Zeniya Harper

Elijha Harper

Zeniya Harper

Elijha Harper

Zeniya Harper

Elijha Harper

Zeniya Harper

Elijha Harper

Elijha Harper

Zeniya Harper
( can't say a thing as he has a very persistent personality)
After a while at the dining table
Elijha Harper

Elijha Harper

Elijha Harper
YOU bullying someone ?
Elijha Harper

Elijha Harper
(places his arms on the table and leans forward )
Zeniya Harper
(feeling uneasy )
Elijha Harper

Elijha Harper
hmm ( acting as he is thinking ) (leaning backwards)
Elijha Harper
You've got a boyfriend!! (declared)
Zeniya Harper
(choked) wh what ?
Elijha Harper
A boyfriend… That's why you are coming like a sneaky rat
Zeniya Harper
(baffled) I don't have any and why ....
Elijha Harper
(cuts her off) yeah yeah I know, who would be in his right mind to be in a relationship with you (teasing)
Elijha Harper
so the question remains where were you ?( serious tone)
Elijha Harper
so you aren't now?
Zeniya Harper
I am .... (lowered voice)
Elijha Harper
(stares at her )
Zeniya Harper
I I was at the cafè
Zeniya Harper
Really and I didn't notice the time
Elijha Harper
(bursts out laughing)... you really are still naive like the last time we have met
Zeniya Harper
i am not naive (murmured)
Zeniya Harper
(bows her head looking at the soup )
Elijha Harper
(that is something I know too )(thinking)
Elijha Harper
(exhale) Well I am going to sleep. Good night
on the second floor in Elijha's room
Elijha Harper
so wanna tell me where she was ?❄❄
Elijha Harper
Cafe you say huh
Elijha Harper
..... (glare)
David
(avoids eye contact)
Elijha Harper
DAVID ......❄❄
David
Sir ( looking down )
Elijha Harper
look at me while talking..❄❄
David
(tells him everything)
Elijha Harper
Curses .. Why didn't you stay with her .. David I asked of you for one thing only
Elijha Harper
(sigh) I asked of you a single favor in all my life, and it was to protect her and not let her in such situations
David
wrong you asked me 2 favors in this life of yours 😒
David
one was with that crush of yours if you jog your memory a little 🙄
Elijha Harper
Ha .. this guy 💢... you won't just be at peace unless you correct me
David
Nope 🙃 cuz my contract does not say that I should be respectful or not correcting you when you are in error especially in case of your memory 😁
Elijha Harper
Don't forget I am your employer
David
and don't forget I am your sweet Friend before your employee 😒
David
now tell me DEAR FRIEND what's going on? (sits on the sofa besides him)
Elijha Harper
(sighs) care for a drink ?
David
Sure would love to ... but I am on duty right now, so I would like to refuse
Elijha Harper
okay (takes the glass away and offers the cigarette) you can have this right ?
David
Sure (takes it ) So...what brought you here at this time ?
Elijha Harper
(exhales smoke) nothing just some work stuff
Elijha Harper
(sees his expressions) no need to worry everything's fine
David could not get the expression on Elijha's face and was worried as to what could be the reason for his early return
Adele
you really surprised me by your arrival dear , you should have told me about your arrival
Elijha Harper
if I had told you then what was the point of surprise ? hmm
Adele
did you meet her yet ?
Adele
and didn't bother to meet me ?
Elijha Harper
Well for you it was a surprise right
Zeniya Harper
Granny good morning ( came there in a rush )
Adele
Good morning to you to honey pie
Zeniya Harper
(sees the table and took the toast from Elijah's plate, sip from Adele's cup )
Adele
slow down … Sit properly and eat school is not going anywhere
Zeniya Harper
No I am getting late so see ya (takes another sip from Elijah's cup and leaves)
Elijha Harper
(see's zeniya's fleeting image and then at his grandma )
Adele
(feeling his stare)oh don't worry it's her normal routine always being late and having breakfast in a rush like that
Adele
(sees his empty plate realizes zeniya has taken his toast) I am sorry for her behavior… Have some more
Elijha Harper
it's okay Grandma … Just a question what does she do in the morning that she gets late ?
Adele
she goes for a walk .. but this always keep me on edge
Adele
She was given to me by your father to take care of her and if something happens to her I don't know what will I say
Elijha Harper
you don't have to say anything … besides it isn't your responsibility to take care and protect her
Elijha Harper
What I mean is clear it was and is dad's responsibility to provide, protect and take care of her not just leave her as an orphan
Adele
Elijha !! Why are you saying such words? Neither you nor zeniya are orphans got it and your father is just busy with work that's all but he loves both of you the same
Elijha Harper
You think so ? Cuz I don't see it that way
Elijha Harper
alright alright (hands up in Surrender) I don't want to ruin your breakfast, so I am going to leave
Adele
wait , you did not even touch a thing
Elijha Harper
(already left )
Adele
what could have happened this time? (murmured)
Aaron Lane
(comes out of his room and directly goes towards the door without looking anywhere )
Joseph Lane
( sees him leaving) Aaron wait, come here
Aaron Lane
(stops and comes to the dining table )
Joseph Lane

