Scene – Hangout After Exams
Students were gathered in the school ground, laughter echoing everywhere as they prepared for their last hangout together.
Girl 1: I'm so excited for today's party!
Alize: Yeah… but deep down, I'm feeling emotional. This is the last time we'll all be together. After today, everything will change.
Sara: True. But the time we spent together was beautiful, don't you think?
Alize: Yeah. Every memory feels special now.
Girl 2: By the way, where are Zara and Zoya? They still haven't arrived.
Alize: Let me call her.
Alize dialed Zoya's number.
Alize: Hello? Where are you guys?
Zoya (smiling): Just standing behind you.
On the other side, the boys were gathered together.
Boy 1: What happened to you, Ahmed?
Boy 2: Yeah, why are you so quiet today?
Ahmed (smiling faintly): Nothing… I'm just going to miss these days a lot.
Zayan (serious tone): Don't worry. We'll keep in touch.
Ali: Yeah. We'll meet on weekends.
Ahmed: Sure… but what about our cafeteria snacks?
Zayan (raising an eyebrow): Wait—are you seriously worried about snacks?
Ahmed: Of course I am! I'm going to miss them a lot.
Ali (grinning): Jerk. Wait—
Boy 2: Ahmed, run! Before he catches you!
Ahmed: No—no—wait!
Ahmed took off running, Ali chasing him as everyone burst into laughter.
Alize (laughing): Look at those idiots. What are they even doing?
Sara: Yeah! Go, brother—catch him!
Zoya (smiling): Yeah, Ali, come on!
Ahmed (shouting): That's not fair, man!
Ahmed ran faster, Ali chasing him—
suddenly Ali bumped into Wali, and both fell to the ground.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zayan: Bro, are you guys okay?
Ahmed (laughing hard): Hahaha… just look at you two. You look like a couple.
Wali (cold): Shut up. Or I'll shut you forever.
Ali stood up and silently offered his hand to Wali.
Wali looked at it for a second… then ignored it.
He stood up on his own and walked away without a word.
The laughter slowly faded.
Ahmed (awkwardly): Anyway… let's eat some snacks before leaving.
Zayan: Yeah, let's go.
Alize (quietly): I think their matter still isn't settled.
Sara: Hmm… not yet. Anyway, let's go.
A teacher's voice echoed across the ground.
Teacher: Students, gather near the school buses in fifteen minutes. We'll be leaving soon.
The students cheered happily—
but somewhere between the noise and laughter, something had already started to break.
Scene – At the School Buses Area
Teacher: Everyone, make a line properly.
Ahmed (excited): Bro, I'm super duper happy today.
Wali: Why? We're not going to bring your bride with us.
Boy 1: Nice one, bro!
Boy 2: Wali, but he's still single.
Ahmed: Who says? Don't forget—you're also single.
Zayan (smirking): Bro, they're single, not one-sided lovers.
Everyone laughed.
Ali: Oh really? By the way, who's that unlucky girl?
Wali (without hesitation): Your sister.
Ali: What?!
Ahmed (quickly): It's not like that!
Wali: Remember the girl who told you that you look like her brother?
Ali (thinking): Oh… Maya.
Ahmed: Yes! Yes—Maya.
Alize: Ali, the teacher is calling you.
Ali: Coming.
Ali walked away.
Ahmed (lowering his voice): Wali… are you mad?
Wali: Maybe.
Wali walked away without looking back.
Ahmed (muttering): Bro… your brother is totally cracked.
Zayan stared at Wali's retreating figure, his expression unreadable.
Ahmed (quickly, laughing it off): Just kidding. Come on, let's get on the bus before they leave us.
Scene – In the Bus
Teacher: Okay, students, please sit next to your partner.
Wali (smirking): Mam, but… we're single.
The students burst into laughter.
Teacher (rolling her eyes): I'm talking about the seating arrangement, Wali.
Zoya (looking at Zara nervously): Oh, Zara… you know I get motion sickness.
Zara (smiling): Don't worry. I hope we can sit together.
Teacher: Okay, everyone settle down. Make sure you're seated properly with your partner.
The students began moving around, laughing and calling out to each other as they searched for seats.
Scene – In the Bus
Random Girl (to her friend): I hope I get to sit next to Wali.
Zoya (rolling her eyes): Hmm… in your dreams.
Girl: What? Why are you jealous? Didn't you two break up?
Zoya (firm): Listen. Mind your own business, okay?
Sara (calling out): Zoya! Come here—your seat is here.
Zoya turned toward Sara and smiled gently.
Zoya (to the girl): And listen—whatever is going on between me and Wali is none of your business.
She turned—and suddenly bumped into someone.
Zoya: Ah—
Wali: Be careful, girl.
Zoya (annoyed): Don't you have eyes?
Wali (smirking): You never change. Always blaming me.
Zoya: You—forget it. Move aside.
Wali: You're the one standing in my way.
Zoya stepped aside, giving him space.
Zoya: Happy now?
Wali smiled faintly and walked to his seat.
