The bridegroom - Season 1 - Episode 17

MR ADRAIN: guess what, Charlotte?
CHARLOTTE: what?
MR ADRIAN: our flight has been cancelled. Sugar!


CHARLOTTE: oh No! And I told my husband that I am coming back today! Oh No!
MR ADRIAN: just ring him and tell him what’s on ground. It’s not your fault
CHARLOTTE: but we’ve already checked out of the hotel. What do we do now!
MR ADRIAN: I’m sure there’ll be some hotels around. I’ll look around on the internet and get us a room.
CHARLOTTE: so you enjoy being with me and you were pretending initially.
MR ADRIAN: see, I don’t beg women for sex. Well, I did that when I was a lot younger. I’m too old to beg for sex. If it happens, it happens!



CHARLOTTE: why is that?
MR ADRIAN: because then, there wouldn’t be any of those he used me bullshit women spread around.
CHARLOTTE: I see!
MR ADRIAN: that said, you are really great in bed. If I had wanted to get married again, your bedroom skills would have got me popping the question. But I’m done with marriage.
CHARLOTTE: but you are still enjoying the dividends of marriage.

MR ADRIAN: because I’ve got the money.
CHARLOTTE: excuse You! Your money? Did you pay anyone here for sex?
MR ADRIAN: I may not have specifically called it money for sex. But bringing you here, and every other expenses I’ve made on You, may well be the cost of getting inbetween your legs

CHARLOTTE : you are so disrespectful!
MR ADRIAN: you are right. I have no respect for women. I do not owe them any. I only owe women money!
CHARLOTTE: do you think you are being really rude now?

MR ADRIAN: would you rather I lie to You? After my ex wife was caught having sex with a minor, I lost every ounce of respect I have for women. Anyways, I found another hotel nearby. One more night of adult fun with You, Gorgeous!

CHARLOTTE: don’t be silly!
MR ADRIAN: you know you like it! Let’s face it, you first asked for it. This is something you have been desiring for so long. So don’t pretend!

**********************************************

CHIOMA: mama! You’ve been very gloomy since you came back from the market. I asked you earlier but you said you were just tired. And here you are crying!
If my being here upsets you that much, then I will look for somewhere else to go!
MADAM NKECHI: ? it’s not You, my daughter. The rent for my shop is long overdue. The landlord gave me just two days to pay up or vacate the shop.


The only money I have on me is the one i have kept for your ante-natal and the one i wanted to buy you some maternity gowns with. I hate that you still wear these clothes and struggle to get them out.

CHIOMA: don’t let that bother you, mama. I am going to my husband’s house to get my clothes . For my ante-natal, I’ll ask Kate to lend me some money. I’m sure she will. So pay your shop rent.
(Chioma got to her husband’s house, knocked on the gate and Patrick opened the gate. Once he saw her, he quickly stepped outside the compound and shut the gate behind him…)

PATRICK: madam o! Hie! Madam. See as you don slim finish eh! I no like am o!
CHIOMA: please open the gate for me, I’m really tired.

PATRICK: hieeee madam! Oga hold my ear pull am very well, tell me say make i no allow you enter him compound again. Say him go kill me if you enter here. Wetin I go do naw o!???
CHIOMA: it’s okay, Patrick. I’ll wait here while you go inside and tell him that I am here to see him

PATRICK: madam you sure say you no go enter abi?

CHIOMA: Patrick, I won’t lie to you.
(Patrick went inside and called Mr Ambrose. After a short while he came out, opened the gate but stood right in the middle in a manner that suggests that he does not want to allow Chioma access to the compound)

MR AMBROSE: why are you here?
CHIOMA: good morning, Ambrose
MR AMBROSE: good morning. I am doing well and so are the kids. What else brought you here? To show me your stupid bump?
CHIOMA: Ambrose, I am 7 months gone and I can no longer fit into my clothes
MR AMBROSE: that has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the father of the thing you are carrying!

CHIOMA: Ambrose, stop speaking of my child in that manner!.



MR AMBROSE: yes, madam. State your mission, I need to cook for my kids!

CHIOMA: I’m here to ask if you could let me take my clothes and fabrics so I can make new clothes

MR AMBROSE: you have no shame at all!
CHIOMA: yes, I have none! My mother cannot afford to buy me clothes! She is already taking care of the hospital bills!???


I have no shame, Ambrose! Just let me have my clothes that’s all I’m asking for!
MR AMBROSE: you are not stepping your shameless feet Into my compound!
CHIOMA: that’s fine. Go get them for me then. I’ll wait outside?


MR AMBROSE: maybe it’s time to go to the man who got you pregnant, and ask him to step up!

Get out of my house! (Bangs the gate against her)
(Mr Ambrose went back to his room and Chioma stood there for a while and then started walking down to the junction. Patrick waited for Mr Ambrose to go inside his room, then he quickly ran after Chioma)
PATRICK: madam! Madam wait!

CHIOMA: ?is everything okay, Patrick?
PATRICK: madam, abeg take this ten thousand naira take buy big clothes you hear! I give you my number too so that any time you want money make you call me. Make I run back before oga go catch me!?️?️?️?️
