ACT 4

Scene 4

A street in Lagos mainland
(Uyai’s apartment at green gate)

{Entered Uyai and Ubong}

{Uyai, standing amazed as she enters her house}








UYAI

Oh my God. How did you get in here?





UBONG

It’s my house too remember?





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

Ok. (she cleans him up) you always pay attention to me and still care despite all you’ve suffered from me. Hmm, Uyai. I’m sorry for all I’ve put you through.





UYAI

(Feeling her heart racing)





UBONG

I shouldn’t have left the way I did. I’m the reason we lost our baby. Please, forgive me (staring at his wife in admiration, unable to place the thought running through his head). You don’t deserve the way I treat you. I’m not man enough to be called your husband. You are beautiful, loving, caring and patient. I lo……………





UYAI

(In tears) those are the best words I’ve heard in years. It wasn’t your fault. Please tell me, how did you get this injury?





UBONG

I refused to gamble for BOSS today. Automatically he lost. He didn’t care if I was emotionally broken. All he cares about is his money. The money I owe him, i……..





UYAI

(Widening her eyes) you owe the BOSS?






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.)
