Scene – Truth Revealed
Zara stands in front of Wali, her eyes filled with questions she doesn't know how to voice.
From the side, Zoya whispers to herself, almost pleading:
Zoya: Wali… please… don't.
Zara (firm, desperate): I'm talking to you, Wali Shah!
Zoya steps forward, trying to comfort her.
Zoya: Zara… listen to me.
Zara jerks her hand away and shouts:
Zara: Shut up! Don't touch me!
Wali (calm but firm): You really want to hear the truth, right?
Zara turns to him, her voice trembling, tears streaking her face.
Zara (shivering): Yes… I want to know.
Wali steps closer, meeting her gaze directly.
Wali: Then listen carefully… Zayan is responsible for the accident—the one where you lost everything.
Zara takes a step back, her body shaking.
Zara: No… no, that's not possible…
She sinks into a chair, trying to process the words.
Zara: He… he can't do that to me.
Zoya places a gentle hand on Zara's shoulder.
Zoya: Zara…
But Zara screams, pushing Zoya away.
Zara (screaming): No! No! He can't! You're all lying! Zayan promised me he'd never break my heart again!
Wali grabs her arms firmly, his voice rising over her cries.
Wali (shouting): He did do it, Zara! Face the truth!
After hearing Wali's words, Zara looks at him silently. No tears. No screaming. Only silence. Only pain reflected in her eyes.
Suddenly, she collapses into Wali's arms.
Wali (panicked): Zara… Zara! Open your eyes!
Zoya (screaming): Zara!
Zoya rushes to her side, trying to comfort her.
Zoya: Zara, please… open your eyes!
Ali and the other students gather around, running towards them.
Ali: What's going on?
Sara: What happened to her?
Alize: Someone call an ambulance!
Boy: Yeah!
Ali (thinking quickly): No, that will take too long. Let's take her to the hospital in the visiting car.
Ahmed: He's right.
Ali gently lifts Zara into his arms, careful not to jostle her, and they rush to the bus
Scene _ In the Hospital
Everyone stands outside the ICU.
No one talks.
Only silence… and prayers.
Zoya sits on the bench, her hands trembling as she prays for her sister.
Ali comes and sits beside her.
Zoya looks at him and suddenly hugs him tightly.
Ali:
Don't worry. Nothing will happen to her.
Sara keeps glancing at Wali.
Wali notices it, then quietly moves away without saying a word.
Sara hesitates for a moment… then follows him.
Meanwhile, Zayan comes rushing into the hospital.
His voice is shaking as he reaches the counter.
Zayan:
Ma'am, can you please tell me about Zara Jahangir? She's a high school student.
Receptionist:
Please wait, sir. Let me check.
Zayan (anxious):
Please… do it fast.
Receptionist:
Yes, sir. She's in the ICU. Go straight and then turn left.
Zayan:
Thank you.
Zayan runs—but suddenly stops.
Through the ICU window, he sees Zara lying on the bed.
His world freezes.
Tears fall from his eyes as he slowly bends down on his knees, staring at the girl he loves.
Ali and Zoya reach him.
Ali gently places a hand on Zayan's shoulder.
Zayan (broken):
What happened to her?
Zoya looks at him, her eyes filled with anger and pain.
Zoya:
Why don't you ask your brother?
Zayan stands up and turns toward her.
Zayan:
What do you mean?
Zoya:
Ask the one who's responsible for this mess.
The one who wanted to push Zara out of your life.
Ali (firmly):
Zoya—
Zayan's eyes darken.
Zayan:
Oh… it's you again.
I won't spare you this time.
Zayan storms away.
Ali runs after him.
Ali:
Zayan!
Zoya turns back toward the ICU window, watching her sister silently…
her hands clasped together in prayer.
Wali stands alone outside the hospital.
Sara comes toward him and gently puts her hand on his shoulder.
Sara:
Wali… are you okay?
Wali:
Hmm… why are you asking me?
I'm not the one lying in the ICU.
Sara:
Don't pretend in front of me.
Sara pauses, studying his face.
Sara:
Just spill it.
Wali looks at her—but before he can say anything, his phone rings.
Wali picks up the call.
Wali:
Hello.
Faisal:
Have you done it?
Wali:
Congratulations to you.
I did exactly what you said.
Faisal (satisfied):
Well done, my boy. I'm so proud of you.
Wali cuts the call.
Sara watches him, confused and disturbed.
Wali avoids eye contact.
Wali:
I know you have a lot of questions for me…
but for now, please don't ask me anything.
Before Sara can respond, Wali walks away.
Zayan moves forward, his eyes burning with anger.
