Scene 01 : The Weight of the Moment

Next day  early morning, The sun is barely peeking over the horizon, casting a soft golden hue over the surroundings.

Sathya sits on the balcony, his eyes distant, deep in thought about the previous night's events with Sakshi.

The air is cool, but the tension from the night before lingers.

Sakshi walks out of the house, carrying two cups of coffee. She approaches quietly, placing the coffee on the table beside him.

Sakshi 
(calmly) 
Take this coffee.. Sathya.

She sets the cup down and turns to leave, her steps soft on the cold floor

Sathya 
(softly, guilt in his voice) 
I'm sorry, Sakshi.

Sakshi 
(stopping in her tracks, turning slightly) 
For what?

Sathya 
(sighing, eyes downcast) 
Last night...

Sakshi 
(turning fully now, her face calm) 
It's okay... I understand. 

She offers a small, understanding smile before turning to walk away again.

Sathya 
(rising to his feet quickly) 
Sakshi... 

He walks up to her, gently taking her hands in his.
 
Thank you... for understanding.

Sakshi 
(speaking softly, her eyes meeting his, a quiet intensity)

What you gave me last night, those moments, they're enough, Sathya.

For the first time, my body knows what a real man's touch feels like. And your words... your love... Now I understand what true love is. 

(Her gaze locks with his, a deep sincerity in her eyes.)

Sathya 
(sincerely, but with a soft smile) 
I'll always be here for you, as a good friend, Sakshi.

Sakshi 
(softly, but with firm affection) 
Not just a friend, Sathya... you're my love too.

She leans in and gently kisses him on the forehead.

Sakshi
Get ready soon, we need to start the case investigation.
 
She gives him a smile before turning and walking away.

Sathya watches her leave, feeling the warmth of her kiss linger.

He slowly returns to his chair, sipping his coffee in silence, his mind lost in thought, trying to make sense of everything.

The cool morning breeze brushes past him as he stares into the distance, thinking about what comes next.

The atmosphere shifts as the quiet morning transitions into action.
