- That mean that God will continue to bless you for us.

- Amen. - Amen.

- Do you know what the word "Consider" means?

And by the way dad, how comes I wasn't this spoilt

when I was in school?

- Because you are the first.

(Seyi chuckles)

- Okay girls, seriously we invited you to dinner

because daddy and I have something to tell you.

Daddy is off to Kenya next week on a conference,

and we just wanted to keep you informed.

- Wow. - Mmh yeah.

- That's great. - Yeah.

- I can drop you at the airport like you always dad.

- You don't need to do that,

because the team is bringing an airport shuttle to pick me.

- Okay. - Fair enough.

- Okay dad, I think we need to pray for your safe trip.

- [David] Yeah mm-hmm.

- I'm still.

(Olashile sighs)

- Finito. - Yeah, thank you very much

for helping me pack.

- Thank you also.

- What are you thanking me for?

- Well, first for the meal,

and also for just being the very best husband.

- Hey, you flatter me, (chuckles)

well you know, you make things easy for us.

- So there's something important I have to discuss with you.

- What's it?

- Right, so I did some online research about

"Kenya, Nairobi, the women",

and I found out that they like tall, dark,

handsome and chocolatey.

(both laughs)

David (speaks in foreign language)

I've heard that you know,

these girls their seductive skills can be overwhelming.

- And you know you've never had any problem

with me concerning that,

and you're not gonna have any problem with me.

- Yes, time is very short (speaks in foreign language)

Those girls are something else,

so to make life easy for both of us,

- Yeah. - I think it's better

for you not to talk to them. - Okay, I won't talk to them.

- Good. - You know what?

- Mm- hmm.

- I would close my eyes as I walk on the street.

- And you might fall on someone's bosom, mm-mmh,

open your eyes. - Okay.

- See where you are going. - Okay. (both laugh)

I hope I wouldn't miss my flight.

- I did your online booking too so we're cool.

(dramatic music)

What are you waiting for now?

What, what's wrong?

What, What's going on? - Oga?

- What? - Oga?

(Olashile screams)

Oga?

(speaks in foreign language)

Oga?

Oga?

- [Nurse] How are you feeling sir?

- I feel better.

- Are you feeling better?

- Yes, yes.

- The doctor will be with us shortly madam.

- Thank you.

- Greetings Mr and Mrs. Coker.

- Excuse me sir.

- Dr. Okon we were jus talking about you.

- Oh great, I'm here now. - Yes.

- How are you, how are you feeling?

- Fine thank you.

- Good, so, due to your sudden seizures,

we carried out a series of tests,

and we did a CAT scan --

- And?

- (sighs) I have grave news.

- The preliminary result shows that you have large tumor

in your brain.

- Oh Lord. - Oh my God.

- I'm sorry but there is more,

due to where the tumor is located in the brain sir,

it will be next to impossible for us to think

that we can operate it without the risk of death.

- Are you saying it may come back,

after you've treated it?

- What I'm saying is, there are two grades;

- Okay.

we have the low grade and the high grade.

The low grade are considered grade one, grade two

and often time we see them as non-cancerous,

which means after treatment they're not likely to grow back.

While the high grade are often considered or classified

as grade three and four, which means they're malignant,

highly cancerous.

And they're most likely to grow back after treatment.

- Which grade is mine?

(Dr. Okon sighs)

No go on, I will eventually tell her even if she isn't here.

Talk to me.

- Okay sir, you have grade four.

- [Olashile] Oh my God.

- And the test have shown us

that it's developed in different parts of your body.

And have metastasized to the brain.

- Doctor, how long do I have? (sighs)

- It's okay.

- How long?

- [David] How long do I have?

- Well, it's hard to tell, maybe months, weeks, maybe years.

It's hard to tell.

- So this is how it ends?

(dog barks)

Death, you ugly,

you are ugly, so ugly.

(David screams)

(Olashile sighs)

(soft piano music)

(Olashile sobs)

(door opens)

Olashile, you have to take something.

Here, drink.

- I'm confused, I don't understand any of this.

How do I live without you?

Please, tell me.

- Olashile. - Yes please.

Tell me. - We have to tel the girls.

Yes.

Olashile, we shall overcome this together.