Zara: Zoya! Come sit.
Zoya sat next to Sara.
Zoya (muttering): That brat will never change.
Sara (smiling): Nope. He's just a different person with you.
Sara put on her earphones.
Zoya closed her eyes.
Zara (looking around): Where is he?
Her eyes suddenly landed on Zayan. A smile instantly appeared on her face.
She waved at him.
Zayan smiled back and came to sit beside her.
Zara: Where were you? I was looking for you.
Zayan: I was just checking the other buses.
Zara: Oh… okay.
Zayan placed his jacket carefully between them.
Zara watched him, confused.
Zara: What are you doing?
Zayan (nervous): I—I mean… I thought you might feel uncomfortable, so… I put it here. As a boundary.
Zara looked at his face.
At that moment, Zayan looked innocent—almost like a child.
She gently held his face in her hands.
Zara (smiling): Aww… you're so cute, Zayan.
Zayan froze.
He had never seen this side of her before.
From behind—
Alize: Oh my God.
Zoya: Romantic mode on, huh?
Zara quickly removed her hands.
Zayan pulled his cap down, hiding his face.
Girl: Ooo… someone's blushing hard.
Wali watched them quietly.
His expression was unreadable.
Ali, sitting beside him, spoke softly.
Ali: They look cute, don't you think?
Wali: You're happy… for your ex?
Ali: Yeah. Maybe it's harder for you to move on.
Wali (cold): Love is just a trap.
Ahmed: But who knows… maybe you really fell in love with her.
Wali threw his jacket at Ahmed.
Ahmed: Hey! I'm innocent!
Girl: Ma'am! Wali is misbehaving!
Teacher: Wali? Do you want to cooperate or not?
Wali: It's Ahmed. He's messing with me.
Ali: Yes, ma'am. Wali's right.
Ahmed: You liars—
Teacher: Enough! All of you, quiet!
She looked around strictly.
Teacher: The buses are about to leave. Behave properly.
The engines started.
The bus moved forward—
but inside, emotions were still stuck.
Scene – Reaching the Location
The buses finally reached the campsite.
Teacher: Okay students, come out one by one—and be careful.
The students stepped out happily, laughter filling the air.
Sara: Hey, Wali… Ali… wake up, guys.
Ahmed suddenly clicked a picture.
Sara: What are you doing?
Ahmed (laughing): Just look at them—they look like a lovely couple.
Ali and Wali woke up at the same time.
Ali (to Wali): Move aside.
Wali opened his eyes and saw Ahmed and Sara standing there.
Wali: What?
Ahmed showed them the picture.
Wali: Oh wait—now I won't spare you.
Ahmed ran away, laughing, and Wali chased after him.
Ali (shouting): Good, Wali! Don't leave that jerk!
Sara looked at her brother, smiling.
Sara: So… finally everything is settled between you two?
Ali: Yeah. But he still acts angry with me for hours.
Anyway, let's go.
Scene – Camping Area
The students began arranging their camps.
Zara and Zoya started setting up their tent when Zoya's phone rang.
Zoya: Zara, do this for now—I'll be right back. Dad is calling.
Zara: Okay.
Zoya walked away.
Zara tried adjusting the tent.
Zara: Oh… why isn't it fixing properly?
Zayan: May I?
Zara nodded.
Zayan adjusted the tent easily.
Zara watched him quietly.
Zara (to herself): Zoya is right… you're different from others.
I hope you never change, Zayan.
Zayan: Look—it's done.
Zara: Ah… thank you.
So, do you like camping?
Zayan: Yeah. I used to do it a lot with my mom.
Me, my mom, and my cousins—we always went together.
He paused for a moment.
Zayan (softly): But… after her, everything changed.
Zara: I understand your pain.
Zayan looked into her eyes.
He saw that she understood—truly.
And it hit him harder than he expected.
Zara (pointing): Zayan, look at those mountains. They're so beautiful.
Just like me.
Zayan (smiling): Yeah… they are.
But you're more beautiful than them.
Zara (rolling her eyes): Yes, I know.
Both laughed.
Zayan: Let's fix the tent from the other side.
Zara: Hmm, okay—boss.
Zayan (smiling): You're on fire today.
They laughed together.
But deep down, something still bothered Zayan—
a quiet weight in his chest.
Maybe guilt.
Meanwhile, on the other side…
Ahmed, Ali, Wali, and the other boys were setting up their tents.
Ahmed (stretching): I'm done, man.
Ali: What? I'm not doing this alone.
Boy: Ahmed, you didn't even fix it properly.
Ahmed: I've already done a lot.
By the way, where is Mr. Shah?
Ali looked around.
Ali: Oh… he's on a call. Look.
Ali pointed toward Wali.
Wali on call
Wali: Yes.
Dad: Don't forget why you went there.
Wali: Hmm. I know what I'm doing. Don't teach me, Dad.
Dad: I wish you knew. But you're still a fool…
Just like an idiot.
Wali clenched his jaw.
Wali: Are you done?
Dad: Just do as I said.
