EP 41b
Bola finished freshening up and lies on the bed....)
BOLA : (looking at the door, expecting Made to knock and come
in)....so he won't come and say good night abi....(Waiting
anxiously)...if he doesn't come ehn...he will see...
*************************************************
Made is in his room pacing....)
MADE : ...should I go and say good night?...hmm....we're dating now,
its not like when she thought I was her brother...should I
go....(Thinking)...but if I go, she may think I want to do something
with her and get angry... Ooohh...what should I do...(Pacing, he
thinks for a while)..okay I know what to do...
***************************************************
(He goes to knock on Bola's door....)
BOLA : (smiling knowing it Made)...yes come in...(Sitting up)
MADE : (peeping at the door)..em...I just wanted to say good night...
BOLA : oh I thought you won't...(Seeing he didn't come in)...and are
you just going to stand there and say it?...come in and put on the
light.
MADE : em....(Walks in, putting on the light)...I....didn't want to
disturb you...
BOLA : oh, so now that you're my fiancé, you are banned from entering my room?
MADE : (chuckles)....its not that...
BOLA : you're really annoying me these days...
MADE : (goes to sit beside her)...its not that...I'm just being
careful with you, I don't want to hurt you, remember we were siblings
before...(Laughing)
BOLA : oh..that's to me right, not to you.
MADE : well...yes. So I don't want to do anything that will look strange to you.
BOLA : Made, sit here...(Telling him to come closer beside her)
MADE : okay...(Moves closer)
BOLA : look, do you think I just fell in love with you recently? Do
you think, I fell in love only when you told me how you feel?....(She
pauses)..no,...I told you, you aroused an affection in me years back.
That day you cleaned my chin....I didn't believe it. I lost my
balance. It was like removing the hatred I felt for you and replacing
it totally with something else....if I'd stayed back in Nigeria, I
don't know what would have happened between us, but thank God I went
to the US. Look, all the time we played here, I was only forcing
myself to see you as a brother, telling myself repeatedly that you're
my brother and can't go beyond that. Why do you think I would always
prefer spending time with you than with Femi?....Because, I saw you
like a man not a brother....(Smiles)...that day we went for your
company party, when you told me not to tell anyone that we're
siblings...
MADE : yes I remember....
BOLA : I felt so damn good, I wished I could kiss you...
MADE : (shocked) huh?
BOLA : yes. Then, when that witch came around, you said, "sweetheart"
this is Lisa....I melted....
MADE : (chuckles, holding her hand)...I can remember you got angry
that day when I went away...
BOLA : I was mad at you....no, I was jealous seeing you spending time
with her instead of me...
MADE : why didn't you tell me this?
BOLA : I was till battling with what I felt, I wasn't ready to accept
it was love.
MADE : (smiling)...I'm the luckiest man that lives...(Kisses her hand
and looks at her eyes)....
BOLA : I love you, Made, not as a brother but as a man, so treat me
like a woman not like a sister.
MADE : (smiles)...I promise to do that...(He hugs her)....I've missed
tucking you into bed.
BOLA : I've missed watching late night movies with you...(Looks at him closely)
MADE : I'm happy to know that what we feel is mutual not imposed.
(Kisses her hand again)... life will be pointless if not spent with
you, Bolanle, be my wife please (moves closer seeing her close her
eyes, he kisses her cheek and as he moves away)
BOLA : (she smiles)...I will....I love you.
MADE : I love you more...good night, Love.
BOLA : good night Baby...(Smiles)
MADE : dream about me...(He kisses her cheek and leaves for his room
putting off the light)
BOLA : (smiling)...oh I just love him...
*************************************************
(The following morning, Bisade was happy to see Made at home. During
breakfast, he could not but express his happiness...)
BISADE : just look at the table....its now alive...I've missed you on
this table Made...
MADE : (smiles)...I missed eating with you too Dad....(Eating his food)
BISADE : Bolanle, thank you for bringing him home...
BOLA : oh Dad, you talk as if he has come to stay...
MADE : oh come on...let me miss you guys a bit...
BISADE : me?...why me? Miss Bola not me.
MADE : (laughing)...oh Dad....(Shaking his head)...
(After breakfast Made and Bisade enter into the study to talk, while
Bolanle goes to her room...)
MADE : (sitting down in front of him)....Dad, firstly, I'm happy you
agreed we get married, but there's one thing left.
BISADE : what's that?...(Paying him more attention)
MADE : can I add my father's surname so it won't be as if two siblings
are getting married....you know, Omobolanle Aderinuwo weds Akinrinmade
Aderinluwo....
BISADE : hmm...(Nodding).... what do you suggest?
MADE : I can change my name to Akinrinmade Aderinluwo-Bakerr, so after
our wedding, Bola becomes Bolanle Aderinluwo-Bakerr, that way we get
to keep your name and my father's name.
BISADE : hmm.....(Thinking about it)...I've been thinking about the
name issue myself. What you said is not bad.
MADE : (smiles)...so, will you think about it?
BISADE : its okay. I'll just discuss it with Segun so he can start the
paper work.
MADE : really Dad?
BISADE : of course.
MADE : thanks Dad! I'm so grateful...
BISADE : have you told Bolanle?
MADE : no Dad, I wanted to discuss it with you first. Now that you've
agreed, I can tell her.
BISADE : that's good.
MADE : thanks Dad!...(Goes to hug him)...I'll go and tell her now....(Leaving)
BISADE : wait, not so fast...
MADE : (turns back, smiling)...yes Dad...
BISADE : have you two fixed the wedding date?
MADE : not yet sir.
BISADE : you should do that....call Bola here.
MADE : yes sir...(He goes to bring Bola into the study)
BOLA : look at the two most important men in my life...(Smiling
happily as she enters into the study)
BISADE : (smiling)....sweetheart, I want you people to pick a date for
the wedding.
BOLA : (going to hold her father)...the last time I spoke to a wedding
planner, she said it will depend on the availability of the reception
hall. So I'll talk to her.
BISADE : okay, while you're doing that...(Turns to Made).... Made, you
get in touch with Julius' family, tell them about the wedding and
let's do the introduction so Bolanle can get to know them....
MADE : okay sir.
BOLA : Dad, the wedding planner wants to know our budget for the wedding.
BISADE : tell her to get the best of everything. The wedding can
happen only once, so even if it will cost me a million dollars, I'll
give it.
MADE : come on Dad, its my wedding, I have to spend my money on it too.
BISADE : nope....(Shaking his head)..not accepted....you are spending
nothing on it. Whatever money you have, start thinking of starting a
business with it.....
MADE : but Dad...
BISADE : (cuts in)...no buts! Just concentrate on having seven kids for me...
BOLA : (cuts in)...what! Dad!
MADE : seven! (Laughing)...oh my God!
BISADE : yes. If you people had gotten married separately, Made, you
would have had 4, while you Bolanle would have had 4, but since you
two are getting married, I'll have mercy on you and make it seven.
BOLA : (laughing)...okay, I've heard you.
BISADE : and you two should start getting ready to go abroad to shop
for the wedding.
BOLA : yes Dad, trust me....
MADE : (takes a deep breath)..okay sir.
BISADE : tell that wedding planner to get in touch with me
directly...I want the best of everything for that wedding.
BOLA : (laughing)...haha...Daddy, its the job of the bride to plan her
wedding not the bride's father......