(piano music)

- Mom, Dad.

What is so urgent that you asked us to come down here?

- Mommy?

- Mom, can you let us, your children know what's going on.

- Your father is sick.

- (chuckles) sick. - How?

- What do you mean, he's sick?

- It appears I have an inoperable brain tumor.

- (gasps) My God. (sobs)

- Wait, wait.

Dad what did you say?

Mom, dad are you tell, dad?

- It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

- (murmurs) like this. - It's Okay.

- So what's going to happen now dad?

- My dear, I don't know.

(piano music)

(Seyi sobs)

- It's all right, it's all right.

It's okay.

You know, what my princess, it's okay.

Seyi it's okay.

- Coffee sir. - Oh Mama D, thank you.

(cups clacking)

- Yes sir. - Thank you.

Ah yes.

- You're welcome sir. - Yeah, it's nice.

- Sir are you still going out today?

- Oh yes, I will soon step out.

- Okay. - Thank you.

(David groans)

- Sir, are you okay sir?

- Mmmh yeah.

Thank you. - Yes sir.

- All right. - All right sir.

Sir, are you okay? - I'm okay.

(sighs) Oh my God.

Oh God.

(Mama D mumbles)

Yeah, thank you, thank you.

(Olashile and David chuckle)

- This feels nice. - Yeah, it is.

- You know it's making me feel very, very.

(David laughs)

- All right.

(Olashile chuckles)

(David sighs)

- It just won't respond.

- Hey, it's fine you're just tired.

- Olashile, you and I know that's not true.

It's this tumor thing, it's killing me

- Don't say that, you will not die

in the might name of Jehovah.

Prayer is key David. - Yeah.

- Prayer is key. - Prayer is key.

Well I know.

Thank you.

Olashile. - Yes, do you need something?

- No, I'm fine.

I just want us to talk about something.

- Okay.

- My love, from the moment we met,

you've always been there for me

and I cannot thank you enough.

Olashile, if I have that chance to return to this world,

I'd choose you over, and over, and over again.

- I know baby, and I choose you, but you're going nowhere.

We will weather this storm together, hm-mh?

- Ah yes, we will and I want to make a request of you.

- Anything, anything for my love.

- I don't want you to continue to mourn my death

when I'm gone, therefore, I want you to meet,

and marry another man that would take good care of you,

when I'm gone.

- What is the meaning of this nonsense?

(David sighs)

- Olashile, I'm going to die soon,

and I wanna make sure that there is a man

that would take good care of you, when I'm gone.

- What kind of talk is this.

This is not you talking, I think you need to rest.

- Olashile whatever is happening to me now is inevitable.

Look at me, I can barely move around.

I can't even make love to my wife.

- That doesn't matter now, it doesn't.

- I know, but this is what I want.

I just want to make sure that there's a good man.

A good man that would take care of my wife

when I am gone that is what I want do it for me.

- David you're going nowhere.

You will be here with me

and if God forbids something happens,

the children are here, I'll be fine.

- For how long?

These children will marry and go.

And I don't want you to be alone, when you are old.

- Okay, you know what?

I've heard, it's fine, I agree.

After you're gone, I will find somebody else and marry,

let's sleep.

(piano music)

- Olashile, please I want you to do it before I die.

I want you to meet and marry a man that would take good care

of you before I die.

- (speaks in foreign language) David.

(speaks in foreign language). What is the meaning of all this?

David (speaks in foreign language)

- Please. - I should leave you

and marry someone

(speaks in foreign language)

- Do it for me.

- (Olashile speaks in foreign language)

David is enough, don't, stop, you know what?

Lets just sleep (speak in foreign language) David, David.

David (mumbles) just sleep, sleep.

I don't know what you're saying just sleep, it's enough.

(speaks in foreign language)

- Olashile, (mumbles)

- How are you? - How are you?

Fine. - I'm good.

- Look at you.

- Where are you, are you going out?

- I'm going to the market

to buy some things for your mother.

- And you're looking very good.

- Looking good inside uniform,

leave me (speaks in foreign language)

- Mama D, I hope you've made me my favorite delicacy.

- But did you tell me?

You didn't tell me you were coming.

