Calm down.
You’re [music] ready for this.
This interview could change everything.
If the bus comes on time, I’ll make it.
Get out of here, you old Giza.
Stop wasting my time.
Do I look like a fool to you?
You can’t pay, so get lost.
Please, I lost my wallet.
My grandson will bring me some money soon.
Lies.
Do you think I haven’t seen your type?
Wretched old man.
Because you are old.
You think I should just believe you?
Get out of here, you old man.
I don’t have time for beggars like you.
Why is everyone just watching?
Maybe he truly has [music] no money.
Then why did he come to buy fruit?
Look at yourself.
You’re all slow and useless.
You shouldn’t even be out here wasting people’s time.
No wonder your family doesn’t bother taking care of you.
The interview can wait.
I cannot ignore this.
You old fool.
That’s enough.
You shouldn’t speak to an elderly man like that.
Mind your own business, girl.
It is my business.
He just needs a little help, and you’re treating him like a thief.
He should not be humiliated over a small bag of fruit.
Here, I’ll buy the fruit for him.
Take it and leave.
Here, Grandpa.
Thank you, my dear.
You are so kind.
It’s nothing really.
No, it’s not nothing.
People don’t stop to help each other like this anymore.
My name is Grandpa Namdi.
My name [music] is Immani.
If only my grandson could meet a girl like you.
Why do you say that?
Because he needs someone with a kind heart.
This is only enough for a private cab or my lunch for the week.
But I cannot leave someone’s grandfather standing here alone.
Take this, Grandpa.
Use it to take a taxi home.
Oh, my dear.
No.
I can see you don’t have much.
You shouldn’t spend your money on me.
It’s fine.
Really, I’ll just walk to the next bus stop and catch another bus.
I am rushing for an interview.
If not, I would have personally taken you home.
But don’t worry about me.
If I leave now, I won’t be late.
Please.
Take him home safely.
[music] She really is different from most people.
Are you sure you won’t be late waiting for another bus?
I promise, Grandpa.
Besides, if I get too rich and successful, I might forget the little people, so being a little late isn’t such a bad thing.
Immani, you are a rare kind of woman.
A man would be very lucky to have you.
Oh, no, Grandpa.
Don’t tell me you’re trying to set me up with your grandson again.
Well, maybe I am.
I think I’ll pass for now.
I barely have time for myself.
At least give me your number.
If I ever need help, I know you’ll be there.
Of course, Grandpa.
Call me anytime.
Bye, Grandpa.
Go safely, my dear.
Is that car here [music] for the old man?
It cannot be.
That is Obin Azi, the CEO of Ez Group, one of the richest men in the city.
Grandpa, how many times have I told you not to go out alone without the guards?
Oh, Bina, I was [music] just taking a little walk.
I needed some air in this place with all the risks.
What if something happened to you?
Well, I am fine.
I didn’t even realize when my wallet got snatched.
What?
You were out here all alone without money?
Don’t get angry, my boy.
A kind lady stepped in and helped me.
Who?
A kind-hearted young woman.
She was rushing for an interview, but still took the time to help me.
She even used her last money to get me a cab after she paid for my fruits.
Why would she give away her last money to a stranger?
You should meet her, Obina.
She would make a good wife for you.
Not this again, Grandpa.
Yes, this again.
I told you I will only marry Chica.
Obina Chiko Kono has been missing for 15 years.
Your Kono family has tried everything to find her.
My boy, I know how much you loved Chica.
But what if she’s not coming back?
What if fate has something else in store for you?
You have searched for years and every clue leads to a dead end.
I haven’t given up my search.
I will find Chica.
I made a promise, Grandpa.
She saved your life.
She was my very close friend when we were young.
She is the only woman I will marry.
Well, at least take this.
Fine.
I’ll keep it for now.
[music] Another contract, another demand, another person telling me how to live.
Obina, I am speaking to you not only as a board member, but as your uncle.
You’re one of the most powerful CEOs in this city.
But do you know what people see?
A businessman?
No.
They see a young man without a stable family life.
Investors like stability.
They want to know the company will be secure in the future.
They want me to marry.
This is the same conversation again.
Marry Obina.
It will strengthen your reputation, stabilize the company’s image, and assure our investors that EZ Group has a long, strong future.