They search only one person—Wali.
Meanwhile, Ali keeps following him.
Ali:
Zayan… Zayan, listen to me.
Ali:
Zayan…
But Zayan doesn't respond and keeps walking.
Suddenly, he bumps into Sara.
Zayan:
I'm sorry.
Sara:
You… are you okay?
Ali:
Zayan, listen to me.
Zayan (shouting):
What should I listen to?
Is there anything left to hear?
Everyone around them stops and stares.
Uncle:
Boys, you're in a hospital.
Ali:
Sorry, sir.
Ali grabs Zayan by the arm.
Ali:
Come with me.
They walk away together.
Zayan:
Leave me, Ali.
Ali:
Okay. Fine. I'll leave you.
Ali removes his hand.
Ali (firm, hurt):
Now go.
Go and beat your brother—if you think this is the right time.
I won't stop you.
Zayan slowly sits down on the floor.
His strength gives up.
Tears break free.
Zayan (crying):
Then what should I do, Ali?
Did Wali leave any way for me?
He wipes his face, voice shaking.
Zayan:
I told him… no—
I begged him.
I begged him not to hurt her.
He looks up at Ali, broken.
Zayan:
But he didn't listen.
He did whatever he wanted.
A painful pause.
Zayan:
I can't believe it, Ali.
My own brother… my twin…
The one I trusted the most—
How could he do this to me?
Ali pulls him into a tight hug, trying to calm him.
Ali (to himself, quietly):
Wali… why would you do this?
Suddenly, a voice comes from the corner.
Voice:
Ali!
Ali and Zayan turn.
Ali:
Uncle Javed.
Javed (worried):
Where is Zara?
How is she?
Ali:
She's in the ICU.
Come… we'll take you there.
They stand up and move together.
Scene – Shah Mansion
Faisal Shah and his brother-in-law sit together, drinks in hand, an air of victory hanging between them.
Brother-in-law (smirking):
Faisal Shah… man, you really nailed it.
Using one son to destroy the other son's love life—
Perfectly played.
Faisal (cold):
Shut up.
I think you've had too much to drink today.
Footsteps pass by.
Faisal's eyes catch sight of Wali.
Faisal:
Wali.
Wali stops.
Turns back.
Walks toward them.
Brother-in-law (mocking):
Oh look—our champion is finally here.
Faisal:
Where are you rushing off to without even greeting your father?
Brother-in-law (lifting his glass):
Leave him.
Let him take a shot and celebrate our victory.
Faisal (irritated):
Are you out of your mind?
Brother-in-law (laughs):
Don't pretend, Faisal Shah.
You and I both know exactly what Wali Shah is capable of.
Isn't that right, Wali?
Wali (emotionless):
I don't want anything.
You guys carry on.
He looks at Faisal.
Wali:
Dad, I'm too tired.
I want some rest.
Brother-in-law (sarcastic):
Of course you are.
After all, destroying someone's life is a tiring job.
Wali slowly lifts his eyes and stares straight at his uncle—
cold, unreadable.
Faisal (sharp):
Stay within your limits.
Then, turning to Wali:
Faisal:
Wali only protected his brother from that clever girl.
Go. Get some rest.
Wali turns and walks away without another word.
Faisal steps closer to his brother-in-law, voice low and dangerous.
Faisal:
Are you out of your mind?
Scene – In the Hospital
Javed and Ayesha arrive at the hospital.
The moment Zoya sees her parents, she rushes forward and hugs her father tightly.
Zoya (breaking):
Dad…
Dad holds her gently, stroking her hair.
Dad:
Don't worry, my child.
She will be fine.
Ayesha (anxious):
What happened to her?
Zoya (shaking her head):
We don't know yet.
The doctors haven't said anything.
Dad:
Have faith.
Everything will be alright.
Time passes slowly—every second feels heavy.
The ICU door opens.
The doctor steps out.
Javed (rushing forward):
Doctor… what happened to her?
Zayan (voice trembling):
Is she… is she okay?
The doctor's expression is serious.
Doctor:
Not yet.
She's still in critical condition.
Everyone freezes.
Doctor (after a pause):
If she doesn't regain consciousness by morning…
there's a possibility she may slip into a coma.
Silence crashes over them.
Everyone (shocked):
What…?
Doctor:
Keep praying.
We'll do our best.
The doctor walks away, leaving behind fear, helplessness, and prayers whispered through tears.
Scene – Zayan's Breakdown
Javed and Ayesha sit in the waiting area, hands folded, silently praying for Zara.
A few steps away, Zoya and Sara sit together, anxiety written all over their faces.
Zoya looks around restlessly.
