Living with the Peters

It was time for breakfast that morning, the entire family were all at a place so the had there breakfast together. It's been a while this happened. Zeh has been away for a really long time. Zarah was also there with them, she was always welcome anyways. There Dad, Mr. Peters sat at the middle of the table. The seat was always reserved for him as the head of the family. Mrs Rita, there mother was late. The family looked lovely eating together. Mr Peters phone rang and he took the call. "Alright" that was all he said.

"I have a meeting to attend at the office, it's very important." He said as he sipped his tea. Then cleaned his mouth with nice scented wipes. "You guys should carry on, enjoy your meal." He said as he stood up and left. "Bye, enjoy your day" they all chorused as they watched him leave with his bodyguard.

"Miss Banni, if I may ask, what are you doing here?" Zarah questioned.

"I don't understand you." Banni replied flatly.

"Really? Are you a wife? Or a daughter? Do you not have any atom of shame left?" Zarah asked.

"Lady B told me Dad wanted me to join."

"Lady B told me Dad wanted me to join." Zarah mimicked. "You wanted us to notice you live here, well we have, now you can go back upstairs." She said. Banni looked at her speechless. "Are you that shameless dear pregnant bitch, it's okay to get pregnant out of wed-luck but it's not okay to disrespect the lady he's getting married to." Zarah said with a straight face. Banni found herself crying. She always shows her emotions like this, she immediately ran out of the dinning room.

Zarah started laughing and Kalz joined her. "That was funny, why is she crying?" Kalz said laughing.

"That's how they are, they only want you to feel guilty or get emotional that's why girls cry. I know that." Zarah explained as she laughed too. Zeh only kept calm and observed. He wasn't the type to talk or get into discussions easily. Zarah and Kalz continued laughing, it irritated him so he got up and left.

Banni stayed outside crying as she sat on the swing. "Are you still crying?" A voice came from behind, she turned around to see who. It was Zeh, he walked to her front. "Don't tell me you are a cry baby?" He said laughing.

"I'm not in for jokes now." She replied

"Same here, I don't even know how to crack jokes."

"Then please leave"

"I'll, of course." He said. "But next time, do not cry in front of any one who doesn't like you, you'll only make them feel victorious." He said then turned to leave.

"Yes, I know she doesn't, but it couldn't be helped." She said as she started crying again.

Zeh heard what she said, he was only calm for a while then decided to leave.