Grandpa raised me after my parents died.
He has always been my rock.
He is the only real family I have left.
I would do anything for him.
Meet Immani.
She is a stranger.
Grandpa barely knows her.
I will marry when I’m ready and only the woman I choose.
You may not like what we are saying, but think about the future.
Obina, the meeting is over, but the pressure is still here.
I missed it.
My one [music] chance at a better job is gone.
That was my chance to get a better job.
My chance to escape the struggles at home.
I want to cry, but crying will not change anything.
I missed the interview because I stopped to help him.
But I do not regret it.
I’ll find something else.
I always do.
I should be going home to people who will comfort me.
So why does going back frighten me?
Whatever happens, I must stay calm.
Where have you been?
Did you bring money?
Mom, I told you I had an interview today.
I didn’t get the job.
So, you spent the whole day doing nothing and you didn’t bring anything home?
What kind of daughter are you?
You can’t even support your own family.
I’m trying, Mom.
I really am.
But you don’t even work.
And Chima just wastes money gambling.
Watch your mouth, Immani.
No, you watch your life, Chima.
You don’t work.
You just sit around and gamble while mom defends you.
Do you even care that we can barely afford to eat?
You ungrateful girl.
Do you know how much your brother is suffering?
Do you know how much debt he’s in?
That’s not my fault.
I shouldn’t have to fix Chima’s mistakes.
Well, you can.
I’ve already found a way.
What do you mean, Mr.
Ok?
That old man that always looks at me like I am something he wants to own.
He owns a few houses and a small supermarket.
He is not extremely rich, but he has enough money to settle Chima’s gambling debts.
No.
No.
Yes.
He’s willing to pay a very generous amount to marry you.
Enough to clear all of Chima’s gambling debt.
You’re selling me.
I’m saving this family.
You’re not saving anyone.
You’re just letting Chima ruin himself while I pay the price.
[music] [singing] Enough.
You’re doing this, Imani.
Whether you like it or not, Imani, come back here.
Just keep moving.
Don’t let them see you break.
My cheek hurts.
But that is not the worst part.
No matter how hard I work or how much I sacrifice, it is never enough for them.
Goazi, she is our daughter.
You will not speak to her that way.
After dad died, everything changed.
Immani don’t forget the electricity bill and I need money before evening.
I became the housekeeper, the provider and the only person keeping the family alive.
Chima and I are almost the same age.
Why am I the only one expected to [music] carry this family?
After everything I gave them, all I received were insults, demands, and now betrayal.
Hello, Immani.
My dear, it’s Grandpa Nambdi.
Grandpa, hope you got home safe.
Yes, my dear.
I wanted to check on you.
I hope I’m not calling too late.
No, it’s [music] fine.
Grandpa, come and see me, Manny.
I’ll send you my address right now.
Yes, dear.
If it is not inconvenient.
You’re doing this, Imani.
Whether [music] you like it or not, I’ll be there.
This cannot be right.
This is one of the richest areas in the city.
This cannot be [music] Grandpa Na dress.
Grandpa looked so simple at the market.
How could he [music] live here?
Are you sure this is the right place?
Yes, madam.
This is the Ezate.
[music] That’s the address you gave me, miss.
Looks like someone you know is really rich.
Good evening, Mr.
Mani.
[music] Sir Nami is waiting for you.
They already know my name.
I do not belong [music] in a place like this.
Imani, my dear, you’re here.
Grandpa, this is your house.
Yes, dear.
I live here with my grandson.
Who exactly is his grandson?
Come inside.
I have never entered a house this [music] grand in my entire life.
I I don’t know what to say.
It’s just a house, dear.
[music] What matters is the people inside.
You said you live here with your grandson.
Yes, but he isn’t home from work yet.
This is my favorite spot.
It’s quiet and peaceful.
For the first time tonight, I can breathe.
How did your interview go?
I missed it.
Oh dear, I’m so sorry.
Which company was it?
Ez Group.
I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
You never know, my dear.
Sometimes fate works in mysterious ways.
Why don’t you stay the night?
What?
No, I It’s already late.
I stay.
It’s just for one night.
I’ll have a guest room prepared.
I don’t want to go back to that house tonight.
Okay, I’ll stay.
Good.
[music] Everything you need is here, Miss Immani.
