This story tells about a girl named Uyai who was force to marry at...
A street in Lagos mainland (Uyai’s apartment at green gate)
{Entered Uyai and Ubong}

UYAI
Oh my God. How did you get in here?
UBONG

UYAI
I’m sorry my husband. But (gasping).What happened to you? You are seriously injured.
UBONG
Don’t pay attention to it. It’s only a scratch.
UYAI
(Kneeling besides Ubong) My husband, you are really bleeding (Goes In to get a clean cloth and water in a bowl)
UBONG
It’s fine
UYAI
(returning almost immediately) Please let me clean you up
UBONG

UBONG
Yes, but I’ve paid part (he said hurriedly) I’ll pay the rest
UYAI
Not again
UBONG
You shouldn’t worry about it (using his left palm to raise Uyai’s face to him) you hate me I know but…
UYAI
I don’t hate you, I can’t hate. You are my…….
UBONG
(interrupting Uyai with a soft kiss. The kind she has never received from him before. After which he made her feel like a woman. A real woman.)
