[ Raina's Room - Late Afternoon ]

Raina is sketching, but her lines are shaking. Every time she draws the man's eyes, she gets chills down her spine.

[ Phone Vibrates - Massage from Unknown ]📱

Unknwn person

It's time to meet me. Tonight the same café you painted last year. 7:00 PM. Come alone.

Raina Mitra | FL

(staring at screen) That cafe ? But its Shut down 10th months ago...

[College Campus - With Disha ]

Disha | Raina's best friend

(raising an Eyebrow) What... what do you mean someone invited you to a shut-down cafe.

Raina Mitra | FL

It sounds stupid, I know. But... I think, I have been there before... with him.

Disha | Raina's best friend

You mean your Mysterious ghost-boy ? Raina, this is How horror movies start. Don't go.

Raina Mitra | FL

What if this isn't horror. What if it's...a forgotten love? (softly)

....

Sunset - Abandoned Cafe {Golden Hour Glow}

Raina walks into the broken courtyard of the Cafe. Dust floats like glitter in the Orange light. But there's a table... with two Cups a warm coffee already placed. No one's around... Suddenly... A note on the table-signed with a charcol smudge.

“You used to me like the sun. let me See it again tonight.”

Raina Mitra | FL

( Raina's breth catches. Her hands trembles And then-she hears footsteps.)

Unknown Person

( Voice from the shadow.) You came just like before.

Raina Mitra | FL

( Raina turns slowly... her heart pounding.)

Unknown Person

(A man stands at the edge of the light-face hidden by the dying sun but his presence so... familiar.)

............................................. Moments Later - silence between them.

Unknown Person

You painted me from memory_ But your heart painted me from love.

He hands her a folded leter. Old, stained, edges burnt.

Raina Mitra | FL

( Raina opens it, it's in her own hand writting.)

Leter : “ If I ever forget you- Bring me back through art. Because love...always remember.”

Raina Mitra | FL

( Her eyes widen with tears.)

___________

Raina's day was going well, that Unknown person had no contact with Raina. After several days...

It was { 3:07 AM }

The room was silent, expect for the slow hum of the city outside and the light topping of her fingers on the wooden floor. She sat cross-legged, starring at the mirror. The painting behind her had dried, but the figure's eyes looked... open now.

There was no text no message.

A knock... One, soft, deliberate knock at the door.

Her heart stopped.

Another knock. (Louder)

Raina Mitra | FL

(She grabbed A blade from her Art drawer, walked slowly, breath shallow.) (She open the door...)

Unknown Person

( He was standing there.)
