The bridegroom - Season 1 - Episode 38

MR AMBROSE:???? hello, Judith. I’m five minutes away from your house. If you could please wait for me atthegate so I don’t have to drive in.

JUDITH: please come in and have a cup of coffee before we go. I beg of you.

MR AMBROSE: I had one atthehotel before leaving. Sorry, I would come in some other day.

I need to go back to Abuja this morning. My mum called to say that Tatiana has been unwell and having nightmares….
(When Ambrose gotthethegate, Judith was already waiting, so she got intothecar andthey madetheir way tothehospital where Chioma passed away)

MR AMBROSE: sorry, I couldn’t come in. I’ll do next time

JUDITH: sir, I nearly did not recognise You! I understand what you are going through but you really have lost weight drastically!

MR AMBROSE: (smiles) I wish I lost weight and not Chioma.There’s never a night that she isn’t in my dreams beingthenormal her with me. And when I wake up and realise it was all a dream, reality disgusts me!

If not forthese poor kids she left behind, I would have donetheneedful and bring it all to a halt!

JUDITH: Please don’t even think it. Every time I’ve seen her in my dreams, she looks absolutely beautiful and happy.

MR AMBROSE: has she said anything to you in your dreams?

JUDITH: not really but each time I’ve seen her, she had a letter in her hand.Thelast time I saw her which was two nights ago, she told me she was going tothepost office to post a letter.

I asked after her baby, she said you were looking after him.

MR AMBROSE: hmmmm! Must betheletter we are getting todaythen. Gosh! Can’t believe my wife can only be seen in dreams now! (Starts crying???)

JUDITH: please sir, take it easy and stay strong for your kids. How istheboy doing?

MR AMBROSE: doing very well. Such a strong little man full of smiles like Chioma
(They finally got tothehospital and asked to seethedoctor who hastheletters.Thereceptionist askedthem to take a seat while she contacts him. After about seven minutes,thedoctor came tothereception)

DOCTOR: I kept looking at you fromthecorridor and doubting it was You! What’s going on sir! You look a mess!

MR AMBROSE: good morning, doctor.

DOCTOR: I’m worried about you, sir. Are you eating and sleeping at all?

MR AMBROSE: sometimes…

DOCTOR: that is not good enough! You must look after yourself, sir. You really must! Aside getting really badly depressed, you may come down with anorexia if you carry on like this. You really don’t want that to happen.

MR AMBROSE: I’m doing my best. I’ll be fine. Well I hope.

JUDITH: good morning, doctor

DOCTOR: morning, Judy. Hope you are looking after yourself?

JUDITH: I’m doing my best, doctor

DOCTOR: perfect! Ermm, tothebusiness oftheday. I have to strictly stick totherules of this very wish. We don’t and shouldn’t joke with someone’s death wish.

Mr Ambrose, your late wife instructed I readtheletters to you and Chioma differently.They are two different letters anyway. So if you could please come with me. Judith, it will be your turn after him. Alright, guys?

MR AMBROSE: sure!
