ANN
She is just worried about you, as I am. Look at you, have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately? You don’t look good at all, are you even sleeping? I can’t believe Imade will just left you alone in all this
WEMIMO
Leave her alone, she is grieving
ANN
So are you? She is not the only one whose heart bleeds for him, yours do too, mine too.
EPISODE 133
What
happened to you, Wemimo?
INT.
KINGS- AFTERNOON
Wemimo and Ann enters KINGS and both walk upstairs
discussing. Wemimo looks very much better than the other day. He looks like
himself again.
WEMIMO
Come on, Ann, she is a prostitute
ANN
And so fucking what?
Ann argues defensively and on getting to the second
floor, he stops and faces her
WEMIMO
I know because you are a woman, you feel the need to
belie…
ANN
Being a woman has nothing do with this
WEMIMO
So, a prostitute tells you she was raped and you
believe her?
ANN
Why not? Prostitutes can be raped too you know
WEMIMO
Let me get your story right, this suppose client, who is a prostitute said a Minister called her
ANN
She was not my client, not anymore at least but yes, he
called her
WEMIMO
So, she went to meet him at the hotel?
ANN
Yes
WEMIMO
Then she entered the bedroom to meet him?
ANN
What is your point?
WEMIMO
Indulge me, Ann, she entered the bedroom with him,
climbed into his bed and at the very last minute, she tells him no, am I getting
the story right?
ANN
Where are you going with this?
WEMIMO
She has already given him consent by climbing his bed
with him, hell she gave consent by obliging his calls
ANN
I don’t give a fuck what kind of consent she gave him
at first, the moment she told him no, he should have stopped
WEMIMO
That is if she is telling the truth, she could be
lying
ANN
And she could be telling the truth, the fact that she
is a prostitute does not mean she is a less of a person and her truth can’t be
listen to
Ann
continues upstairs
WEMIMO
Wait, Ann
She
turns back to him
ANN
What else do you want to say again? I already feel
terrible that my father rejected her case and I came to you to make me forget
about it but here you are making me feel like shit
WEMIMO
I believe that you believe that she is telling the
truth
ANN
She is telling the truth, Wemimo. What woman will lie
about rape?
WEMIMO
A woman that wants a big cash out
Ann
opens her mouth and looks at Wemimo in disbelief
ANN
What happened to you, Wemimo?
She
continues upstairs
WEMIMO
Wait, Ann
He
runs after her
ANN
Leave me alone
WEMIMO
Wait, Ann, I am sorry
She continues to walk away but he drags her back
forcefully. She struggles to free herself from his hold.
WEMIMO
You are a rational person, why are you acting with
emotions?
Ann
stops struggling
WEMIMO
You know yourself that she does not have a case
because of what she does and even if she does, the man she is accusing is a
fucking minister, things won’t go well for her
ANN
(Sighs heavily) I know
WEMIMO
I know it hurts but no one believes her story and you
that actually believe her, you are not a lawyer yet. So, there is nothing you
can do for her
ANN
I know and that is why it hurts so much. You should
have seen her, Wemimo, you will feel for her. She is going through something no
woman should even experience
WEMIMO
You are going to have more devastating cases like this
but you can’t let them swallow you like this is about to.
They hear footstep from above them and they look up to
see Aunty Bebii
AUNTY BEBII
Is everything okay?
WEMIMO
Yes
AUNTY BEBII
Then are we doing this or not?
Wemimo puts his arm round Ann’s shoulder and they both
went upstairs to the balcony where Bintu, Onome and Tolani are waiting. Aunty
Bebii joins them.
At the next house to them, there is a bulldozer in
front of the house ready to bulldoze it down
WEMIMO
Where is Shehu?
AUNTY BEBII
He wants to finish the cloth he is making before
joining us upstairs
ANN
Aperry is not here?
BINTU
At the moment, he is not available
Ann
looks at Wemimo
ANN
On a day like this, he is missing
WEMIMO
(Chuckles softly) Look at you, do you miss him? Is
that it?
ANN
Ah! Ah! Ah! Not funny… it is just that he is always in
your corner and this won’t be possible without his help. I figured he will be
here to see it
WEMIMO
Some things came up and he couldn’t make it
Wemimo
looks around and breathes in and out in relief
WEMIMO
Two years ago, we started in Aunty Bebii’s small shop
AUNTY BEBII
(With bright smile) Yes, I remember
TOLANI
You mean the time where you came to beg me to please
give you a job
BINTU
And he begged me to choose a fabric for him
Everyone
bursts into laughter
WEMIMO
Ah! Ah! Ah! Not funny
They
even laugh more and Wemimo starts to chuckles
WEMIMO
Yes, that time, it seems like a long time ago
ANN
Except it was not, it was just two years and just like
then, Imade is missing
His
smile disappears and he removes his arms from her shoulder
ANN
What? I am just saying the truth
WEMIMO
Now is not the time for your truth… we were having
such a good time, why do you have to ruin it?
ANN
I just felt sh…
WEMIMO
You should feel nothing, Imade could not make it, we
move on
ANN
We both know that even if she can make it, she is not
goi…
TOLANI
(Snaps) Ann, let it go
Ann keeps quiet and the atmosphere become tense for
some minutes
ANN
(Sighs) I will love to see Baba Ibeji’s face right now
Wemimo burst out into laughter and the group joins him
WEMIMO
I will love to see his face too
ANN
He will be so angry when he finds out you demolished
his house
ONOME
Wemimo!
He
shifts his gaze to her
ONOME
Did you ever think a day like this will come, a day
where you are about to build your own factory and a big ass one at that?
WEMIMO
Yes, I knew a day like that will come
BINTU
Oh now, you are just been cocky
WEMIMO
I knew it will happen, I just didn’t know it will only
take me two years
TOLANI
And you say you are not cocky
They laugh out loud and Wemimo moves closer to balcony
where he sees the foreman and his man ready to start work
FOREMAN
(In a loud voice) Mr. King, should we start?
WEMIMO
Bring it down
And with that, a loud noise blasted out when the
bulldozer is kick start to life
Next on Why?
WEMIMO
Imade is the CEO of KINGS, she will always be a part
of KINGS
BINTU
A CEO that is only in the name, a CEO that has not
been in her own company in over five months, even before Wemi’s demise, how can
you hand her such important responsibility
WEMIMO
You don’t tell me what to do
BINTU
It is not about telling you what to do, it is about you holding unto her after she has abandoned you
