 BISADE : is that necessary? I'm sure it was Made.
SEGUN : ...when Bola gets here we'll settle that....now Bisade, what
if you find out that Bola is in love with Made what will you do?
BISADE : what!...(Surprised)... How can you think of such a thing? she can't be?
SEGUN : I just asked you a question and you've not answered me.
BISADE : (shaking his head)...that's just impossible....what will
people say if they see them together?
SEGUN : Bisade, answer the question. If Bolanle is in love with Made,
will you deprive her of that happiness?...(Seeing he's
dumbfounded)...better think about it and give me an answer. Will you
hinder both of them from being together all because of what people
will say?(Bisade becomes totally dumbfounded for some time and Segun
keeps looking at him)...
BISADE : (breaking his silence)...is that why you came? Is that what
we have to talk about?
SEGUN : that is the most important thing for now.
BISADE : (shocked)...are you telling me she's in love with Made too?
SEGUN : Bisade, you're an old man. You've been in love before...so
let's wait for Bolanle to come back. You just allow me handle the
situation, don't question my actions, just be a spectator and then you
can know what and how Bola feels about Made.
BISADE : (very impatient)..hmm...see o, I was always against the way
they played with each other o. I never liked it. I just hope its not
what you're thinking...
SEGUN : you can't blame them, they thought they were siblings.
BISADE : (hits the table with his hand)...if only that stupid Made had
not told her...
SEGUN : what if it wasn't Made that told her? Haha....
BISADE : stop arguing with me Segun, I said its Made.
SEGUN : okay let's wait for her to come.

(Few minutes later, Bola was about entering into Bisade's office when
she sees Made at the secretary's...)

BOLA : oh, I guess you are through right?
MADE : (surprised)...through? With what?...(Remembers what she saw
earlier on)...Bola, you have to believe me, I wasn't doing anything
with that girl.
BOLA : oh please!....(She waves him off and enters into the office,
Made follows her in...)
BOLA : good afternoon Uncle...(Goes to hug him)
SEGUN : how are you dear?
BOLA : very well...(She ignores her father)
SEGUN : (seeing Made behind)...haha......Made, I thought I said you
should wait till I call you before coming in?
MADE : I'm sorry Uncle...
BISADE : (surprised to see Made)...what's going on here?
MADE : Uncle she just accused me again...
BOLA : hey...(Facing Made)..stop acting all innocent here...
SEGUN : what happened?
BOLA : don't mind him Uncle, he knows what he's done. His conscience
is bothering him.
MADE : for God sake I didn't do anything...
BISADE : (standing up)..enough both of you! What is going on
here?....(Looks at Segun) can you tell me what the hell this is?
SEGUN : Bola...
BOLA : yes Uncle?
SEGUN : let's take this issue one after the one...
BISADE : you better do....(Sits down again)
SEGUN : Made sit down.
MADE : yes sir...(He sits down)
SEGUN : first of all, Bola I have some questions to ask you.
BOLA : (pays Segun attention)....okay.
SEGUN : who told you that Made is not your brother?
BOLA : (takes a deep breath)...it was Femi...
BISADE : (shocked)...what! That's a lie!
BOLA : no its not. Femi did, when you two...(Pointing at Bisade and
Made)...refused to do it.
BISADE : but that's not possible! I mean how did he know?
MADE : (raising up his hand)...he knows Dad, if you can remember, I
told you I invited all my friends to my father's burial.
BISADE : (cuts in)...but was he around then?..(Facing Bola)
MADE : he wasn't. He was in the UK but he heard about it.
SEGUN : so now can you see you ended up accusing the wrong person...
BISADE : damn it! So it was Femi?
BOLA : who do you think it was?
BISADE : of course I thought it was Made!
BOLA : it was Femi...
SEGUN : (faces Bisade)...so can you see you accused Made wrongly?
BISADE : (looks at Made)...I'm so sorry son, I thought it was you, I
didn't know Femi knew about it....forgive me..
MADE : its okay, Dad...no offence taken...
BOLA : Uncle what else?...if there's nothing else, I'll like to go back...
SEGUN : (cuts in)...oh no, wait. We're not through just yet...you and
your father need to end this grudge...
BOLA : Uncle, what Dad did totally unforgivable, he...
SEGUN : (cuts in)...I know but you still have to forgive him...hmm?
BISADE : I know, I should have told you, but I didn't and because I
love the relationship that existed between you and Made, I didn't want
it to stop.
