Opening Scene
The night is calm. A soft breeze plays with their hair as Zayan, Zara, and Zoya walk along the quiet street. Above them, stars glitter across the Istanbul sky like a silent audience watching their story unfold.
Zara (to Zayan, softly smiling):
"So… did you call your driver? Or planning to go home by yourself?"
Zayan (shrugging):
"Nope, I'll take the metro. The weather's nice anyway."
Zara:
"That's great. But—Zayan?"
Zayan:
"Hmm?"
Zara:
"Why don't you ever drive yourself?"
Zayan pauses for a moment. His smile fades slightly.
Zayan (hesitant):
"I do sometimes… but I just don't want to. Not really."
Zara (teasing):
"Ohhh… are you scared?"
Zayan (tries to smile):
"Not a lot."
Zara (laughs gently):
"I'm just kidding. Anyway—our house is here. Thanks for today, Zayan."
Zoya:
"Zara, you go in. I'm heading to the store real quick."
Zayan:
"That sounds good. Zoya, want some company? I'm bored anyway."
Zoya (nods):
"Okay."
Zayan (to Zara):
"Alright, bye. Take care, okay?"
Zara:
"Bye. Text me when you get home."
Zayan:
"Promise."
Zara enters the house. Zoya and Zayan walk off together toward the corner store. After a few steps, Zoya stops.
Zoya (serious):
"Zayan, I need to tell you something important."
Zayan:
"What is it?"
Zoya (glancing around):
"Not here. Come with me."
She grabs his arm and leads him into the small park nearby. The streetlights cast long shadows as they sit on a bench, the air growing heavier with tension.

Scene: In the Park
Zayan:
"Zoya… what's going on?"
Zoya: I talked to Zara s doctor,He said Zara is not in that condition to accept any shock, its results will be harmful. Maybe her face will have a nervous breakdown or coma etc.
Zayan: So what should we do? We can't hide from her .
Zoya: But Zayan, we can't afford that also if she faces any problem.
She paused for moment ,
Zoya: Zayan, I think for now we shouldn't tell her when she will recover completely we will tell her.
Zayan: I want to tell her, because that time I can't afford to lose her.
Zoya: I know but what do we do?
Zayan seems upset. It's like he is not happy but he can't get it.
Zayan ( lower voice) : I am leaving, take care .
Zoya: okay, bye
Zayan is leaving from there, meanwhile zoya watching her from distant
Zoya: I wish, everything goes smoothly.
Scene: Wali's Inner Thoughts
Wali sits alone in his room, the dim light casting long shadows on the walls. Zoya's words echo relentlessly in his mind—sharp, merciless. Ali's voice follows, heavier, filled with disappointment. Tears slid silently down Wali's cheeks.
Zoya ( echoing): You are not a person who is loved by someone. You only know how to play with someone.
Ali ( echoing): you destroy everything wali you are not broken my trust today infact today you broke our friendship everything.
Wali's look his reflection at mirror and smile title but tears are still falling from his eyes
Wali to himself: wow, today I lost everything, my friends, brother everything. I think Zoya is right about me. I really don't know how to love anyone, that's why everyone left me.
But..
Am I too bad?
His father come in his room
Father: wali ?
His father is shocked because after a long period he saw his tears but when wali hears his father s voice he weeps his tears quickly .
Wali: What.. What are you doing here?
Father : I am just here to meet you but why are you crying?
Wali: crying? Why do I do it? I am Wali Shah.
Father: Yeah, great wali shah, don't lie to your father .
Wali : Dad, am I too bad?
Father: Who told you? And why are you reacting like that? Oh wait did anyone reject you.
Wali look at his father s face
Father: What? Really it's my okay boy don't think too much and remember one thing love is a trap it's kill human 6 senses and make them nonsense. Just like you. Just look at yourself, what are you doing? You are crying because of one girl.
Wali's father put his hand on his shoulder and says
Father: Just keep one thing in your mind, to live life only one thing matters, that's money , not a stupid friendships and relationships because if you have money then everything will chase you.
Wali look at his father, and smile little
Wali: You are right.

