AMAKA (EPISODE 15)

MAMA AMAKA: (Disappointed) Now tell me, what do you intend to do? What is your next move? ...

NONSO: How do you mean? I just told you i got a woman pregnant, a woman older than me, and you're asking me what i intend to do ...

MAMA AMAKA: What were you expecting me to do? What can i do? In fact, what do you want me to do? ...

NONSO: I expect you to react. Maybe get a stick and flog the DEVIL out of me, yell at me, shout on me, scream at me, give me a punishment, starve me for a week, you know, show some sign of ANGER or DISAPPOINTMENT ...

MAMA AMAKA: (Smiles) And after doing all that, what happens next? Would beating, yelling and starving you change the fact that someone is pregnant for you? What difference would it make?...

NONSO: It may not change the situation, but at least, it would help lessen this GUILT i'm feeling within, this feeling of SHAME ...

MAMA AMAKA: You're yet to face anything if you make the wrong decision. So just bear that GUILT within as something you brought on yourself and tell me what you plan to do next ...

NONSO: Mama, i don't know. The TRUTH is, i'm Confused right now. I have no idea on the next move to make. I cant think of telling her to ABORT my baby, and i'm not even old enough to bring up a CHILD ...

MAMA AMAKA: Why did you do it in the first place? Didn't you think of the AFTERMATH before doing it? Or would you say you aren't aware of what it would result into? ...

NONSO: I guess i never took the time to think tw...

( Just then, a knock was heard on the DOOR. His mother quickly rushed to the door to see who it was ... )

POLICE: Good Day Madam ...

MAMA AMAKA: Good Day Officer, How may i help you?

POLICE: We are looking for a teenage girl by the name AMAKA, Please is this where she lives? And if Yes, who are you to her? Where is she? ...

MAMA AMAKA: (Nervous) Yes she lives here. I'm her mother. But she isn't at home at the moment, Please why the inquiry? Is anything the matter? ...

POLICE: (Shakes his head in PITY) Hmm, What a world. I'm truly very sorry madam. Can we come inside please? ...

PASCAL: Cynthia, whats this i'm hearing? That you're pregnant...

CYNTHIA: (Closes his mouth and dragged him to a corner) Jesus! PASCAL! Whats wrong with you? Who told you that? ...

PASCAL: Yesterday in the lab, you quickly rushed out of the lab to VOMIT. Thats the first time you've done that since you started school ...

CYNTHIA: It was something i ate, why would you conclude that easily? Does any girl that VOMIT automatically appears pregnant to you guys? ...

PASCAL: Like i said, someone told me. Only a pregnant woman would feel the need to VOMIT when she is in the presence of laboratory chemicals. Not just once or even twice.

CYNTHIA: Who told you this? (Thinks for a while) Is it AMAKA? Please tell me, how many people knows this already? ...

PASCAL: No, it isn't AMAKA, I've been searching for her all day. I cant find her in school today, i guess she's found out i knew about her stupid act. Dating IKENNA behind me...

CYNTHIA: Jeez! You guys are so DUMB. Was she ever your Girl-friend? Did she personally tell you she is your girl-friend or did you just assume she is your girl-friend because she accepted your flower. This is Naija, not YANKEE...

PASCAL: Well, then, why is she not in school today?. Regarding your question, half the school already knows you're pregnant. They believe you are PREGNANT.

( Just as he was about leaving, AMAKA showed up behind him. "PASCAL, HAVE YOU SEEN CYNTHIA?", then she saw CYNTHIA in front of him.... )

AMAKA: (Whispering to CYNTHIA) Who else did you tell? How come the whole school already knows you're pregnant?...

PASCAL: Amaka! Whats up with you? Am i not important to you anymore that you cant even greet me properly? After Cheating on me? ...

AMAKA: (Turns to PASCAL) Please, can we discuss this later? I have a lot on my mind right now. (Turns back to CYNTHIA) Tell me na, who else did you tell? ...

PASCAL: Amaka, we are going to discuss this right now and right here. Since when have you been dating IKENNA? ...

(She held CYNTHIA'S hand and tried to drag her away, but PASCAL held her other hand and dragged her back)

PASCAL: (High Tone) How dare you try to walk out on me? You are my girl-friend and i have the right to ...