- Okay. - Don't worry,

I'll come and make it for you. - But buy me sweet when you're coming.

I'll make it for you, don't wait up. - (laughs) take care.

- [David] Why don't you try and reason with me.

- [Olashile] David, please, please, stop this nonsense,

if the plan is to get rid of me then say so.

- [David] Olashile calm down now.

Look I am sick, and this sickness is not going away.

- [Olashile] You're not dying, the doctors have said that,

you know, there might be brain damage but you're not dead.

- [David] Olashile mi, listen to me, please look at me.

- [Olashile] I don't even want to look at you right now.

- I know this is very hard for you to understand,

but I know very soon you will understand.

Olashile I am not dying yet, but you and I know

that this sickness will catch up with me sooner or later.

I know our love is strong, very strong,

but how are you going to cope when I am gone?

- David, David, David please,

please don't talk like this, please.

- Please do this for me.

I need you to get someone strong enough

to stay with you through the grief.

- If anything happens to you, God forbid,

I have my children David.

- Olashile please, do this for me, please.

- I don't understand you anymore.

What will I tell my children that I'm, leaving,

that their father is ill and dying and I'm leaving.

- Olashile don't worry, I will handle Abiola and Seyi,

I'll handle them.

- David this is not right.

This is not okay.

(sighs)

(sniffles)

- So mom when is dad going to see the specialist doctor?

Mm? - Mm.

- Mommy? - Mm.

- When is dad seeing the specialist doctor?

- (sighs) I'm sorry I have a lot on my mind,

with your father's illness and all that.

- I understand that.

Anything else you want me to know?

- What do you mean?

- I heard you guys arguing earlier.

(Olashile sighs)

- That means you know what we were arguing about.

- I didn't want to pry.

- Abiola, I think you should talk

to your dad about this, okay?

(car engine roars) (car honks)

- I think my muscles are getting stronger.

- Yes, thank you.

- You're welcome dad.

Okay.

(David groans)

- Yeah.

- Let me help you with that.

- Okay.

- (laughs) You're sure don't want anything to eat?

- Hey, no, I'm okay, I'm good.

- So how are you doing dad?

- I feel blessed. - Dad I know you are blessed.

You know what I'm asking, how is your health?

- Oh well, I'm taking it one day at a time.

- That's the way forward. (both laugh)

- I hope you checked your sister in school?

- I spoke to Seyi yesterday.

- How is she?

- She is fine, she's not saying much nowadays,

but you understand.

- I know and that brings me

to the reason I invited you here.

- Okay.

- Thank you. - You're welcome dad.

- Abiola - yes dad.

- I need your help. - Anything for you daddy.

- Yeah, you know how much I love your mother.

- I do.

- Yeah, I want her to do something for me,

but she's refusing.

She doesn't want to do it.

You and I know that my health is not good.

I asked your mother to look for a man

that would take good care of her when I am gone.

I know your mother she will not do it,

so I want her to get that man now that I'm a live,

a man that would take good care of her before I die.

- What?

Dad why would you say that?

- I want you to understand where I'm coming from.

Abiola you are my oldest child, so I have to be open to you.

I can not hide anything from you.

This tumor thing is destroying me.

- But the new doctor said that --

- Oh forget about all that, I am the one the one

that knows the way I'm feeling on the inside.

I don't have much time left. - Dad no, God forbid.

I reject that for you in Jesus name.

- I hear you, you know, you girls will soon get married,

especially you and soon.

And your sister Seyi will follow suit,

and I don't wanna her to be alone when you girls are gone.

- Dad I understand, it's not like I don't know

what you're saying.

(David sighs)

You know how much mummy loves you,

she's going to be so hurt.

- Abiola, sometimes in life you take certain decisions

that will hurt people around you so much.

- I just don't know about this particular decision.

I don't know.

(sighs)

(piano music)

- [Doctor] How often do you experience these headaches?

- Once in a while doctor.

- Now, how would you rate it on a scale of one to 10.

I mean 10 being the highest.

- Six. - Six, okay.

Now I'm going to check your heart beat, okay?

- Okay.

- I would need you to breath in and hold it.

Let go.

(David exhales)

Again. (David inhales)

Let go.