Ali is shocked and he looks at his sister's face.
Sara: Wali is not a one who is obsessed with me.I am the one who is. I think I am selfish in his love. Who knows that he already loves someone else but still forces him to love me.

So, let's go
Scene: In the Exam Hall
The exam hall is tense and silent, broken only by the rustling of papers and nervous whispers.
Ahmed sits beside Wali, leaning closer.
**Ahmed:**
"Wali, did you prepare well?"
**Wali (calmly):**
"I'm already done with exams."
Ahmed blinks, confused.
**Ahmed:**
"Bro, why do you sound like a dramatic hero?"
He chuckles nervously, then lowers his voice.
"Anyway, please help me. If I fail today, my dad won't spare me."
**Wali (smirking):**
"That's great… because I didn't even open the book."
Ahmed's face drops.
**Ahmed:**
"So that means today I'm finished."
Wali gives a faint, bitter smile.
From a distance, Zoya notices him. Her eyes linger on his face, searching for something—but Wali doesn't look back.
Suddenly, Ali arrives and takes the seat next to Wali.
**Ahmed (relieved):**
"Oh, thank God! Ali, you're here. Now we're safe."
Ali doesn't respond. He looks at Wali—his eyes filled with questions, hurt, and unfinished conversations.
Wali meets his gaze, .
**Wali:**
"I don't need anyone anymore. I'm enough for myself."
His words hit harder as he looks directly at Ali.
At that moment, the teacher enters the hall.
Teacher:
"Alright, class. Get ready for your exam."
The room falls completely silent.
Pens are lifted. Papers are turned.
And between unanswered questions and broken bonds, the exam begins.
Scene: After the Exam
The silence of the exam hall breaks.
**Teacher:**
"Alright, students. Time is up."
Chairs scrape softly against the floor as students begin arranging their papers. Answer sheets are collected. A wave of relief spreads through the room as everyone stands and slowly exits the hall.
Outside, Zara spots Zayan and walks up to him.
**Zara:**
"So… how was your exam?"
**Zayan:**
"Hmm. Average. What about you?"
Zara's eyes light up.
**Zara:**
"It was fantastic."
Zayan smiles genuinely.
**Zayan:**
"Wow, that sounds great."
Zara grabs his arm playfully, excitement bubbling over.
**Zara:**
"Okay, let's go and celebrate."
Zayan nods, letting her pull him along.
He follows her—but somewhere deep inside, his thoughts lag a step behind his smile.
Scene: It's Really Him
Wali sits alone under a large tree, lost in his own world. The noise of the school fades into the background as he stares ahead, unreadable.
Ahmed approaches and drops down beside him.
Ahmed:
"Oh… you're sitting here."
Wali:
"Why? Were you expecting me somewhere else?"
Ahmed:
"Why can't you ever act normal?"
He sighs, then asks casually:
"Anyway, how was your exam?"
Wali:
"I don't know."
Ahmed turns to him, shocked.
Ahmed:
"What?"
Wali:
"What?"
Ahmed studies his face.
Ahmed:
"You're impossible. Did you really fight with Ali?"
Wali's jaw tightens.
Wali:
"I didn't end it. He did. He's done with me… so he left."
A sudden vibration breaks the silence.
Wali's phone lights up.
He unlocks the screen. A notification. An image download.
Wali's eyes widened unnaturally. He freezes for a few seconds, his breath shallow.
Wali (whispering):
"It's impossible…"
He stares harder at the screen.
"He's Zara's father."
Ahmed leans closer, trying to read Wali's expression—but fails.
Ahmed:
"What happened?"
Wali slowly lifts his head. A small, dangerous smile curves on his lips.
Wali:
"Now… the real game begins."
