but why don't you just move in with me?

Really, babe? I thought we spoke about this.

I told you the reason why I can't move in with you yet.

Huh?

I know. I know.

You know, now I'm thinking I should have made this place really ugly,

so you wouldn't have a choice but to just move in with me.

So you think if you made this place look ugly,

I would change my mind?

As long as there's water and light, I will manage it like that

Baby.

Mm-hmm.

Why are you being a crybaby?

At least I'm close by, and you can visit me anytime you want.

Not like when I was out of the state, That would have been a problem.

Oh, true.

And thank you for agreeing to relocate, even though I know I am

not entirely the reason why.

Hey! God. Men!

You just can't satisfy them.

What? Did I lie, though?

I'm really happy to be back. I'm happy you're back.

Babe.

Babe.

Mm-hmm.

You need to get...

You need to get up and go get ready for your appointment.

Mm-hmm.

Five more minutes, please.

No, babe. It's 6:40 already.

6:40.

Why didn't you wake me up since now?

The alarm just went off now.

Get up.

Good morning, sweetie. Good morning, my love.

You know what, I'm...

I think we should shower together.

Mm-hmm.

What?

You want to make me late for the first day of work.

No, you're not. Your plans will not work.

You're not going to be late.

Really?

Uh-huh.

You know how long our shower's going to take together?

I think I have an idea. No, I'll pass. But thank you you for the offer, sir.

What are you afraid of? You're far too kind.

Okay, I think you should just go get ready so you don't be late.

All right.

And don't try to sneak in on me.

I mean it.

I'll try.

Love you, babe.

Love you, too.

Don't be deceived by her innocent look! She's a thief, let them burn her!

God, I hope I don't regret this.

Oh my goodness, you are awake.

Are you okay?

Where am I?

You're at the hospital.

Hey, hey, hey, easy, okay?

Thank you, ma. Please, what's the time?

It's 8 AM. It's a new day.

8 AM? Yes.

You stayed over.

Jesus.

Hey, hey, hey, relax. You are not strong enough.

Please, ma, I need to see my mother.

She's really sick.

Your wounds are very serious.

We have to check with the nurse if you're okay to be discharged, okay?

And if your mom is as sick as you say, then we need to bring her to the hospital.

Self-medication is very wrong.

My wounds are not even not that serious.

I mean, it can heal even without medication.

But my mom, she can die any time

If I don't get her medicine please!

We'll get her, okay?

We'll bring her to the hospital.

But we don't have money for the hospital.

That's fine. I will take care of the hospital bills.

I promise.

Let me get the nurse, all right?

And then we'll go and get your mom as soon as possible.

Thank you, ma.

That's fine.

Let me get the nurse, okay?

Matilda?

Allen?

Okay, alright. Cool Increase the IVM, Alright sir

Hi, Temi

You're gonna be fine, okay?

Are you okay?

Temi, why stealing?

Hmm?

Don't you know those people could have lynched you and gone free?

And that would have been it.

Nothing could be done.

I'm not a thief.

Are you not?

Temi?

Hello ma.

Hello ma

Good day ma Hi, good day Is everything alright?

Ma please, I need your help I'm so sorry to disturb you but

My mom is sick and I don't have money for her medicine.

Oh, I'm really sorry about that.

What's your name?

My name is Temi

Temi?

Okay, and where do you live?

I live few minutes across from here

And what about your dad?

My dad is dead.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Uhmmm...

You know what?

Okay, you know what?

Why don't you hop in?

I understand. It's fine. And you're very safe, okay?

Hop in and I will drop you at your house

and then we'll take your mom to the hospital from there.

How about that?

We don't have money for the hospital.

I see. I understand.

Okay, I promise I will take care of the hospital bills.

I promise.

Really?

Thank you.

You're welcome. So let's go. Hop in.

Oh, you can sit at the front.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Are you hungry?

I think I have something here. Just one second.

Oh, there you go.

There you go.

Thank you.

Easy there

I'm so sorry. I'm just very hungry.

You can drop me off here.

Are you sure that here is fine?

Yes. The road is bad moving forward. I'll go get my mom.

Okay. If you say so.

Thank you, ma.

Sorry, ma.

Oh, that's okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

Don't swallow me

Temi

I'm so hungry. It's okay mum. I got you.

Ah.

Where did you get money to buy all this?

Ah ah

Mum, please relax

Temi!

I've been so hungry and tired.

I know, Mom. That's why I got this for you.

Even bottle water, not even pure water

Ahhh!

Are you not eating?

Where did you get that money from?

A good samarithan gave it to me when

I said we needed it for your treatment

Just like that?

Just like that.

Temi, I need you to tell me the truth.

Where did you get that money from?

I stole it.

Return it.

But mummy, we need the money for your treatment.

I would rather die than be treated with stolen money.

I am so disappointed.

I raised you better, Temi

I'm sorry, mum

I don't care where or how far you have to go to return it.

Just make sure you look for the owner and give it back.

I looked for you that day but to no avail

Then eventually I realized that you had made away with my purse.

After you pretended to have tripped.

I asked around for you but nobody seemed to know you.

I looked for you everywhere but I couldn't find you.

I still have the money with me.

I did all I did to save my mom.

But I told you I was going to help you.

Didn't I?

I didn't believe you.

In life I've learned that I shouldn't trust anyone.

Now I'm going to ask you this question and I need you to be very honest with me.

Where is your dad?

He's really dead.

