1 Who will save the day?

Scene 1: Disorientated World

One dark night at the city of Beliz, a city that got destroyed by an atomic bomb. Smell of burnt ashes all around, from the City's gate past Roin river. Out of all thousands building one building survived, through all odds one person survived and that was Zeyn. Zeyn looked around with despair in his eyes, everything was destroyed all his friends and family died he was the only one standing at the center of a once gigantic city. Like that small light approached, from afar it was small but as it got closer and closer it became a human being. Zeyn got confused and disorientated, wondering where the creature came from

Akira to Zeyn, " Long live the king of my world, long live!"

Drrr Drrrrr an alarm clock rang.

Zeyn: (Traumatized) A Dream! Again?

Zeyn got concerned for it was not the first time having such awkward dreams. Now let me introduce you to Zeyn. Zeyn is 7ft tall, with fair skin, black left eye and his right eye turns red sometime, pffshhh you're the only one who knows people around him know nothing at all, all they know is that tall Zeyn with dark intimidating black eyes. He has short grey hair and a masculine body mind you he never hits the gym. He barely talks to people a mere Hello from him is a lot for he is always surrounded by bodyguards and he has 3 personal assistants. That must tell you how hard it is for a stranger to have a personal conversation with him.

Zeyn looking at the time on his wrist.

Zeyn: 8am! I think of going back to sleep. What's my schedule! Ahh have to call Daine. No let me just go to work. It gets boring sometimes, repetitive life is boring!

Scene 2: Lady in Black.

While Zeyn's world is filled with milk and honey the other world past the road is filled with hunger and penury. Hope is lost and they live each day as it comes. One day at a time they say. Layla is a 23-year lady fresh from college, she majors in journalism and has not been that lucky in finding employment. You know what they say, post:" journalist with 10 years' experience" that's how they advertise their positions. Today Layla woke up filled with hope, unlike other days today she had energy to visit the world in the other road to seek opportunities. Well, she had no idea where she was going, at this point she was looking for any job, as a cleaner a clerk or a junior journalist. She's not that privileged to choose work.

Just like that she wore a formal mini black dress, black stilettos topped with black lip stick. After 1 hour she found herself at Zeyn production company.

Clerk: Young lady, have you made an appointment?

Layla: No, but i beg to see the manager please.

Clerk: He is not in yet but even if he was around i bet you would not have seen him without making an appointment, mind you he fixes his meetings with his assistants so either way you could have talked with one of his assistants and they could have passed on the message.

Layla was not disappointed at all for she has been in this situation many times she turned around and faced the exit door, like that one of her worn out stilettos pencil broke and phhff she found herself eating the cold tile!

Zeyn rushing to her!

Zeyn: Are you fine?

Layla: (Embarrassed) Uhmm, I, I am fine. I just i have to leave this place right noww.

Like that Layla stood up took his broken shoe and ran to the door. Zeyn ordered the guards to stop her.

Layla: Leave me, i took nothing i just wanted to

Zeyn approached.

Zeyn: What brought you here?

Layba: I, I am looking for employment. I have my CV and...

Zeyn: (Serious) Cut... follow me.

All the eyes were fixed on them even the cleaners left their duties for the scene... Layla nervously followed Zeyn. She found herself in a closed 4 wall office, the office was fit for a king it was huge and furnitured with gold.

Layla : (Admiring) Such beauty.

Zeyn : (Confused) What?

Layla : Ohh I meant the office is twice bigger than my house.

Zeyn steered deep into her eyes, concerned about Layla's tendency of bluffing.

Zeyn : Can i have your CV?

Layla gave in her CV and Zeyn was not impressed at all. With his left thumb he pressurely brushed his chin..

Zeyn : 50% Average pass rate?

Layla: I had to deal with a lot as a student I had about 5 peace jobs!

Zeyn : I only employ the best of the best and sorry I....

Just like that pain strike Zeyn's back... As he tried to manage his posture he couldn't, and a miracle happened. His right eye turned red... Layla was scared and she stood and headed to the door.

Layla: (Scared) Who are youu?

Zeyn: I... please don't open the door..

Zeyn tried hard to focus on maintaining himself and after a few seconds the eye went back to normal.

Zeyn : please sit down.

Zeyn said it with a cold tone as if nothing major took place. Layla went back to the chair, but comfort had left the room.

Layla : (Nervous) As i was saying i had to deal with..

Zeyn : You are employed as my personal assistant come to work tomorrow, ohh and please wear something lively next time I wouldn't cope with that dress code.

Layla was excited, for a lapse of time she forgot what happened a minute ago, with smile she thanked Zeyn and went back home. Of all the unfortunate days it seems like today she had bagged the deal. For the first time she was soo proud of herself. After leaving the room got cold...

Zeyn : What have I done? That girl is grumpy, disorientated and all that. I had to... I have to put her next to me for she knows a lot as a stranger. My eye never turned red in the office it only does when I'm stressed or alone in my room! What if this happens again what will become of me?

Zeyn was so nervous he knew he had to make investigations about his eye, but he did not know where to start. One last thing he wanted was being a puppet for the lab. Yeah, you know what they do, they take you run endless tests for their own interest. At this stage science was the last option. Zeyn decided to cancel all his schedule and call it a day.

Daine: Sir you had to meet with the executive of the coal production and...

Zeyn : Daine it's fine please cancel everything for today or get Quinton to attend the meetings on my behalf.

Daine : Ohk Sir, do you need help with anything?

Zeyn : No I have to go, will discuss this tomorrow morning.

Scene 3: One more dream.

Zeyn got home, untied his tie and laid on the couch, he had a long morning and wanted to rest for today.

As he was taking a nap.

Akira : You met your destruction, I knew this day will come. You have to come back home for you don't belonggg hereee.

In to thin air Akira disappeared.

Zeyn : Was, was I dreaming again? I heard voices that was not a dream. Arggg Am I running Mad?

The past days have been tough on Zeyn, just as he tries hard to keep the secret it gets worse with time. Today someone knew about his eye, tomorrow who will?
