Zara (monologue):
Hi Mom… Hi Dad.
You know, today's the first day of school — the beginning of a new session… with old wounds.
But I try. I really do. I try to fight through all of this… because I'm your warrior.
Her eyes brim with silent pain as tears slip down her cheeks while she holds their photo frame.
Auntie Ayesha (shouting):
Girls! Come down, hurry up — you're getting late!
Zara (wiping her tears quickly):
We're coming!
Zoya, Zoya! Wake up — we're getting late!
Zoya (half asleep):
Hmm? Why are you being so noisy?
Zara:
Your mom's already called us three times. Get up, or her secret weapon will fly in!
Zoya:
What are you talking about? She's my mom, not a Don—
Suddenly, a flying slipper hits Zoya's back.
Zoya:
Momm!!
Auntie Ayesha (from outside):
Hurry up! Or you'll see worse!
Zoya (muttering):
You already are...
Auntie Ayesha:
What did you say?
Zoya:
Nothing, Your Majesty! Your humble servant is coming!

[Cut to: The girls rush downstairs, finish their breakfast, and head out for school.]
Zoya (while walking):
Why are you smiling like an idiot?
Zara:
Girl, aren't you excited? We're in 12th now!
Zoya:
New class, same jokers.
Oh look — speak of the devil, and the devil appears...
Sara:
Hi Zara, hi Zoya! Still hanging in there, Zara? After all that bullying last year, I didn't expect you to survive. But hey — you're still standing. Impressive.
Zara's smile fades. Her eyes water as she turns and runs toward the restroom.
Zoya (furious):
You'll pay for this!
Sara (mocking):
Go check on your crybaby cousin!
---
[Cut to: Classroom — everyone is seated.]
Girl 1:
Why's Sara so quiet today?
Girl 2 (teasing):
Probably because her favorite person hasn't arrived yet...
Everyone laughs.
Sara (annoyed):
Shut up, girls.
She thinks silently:
Why hasn't he come yet?
[Suddenly, Zoha storms in and marches toward Sara.]
Zoha:
What's your problem? Why do you keep mocking my sister? Do you even think before spitting poison?
Sara (sarcastically):
Zip it. You forgot what happened last time, baby?
Just then, Zara enters the room.
Zara:
Stop it, Zoha. Go sit down.
Sara (smirking):
Smart move. You know what's good for you.
Zoha (low but firm):
I haven't forgotten anything. And I'll make sure you don't forget either. You'll pay.
Sara:
How dare you—
Teacher (entering):
Enough! Everyone take your seats.
The room falls silent.
Teacher:
Today marks the start of our academic session. To make it more exciting, we have a new student joining us.
Teacher:
Mr. Zayan, please introduce yourself.
Zayan:
Hi everyone. I'm Zayan. I hope we get along well.
[Right after, another boy walks in.]
Wali:
Yeah, and he's my brother. So don't mess with him.
The girls whisper excitedly.
Girl 2:
Oh my God, he's so handsome...
Girl 3:
He's even better than Wali!
Sara (grinning):
Zayan's cute… but Wali Shah hits different.
Teacher:
Class, settle down. Both of you — take your seats.
Zoha (thinking):
Great. Another joker on the deck.
Wali stare at Zara and sit next to Ahmed
Meanwhile zara eyes lock on zayan
Zara thinking : why does he look so similar?
Wali to Ahmed : she is still here.
Ahmed : Of course, by the way there is huge drama before you come.
Wali : Really?
Teacher : Both of you. Be attentive.
[Bell rings. The teacher exits.]
Teacher:
Class dismissed. Good luck this year!

Scene: Corridor After Class
Wali (to teacher as she leaves):
Well, if you teach well, we'll perform well.
Teacher:
Wali, did you just say something?
Wali (grinning):
No ma'am. I said "good luck."
Teacher (sighing):
You haven't changed.
As she walks away, students start whispering again.
Boy 1:
Hey bro, what's up?
Boy 2:
So… you're Wali's real brother?
Zayan (calmly):
Yes. We're twins.
Sara (butting in):
Why are you guys being so noisy?
Wali (pulling Zayan away):
You don't have to explain. Let's go.
Zayan (embarrassed):
Bro, that's rude...
Wali:
Don't overthink it.
As they walk through the hallway, Wali notices Zara standing alone.
Wali:
Zayan, go to the canteen. I'll catch up.
Zayan leaves. Wali approaches Zara.
Boom.
Zara flinches as Wali suddenly appears beside her.
Wali (smirking):
What's wrong? I was just playing.
Zara (nervous):
W-What do you want now?
Wali (stepping closer):
Come on, beautiful...
He grabs her waist, pulling her slightly closer, and whispers:
Wali:
Or should I call you ugly duckling?
Zara pushes him away, eyes wide.
Zara (angrily):
Stay away from me!
Wali (laughing):
That's rude.
But hey — I'll give you credit. I didn't think you'd show up again. You're tougher than I thought.
Zoha arrives, sensing tension.
Zoha:
What happened?
Zara grabs her arm silently.
Zara:
Let's go.

Scene: Outside the School – Later
Sara approaches Zayan with a fake smile.
Sara:
Hi, I'm Sara — Wali's close friend. Strange… he never mentioned you.
Zayan:
Really? That's odd. You say you're close, but he never mentioned you either?
Wali appears and cuts in sharply.
Wail (grabbing Zayan's arm) to sara :
I told you — stay away from him. Let's go.

Scene: Under a Tree – Few Minutes Later
Zayan and Wali stand alone beneath a tree, away from the noise.
Zayan (serious):
What's going on? Why are you acting like this? Are you hiding something?
Wali:
I'm protecting you. You don't know these people — I do. Trust me.
Zayan : wali, but?
Wali cut the sentence
Wali : Just do as I said.
Wali walk away from there
Zayan was confused : what the hell?
Unnoticed, Zoya had been standing behind the tree. She steps out suddenly.
Zoya:
So… you don't even know what your brother's doing?
Zayan (confused):
Sorry… what?
Zoya (grinning):
Ask your brother. Or maybe your sister-in-law?
Zayan:
Wait, what?! I have a sister-in-law?
Zoya (smirking):
Sara. Your brother's "close" friend.
She walks away, leaving Zayan puzzled.

Scene: Outside School Gate
Zoya stands beside Zara, checking her phone.
Zara:
Did you call Uncle Javed? He's usually never late.
Zoya (distracted):
Why does Zayan seem so familiar? Like I've seen him before...
Zara:
Girl, I'm talking to you!
Zoya:
What the hell, why isn't Dad coming?
Zara:
Relax. He must be busy.
A car pulls up.
Zara:
Look — Uncle's here. Let's go.
They get in and leave.

Wali : tea? Sorry I like coffee.
Zayan this time with voice : I know you are hiding something from me.
Wali : really?
Zayan : What going between you and Zara? What your relationship with Sara?
Wali this time with cold expression : stay away from me and my affairs. Because I don't allow anyone to interfere in my personal space.
Wali leave the place.
Zayan( look at his brother) and thinking : He is not like that the way he pretends.
He must be hiding something very big but what?

Okay… I'll explain.