(David exhales)

(piano music)

(Olashile sniffles)

- (Speaks in foreign language)

- Yeah,

Abiola says she has spoken to you.

I don't understand it.

How about tonight can we talk?

Please.

- Okay, why don't you call me later.

I'm rather busy now.

- [Man] Thank you.

Meanwhile, I sent you something you can think about for now.

Can't wait to talk to you again.

- Bye. - Okay.

Oh my goodness.

Hello. - Have you seen it?

- What kind of disgusting, pervert, how can, you're such --

- [Man] You don't like it?

- Look, don't ever, I repeat don't you ever call

this number again or I'll have you arrested.

Pervert!

- Who is that?

- David this all your fault,

it's because of you I'm going through all this.

See.

- What!

Ah, he sent you his nude pictures?

- Disgusting, that's disgusting.

(door slams)

- Ah, God.

Oh my God.

Good morning. - Good morning.

- Oh no, are you still angry over last night?

I'm sorry.

You see that's the problem with random men.

Don't worry, there's this colleague of mine.

He's handsome, well to do.

- Excuse you!

Are you now pimping me off to your friends?

- No, he's my colleague not a friend.

- What's the bloody difference?

- Look, I'm trying to make sure you continue to be happy.

- Why can't you see how happy I am now?

Why can't you see how much joy you've brought into my life?

- Olashile, I am dying.

- That is all you talk about, dying, going.

Why can't you be optimistic?

Why must you be pessimistic?

The doctor said there's a 50/50 chance,

why can't you just allow me to be by your side till the end?

Why?

You know what?

I can't, I wouldn't do this.

I can't do this. (mumbles)

- Olashile, what are you trying to do?

Olashile, what are you trying to do?

Ah no now, stop, Olashile stop.

(Olashile sobs)

Oh my God, you don't do that, stop.

(car engine roars)

- Hello, Sewa.

- [Adesewa] My love, how are you doing?

- I'm fine, I'm on my way to your house.

- [Adesewa] Oh, and we are currently out of town.

What's going on, I hope everything is fine?

- Everything is fine, I'm just stressed.

- [Adesewa] Why, is David out of town?

- Yes there's major reconstruction going on at the house,

and David is out of town.

The noise is just too much.

- [Adesewa] Oh, I see.

Well, we've left the key inside the compound.

Let me speak with Adamu when you get you to the gate.

- Oh that's fantastic take care.

(car screeches) (dramatic music)

- (speaks in foreign language)

madam were you sleeping on the wheel?

What's the meaning of this now?

- I'm very sorry, please, very sorry, I'm really --

- It's okay madam, it's all right, just calm down.

Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine. - Sure?

- It's been an emotional day that's what.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm so sorry about your car.

- It's okay, it's okay.

Even though just now I was coming out of the car to really,

really tear you apart but I think the tears worked the magic,

it's okay, it's okay. - No, I'll fix it

if there's any -- - no it's all right,

just a slight dent, it's all right, I'll take care of it.

- Thank you. - I didn't catch your name.

- Olashile.

- Ah, Olashile, well I am Oladipo.

- Okay.

- Ola Demeji.

- Meaning? - Meaning we already have something in common.

( Olashile laughs)

- You're very funny.

- Well, I'm trying really hard,

I hope it's working, I'm just trying hard to impress you.

(chuckles)

- You're trying to impress woman that bashed in your car.

- No you didn't bash my car,

you just dented it a little bit,

but if you had bashed my car, Oh Jesus Christ,

we would have been physical for you. (laughs)

You look so much nicer when you smile.

- Are you suggesting that I'm ugly when I cry?

- Yes. (both laugh)

- I can't believe you said that.

(After two weeks this guy is still trying, he won't give up.

Okay. (chuckles)

(piano music)

(Olashile laughs)

Stop, Please.

Is there any time of the day that you're not this funny?

(chuckles) How?

You know what?

I've had enough laughs for this evening please, please.

(laughs)

Actually I've had enough laughs

to last me a last me a life time.

Enough of this please, I'm going to stop taking

to you right now, I've had it, yes.

(laughs)

Okay, I'll talk to you later, take care.

Mm-hmm (laughs) good bye. (laughs)

(dog barks)

- Ah, thank you very much, um-mh.

