INT. DIMLY LIT ROOM – NIGHT
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLakOgZFsx
The muffled, broken voice of a girl crying fills the silence. Her sobs echo through the room. She is alone. Her breath is shaky. Her words come out in soft, choked fragments.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64tJQkWOgU
KHUSHI (V.O.)
"I don’t know if I did something wrong... I can’t remember. How could this happen to me? Was it my fault? Maybe it was. Who told me to go to that party so late? Who told me to take a drink from someone I barely knew? I drank it like it was nothing. Please, God, let this be a nightmare. Let me wake up and find everything back to normal. How can I face my parents? How do I even begin to tell them?"

INT. HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – EVENING
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ES1cTvh2Q
Khushi paces nervously. The atmosphere is heavy. Her phone buzzes repeatedly. Notifications. Photos. Videos. It’s already on the internet. She can’t hide it. She has to tell them before someone else does.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN9Z3pw2MJ
KHUSHI
"Mom... I need to talk to you about something."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNs9D6Z29r
MOM (sharply)
"No, you answer me first. Why didn’t you call me this morning like usual? Where were you last night? You’re about to get married! Start acting like it. Where did these disgusting habits come from? Did we raise you like this?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfQ96BAZUp
KHUSHI (pleading)
"I went to the party I told you about. I asked for your permission. Mummy, please listen to me. At the party... I drank something. After that, everything went blank. I woke up in a room with a boy. I don’t remember what happened. I swear I didn’t do anything. It wasn’t my fault. It’s already on social media. Everyone's judging me, but I didn’t ask for this."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7H5T00z7E
Before she can say more, her mother slaps her. Once. Twice. Then again.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxIMmsSGt6
MOM (screaming)
"I don’t know how you came from my womb. You should’ve died before you were born. Were you sent to ruin us? I warned you so many times! Who will marry you now? You’re already dark, you wear glasses, have a thick nose and acne scars. The day you were born, I felt I had given birth to a curse. And THIS is how you repay me? I should have ended it then. Why were you even born?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PuAJfx5Bp
MOM (coldly)
"You’re not stepping out of this house. Wait until your father gets home. He’ll deal with you."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVgDhhiE6R
She grabs Khushi’s wrist, throws her to the floor, and locks her in her room.

INT. HALLWAY – LATER
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nSDnuy7nL
Mom is breathing heavily on the couch. Sudhi, Khushi’s younger sister, brings her medicine.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtekLwaMZ4K
SUDHI
"Mom? Are you okay? Did someone upset you?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYLwwRDKdC
MOM (bitter)
"Your sister. A disgrace. She’s ruined the one thing she had—her reputation. We found a groom with so much difficulty. And now she just slept with someone? If this marriage doesn’t happen, the only thing leaving this house will be her corpse. Don’t give her food or water until she agrees. That’s the only way. Don’t tell the groom. If no one knows, it’s fine. Right? I’m furious beyond words."

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgga006sUpS
Sudhi knocks softly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiebkR7YPlY
SUDHI
"Didi, are you awake? I brought water and snacks. Please eat. Did you scratch yourself again? You shouldn’t. What’s happening? Please say something. It hurts when you stay silent."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOtMRDqB54
SUDHI (softly)
"I know it wasn’t your fault. You were drugged. You’re the victim. Stop blaming yourself."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm9L2dzMIS
KHUSHI (whispering)
"Go back. Dad’s awake. He’s watching. Don’t talk. Take the food and leave. If Mom finds out, he’ll punish you."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUPX80FHQK
SUDHI
"But he was calm. He tried to calm Mom down."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJLXblsbbs
KHUSHI (firm)
"Don’t trust him. Ever. Did you forget what I showed you? You’re being kind because he spoke nicely? He’s the one who tore us apart. He broke Mom. Do you know why she has no hair? Because he didn’t like it. Why no traditional clothes? Because he hates them. Why we had to be top in studies and sports? Because he’s ashamed of us. He doesn’t even talk to us directly. He talks through Mom to make her look bad.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC9CAuJvXH
Mom wasn’t always like this. She became like this here. She should’ve chosen divorce. He only cares about his parents. Not us.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ivzkWZSvY
When she was 8 months pregnant with you, he left her outside the house for three days. No food. No water. He didn’t even call a doctor when she gave birth to me. That’s why she hates me. I’m the scar of her pain.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcVs27ZbfD
So don’t believe him. He’ll destroy you too."

