Episode 20(In a Thousand Ways)

| LETTER OF AFFECTION |

Dear Hope,

In a thousand ways, I have let you down

In a thousand ways, I have concurred with my demons.

In a thousand ways, I have denied you your identity.

Although you are a product of the worst moments of my life, I have no one but myself to blame.

I was young and naïve still; I could not look you in the eyes and take pride in my identity as a breast host.

I can not change the past or bring back the years you spent outside of my motherly love and affection.

I can only take your hands and tell you how much I want to be here for you in a thousand ways🤍

                                                                                        YourLovelyMother

"Rukky walks into the dining room."

ENIOLA

(She gets up from where she was sitting)

Any update?

RUKKY

Yes, dear

ENIIOLA

Then what are we waiting for?

Please book an appointment with them today!

(She gets up to leave)

RUKKY

Where are you going, Eniola?

ENIOLA

The Bathroom.

She can't see me like this.

RUKKY

Relax, Eniola.

They want to meet on their terms.

ENIOLA

What does that mean?

RUKKY

They will call when they are ready to meet you.

ENIOLA

Why are they doing this to me, Rukky?

I'm not asking for much I want to meet my daughter.

"Ayo walks into the dining room."

Mr A BALOGUN

Which daughter?

RUKKY

Sir, you are back?

We didn't hear you come in

Mr A BALOGUN

Why would you notice I'm home already when you spend half your day gossiping or holding a meaningless conversation?

ENIOLA

(She smiles at Ayo)

Welcome, daddy.

I guess you are home for your anniversary.

Mr A BALOGUN

Yes, my dear. You know your Mother has still not forgiven me for what happened last year

So I promised myself that I wouldn't miss today for anything in the world.

RUKKY

Aww, God, when?

I must fall in love this year. Oh.

Mr A BALOGUN

If I were both of you, I would put myself out there for marriage.

(He turns to Eniola)

Especially you, Eniola. Except you want your Grandfather to groom someone for you.

"Bisi walks into the dining room."

BISI

You mean how he is grooming Temilade for Mr Obi's only son.

Mr A BALOGUN

Bisi, how are you?

(He hugs her)

I thought you would be in your Mother's mansion by now)

BISI

I chose freedom over closure with my Mother. Except you don't want me here.

Mr A BALOGUN

Of course, I do. You can stay as long as you want. This is your home any day, any time.

I know how controlling Lolade can be.

ENIOLA

What do you expect?

She is the spitting image of her father.

(She turns to Bisi)

Please do not pick offence

BISI

Non-taken, my dear

As much as I wish she were someone else, she is who she is, but she is still my Mother, just as Chief Williams Balogun is my Grandfather.

Mr A BALOGUN

Very true.

By the way, where are Temilade and Taiwo?

RUKKY

Temi went to work.

Taiwo took Maria and Onyinye to school. He should be on his way back.

Mr A BALOGUN

I spoke to Temi last night. She was at work, so she ought to be home by now.

Hmm, alright, children, I have to see my wife now.

(He walks out of the room)

"Michael offers Kemi a seat in the sitting room."

KEMI

(She scans through the sitting room)

This place hasn't changed a bit.

Mama still leaves her bag close to the TV, and Onyinye hasn't still learnt when to take out the trash

(She gazes at the basket filled with dustbin)

MICHAEL

(He ignores her unpleasant comments)

So how long have you been in town?

KEMI

A week plus, I know you are asking yourself why I haven't come earlier.

(She smiles at Michael)

I know you miss me, Michael, and you know I miss you too.

MICHAEL

(He ignores her mischievous cry for attention)

What do you want, Kemi?

Why are you here?

KEMI

Relax Michael!

You don't have to sound so defensive.

We both knew it was best for me to leave at that time.

But I'm here now.

(She wraps her hand around his left arm)

"Temi walks into the sitting room pretending not to notice that Kemi wrapped her hand around the man of her dreams."

