Previously on Why?
TOLANI
It is the same reason why I left my husband
WEMIMO
You left your husband because you were in his shadow and you were drowning in his world. This is different, you get to be the head and not in the shadow, don’t you want the experience?
TOLANI
Say I want it, I am still a married woman, I need to talk with my husband before accepting the job
WEMIMO
The same husband that you have trying to talk to for over a year but won’t speak to you
EPISODE 150
Two
choices
INT.
KINGS- EVENING
With her head bend over work, she sits in her office
designing some dresses on her sketch pad. She hears a knock
IMADE
Come in
The door opens and Wemimo comes in with two black
hanging garment bags with a brown envelope in his hand
WEMIMO
Hey!
IMADE
Hey
Wemimo sits in the chair opposite her with a table
between them
IMADE
Did you know Ann is around?
WEMIMO
Yeah
IMADE
So, I was the only one who didn't know
WEMIMO
She came back yesterday, don’t beat yourself up
IMADE
But Bankole knows and I, her friend does not (Scoffs)
are we even still friends?
She
sees the stuffs with Wemimo
IMADE
What is that?
Wemimo slowly passes the brown envelope to her on the
table. She opens the envelope and brings out the file in it. She reads through
the paper and looks at Wemimo
IMADE
Divorce paper?
WEMIMO
(Nods) I want to give you a fresh start
IMADE
I thought we were past this
WEMIMO
I am going to give you two choices, Imade…
IMADE
Which are?
WEMIMO
You can choose to sign or not (pats the black hanging
garment bag) But, If you choose to sign, I want you to wear the blue dress to the
after party on your convocation day
IMADE
I can’t even sign this, Maami…
WEMIMO
I already talked to Maami, she is not happy about it,
but she understands
IMADE
Bankole…
WEMIMO
We had a talk too, he understands that it is our lives
to live
IMADE
So, you are saying I can sign this paper without any
repercussion
WEMIMO
Yes
IMADE
And if I choose not to sign
WEMIMO
Then you wear the white dress and your convocation
party becomes our vow renewal party
IMADE
A vow renewal party?
WEMIMO
Yes, like I said, a fresh start and this time... with my
parent’s blessing
IMADE
This is so sudden
WEMIMO
You don’t have to decide now, you have until the after
party. But if you choose not to sign, Imade, I want to be your husband in every
way and say in three, five years, I want start a family with you
IMADE
And if I choose to sign, will things still be the same
between us?
WEMIMO
Of course, we will still be friends, we just won’t be
sharing a room anymore
Imade
chuckles
IMADE
So, everything comes down to the dress I wear, blue for
as a divorcee and white as a married woman
WEMIMO
Yes
IMADE
Does Ann know about this?
WEMIMO
Yes
Imade
nods
IMADE
After party it is then
Wemimo
stands up
WEMIMO
I won’t be coming home tonight, Sister Tolani will
take you home
IMADE
Alright
He opens the door and goes out. Imade sigh heavily as
she looks at the divorce paper. After few minutes of staring at the paper,
Imade picks her pen to sign the papers when the door suddenly opens. She
looks up and see Aunty Bebii at the door
IMADE
Aunty Bebii
AUNTY BEBII
Are you actually going to sign those papers?
IMADE
You know about this
Aunty Bebii moves closer to Imade closing the door
behind her. Aunty Bebii sigh heavily when she sees the ink of her pen on the
paper
AUNTY BEBII
You were actually going to sign, Imade, he gave you a
chance to stay with him and yet, you want to leave him
IMADE
Does everyone in KINGS know about this?
AUNTY BEBII
I know I didn’t have the best marriage, so I stay out
of things that are not my business but Imade, you are a fool
Imade
huffs and drops the pen in her hand on the table
IMADE
Aunty Bebii, I am not in love with him
AUNTY BEBII
Love? (Bursts into laughter) look at her talking about
love. You have a man like Wemimo and you are crying about love
IMADE
I know you all love him but don’t I have a right to be
with a man I love
AUNTY BEBII
And who is that man please? Micheal Omoloja? Because
the last time I checked, he is still a married man
IMADE
There will always be someone else
AUNTY BEBII
Are you that confident? Are you sure you will ever
find another man that will love you like Wemimo does, a man that will fight for
you against all odds, a man that will stay with you no matter the circumstance,
a man that is willing to forgive your atrocities when you sure as hell does not
deserve it yourself, a man that wants you for you, a man that will give you
everything and ask for nothing in return, are you that confident that you can
get another man like that?
Imade
becomes emotional
IMADE
I don’t love him
AUNTY BEBII
Jesus! you don’t know what you have, you have gold in
your hands and you don’t know what to do with it… Such a pity. Go ahead and
sign the papers, your loss is another woman’s gain
Aunty
Bebii turns to leave
IMADE
Aunty Bebii, wait
Aunty
Bebii turns back to her
IMADE
Please try and understand me, I don’t love him
Aunty
Bebii signs heavily
AUNTY BEBII
Take a look at your sister-in-law, Tolani, she loves
her husband dearly but it was not enough. Her marriage has crashed, she just
refused to accept it. That is also love, that you are in love with someone does
not mean you two are meant to be. Imade, you sign those papers, I
guarantee you will regret it
Aunty Bebii opens the door and bang it on her way out.
Imade becomes confused as she lies her head on the table
ANN
Arrant nonsense, you are just stalling
WEMIMO
I want her to think it through
ANN
Still stalling, you knew she was going to sign it if
you asked for an answer immediately
WEMIMO
She might sign it even with that
ANN
And if she does sign it, what are you going to do?
