Episode 3: When Deception Becomes Truth
145Please respect copyright.PENANABc2YKJpFTz
Scene opens in a dimly lit interrogation chamber.
The walls, bare and concrete. A slow ceiling fan creaks above. Shadows stretch long in the stale yellow light.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAIvDW66qe5j
Across a metallic table, Mr. Vaidya sits—composed, but his eyes seem hollow, haunted.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAMWQq6OiFEB
Yuvaan stands motionless before him. Silent. Still. Gaze sharp as a blade, locked onto the man who once defined his fate.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAyXrZCv3tyP
Mr. Vaidya clears his throat, voice low and deliberate.
“So... you came back. I thought that fire had burned your memories along with everything else.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANA45bsmVxbzb
Yuvaan’s reply slices through the air—controlled, but charged.
“Memories don’t burn, Vaidya. They just... change. They become nightmares.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAukB01m9Jcw
A bitter smile crawls onto Mr. Vaidya’s lips.
“You were my most brilliant asset, Yuvaan. RAW would’ve wasted a mind like yours. I saved you.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y04dX1roe
Yuvaan takes a slow breath, like containing a storm.
“You didn’t save me. You sold me. In exchange for Kiara.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAUGBqo8xKzq
Silence.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAqClogwf71q
The smirk fades from Vaidya’s face. His jaw clenches.
145Please respect copyright.PENANA9EzzHp2u2j
Flashback Begins:
145Please respect copyright.PENANAxUSY1Sc1yP
Delhi, 2016.
Yuvaan was the golden boy of RAW—an analyst with a mind like a map of chaos, finding patterns in madness.
That’s when she came in—Kiara Fernandes. Rescued from a shadowy asylum during an op gone wrong. A psychiatric patient? No. A cipher. A mystery.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAItEbip0uQ2
She spoke in codes, hallucinations woven with logic. Everyone dismissed her. Except Yuvaan.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAavDGQL2e1E
Narration (Yuvaan’s voice):
“She wasn’t just a patient. She was a puzzle. And you... you wanted to make her a weapon.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANA2tORtJTD0W
Back to present.
145Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jn5G0ZMMF
Mr. Vaidya wipes his brow, sweat trickling down his temple.
“Kiara was unstable. You got emotional. There’s no place for emotions in RAW.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANACLH6JKoUSD
Yuvaan slams his fist on the table—metal echoes in the silence.
“And there is place for betrayal? You sent me to extract her. But you leaked the location. You sent me to die.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAPeAEeFMxaD
Vaidya turns away. His voice cracks.
“She was my daughter, Yuvaan... Kiara was my own daughter.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAt8tERfsXTR
Yuvaan goes still. Like time just cracked open.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAX6jIPFCWkq
“You never told me... why?”
145Please respect copyright.PENANA1SOiG9fLvj
“Because there was something between you two. I didn’t want her falling deeper into that world. You were both... broken. Rule-breakers. I just... wanted her out.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAQW51YMC21t
Yuvaan collapses into the chair, face buried in his hands. Breathing ragged. The weight of a thousand truths crashing onto his shoulders.
145Please respect copyright.PENANA2Scdd6N0vD
Flashback ends.
145Please respect copyright.PENANASril5s1B2a
His voice drops to a whisper.
“So that day... in the asylum... you erased her. Her existence. Her records. Her past... all of it.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAfVyM8hgllB
Mr. Vaidya leans forward, opening a metallic briefcase. Inside—an old holo-recorder. He presses play.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAUo6IcyAJrg
Kiara’s voice echoes from the device—delicate, trembling, yet defiant:
“If you’re hearing this, Yuvaan... I’ve vanished. But the truth is—I wasn’t running from the world. I was running from my father. I wanted to stay with you... but I was weak. Vaidya wasn’t just my father... he was my jailer.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANASbedfG3tG9
Tears sting Yuvaan’s eyes.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAyYppMjzFNG
Mr. Vaidya murmurs, almost to himself:
“I lost... as a father, and as an officer. You’re closer to the truth, Yuvaan. But it’s not over yet.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANA9CyCKYZBsr
Yuvaan wipes his tears with trembling fingers.
“Then I’ll find it. Every layer of it.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAbDhiqhwAGa
Vaidya exhales, defeated.
“Your job isn’t done. The CBI wants you. Your name’s been erased from RAW files—but your mind... they still need that.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAKApo1lwAaI
Yuvaan’s eyes narrow like drawn blades.
“I don’t work for anyone. I work towards the truth.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANADaJ97SvtFP
Vaidya places a folder on the table.
“Sagam Case. Private asylum in Delhi. Same place Kiara was first rescued. Same place you were sent. Same place... you were meant to die.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAw1W0pRqOvJ
Yuvaan opens the folder. A photograph slips out. A butterfly tattoo.
145Please respect copyright.PENANACOXNBPIEae
His breath hitches.
“Kiara... or her shadow. It leads back there.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAankXoEPO55
Suddenly, a muffled explosion in the distance.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAWFkq5JmZNQ
Yuvaan bolts out of the facility.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAY6NzZOSfMF
Dark smoke. Sirens. Screams.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ6TT8t3Jt
In the chaos, a figure dashes through the shadows.
145Please respect copyright.PENANA2XGy9UbFcc
Yuvaan shouts,
“Stop! Who are you?!”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAYbfAAWXU8c
A voice echoes from the smoke—distorted, untraceable.
“A piece of what you’re looking for... is with me, Yuvaan. Tomorrow. 11 PM. Old underpass. Dharavi.”
145Please respect copyright.PENANAs5fFwejVgB
Yuvaan stares into the dark.
145Please respect copyright.PENANAVPk8Xve6xE
A storm begins to rise.