MICHAEL

(He frees himself from Kemi)

Kemi, I want you to meet someone specific.

This is Temilade, my...

TEMI

(She cuts Michael short)

His girlfriend.

KEMI

Wow, somebody moved on so fast.

MICHAEL

(He smiles at Kemi)

It's been three years, Madam!

Did you expect me to sit and wait for someone that is long gone?

KEMI

Hmm.

I'm happy for you.

(She turns Temi)

Treat him right. He deserves better than I ever gave him.

TEMI

Of course, he does

(She wraps her hand around Michael's arm)

KEMI

Where is my daughter?

I want to see her.

MICHAEL

Your daughter?

Don't start, Kemi.

Since when did you give a damn about the well-being of Awelle?

Shouldn't you even ask yourself if she knows you exist?

KEMI

I might have done some things in the past that I'm not proud of, but it still doesn't change the fact that she is my daughter.

Where is she?

MICHAEL

She's in school.

KEMI

Where is her school?

MICHAEL

The same place you dropped her off the last time you saw her.

KEMI

Wow, she still goes there?

I thought you would have found somewhere better for her.

MICHAEL

Kemi!

Don't start, please.

Did you come here to see your daughter or tell me what is best for the daughter you abandoned?

If you don't like what you see, that is the door you can leave

(He points at the front door)

KEMI

Relax, Michael.

By the way, where are Mama and Onyinye?

(She touches the centre table to check if it is dusty)

MICHAEL

Onyinye is in school.

Mama travelled.

"Temi's phone rings"

TEMI

Excuse me; I have to take this.

(She walks out of the sitting room)

KEMI

(She whispers to Michael)

Wow, she looks rich. Where did you meet her?

MICHAEL

That is non of your business, Kemi.

You should leave

(He grabs her by the hand)

KEMI

Hey, let me go. You are hurting me.

(She manages to pull herself from Michael)

Just so you know, she won't last long. You should dump her before history repeats itself.

MICHAEL

(He opens the door)

Get out!

KEMI

She's not good for you.

With time you will understand.

(She walks out of the house)

TAIWO

I think this is the last one

(He drops the bag of foodstuff on the ground)

MARIA

So this is it.

Thank you, Sir.

We want to thank you for all you have done for us.

OYINYE

Same here, oh.

If not because of you, I would be at home crying my life out again.

TAIWO

(He turns to Maria)

You don't have to thank me.

Your family is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Your grandmother gave me the love I wish I had with my Mom.

MARIA

Thank you, Sir.

(She hugs Taiwo)

ONYINYE

(She teases them with a series of pretentious coughs)

That's okay. Oh, me, I want to hug you too.

(She hugs Taiwo)

TAIWO

(He turns to Onyinye)

As for you, the only way you can repay my kindness is to make us proud. Remember, this isn't just about you.

Your Mother and brother are expecting a lot from you.

Your late father would do anything to be in my shoes right now. Do not disappoint him.

ONYINYE

(She suddenly remembers the dream she had in the car)

Don't worry; I will make all of you proud.

TAIWO

That's good.

Alright, guys, I have to go now.

I will call you from time to time.

MARIA

So are you going home now?

TAIWO

Not really.

I need to see my private investigator. He said he had some information for me.

ONYINYE

I knew it. You didn't just come out here because of us.

TAIWO

To be honest, I got a call from him when we were at the hotel, so yes, I drove from Festac because of both of you.

MARIA

Why did you higher a private investigator here?

You could have you your father's or one of Chief's people.

TAIWO

When trying to catch a thief, you don't hire a criminal.

I don't trust anything directly or indirectly connected to my Grandfather.

In this investigation, everybody is a suspect, and I trust both of you enough to know that you will keep this to yourselves.

MARIA

Of course, we will.

Who would we tell anyway?

TAIWO

Alright, I guess I should take my leave now.

