AMAKA (EPISODE 8)
APPROACH
AMAKA: ( To IKENNA) Each and everyone of us are connnected. Connected to each other in one way or the other. In everything we do and things we fail to, it has an effect and a considered impact on the life of someone as well as the lives of other people. "TOUCH." So is it in relationships as well. Its like giving someone the power to control our state of mind, our mood, giving that person total control of your emotional state. Thats the TRUE DEFINITION of LOVE. Every guy is meant for a girl, like the girls as well, meant for one guy. Dating more than one person is just like removing an important piece in the life of another person. You might say she doesnt love me, we are just dating but its obvious she has another guy outside. You cant be so sure, you might be the most important thing in her life at that moment, you cant know because you never asked her, and you cant believe the TRUTH because you never TRUSTED her. While the ladies call him a MAGA, Mugu Money Spended (MMS), if you dont love him, why not just tell him, his life is connected to the life of another, you might love you for REAL, not just for the SEX, and you might be the one hindering him from lady meant to be his WIFE. Double Dating, solves nothing, cause the PAIN would always still be felt if any of them BAILS OUT of the relationship, Double Dating doesnt reduce the pain, it only makes you more vulnerable to the PAIN. So please, i want you to be HONEST in everything you do with me, cause just one lie has the POWER to make me HATE you FOREVER.
IKENNA: ( Claps ) Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! That was a really great speech. Tell me, did you have to go through all that? Why not just ask me to be HONEST with you?...
AMAKA: Ikenna, my speech wasnt just about you being HONEST with me. Its about creating a certain awareness in you, adding more information to the little one you know about relationships. To you guys, relationships arent something of great importance. YOu can date a thousand girls without thinking twice. I'm trying to enlighten you on the harm you bring to others Emotionally and Naturally just by taking more than what you are supposed to have due to your natural Greed and inability to be CONTENT.
IKENNA: Hmm, and what makes you think we guys are all the same? I'm not Foolish enough to date 2 girls at the same time, it would only bring me nothing but PAIN at the end, when they both find out i'm cheating on them, i'd lose the both the same time.
AMAKA: Why do you guys think us CHEAP?...
IKENNA: ( LAUGHS ) Because you are CHEAP. There was a time it was difficult winning a girl over, but now, it seems every girl is desperate for a boyfriend, and that makes you CHEAP and VULNERABLE.
AMAKA: ( Scoffs ) Not me my dear. THEM. You have no idea how difficult, determined and impossible many girls can be. But if you DOUBT me and think all Girls are the same, then TRY ME ...
IKENNA: Really? You? You know you're too BEAUTIFUL to be resisted. Every guy seem to be interested in you ...
AMAKA: ( And it begins, starting with COMPLIMENTS )
Trust me, you dont want to join the queue cause all of them gave up either being ANGRY or DISAPPOINTED. Besides, Beauty lies in the HEART, not the appearance, so you cant LOVE until you see what lies within ...
IKENNA: Yea, you're right. Beauty lies in the HEART, cause appearance may fade away with time and then, you would wonder how you loved such a girl. Thats why i like you, the Beauty of your HEART cant be compared with any other.
AMAKA: ( Gradually, he opens up, trying to adapt, pretending he cares about the TRUE thing, using your intelligence to his advantage ) Everyone should like me its an evidence of the BEAUTY i posses in the heart. And the BEAUTY of the HEART never varies, none is more beautiful than another, we just have a limit, a soft spot, a fault. If she gets CRANKY, its because you presist too much, or you said something she doesnt wanna hear, we all have our different limits.
IKENNA: And what is your LIMIT? ...
AMAKA: Trust me, you dont wanna know. But you can try though, just dont be embarrassed at the outcome.
( At this point, the conversation is deep, you can then make him OPEN up cause he now feels you have a connection ) So tell me, what is it you want from me?
IKENNA: Amaka, to be sincere with you...
AMAKA: ( Would you even tell me if you're lying. You're always sincere and honest )
IKENNA: To be sincere, for some weeks now, youve been on my mind, i cant think straight without you. You're all i dream of, all i cam think of, its like youre haunting me...
AMAKA: Hmm, Well, so how do i help you?... And dont forget, like i said, every girl, no matter how Beautiful in the heart and Nice, has a FAULT...
IKENNA: Please Amaka, i want you to give me a chance to show you how much i like you, to show you that what i feel for you is TRUE...
AMAKA: You have your chance, youre my friend, so you always have the oppurtunity to show me CARE and how much you value me, AS A FRIEND.
IKENNA: Amaka, i want you to be more than my friend. I want you to be my Girlfriend...
AMAKA: Your girlfriend? ... Ikenna, please dont forget we all have a FAULT...
IKENNA: I dont care about that FAULT. As long as youre mine. I LOV.... ... ....