- Mama D, sir.

- Mama D thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

(sighs)

Barrister, how are you?

Please you need to speed up my will adjustment

and divorce proceedings.

Oh yes, it's urgent, very, very urgent.

Yeah, thank you.

(soft piano music)

(exhales)

(plate clacks)

- Hello Dipo.

- [Dipo] Hey, name sake, how are you?

What a surprise?

- I am fine thank you and you?

- [Dipo] I am well, even better now that I heard your voice.

Just grinding through a pile of files at work.

- Oh, I can call back if this is a busy time for you.

- [Dipo] No, no, no, no, for you not at all.

What's up?

- Well I was thinking about maybe this weekend,

we could do something --

- [Dipo] Maybe we hang out.

- Yes, something like that.

- [Dipo] Oh wow, this is my lucky day.

Even if I had plans they're now canceled,

by the way the Ola Dimejis are in effect.

- I can still change my mind.

- [Dipo] Ah, please don't.

- Okay then bye. (sighs)

- My memory loss is significantly worse these days.

I mean, I hardly remember things; names, places,

faces, even my passwords.

- Now how frequent are these memory gaps?

- Not all the time, and like every other day,

things occur, you know, I think my mind is slipping away.

- Okay, it's probably a sign

that the tumor is getting worse.

Now, is your mobility getting better?

- I'll still need to use a wheelchair.

My legs just refused to do the work of walking.

- We may have to run some more tests at least that

to help us to determine what is actually happening,

but you see the position of the tumor is very delicate.

Now, surgery could lead to instant death

and not operating on it could still lead to death.

Well, as it is it's just all a race against time,

this could buy you some time,

but then the risk associated

with your condition, they are the real threats.

Well, we could allow you some days here,

at least try to monitor you.

- I don't think that will be necessary doctor.

I think it is better for me to embrace the fact

that the end is near.

- Well Mr. Coker, in case you change your mind,

I can still get the team back,

I mean the two oncologists who are reviewing your case,

at least by that we could all come together

to know what to do next.

Although, the final decision is entirely yours,

Mr. Coker.

- Doctor, I've ade my decision,

I'll be in touch with you.

Thank you very much.

- Well, you don't mind if I dispatch a nurse

in helping you to get home.

- No, I'll manage thank you.

(car engine roars)

(door squeals open)

(Dipo sighs heavily)

- Oh great punctual, I hope I didn't keep you waiting?

- No, no, no, no you're on time.

- That's great.

Let's sit.

So how are doing?

- I'm fine thank you and you?

- I'm amazing, I mean now that you're here in the middle

of the day, I never ...

Anyways, what are you having?

- A glass of wine would be fine.

- A glass of wine be (speaks in foreign language)

it will not be fine.

I know that I may work a very tedious job

but I can afford to give you are descent meal,

so please order something else.

- Okay, well, anything?

- Now you're talking.

Hey.

So I was really (mumbles) getting down here.

Hello, how are you. - Yes, can we see the menu

please, thank you.

So Mr. Oladipo Oladimichi what do you do?

- After I left the military, I started up a property firm.

So I manage properties for a few companies in Port Harcourt,

and Abuja, and Lagos.

- Hmm. - Yeah.

- Family, children?

- I have a son, he's studying in Ukraine at the moment.

I know what you are thinking now,

I lost his mother to cancer a few years ago,

so no I am not married.

Everything Okay?

- Did you say cancer?

I can't do this, I really can't do this, I can't.

- What?

(piano music)

(cars swooshing)

(Olashile sighs)

(Olashile sobs)

(piano music) (water drips)

(sniffles)

(sighs)

(phone rings)

- Hi Odipo.

- Hello, Olashile.

I just called to check upon you.

I know that you're okay, but you kinda sound low,

are you all right?

- I'm fine, very well.

- I just want you to know that I want to be there

for you in anyway if I can,

but you really need to let me in.

- I really appreciate that thank you.

- You home?

- Yes I am, why do you ask?

- I'm coming over.

Is that okay?

Are you there?

- Yes.

- Oh, I'll be right there.

(upbeat piano music)

(phone buzzes)

- (sighs) I can't believe today has arrived dad. (chuckles)

All right, are you good? - Yeah, I'm good.

