Previously on Why?
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?
WEMIMO
Move on, that is what I am going to do. For real this time
EPISODE 153
Look
on the bright side
EXT.
KINGS- EVENING
Wemimo stands at the entrance looking at guest
arriving for the party. Guests take their seats in five and six round each
table. The Chairman, Queen and Maami all sit at one table. Bankole take a seat
with Dunsin and some teenagers like him. Aperry and his boys occupies about
three to four table.
Wemimo paces up and down, simultaneously looking at
the road, Ann and Bintu sit at the corridor behind Wemimo looking through
pictures
BINTU
Wow, your dad is really handsome
ANN
You think he is handsome, wait till you see my elder
brother. I promise you, you will be drooling like a KG 1 kid
They flips though the pictures until they get to the
picture of Wemimo, Ann and Imade in their convocation gowns
BINTU
I see Wemimo finally has a convocation picture
ANN
I had to borrow the gown for him from someone
Ann
looks up to see Tolani come in
TOLANI
Wemimo, I need to go
WEMIMO
Why?
TOLANI
My husband is in town and he wants to meet
WEMIMO
Right now?
ANN
So, you won’t be around for the party
TOLANI
Of course I will be here, I might just be late and if
all goes well between us, I will bring him to the party
WEMIMO
Alright then, go fix your marriage
TOLANI
Thank you, Wemimo, wish me luck
Tolani leaves and Wemimo continues his pacing and this
time around he starts to sigh heavily to Ann’s annoyance
ANN
You know your constant sighing and pacing is not going
to bring her here any sooner
WEMIMO
She should be here by now
BINTU
Are you sure she didn’t run away?
WEMIMO
Why will she run away from her own party?
Bintu
says nothing and then he sees Ann’s body tenses
WEMIMO
You told her, didn’t you?
ANN
(Chuckles) No, of course not
WEMIMO
Fuck it, you told her (Pissed) Can’t you keep a
fucking secret?
BINTU
Look on the bright side, if she does run away, no one
will know what this party is really about and that way you won’t be embarrassed
ANN
(Whispers) Except your father and Queen
WEMIMO
What did I hear you say?
ANN
Nothing
WEMIMO
You told my parent too, didn’t you?
ANN
I did not
WEMIMO
Don’t you dare lie to me?
ANN
Queen came to meet me, she found out about the divorce
and wants to know the reason why you two are getting separated
WEMIMO
How did she even know?
ANN
My father
WEMIMO
(Groans) Is there nothing called lawyer, client
privilege anymore?
ANN
You are a King and your parent needs to know about
scandal that can blow back on them
WEMIMO
I am not part of The Company, my scandal does not
concern my parent, tell your father I am going to sue him
ANN
Come on, Wemimo
WEMIMO
So what did you tell my moth… what did you tell Queen?
ANN
The truth
WEMIMO
Everything?
ANN
Yes
WEMIMO
Including the affair?
ANN
Yes
WEMIMO
And today’s party too
ANN
I just said everything
WEMIMO
(Glares at Ann) Fuck you, Ann
ANN
I figure she will stop you from this madness
WEMIMO
And has she now? You think you know a lot of things
but you don’t
ANN
Well, enlighten me because she didn’t liked Imade
three years ago
WEMIMO
Yes, three years ago. Imade is not the same knocked up
girl from three years ago, she is a millionaire now. Do you think mother… I
mean Queen will just let her walk away?
There
was silence
BINTU
He actually has a point
WEMIMO
(Scoff) You think Imade cheating on me will make Queen
throw her out, I am sorry but you are highly mistaken, she will do everything
in her power to stop the divorce
ANN
I didn’t think about that
WEMIMO
That is the problem with you, you don’t think things
through. This was a chance for Imade to choose staying with me without anyone
or anything making that choice for her but you just had to come in and show
yourself, I wonder how you graduated with a first class degree
Ann
looks hurt at Wemimo’s utterance
BINTU
Come on, Wemimo, that was harsh
Bankole
runs into the house and senses the tension in the air
BANKOLE
Is everything okay?
No
one gave a response
BANKOLE
Sister is around
Wemimo’s face lightens up and he runs out. A black
Toyota corolla comes into the yard. As Imade comes out in a blue dress, the
light goes out of Wemimo’s eyes and he looks disappointed
Next on Why?
SISTER ELIZABETH
And what is the right choice?
IMADE
To be with the man I love
SISTER ELIZABETH
Micheal is married
IMADE
Not Micheal, there has to be someone else for me
SISTER ELIZABETH
Marriage is a lifetime commitment, divorce is against
the will of God
IMADE
Please don’t talk to me as a Nun, talk to me as a woman