And you don't have any siblings?

No.

You need to stop stealing.

Okay?

Mom!

Mommy!

Ah, Temi where have you been since? We have been looking for you.

I'm sorry uncle Tunde Please where is my mom?

What's happened to you?

Nothing happened. It's just a little accident I had.

Little accident? And they plastered your face like this.

Nobody beats me. Where is my mom?

When I came back from work yesterday, I saw her laying flat on the ground.

So I quickly called Baba Rashida so we

can take her to our community hospital.

Jesus! Is she okay?

Maybe, but she is yet to open her eyes And we were asked to bring money

So they can continue with the treatment.

I gave them the little with me but it's not enough

Thank you so much uncle Tunde, I really appreciate.

Is everything okay?

Sorry I startled you.

Who is this fine lady, did she beat you?

No. Uncle Tunde this is Aunty Matilda, the one who promised to help me.

She says she's going to pay for mom's hospital bill.

Okay. Aunty. You have done well. Thank you very much

God will bless you.

You're welcome. My name is Tunde. I'm like an elder brother to Temilade

Very nice. Can we please go check on her at the

health center in case they stopped treating her.

Maybe we can take her to a proper hospital. Is that okay?

Okay. Let me go get some of my mom's stuff. That's a good idea.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Sure, sure. You're very welcome.

Just a sec.

Hi, baby.

Thank goodness.

Come on.

I know you missed me.

Where have you been?

What happened to your phone?

Okay, it's a long day. It's really been a long day and it's a long story.

You will not believe it.

Have a seat, babe. I'm sorry.

What happened?

I was at the hospital.

Are you okay?

Relax. I am fine.

I actually saved a young girl yesterday for being lynched by a massive crowd.

Yeah, and I took her to the hospital to get treatment and then I

ended up taking her mother, who was critically sick,

to the hospital as well.

Wow.

Yeah, I've been busy.

Must have been a long day.

You don't want to know, but I feel happy about it.

Sorry, babe.

Thank you.

Well, look, I understand how crazy your day was,

but please, next time, just leave the voice note or something,

so I don't get worried sick.

I'm sorry, my love. My apologies. Do you forgive me?

Oh, yeah. Apologies accepted

Would you like a massage, though?

I would pay a million bucks for that right now.

Easy. Consider it done.

Now, now, now. Should I now?

I mean, if you're ready. Why not?

You're so sweet, babe. You're the best.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, and guess who I met at the hospital?

Davido?

Mmm? Wizkid

Be serious, babe.

Come on, I met Allen babe.

Who?

Allen

What... what did he want?

He actually works at the hospital, babe.

He was the doctor on duty.

Huh.

So, Allen just...

So you let me know if it's painful, okay?

No, it's not painful.

It's perfect.

Are you sure?

You can put more pressure.

Okay.

Pressure.

Pressure it ooo pressure ooo

Oh, that feels so great. Oh, wow.

Sweetie?

Yeah.

When did you become a professional masseuse?

Well, I had to go learn because of you.

Mm-hmm.

So just relax and enjoy.

How much do I have to pay for this service?

Or do you want me to pay in kind?

Of course you know that I would prefer you to pay in kind.

Trouble oo

I think I'm going to fall asleep on this.

That means the massage is working.

It's really working, babe. This is amazing.

I'm happy about that.

Ah. I like that drop.

Are you going in again? Yes.

Oh, yes.

That's it, babe. You can do it harder.

Just more pressure. Yes.

Right there.

That's the spot.

Oh.

Mm. Harder?

All the way. Yeah.

Oh, you're so good, babe.

I can have this every day, Peter

Every day.

That's all right.

Thank you.

Is that all?

Do you want more?

Do I need to pay for the service?

Not really.

Well, was the massage free? Was it on the house?

Actually on the house.

Oh

Hello.

Hey, Tilda.

How are you?

So you've had my number all this time, huh?

Yeah. Of course I do.

And why haven't you called since then?

Well, you made it very clear that you needed space.

Really, Allen, Come on.

It's been two years.

You're right. It's been two years. I'm sorry. I have no excuse. I just...

was respecting your space, I guess?

I'm actually just staring at a picture of you right now.

A picture of us, is that so?

Mm-hmm.

How are you?

Well... I'm fine. I'm where you left me.

But I'm good. I'm good. And you?

Good. I, uh...

By the time I finished my ward rounds, you had left.

Oh, yeah. I had to leave because I had some things to attend.

And then Temi had been discharged as well.

I understand. I understand.

It was really nice seeing you again.

It was nice seeing you too, Dr. Allen

My personal Dr. Allen

Um, hey.

Don't be a stranger, okay? Call anytime.

Well, let me let you rest. I'll, uh...

Talk to you soon.

All right. Have a good

night. And thank you for calling. And thanks for the help today.

Bye.

Good night.

Allen

Okay.

My mum is awake.

Let me get the doctor, I'd be right back

Hi, Mum.

Ah Where am I?

You're at the hospital.

Wh... What happened to you?

It's nothing. Are you okay now?

I'll live.

Why do you have bruises all over your face?

I got into a little fight.

Not again. I thought we agreed no more fighting.

Mum, I'm okay.

You know I just can't take it when those bullies come at me.

I can assure you that...

It wasn't her fault this time.

Mum

This is Auntie Mathilda. She brought you here.

Hi, Rita.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'm fine. How long have I been here?

Four days.

What? You should have requested for a discharge

I can't afford it.

