INT. DIMLY LIT ROOM – NIGHT
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfCfITwStS
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFwxIrzsRe
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
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fj5X4MAfa
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRLCfSb979
KHUSHI
"Mom... I need to talk to you about something."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJa60Pwg1L
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?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxNGxTyCZp
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."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkCP3lvd3H
Before she can say more, her mother slaps her. Once. Twice. Then again.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LQoBJOotz
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?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbCMjFNH3
MOM (coldly)
"You’re not stepping out of this house. Wait until your father gets home. He’ll deal with you."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WucJJI0Ge
She grabs Khushi’s wrist, throws her to the floor, and locks her in her room.

INT. HALLWAY – LATER
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLxv8GFvoz
Mom is breathing heavily on the couch. Sudhi, Khushi’s younger sister, brings her medicine.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIEWj4Cry8
SUDHI
"Mom? Are you okay? Did someone upset you?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6nMMBzbE
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."

108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunFKyCUjBr
Sudhi knocks softly.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28dKkZ5uSX
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."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNNUYMBtST
SUDHI (softly)
"I know it wasn’t your fault. You were drugged. You’re the victim. Stop blaming yourself."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxvvkTICzg
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."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF6C6AOQUu
SUDHI
"But he was calm. He tried to calm Mom down."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9f4s2QyLE
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PV0Zk2tIL
Mom wasn’t always like this. She became like this here. She should’ve chosen divorce. He only cares about his parents. Not us.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaKVlBr0uj
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHWD8But2J
So don’t believe him. He’ll destroy you too."

INT. HOUSE – SIX DAYS LATER
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb06AaYDeZ
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49dRt3HH00
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpElmdQleP
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
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJE6sRhTBc
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9c0JhZx2x
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OinzKmgSf
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaTQKaBqJp
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.

KHUSHI (to herself)
"Who did this? Who drugged me? Who destroyed my life? I need to find out."

108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl0wU66epE
She visits the hotel.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P9t567zvR
Asks about CCTV footage. They refuse.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsyOurAqVI
Staff tells her she needs police permission.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjk8hrcW5d
She calls Shruti for advice. Maybe just to talk. Shruti tells her to file a case.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3AEYsNcrU
She goes to the police. Faces constant questions, shame.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0buvqkZHXJ
Cries for days. Hears people whispering everywhere.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4R1Pmsirn
Her classmates gossip. Nobody sits next to her. She is isolated.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT3MsjVsal
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz4mNwmc5K
Three months pass. Alone, she keeps pushing forward.

INT. SHRUTI’S HOUSE – CONFRONTATION
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJlWqkK7RN
KHUSHI (angry)
"Why? Why would you do this to me?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4hX4ELrLQ
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."
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5to5XhCPNk
KHUSHI
"But why? It was just a joke. Why would you destroy my life?"
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6tnnrv1TJ
SHRUTI
"Because none of us are real, Khushi. We’re just creations in your mind."

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – MORNING
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aTkm1iRYG
Khushi wakes up in bed, paralyzed. Hours pass. A nurse enters for a routine check. Khushi doesn’t understand what’s happening.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBV2Pc8pNN
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ScCfWV9QB
Everything... was in her mind.

📝 Author’s Note:
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEsuStPCrm
This story is not meant to follow a traditional narrative.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeUjKDwQJE
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.**
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2su4IZe0Es
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.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYGxMdOxd8
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.
