Faisal rushed into his brother-in-law's office. Without asking permission, he opened the door and walked straight inside, stopping in front of him.
Faisal: What does Wali know?
The brother-in-law leaned back slightly, his voice calm but sharp.
Brother-in-law: Enough to destroy you.
Faisal's face stiffened.
Faisal: What do you mean?
Brother-in-law: He knows everything.
How you used him against his own brother…
and how you kept him away from his mother.
He knows you very well.
Faisal took a step back and slowly sat on the chair, his breath uneven.
Faisal: No… no. That's not possible.
I have to stop him before he creates a huge mess.
He stood up and turned to leave, but a voice stopped him.
Brother-in-law: Just keep one thing in mind—
if your beloved son does anything against me,
I won't spare him.
Faisal turned back, his eyes burning.
Faisal: Watch your words.
Don't forget… he is my son.
Faisal walked out.
The brother-in-law remained standing there, silent.
Suddenly, he grabbed the glass from the table and threw it to the floor.
It shattered.
Scene — Faisal Shah's Inner Conflict
Faisal Shah entered his room and sat quietly on the edge of the bed.
The room was silent, but his mind wasn't.
Flashback
Faisal: I will get my sons back to you. As I said, now both children are mine.
His wife looked at him in disbelief.
Wife: How insane are you?
You only want Wali and Zayan because of your property.
You don't even care about your own sons.
Faisal: Shut up and stop this emotional drama.
Her voice trembled, but she didn't back away.
Wife: Faisal, I know you want the property. Take everything.
But please… give my sons to me.
Faisal's expression hardened.
Faisal: Do you think I'm a fool?
You know very well that once they turn eighteen,
they will become the owners of my inheritance.
That's why you want them.
Tears filled her eyes.
Wife: How greedy you are…
You only care about money.
Present Time
Faisal spoke to himself, his voice barely above a whisper.
Faisal (to himself):
If Wali knows the truth, then he probably hates me.
If he leaves me… no.
I can't afford that.
Scene — Zara's Silent Breakdown
Zara sat alone in her room, staring outside through the window.
The sky was clear… too clear.
Suddenly, a memory hit her.
Flashback
Zara: Zayan, look. Today the sky looks so beautiful.
Zayan glanced at the sky.
Zayan: Hmm… it is.
Zara: Just look at the sunlight, how it enhances the beauty of the sky.
Zayan didn't look at the sky this time.
He looked at her.
Zayan: Yeah… just like your love.
It enhances my life, makes it more beautiful… more joyful.
Zara blushed slightly.
Zara: Hmm…
Zayan smiled teasingly.
Zayan: Oh wow, someone's blushing hard.
Zara: Stop it, Zayan.
Zayan: Just look at you—your face is turning red like a tomato.
Zara: Zayan…
Zayan: Okay, okay, sorry.
But you look even more beautiful when you blush.
Zara hid her face.
Zara: Just go to hell.
Zayan: Hey? That's not fair—listen—
Present Time
A tear slipped down Zara's cheek.
Zara (to herself):
How beautifully you trapped me…
Your words, your emotions—was everything fake?
You said you loved me more than anything,
and betrayed me at the same time.
She paused, then wiped her tears.
Zara: No.
You're not allowed to be weak, Zara. Stay strong.
She took a deep breath.
Zara: My heart may still love you, Zayan…
but I will never forget how you destroyed me.
I hate you, Zayan. I hate you.
Suddenly, the door lock clicked.
Zara quickly wiped her tears.
Zara: Come in.
Alia: Zara, my love… how are you?
Zara: Auntie.
Zara hugged her tightly.
Alia: I was so scared. Thank God you're fine.
Zara: I'm better now.
Alia: I'm so sorry. It's my mistake—I shouldn't have left you alone.
But don't worry. This time, I'm taking you with me.
Zara: Please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault.
Alia: Hmm… maybe you're right.
Anyway, start packing your things. This time, I won't listen to you.
You're coming with me.
A knock came at the door.
Zoya: Zara, please come for lunch.
Zara: Sure. We're coming.
Scene — At the Table
Everyone sat around the dining table.
Alia: Zoya, pass me the salad.
Zoya: Sure.
Javed quietly glanced at Zara, then looked away.
Zoya: Dad, do you want anything?
Javed: No.
Alia took a breath.