Rita, it's fine.

Your daughter told me already.

So I'm taking care of your hospital bills.

Why?

Hi, everyone.

I'm so sorry I had a bit of an emergency.

How are you feeling?

Tired. Very tired.

It's normal. You should rest.

Thank you.

You're going to be okay.

So, do you run some kind of charity organization?

No, I don't.

That lady is actually Temi's mother.

Of course. How well did you know them?

I actually saved the young girl from being lynched.

Typical Mathilda.

Yeah. Very typical of me.

Unfortunately, she tried to steal some money and she got caught for it.

She was badly beaten.

And if not for my intervention, that young girl would have been killed.

Wow. That's some story.

Yeah, I know.

Allen, I'm... I'm sorry. Dr. Allen, Please.

Can I know what's wrong with the mom?

I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I'm sure you understand

Yeah Confidential.

Of course.

Hey, but it's good to see you again. You look good.

Thank you. And nice uniform.

Ah. Well.

Thank you.

Thank you. Yeah, I needed that.

Thank you.

Like you know already, this is where we live.

Please feel free to come inside.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Please come in.

Sit down Thank you.

Welcome to my home.

Thank you.

It's

It's fine.

Please, just excuse me.

Okay.

Thank you, Temi

Can I have your hands?

I want you to keep it.

Thank you ma, but I can't.

I'm giving it to you, so it's fine.

I know if I gave it to your mom, she'll probably not take it.

Okay?

I'll let her know that I gave it to you.

But she won't be happy if she sees me with it

It's fine.

I will tell her that I personally dashed you the money.

How about that?

Thank you, Aunty Matilda,

I'm going to take a moment, okay?

Are you okay?

Temi um...

Yeah, I am very okay.

Just...

Getting fresh air.

Are you sure You're okay.?

Yes, I am.

Yes, I am.

You know, I'm feeling hungry.

Do you want to get something to eat?

Yes!

I think that would be a good idea. I'll go tell my mom.

Oh.

Mommy.

Where's Matilda?

Hi, Rita.

Hi,

I was told you did not make your

doctor's appointments. What's going on?

Why are you helping me?

I can see that you need help, and I'm in

the position to help, so why wouldn't I?

Ah! Rita Oku,

I... I...

I am deeply sorry for everything I did.

I... I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I've forgiven you a long time ago, Rita.

It's fine.

Thank you.

Rita, what happened to you?

What happened?

Karma happened.

I never became Mrs. Hastrup.

I moved in with Darey shortly after school, as you already know.

I should have left after giving birth to Temi

My mother practically begged me to come back home.

But I refused.

I didn't want you to have the last laugh.

Plus, I was hopeful that he would eventually...

He would eventually learn to love me.

It was the greatest mistake of my life.

He never really got over you, and he

seized every opportunity he got to tell

me how much he hated me for making him lose you.

We fought at every given opportunity.

To make matters worse, his family never liked me.

She's married now. Get used to it.

If not for your devilish manipulation, she would have been married to me.

Me devilish?

When you were enjoying it, You didn't know I was devilish, right.

But now I'm devilish.

Unfortunately for you Darey

You see both of us, we are stucked together.

So if you like, look at her page all you want.

Nothing will change.

I will never forgive you.

Matilda and I, we had a plan.

We've talked about our future together.

We've planned everything out together. Not until you came into the picture and

you ruined everything.

Until I came into the picture.

Matilda and I had a plan

Mr planner, Keep playing.

One more word for me and I'll beat you to stupor

So that's your plan, Right? To beat me!

So I will move out of this house.

See, let me tell you. It will not happen if you

like, beat me from now till thy kingdom come

I will not go. We will die here together.

Rubbish.

Ha You heard me right?

If you like, go.

Can I, can I pass please?

No, Dare See, You will not leave this house.

Until I receive that alert.

All I'm asking for, is for your daughter.

I'm not asking for anything for me,

She's your responsibility.

I said I don't have money.

I don't have money.

You, Dare, you don't have money.

That's a lie from the pit of hell

And you know that, if it's your other women now

You will, you will turn to zombie and...

Are you mad?

Darey, you slapped me. Ha! You're not going anywhere

You slapped me.

Leave my trouser

please leave my trouser! What's wrong with you?

I will not leave your trouser alone

Leave my mummy alone my friend go to your room!

Common leave my daughter alone

Leave my trouser now! I will not. You will not...

My friend get out of my way

Dare, you beat me because I asked you for money for my daughter

My baby.

I love you right?

Don't worry. We'll be alright. We'll be fine.

We'll be fine. I'm not crying We'll be fine, yeah?

Don't cry, eh?

Ah!

Babe are you okay?

Talk to me now Are you okay? What was going on?

Babe!

By the time I got back,

He was on the floor, lifeless.

I didn't cry.

I just stood there and stared at him, numb.

The last thing he ate before going to bed was a meal prepared by me.

So his family accused me of killing him. And they put me in jail.

My mother sold everything she had to pursue the case

But it was not enough to fight the Hastrups

I ended up spending five years of my life in prison.

Oh, God.

I only got out about a year ago after the government granted some of us pardon.

I'm really sorry that you've been through all these.

I'm sorry.

I brought this upon myself, Mathilda

I was so envious of you that I wanted everything you had.

Especially Dare

Now see where envy has gotten me.

It's fine.

It's the past I've gotten through it, so it's fine.

No. No, it's not.

I know that no amount of I am sorry can right my wrong.