Thank you for one night.
No one can shout at me, hit me, or force me into anything.
[music] [music] [singing] Yeah.
But our eyes see when I enter your life.
[music] Grandpa still awake?
This bed is so soft.
Grandpa Nambdi’s mansion.
I stayed here last night.
I slept through the whole night.
I cannot remember the last time I slept this peacefully.
Come in.
Good morning, Missi.
Sami asks that you join him for breakfast in the dining hall.
It is only breakfast.
There is nothing to be nervous about.
I still cannot believe Grandpa Namdi lives here.
Obina Ezi, he is Grandpa Nambdi’s grandson.
The CEO of my dream company.
Immani, come sit, dear.
Stay calm.
He’s only a man.
Even if he is Obina.
Obina, this is Immani.
The kind young woman I told you about.
I remember.
It’s nice to finally meet you.
Obinad Immi needs a job.
Grandpa, she missed her interview at your company because she was helping me.
You should give her a job.
Grandpa, really?
You don’t have to.
What are your qualifications?
I have a degree in business administration.
I also have experience in marketing and project management.
Impressive.
She can start tomorrow.
Just like that.
Thank you.
I’ll have the HR department prepare your contract.
After everything that happened, I suddenly have a new job at EZ Group of all places.
Welcome [music] to EZ Group, Miss Immani.
Thank you.
It’s my first day.
You’ll be working with us as a marketing assistant.
I’m ready to learn and prove myself.
This campaign has been struggling for 2 weeks.
Study the reports and tell me what we are missing.
I’ll go through everything.
The product is not the problem.
They are speaking to the wrong audience.
This should reach the people who actually need the product.
You found the problem on your first day.
I only followed what the customers were saying.
These results are much better than our earlier projection.
Immani’s changes made the difference.
Good morning, sir.
Continue.
The new target group responded better.
Engagement increased within 3 days.
Are the figures verified?
Yes, sir.
Send the final reports to my office before noon.
Yes sir.
He rarely speaks to me unless it concerns work.
He does not mix personal matters with business.
That is fine with me.
[singing] [music] Immani dear, I have an idea.
What is it?
You should marry Obina.
What?
[laughter] I think you two would make a wonderful couple.
Grandpa, I we barely know each other.
Obina doesn’t even I’m not asking you to fall in love overnight.
I’m asking you to help each other.
What do you mean?
Tell me about your parents, Imani.
They passed away when I was younger.
Forgive [music] me, Grandpa.
I cannot tell you about Mama Goi and Chima.
I’m sorry to hear that.
So, you live alone?
Yes, I do.
[music] I refuse to let Mama and Chima extort this family the way they have extorted me.
Obina already looks at me as if he does not trust me.
I will not give him a reason to believe he was right.
I see.
That must be tough.
I manage.
Well, I still think you and Obina should get married.
This marriage could protect me.
And even if it is not love, there is something about Obina that makes my heart race.
I’ll do it.
Obina, I believe you and Imani should get married.
Marry her?
No way.
You know, Chica is the one for me.
Obina, be reasonable.
This will give Immani a family and help you.
It doesn’t have to be real, and the board would stop pressuring me.
Investors would trust the company more.
This could buy me time until I find Chica.
I have conditions.
No one can know.
Not at work, not in public, not even to my friends.
Why?
This marriage is temporary.
When I find Chica, I will annolate it and marry her.
My boy, you won’t regret this.
I know you’ll take care of him.
And I know you’ll take care of you, too, even if he doesn’t realize it yet.
I’ll do my best.
Prepare everything for the registry.
We’ll get it done immediately.
Yes, sir.
He speaks as if he is signing another contract.
It should not hurt.
I knew this was not love.
He has made it clear that this is only an arrangement.
Still, a small part of me wishes it could become something real.
[music] [music] Sign here, Mr.
Ezie.
I knew what this was.
So why [music] does watching him sign so easily hurt?
Your signature, Mrs.
Ezie.
Congratulations, Mr.
And Mrs.
Ezie.
[applause] Welcome to the family, my dear.
For now, I have done what everyone expects.
When I find Chica, this marriage will end.
Immani, now that both of you are married, you should move your things to Aina’s penthouse.
At least exchange the rings properly.