AMAKA: ( Didnt let him finish the sentence before she gave him A SLAP TO THE RIGHT CHEEK, BACK HAND SLAP WITH REVERSE, ONE MORE SLAP WITH THE LEFT HAND ) You dey CRAZE for head!!! Shey i resemble those small girls wey you dey FUCK? Abi i dey HAWK TOMATO for local market? You never love your mama finish, na me you wan LOVE. ( One more slap to the right cheek ) God Punish You!!! Idiot!!!...
IKENNA: Did you just slap me? ... ( Rubbing his CHEEK )
AMAKA: ( Still Fuming ) You're still ASKING me? ( ANother slap to the exposed left cheek with her right hand ) You still stand here abi? ...
( SHe ran to the nearby bush to pick a STICK, Ikenna found an escape route before she would return )
AMAKA: Well, like i said, we all have a FAULT. Talk to me about LOVE again and you'll know why humans have 2 Butt and not ONE.

( Flower Garden, located at the back yard of PASCAL'S house. Two chairs over a table, a bottle of wine and 2 glass cups filled to the brim ... )
IKENNA: Pascal, i never knew that girl was crazy, until today. Just look at my FACE na, see how red my eyes have changed to ...
PASCAL: Women and their PRIDE. I would say its your FAULT though, she warned you right from the start but you failed to see the signs...
IKENNA: How did she warn me? By telling me all women has a FAULT? What am i? Detective Lee? Is that even a FAULT? Practically Vandalizing me with her PALMS...
PASCAL: Dont worry. Go ahead and try again. Presistence beats Resistance. Keep presisting and trust me, at a point, she wont be able to resist you anymore...
IKENNA: Pascal!!! "You dey CRAZE for head!!!" Check out that statement na. No girl has ever insulted me before, not to talk of laying a finger on me, but this girl broke my record...
PASCAL: Women and their Temper. Just forget it ever happened and focus on your one Goal. To win her haert and use her as you deem fit, so just forget all this ranting and fanting you're doing here and ignore that Incident, its among what you have to go through to win her HEART. Or would you like me to Intervene?...
IKENNA: Mehn, it seems you still dont understand what i am saying. This girl is different, i can swear it. Unlike the other girls we do ARRANGE, her own package is OFF LIMIT...
PASCAL: Off limit to you, not me. Dont worry. I bet you 50K, give me a week and you would see her dying for me, begging me not to leave her...
IKENNA: ( Laughs ) Really? We have a deal then. Infact, i give you a month to arrange her for yourself, then we double the STAKES...
PASCAL: Its a DONE DEAL...
IKENNA: I pity you. That reminds me, what of CYNTHIA, the one you sent a letter to at your school, has she given you a reply yet?...
PASCAL: Not yet. But i'm sure i would get my reply tomorrow. I've given her the whole weekend to think about it ....
--------------+---------------
( Amaka's Apartment Sunday Evening )
AMAKA: Hope you would be in school tomorrow...
CYNTHIA: Of course. I've written down my reply to PASCAL as you asked me to. What of IKENNA? Did you guys meet at church?...
AMAKA: Yes O. After CHURCH service. The Idiot is too CHEAP that he started confessing his ROTTEN LOVE to me just as soon as we had our first conversation...
CYNTHIA: See? I told you HE LOVES YOU...
AMAKA: Hey Hey Hey, Abeg dont even go there. Anyways, i left him an answer he would never forget...
CYNTHIA: You said "YES"?...
AMAKA: My dear. When next you see him, look at his CHEEK very well, i made certain sure that my answer is inscripted boldly on his CHEEK with my legitimate finger print ...
CYNTHIA: How do you mean?...
AMAKA: DOnt worry. When you see him, feel free to ask him, i'm sure he would be more than happy to enlighten you on how GREAT our conversation ended...
CYNTHIA: Hmm, OK O. Let me be on my way home now. I guess we would see in school tomorrow.

AMAKA: ( To herself ) We all have a beast within us. None of us can swear he or she is 100% Polite all the time. Its what makes us Human, the ability to switch moods. The word LOVE is what i choose to be MY ANGER TRIGGER, Just like the rest of us out there. We all have a certain occurence that changes our mood, that brings out that BEAST in us. A good christian would always pray that God gives him or her the power to overcome ANGER, but i would use that BEAST within to my advantage. That one is HARSH doesnt mean he cant be POLITE, so at times, you cant really blame people for their actions, there is always a reason behind it. IKENNA just confirmed my suspicions, he wants to be my BOYFRIEND. I've always known its almost impossible for a guy and a girl to be friends without the guy making one foolish move one day. If IKENNA returns, we can be BEST OF FRIENDS, and if he doesnt, then i guess my EFFORTS paid OFF...
