Episode 7 — What Remained Within
429 Words
🔸 Scene 1: (Morning – Ayesha’s Room)
Morning light peeks through the window.
Ayesha sits calmly on her bed, lost in thought.
Her diary lies open in front of her. The pen moves — not guided by hand, but by the heart.
Ayesha (thinking):
Faris… you were the truth.
But when did I drift so far from myself… that I even forgot you?
Her phone buzzes.
Notification:
What remains now… is inside you.
But to find it, you must ask yourself the questions.
🔸 Scene 2: (University – The Old Library)
Ayesha walks into the deserted section of the university library —
A place she faintly remembers sitting in with Faris.
She sits at a table.
Takes out a blank page.
Writes a single question:
“Why did I forget you?”
At that moment, an old register falls from the bookshelf.
She picks it up — it opens to a page that reads:
“Sometimes, truth isn’t a memory — it’s a wound the mind protects itself from.”
🔸 Scene 3: (Flashback – Journey Within the Mind)
Ayesha closes her eyes.
We see her in a foggy realm — a space that exists within her.
There, she meets three versions of herself:
Child Ayesha:
The one who was afraid of the world.
Teenage Ayesha:
The one who preferred silence to words.
Present Ayesha:
The one finally seeking the truth.
The three stand in a circle.
Child Ayesha:
You gave Faris a place in your heart… when you couldn’t give it to anyone else.
Teen Ayesha:
And then you buried it all… to protect yourself.
Present Ayesha:
So Faris… wasn’t just a person, was he?
He was that part of me… I tried to hide from myself.
🔸 Scene 4: (Return – Back in the Library)
Ayesha opens her eyes.
This time, there are tears — but not of sorrow.
They are tears of recognition.
A new message appears on her phone:
Now you know…
Faris was the echo of your soul that you never let complete itself.
🔸 Scene 5: (Night – Between Dream and Reality)
Ayesha lies in bed.
Her eyes closed, but a soft glow falls on her face —
As if the darkness inside her is beginning to lift.
One final message appears:
Now life is in your hands.
Will you become someone who knows yourself fully?
Or someone still searching for another?
Ayesha (whispering in her heart):
I’m not searching anymore…
Because I’ve found myself.

Sometimes, it hides within us.