But I just pray that you find a place in your heart to forgive me.

I have forgiven you a long time ago.

I have forgiven you even before you were asking me to.

It's painful.

It was a lot for me to take and bear in that my supposed best friend betrayed me

so badly because of a man?

But it's fine.

I am sincerely sorry.

I'm healed now. I'm I'm fine

Life has dealt with me and I cannot even complain.

Karma is definitely taking its toll.

But I just hope that it will be lenient on Temi

She has nothing to do with all of this.

It won't.

So what about Temi Where was she staying when you were in prison?

She was staying with my mother.

Although she died about a year ago after I got out of prison.

I'm sorry about that.

It's fine

I had to manage her little business until my condition worsened

What condition are you talking about?

What condition are you talking about?

I...

I have HIV Matilda.

I am dying.

Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness.

I'm so sorry, Rita. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Does Temi know about this?

No, she doesn't.

I contracted it while in prison.

Life in prison was hell.

It was hell.

It was not detected early So it degenerated into stage 3 HIV.

Oh God, no.

Temi thinks it's malaria or typhoid or even worse.

But... I'm so sorry.

Definitely not HIV.

God.

I'm so sorry, Rita.

I'm sorry that you've been going through all these.

Rita, Temi cannot go through this. You really need to tell her.

I will. But not now.

I'm going to do everything that I can to help you.

You can still have your life back. It's not too late.

Thank you.

I'm happy that I found you. I promise I will help.

Please wipe your tears.

Thank you so much.

Please don't cry again.

Thank you, Matilda.

Coming.

You are 20 minutes late. But welcome in.

I'm sorry.

I left work late. I had to go freshen up and then I got stuck in traffic.

Hey. You look fresh.

Really? I thought I'll be simple. I got you a bribe for coming late.

Thank you, Allen

Thank you. Please come in

Wow. This is cozy.

Thank you.

Nice.

Thank you again for this.

Hey, it's my favorite.

Of course.

Thank you.

So, I hope your boyfriend wouldn't beat me up for being here.

You know, I can't fight. I don't like violence.

Really, Allen?

No, he won't. Besides, he's out of town.

And I told him that I will be hosting you today.

And he agreed.

Yes.

Interesting.

Really? Hmm

Well, it's my own little gesture to say thank you.

Thank you again for paying Rita's medical bills.

It's fine.

So, where did you both meet?

Well, we met in Abuja few months ago when I just moved there.

And I was staying at my friends and that night I did not want to go out.

Fortunately for me, I did. And luckily

for me, I met Peter that night.

He's a really great guy.

Hmm

What's with the Hmm

Nothing erm, how are... how are Temi and Rita?

They're really good.

Very well, thank you.

Yeah? Rita said thank you very much again. She's really grateful.

Well, I'm glad it could help. Okay.

Besides, I was thinking of putting her on

my medical insurance so that way she gets

free medication and treatment and also regular supply of her routine drugs.

Really?

Yeah.

Allen, what am I going to do to say thank you?

And why are you doing this?

Because I want to help. Okay.

Besides, I had a chitchat with Temi and I was enthralled by her.

She's so intelligent, isn't she? She is.

And a very brave girl at that.

She is.

So, what's your plan with them anyway?

Well, like I was saying, I plan to put

Temi in school, establish a business

for her mum, and also get them accommodation.

Ah

That's a lot.

I should be capable by God's grace.

I want to help.

Allen, you really don't need to. You've done enough.

Please. I insist. Okay?

Thank you. Why are we even talking about all this?

Can we just get into the meal? Absolutely.

I hope you enjoy my food.

Oh yeah. You've always been ace at that

Same taste.

Brilliant.

And I made your favourite. I've missed it... so much

I don't know how you get this sauce. It's absolutely brilliant.

It's mum's secret. Oh yeah?

Love it

I'm glad you do.

I love it.

All right.

Careful, careful.

Welcome to my home.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help.

Rita, you're welcome. It's fine.

This is lovely.

Yeah, so lovely.

All right, let me show you and your daughter to your room.

Okay, let's go.

Thank you.

Don't forget your bag, let's go.

Hello

Ha, were you sleeping?

Oh Peter

Good morning, you just woke me up with your call.

Sorry love.

I just wanted to let you know that I am on my way to your house.

Please, hope there is food?

Yes, I do.

Really, this morning?

What do you want to eat?

The usual

Swallow.

Seriously, this early morning you want to eat swallow?

It's not early All right, fine.

I'll get Temi to put water on fire, okay?

Temi? Are they in your house?

Yeah, they are. Unfortunately, their house collapsed.

Really?

But if you weren't it in the picture, they

would have sorted themselves out, right?

Well, I'm sure they would have, but I

thank God that I'm in the picture, so...

I don't mind helping.

Your house, your business.

I hope you haven't forgotten what Rita did to you in the past?

A leopard can never change its spots.

Really, Peter, is that what you're saying?

I think I've let go of the past, and like

you said, my house, it's my business.

I'll see you soon, Mr. Chop Swallow.

All right, bye.

10.30 AM.

Should have woken up since...

Oh, I'm so tired.

Can I assist you?

Oh, sure.

Okay, what can you help me with?

Uhmm you know what?

I'm sure you can help me clean these leaves.

All right.

Hope we're not disturbing you?

Oh, no, of course not. Remember I was

the one who asked you guys to come over?

Thank you, ma'am.

And your house is really beautiful.