Zoya (low voice):
Where is Zayan?
Sara shakes her head.
Sara:
I don't know.
Ali, standing nearby, answers quietly.
Ali:
He left.
He went to get answers… from his brother.
Zoya and Sara both look at Ali—fear settling deep in their eyes.
Meanwhile – Wali's Room
Wali lies flat on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
His phone rests beside him, silent.
His expression is empty—no anger, no pride—just a strange stillness, as if the noise inside him has finally gone quiet.
But his clenched jaw tells a different story.
Wali (to himself):
I won… I got what I wanted.
But why, at this moment, do I feel so empty?
No happiness. No pride. Only silence.
Why isn't my heart satisfied?
He stands up and sits on the edge of the bed, rubbing his temples.
Wali:
What the hell… why am I thinking so much?
My head hurts too much today.
He opens the drawer, searching for medicine.
Suddenly, his eyes stop.
A small flash of memory hits him—the thing his mother once gave him.
Wali (softly):
This… this is what Mom gave me.
Suddenly, a voice echoes from the hall.
Zayan (shouting):
Wali… Wali Shah, where are you?
Zayan:
Wali…!
In anger, Zayan grabs a vase and throws it to the floor. It shatters.
Zayan (shouting):
Wali Shah, come down!
Wali steps out of his room and slowly walks downstairs.
Zayan smirks:
Oh… WOW, look who's here—the great Wali Shah, who always gets what he wants.
Wali:
Zayan… listen to me.
Zayan (shouting, voice cracking, tears falling):
Listen… what the hell do you want to explain?
Just look at that vase—see how it shattered? Just like my heart…
You broke me, Wali.
You know what… after Mom, you were the one I trusted the most.
Those words hit Wali hard. His eyes fill with tears.
Zayan:
Mom said you were supposed to take care of me after her… because you are my brother, my strength, my twin.
Zayan (shouting):
But you… you spoiled everything! Our bond, our relationship… everything.
You destroyed everything.
Zayan sweeps his tears away and looks straight into his brother's eyes. His gaze is full of aggression and fire.
Zayan (voice dark, controlled):
You really like games, right? Fine… let's play again.
But this time, I'll be the one directing it.
A war is beginning, Wali Shah… but this time, it's only between you and me.
Zayan turns and walks away, leaving Wali standing there, frozen.
From a distance, someone watches quietly—Faisal Shah, their father.
Scene _ At the Hospital
Javed to Zoya: Do you want to eat something? You haven't eaten anything.
Zoya: I don't want anything, Dad. I just want my sister back.
Javed: Don't worry, she will be fine soon.
Ayesha: Your dad is right. Nothing happened to her. You know she's so strong.
Zoya hugs her mom.
Meanwhile, Ali and Sara are standing nearby.
Ali to Sara: I think you should go home.
Sara: No, I won't leave you here alone.
Ali: But Sara…
Sara spots Zayan from a distance.
Sara: Look! Zayan is coming.
Ali turns to him.
Ali: Zayan, where have you been?
Zayan: Ali… I just want to see her.
Ali: That's not possible.
Zayan: Please, I just want to see her from a distance.
Sara: Ali, please try to talk to the doctor.
Ali: Okay… I'll try to talk to the doctor.
Ali to the Doctor: Excuse me.
Doctor: Yes?
Ali (a little hesitant): A-actually… can you do us a small favor? My friend wants to meet Zara. Can you please help us?
Doctor: I'm sorry, but we don't allow anyone to meet her yet.
Zayan (stepping forward, voice breaking): Please… please, doctor. I just want to see her from a distance. Please, I beg you.
(The doctor pauses, then sighs.)
Doctor: Okay. But only for five minutes.
Zayan (relieved, emotional): Thank you… thank you so much.
Zayan enters the ICU.
He sees Zara lying on the bed, motionless, surrounded by machines.
Zayan gently sets Zara's hair aside.
His tears fall onto her face as he holds her hand tightly.
Zayan: Zara… please come back. I can't see you in pain.
Please… please wake up. Please say something.
Your silence is killing me from the inside.
(His voice breaks.)
Please wake up and argue with me.
If you want, you can beat me… do whatever you want.
I won't say a single word. Just… please—
(He leans closer and whispers in her ear.)
Please… please open your eyes. Please.
The doctor watches him from a distance.
Doctor: Zayan, your time is up.
Zayan: Hmm…
Zayan slowly releases her hand.
As he turns away, his eyes stop.
A small tear is forming near Zara's eye.
Zayan (shocked): Doctor… doctor, look!
Doctor: You need to step outside. Nurse!
