Previously on Why?
WEMIMO
You are okay
IMADE
No, am not… Wemi is died, how am I going to be okay?
WEMIMO
You are going to be okay
IMADE
No, it is never going to be the same, Wemimo. Each time I see you, I see him. I see you cuddling him, I see you feeding him, I see you bathing him, I see you playing with him, I see him giggling to you. Each time I see you, I see all of him and each time, I am remembered that I don’t have him anymore
EPISODE 141
Now everyone, listen up
EXT.
KINGS- NIGHT
Wemimo rest his hands on the iron embankment in the
balcony as Aunty Bebii, Onome and Bintu sets up the table with plates and
complete cutlery next to him. Shehu sits on one of the chairs watching them put
different bottles of wine on the table and places glass cups next to it.
Wemimo stands up straight when he sees a car drive to
the front yard of KINGS. Ann and Aperry comes out of it
ANN
(In a loud voice) I hope we are not late
WEMIMO
No, you are not, how was it
ANN
(Smirks) What you do think?
Aperry
smiles brightly
APERRY
He has been arrested
WEMIMO
(Chuckles) Come upstairs
The
duo goes into the house
BINTU
Is that Aperry?
WEMIMO
(Nods) yes, they got the asshole
Bintu chuckles brightly and goes out of the balcony.
Few minutes later, she come in with Aperry and Ann. Bintu goes to join Aunty
Bebii in dishing the food unto the plate while Ann and Aperry walks to Wemimo
WEMIMO
Congratulation, Aperry
The
two men hug each other
APERRY
Thank you, although this is not as satisfying as
seeing him died… I am okay with the fact that he won’t do this to anyone again
Ann
hands Wemimo an envelope. He looks at her in confusion
WEMIMO
She didn’t take it?
ANN
She didn’t do it for the money, she wanted to see him
in jail
APERRY
And he will stay here
WEMIMO
He is going to stay locked up right?
ANN
What are you saying, with the evidence we have against
him, he is going to rot in jail
WEMIMO
We have seen rich and powerful people wiggle their way
out some damning evidence
APERRY
Are you saying there is a chance he can be set free?
ANN
(Glares at Wemimo) Why are you causing unnecessary
commotion, with the evidence levied against him, he is not coming out any time
soon
APERRY
He better because the moment he is set free, I am
going to kill him
WEMIMO
And I will help him
ANN
No need to be paranoid, he is going to stay lock up, I
will make sure of it
Ann
walks away from them to join the ladies.
APERRY
Wemimo, I can’t thank you enough for what you did for
me
WEMIMO
You are family and family take care of each
Aperry turns his gaze to Bintu and he stares at her
with longing. Wemimo notices this
WEMIMO
Okay, when did this start between you two?
APERRY
What?
WEMIMO
You and Bintu, don’t lie to me, I know you are
sleeping with her
APERRY
I should have told you this a long time ago
A
warm smile envelopes Wemimo’s face
WEMIMO
You can rectify that by telling me now… How did you
make her love you? Hell, how did you even make her see you?
APERRY
She told you that
WEMIMO
That you two are dating, no
APERRY
No, I mean she told you that she loves me
WEMIMO
She does not have to, it is obvious that she cares
about you
APERRY
It all started on the day Wemi was buried, no one
wanted to go home, so we came to work here as a distraction. But it was not
distracting, at a point, we started drinking. One way or the other, Bintu and
I…
WEMIMO
Hooked up and then one night stand turned to so many
night stands
APERRY
I should have told you this a long time ago
WEMIMO
You told me then or now, I am still going to support
you two. All I ask is that you take good care of her, she might be my ex but I
care about her a lot
APERRY
Of course
AUNTY BEBII
Are we here to talk or we are here to eat?
The duo joins the party as they all take their seat
and Wemimo sees an empty seat
WEMIMO
Sister is not yet back
TOLANI
I am here
Tolani
comes in in a haste and takes her seat
TOLANI
Sorry, I am late
WEMIMO
It is fine, we are about to start anyway
TOLANI
I have some good news, Aso Rock called
Ann
looks up in surprise from her food
ANN
Aso what?
TOLANI
Aso Rock, the First lady wants to change her wardrobe,
she wants KINGS make the designs and also sew them
WEMIMO
(In disbelief) You serious?
TOLANI
Now, why would I joke about something like that?
ANN
Wow!
BINTU
(Chuckles) this is a big deal, Congratulations, Wemimo
WEMIMO
(Chuckles) Thank you, so what is the way forward?
TOLANI
We will need a sit down with her, of course
WEMIMO
Good, but take the designers with you
TOLANI
The thing is… she wants Imade to do it
BINTU
(Surprise) What?
TOLANI
She want Imade to design every dress for her wardrobe
ANN
Waoh! I guess she still gat it
Wemimo
looks annoyed as he looks at Ann
WEMIMO
What do mean she still gat it?