Wali ended the call.
He turned—and suddenly bumped into Sara.
Wali: What the hell? Don't you see properly?
Sara: I'm sorry.
Wali (softening): It's okay.
Sara hesitated.
Sara: Not for that…
For whatever I did.
Wali looked at her for a moment.
Wali: Just forget everything.
Live your life.
He walked away.
Sara watched him leave.
Sara (to herself): Why is he always in such a rush?
Scene – Truth and Dare
Evening fell over the campsite.
A bonfire burned at the center as cold wind brushed past them.
The students gathered around the fire, laughing, shivering, alive.
Ahmed: Okay everyone, let's play Truth and Dare. What do you say?
Sara: Yeah! And this time, you speak properly.
Ahmed: I always speak properly.
Alize: Yes… in your dreams.
Everyone laughed.
Ali: Bro, even the girls are against you.
Ahmed: Yeah, yeah. Everyone is happy—let's play.
Zayan spun the bottle.
Zayan: Okay… it's Zara.
Alize: Let me ask. Zara—Truth or Dare?
Zara: Truth.
Alize: Then tell us—define Zayan in one word.
Zara didn't hesitate.
Zara: My life.
Everyone smiled and started teasing them.
But Zayan's smile slowly faded.
He spun the bottle again.
Everyone: Oh—it's Sara!
Ahmed: Sara—Truth or Dare?
Sara: Truth.
Ahmed: Then tell us… what is love to you?
Sara thought for a moment.
Sara: Love… love is not a deal.
It's the most beautiful emotion.
You can't force someone to love you—
but you can still love that one person endlessly, without expecting anything in return.
Wali watched her silently.
Alize: Wow… that sounded philosophical.
She spun the bottle.
Everyone: Zayan!
Zayan: Truth.
Wali leaned forward.
Wali: Let me ask.
What's a deep truth you're hiding from Zara?
A silence fell.
Ahmed: Wali, it's a game. Why are you acting like a secret agent?
Wali (cold): Stay quiet.
Come on, Zayan. Answer.
Zayan looked at Zara.
Before he could speak—
Zara: I trust him.
She turned to Wali.
Zara: He's not a liar like you.
Zara looked back at Zayan.
Zara: He would never betray me.
Not like you did.
Wali's jaw tightened.
Wali: Oh really?
Then be careful, Zara.
Ahmed (standing up): Guys! What are you doing?
We're here to play—not to fight.
Ali: Guys, let's drop this game and start preparing dinner. What do you say?
Zoya: He's right. I'm already hungry.
Alize: Yeah, me too.
Ahmed: Okay, let's do it.
The students begin preparing dinner.
Zayan keeps glancing at Zara.
Zara: Don't think too much about your brother's nonsense. He's just like that.
Zayan suddenly hugs Zara tightly.
Zara hugs him back, surprised.
Zayan (softly): Please… stay with me. Don't leave me.
Zoya: Ah—sorry to interrupt, but the teacher is calling you, Zara.
Zara: Okay.
Zara walks away.
Zoya (to Zayan): Where are you going?
Zayan doesn't respond.
Zoya: Hey… Zayan, wait—
Scene – Conversation Between Brothers
All the boys are together, grilling food.
Ahmed: Just look at these chicken pieces. They smell amazing.
Wali: Of course. Ali made them — they're bound to be good.
Ahmed: Wow… so you guys finally made up?
Wali: Of course. Forget it. Nothing happened earlier, right Ali?
Ali: Yes, boss.
Suddenly, Zayan rushes in and grabs Wali's arm.
Zayan: We need to talk.
Wali: Okay, but—hey, boys, my grill better be waiting for me.
Ahmed: What's going on with them?
Wali turns sharply to Zayan.
Wali: What the hell? Leave me, idiot.
Zayan: Why won't you let it go? That game earlier—
Wali: What game?
Zayan steps closer, his voice low.
Zayan: I know… you know something.
Wali: You're scared.
Zayan: Don't twist this.
Wali (smiles): You should've been scared earlier.
Zayan: What do you know about my past?
Wali (smirks): What do I know?
Wali leans closer, his voice dropping.
Wali: Everything. That night. The accident.
Zayan grabs Wali by the collar. His eyes burn red — fear and rage colliding.
Zayan: This is your last warning, Wali Shah.
Next time, I won't say a single word… and I won't remember that you're my brother.
He shoves him away.
Wali (cold smile): Don't threaten me.
If I get serious, it won't be easy for you.
Zayan: What kind of person are you?
Wali: Me?
Wali steps closer.
Wali: I'm the truth you're running from.
Wali walks away.
Zayan remains frozen, Wali's words echoing inside his head.
Slowly, Zayan drops to his knees.
Tears fall freely.
Zayan (shouting): AHHH!
He slams his fists into the ground again and again.
Zayan (broken): No… no… I won't give up.
Not now. Not like this.
I already lost the woman I loved the most — my mother.
I won't lose Zara.
Not her.
I'll fight for her…
until she tells me to stop herself.