- Easy there.

(chuckles)

Shagwe are you done?

(Abiola sighs)

- My dear, I'm sorry this is happening,

but I'd rather spend my last days in the sane climes

of the US than this place.

- Dad it's okay, you are going

to live long in Jesus name dad.

- Amen.

- You and Seyi can visit me in the US

when I'm settled.

Okay, at least I'll have the opportunity to see my girls

before I die.

- Aah ah, dad don't ever say that again,

why would you speak negatively?

Please don't.

- I'm sorry, I called your mother to tell her

about this trip,

she didn't pick my calls, but I left a message.

- Well, that's okay, let us just hope

that mommy gets the message before then.

Nonetheless, we need to get you to the airport,

and remember we have to pick Seyi on our way.

- Oh, that's true, that's true.

- (sighs) I can't believe it's here now dad.

- (chuckles) don't worry, it is well.

- (groans) I'll try, lemme try.

(Abiola chuckles)

(David groans)

- Shagwe please open the gates.

- Ah God.

(car door slams shut)

(car engine roars)

(drum music)

(suspense music)

(piano music)

- Have a nice day ma. - Ah, thank you my dear.

- Olashile mi.

(Olashile screams)

- David, what, how, what are you doing here?

How are you even walking?

- Oh yes, I'm walking again amongst other thing.

- How, your tumor, you traveled to American

- Yes, yes, I traveled,

but I think Seyi's prayers worked for me

because they found another treatment

to remove the tumor and voila, I am back bigger and better.

- Wow, the girls didn't even tell me.

- It's like I kept it from every other person

because I didn't want anybody to get worried about me.

I didn't wanna give them hopes, you know.

I've not even see my girls.

I wanted to see you first.

- Oh.

- How is Dipo?

- Dipo is fine, we are fine.

- I can see you've been happy.

- Isn't that what you wanted?

- Yes, it is.

- Ah.

- Aww, look at this one, it's a beauty.

- Yes, it's very nice.

- And oh no, no, no, no, no, no this one is amazing.

Look at this one, the setting is just so right.

Ah, but this one though, I will have to say

this one is the best.

The cut of the diamond, the fact they can personalize things

in there, I can write a message in there, it's ...

Are you okay? - Yeah, oh, yeah, I'm fine.

- You sure you're okay?

- I'm fine, okay, I'm fine.

- So anyways. - That's the one I like.

- Yeah, but I'm thinking we have a choice

between this one and the other one,

because I think I'd rather go for this one

because of the fact that they have.

(instrumental jazz music)

- Daddy. (screams)

- Dad (laughs)

- My lovely princesses, how are you?

- Oh my God Daddy, - is it really you?

- Seyi, sit down.

Wow. - Dad look at you.

- Yes. - Is it really you?

- Yeah live and direct.

- You don't have the wheel chair anymore.

- No. - And you are looking, fantastic.

- Thank you.

Thanks to some good, good friends,

who introduced me to the new tumor treatment center

in the US.

And off course, Seyi's prayers were crossing borders.

It's like a miracle girl. (laughs)

- (laughs) Praise the Lord!

- Hallelujah! - Hallelujah!( laughs)

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Dad?

So what of my own prayers, okay?

- Oh no Abiola?

- No problem, everything works for good.

- Amen.(chuckles)

- It's okay, hey.

Now everything is all right.

We're back together and we're good together.

Everything is okay.

(Abiola sighs) (David chuckles)

- Hm-mh, not everything,

What about mum?

I hope you know she's getting married in a few months time.

- Ah yes, I'm aware.

- I wish we could be like when we used to be before.

I wish the whole Coker family, you know.

- Well I also wish that too, but mum has moved

on to a new path, and none of us can blame her.

- Oh well, it's all right, it's well, it's okay.

Come on don't worry, it's okay.

At least we back together

and we're happy now.

Daddy is full of life now,

nothing is wrong with daddy again, okay?

Now tell me, my girls,

what has been happening to you when I was away?

- Well, lets all start from that one on the left hand side,

go on tell him.

- Seyi tell me, what has been happening, any new guy?

- Daddy?

- So what is new?

- Daddy?