INT. HOUSE – SIX DAYS LATER
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht0fF6iK9Q
KHUSHI’S POV
She hasn’t eaten in days. The pain in her stomach is unbearable. She feels dizzy, on the verge of collapse. She knows if she stays, she’ll die. She has to escape.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WTZJTQBBx
Her mom lets her out to use the bathroom. She decides to make a noise, a distraction—hoping her mother, in her forgetful state, leaves the key behind.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8zuqX3X8o
MOM (spitting)
"So? Do you still think you were innocent? A normal daughter would have killed herself by now. You didn’t even cry. Oh right, you don’t have emotions."

INT. KHUSHI’S ROOM – NIGHT
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5tVez0H8v
Khushi finds the key. She unlocks the door. The kitchen is locked, but under the couch cushion, she finds 200 rupees. She searches the living room for her phone—her mother had taken it. She finds it.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BDSOioGQf
The front door is locked. She sneaks upstairs and softly calls the neighbor’s dog. It sees her but doesn’t bark. She uses the adjacent wall to climb into the empty neighboring house, crosses it, and escapes. She thanks the dog and runs.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV1Wg2n6wr
She runs through the dark streets, barefoot, with her phone. No food. Every shadow feels dangerous. She reaches the bus stand, takes a bus, and gets off near her hostel.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEKko6HECC
She collapses at the entrance. In the darkness, she sobs uncontrollably. The suicidal thoughts come again. She almost gives in. But she holds on. She sleeps in tears. The next morning, the thoughts return. But something snaps.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEpsPcGyLm
KHUSHI (to herself)
"Who did this? Who drugged me? Who destroyed my life? I need to find out."

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTCOUrQjt4
She visits the hotel.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5DWA6LPhq
Asks about CCTV footage. They refuse.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf5CApRssx
Staff tells her she needs police permission.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHElI37FEJn
She calls Shruti for advice. Maybe just to talk. Shruti tells her to file a case.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0CN8a6dq7
She goes to the police. Faces constant questions, shame.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SZgPF1enN
Cries for days. Hears people whispering everywhere.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPo8nDaGo
Her classmates gossip. Nobody sits next to her. She is isolated.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHH11j7mWO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNNZWkEC0y
Three months pass. Alone, she keeps pushing forward.

INT. SHRUTI’S HOUSE – CONFRONTATION
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEY793tW2s
KHUSHI (angry)
"Why? Why would you do this to me?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwixcSbajT
SHRUTI (cold)
"Because no one is truly yours. People stay because they need you. Your fiancé? Ankur? He never loved you. You were just convenient. Wake up. This is life. Accept it. Move on."
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELnqppkrOF
KHUSHI
"But why? It was just a joke. Why would you destroy my life?"
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3udkRpnxm
SHRUTI
"Because none of us are real, Khushi. We’re just creations in your mind."

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – MORNING
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSS2PTxT21
Khushi wakes up in bed, paralyzed. Hours pass. A nurse enters for a routine check. Khushi doesn’t understand what’s happening.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1joV8XdvrP
Weeks later, she learns the truth: she was in a bus accident. Her father never existed. Her mother is alive and loves her deeply. She is their only child. She never had a friend named Shruti.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmkqgtYTP
Everything... was in her mind.

📝 Author’s Note:
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOlngFT5z5
This story is not meant to follow a traditional narrative.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5wqfXuraB
It’s told from the perspective of a girl who is experiencing severe trauma and mental breakdown. That’s why some details feel incomplete, confusing, or even unrealistic—because they’re not grounded in reality. They’re happening **in her head.**
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaz3Oiq9jM
This is a hallucinated version of events, shaped by guilt, shame, and suppressed memories. She doesn’t remember full names. People disappear or appear without logic. Timelines are broken. Even her “friend” turns out to be imaginary.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvHDBXel1q
The gaps are intentional. The story reflects how trauma distorts time, people, and memory. It's one-sided because trauma often is. She blames herself, stays silent, and builds an entire world around that shame—until her mind collapses under it.