[singing] I saw the [music] pain behind your pride.
The lonely man you try to hide.
It is beautiful, but it doesn’t mean anything.
At least not to him.
[music] [singing] Your room is down the hall.
We’ll live under the same roof, but that’s all this is.
Got it.
I am not [music] attracted to him.
That is what I will keep telling myself.
This may not be home, but for the first time in my life, I have a place of my own.
At least I am safe.
Madam, the car is ready.
Thank you.
But I’ll just take a taxi.
[music] Your coffee, ma.
[music] Even though I sleep in Obina’s penthouse, [music] I will keep paying my own expenses.
I do not want to owe him anything.
As your best friend, I have to admit.
As your best friend, I have to admit the new marketing assistant is making everyone else look lazy.
She is an employee.
Acca, keep it professional.
Not even his best friend knows I am Mrs.
Ezie.
Immani, you’re not leaving.
I need to finish this report first.
I expected her to demand money, privileges, and [music] luxury.
She has not asked for anything.
She has never even mentioned our marriage.
She behaves as if the marriage means nothing to her.
That is exactly what I wanted.
So why does it bother me?
Oh.
Oh, you’re back.
You’re still working.
Yes, I had some reports to finish.
My love was breaking through.
I thought [singing] the road [music] was cold.
I thought I walked alone.
[singing] Then you stood beside me.
This marriage may not be romantic, but it protects me.
Mama and that old man, Mr.
Oki, cannot claim me now.
Good work, Imani.
This is clear and practical.
Thank you.
I’ll finish the final figures before lunch.
Hello, Imani.
Chima.
Imani, it’s me.
I need your help.
What do [music] you want?
I’m in deep trouble.
How much?
It is always the same.
You gamble, lose, and call me to save you.
I owe 2 million.
2 million?
Chima, how did you I took a loan.
I messed up.
Okay.
These guys, they’re dangerous.
Immani, if I don’t pay, they’ll kill me.
It is always like this.
Chima gamles, he loses.
He begs for money.
Mom defends him.
I am done cleaning up his messes.
I don’t have that kind of money.
What do you mean?
You live in a mansion now.
You’re married to a very rich man.
How do you know that?
Mom found out after you refused to pick up any of our calls.
We just knew you had selfishly found a luxurious life for only yourself.
I’m not giving you any money.
I do not owe you and mom anything.
Mom has always found a way to ruin every good thing in my life.
I will not let her destroy this one.
Then don’t blame me for what happens next.
Chima, what is he planning?
What does he mean by what happens next?
Immani, my daughter, can we talk?
[music] I’ll come.
Look again.
Look behind the smile.
[music] Look behind the smile.
Come in, dear.
Let’s have dinner together.
What is that smell?
What did you do?
Every word can hide.
She wears kindness like a costume.
She’s awake.
Mr.
O’Kee, finally.
I’ve waited a long time for this, Imani.
You have no right.
Oh, but I do.
Your mother sold you to me.
She wouldn’t.
Oh, she would.
And she did.
I paid your brother’s debt.
You belong to me now.
You won’t get away with this.
I am married.
Let me go.
[laughter] And who’s going to stop me?
Your faith husband.
You dare touch my wife.
I I paid for her.
She’s not property.
You can’t do this.
Watch me.
She is a person.
She’s not for sale.
Are you okay?
He knows I lied [music] to him.
I told him I was an orphan.
Now he knows my mother is a greedy monster and Chima is a parasite.
He will tell me he wants nothing to do with me.
Did they hurt you?
No, you came [music] just in time.
They won’t touch you again.
I made sure of that.
He’s not angry.
He does not blame me.
[music] He only wants to protect me.
I have fallen completely in love with him.
[music and singing] to show.
I don’t [music and singing] need your silver.
I don’t need your gold.
Just hold me when the night’s cold.
She is not for [music and singing] you.
How are you feeling?
I’m better.
My wrists still hurt a little, but I’m fine.
Use it on your wrists.
Thank you.
Have you eaten?
Not yet.
Please prepare dinner for Immani.
[music] Maybe he is beginning to feel something for me.
Maybe he is falling in love, too.
The Okono family is hosting a charity gala tonight.
Their daughter disappeared years ago, but our families remain close.
They expect me to represent as a group tonight.