Thank you again. That very nice.

When I get enough money, I'll study engineering,

so I can build a beautiful house just for my mom.

I think that's a very nice idea, and very thoughtful of you.

But why, engineering?

Because they make a lot of money,

and it's not some kind of job that other girls

will like to do, but I like things different.

Temi how old are you again?

I'm 14.

14? Wow.

You sound and think far beyond your age, lady.

Is that a bad thing?

Oh, no. That's a great thing, actually. Especially in today's world. Very good one.

Thank you ma.

You're welcome.

But have you ever thought of going back to school?

Yes, but there isn't enough money, so I would just focus on small jobs.

Temi, if someone is willing to pay for your school fees,

Are you willing to go back to school?

Yes, of course.

That would give me the opportunity to understand more

of what I'm going to study, which is engineering.

Good.

I really want to help my mom. She has been through a lot.

I like that. That's a very brave, thoughtful,

and bold statement for you to say.

And I have no doubt that you will succeed.

You're an intelligent lady, young lady.

Thank you, Ma. Your words mean a lot to me.

Thank you. That actually makes me feel good.

Oh, I think I hear your mom coming downstairs.

Good morning, Mom.

Good morning, dear. Hi, Matilda.

Hi, Rita.

I See you guys are busy in the kitchen.

Yes, we are. Feel free to join us.

Thank you. I sure will I hope you slept well?

Like a baby. I have never slept this peaceful in years.

Yes, your bed is really comfortable.

Well, I'm glad to help.

Thank you. So what can I do?

You can start with the washing, as well.

Oh, this is good. Thank you so much.

You are welcome.

Definitely. I need to wash my hands first.

Oh, no. I didn't wash my hands.

Don't worry. You are still going to wash those right?

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

So, I finally get to meet the gorgeous Temi who

succeeded in stealing my friend away from me.

What? No.

Yes, you have. But it's nice to meet you finally.

I've heard a lot about you.

I hope they are a good thing, sir.

Yeah, they are. Thank God.

Are you sure you still don't want to join me?

I'm okay. I'm full. Exactly.

Aunty Matilda Yes, sweetie?

Is Uncle Peter your boyfriend?

My who? What? Boyfriend.

Young lady.

That is adult talk.

Sorry, ma.

Why did you ask?

I mean, nothing, but I like Uncle Peter, but I like Uncle Allen more.

Hmm

Because he buys you gifts?

That. Plus, he gives me good advice.

Interesting.

Okay. I'll be upstairs.

Interesting.

They're both good people, though, right?

Yes. Yeah.

Can you believe this? This is our new home.

Oh, my goodness.

God... God bless Matilda

whatever she's looking for she shall find it Amen

You look so beautiful in your uniform.

Yes, mum

Yeah, you're welcome.

Hmm

What if they don't like me?

Why would you say a thing like that?

Listen, my child. You are the sweetest soul I have ever seen.

Of course they will like you.

And if they don't, it will be their loss.

All right. Don't forget that

Thank you, Mum. You trained me well.

I sure did.

Are you ok? Yeah.

You need to take your medicine now.

No, no, no. Don't worry.

You need to go, so you don't run late for school.

It's ok mum. I can skip school.

I will be fine. Trust me.

Alright?

Just go to school. I'll be fine.

Hello?

What is it?

Are you ok? Who's chasing you?

It's not...

It's not me. It's my mum. She's dying.

Oh, my God.

Please, we have to hurry.

Ok, wait. Let me get my bag and the car key.

Please, we have to hurry.

Oh, my God.

What is this? Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Please help us.

Rita, why haven't you been taking your medications?

Hmmm

Because I want to die.

I want to free Temilade so that she can live a normal life like her peers.

And not taking care of a sick mother.

But is she complaining? Is she?

Yes, I understand that it's a lot of burden taking care of a sick person,

especially of someone of Temi's age.

But I know she'd rather have you alive, even if you're in this condition,

than you being dead and gone.

Think about your daughter.

You are all that she has.

But she has you too.

She has you too. It's never the same, Rita.

It's not.

It's never the same, Rita.

You know that I love your daughter very much.

But it's not the same as that of a mother's love.

Let that be your reason of staying alive.

Always think of that before you make radical decisions, please.

It's so easy for you to say Matilda

Your life is perfect.

So you honestly won't understand what we were going through.

You won't understand.

You think my life is perfect.

I understand.

Because I don't look like what I am going through.

Because I don't have any physical damages for my problems, right?

I have had my own share of problems.

I was once married to the best man in the world for me.

We had everything.

Except for one thing.

Darling

Hey, what's wrong?

Why did you leave the room?

Babe.

Why did you leave the room?

You okay?

Allen, I want children. I want them now.

Babe, children will come, okay? I promise.

We are this close No, we're not.

We've been married for four years. I've had several failed IVFs.

I am tired. We're not close.

We are, okay? We're just going to keep on with the fertility treatment,

And maybe another IVF, okay?

I can't keep going through that trauma again. I'm tired.

No, let's just be hopeful, okay? Children will come, I promise.

When?

That's what I want to know. When are they going to come?

Because your family has been asking.

I am under pressure to give you guys kids.

When?

Ignore them, okay? Look at me. Ignore them, all right?

I don't care about that. I will love you regardless, okay?

Even without children, I'll love you.

With or without children, you will love me.

Yes.

Allen, really, without children, you will love me?

You will have children. I'm only saying that nothing will change.

