 Arby gave the DNA report to Anthony and told the whole truth that Kai isnt your Son😱


[INT. ANTHONY’S LIVING ROOM – EVENING]

Anthony is sitting on the couch, a drink in his hand. Arby stands near the door, holding a large envelope. There's tension in the air.

Anthony:
Arby, you said you had something to show me. What is it?

Arby:
I need you to sit down for this, man. It's not easy. I’ve been holding it in for weeks.

Anthony:
I am sitting. Just say it already.

Arby: (hesitates, then hands over the envelope)
It’s a DNA test. I had to do it, Anthony. I had to know the truth.

Anthony: (confused)
DNA test? What the hell are you talking about? For who?

Arby:
For Kai.

Anthony: (his voice drops)
What? Why would you—why would you do a DNA test on my son?

Arby:
Because... because I had doubts. I saw things. The timelines, the way things didn’t add up. And I couldn’t stay silent anymore.

Anthony: (opens the envelope with shaking hands)
You went behind my back?

Arby:
I didn’t do it to hurt you. I did it because you deserve the truth.

Anthony: (reading the report, stunned)
...This says... I’m not Kai’s biological father.

Arby: (softly)
I’m sorry, man.

Anthony: (stands up, voice rising)
You're sorry?! I raised him. I was there the day he was born. I cut the damn umbilical cord!

Arby:
I know. And that still matters. But Anthony... the truth is the truth. I overheard things. Saw messages. I confronted Leena. She didn’t deny it.

Anthony: (quietly, almost whispering)
You talked to Leena about this before you told me?

Arby:
I wanted to be sure before I tore your world apart.

Anthony:
You had no right. You had no right, Arby.

Arby: (firmly)
I did have a right. I’m your brother. I couldn’t watch you live a lie anymore.

Anthony: (pacing now, angry and heartbroken)
So what now? You expect me to just stop being his dad? To what—tell an eight-year-old boy that everything he knows is a lie?

Arby:
No, man. I don’t expect anything. That’s for you to decide. But you needed to know.

Anthony: (sinks back down)
Does Kai know?

Arby:
No. And I don’t think he should. Not now. Not like this.

Anthony:
And Leena... she just lied to me all these years? Let me believe he was mine?

Arby:
She said she didn’t know for sure. But she never told you there was a possibility. That’s what makes it worse.

Anthony: (looks up, eyes glassy)
He calls me Dad, Arby. He tells me he wants to be like me when he grows up.

Arby:
That’s real. No DNA test can take that away. You are his father in every way that counts. But... now you know the truth. And you deserve to live with that truth—however you choose to handle it.

Anthony: (long silence, then quietly)
I don’t even know who I am right now.

Arby: (places a hand on Anthony's shoulder)
You’re the same guy who’s loved that kid from day one. Nothing changes that. But yeah... it’s going to hurt. It’s going to get ugly. And I’ll be here through all of it.

Anthony: (softly, barely audible)
I don’t think I can forgive her.

Arby:
That’s not for today. Today is about facing it. The rest will come, one piece at a time.

Anthony: (closes his eyes, nods slowly)
Thank you for telling me. Even if I hate you for it right now.

Arby:
I’ll take the hate. I just couldn’t take the silence anymore.

They sit in silence. The weight of the truth hangs heavy in the room.