(He walks into his car)

"Ayo walks downstairs with Bisola by his side."

Mr A BALOGUN

Bisola, are you okay?

This is the seventh time I'm asking you this question today.

Ever since I came back, you have been lost in thoughts.

Did I do something wrong?

Mrs B BALOGUN

No Ayo!

You have done nothing wrong.

I'm fine, dear.

Thank you for keeping to your promise.

Mr A BALOGUN

I know I have disappointed you in the past. And I can't make up for those lost times, but I promise to be here for you in a thousand ways.

Mrs B BALOGUN

Thank you, Ayo

(She drops her lips on his)

"Eniola and Rukky walks in"

RUKKY

Omo, God, when?

See couple goals, na.

ENIOLA

These old people don't want to grow old oh.

Daddy, grab her and kiss her again.

(She attempts to control her laughter)

Mrs B BALOGUN

What do you mean by that?

We may be closer to death than you are, but that doesn't me we are far from fun.

Make una clear road me and my man is coming.

RUKKY

Oshey!!!

Auntie, you see why I love you.

"Bayo walks in with Chike and Ken."

BAYO

What's happening here?

RUKKY

Ahh, isn't it obvious?

These love birds are intimidating us, oh.

CHIKE

Ahh, see Mummy, oh.

Ma, you look sweet.

(He smiles at Bisola)

KEN

What is the occasion?

Mrs B BALOGUN

Well, it's our Marriage Anniversary, and my man flew in today to take me out on a date.

CHIKE

Omo, Bayo hope say you Dey learn oh?

This is how to treat a woman!!!

BAYO

Which kind talk be that one?

You have had worse relationships than me.

Mr A BALOGUN

That's enough, guys. Before you fight over something this irrelevant

We will be leaving now. Take care of yourselves.

"Mrs Aisha, rush into the room."

Mrs AISHA

Eniola, you have a visitor

ENIOLA

Who is that?

Mrs AISHA

I have never seen her before.

She said your daughter's life is at stake

I told her you don't have a daughter.

Mrs B BALOGUN

Ahh, it's obvious that one is just looking for attention.

Why the hell with security let a stranger into the compound just like that?

Please send her away!

ENIOLA

No, don't!

(She rushes to the front door)

"Rukky and others follow her out of curiosity."

Mrs OKAFOR

(She knees in front of Eniola)

Madam, please help us.

I will do anything you want. Whatever the deal is, we will accept it.

ENIOLA

(She grabs the lady by the arm)

Madam, where is my daughter?

(Tears roll down her eyes)

Mrs OKAFOR

She's at the hospital. My husband and I took her there this morning.

Mr A BALOGUN

What is happening here?

Eniola, do you know this lady?

What daughter is she talking about?

Mrs B BALOGUN

Eniola, are you deaf?

Didn't your father ask you a question?

ENIOLA

Mummy, Daddy, I will explain when I get back. For now, I have to go with her to the hospital.

(She turns to Rukky)

Get my car key. Let's leave.

Mrs B BALOGUN

Nobody is going anywhere till you explain what is going on here.

ṣe o ya were?

What is wrong with you?

ENIOLA

Fine, Mummy!

I have a daughter, and she is seriously ill. If I don't go now, I could lose her.

CHIKE

Chineke awo oh

(He covers his mouth with his hands)

KEN

(He slaps Chike on the back of the head)

You nor go behave yourself!

Nor be everything them Dey use take joke.

Mrs B BALOGUN

(She gazes at Eniola in disbelief)

Wait a minute; I still don't understand this.

What do you mean by you have a daughter?

ENIOLA

Mummy, I will explain when I come back.

I have to go now.

(She walks out of the house with Mrs Okafor and Rukky)

Mr A BALOGUN

Do any of you understand what Eniola and that lady are talking about?

BAYO

No, Father, I don't.

CHIKE

Me too, I nor know, oh.