Come with me.
To the gala.
Yes.
I don’t think I should go.
People may start asking why I came with you and you said no one should know about us.
I also have reports to finish tonight.
All right, I’ll go alone.
I hope the event goes well.
[music and singing] Don’t stay awake too [music] late.
Good night.
I know forever.
Obina, welcome.
Your family has stood beside ours for many years.
We are glad you came.
I wouldn’t miss an important night for your family.
We are pleased to introduce Miss Chica Okonqua.
[music] She cry without passing.
My daughter, she lived without knowing the family she had lost.
She was raised in an orphanage until recent evidence finally led her home.
A DNA test has confirmed that she is truly the missing daughter of the Okono family.
Our daughter has finally come home.
We thank everyone who stood with our family and never stopped helping us search for her.
After all these years, I searched everywhere.
Every clue led to a dead end.
[music] How is she standing here?
Could it really be her?
Chica Obby only Chica used to call me that.
[music] Where have you been all these years?
I grew up in an orphanage.
I didn’t know who I was.
Most of my memories are broken.
I remember faces sometimes, but everything disappears again.
You don’t remember me?
There will be time for all the questions later.
Tonight [music] we celebrate that our daughter is home.
Mr.
Ez, please look this way.
The longlost daughter of the influential Okonquo family has finally returned home.
Chica Okono reportedly grew up in an orphanage before DNA testing confirmed her identity.
After almost 20 years, they finally found her.
Our daughter is home and we welcome her back into every part of our family and our lives.
Obina spent his whole life searching for her.
Now she is back.
That means our marriage is over.
[snorts] I searched for her everywhere.
Every clue became another dead end.
Yet, she returned without warning.
I need to be sure.
A name and a public announcement are not proof enough.
I need to see what she remembers.
I would like to come and see Chica privately.
Of course, you are family, Obina.
Come whenever you are ready.
Look well.
The smile [music] fits sweet, but the heart fit bitter.
You came.
I needed to see you again.
This was taken before you disappeared.
You kept following me that entire afternoon because you wanted the toy in my hand.
I’m sorry, Obi.
I don’t remember much.
It’s been so long.
He spent years waiting for her.
Now he is ready to start over with her.
As long as Chica is back, that is all that matters to him.
I don’t stand a chance.
It doesn’t matter.
He never loved me anyway.
I was always just part of an arrangement.
Public interest continues to grow around the reunion between Chica Okono and her childhood companion Obina [music] Ez.
You still make that serious face when you’re thinking too much.
He spends more and more time away from home now.
[music] Rest.
We can talk again tomorrow.
I was a fool.
I thought his kindness meant he was beginning to love me.
I was only a temporary replacement until Chica returned.
I can’t believe you’re really here.
I missed you so much.
I thought we would never find you.
I’m so glad your parents never gave up.
I always knew you’d never give up on me, Obi.
[music] He missed her.
He waited for her.
Those feelings were never meant for me.
Obina was never mine.
This marriage only existed until the woman he truly wanted returned.
I have [music] to leave.
I cannot remain here and watch him fall deeper in love with Chica while I stand beside them pretending not to break.
[music] [singing] Immi dear, come in.
What’s wrong, dear?
Grandpa, I’ve decided to leave.
Leave.
I I love Oina, but love can’t be forced.
I know he doesn’t feel the same way.
Imani, dear, don’t rush this decision.
Obina is complicated.
He’s blinded by his past.
No, Grandpa.
He’s not blinded.
He’s just in love and it’s not with me.
I want him to be happy and I can’t stand in his way.
Loving him also means knowing when to let him go.
I understand.
Grandpa has already given me more kindness than I could ever repay.
Take this.
It will help you start over.
No, Grandpa.
I want to stand on my own two feet.
You’re an incredible woman, Imani.
Obina is a fool for letting you go.
Take care of yourself, Grandpa.
Maybe love not a person.
We stand beside you [music] with care.
Now you my heart know even when my eyes no you [music] my soul choose even when I fear to show.
I don’t need your silver.
I don’t need your gold.
[music] Just hold me when the night’s cold.
No let my hand [singing] go you my heart.
Now you my heart’s I know I ask you for promise but I promise to stay [music] forever but I know I [singing] walk away tomorrow.