ANN
All I am saying is that she is still remembered
WEMIMO
You all seem to have forgotten that KINGS was built on
Imade’s back, and without her, it won’t have existed
ANN
You don’t know that
WEMIMO
Oh! I do and just because she is not involved in the
day to day activities does not mean she is not the most important person in
KINGS…
Wemimo stands up straight away, commanding everyone’s
attention to himself
WEMIMO
Now everyone, listen up. This have gone for far too
long and it has to stop. Imade is my boss, your boss, our boss and I won’t
tolerate any disrespect towards her anymore
ANN
Good thing she is not my boss
WEMIMO
Cut the crap, Ann, we both know she will be your boss
one day… I won’t forgive anyone throwing shit at her, is that clear?
EVERYONE
Yes
ANN
Can we eat now?
He
sits back down
WEMIMO
Sister, you are going to call the First Lady back and
tell her that Imade is indisposed and she can’t design anything for her
TOLANI
What?
AUNTY BEBII
Is she sick?
WEMIMO
No, she is not but she won’t be able to design
anything
BINTU
No one says no to the first lady
WEMIMO
If I say no to her, will she arrest me?
TOLANI
No but don’t you understand what this can do for
KINGS, Imade do this and we will be in her favour. We are lobbying for the NYSC
contract, with her by our side, it is ours
BINTU
We play our cards right, we might even get the
contract for the jungle boots
WEMIMO
If I still remember clearly, you all were clamoring
for me to throw her out few months ago, you said we needed new blood, new
inspiration and new designs as I recall and now all of a sudden, she is the
solution to all of our problems
TOLANI
Don’t be cynical, Wemimo, this is good for KINGS
WEMIMO
Imade is KINGS and I am saying it is not good for her
ANN
Imade is not sick, why can’t she do it
WEMIMO
You were at my house yesterday, did you see her?
Ann
looks away
WEMIMO
Ann, answer my fucking question, did you see her?
ANN
No
WEMIMO
She won’t even come out of our bedroom, how can
someone like that design anything?
ANN
Maybe if you ask her, maybe she will want to do it
WEMIMO
No one is asking her anything, Sister, you are going
to call the First Lady back and tell her we are not interested if she can’t
make do with the designers we have
TOLANI
We are interested you are ju…
APERRY
Tolani, he said no, let it go
Tolani reluctantly stops talking and she puts up the
cutlery beside her plate of food
WEMIMO
Aunty Bebii, you kept Imade’s food right
Aunty
Bebii nods
ANN
I am sure Queen will feed her tonight
Wemimo
glares at Ann
ANN
I am just saying
ONOME
Your parents are still with you?
WEMIMO
Yes and they are not showing signs of leaving anytime
soon… Frankly, I don’t mind it. Someone needs to stay with Imade when I am not
around
Spoons
and fork clanging at the plate can be heard as they eat
ANN
So, Bintu, how is sex with Aperry?
Bintu
tenses up immediately
BINTU
Wha…what are you saying?
ONOME
Don’t lie to us
She
looks at Aperry
APERRY
I didn’t tell them anything
TOLANI
He does not have too, we can smell it on you
SHEHU
It…it… is so obvious
AUNTY BEBII
Even Shehu’s whose head is always bent over work knows
They
all laugh at her discomfort
ANN
Who fucks better between him and Wemimo?
WEMIMO
Oh! Come on
ONOME
Good thing Imade is not here
ANN
I don’t think she will care
Wemimo opens his mouth to talk back to Ann but Aunty
Bebii beats him to it
AUNTY BEBII
Can’t you do anything without mentioning Imade?
ANN
I didn’t, she did
APERRY
Let just eat
Ann
pours herself a glass of wine
TOLANI
You are yet to answer her question
ANN
Oh! That is true
BINTU
Sister Tolani, I heard the governor couldn’t keep his
eyes off you at the inauguration
ANN
What?
Tolani looks at Wemimo and he raises his hands up in
self defense
WEMIMO
Don’t look at me, she didn’t hear it from me
ANN
So it is true
APERRY
(Talks to Bintu) I told you that in confidence
AUNTY BEBII
Pillow talk, even the strongest man falls to it
WEMIMO
Not all men are like that
BINTU
Trust me, you are all like that
ANN
We are not changing the subject, the Governor likes
you?
TOLANI
He is a married man and I am married too
ANN
Still, he is attracted to you, you still gat it
TOLANI
I may be married but I am still very much young.
Bintu, who fucks you better between Wemimo and Aperry?
ANN
We are not changing the subject
Tolani
groans loudly
BINTU
What are you doing here?
IMADE
Am I not welcomed here anymore, because the last time I checked I am still the CEO?
BINTU
In the name only
IMADE
What?