I love you.

So when will I have these children?

Because I want them now.

I know. They'll come.

Okay? I promise. I promise.

I want them now. Come here. Come here.

Congratulations, doctor.

Madam is two months pregnant.

Yes.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Congrats.

Days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months.

And by the sixth month, I started to think positively.

We began to shop for baby items and discuss possible baby names.

Then the worst happened.

Babe...

Babe...

What's wrong?

Babe?

Hey

Hey

Hey, babe

Hey, baby.

Where am I? Why am I here?

Just relax, okay?

Doctor Ben, where's my baby?

Just relax, honey. Just relax. Just try and relax Ok?

Where is my baby? Umm... Madam We are so sorry

We really tried our best But um...

We lost the baby.

I'm so sorry.

Where's my baby?

It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

Where's my baby?

Honey, it's gonna be okay.

I lost my baby.

Madam, Madam, Madam,

Please, take it easy, huh?

Please.

She was only a baby.

She didn't deserve that.

I know if she had her own way, she would have very much loved to be here.

God knows that I imagined many things with me and her.

I prayed.

I prayed.

I prayed so much for this moment to come.

But not like this.

Am I cursed?

I think I'm cursed.

No, I'm sorry.

Why did I?

Why am I going through this? What did I do?

Who did I offend?

Why me?

Allen tried to convince me that he wasn't with me because of children.

I tried to believe him.

But it was tough.

It was so tough because my emotions took a toll on me.

I tried to stay.

But I couldn't.

I left and never looked back.

Matilda, you will have children.

Though it may tarry,

It will surely come

It will not delay.

And when it does come, you will receive double for your trouble.

Okay?

Just believe it. Amen.

I know that this might sound selfish because it is not the right time.

But there may never be a right time to ask.

What is it?

Please.

Can you take Temi as your own when I am gone?

Rita

How can you say that? You're not going anywhere.

It will eventually happen No.

Okay? You are not going anywhere. I don't like that kind of talk. Please.

I don't like it. Don't say things like that.

Matilda.

You are an amazing human being.

And I know that with you, Temi will always be happy and safe.

Please, do not let her father's family come close to her or take her.

Please, they do not mean well for her.

I beg you, promise me that you will be her mother when I am gone.

Please.

Can you please get the doctor for me?

Let me get you the doctor Yes, please. Just...

Mom, I'm afraid.

I can't live without you.

Please don't leave me.

My child, I am not leaving you.

I will always be with you.

But there is something you need to understand.

There are things we do not have power over.

I'm scared.

Everything will be fine, I promise.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I know it's a very difficult time for you right now.

But I want you to be a strong young girl, okay?

And I want you to know that I will always be here for you, no matter what.

You'll be fine.

You'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

Oh Temi

I don't like the way you're feeling Ok?

You need to have something to eat.

Here.

I made you your favorite.

Pasta.

And your favorite protein, chicken.

I'm not hungry.

Please. I want you to have something to eat, okay?

I'm not hungry.

You lied to me and she lied to me too.

My child.

Mum

Is it really you?

Why did you leave me all by myself?

My time was up, so I had to go.

And you're not alone, my child.

I will always watch over you.

Plus you have Matilda She genuinely cares about you.

Please stop pushing her away.

Sweetie I am so tired.

Honestly, it's like my efforts are just in vain.

She'll come around, okay? Just...

Just give her some time.

Am I being so dramatic?

Like, am I being dramatic for complaining?

No. No, of course not.

Look, as a matter of fact, you're doing the right thing.

And if you like, you can complain from now till tomorrow

You are still the most amazing woman I know.

That is why Rita entrusted her with you, okay?

It's okay to grieve for as long as you want.

But it's not okay to shut out those who genuinely care about you.

Matilda is your mother now,

and I promise to always be there with you.

You think so?

I know so.

Look, just take things easy, okay?

Everything is going to fall into place, I promise.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for giving me listening ears.

Thank you for always supporting me.

I really couldn't have done this without your support.

Thank you Allen

Come here.

I miss you, Mom.

I miss you too.

And I am glad you're in safe hands now.

Hey Temi

She was here.

Are you okay?

My mom was here. You have to believe me.

I actually do believe you.

I do.

I'm so sorry I yelled at you.

It's fine.

And I do accept your apology, okay?

You know,

I understand how you feel.

I do.

I understand how it is to lose someone that you love so dearly.

I've had my moments of grief.

Would you want to hear it?

I lost my baby girl.

I know, though, I never got to see her physically.

But I could always feel her. In my bulging stomach.

But she never made it.

I had a miscarriage.

So I do understand how it feels to lose someone that you love.

I was in pain.

I cried my eyes out.

Oh, you should have seen me.

So Temi,

I am not saying don't grieve over your mother.

I'm just telling you to give room for those who want to show

you love and care for you.

Just let them take care of you.

I'm so sorry. I didn't know.

I understand.

Don't cry

Do you want me to cry with you?

Are you sure?

You'll be fine.

You like it?

That's the spot I like.

Right. Right there.

Harder.

Harder.

Harder.

You're pregnant?

What?

You're pregnant!

How is that even possible?

We've never had sex.

Do you want to say something now?

You think so?

I know so.

Look, just take things easy, okay?

Everything's gonna fall into place. I promise.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for giving me listening ears.

And thank you for always supporting me.

I really couldn't have done this without your support.

Thank you, Allen

Come here.

Hey.

I'm sorry I can't. You belong to another.