(David laughs)

- Aww, thank you so much baby.

Mmh, smells like heaven.

(Olashile chuckles) Thank you I really appreciate it, thank you.

- So I made arrangements with Dasola tomorrow, the tailor.

- Mm-hmm.

- To go and get fitted for the dress.

- Well I already told you I wanted to take you

to meet my uncle tomorrow.

- I know but if I don't get the fitting done now

then the dress wouldn't be ready,

so I just thought I'll just make that decision and --

- That's not fair, it's not considerate at all.

I mean how could you just take

that decision without consulting with me?

- I'm sorry. - That's just extremely wrong.

- Ah, ah. - How can you

disrespect me like that.

We just talk about, how can you (Olashile screams)

even think about doing.

I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry.

Babe, I'm sorry.

- What was that for?

- Baby, I think it's work stress,

I don't know what came over me.

Please it will never happen again, my queen, I'm sorry.

- It's fine, I'm okay, (mumbles) I'll be fine.

- Come to think of this, I could come

with you tomorrow as you do your fitting.

I'll wait for you while you do your thing

and then we can make a whole day of it.

- Oh no, no, no,

see you in the tailors, you'll be bored,

you'll bored. - Oh, come on as long as I get

to spend the whole day with you, I'll be okay.

- No I don't think that necessary, no it is fine,

I'll be fine, yeah.

- Okay, fine dear.

I'm gonna get you something you snack on, okay?

I'll be right back. - Yeah.

(Dipo whistles)

(piano music)

(door slams)

- You welcome home.

- (chuckles) This is your home, not mine.

(David sighs)

You still have my picture in the house?

- Oh yes, only to continue to be there,

no woman, no woman can take your place here.

Even though I'm aware you belong to another man now.

- That's so sweet. - Sit down.

(piano music)

let me get you drinks, Mama D had to go because I traveled,

so I'm at your service.

- Water will be fine thank you.

- Water it is then, you know what Olashile?

I'm so glad you're here, the water.

(David sighs)

(cars swooshing)

- My beautiful bride to be,

Mrs. Bankole in a few months, hello baby how are you?

(Both laugh)

How was your day today?

- It was rather hectic.

Don't tell me your were caught in traffic

on the way from Dasola's shop?

- What?

Dasola's shop yes, the traffic was really bad.

- That place is notorious for traffic

but you know what?

Sit down, babe I'm gonna make it better.

First of all I'm gonna whip you something

to eat in a few seconds,

and then I'll hook you up with one of my magical massages.

Don't move a muscle baby, I'll be right back.

(Dipo whistles)

Hello, Dasola.

- [Dasola] Good morning, Uncle Dipo.

- Good morning there, how are you?

- [Dasola] We bless God, Sir.

How is madam?

- She's fine, thank you.

- [Dasola] The shoemaker called sir,

he wants to confirm how many grooms men

he would make the shoes for.

He said he has been calling,

but have been unable to reach you.

- I think it's the reception,

I'll call him back later though.

- [Dasola] Okay, sir.

- So in this case send your account number

so that I can credit you with the money for madam's gown.

- [Dasola] Okay, Sir. I will send it now.

- How long before that is ready?

- [Dasola] 10 days after madam comes over to measure.

- Measure?

- [Dasola] Yes, she called yesterday

to say she couldn't make it down.

She has called that she will come in today or tomorrow sir.

- Okay, send me your account number

so I can credit you when I get to the office, okay?

- Okay sir. - Thank you.

(phone chimes)

(piano music) (water drips)

(phone beeps)

- So do you like the food?

- Oh yeah, pretty nice thank you.

- What do you think about the chicken,

I think I finally got the recipe right,

just the way you like it. - Mm- hmm.

- Yes? - It's brilliant.

- Babe, so my aunt called, my uncle die in Croatia,

so we want to have a family meeting

to see how bring the body back to Nigeria.

- I'm really sorry to hear that.

- Thank you very much.

- Were they based in Croatia?

- He was but his wife and children were based in Osogbo.

- So you have to go there to see them?

- No, no, no not Osogbo, I'm going to Abeokuta,

that's where my aunt lives.

- So how long long do you reckon you'll be gone for?