Alia: Mr. Javed, I talked to Zara.
She'll be coming with me.
Javed looked at Zara.
Javed: So… you've decided to move?
Zara: Yes, Uncle.
I want to study medical, and Skyline Vale City has better opportunities.
So I decided to move there.
Auntie smiled faintly.
Auntie: Wow. Opportunities are here too, Zara.
Just say it simply—you don't want to live with us anymore.
Zara looked up, calm but firm.
Zara: It's not like what you think.
I'm just… done with everything.
Alia: Zara is an adult.
She can make her own decisions wisely.
Javed nodded slowly.
Javed: Okay. Do whatever you want.
Just remember one thing—I'm always here for you.
Zara: Thank you, Uncle.
Zoya sat quietly. Suddenly, a message popped up on her phone.
Zoya: Mom, Dad… Sara is going to another country.
She's arranging a small get-together this evening.
Should we go?
Javed: Okay, sweetheart. But don't be late.
Alia turned to Zara.
Alia: Zara, will you join them too?
Zara paused for a moment.
Zara: Yes, Auntie.
Some things are still pending…
and they need to be resolved.
Scene — Sisters' Confrontation
Zara walked toward her room when suddenly Zoya grabbed her arm.
Zoya: What pending things are you talking about?
Zara turned slowly.
Zara: Don't act foolish in front of me.
Zoya: Zara… what are you actually going to do?
Zara: You don't need to pretend in front of me—
that you care.
Zoya's grip loosened.
Zoya: I do. I really do love you.
Zayan didn't play with you. He wanted to tell you the truth,
but the doctor said you weren't ready to handle any sudden shock.
Zara let out a bitter smile.
Zara: Oh really?
If Zayan truly cared about me,
then why did he fall in love with me in the first place?
Zoya fell silent.
Zara: Come on… answer me.
You don't have an answer, right?
She took a step back.
Zara: I'm going to meet him.
I'll talk to him myself.
And I'll get my answers.
Zara walked away.
Zoya remained standing there, silent.
Zoya (to herself):
I wish I had never been a part of this.
Scene — Get-Together
Ali: Have you finished all your preparations?
Sara: Yes, almost done.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Ali: I'll get it.
Ali opened the door.
Ali: Welcome, bro!
Ahmed: Bro, how are you?
Aliza: Hi, Ali!
Ali: Hi! Welcome. Come in.
Let me get some drinks for you guys.
Sara: Hello, Aliza… Ahmed.
Ahmed handed a small gift to Sara.
Sara: Oh… it's for me?
Ahmed: Yeah, a special gift for a special friend.
Aliza: Wow! That's so sweet.
Sara glanced at Aliza and smiled.
Ali: Here are your drinks.
Another doorbell rang.
Sara: Let me check.
Sara opened the door, and Zoya rushed in, hugging her.
Zoya: Hey, buddy!
Sara: Hello, Zoya… hi, Zara.
Zara: Hi.
Sara: Come inside.
Aliza: Hello, girls!
Ahmed: Oh, Zara! How are you?
Zara: I'm okay.
Ali: Good to see you.
Scene — Get-Together
Everyone settled around the table, chatting and laughing lightly.
Ahmed (to Sara): So… where's our chief guest?
Zoya frowned slightly.
Zoya: Who?
Before Sara could answer, there was a knock at the door.
Sara: See for yourself.
She rushed to the door and opened it.
Sara: Oh—Zayan?
Zayan: What happened?
Were you expecting someone else?
Sara: Ah… no. Welcome.
Zayan smiled and handed her a small gift.
Zayan: By the way, this is for you.
Sara: Thank you.
As Sara turned toward the door again, her smile faded a little.
Sara (to herself): I think he's not coming.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Voice: Hey—wait for me!
Sara's face lit up.
Sara: Wali!
She ran toward him and hugged him tightly.
Sara: I knew it—you would come.
She pulled him inside.
Sara: Come on, everyone's waiting.
Scene — Unspoken Tension
Zayan stepped inside quietly, his eyes scanning the room.
They stopped on Zara.
Zayan (to himself): So… you're here too.
Zara felt a chill run down her spine without even realizing it.
She looked up—and their eyes met for a brief second.
Tense. Silent. Filled with unanswered questions.
Ali: Zayan, why are you standing there? Come on.