Mrs B BALOGUN

Ayo, let's follow them.

CHIKE

"Temi's phone rings"

TEMI

This guy, can't you understand that this girl doesn't want you?

(She puts her phone on do not disturb)

MICHAEL

Who is that?

TEMI

I will tell you if you tell me what that Kemi said to you while I was on the phone.

MICHAEL

I have told you, Temilade.

It doesn't matter. It's irrelevant, so forget about it.

TEMI

No, I wouldn't. My instinct tells me she said something about me.

MICHAEL

Oh, God, why are women like this?

You are just being paranoid!

Besides, whatever she says doesn't matter.

I love you, and I'm with you.

(He attempts to tickle her)

TEMI

Let me be Michael. I'm not in the mood.

So I'm paranoid, abi?

No, wam, I don't blame you at all.

(She folds her hands and backs him)

MICHAEL

Babe, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it that way.

(He wraps his hands around her waist)

TEMI

jọwọ fi mi silẹ

Since you don't want to talk, just let me be!

MICHAEL

Alright, I will tell you.

TEMI

(She turns)

Oya, open your mouth, oh.

MICHAEL

She said you are not good for me, and I should leave you before history repeat itself.

TEMI

That snake. I felt like pulling her by the hair, God knows!

(She gazes at Micheal)

No offence, I know regardless of what she has done to you in the past, she's still the Mother of your child.

MICHEAL

(He smiles at Temi)

None taken, my love.

Just because she is the Mother of my child doesn't mean she's less naïve and stupid than she is.

TEMI

So what are your plans?

MICHEAL

Nothing!

It's up to her. I can't prevent her from seeing Awelle.

She's still her Mother. But I know Mama will do everything to keep Awelle from her.

TEMI

Hmm, whatever.

Let's stop talking about her. She's ruining my moments with you.

(She wraps herself around Micheal's arms)

MICHEAL

So who was that?

Who called you?

TEMI

That Dr Chidi, oh.

You know my Grandfather feels he is suitable for me.

But I have made it clear to both of them that I am uninterested.

MICHEAL

That guy!

Why is he always going for my women?

I feel like he is just trying to get on my nerves

TEMI

I don't know Micheal

But I don't think you should be bothered about it.

(She turns and faces him)

I love you, and I want to be with you.

His family may be influential in the east, but they are nothing compared to what we have. I'm not saying this intending to claim superiority.

I'm telling you that he has nothing to offer that I already don't have.

MICHEAL

I trust you, babe.

Seriously I do. But still, I don't want you around him.

"They both hear the sound of the refrigerator in dining."

TEMI

It seems they have brought their stupid light.

MICHEAL

(He turns to the Television)

I thought I asked Awelle to switch off this Tv whenever these people take their light.

(He picks up the remote to turn off the Tv)

TEMI

She probably forgot.

(She reads the headlines on the new channel)

Wait a minute, don't turn it off yet.

LST News reporting-

Shortly after the mysterious death of Mrs Alaba, The AUG party presidential candidate announces Mrs Lolade Luther Balogun as his running mate in the forthcoming election.

This has raised a lot of eyebrows from the public.

As we all know, Mrs Lolade Luther Balogun is the daughter of Chief Balogun and Sister to Mr Ayo Balogun.

This recent development has led a lot to believe that this is no longer a struggle for power between The AUG and NNC parties. But an inter conflict and struggle for power between Father and Daughter. In an interview with The AUG party this morning, Mrs Lolade Luther Balogun stated that she is not at war with her father or any political party. She feels that The AUG party suit her interest, goals and plan for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

MICHAEL

Wow, this is serious.

TEMI

Very serious.

My Grandfather wouldn't be happy about this.

The AUG party is getting stronger every day, and I know my Auntie

She may not be a match for my Grandfather, but she has The Adesoji's on her side. 

MICHAEL

Sounds like a woman very determined to defeat your family.

But why would she go against your Grandfather?

