The bridegroom - Season 1 - Episode 22

MADAM NKECHI: What are you doing in my house, Ambrose? Have you come to arrest me too?

MR AMBROSE: mama please, hear me out
MADAM NKECHI: Ambrose, you loved me so much and then hurt me so much! A part of me loves you and the other part hates you.
It’s hard to explain it to you but I will be glad if you stop showing me your face!

MR AMBROSE: Mama, please! It’s not even about me. It’s about the kids. Tatiana took Ill last night and wouldn’t stop asking for her mum. We had a terrible night and that’s the reason I am here this early.

Could I please speak with Chioma, please mama. I need to.

MADAM NKECHI: I don’t know where she is, my dear. Take the kids to the hospital if they are ill. Chioma is not a doctor!

MR AMBROSE: Mama, please help me! I’m going insane. My life is gradually falling apart. My business is hanging on the edge! I admit i acted stupidly by sending her away without confirming. I want us to do a DNA test to end all these and carry on with our lives!

MADAM NKECHI: It’s amazing how people think they can hurt you as much as they want and when they feel like it, they come back, say sorry and bingo! Everything automatically falls back into place!

Life does not work that way! Pain changes people and the change could mean they learn to live happily without you. Sorry is not always enough, my dear.

Chioma is an adult and she has picked herself up and moved on. I don’t know where she is!
And my daughter is not doing any NTA test!
You want to take her to television and expose her to the whole world!

MR AMBROSE: no Mama! DNA test will prove if the child she is carrying is mine or not. Not NTA please Mama! I can’t survive for too long like this. My blood pressure sky rocketed yesterday I had to rush to see my doctor. Please, mama treat me like a son?

MADAM NKECHI: Ambrose, you didn’t treat me like a mother. Did you! You arrested my daughter and she spent a night in cell! A woman who was 7 months pregnant!

Chioma had only two p@anties while she was here with me. I watched her checked and waited for one undergarment to dry so she could go out!

My daughter was reduced to the lowest point in in life! Oh! Ambrose!

I do not want to curse you! Please leave my house!

MR AMBROSE: Mama, curse me. I have no where else to go. My mother treats me with so much disdain. My father has completely stopped talking to me. My children will hate me when they grow up. Please don’t send me away like this, mama. I’m only asking you to help me find her. I know she will forgive me when she sees me???

MADAM NKECHI: and that is why you treated her that way!!! Because you know she can’t even hurt a fly? bless her, my daughter will never do such a thing to anybody not to talk of you!

But alas, the one we will take a bullet for, is usually the one behind the trigger!
Chioma is no longer in this country.

MR AMBROSE: Mama!?

MADAM NKECHI: Yes, she has gone to London to have her baby. You know her visa is still valid from the last time she travelled.

MR AMBROSE: Mama!?

MADAM NKECHI: Ambrose
MR AMBROSE: can…can I have her London contact. I’ll be in London latest tomorrow evening

MADAM NKECHI: I do not have her contact
MR AMBROSE: Mama???? I’ll see you later!
(Jumps into the car, and start calling his personal assistant ????)

Hello, Seyi…can you hear me?…good! Book me the next available flight to Heathrow airport immediately. Do not negotiate the price….the very next available flight….thank you. I’ll be waiting. Bye!


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

CHIOMA: I just couldn’t sleep last night. Thoughts of Ambrose filled my head. I hope he is alright.

JUDITH: he is fine. Relax and allow God to reinstall his brains

CHIOMA: when I was coming back from the hospital yesterday, I saw a nursery just across the road. So I went in there to make enquiries and I was told are looking to employ more staff. And the lady asked me to submit my CV via email. I did and she has invited me for an interview on Monday

JUDITH: you must be kidding, right? You want to start working? What for? I am definitely not letting you work being 8 months pregnant. Chy, if the money I give you is not enough, there’s nothing stopping you from asking for more! Why go searching for a job!
CHIOMA: no babes, it’s just a way to get rid of boredom. It’s gets really lonely and boring in this big house when you leave. Since its across the road and starts at 10am, I don’t think it will be onerous at all
JUDITH: I’m really not happy about it.
CHIOMA: come on now! The pay is good as well! 50 grand!

JUDITH: 50 thousand? You are worth more than that! Come on! You studied abroad! Them dey mad to offer you 50 thousand!
CHIOMA: let me just do it. When I have my baby, I can always look for a job
JUDITH:?
