Room me khamoshi chipak gayi thi…
Ayesha ke kaan me sirf ek line ghoom rahi thi—
"Main tum hoon…"
Uske haath kaanp rahe the…
"Yeh… jhooth hai… main aisa nahi kar sakti…" wo dheere se bolti hai.
Shadow mirror me muskuraata hai—
"Sach se bhaag nahi sakti, Ayesha…"
Armaan beech me bolta hai—
"Bas karo! Tum use manipulate kar rahe ho!"
Shadow dheere se Armaan ki taraf mudta hai…
"Tumhe lagta hai tum ise jaante ho…?"
Armaan gusse me—
"Haan! Main Ayesha ko jaanta hoon! Wo kisi ko hurt nahi kar sakti!"
Shadow zor se hasta hai—
"Tum jis Ayesha ko jaante ho… wo sirf ek mask hai…"
Ayesha ki aankhon se aansu girne lagte hain…
"Bas… please bas…"
Tabhi achanak—
Ayesha ke dimaag me ek bada flash aata hai—
💥 Andhera bungalow…
💥 Uske haath me chaku…
💥 Aur saamne… teen log…
Ayesha zor se cheekh padti hai—
"NAHIIIN!!!"
Wo apne sir ko pakad leti hai…
"Yeh sab… maine kiya…?"
Shadow dheere se kehta hai—
"Haan…"
Armaan shock me—
"Ayesha… yeh sach nahi ho sakta…"
Ayesha roti hui—
"Mujhe yaad aa raha hai… maine unhe maara…"
Room me hawa bhaari ho jaati hai…
Armaan dheere se peeche hatne lagta hai…
"Tum… tum killer ho…?"
Ayesha ka dil toot jata hai…
"Main… main nahi thi… mujhe control nahi tha…"
Shadow kehta hai—
"Main tha…"
Ayesha dheere se samajhne lagti hai—
"Tum… mere andar ho…"
Shadow muskurata hai—
"Main tumhara gussa hoon… tumhara dard… tumhara andhera…"
Ayesha ka saans rukne lagta hai…
"Phir… tumne unhe kyun maara…?"
Shadow ka chehra thoda serious ho jata hai—
"Kyuki… unhone tumhe tod diya tha…"
Ayesha ke dimaag me ek aur flash—
💥 Family ka abuse…
💥 Rona… dard… tanhaayi…
Ayesha chup ho jaati hai…
Uski aankhon me aansu aur gussa dono aa jata hai…
"Unhone… mere saath bura kiya tha…"
Shadow dheere se kehta hai—
"Main tumhe bachane aaya tha…"
Armaan beech me chillata hai—
"Yeh justification nahi hai! Murder galat hai!"
Shadow Armaan ki taraf ghurta hai—
"Tum samajh nahi sakte…"
Ayesha confused ho jaati hai…
Ek taraf Armaan…
Ek taraf Shadow…
Dono sach lag rahe the…
Tabhi—
Shadow dheere se kehta hai—
"Ab ek choice hai, Ayesha…"
Room me tension badh jaati hai…
"Ya to tum mujhe accept karo…"
"Ya phir… main sab kuch destroy kar dunga…"
Ayesha ka dil tez dhadakta hai—
"Matlab…?"
Shadow dheere se Armaan ki taraf ishara karta hai—
"Sabse pehle… ise…"
Armaan shock me—
"Kya?!"
Ayesha zor se chillati hai—
"Nahi!!"
Shadow kehta hai—
"Ya to main control lunga…"
"Ya tum khud decide karo…"
Ayesha ke haath kaanp rahe hote hain…
Uski aankhon me aansu…
Aur saamne…
Uski zindagi ka sabse bada decision…
Kya Ayesha apne andar ke shaitaan ko accept karegi…?
Ya Armaan ko bachane ke liye usse ladhegi…?
