Selina 3

Reuben finds Sekina in the yard where she is washing clothes and asks her not to leave him. She says they come from different worlds, pointing to how his sister treated her, and walks away. Reuben confronts his sister Nora, who admits she tried to protect him, and he warns her not to hurt Sekina again. Sekina, now living in poverty with her friend Angel, struggles to find work. At a job interview, an employer makes inappropriate advances, and she walks out in disgust. Reuben sends her a gift, but she refuses it. Angel suggests asking Reuben for money, but Sekina refuses out of pride, and when Angel decides to return to sex work, Sekina physically stops her and forces her inside. Sekina confronts Johnny, Angel's ex, and blames him for Angel's regression. Angel earns 35,000 naira from a cooking job, and Sekina carries sand and is robbed of her earnings. With 10,000 naira from Johnny, the two women scrape together the fee to enter a cooking competition. Sekina enters the competition and wins the grand prize of one million naira. Nora comes to see her, apologizes for her earlier cruelty, and reveals that Reuben secretly set up the entire competition. He knew Sekina would not accept charity from him and wanted her to have the money for her restaurant. Sekina thanks Reuben but insists everyone has moved on. Angel presses Sekina to reconsider, and Sekina admits she still loves Reuben but cannot overlook the insult from his sister. At a surprise birthday party for Reuben, Sekina appears, and the two share a warm embrace and a kiss. Reuben arranges a dramatic reconciliation. A man drives Sekina to a wooden pier, where Reuben waits on a boat. Reuben tells her she is everything he could want in a woman, and he asks her to spend the rest of his life with her.
