INT. DIMLY LIT ROOM – NIGHT
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJSY6gMJFY
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC408W8WDY
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
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMNahCIt9R
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VAhwBuVP6
KHUSHI
"Mom... I need to talk to you about something."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcMnfV3c4w
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?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3ZFF3gt9e
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."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhSnnAPRB2
Before she can say more, her mother slaps her. Once. Twice. Then again.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf7Nglz8fA
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?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHTmvZVJiZ
MOM (coldly)
"You’re not stepping out of this house. Wait until your father gets home. He’ll deal with you."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6S626JK8Z
She grabs Khushi’s wrist, throws her to the floor, and locks her in her room.

INT. HALLWAY – LATER
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmtfhWhpBf
Mom is breathing heavily on the couch. Sudhi, Khushi’s younger sister, brings her medicine.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvs87ICize
SUDHI
"Mom? Are you okay? Did someone upset you?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacwlwRjDaJ
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."

560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXyxhfZc7G
Sudhi knocks softly.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUV53Q1ft0
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."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlNCtOu5YH
SUDHI (softly)
"I know it wasn’t your fault. You were drugged. You’re the victim. Stop blaming yourself."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YPMBUpDzD
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."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYalkhyM0
SUDHI
"But he was calm. He tried to calm Mom down."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYutz3Vu3us
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7dsYYwTbu
Mom wasn’t always like this. She became like this here. She should’ve chosen divorce. He only cares about his parents. Not us.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96KF9uyCDH
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA4Al55v9i
So don’t believe him. He’ll destroy you too."

INT. HOUSE – SIX DAYS LATER
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM4F0O73Ms
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r4SdUN2fw
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj8kJ0GLEc
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
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWIiSOZxj2
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjKjQtlbuJ
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04CwCLpAZ4
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmKNLfq2EO
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."

MONTAGE: INVESTIGATION
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVUUWWHl6Y
She visits the hotel.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNriDIkBmwv
Asks about CCTV footage. They refuse.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkoEYpVUz
Staff tells her she needs police permission.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8msk62G8T3
She calls Shruti for advice. Maybe just to talk. Shruti tells her to file a case.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe3cJhFt3N
She goes to the police. Faces constant questions, shame.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz1cYLWcRi
Cries for days. Hears people whispering everywhere.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPFhoPYl5Y
Her classmates gossip. Nobody sits next to her. She is isolated.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxH4JOSMJT
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E4blLTJSu
Three months pass. Alone, she keeps pushing forward.

INT. SHRUTI’S HOUSE – CONFRONTATION
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhilheQecH
KHUSHI (angry)
"Why? Why would you do this to me?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYnwAEpIU
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."
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLtU9jBYN8
KHUSHI
"But why? It was just a joke. Why would you destroy my life?"
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZ1DACruC
SHRUTI
"Because none of us are real, Khushi. We’re just creations in your mind."

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – MORNING
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmzO9AsvHY
Khushi wakes up in bed, paralyzed. Hours pass. A nurse enters for a routine check. Khushi doesn’t understand what’s happening.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDYdRYAMje
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh36hSGOtb
Everything... was in her mind.

📝 Author’s Note:
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXoMKnITZv
This story is not meant to follow a traditional narrative.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86xfhAjv2N
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.**
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAnNK0k9TI
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.
560Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYTnk1Kt4H
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.