TEMI

I do not know the details, but I think it has something to do with grandpa making my father his heir.

Auntie Lolade is older, and she walked for grandpa for a long time, so she was hoping to take over from him, but unfortunately, my Grandfather had something else in mind.

MICHAEL

Hmm, I know he is your father, but I understand why your Auntie is acting this way. No offence.

TEMI

Non-taken, my baby.

Enough of politics that between both of them.

(She gazed at the wall clock)

Michael, it's a few minutes past five, oh

MICHAEL

Oh, that is true oh

Awelle, go don wait tire.

Let me go and pick her up.

(He kisses Temi and dashes out of the house)

"Eniola arrives at the hospital with Mrs Okafor and Rukky."

Mrs OKAFOR

(She approaches Dr Yemi)

Good evening, Doctor.

You remember me.

The woman that came with her husband and sick five years old daughter.

Dr YEMI

Yes, I do.

It's Mrs Okafor, right?

Mrs OKAFOR

Yes Doctor

Please, where is my husband?

How is my daughter doing?

Dr YEMI

She has been moved to the oncology ward. This is the Emergency ward, Ma.

Your daughter is a cancer patient, so I ensured she was moved there for further treatment.

ENIOLA

Thank you, Doctor

Please, where is the Oncology ward located?

NURSE PAULINA

Follow me. I'm going there to get something.

Mrs OKAFOR

Alright, Thank you, Nurse

"They all rushed out."

Dr FRANCA

(She turns to Dr Yemi)

Is it just me, or does the lady who asked for the ward's location look very familiar? I don't know where I have seen her.

Dr YEMI

That is Eniola Balogun

The governor's first daughter.

Dr FRANCA

Oh, you mean Dr Temi's elder sister?

Dr YEMI

Exactly.

"Ayo rushed in with Bisola and three bodyguards."

Dr FRANCA

(She whispers to Dr Yemi)

Isn't he the governor?

Dr YEMI

(He ignores Dr Franca's question)

Good evening, Mr Governor.

What brings you here?

Mr A BALOGUN

Dr Yemi, it's been a while.

Please, I am looking for my daughter.

I think she was here a while ago with two other ladies.

Dr YEMI

Oh yes.

They just left for the Oncology ward.

If you need help, I can ask one of the nurses to take you there.

Mrs B BALOGUN

Don't bother, Doctor.

We know where it is; thank you.

"They walked away."

Mrs ADESOJI

I must confess, Lolade.

You have great taste in artefacts

And your mansion is beautiful. I guess this is to celebrate your victory as the chosen vice president to be.

LOLADE

Thank you, my dear friend.

And yes, I deserve accolades and bathe myself with some perks and incentives.

Mrs ADESOJI

With you on our side, I am certain the presidency wouldn't pass us by this time.

"Robert walks into the sitting room."

ROBERT

I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.

Good Evening, Everyone.

MRS ADESOJI

(She turns to Robert)

Mr Luther, it seems we do not have clarity on where your loyalty lies.

LOLADE

Come to think of it; I have never thought of it.

ROBERT

Of course, I am on your side.

But I am a man who believes in facts.

Let's face it; The NNC party would rather kiss their ass than watch The AUG take over power.

(We open a bottle of whisky)

STELLA

You are correct, Mr Luther, but we also have to look at it from the angle of public opinion.

The people are on our side. Nigerians are tired of the NNC dominance. So I wouldn't be too surprised if The AUG wins.

(She smiles at Robert)

ROBERT

I am a white man. It took me less than a month to figure out that the people you have your hopes on are the weakest part of the government in Nigerian politics.

Africa has successfully built a community where the rule of law and democracy are just pure fiction and a pipe dream.

Let's be honest; African elections can never be free and fair. The only way The AUG can win is to do everything that goes against the truth, the law and democracy.

TONY

I find it ridiculous that a white speaks of Nigerian politics with so much confidence.