( A hard slap from AMAKA cut him off ... )

AMAKA: Don't you ever touch me again, or else, or else, don't worry. Just pray that day never comes...

( She walked away with CYNTHIA, leaving PASCAL behind, who was now rubbing his CHEEK with his JAW wide open )

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

( One evening after CHURCH FELLOWSHIP, Amaka was on her way home, she was almost home when ...


EMEKA: Hello, Good Evening ...

AMAKA: Good Evening ... ( Kept going her way )

EMEKA: ( Called her back ) Please, i'm lost. I'm supposed to attend a fellowship in a church located nearby and i cant really find the way ...

AMAKA: Thats where i'm coming from and the fellowship is over already. You would have to try again tomorrow, but come early cause it starts by 4pm every evening. The church is located at the end of this path ...

EMEKA: Uhm, Thanks. The thing is, i'm kinda new in this environment, so if its OK by you, can i wait here for you tomorrow by 4pm, so you'd take me along ...

AMAKA: Alright. Just be here before 4pm cause i leave home before 3:30pm, i don't like being late...

EMEKA: Do you live nearby? ...

AMAKA: I'm sorry, but its late already, and this isnt the right place or the right time to be asking me such questions. I don't even know you, so if you don't mind, i'd like to be on my way ...
(Turned around and continued her journey home)

EMEKA: (Yelling) I'll wait here for you tomorrow!! Thanks a lot for the help!!! (To himself) Mehn, this BABE is really beautiful, she really make sense, i wonder why EMMA even cares about the righteous when he can just get what he wants and let go ...

( Amaka's home ... )

POLICE: Nothing is wrong with your daughter ma. I'm actually here because of your husband. He was caught in a cross-fire between the police and some drug dealers. We are yet to confirm if he is just a victim of the incident or among the suspects, cause eye witness said he was the one driving the car which the suspects made use of ...

MAMA AMAKA: (Showing Disbelief) Uhm, i think you have the wrong address. My husband is a legit business man and has no hand whatsoever in any illegal dealings. He went to Lagos a few weeks back on business an...

POLICE: (Hands her a picture of her husband, drowning in blood and chocking to death, including his wallet) Just to be sure, please take a look at this picture... We found this wallet on him and used the address stated on it to locate this apartment...

MAMA AMAKA: No! (Laughs nervously) My husband cant be DEAD (A drop of tear fell down her cheeks) I refuse to accept that (Now sobbing slowly) i ... i ... No! No! No! (Stood up, threw the picture and wallet at the police man) Please, leave! My husband isn't dead, he cant, he cant... (Broke down in tears) ...

NONSO: (Watching what was going on and to him, its just a movie in 3D) Mama, don't mind him, Papa cant be dead. He'll soon be BACK ...

POLICE: Please take heart MADAM. (Drops his card on the table.) That is our office in LAGOS, when you're ready, please come and take responsibility of his CORPSE. Once again, i'm truly really sorry ...

(As he opened the door, he looked back once again at the woman, who was now weeping uncontrollably on the floor, and her son trying to console her, her son who hasn't even believed that his father is dead, he shook his head in pity and slowly closed the door behind him)

MAMA AMAKA: Chai!!! My enemies has succeeded. They have done it O! They have finished me! Eiiii! ...

AMAKA: Mama, take it easy. No amount of CRY would bring him back. Just believe GOD has a reason for everything ...

WOMAN #1: My sister, take heart, it has happened, nothing can change the past, we should be thinking of how to BURY him now, how to give him a good funeral. Look at your daughter, she has accepted that fact, seeing you like this, what would you have her do? ...

AMAKA: DEATH. You know it feels like staring at the lifeless body of someone you really love, someone that means a lot to you. Just staring at him, he cant breathe, he cant move, his skin all cold and white, just laying there still like a log of wood. It makes me wonder, what is LIFE? Accepting the fact that everyone is bound to die one day would help you get over your losses. Believing that, the only end to the suffering of this world is DEATH. A lot of people are scared of it, a lot of people do all sort of evil just to stay alive, but for how long, when you know its inevitable. Over a 100 hundred lives are lost in a day, just as new lives are created on a daily basis. When you come to realize the true purpose of your creation, only then would you be able to overcome the FEAR of DEATH.