- Not long, not long, just long enough to make sure

that we finish everything.

- Sorry.

(Olashile sighs)

- Yes, I'm the one who ordered the Uber,

are you on the road?

Okay look out for a white car, Toyota.

Yes, all right.

(Car engine roars)

- Are you Mr. Dipo? - Yes I am.

- Okay. - Okay.

- So where are we going to?

- Just hold on first.

Follow this car. - This car?

- Yes.

(car engine roars)

(gate rails open)

(car honks)

Please take me to my car. - Okay.

(car engine starts)

(piano music)

(Dipo screams)

(laughs)

(sniffles)

(car honks)

(piano music)

Don't ever, ever take your time like that again.

Must I (mumbles).

Don't ever do that again.

Are you stupid, are you mad.

- [Gate man] I'm sorry sir, I'm sorry sir.

- Jerk.

- [Gate Man] I'm sorry sir.

(phone rings)

- Hello. - How was your trip?

I've been expecting your call.

- Yes, there was quite a bit of traffic along the way

that's why, I just got here now.

- And how is she?

- Oh shoot, it was Dipo. - What?

(dramatic music)

what did he say?

- He's calling back, please don't say anything.

- Okay.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I guess the reception is poor.

- Yes it seems so.

So how's your aunty's family?

- They're fine, they're good.

- Right, have you eaten babe?

- No I haven't, have you eaten?

- (sighs) me neither.

I haven't eaten just some, try to get something to eat,

but I'm really missing you.

- (chuckles) Thank you that's so sweet.

I'm missing you too dear.

Okay talk to you later, bye.

- What did he say?

- He just wanted to find out if I had gotten

into my aunt's place safely.

- I see.

Olashile, I think it will be good if you let him know

that we're back together.

(Olashile sighs)

(Dipo sighs)

(dramatic music)

- I didn't know I'll be this lucky

after all I put you through.

- That is in the past.

- So what exactly is our (mumbles) plan?

- I'm not going back to him, if that's what you mean.

I can't even face him.

- I'm not asking you to go back ti him, no,

all I'm saying is that we should make it official

that you're leaving him.

You know he'll definitely call back.

- I know, I'll tell him when the time is right.

- Okay, all right.

- Nothing can make me leave you again.

- I don't want you to go either.

(both laugh)

I just want us to do what is right, you know

so that he doesn't keep holding on to shadows.

- I will tell him when the time is right.

- Okay.

(David sighs) (Olashile chuckles)

Thank you.

- Don't go. - I'm not going.

(both laugh)

(piano music)

(Olashile humming)

Hello Dipo. - Hey, hello babe,

how are you doing.

- I'm doing well.

- So how's it going over there.

- Things are all right.

- When is the burial?

- We're still making arrangements.

- I miss you.

- So where are you now.

- I'm home.

- I said I miss you.

- Oh, I didn't hear you.

I miss you too.

(piano music)

(Dipo chuckles)

- My love, I can't wait to see my girls faces

when they come visiting this weekend, you know.

- Me too.

(door bangs)

- Look how can you barge into my --

- Hey.

You know, is this where you told me were going?

- Dipo, what are you doing here?

- How could you do this to me?

I gave you nothing but undiluted love,

how could you do this to me.

So you want to leave me for him,

like my last wife left me for another man.

- Look, Dipo, I can explain.

- How could you consider leaving me for him?

- Mr. Ola-- - shut up.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

- Shut your bloody mouth.

You left here, you left her all alone and broken in pieces.

I came into her life and meticulously put her back together

piece by piece lovingly,

and you think you can just samba back in here

and take over like nothing ever happened?

That's not how the story ends.

This not how this kind of story ends.

(Olashile weeps)

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Please, please don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

I can't concentrate when you cry.

- Okay.

- Don't cry, I'm sorry too, I'm really very sorry,

you know that I can't function without you.

You know that I can't think without you.

You know I'm nothing without you.

- I'll go pack my thing so that we can leave.

I just go pack my things.

- No, it's too late, you already choose your side,

you already pitched your tent.

If I can't have you then he definitely wouldn't have you.

- Please, please, please, please.

- You're standing in my way. - Please.

- Move now, move, - Please now, no please.

- Just move.