[music] [singing] It isn’t glamorous but it is mine.
[music] I am not Mrs.
Ezy anymore.
[singing] I am just Imani.
Once these papers are served, the legal process will begin.
Please proceed.
The office is small, but good work is respected here.
That is all I need.
Starting over is possible.
Erasing him from my heart is not.
[laughter] Chica is back.
I should be happy.
I said Jasmine, you idiot.
Are you deaf?
That is enough.
You may go.
Why are you defending [music] her?
She never listens.
She made a mistake.
That does not give you the right to humiliate her.
You don’t know what I’ve had to tolerate since I returned.
Did you buy all of this today?
Of course.
I lost 15 years of my life.
I have a lot to [music] make up for.
When you are ready, we can begin introducing you to the family business and [music] the foundation.
Can we do this another time?
I have a terrible headache and I already booked an appointment.
Chica, you have postponed [music] this five times.
She has no interest in work, no interest in the foundation, no interest in anything except money and attention.
Why do I still feel drawn to her?
Is it because she is truly Chica or because I have loved the memory for 15 years?
Something is wrong.
I will verify this test [music] myself.
The more I investigate, the less this story [music] makes sense.
I need the complete original file for this DNA test.
Every sample record, signature, and laboratory entry.
I’ll check the archive.
This sample number belongs to a different file.
And where is the original collection form?
Dr.
Ugo personally removed the file.
That is not normal procedure.
Where is he now?
Find every connection between this doctor and the woman claiming to be Chica Conquo.
How far back should I go?
As far as necessary.
They met privately four times before the test was completed.
She knew the doctor before the hospital claimed to identify her.
She paid him 3 days before the result was uploaded.
The recovered messages are even clearer.
She asked him to create a positive match.
Tell me the truth now or I send everything to the medical council and the police.
She approached me before the test.
We became involved.
She paid me to replace the sample and create a positive result.
I forged it.
The new test is conclusive.
She is not their daughter.
Tomorrow, the Okonors learned the truth.
She stole their daughter’s identity and used their grief to enter their lives.
Look again.
Look behind the smile.
Look behind the smile.
Obina, darling, you should have called before coming over.
I need to speak with you.
What’s wrong?
This test was a lie.
What do you mean?
She isn’t your daughter.
That’s impossible.
The DNA test was forged.
I went to the hospital myself.
I spoke to the staff and I had a private investigation done.
Remember the doctor you used to forge the fake result?
He confessed, fearing he might lose his license.
Of course, he’s wrong.
Why would I fake something like that?
Because you wanted the Okonqua name.
You wanted their wealth.
Chica, tell me this isn’t true.
[crying] We lost our daughter once and now we’ve lost her again.
No.
Enough.
Leave this house.
Please let me explain.
[music] There is nothing left to explain.
And secrets rise forever hide.
Behind [music and singing] the smile, behind the lies.
The truth is open.
[music] I was not in love with the woman who returned.
I was in love with the little girl I remembered.
Immani was real.
She cared for me when I gave her nothing.
And I was too blind to see her.
Too blind to admit what I felt.
You kept your heart behind.
[music] I was such a fool.
Chica was exposed.
The lie is over.
But Imani is gone and nothing feels settled.
Sir, I [music] found something.
Something you need to see.
A blood donation record.
Look at the donor’s name.
Immani [music] was the girl who saved Grandpa.
The donation was made on the same night Chica disappeared.
At the hospital closest to the accident, the young donor was the unidentified girl brought in after the accident.
She had lost most of her memories.
Immani saved Grandpa.
She was the mystery girl.
For all along.
Immi is Chika Conqu.
She was the [music] woman I searched for all my life.
She stood beside me, loved me, and I pushed her away.
I have to find her.
I cannot lose her again.
Hello, Mr.
Ezie.
If you want your wife back, you’d better send [music] 50 million to this account, and I will tell you who took her.
But if you do not send the money, then don’t worry.
When we’re done with her, you won’t want her anymore.
[laughter] Trace that call.
I only have a partial location.
Then find the rest.
Mobilize security and contact the police.
My daughter, please come.
I want to apologize properly.
I’m here.
Where are you?
I should never have trusted her again.
Where am I?
Miss Chica, you really are a nuisance.
What do you want?
