SCENE 1: SHAYLA MEETS PIARRY

Location: A quiet café. Shayla waits for Piarry with a secret plan. When Piarry arrives, Shayla greets her with a knowing smile.

Shayla, you said you wanted to talk to me about something important. What is going on? You sounded serious on the phone.

I do have something important to discuss. But first, let me ask you a question. You used to be in love with Anthony, didn’t you?

Piarry looks surprised. She never expected Shayla to bring up her old feelings for Anthony.

Why are you asking me that now? That was a long time ago. What does my past with Anthony have to do with anything?

Everything! Amber and Anthony are divorced now. You don’t have to worry about their marriage standing in your way anymore. Maybe this is your chance to get Anthony’s attention.

Even if Amber is out of the picture, Anthony is still with D’Nisha. I know how much she means to him.

Then you need to make him notice you. You are beautiful and confident. If you can get close to him, perhaps he will begin to see you differently.

What if he rejects me? What if D’Nisha finds out?

You will never know unless you try. Visit him, talk to him, and see what happens. The rest is up to you.

Piarry falls silent. Shayla’s words awaken feelings she thought she had buried. Shayla hides a satisfied smile, believing her plan is finally moving forward.

SCENE 2: PIARRY MAKES HER DECISION

Location: Piarry’s home. Later that day, she stands in front of her mirror, thinking about everything Shayla told her.

Why am I even considering this? Anthony has his own life, and I should respect that.

She walks away from the mirror but stops when Shayla’s words return to her mind. She picks up her phone and looks at Anthony’s contact before finally deciding to visit him.

I’ll just see him and find out whether there is still a connection between us. I’m not going to force him to do anything.

Piarry gets ready and leaves her home, unaware that her visit could create serious trouble for everyone involved.

SCENE 3: PIARRY ARRIVES AT ANTHONY’S HOUSE

Anthony is spending time with D’Nisha when the doorbell rings. He walks to the door and is surprised to find Piarry waiting outside.

Piarry? Hey! What brings you here?

Is that how you’re going to greet me? I thought you would be a little happier to see me.

I’m happy to see you. I just wasn’t expecting you today. Come inside.

Piarry enters and begins talking about old memories. D’Nisha approaches them from the living room.

Hi, Piarry. It’s good to see you. I hope everything is going well.

Everything is fine, thank you. It’s been a while since we all had a chance to catch up.

D’Nisha briefly leaves the room to get something. Piarry watches her go and remembers Shayla’s advice. She believes she has an opportunity to get closer to Anthony.

SCENE 4: PIARRY STARTS FLIRTING

Anthony sits on the couch. Piarry takes the seat beside him and deliberately moves closer than necessary.

Anthony, do you ever think about the past? About the people who were there for you before your life became so complicated?

Sometimes, but I believe we have to focus on where we are now.

We used to be close. Sometimes I wonder whether things might have been different if we had made different choices.

We have known each other for a long time, but that doesn’t mean we should keep wondering about what could have happened.

Maybe you’re just afraid to admit what you feel.

No, Piarry. I’m being honest with you. I care about the people in my life, and I don’t want you to misunderstand my kindness.

Piarry moves closer despite his warning. Anthony shifts away, beginning to feel uncomfortable with her behavior.

SCENE 5: ANTHONY STOPS PIARRY

Piarry suddenly leans toward Anthony and tries to kiss him. Anthony immediately raises his hand between them and firmly pushes her back, creating distance.

Piarry! What are you doing?

I thought maybe you felt something too. I thought we could have a moment together.

No! You cannot just do this. You need to understand that I’m not interested in having that kind of relationship with you.

But you and Amber are divorced now. Why can’t you give me a chance?

My divorce from Amber doesn’t mean I’m available to everyone. My relationship with D’Nisha is important to me, and I won’t betray her because my past has changed.

Piarry looks down, embarrassed. Anthony remains firm, making it clear that he will not accept her advances.

Please respect my boundaries. I don’t want you trying to kiss me again. I welcomed you here as a friend.

I understand. I wasn’t trying to hurt you.

SCENE 6: D’NISHA DISCOVERS THE TRUTH

Just as Piarry begins to speak again, D’Nisha returns. She notices the tension and immediately senses that something is wrong.

What’s going on here? Why does everyone suddenly look uncomfortable?

Baby, I’m glad you’re back. Something happened while you were gone, and I need to tell you about it.

What happened?

Piarry tried to kiss me, and I stopped her immediately.

D’Nisha’s eyes widen. She turns toward Piarry, struggling to believe what she has just heard.

You tried to kiss Anthony in his own house while you knew I was here?

It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. I thought there might still be feelings between us.

There aren’t, Piarry. I’ve already made that clear.

Anthony is not a prize you can take just because his marriage to Amber has ended. He has his own choices, and he has made his feelings clear.

D’Nisha asks Piarry to leave. Piarry apologizes, but the damage has already been done.

I think it’s best if you go, Piarry. I don’t want any more confusion between us.

I’m sorry, Anthony. I’m sorry, D’Nisha.

Piarry leaves the house. Anthony turns toward D’Nisha, hoping to reassure her that nothing has changed between them.

SCENE 7: SHAYLA’S SECRET PLAN

Outside, Piarry takes out her phone and calls Shayla. Her voice is filled with frustration.

Well? Did you see Anthony? Did you get a chance to talk to him?

Your plan didn’t work. Anthony rejected me, and D’Nisha found out what happened.

What do you mean she found out? I thought you would be more careful!

You were the one who encouraged me to go there. If D’Nisha discovers you were behind this, what do you think she’ll do?

Shayla falls silent. Her attempt to interfere in Anthony’s relationship may have exposed her own involvement.

Meanwhile, inside the house, D’Nisha holds Anthony’s hand. Although she appreciates his honesty, she cannot stop wondering whether someone else is trying to destroy their relationship.

I believe you stopped her, Anthony. But I want to know why Shayla would encourage someone to interfere in our relationship.

What does Shayla have to do with this?

I don’t know yet. But something tells me Piarry didn’t come here with this idea all by herself.

Anthony looks confused as D’Nisha turns toward the closed door. She knows Piarry’s visit might be only the beginning of a much bigger plan. Will she discover Shayla’s role before another attempt is made to separate her from Anthony?