No, I don't.

But you've been in a relationship with Peter

Allen, no one can ever take your spot in my heart.

No one.

I know you may not believe me.

But I have never slept with Peter.

I just can't bring myself to it.

I don't want him to feel like I am using him or anything.

You do mean a lot to me, Allen. Always will do.

Peter, what happened between me and Allen

It's none of my business.

I was going to say that what happened between me and Allen was

never meant to happen.

Do you still love him?

It's not about... Do you still love him?

Yes.

Thank you.

Peter, I'm sorry. Peter, I am sorry.

Look, do not tell me you're sorry because you're not.

Oh, now I get it.

This is why you always push me away every time I wanted us to be intimate, right?

Heaven knows that I tried, Peter. I tried to love you.

I really tried my best, but it wasn't working.

It just wasn't working and Allen showed up and I guess it's old flames.

I don't know... Two years!

Two years.

I sacrificed

Two years loving you and just hoping that one day that you would love me too.

But what did I get in return?

Betrayal.

No.

I didn't Matilda you used me.

I didn't

You used me

Do you know what?

I curse that they our paths crossed

Peter.

Oh God no.

Let's renew our vows.

Really, Allen?

Yeah.

How?

We're no longer married.

Technically we're not fully divorced yet.

And what about Peter?

Well, if you haven't had sex with him, I mean...

I mean, by the way, he should have gotten the idea since you're

not attracted to him.

Excuse me.

And who told you I am not?

Babe, really, you're not.

Okay, are you?

Hmm?

I need to get my bag.

Peter.

Peter, hold on.

I'll get it for you.

Okay.

Listen, now we need to talk.

Look, there is nothing to talk about.

Bro, there is nothing to talk about now.

Because you think you can just show up and reap where you did not sow?

Look who's talking about reaping what they didn't so, huh?

Okay, well where were you when she needed a shoulder to lean on?

You were nowhere to be found.

It was me who was there for her day and night, not you, me.

That was not my idea, okay?

Of course it is. There

is always an explanation. Let's hear it. What's the excuse?

No, tell me.

Has it ever occurred to you why she never had sex with you?

Look, this is not about sex, okay?

Really? What is this about then? What is

this entirely about?

Huh?

Look, I don't want to have anything to say to you.

Look, Peter, we just did...

Please, can you both not make a fuss out of this?

Please. Peter.

Peter? So now I'm making a fuss, right?

But what is even wrong with you?

Can't you see that this person doesn't mean what for you?

I mean, what responsible man takes advantage of a woman in

her most vulnerable state?

I took advantage of her?

Yes!

I took advantage of you?

Tell him

You have no idea what you're talking about, okay?

Peter here.

And he didn't take advantage of me.

Of course.

What was I expecting?

Peter?

Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

Peter. Peter. Come on, babe. Come on. Don't do this.

I just can't.

I can't have this baby.

Babe what are you talking about?

And we will, okay? I'm going to stand by whatever it takes

I am not ready to go through this trauma again.

You know what I have been through. And I am not ready for this.

Look.

No. You listen.

It's best for us to end this process

before I get some emotional attachment. So, no.

Babe, just what happened was in the past, okay?

Times have changed.

Listen, I will do whatever it is within my power to make sure

that you're going to be okay.

Please.

You know what's funny?

This sounds like a deja vu.

Yes.

Because you've said this many times before.

Many times.

Right now, I am not ready to go through this.

I am not ready.

And that's my final decision.

Allen

I can't do this.

I want out.

And that way, I can save myself from this misery.

And save you from this shame

Honey, honey, what are you talking about?

Are you giving up on us?

I can't give up on something that's already over.

Babe?

Everyone's talking.

Your family is talking.

I can't.

Listen.

Listen, honey, okay?

It's you and me, all right? Let's walk this path together, okay?

No

Let me walk my path alone.

Let me carry my burden. It's my fate.

I guess this is my life.

Look, you're just all up in your feelings, okay?

Let me go get you something to drink, okay?

I am not.

Allen

Let me go.

Fine, just get some rest.

Allen I'll be back, okay?

Allen I said, let me go.

Let me find happiness elsewhere.

I want you to find peace.

At least...

Find someone that can make you complete as a man.

Okay, just relax, all right?

I'll be back.

Let's talk about this tomorrow, okay?

I'm going to leave.

Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow, okay?

I'll get you some tea.

I am going to leave.

I am going to leave

Hey, babe.

I am sorry I had to do this.

I love you so much.

And I know you love me too.

But unfortunately, love is sometimes not enough.

Goodbye, babe.

I wish you the best of life.

No.

Tilda, no.

Has it ever occurred to you that all those miscarriages,

all those failed IVFs, those were my children too?

Did it ever occur to you the pain I went through when you left me?

Did you?

Do you know what I went through?

And now, after all these years, you're back into my life,

and you're going to walk out on me again?

We're having this baby, all right?

I don't care what you say,

because I'm not losing you again.

I'm not.

I'm not losing you again.

I don't want to lose you again.

Just... Just trust me, please. Okay?

I do.

You're an amazing man, Allen

Are you seeing it?

What is it? Is everything okay?

Yeah, the baby is fine. It's just that

it's something else.

Oh my God, what is it again?

What is it?

You are expecting a set of twin

A set of who?

Twins.

We're having twins.

Don't tell me. Wait for it.

Because it will surely come.

And when it does come, you will receive double for your trouble.

Wow.

