[Scene: Campus Café – Late Afternoon]
The news about his post had quietly spread across the fandom. Speculations ran wild. Was he becoming spiritual? Was it a phase? A PR stunt?
But to Alvira… it felt deeper.
She stared at the post again. The subtle sincerity in his words wasn't something for show. It carried the weight of someone searching.
Zaina (sipping her chai):
"Do you think… you had something to do with it?"
Alvira (startled):
"What do you mean?"
Zaina:
"I mean... you two crossed paths. You told us how he looked at you that day. Maybe that moment stuck with him."
Alvira (whispers):
"I don't want to assume anything. I'm afraid to."
[Scene: His Apartment – Evening]
He sat on the floor. The Qur'an open. The book he'd bought about Islam beside him, with a notebook full of scribbled questions.
He didn't post again after that photo, but his DMs were flooded. Some mocked, some encouraged. But one message caught his eye.
> "If your heart feels peace in a place your ego never imagined, maybe that's where you were always meant to be."
He didn't know who sent it. It was from an anonymous fan account. But the words hit him.
He closed his eyes and remembered her.
The girl with the light scarf. Those eyes. The warmth of stillness she radiated.
[Scene: University Masjid Courtyard – Night]
Alvira sat on the cold bench under the open sky. She didn't want to cry, but emotions poured silently.
Yasmine (joining her):
"You okay?"
Alvira (softly):
"What if this is a test? What if Allah is showing me all this just to see if I'll break my heart again?"
Yasmine:
"Or maybe it's a sign. That all your sujood weren't in vain. Maybe he's walking toward Islam not for you, but because of you. There's a difference."
Alvira:
"If he ever chooses Islam, I want it to be because he found truth in it. Not just… me."
Yasmine (smiling):
"Then you're already halfway to a love story written by Allah."
[Scene: Flashback – His POV, a memory]
He remembers being backstage, exhausted after a rehearsal. Something compelled him to check his DMs.
Thousands of fans.
But that one message kept returning to his thoughts.
"Your heart knows the path. Don't silence it with noise."
He looked up at the ceiling, heart heavy.
Him (thinking):
"I've had everything. Fame. Applause. But never... peace. Until that day. Until that girl."
[Scene: Alvira's Hostel Room – Late Night]
Alvira opens her private journal app and begins writing:
> "I don't know where this journey will take him. But if, in some tiny corner of his awakening, I was a dot of light… I will be forever grateful. Ya Allah, I leave it in Your hands. If it is written, make it beautiful. If not, give me a heart that loves Your will more than mine."
She wipes a tear and smiles.
[Closing Scene: Him – Sitting alone, whispering]
> "Who is Allah? What does it mean… to submit?"
He writes it down in his notebook.
Fade Out.
