and get up with a new decision—
in the fight of the future, together, unwavering.
Scene: Alia's loneliness
Alia is looking at the gray sky from the balcony of the VIP room.
Alia (to herself, silently):
"What have I done? This one life, this one hope... and I lost it.
They don't know—Victor, Margaret, ZAINKHA... this child is not just mine, but theirs too.
The result of our deep bond, an invincible relationship.
But I gave up everything... gave up my dream."
Tears well up in Alia's eyes, but she is silent, determined.
Alia (to herself):
"Dad may never understand, that pain of mine...
But I know, one day a fire will truly ignite in the midst of this secret history.
I am not alone... we are together. Just now a little distance, some dark moments."
She raises her hand on the balcony railing and tries to touch the air—as if she wants to touch her lost dreams.
Scene: VIP room of Stella di Mosca, evening
Alia slowly comes out of the balcony. There are signs of worry on her face, a strange glint in her eyes, as if some secret fire is burning inside.
Victor, Margaret, ZAINKHA—all three are sitting on the sofa. No one says anything, they just look at Alia.
Then there is a knock on the door.
A beautiful, silent, neatly dressed maid enters the room. With her is a small girl—5 years old. She is wearing a white frock, has thick black hair, and her eyes are a reflection of Alia's.
The girl looks around quietly, then suddenly runs towards Alia.
Girl (in a soft voice):
"Mama!"
The room is silent for a moment.
Stunned surprise on Victor's face. Margaret's eyes widen. ZAINKHA sits with his head down, as if he knew something.
Alia kneels down.
The child comes and hugs her. Alia holds her with both hands, closing her eyes.
Alia's inner voice (silently):
"I have hidden you for so long...
But I couldn't keep you away.
You are not just mine... you are the fate of all four of us.
My sin, my power... my truth."
There is silence in the room. Everyone is looking—no one is saying anything.
Victor (slowly, in a serious voice):
"Alia... whose child is this?"
Alia stands up. She puts the child beside her.
Alia (in a cold voice):
"This question should have been asked a long time ago, Victor.
Whose child this is—that answer is not for one person.
In this child's blood are the shadows of three people—
you, ZAINKHA, and... Margaret."
Margaret:
"What are you saying, Alia?! How is this possible?"
Alia:
"All of you were a part of my life, a part of my body, my memories, my struggle.
Some part of all of you is in her now.
This is not just genes... this is our history."
ZAINKHA stands up. There are tears in his eyes.
ZAINKHA (slowly):
"I understand now... your silence, your pain, your war."
Victor (surprised):
"You've been carrying this burden alone for so long?"
Alia (with tears in her eyes):
"Yes. Because I knew, none of you were ready.
This child's name is—Aava.
May she not be a reflection of our mistakes—may she be our future."
Scene: Alia's private room, 12 am
Alia slowly enters her room with Aava. The room is half-lit. There is a soft carpet on the floor, and a small child's bed beside it, with a new sheet laid out.
Aava lies quietly on the bed. Her breathing slowly gets heavier—she is falling asleep.
Alia is sitting on one side of the bed. Her hand slowly goes to Aava's head.
Alia (silently, in a soft voice):
"Sleep, my light.
No one will hurt you, as long as I'm here."
Aava sleeps silently.
Just then, Alia's eyes are caught by a small box on the dressing table.
She slowly opens the box—inside are a few old photos, a letter, and a small toy.
She takes the photos in her hand and looks at them one by one—
* A photo: Four teenagers—Alia, Victor, ZAINKHA, Margaret—laughing, in school uniforms.
* Another photo: A small baby—a lost face, tears in Alia's eyes.
Then she takes the letter in her hand. The writing on the letter has faded.
Letter lines (voiceover):
"Alia, if you read this, know—we don't know everything, we don't understand everything.
What you did was not wrong. We just love you."
Tears stream down Alia's face.
I have four children.
Two are the fruit of science and planning,
and two—the creation of love and flesh and blood.
The birth of two of them is behind a lot of politics, a lot of pain,
but I know, one day they will all have to know the truth."**Alia closes her eyes and takes a long breath.
Then she remembers—how her first two children were born artificially.
From the DNA of Victor and Alia, through a special project—they are now 11 and 12 years old.
Scene cut – Morning, VIP room
The first light of the sun slowly touches the window curtains and falls on the bed.
A soft breeze is blowing, and that light is spreading a calm, serene atmosphere inside the room.
Alia slowly opens her eyes and sees—
Victor beside her, in a deep sleep.
One of his hands is wrapped around Alia's waist.
Victor seems not to want to lose Alia even in his sleep.
Alia quietly looks at Victor's face,
with a slight smile on her lips, but with emotion and hesitation in her eyes.
She feels that after all this—
Victor is still that person to her, the one she once loved.
Scene cut.
Next scene:
Beside Alia, Aava sleeps soundly. The room is filled with a new light. The sound of their laughter seems to dispel all fear and uncertainty. Victor touches Alia's back with a soft hand, and Alia leans her head on his shoulder, continuing to laugh. Their laughter seems to reveal a new truth, transcending all the secrets and power games of this VIP suite.
Victor whispers, "Our life is a strange play, Alia."
Alia looks up at him, "And we've kept the most beautiful scenes of that play hidden."
The two of them stay silent, looking at each other. A mixture of past pain, present peace, and countless questions about the future fills their eyes. Looking at Aava's sleeping face, they feel that this little life is the biggest reason for their war. This moment is far more valuable than all their empires, power, and revenge.
Victor gently kisses Alia's hand.
"Now our game is no longer just ours, Alia," he says. "It's a family game now."
Alia nods, there is no more hesitation in her eyes, just a deep resolve. The world around them continues as it always has, but in this moment, everything has changed for them.
They are laughing now, because they know—they must win this war.