Aaron Lane
I am not hungry, and I am getting late, so I should go (low voice )
Joseph Lane
I said SIT down and have breakfast ❄
Aaron Lane
(sits down and starts eating food )
Elyeen and Ellios come and sit
Ellios

Aaron Lane

Ellios

Elyeen

Elyeen

Elyeen

Joseph Lane
(him sensing her gaze) 🥲
Zeniya Harper
(sitting and having lunch when suddenly saw Aaron )
Aaron Lane
( just entered and saw her and stood still)
Felix
dude let's go I am starving
Felix
hey can you hear me ??
Aaron Lane
yeah I can (broke the eye contact )
during the whole meal both have stolen glances at each other, but the reason for this wasn't romantic rather something else
Felix
hey I have noticed you are continuously looking at that girl (points at zeeniya) what's the deal?
Felix
hmm 😏you interested in her
Aaron Lane
yes . I mean no I just want to know who is she ?
Felix

Aaron Lane

Felix

Aaron Lane
zeniya ?? I think I have heard her name before
Felix
you competed with her last year in easy writing and lost
Aaron Lane

Aaron Lane
wow ... so why is she out of my league ?
Felix
Because yours and hers vibe won't match
Aaron Lane
(sees she is coming towards him) I think she is coming this way
Zeniya Harper
(stops in front of them )
Zeniya Harper
your locket (points to Aaron's locket) it's cool
Zeniya Harper

Aaron Lane
...(processing what she said )
Zeniya Harper
??(waiting for a response )
Aaron Lane
it's a .. its umm.. ( can't find the words)
Zeniya Harper
(nods)( leaves)
Felix
did she talk to you ?
Felix
I think she is interested in you
Aaron Lane
cut the crap... she was just interested in the locket
Felix
Yeah I could see that, and you were chicken out 😂
After school Zeniya is waiting at the school gate for her car to arrive as she couldn't ride her bike
Hart
Hey, how are you doing ?
Zeniya Harper
what are you doing here ?
Zeniya Harper
I clearly told you not to meet me at school
Zeniya Harper
(eye roll) so what is it ?
Hart
I just wanted to confirm if you are coming or not ?
Zeniya Harper
I think I told you that I will be coming .. do you not trust my words ?
Hart
I do its just that none of my people are coming
Hart
High chances of cops on the site
Zeniya Harper
but it's a club why would cops go there
Hart
because minors are going that's why
Zeniya Harper
that will flop our plan
Hart
so what should we do?
Zeniya Harper
(bits her lower lip)
Zeniya Harper
let's just the 2 of us meet .. besides we have to meet the dealer , collect evidence and hand him over to police
Zeniya Harper
we have to ... its our only chance
Hart
(sighs) you know I am doing this only because of you and Skylar
