drawn up
IMADE
I
don’t care about anything
WEMIMO
I
know you don’t, but I do. I can’t just take KINGS away from you, She is what
she is today because of your designs. KINGS will not be a part of our divorce
settlement
IMADE
You
don’t have to do this
WEMIMO
Like
I said I do, you own KINGS and….
IMADE
I
meant that you don’t have to divorce me, Micheal is gone. We don’t have to
divorce anymore
A deafening silence occurs
WEMIMO
I
thought you said you were miserable and being with me is suffocating
IMADE
But
Maami… what will Maami say when she finds?
WEMIMO
You
didn’t think about how she will react when you did this
IMADE
I
thought I would be long gone and I won’t have to face her
WEMIMO
Well
if you say you want to be with me, then there is no problem but you are going
to keep being miserable and I will be stuck with you too or you take this
chance to free yourself from me and see other people maybe even get back with
Micheal while I get to meet the woman meant for me. The ball is in your court,
Imade
IMADE
What
about Maami?
WEMIMO
We
tell her we were not working, which is not exactly a lie
IMADE
And
Ann? What do we tell her?
WEMIMO
She
never wanted us together anyway
IMADE
I
don’t want her to know about Micheal
WEMIMO
And
she won’t… so what do you say Imade?
IMADE
Let
do this, it is probably for the best
WEMIMO
Good,
like I was saying before, you keep been the CEO of KINGS.
IMADE
I
don’t want anything from KINGS
WEMIMO
Yes,
you do. If you want to keep eating chicken and maybe live in a mansion one day
which I know you will love to, then you need KINGS. You don’t have perform any
duties, you don’t have to even design. You just be the CEO, that is all I ask
IMADE
Then
what about Wemi?
WEMIMO
I
was coming to him… he is my son and I am not letting him go, so, I will like to
share his custody with you. Even if you end up with Micheal, I will still love
to be in his life
IMADE
No
problem
WEMIMO
You
should go to the fashion show, not for me, not for KINGS but for yourself
IMADE
(Nodding)
Alright
WEMIMO
Do
you need to pack?
IMADE
No,
I have everything I need here
Wemimo stands up and calls
his sister
WEMIMO
It
is time
Bintu who stands next to the
door the whole time listening to them quickly leave the door with a smile on
her face. Wemimo walks back to Imade
WEMIMO
When
I get a place, I will come for my stuff
IMADE
You
are leaving?
WEMIMO
We
are divorcing Imade, we can’t be together anymore
IMADE
We
are still going to be friends right?
WEMIMO
I
am in love with you Imade, even after you tried to leave me for Micheal, I
still am. If I am going to move on from you, I need space from you
Imade nods
WEMIMO
If
this is going to work, Maami can’t know about the divorce until we are legally
divorced
IMADE
I
know
Tolani and
Bintu comes downstairs with Wemi. Wemimo collects Wemi from them and he watch
them move out of the house in Tolani’s car
Next on Why?
ANN
At
least tell me the reason why you two are getting divorced, you owe me an
explanation
WEMIMO
(Scoffs)
I owe you nothing
ANN
