(Act IV Scene 4)
(Elijah
enters to inquire of what reason Mary hissed at him and his neighbour and he meets her fuming with
anger)
Elijah:
(shouts) Mary! What on earth does
that suppose to mean?
Mary:
are you asking me that? So you have joined the gossip band, ugh?
Elijah:
(confused) what are you insinuating?
Mary:
what about me are you discussing with Mustapha?
Elijah: (shakes his head pitifully) may God
have mercy on you! We were only discussing the thief who attempted to burgle
the big hostel at water bus stop.
Mary:
but I heard him mention Nep… (Swallows
the remaining words)
Elijah:
(filled with suspicion) and what
about that? Wait, Neptune? What did you go to do at Neptune?
Mary:
(defiantly) can’t I go there to have
a meal or is there…
Elijah:
spare me the lie pal! Who do you take me for? A fool? Your account was a
shallow grave yesterday, wasn’t it? What are you hiding, ugh? Tell me (moving towards her) what is it you are
hiding? (He shouts)
Mary:
(really worked up) and who are you to
question me and put to me the path to go?
Elijah:
your brother who is battle ready to avert the Lucifer’s mission in crushing
your life and set you aright from turning to a bitch!
Mary:
(goes wild) me bitch? Elijah una
father! This is really the limit. I can’t take this shit anymore!
(She
begins to park her loads. Mama alakara-the bean cake seller while passing by
hears their shouts and enters. Spotlights fade as she step in)
(Curtain falls)
