[ BEDROOM – NIGHT – 11:48 PM]
Lights off. Alvira lies under her blanket, phone brightness dimmed to minimum. Earphones plugged in, volume low, heart pounding.
Alvira (whispering to herself):
"Just one more clip… then I'll sleep."
She scrolls past a random video… and pauses. There he is again. Taejun. Hair messy, hoodie on, laughing softly into the camera.
Alvira (smiling to herself):
"You again… are you following me or what?"
She replays the 30-second clip four times. Then taps download. The video saves into a hidden album on her phone — protected by app lock.
[ KITCHEN – NEXT MORNING – 6:30 AM]
Mother (off-screen):
"Alvira, namaz ka waqt nikal raha hai!"
Alvira (quickly locking her phone):
"Ji Ammi, coming!"
She hides her phone under her prayer mat and makes wudu. During sujood, her eyes sting unexpectedly.
Alvira (voiceover):
"Ya Allah… I know this is silly…
But if You ever write him in my destiny, I will never ask for anything else."
A single tear slides down her cheek. She wipes it before anyone sees.
[BEDROOM – EVENING – ALVIRA & HER YOUNGER SISTER]
Younger Sister (teasing):
"You locked your gallery, didn't you?"
Alvira (pretending to be annoyed):
"Nope. Why would I?"
Younger Sister (smirking):
"Because you've saved 104 pictures of him like he's your boyfriend."
Alvira (playfully covering her face):
"Shhh! Someone will hear you!"
Younger Sister (giggles):
"I won't tell Ammi. But seriously… you like him that much?"
Alvira (softly):
"More than I should."
[ ALVIRA'S ROOM – LATE NIGHT – LIVE STREAM TIME]
She sits cross-legged, waiting for the band's livestream to begin. The notification pops up:
📢 "Taejun is now live."
Alvira's breath catches. She rushes to plug in her earphones, tapping on the heart emoji like her life depends on it.
Taejun (from the screen, smiling softly):
"Hi everyone. Are you doing okay?"
Alvira (murmuring to the screen):
"I'm fine now."
She types quickly:
> @alvi_moon: "Taejun, I love you... you saved me without knowing."
@alvi_moon: "Say my name just once."
@alvi_moon: "Please, just smile again."
Thousands of comments flood in. Hers disappears within seconds.
Alvira (smiling sadly):
"You'll never see me, will you?"
He waves to the camera.
Taejun (live):
"I hope… wherever you are, you're smiling too."
Alvira (tearing up):
"Too late… I'm already crying."
[ SCHOOL – CLASSROOM – DAY]
During free period, Alvira doodles his name in her notebook in tiny, hidden letters. She glances around to ensure no one sees.
Alvira (voiceover):
"My friends talk about TV shows, actors, even boys in school.
I just stay quiet… how do I tell them my heart belongs to a boy on a stage thousands of miles away?"
[ BEDROOM – NIGHT – PHONE LOCKED]
Alvira scrolls through her hidden gallery. His smile. His stage photos. Fan-edits. Her favorite fancam where he looked into the crowd and smiled.
Alvira (voiceover):
"They call it delusional.
But when I see him, I feel calm.
I imagine he's calling me after a long day.
I whisper goodnight like he's really there."
She sets a new wallpaper: Taejun looking down, soft eyes, as if gazing at her.
Alvira (smiling):
"You're not even the most handsome guy in the world… but somehow, you're everything."
[ BEDROOM – PRAYER TIME – SUJOOD]
Alvira prays quietly, whispering things no one else hears.
Alvira (sujood whisper):
"Ya Allah… I know he's not from our faith…
but maybe one day… maybe if he learns… if he sees the truth…
if it's written... let him find it.
And if not—please protect my heart from this love."
[ LIVING ROOM – FAMILY TIME]
Her parents discuss politics, rishtas, upcoming exams. She listens, present physically, but miles away mentally.
Alvira (voiceover):
"To them, I'm just a schoolgirl preparing for boards.
To me, I'm already someone's bride in my dreams.
A future that may never exist…
But I live it every single night."
[FINAL MONOLOGUE – ALVIRA'S JOURNAL ENTRY]
> "Dear Taejun,
You don't know me.
You'll probably never even hear my name.
But I love you in the purest way I know .....
In sujood. In silence. In the safest parts of my heart."
"Yours secretly,
Alvira."
