Death and Return
INT. LUXURY MANSION – NIGHT – PAST LIFE
AARYA (35) lies bleeding on the marble floor. Her expensive jewelry is smeared with blood. ARJUN stands above her, heartless.
ARJUN
(leaning down, cold)
Thanks for the property, love. Sab kuch le liya tumse.
SUHANI (smirking)
She didn’t even see it coming. Kitni dumb thi na? Typical rich fool.
AARYA (weak, gasping)
Tum dono... tum logon ne mujhe...
ARJUN
Used you? Of course. Tum jaise log sirf use hone ke liye hote ho.
AARYA
(staring into his eyes)
Main wapas aungi... aur sab barbaad kar dungi.
WHITE FLASH
INT. TEENAGE BEDROOM – EARLY MORNING
AARYA (17) jolts awake, sweaty. She gasps. Looks at her hands.
AARYA (V.O.)
Mere haath... Yeh mera purana kamra hai? School bag bhi... I’m back. Main seventeen hoon!
INT. MANSION HALLWAY – MOMENTS LATER
Aarya walks cautiously. She sees SHANKAR (driver) park the car. KAMLA (maid) comes from inside.
AARYA (V.O.)
Yeh dono... Arjun ke maa-baap? Yeh toh hamare yahan kaam karte hain!
She freezes as ARJUN (17) walks in through the servant gate, wearing a branded blazer and sunglasses, acting like a guest.
AARYA (V.O.)
Aur yeh fir se acting kar raha hai? But not this time... This time, I’m ready.
SMASH CUT TO BLACK.