Respectfully speaking, Sir, I think you should be the last person speaking of Nigeria and African politics in this room. The colour of your skin is enough reason for us to disregard the words proceeding from your mouth regardless of the authenticity.

ROBERT

And you call us the racists?

(He picks up the glass of whisky and walks out of the room)

"Taiwo Meets up with his private investigator."

TAIWO

Good Evening, Emeka.

So what do you have for me?

EMEKA

This is it.

(He drops a file on Taiwo's hands)

These are the death certificate of your Late Mother and Mr Adebayo.

As you can see from the dates, these were signed two days before the incident.

TAIWO

But this is not possible.

What I saw at home is slightly different; the dates match the time they were pronounced dead.

EMEKA

But this is different.

This is what is registered on the NPC site.

TAIWO

So what exactly are you trying to say?

EMEKA

What you have at home is fake.

Or a product of the consequences of a covered-up crime.

TAIWO

Meaning the one at home was made to cover this one, or in the process of making the death real, they made a silly mistake?

EMEKA

Exactly, Sir.

TAIWO

But this could also just be a coincidence.

This is not enough proof.

EMAKA

No, it isn't. I'm still investigating, but we can't ignore this. If it were just one of the certificates, we could ignore it, but they did this to both of the certificates

Meaning whatever happened to your Mother is strongly linked to Late Mr Adebayo.

TAIWO

Wow, I have to find out what is written on Mr Adebayo's certificate, then.

EMEKA

Yes, you should.

Secondly, Sir, I found this phone number was linked to one of the men sent to do the work that day. I found out that he died a long side the explosion, but I think it's very important that will figure out more about the identity behind this number.

TAIWO

Hmm

Alright, I will do my findings and get back to you.

Please be careful. It seems whoever is behind all of these did a very clean job.

Send me your account details I will wire some cash.

EMEKA

Sure, Sir, I will be careful.

Thank you, Sir

TAIWO

Alright, I have to go now.

Please take care of yourself.

EMEKA

I will, Sir.

(He steps out of Taiwo's car)

"Eniola narrates her relationship to the child in question."

Mrs B BALOGUN

Wait a minute, are you telling us that the little girl in that room is your daughter?

Mr A BALOGUN

Why didn't you come to us, Eniola?

ENIOLA

(Tears roll down her brown cheeks)

I don't know, Father.

I guess I was scared. Grandfather would have lectured me on one thousand reasons why I am worthless to him.

RUKKY

(She turns to Ayo and Bisola)

I want to apologize on her behalf, Daddy and Mummy.

She was just scared. We had no choice but to give the child out.

Mr A BALOGUN

I understand that my father may be difficult to deal with, but I have always made sure that I gave you enough reason to reach out to me under any circumstances.

If I were out of the picture, you would be sitting on an executive chair In the company right now, but I'm doing everything to make sure grandpa doesn't make you do things that make you unhappy.

So I do not understand why you would keep this from us.

ENIOLA

I'm sorry, Father. I was scared and confused.

Please forgive me.

I regret my decisions I want to take full responsibility for my actions.

I want to be here for my daughter in a thousand ways.

Mrs B BALOGUN

First, we must locate the animal that did this to you.

No one hurts a Balogun, and go free.

"Dr Amara walks into the waiting room."

Dr AMARA

Please, who among you is her Mother?

She is asking for her Mom.

Mrs OKAFOR/ENIOLA

Me!

(They said simultaneously)

Dr AMARA

(She appears confused)

I'm confused.

MRS OKAFOR

I'm her Mother

(She walks into the room)

ENIOLA

(She gazes at Dr Amara)

Doctor, how is she?

Mr A BALOGUN

Will she be okay?

Dr AMARA

She will be okay but will need a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible.

And we can't go further with her treatments without the complete payments.

Mrs B BALOGUN

That little child over there is the great-granddaughter of one of the owners of this hospital.

