Episode 3 — The First Encounter
631 Words
🔸 Scene One: (Morning – Ayesha’s Room)
Soft morning light enters the room. Ayesha lies on the bed, half-awake. Her diary is open with the pen stuck mid-sentence. The phone, lying at the edge, glows faintly — still waiting for a new notification.
Ayesha (softly, to herself):
Last night’s message…
"The first encounter awaits you."
I don’t understand...
Did he leave behind some sign of his presence?
She tries to unlock her phone — but no new notification.
She takes a deep breath — it doesn’t feel like a normal morning.
🔸 Scene Two: (University – Courtyard/Garden)
Ayesha is sitting on a park bench inside the university, head bowed in thought.
She keeps turning on her phone screen repeatedly — perhaps waiting for something.
Coincidentally, the boy in black comes and sits on the bench across from her — he’s reading a book, but his eyes briefly rise and meet hers before looking away again.
Her heartbeat quickens. A strange weight presses on her chest.
Ayesha (in her mind):
He disappeared yesterday…
Then how did he suddenly appear again so close?
She’s curious… and a bit afraid — but she gathers courage and stands up to go near him.
🔸 Scene Three: (University – Their First Exchange)
Ayesha approaches the boy cautiously, but her steps pause — her words freeze in her chest.
Ayesha (softly):
Excuse me… are you… I mean… are you him?
The boy looks up. Silence.
Boy (calmly):
Me?
(pauses)
I… am not him.
Ayesha (surprised):
Not… him?
Then… was it you who sent me the message or called me last night?
He looks at her for a few moments, then takes out his phone — and locks the screen silently.
Boy:
Whatever’s happening… I’m nearby.
(smiles, but there’s something strange about it)
But perhaps… the story goes beyond this.
He gets up and walks away.
Ayesha remains there, stunned and confused.
🔸 Scene Four: (Afternoon – Library)
Ayesha sits at a library desk, taking notes.
A whispered memory rings in her ears: "The truth is searching for you."
She puts her hands over her ears — there’s no sound — but her heartbeat feels loud and fast.
A new notification appears on her phone:
"Recognition stands before you…
After that, the path will choose itself."
Her heart begins to race — but there’s no call, only a message.
🔸 Scene Five: (Evening – Way Home)
Ayesha walks home in the cool, dim light of evening.
Her mind is spinning — everywhere she sees flashes of the boy in black, and the chain of messages.
Suddenly, someone lightly bumps into her from behind — she turns.
No one there — but... was it his voice that whispered something?
Suddenly the phone rings — "Unknown Number".
Ayesha (to herself):
I… am ready.
As she answers the call, a soft yet clear voice speaks:
Voice:
Your first meeting already happened yesterday…
Now it’s time for the next recognition.
Tonight at 9 PM — the place where everything began…
The first step will become the path to your search.
The call ends.
🔸 Scene Six: (Night – Ayesha’s Room)
8:45 PM. Ayesha sits with her hand on her temple, deep in thought —
“Should I go?”
There’s no “Life Line” icon on her phone — but the question keeps circling her mind:
Can I really discover the self I lost?
Ayesha (addressing her heart):
Last night was a beginning… and even tonight I’m still waiting.
If I have the courage to walk this path… then all that’s left is to step forward.
She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes — mentally preparing herself.
