INT. OFFICE LOBBY – DAY
Rozze forces her way through the crowd.
Her heels stop.
Ahead of her —
a man in a formal suit, standing still.
Back facing her.
Something tightens in her chest.
(FOOTSTEPS ECHO — sharp, controlled)
She grips the bouquet.
ROZZE
(low, hesitant)
Mr. Rahil?
The man turns.
Not who she expected.
Young. Calm. Observant.
A pause.
JACK
I'm Jack.
CEO Mr. Rahil's assistant.
Rozze exhales — disappointed at herself.
ROZZE
Director Rozze Miren. IT.
They shake hands.
Jack studies her face for a second too long.
JACK
That name…
I've heard it before.
He walks away.
Rozze watches him — uneasy.
INT. MEETING HALL – DAY
Silence.
Then footsteps.
A man stands at the front — confident, composed.
Tie adjusted. Jaw tight.
SAIM
Good morning.
I'm Saim Rahil.
Your new CEO.
Applause.
But his eyes scan the room —
searching.
SAIM
Before we begin…
I want to meet every director.
INT. ROZZE'S CABIN
Rozze sits at her desk, going through files.
(KNOCK)
ROZZE
Come in.
An employee steps inside.
EMPLOYEE
Director Rozze… weren't you supposed to be in the meeting?
Rozze looks up — shocked.
ROZZE
Meeting?
Oh no…
INT. MEETING ROOM – CONTINUOUS
Introductions end.
JIYA
Director Jiya. IT Department.
Saim nods — then stops.
SAIM
There's one more.
(KNOCK)
The door opens.
Rozze steps in quietly, avoiding eye contact, sits beside Jiya.
Saim sees her.
His fingers dig into the chair handle.
Breath caught.
Jiya nudges her.
Rozze stands.
ROZZE
Director Rozze Miren.
She looks up.
Their eyes collide.
Silence crashes into the room.
ROZZE
(shaken)
You…?
Her voice breaks.
Jiya pulls her down.
Whispers spread.
Saim doesn't blink.
FLASHBACK – 7 YEARS AGO
📸 Camera flash.
College photo.
Laughter.
Wedding bells.
Rings exchanged.
Office desks.
Hard work. Recognition.
A jealous gaze watching from afar.
INT. FAMILY HOUSE – NIGHT
Dinner table.
Warm laughter.
DOORBELL — loud, sudden.
Two police officers.
OFFICER
Mr. Faish Rahil, you're under arrest.
Glass slips from Rozze's hand —
SHATTERS.
Faish's father collapses into his chair.
Handcuffs click.
FAISH
(to Rozze)
Trust me.
She nods — broken.
Door shuts.
Silence screams.
INT. ROZZE'S BEDROOM – NIGHT (WEEKS LATER)
Rozze lies awake, staring at the ceiling.
She picks up her phone and calls Ryan.
ROZZE
Why aren't you doing anything?
Why can't I meet Faish?
RYAN (PHONE)
I'm trying…
But I think I know who's behind this.
The call disconnects.
INT. COMPANY CABIN – DAY
Ryan storms in, slamming the door.
Faish's brother, Maish, looks up.
MAISH
No one ever taught you how to knock?
RYAN
Why are you doing this?!
MAISH
Doing what?
RYAN
Faish's arrest.
Blocking our access to him.
Maish stands up angrily.
MAISH
Do you even hear yourself?
He's my brother!
Tears well up in his eyes.
MAISH
Do you know how hard he worked?
Like an ordinary employee — for his career.
Ryan looks away, guilty.
RYAN
I'm sorry…
Everything happened so fast.
INT. HOSPITAL – DAY (MONTHS LATER)
Rozze walks out after a checkup.
A voice calls out—
RYAN
Rozze!
She turns, smiling.
They sit at a café nearby.
Ryan struggles to speak.
RYAN
He's…
He's dead.
The coffee cup slips from Rozze's hand and shatters.
Just like her heart.
BACK TO PRESENT – MEETING ROOM
Rozze stares at the man she buried.
Alive.
Watching her.
Breathing.
ROZZE (V.O.)
They told me he was dead.
But the truth…
was standing right in front of me.
Saim finally looks away.
War has begun.
"They said he was dead.
But death had only taught him how to come back."