Ahmed: How are you, buddy?
Zayan forced a smile.
Zayan: I'm perfectly fine.
Aliza: Where's Sara?
Just then, Sara entered the room, holding Wali by the arm.
Sara: Look who's arrived!
Ahmed: Wali!
Ahmed and Ali rushed toward him.
Ahmed: Where the hell have you been?
Ali: Yeah, I kept calling you—no response at all.
Wali: Come on, guys. I just arrived.
Zoya watched from a distance.
Zoya (to herself): So… he's here too.
Sara: Okay, let me get some snacks for you first.
Ahmed: Yes, please. I'm dying of hunger.
Wali: Don't lie. You haven't eaten anything since morning just because of this get-together.
Ali: Morning?
I think since yesterday evening.
Right?
Everyone laughed.
Ahmed: Yeah, yeah… very funny.
Scene — In the Kitchen
Sara placed snacks neatly onto the plates.
Sara: Zoya, I think that's enough.
Zoya didn't respond.
Her eyes were fixed on Wali through the doorway.
Zoya (to herself):
He destroyed his brother's life…
and still looks so calm.
How?
Sara: Zoya? I'm talking to you.
Zoya: Huh—sorry. What did you say?
Sara glanced in the direction Zoya was staring.
Sara: I was talking about the snacks…
but I think you're busy staring at Wali.
Zoya looked away.
Zoya: I was just wondering…
he ruined everyone's peace,
yet he sits there like nothing ever happened.
She paused, then looked at Sara.
Zoya: By the way…
did you forgive him for what he did to you?

She paused, then looked at Sara.
Zoya: By the way…
did you forgive him for what he did to you?
Sara looked at Zoya.
Sara: It's not Wali's fault.
Zoya narrowed her eyebrows.
Flashback
Sara: Happy birthday, Wali.
Wali: Thank you.
Sara: Look, I prepared this food for you.
Wali: Hmm…
Sara: What happened?
Wali took a deep breath.
Wali: Sara… I don't love you.
I only said yes because of what you tried to do back then. I was scared. I didn't know what to do…
He paused.
Wali: The truth is… my heart belongs to someone else.
I'm sorry.
Sara swallowed hard.
Sara: It doesn't matter.
I'll win your heart one day—no matter how long it takes.
Wali: Then try your best.
But don't complain to me later. I've already told you the truth.
Present Time
Zoya looked at Sara silently.
Sara: Wali never loved me—and I knew that.
Still, I tried my best… but I couldn't win his heart.
She smiled faintly.
Sara: Now I understand something.
Love isn't a deal.
You can't force someone to love you.
She looked at Zoya.
Sara: If your love doesn't return to you,
you must learn to let it go.
Zoya stayed quiet.
Sara smiled at her.
Sara: You're lucky, Zoya.
Because loving someone is better than being loved by someone.
From outside—
Ali: Sara, hurry up!
Sara: We're coming. Let me take this out.
Sara walked away.
Zoya stayed back, her eyes drifting toward Wali… quietly.
Scene — Smoke & Silence
The boys were busy around the barbecue, laughing and arguing.
But Zayan's eyes were locked on Zara.
Ahmed: Damn, man! This smoke is burning my eyes.
Ali: Zayan, what are you doing? Do it properly.
No response.
Ali: Zayan?
Zayan blinked, snapping back.
Zayan: Yeah—sorry, Ahmed.
Suddenly, Wali took the fan from Zayan's hand.
Wali: Do something else.
When your eyes are somewhere else, this usually happens.
Zayan narrowed his eyes, but before he could say anything—
Ahmed: Wali, by the way, Lion told me you're back into car racing.
Ali turned toward Wali.
Ali: Seriously?
Ahmed: You know what? Wali even won the last race.
Zayan smirked faintly.
Zayan: Of course.
Don't you know? My brother does anything to win—
no matter who suffers.
Wali looked at him calmly.
Wali: Thanks anyway, Ahmed.
Focus on your meat—it's burning.
Ali leaned closer and whispered in Wali's ear.
Ali: We need to talk later.
Wali: Hmm.
From a distance—
Aliza: Boys, come here!
Zayan: Yeah, we're coming.
Scene — Laughter Before the Truth
Everyone enjoyed the barbecue, chatting and gossiping with each other.
Aliza: Thank you so much, Sara, for this amazing dinner.