You have to do everything to make sure she is okay.

Mr A BALOGUN

Relax Bisola.

(He faces Dr Amara)

Money is not the problem. Just do everything in your power to make sure she is okay.

Dr AMARA

She will be fine if she gets a matching bone marrow transplant.

Once the finance is settled, we will go out of our way to do everything to find donors that will match hers.

ENIOLA

How long will that take, Doctor?

Dr AMARA

It depends. It could take a week, two or even more.

ENIOLA

Wait a minute; that is too long. Can't we do something to spread up the process?

Dr AMARA

Sure you can.

All you have to do is find a perfect match for her.

ENIOLA

I want to donate.

Dr AMARA

Alright, but first, we must run some blood tests to know if you qualify to be a donor.

You have to come with me, Ma.

ENIOLA

Alright, Doctor

Lead the way

TEMI

(She walks out of the Bathroom with a white towel around her chest region to her lap)

Has that little giant slept?

MICHAEL

Yes, she fell asleep while I was telling her a story.

(He places his hand around her waist)

Now we have the house to ourselves

(He slowly kisses her neck)

TEMI

(She places her right hand on his head)

Micheal, if you do this to another lady, I will kill you with my bare hands.

"Micheal lifts her from the ground and gently drops her on the bed. He gradually untie her towel and wet her lips with kisses they'd never seen.

He runs his finger down to her thighs as he plunges the tip of his tongue on her right pointed nipple.

Temi moans out in excitement as she grabs his head.

Michael slowly drops his legs on her shoulder as he buries his face in her dropping cherry. She holds on to the bedsheets and does everything within her power to contain her shivering legs and revered soul.

Michael drops his forehead on hers, gently pushing his pride into her cherry.

"Ouch, gently, please, Temi cries out as she holds firmly to his hands."

Michael could feel her body slowly being conquered by his manhood.

He punctures her dignity with the pride of a man and the submission of a woman who is helplessly in love.

Sugartoxic it was, bittersweet it was. Temi ate in pains just as she dined in pleasure.

"Michael, take it easy it hurts, Temi said as drops her palm on his face. Just for a minute, chaos clouded her emotions it was beautiful yet too immense for innocent walls to comprehend.  

"Damn! You are so tight, Michael said as he ejaculated on her cherry."

TEMI

I have to wash up ASAP!

(She pushes him away and rushes to the Bathroom)

ENIOLA

(She turns to Mr Okafor)

You named her after me.

Mr OKAFOR

You pleaded with us to do you that favour, and we do not go back on our promises.

I know how hard it must have been for you to live without her.

ENIOLA

(She places her hand on Hope's head)

Trust me; I thought of her every day till this day.

I know I have done some things I am not proud of, but bringing her into the world isn't one of them.

(She cries out)

Mrs OKAFOR

Put yourself together, Eniola.

Everything will be fine.

ENIOLA

Thank you for looking after her.

"Hope wakes up from a short nap."

HOPE

(She turns to Mrs Okafor)

Mummy, who is this lady?

ENIOLA

Hello Hope, I'm your friend

(She smiles at Eniola)

HOPE

But I don't know you.

(She turns to Mr Okafor)

Daddy, do you know her?

Mr OKAFOR

Yes my love

She is a friend.

Mrs OKAFOR

Thanks to her, you will be okay.

Tell her thank you.

Thank you, ma; God bless you.

ENIOLA

Aww, I love your smile.

(She touches Hopes's cheeks)

Doctor, you requested my presence.

Yes, ma

We ran some tests on your blood and saw something requiring immediate attention.

ENIOLA

Ahh, what is that, Doctor?

Is everything alright?

Dr AMARA

You should see for yourself.

(She drops the test result in front of Eniola)

Please, I want you to relax. Everything will be okay.

ENIOLA

(She picks up the paper)

No, Doctor, this isn't possible.

How come?

You have to do the test again, please.