SEGUN : Bola, forgive your father, okay...(Looking at Bola)....hmm?
BOLA : (looks at Segun and thinks for a while, then turns to
Biisade)....I forgive you Dad....
SEGUN : that's my girl....
BOLA : (she goes to hug him)...I'm sorry Dad.
BISADE : I'm sorry too.
SEGUN : now...about Made, tell me, what's going on between you and Made?
BOLA : (moving away from Bisade)...Uncle, Made's issue is just out of
the way....
SEGUN : but I want us to settle that too...I can see you two are
keeping malice with each other.
BOLA : Uncle, I saw Made with his Boss' daughter today! Only God know
what they did together...
MADE : but I told you we didn't do anything....
BOLA : (cuts in) Uncle don't mind him o, the girl was half naked right
there in his office while he was about removing his belt...
BISADE : (surprised)....Are you sure of what you're saying?...(Looks at Made)..
BOLA : (faces Bisade)...yes Dad, I saw them myself this afternoon.
MADE : Bolanle for God's sake it wasn't what you think...
BOLA : (faces Made)..oh please! (Faces Segun)....Look Uncle, the girl
still called me some minutes back saying that they are together...
MADE : (shocked)...but that's a lie! I wasn't with her. I was with
Uncle...(Pointing at Segun)...
BOLA : (she faces Made)...that's a lie! She called me with your phone
and even told me you're there!
MADE : that's because she took my phones before I got back to the office...
BOLA : (cuts in)...what a ridiculous liar you are!
MADE : that's the truth. I wasn't with her.
BOLA : Made, I can't trust you anymore.
SEGUN : (looks at Made)..Made wait...(Looks at Bola)...Bola, calm down...
BOLA : Uncle, I hate the fact that he's still lying over something
that's so glaring.
SEGUN : Bola, its okay...sit down.
BOLA : (sitting down)....okay.
SEGUN : (facing Bola)....when did you say you saw Made with the girl?
BOLA : just this afternoon.
SEGUN : and when did the girl call you?
BOLA : haha...its right here on my phone...she said since I
interrupted them, they've decided to go somewhere else to do their
thing...(Bringing out her phone to check the time she received the
call)...here it is...(She gives the phone to Segun)
SEGUN : (collects the phone)...hmm...(Looking at the time)...its even
with Made's phone...
BOLA : yes Uncle can you see!
SEGUN : .....I see...(He looks up)okay....(He brings out his phone and
dials Made's number)...Made speak to her about collecting your phone
okay....(Putting the phone on speaker...)...everyone else let's be
quiet.
MADE : alright Uncle...(Collecting the phone as it rings....)...hello?
RECEIVER : hello?
MADE : Lisa its me, Made.
RECEIVER : Made...I've told you 30mins, and you're not here yet...
MADE : Lisa, I've told you I can't come to your house.
RECEIVER : then you're not ready to collect your phones from me.
MADE : why are you doing this to me?
RECEIVER : you're still wasting time you know? I've told you, if your
girlfriend calls you I'll pick it.
MADE : Lisa, I've told you times without number that I'm not for you,
my heart belongs to someone else...(Looking at Bolanle)
RECEIVER : and I have told you we can work on that..just give me the
chance to love you...
MADE : but I can't... Look, it pains me that you had to go through the
stress of going half naked in my office earlier on all because of me,
I don't want you to keep embarrassing yourself that way...
RECEIVER : I don't mind....but why do we keep talking about this on
the phone, come over here we'll talk about it here...(She hangs
up)....
MADE : hello! Hello!
SEGUN : Bola...
BOLA : (confused)...sir...
SEGUN : do you need another proof?
BOLA : but.....whose phone did you just call now?
SEGUN : wait give me your phone....(He collects it)...do you have
enough credit there?
BOLA : yes sir.
SEGUN : good...on a second thought, take it back...(Gives it back to
her)....dial Made's number.
BOLA : Made's number?
SEGUN : yes. And play around with the receiver...
BOLA : (dialing the number)....hello?
RECEIVER : hmm...why do you keep disturbing us? Made does not want you
anymore. I've told you he's with me now.
BOLA : you mean he there with you?
RECEIVER : of course...he's fast asleep...we just finished making love...
BOLA : yeah right!...(She hangs up,
keeps the phone away and becomes sober)
SEGUN : Bolanle, does he still need to explain anything to you?