Zoya: Yeah, girl. Thank you.
Sara smiled softly.
Sara: Guys… actually, I want to thank all of you.
Ahmed: Ahh—no need for that.
We go anywhere if there's free food.
Everyone laughed.
Wali: Yeah, even if it's hell.
We can adjust.
Ali: Don't worry, you'll go there for sure.
Everyone burst out laughing.
Wali: Shut up.
Sara took a deep breath.
Sara: After my parents' death, you all made my life better.
You gave me beautiful moments when I had nothing.
Now I'm moving away, but our memories will always stay with me.
She looked around.
Sara: I'm so lucky to have you all in my life—
especially you, Zoya… and you, Wali.
You're the best part of my childhood.
Zoya (dramatically): My pleasure.
Wali: Of course.
After all, you always ate my snacks and my lunch.
Sara: But still… you all are amazing.
She hugged everyone tightly.
Sara: I'm going to miss you guys so much.
Wali: Okay, okay—enough emotions.
Let's change the mood.
Wali: Ahmed, play some music.
Ahmed: Yes, boss!
Music filled the space.
Everyone started dancing and enjoying themselves.
Suddenly, Zara walked toward Zayan and whispered in his ear.
Zara: We need to talk. Come outside.
Zayan looked at her for a second, then nodded.
Zayan: Okay.
He followed her outside.
Scene — Outside (Zayan & Zara)
Zayan's hands were shaking.
He didn't know what was happening inside him—
only that a storm was growing, violent and uncontrollable.
He tried to calm himself, pressing a hand against his chest,
as if he could slow his own heart.
Zayan looked ahead.
Zara was standing alone, waiting for him.
Still. Silent.
His breath hitched.
Zayan (to himself):
I can't bear this pain anymore.
Tonight… it has to end.
He took a step forward.
Scene — Outside (The First Words)
Zayan finally broke the silence.
Zayan: So… what do you want to know?
Zara looked straight at him.
Zara: The truth you've been hiding for years.
Zayan let out a faint, humorless smile.
Zayan: Okay.
I'll tell you.
Zara inhaled deeply, steadying herself.
Zara: Then tell me—
but only the truth.
Silence fell between them again.
Zayan swallowed hard.
Zayan: Okay… it's true.
I've known you since primary school—back in Skyline Vale City.
We were best friends.
Do you remember?
Zara didn't react.
Zara: I'm not interested in memories.
Just tell me one thing.
Did you drive the car that night?
Zayan's voice dropped.
Zayan: Yes.
I did.
Zara rolled her eyes bitterly.
Zara: Then why did Uncle say there was another man who hit my dad's car?
Zayan looked away.
Zayan: I was driving.
I was drunk.
My friends pushed me into racing… and I did it—to prove I was the best.
Zara laughed, hollow and sharp.
Zara: Wow.
What a brilliant way to prove your worth.
Zayan clenched his fists.
Zayan: My dad saved me.
He didn't want everything destroyed, so he hired a man to go to jail in my place.
Zara stared at him in disbelief.
Zara: Seriously?
So you were allowed to live freely while someone else paid for your crime?
Her voice trembled with anger.
Zara: Do you even realize how selfish you are?
Zayan looked at Zara.
A faint smirk crossed his lips.
Zayan: Hmm… selfish?
Before he could say anything else, his eyes caught something—
a red laser light, dancing across Zara's face.
His expression changed instantly.
Zayan: Zara—!
Without thinking, Zayan grabbed her and pulled her sharply toward himself.
A gunshot echoed through the air.
Zayan tightened his grip on her hand.
Zayan: Come with me. Now!
They started running.
Footsteps. Chaos. Panic.
Suddenly—
Something struck Zayan hard from behind.
He staggered… then collapsed to the ground.
Zara: Zayan!
Before she could reach him, strong arms wrapped around her from behind.
Zara struggled desperately.
Zara: Leave me! Let me go!
The man tightened his grip.
Zara struggled, but it was useless.
Zayan lay motionless on the ground.
Within seconds, more men appeared.
They lifted both of them and pushed them into a black van.
The door slammed shut.
Silence.
Inside the van, a man pulled out his phone.
Man: Sir… I did exactly as you said.
There was a pause.
Voice from the other side: Okay.
The call disconnected.
The van drove away into the darkness.