These are really nice.

You like them?

Of course. I think so too.

The colours are very vibrant, huh?

It is.

So any name idea?

Um, I have a few. I have a few nice names.

But you can come up with something. I don't mind hearing your suggestions.

Me?

I can make suggestions?

Of course. You're part of the family, my love.

As long as you don't give me any names

like Apple, Burberry, or Blackberry,

Blueberry, Cranberry,

Snowstorm, Thunderball.

Um, I do have a few ideas.

Okay, can I hear them?

Michael.

Michael.

Michaela.

Orta.

No.

Sweetie.

I've been thinking about something.

What?

I'm thinking of adopting Temi

Really?

I thought you never wanted to adopt.

I know, but this is... It's different.

I promised her mum that I would take care of

her even after everything she'd gone through.

And it was her last wish.

And Temi is a lovely girl.

She's an angel. I really do like her.

Hmm?

Yeah.

It's like you're not taking me serious.

I am. I am. I mean, yeah.

Okay. I have thought about it, and I'm very convinced in my spirit that this young

girl brings me good luck.

Think about it this way.

We've been married for four years.

In between those years, I've had several miscarriages.

I have gone through several IVFs.

Hmm

We've had our ups and downs.

And I thought I wasn't going to come back to you.

And then, of course, I met this angel of mine.

And through Temi,

I met you again.

That's how we rekindled our love through the whole process.

If this young girl never came to my life,

I don't know if I would have...

I don't know if this love would have happened again.

That's true.

So, I believe she's my good luck charm Allen

I would like to adopt her.

Look, whatever you want, I'll support you, okay?

Whatever you need, I got your back. I mean, I really do like Temi anyway.

Thank you.

Of course.

I appreciate you for understanding.

Of course.

I was thinking that maybe we could, you

know, we can do our vows, renew our vows before the babies come.

I think that's a good idea, too.

No way. You still have them.

Oh, I kept them. Maybe they had them on

me. I was hoping I could find you and convince you to come back.

I didn't know what to do with them. I just couldn't throw it away.

Okay.

Oh Allen...

Barrister Matilda Allen Johnson. This ring is a symbol of my

everlasting love for you.

And it will be an honor to see you wear it again.

I would love to wear them for the rest of my life again.

Oh, Allen

But wait. Can I make one request?

Sure.

Okay. I would like for us to retain my apartment till the babies come out.

And then we'll figure out what next to do. Because I believe this

place brings me good luck.

Please?

I have no objections.

Allen

You came.

Of course I did. I told you I was going to come.

How's it going?

Okay. Wow.

So colorful.

Hello.

Hi, Matilda.

You came.

Thank you so much for coming.

Hi, big man.

Hi.

Just got the stuff.

Oh, wow. Nice.

Put this in the covers.

Thank you for coming.

What? Why are you smiling like that?

Pregnancy looks good on you.

Thank you for the compliment, Peter.

So how's the little man doing?

Little man. More like the little man, the

little woman, the little man again.

Wait. You're having twins?

No way.

Yes way.

Wow. Initially on the scan it showed two but

God is merciful. Very merciful.

That's amazing.

Yes, it is.

Okay. Congratulations again.

Thank you, Peter. And I must say thank

you so much for coming through for Temi

She's so happy and I am so grateful. Thank you.

I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world, but that's not the

only reason why I'm here.

Really?

Yeah.

What else is the reason?

I also wanted to use this opportunity to see you one last time

before I leave the country.

Wow. You leaving Nigeria.

Yeah.

Wow. Well, firstly, I must say congratulations on the job.

Secondly, I know you're going to do really well on this.

Thirdly, Peter, you are a great man and I wish you the very best on your journey.

And I pray that love,

happiness and peace will find you.

Thank you.

You're a great guy, Peter.

Hey, one more hug. Come on.

Of course.

Thank you for everything you've done, Peter. God bless you.

Thank you.

Give me that laugh.

It looks interesting. Is Professor Michael still there?

Yeah, I think so. The last time I was...

Oh.

Okay.

I would like to make a toast.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, young lady. It's your day.

Mom. Can I call you that?

Of course you can.

On this special day, I want you to know

how much you mean to me.

You both may not be my biological parents, but the love

you've shown me is immeasurable.

You've shown me that blood is the least of what makes a family.

And I'm really grateful for that.

Thank you so much for such beautiful words Temi.

And can I add something to

that before we toast officially?

Sure.

And this goes out to you,

especially my dearest Temi

I must say thank you, because I bless the day our paths crossed.

Ever since you came into my life, it's been good news,

and it's been happy everything.

I think it's safe for me to call you my good luck charm.

Oh Temi

I just want to use this moment to say happy birthday to you, my big girl.

Thank you, and I love you.

Thank you, Mom.

Thank you for calling me that special word "Mom."

And I have to let you know, I guess it's time to tell you the good news.

You don't have to call me "Mom" alone,

but you can also call Dr. Allen, "Dad," because we have officially gotten the

permission to adopt you as our daughter.

Oh, wow.

So...

Okay.

So, I would like to say welcome to the

family Temilade Allen Johnson

Congratulations, you guys.

Let's toast to that.

To Temi To Temi

Happy birthday, baby girl.

I love you.

This is a big family, like you're expecting.

You're better already, and there's one.

Wow. You guys.

I don't know how the economy

is going, so I don't know that.

I wish you a all the best.

I enjoyed the once movie of Peter No, thank you.
