Episode 1: The Storm Before the Fire
📍Location: Abandoned Military Zone | Nightfall
(Gunfire. Shadows. A deadly silence before the storm.)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(whispering, adjusting her camera):
Just a little closer… this will be explosive news!
(She crouched behind a crate, peeking at the shady men exchanging money and weapons. Jackpot! Smuggling, corruption, military involvement—she had it all.)
💥 A gun clicks behind her.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
Deep Voice
(cold, commanding):
Aap apni maut khud dhoond rahi hain?
(Her breath hitched. A strong grip locked around her wrist, yanking her up effortlessly.)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(mumbling, stunned - inner thought in Awadhi):
"Ee ka? Kidnap karat kauno goonwa?"
(What the hell? Is this a kidnapping?)
(She turned—only to be met with a hard chest, sharp jawline, and fierce, calculating eyes. Dressed in military uniform, towering over her like a living storm.)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(scowling, yanking her wrist away):
"Excuse me?! Kaun ho tum? Aur haath chhodo!"
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(low and sharp):
Yeh jagah aapke jaane ke layak nahi hai. Nikliye yahaan se.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(muttering, glaring up at him - inner thought in Awadhi):
Dekh ke laga to nahi raha ki maut aayi hai… bas ek bada ego lekar ek fauj ka aadmi aaya hai.
(Doesn’t look like death arrived… just an army guy with a huge ego.)
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(flinching, panicked): "Oh, sht!"*
(Footsteps. Angry voices. The men had seen them.)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(gritted teeth, pulling her closer):
Chup rahiye!
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(muffled against his chest, voice full of attitude):
Mujhe chup rehna nahi aata, General Saheb.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(annoyed, deadpan):
Toh aadat badal lijiye.
💥 Another gunshot whizzed past.
💨 Before she could react, she was airborne.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(flailing, wide-eyed):
AREY! KYA KAR RAHE HO?!
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(carrying her effortlessly, running):
Aapko bachane ka kaam."
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(muttering, hitting his shoulder - inner thought in Awadhi):
"Aree hamra taang abhi bhi kaam karat hai! Jamin pe rakho!"
(Hey, my legs still work! Put me down!)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(gruffly, dodging bullets):
Kya aapke pair bulletproof hain?
(Silence. The man had a point. But did he really have to carry her like a sack of rice?)
💓 A second stretched too long.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(internally panicking - inner thought in Awadhi):
Ee ka ho raha…? Ee insaan kaahe aisan dikhat hai? Ee eye contact ka tension kaa hai?
(What’s happening…? Why does this man look like that? And why is this eye contact so intense?)
💥 Finally—cover. The gunfire stopped.
(He set her down, eyes still burning into hers. For a moment, she forgot to blink.)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(low, dangerous tone):
Agar dobara yahaan dikhi toh...
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(raising an eyebrow, crossing arms):
Toh kya? Jail bhej doge?
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(clipped tone, eyes sharp):
Nahi. Tumhari investigation yahin khatam kar dunga.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(mock gasp, hand on chest):
Bhai re! Kitna dara dete ho, General Saheb!
(His jaw clenched. She was mocking him. Instead of fear, she was having… fun?)
💥 And for the first time, General Ehsaan Raghuvanshi felt like he had met his match.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(panting, still in shock, muttering in Awadhi):
Ee kaisan fasaad mein fas gaili?
(What kind of trouble have I fallen into?)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(folding arms, unimpressed):
Kya soch kar aayi thi yahaan?
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(rolling her eyes, dusting herself off):
News cover karne, mujhe nahin pata tha ki army wale bhi news ban sakte hain.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(glaring, stepping closer):
News? Tumhe samajh bhi hai ki yeh jagah tumhare liye kitni dangerous thi?
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(mocking tone):
Haan, samajh gayi jab aap mujhe bhaagte bhaagte utha le gaye.
(He clenched his jaw. She wasn’t scared of him—she was mocking him.)
💥 A soldier interrupted, saluting.
Soldier
Sir, area secure hai. Par madam yahan kyun thi?
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(gritting teeth, eyes still locked on Ishani):
Bina permission ghus aayi thi.
Soldier
(raising an eyebrow): "Toh arrest karein?"
💥 For the first time, Ishani felt nervous.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(stammering):
Arre, arre! Arrest kyun?! Main journalist hoon, terrorist nahi!
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(smirking slightly): "Toh chhod doon?"
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(narrowing eyes):
Haan, kyunki main bina permission aayi thi, aap bhi bina permission mujhe utha le gaye!
Soldier
Coughed to hide a laugh.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(expression darkening, stepping even closer):
Agar phir se yeh stupidity ki toh next time arrest karwa doonga.
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(muttering in Awadhi):
Ee fauji toh dusman se zyada khatarnak lagat hai.
(This soldier is scarier than the actual enemy.)
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
Smirked.
Ehsaan Raghuvanshi (ML)
(mocking tone):
Kuch kaha?
Ishani Gupta(FL)
(fake smile):
Kuch nahi, Major Saheb.
(Her voice was sweet, but her eyes screamed rebellion.)
💥 A new war had just begun.
