Previously on Why?
TOLANI
If we are talking about each other, let me ask, how are things with you and Imade?
WEMIMO
Honestly, I don’t know, at least you can call your husband, I can’t even call my wife. I haven’t seen her in four months, she does not want to talk to me or hear my voice
TOLANI
Okay let me just tell you this, your marriage is not healthy and since there is no child between you two anymore, you need to let her go
EPISODE 135
Iya Agba
EXT. IMADE’S HOUSE- EVENING
Wemimo sits in front of his house on the stairs as
Maami’s cries blasted throughout the whole compound from inside their apartment. The
gate of the compound opens and he watch Aunty Bebii, Bintu and Ann walk into
the compound
He smiles to them as they walk up the steps
AUNTY BEBII
We heard what happened
WEMIMO
Thanks for coming
BINTU
I am so sorry that this is happening in this family
again
WEMIMO
She was so sick, the doctors told us to prepare
ourselves but we never quite wrapped our head around it yet
AUNTY BEBII
How is Maami doing?
WEMIMO
I am pretty sure you can hear her
BINTU
I thought since she was old, it won’t be that painful
AUNTY BEBII
No matter how old a mother is, she will be always be a
mother and her absence will be deeply felt
ANN
Aren’t you suppose to be in here with her?
WEMIMO
My parent and some guests are with her
AUNTY BEBII
I will check on her
Aunty Bebii goes upstairs with Bintu. After they left,
Wemimo sees Ann smirking at him
WEMIMO
What?
ANN
My parent?
WEMIMO
What about it?
ANN
It is nice that you consider Queen your parent
WEMIMO
Well, recently she has been a parent to me
ANN
It is really strange seeing her mother you
WEMIMO
What is more strange is the fact that they left their
mansion for this place… when they told me they will stay here until Imade is
back, I thought they were joking and they will leave within three days
ANN
(Chuckles) You gave them three days, I gave them a
night. Has it not been three weeks?
WEMIMO
Over a month and they are not showing any sign of
leaving anytime soon
ANN
Are they disturbing you?
WEMIMO
No, they won’t hear me say this but I am happy they
forced themselves into my house. I didn’t know I needed the company
Ann
smiles brightly to him
WEMIMO
What is it with the smile?
ANN
You didn’t just build your company these last two
years, you built a relationship with your family too. I am happy for you…
really
WEMIMO
These won’t have happened if I didn’t become a father
to Wemi
ANN
You don’t know that
WEMIMO
Maybe but what I do know is that I miss my son, I miss
him badly
ANN
I know, I miss him too, we all do
WEMIMO
I will do anything to have my family back
ANN
You have your family
WEMIMO
But without Wemi… it feels incomplete
ANN
Has Imade been here to see her mom?
WEMIMO
I haven’t told her
ANN
What?
WEMIMO
She is writing her final exams, I don’t want to
distract her
ANN
I am writing my finals too and you told me
Wemimo
sighs heavily
WEMIMO
Ann, please don’t do this now
ANN
This is not about your issue with her, don’t you think she deserves to know that her grandma died?
WEMIMO
I don’t know how she is going to react to it
ANN
Probably the same way a person will react to the death
of a loved one
WEMIMO
You saw how she reacted to Wemi’s death
ANN
Yeah, she is his mother… she was his mother, that is
normal
WEMIMO
Well, is it normal for her to leave home, to leave her family.
She just took off after his burial, she didn’t even come to pack her stuff, she
just left. I can’t tell her this because I don't know how she will take this
ANN
Does the situation suck? Yes, but that does not give
you the right to keep something like this from her
WEMIMO
I am not keeping this from her forever, just until she
is done with her exam and project defense. I will tell her when there is
nothing else at stake that can be affected
The door to his apartment opens and Tolani, Aunty
Bebii and Bintu comes out of the house
TOLANI
Why are you two always arguing?
ANN
What can I say, your brother can be stupid at times
The
trio gets to Wemimo and Ann
AUNTY BEBII
Can’t you two do without fighting?
WEMIMO
How is Maami?
TOLANI
She is resting now
BINTU
I didn’t know that crying can take out the strength in
a person
AUNTY BEBII
Anything about the funeral?
WEMIMO
Yes, father and I have been discussing
ANN
I hope you know that there can’t be a big party
because of Wemi…. He just died
TOLANI
I know but that does not mean she has to be buried
like a dog
WEMIMO
The plan is organize a small get together for when we
bury her next week at Ogbomosho
BINTU
You are burying her next week, that is fast
WEMIMO
Keeping her body in the morgue for a long time won’t
bring her back… but we are going to be having her final burial sometimes next
year, then we can have a big party
ANN
And Imade won’t be coming to her grandmother burial,
isn’t that right Wemimo?
WEMIMO
(Snaps) At least she will be at the final burial
BINTU
Are you two fighting about Imade again?
TOLANI
Can you two not fight again?
ANN
I can’t seem to understand your brother at all, I am
going home
WEMIMO
That is good
Ann
turns and leaves
AUNTY BEBII
I will see you tomorrow
Tolani
leaves with Aunty Bebii and Bintu
ANN
What is that all about?
WEMIMO
Nothing important, what is wrong?
BINTU
Wemimo, you need to call Aperry
WEMIMO
What? Is something wrong with him?