Oh, sweetheart.
It’s not about what I want.
It’s about what Obina doesn’t get.
[music] Gentlemen, enjoy her all you want.
After tonight, Obina will never want you again.
I can’t have you running back into his arms.
Obina is mine.
And if I can’t have him, then you won’t either.
Well, well, Mom, you’re selling me out to a stranger.
Stranger.
Oh, Imani, didn’t your mother ever tell you the truth?
Mom, Chica offered me a good deal.
You’re not even my real daughter.
What?
What?
That cannot be true.
I found you 15 years ago.
You had been in an accident and had [music] lost your memories.
You didn’t even remember your name or your parents’ names when you woke up.
You called me mom.
My husband and I were kind-hearted, so we took you in.
Dad loved me.
At least that part was real.
Chima is my only child.
[music] That is why I was never enough.
So you never loved me.
You were never mine to love.
No wonder you sold me to an old man the first chance you got.
Now I understand why all my sacrifices were never enough.
Get your hands off my wife.
Oh, take her away.
You are not her mother.
You lost the right to call yourself that the moment you sold her out.
Take her too.
Oena, please.
Obina, please don’t let them take me.
Immani, tell them to release me.
I [screaming] raised you.
Immani, I’m here.
Easy.
I’ve got you.
I’m so sorry.
Money.
Needed me.
I saw the [music and singing] pain behind your pride.
The lonely man.
I knew your hands were holding.
[music] The results are complete.
The result confirms a biological parent and child relationship between you and Mr.
And Mrs.
Okonqua.
It’s true.
You are [music] Chica Okonqua.
I am not the abandoned burden mamangi said I was.
Chika chika emanqua.
I don’t remember them.
[music] You don’t have to remember everything today.
They have waited 15 years just to know that you are alive.
Are you ready to see them?
I’m scared.
But yes, somewhere inside [music] that house are the people who never stopped looking for me.
It had already chosen you.
I spent my life chasing yesterday.
Immani, is it really you?
My baby.
[laughter] I thought I lost you forever.
You’re home.
You’re finally home.
Oh, God.
We thank you.
[snorts] Come inside, my child.
That’s me.
Yes.
That was taken a few months before we lost you.
You were always smiling and you were never afraid of anything.
You and Obina were almost impossible to separate.
She was beside me again and I still fail to recognize her.
I’m sorry.
I still don’t remember any of this.
You have nothing to apologize for.
We will not force you to remember.
We will create new memories together.
You look beautiful.
I still feel like Imani.
That is exactly who you should be.
Tonight, the world will welcome our daughter home.
You are also the rightful ays of Star Group.
But you will decide what that means for your future.
Please welcome home the true ays of the Okono family.
She is still Immani, the woman I love.
[music] Tonight we welcome our daughter back into our family and into the life that was stolen from her.
Chika Immani Okono is the rightful ays of star group.
Thank you for welcoming me home.
I may be Chica Okono by birth, but I grew up as Imani.
That is still the woman I know how to be.
For Conquo.
I once promised myself that I would marry Chica, that I would love her forever.
But what I didn’t realize back then was that Chica wasn’t just a name.
I don’t love you because you’re Chica Oqua.
I love you because you are Mani.
The woman who stood by me when I was blind.
The woman who helped my grandfather when she had nothing to gain.
The woman who loved me even when I didn’t deserve it.
The woman who taught me what it really means to love.
I don’t want to hide anymore.
I don’t want to pretend.
I don’t want a contract marriage.
I [music] want you.
Only you.
And I want the whole world to know.
Obina, what are you doing?
Will you marry me again, Immani?
But this time for real.
Say yes, my dear.
This time he finally understands.
Yes.
[music] For the first time, there is no contract between us, only love.
[music] My daughter deserves every happiness.
Take care of her.
I will.
Now this is the marriage I prayed for.
Thank you for finding me.
[music] Grandpa, you found us first.
My dear, everyone together, please look this way.
Surrounded by love, I am truly home.
May I have this dance?
You may.
I should have seen you.
You see me now.
I love you, [music] Imani.
I love you, too.
[music] Two hearts meant for each other will always find their way back.
No matter how long they are separated, I had been found not [music] only as Chika Okona, but as Immi, and that was the woman Obina had truly been searching for.
