KEN in his OFFICE busy smoking and drinking as he paints an ART WORK before his MOTHER storms in.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
So, ken, you’re here, deliberately avoiding my calls?
KEN
Mum, please calm down, please sit down.
MRS. FIBEISIMA
I will not! I demand an explanation now! Why you didn’t show up for the dinner?
KEN
Mum, I will explain but please come and sit down first.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
My friend, will you put off that nonsense?
KEN
Sure mum.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Gracious Christ! The smell is disgusting! Why have you decided to kill yourself?
KEN
I don’t understand, mum.

MRS. FIBERISIMA
Don’t tell me that you don’t know that the cigarette you’re smoking is damaging your health.
KEN
Mum, I thought you’re here to find out why I didn’t honour your invitation to dinner and not to talk about my habit.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
I pity you ken, truly I do. I just wonder why you’ve decided to toe the path of destruction despite the fact that your father and I brought you up in the godly way. God knows we’ve done our duties as your parents. So, as usual tell me lies why you didn’t show up and embarrassed that poor girl?
KEN
Mum, honestly speaking, it wasn’t intentional, I had an impromptu business obligation to meet up with that very day, I didn’t even remember to switch on my phones that day please I’m deeply sorry about that.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
I’m used to your cheap lies so I’m not really bothered, I’m only concerned about your life style.
KEN
Don’t worry, mum; I’ll make it up to you some other time. So, what do I offer you?
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Nothing, just make sure you apologize to Ngozi for your attitude.
KEN
I’ll try.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
You’ll try? Ken, if I were you, I’ll make sure I do my possible best to marry that girl; she’s indeed a wife material.
KEN
That’s what you think but she’s too spiritual for my liking.
MRS. FIBERISIMA
Ken, any life that is not divinely and spiritually ordered is a wasteful one, you need that girl to help, mould your life so that you won’t end up in hell.
KEN
Mum! Mum are you leaving?
…She storms out.
