Episode 3: When Deception Becomes Truth
177Please respect copyright.PENANAq0De1fNGXL
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.
177Please respect copyright.PENANA4J579r7Eu4
Across a metallic table, Mr. Vaidya sits—composed, but his eyes seem hollow, haunted.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAvXWl2cXl21
Yuvaan stands motionless before him. Silent. Still. Gaze sharp as a blade, locked onto the man who once defined his fate.
177Please respect copyright.PENANA8EiyR4ssfQ
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAKwASoIrDur
Yuvaan’s reply slices through the air—controlled, but charged.
“Memories don’t burn, Vaidya. They just... change. They become nightmares.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANA5PCdPqWc5v
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANA35NpqOxb9S
Yuvaan takes a slow breath, like containing a storm.
“You didn’t save me. You sold me. In exchange for Kiara.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAjNUUYh5Cwg
Silence.
177Please respect copyright.PENANARJOmV5Bqi0
The smirk fades from Vaidya’s face. His jaw clenches.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAxCmXPRoGBH
Flashback Begins:
177Please respect copyright.PENANAbEbPXuTFdU
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.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAcGYZxwAwQ8
She spoke in codes, hallucinations woven with logic. Everyone dismissed her. Except Yuvaan.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ45JyWvrA
Narration (Yuvaan’s voice):
“She wasn’t just a patient. She was a puzzle. And you... you wanted to make her a weapon.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAeiZg2jOi85
Back to present.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAIElv3QCwmo
Mr. Vaidya wipes his brow, sweat trickling down his temple.
“Kiara was unstable. You got emotional. There’s no place for emotions in RAW.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANARVm2vdz6A3
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAXCPyt26fhf
Vaidya turns away. His voice cracks.
“She was my daughter, Yuvaan... Kiara was my own daughter.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAXHWvPwI059
Yuvaan goes still. Like time just cracked open.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAKgK1R0XF2G
“You never told me... why?”
177Please respect copyright.PENANADqSV3BaE1J
“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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAbadlaMpXt7
Yuvaan collapses into the chair, face buried in his hands. Breathing ragged. The weight of a thousand truths crashing onto his shoulders.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAPIEVjQIVt1
Flashback ends.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAJLdQA7dETy
His voice drops to a whisper.
“So that day... in the asylum... you erased her. Her existence. Her records. Her past... all of it.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAn0EmnvfKUH
Mr. Vaidya leans forward, opening a metallic briefcase. Inside—an old holo-recorder. He presses play.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAJk6ZdIZ7da
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAeVUcEkCg6R
Tears sting Yuvaan’s eyes.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAW4ryWcSq2b
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANALRyzDJ8OMp
Yuvaan wipes his tears with trembling fingers.
“Then I’ll find it. Every layer of it.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANA5a51GhHunX
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAnHkCj0vWae
Yuvaan’s eyes narrow like drawn blades.
“I don’t work for anyone. I work towards the truth.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAaZqvkw5l1l
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAecAEpj3O4p
Yuvaan opens the folder. A photograph slips out. A butterfly tattoo.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAOSOCPDF5ot
His breath hitches.
“Kiara... or her shadow. It leads back there.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAtplbeEeZ1N
Suddenly, a muffled explosion in the distance.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAYHGtKYCI8e
Yuvaan bolts out of the facility.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAaQZT1hblqm
Dark smoke. Sirens. Screams.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAU9z8J1Yop8
In the chaos, a figure dashes through the shadows.
177Please respect copyright.PENANAqT1jQrqW1D
Yuvaan shouts,
“Stop! Who are you?!”
177Please respect copyright.PENANANXkB0FpKOL
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.”
177Please respect copyright.PENANAUhcecmxVkd
Yuvaan stares into the dark.
177Please respect copyright.PENANACfHaaPS2U3
A storm begins to rise.
