Previously on Why?
ANN
I know you think that I want this divorce, yeah maybe I do, but please consider Bankole, he is going to be badly affected by this divorce if you go through with it
WEMIMO
Bankole will be fine, I will make sure of it. Now can I have it?
EPISODE 119
That should be my line
CONTINUATION FROM LAST
EPISODE
INT. A TEACHING HOSPITAL IN
IBADAN- AFTERNOON
A pissed Wemimo angrily
talks to Ann
WEMIMO
What
the fuck is wrong with you, Ann?
IMADE
It
is fine, Wemimo, you have signed yours, I should sign mine. Bankole, please pass
me the bag next to you
Bankole looks at his sister
unhappy
IMADE
Bankole,
I am talking to you
BANKOLE
Ann,
please can I see you outside
ANN
What
for?
Bankole
picks the bag that Imade asked him to pass to her and walked out with it
ANN
What
the fuck is wrong with him?
WEMIMO
You
have to follow him to know that
Ann walks
out of the room to meet Bankole who is pacing at the end of the long corridor
ANN
Okay,
what is wrong with you?
He looks up at Ann in
annoyance
BANKOLE
That
should be my line, what is wrong with you?
Ann becomes perplexed
ANN
What
have I done?
BANKOLE
Why
are you so hell bent on splitting them apart?
ANN
Oh,
is this about Imade and Wemimo?
She says
with indifference as Bankole looks at her in disbelief
BANKOLE
Is
this a joke to you?
ANN
What?
BANKOLE
You
are about to destroy a family, do you think it is a joke?
The chuckle on her mouth
fades away at Bankole’s utterance
ANN
I
beg your pardon, what do you mean destroy a family? Imade did that all by
herself in case you forgot, she cheated on Wemimo
Bankole screams in silence
BANKOLE
I
know that, I know that she cheated on him but I also know that what she did can
be forgiven if you just give them a chance to reconcile
ANN
Reconcile?
Wemimo already signed the divorce, he wants to divorce her. I didn’t ask him to
do that, it is what he wants
BANKOLE
We
both know he does not want that
ANN
But
your sister does, he is only giving her what she wants
BANKOLE
My
sister is an idiot, Brother Wemimo is the best man for her, she just does not
know it. If you just work with me, we can keep them together
ANN
They
both reached a mutual agreement to go their separate ways, what makes you think
they will change their decision?
BANKOLE
Wemi
is sick, it is obvious they need to be together for him. We can stop the
divorce, Ann, if you just work with me
ANN
But
I don’t want to stop the divorce
BANKOLE
Ann!
ANN
Marrying
your sister is the biggest mistake of his life, she has done nothing but hurt
him physically and emotionally
BANKOLE
Ann,
you are talking about my sister
ANN
I
know and it is not like I am lying… you have been with them since the start of the
fiasco they call a marriage, you have seen how she treats him. Do you know they
have not even had sex? Its been almost two years and they are yet to consummate
their marriage, do you call that a marriage?
Your sister does not deserve him, there are better women for him
Bankole scoffs
BANKOLE
Women
like who? Bintu?
ANN
As
a matter of fact, yes. She is a better fit, your sister is mistake that I will
do anything in my power to help him rectify it
BANKOLE
How
can you say that?
ANN
I
know this may seem cruel to you but Wemimo is family and I protect my family
BANKOLE
I
thought my sister was family too or is she one when the situation calls for it?
ANN
In
this situation, Wemimo is my priority, I am sorry
Ann turns to walk away
BANKOLE
So
you want to Wemi to grow up like you?
Ann turns to Bankole in
confusion
ANN
Excuse
me?
BANKOLE
Having
a father who only sent gifts and never shows up when he is needed, working so
hard just so he can get his attention and love, seeing his step siblings as
rivals. I have seen how miserable that makes you, do you want that for Wemitoo?
Ann looks very pissed
ANN
How
dare you say that to me?
He looks remorseful
BANKOLE
That
was unfair, I am sorry
Ann turns to leave but he
quickly hold her back by the arm
BANKOLE
Ann,
please help me out
She becomes really angry
ANN
I
love you, Bankole but right now, you are annoying the shit out of me. Get your
fucking hands off me
Bankole
releases her and watch her take two steps away from him
BANKOLE
This
is my family too, Ann
Ann stops walking away
BANKOLE
This
last year with Brother Wemimo, my family felt complete, it is complete… please
help me keep it that way
Ann slowly turns to Bankole
and looks like she just realised something
ANN
(In
surprise) Oh my God!
BANKOLE
Why
are you ohhing your God?
ANN
Because
of the way you act, I forgot that you are still a child
BANKOLE
What?
ANN
A
child that is about to be from a broken home
BANKOLE
What
do you mean a broken home? My father died a long time ago
ANN
But
you had another one… Wemimo. You said it yourself, your family was complete
this last year. The only person that was missing was a father and Wemimo fit
right into that role and he made it complete. Like any child that is about
to lose his father, you are throwing a tantrum
BANKOLE
A
tantrum, I am about to lose my family and you think I am throwing a tantrum
ANN
You
are not losing your family, you are just losing Wemimo, a man that was not in
the equation before
He talks with agony
BANKOLE
But
he is family to me and I don’t want to lose my family
Ann walks back to him and
holds his hands
ANN
I
am so sorry that you are in the middle of this
Bankole removes his hands
from Ann’s
BANKOLE
Say
you are right that I see Brother Wemimo as a father, will you help me keep my
family together?
ANN
No
BANKOLE
Ann,
please
ANN
If
I help you now and we stopped the divorce, your sister and Wemimo are two
people that should not be together, so this divorce that you don’t want will
eventually happen. Maybe not now, maybe in two, say five or ten years but trust
me when I say it will happen and do you know who will be in the position that
you are in now… Wemimo Alani King!
BANKOLE
You
don’t know that
ANN
Oh
I do, at least you have a way out, you are going to school but Wemi, that poor
boy will be stuck with them with no way out. So it is better Wemi learns about
the dynamics of his family on time, so that he does not get hurt
Bankole breathes in and out
and looks at Ann angrily
BANKOLE
You
are not God, how can you predict the future?
ANN
Bankole!
BANKOLE
No,
tell me why I should listen to you predict nonsense about my family
ANN
Bankole,
this divorce is happening and there is nothing you can do about it
Bankole smiles as he uses
his back to walk away from Ann
BANKOLE
Oh, watch me
ANN
What
can you do?
BANKOLE
What
I should have done from the start
He walks away from the view
of a confused Ann
ANN
What
he should have done from the start, what is he talking about?
Ann’s
eyebrows raises up in realisation as she opens her mouth in surprise
ANN
Oh
my God! Bankole
She runs after him
Next on Why?
ANN
This
is not right
WEMIMO
Stay out of this
ANN
You
are using the fact that he cannot say no to you to emotionally blackmail him
back into this hell of a marriage
