Soleil who was lying in her coma state on bed suddenly she feel extreme headache. 'What is going on.... WHY THIS HEADACHE... IT HURTS.... IT HURTS...' as she was feeling pain, the silent scream was echoed in her void conscious mind, which was unbearable.
'Is this how I am going to die...'
The agony was relentless, and she had no way to cry out, no way to let anyone know.

Doctor came quickly, examine her condition and trying her to control it. Her Machines beeping staccato. The room was fill with doctors chaos,

"Her condition is not stable shift her OP..." A doctor barked.

Soleil breathing were unstable, heart rate dropping rapidly.

'IT HURTS, death hurts... so much...'
As her bed was shifting into another room. In the way Soleil mother and father both were asking questions from doctors of her condition.
"What happened to her...?"
"Why you are moving her...?"
"DOCTOR!"
Their question were gone in vain as doctor rushed inside the OP without answering their questions.

But doctor themselves trying to figuring out her condition. As her bed went inside operation theater, suddenly her breath which was heavy a moment ago was now not heavy her heart beat is not moving like unusual like before, the machine stopped beeping and the green line on the monitor flattened into a cold, unbroken signal of finality. At the end her body became cold and she left this world with pain and grief. Soleil died in the operation theater.

As Soleil opened her eyes she found herself standing in the middle of nowhere there was nothing but silence. The water she is standing she couldshe her reflection, her surrounding is like a different dimension.
'Is this after life... am I really dead'
As she move further, she saw someone standing.
"Excuse me..." Soleil asked the person standing in front of her. The girl turn back sees Soleil.
"Hey... (she hold Soleil hands) do you know what place is this..." girl asked Soleil.
"Did you also wish to end your life...?" She asked calmly.
After thinking for a moment the girl said, "No...I didn't" She looked at Soleil with confusion.
"Who are you..." girl added.

"I... maybe it's not use to know my name" Soleil said.
"My name is Anu..." Anu said.
"How how did you die?"
In shock, "DIE, ME, NEVER. I don't remember what happened... I had a argument with my mother at home so I went back in my room....(she is trying to recall what happened before she end up here) then I fall asleep." She paused for a moment trying to remember the incident, suddenly she clicked, "yeah, yeah remember. When I woke up I was still feeling angry so I end up destroying my own metal and awards... then something hit maybe one of the trophies or maybe a box... I don't remember but i am sure something hit my head." Anu feeling feel easy after telling Soleil waht happene, she added, "But I am sure I am not dead, I built strong." She said with full confidence.

"So, you never wish to die...?" Soleil questioned her.

"No... I never wish to die..." she pause for a sec. " but I wish to never live my life... I wanted a change..."

"Oh!..." Soleil said understanding her situation with her gloomy face.
"So... sis, how did you end up here?"
"I. I died."

"WHAT!?" In shock Anu said. She said while freaking out. "You mean I am also dead? (Holding her shoulders, shaking them) am I in heaven or in hell?"
"I don't know... maybe this is after life..." Soleil said.

Anu freaking out, "What is a afterlife...? Is God punishing me... hell noooo....!?" She crouched down, gripping her head as if trying to squeeze clarity from the chaos of her thoughts.

"People says when some one dies they remember everything they have been gone through in their lives..." She stand up in frustration, "BUT I DIDN'T RECALL ANY MEMORIES OF MY PAST. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD?" Her breathing grew heavy, her chest heaving with the weight of her outburst.

As she was arguing with Soleil, whether she is alive or dead. And the confusion of landing on the unknown place which does not have nothing. As much as they try to look far they only see the horizon. The water beneath them shows their reflection and the sky caste red light and the smogy environment.

Suddenly, they feel something, Shaky underneath. As Soleil try to figuring it our,
"It's an earthquake!" Anu shouted. She hold Soleil hand and started running opposite direction from the earthquake.

"I don't want to fight!" Anu screamed into the void, her voice carrying all the indignation of someone who refused to accept their fate. "I'm not interested in battling monsters, or saving worlds, or—whatever this is! I didn't sign up for any adventure!"

Slowly the land they were standing on before was broken and fell down. They both were running with their full strength, not wanting to fell down.

As they were running the land beneath them also broke and they fell.
They are falling.
"Ahhhhh...." Both scream.
"WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO MEEEE...?" Anu scream.
They are still falling.
...
Still falling.
"How long are we supposed to fall...?" Anu scream again. 'I feel like vomiting' She said to herself.

Scene shifted to the hospital where Soleil body laying cold. Doctor take a big sigh before getting out from the Operation theater.
"Doctor how is our doctor...?" Soleil's Father asked. He was looking place as if he didn't eaten nor get proper sleep in days. His wife was so weak, thar she couldn't able to walk, she was sitting on the chair.
"Sir, I am sorry.... we couldn't save your daughter." Doctor said leaning his head down.
Those words from the doctor's mouth shock both parents, they were heart broken, desperate.
"Doctor please check her again... maybe you got wrong report." Father's hands were trembling as he hold doctors hands.
Doctor calmly hold his hand, "Sir, I understand how you feel... but this is the truth. Please calm yourself." He look at his wife. "Your wife needs you at this critical situation."
Soleil's mother sat frozen, her wide, unblinking eyes staring into a void only she could see. Her lips moved mechanically, a whispered mantra spilling out in a broken rhythm. "My daughter isn't dead… They're lying… She's alive. My Soleil is alive…" Over and over.

Soleil's Father stand besides his wife, sob muffled against his hand. Trying hard to stop himself from crying, he crouched down, gripping his head, crying his tears fall on the hospital white marble floor. He can't, he does not have the will to care his wife in this situation who was still mummering.

Other patients and nurses saw them, they feel sad for them, some pray to god. Some kind soul come to comfort them, to console them. But those grieving parents cannot hear others voice as in their head the voice of doctor words still echoing. 'We couldn't save your daughter.' The words repeatedly echoed into their heads.

Doctor bring the body outside the operation theater. As father saw the bed for her daughter, he slowly gets up from his chair, approaching it. His body still trembling.
"No... no... my daughter can't be dead." His cry fill the corridor. As he hugged Soleil's body. Soleil's mother gets up from her chair, approached to her daughter body. She stared at Soleil's pale face, her trembling hands brushing against her cheek. Suddenly, she crumbled, her cries piercing the silent corridor. Hugging Soleil's body, she kissed her daughter's forehead over and over. Trying to wake her up.
"Dear... look, your mother..." she was stuttering while saying.

Both parents sitting besides her motionless body, crying, blaming themselves, cursing God for this mishappening.

As they were grieving, suddenly Soleil sit down on bed holding her head as it was hurting. "Kay ho raha hai... [What's going on [translation hindi]]?"

Seeing her awake and fine. Soleil's parents hugged her, now the tears which was of sadness turns to happiness. Doctor were shocked too seeing her alive when they themselves checked her dead. One person who was comforting Soleil's parents, fainted after seeing a dead person come to life. It became a hot topic in the hospital.
"It's miracle that she is alive."

"App log Kaun hai... [Who are you people]?" Soleil asked.
"What happened dear... what are you saying..." her mother asked.
"Why everyone speaking in English?"
"What?" Her parents were shocked as they heard this.

Anu is an ordinary student with an extraordinary struggle: her weight. Though she’s never outright bullied, she feels the quiet distance and unspoken judgments of her peers, leaving her lonely in a sea of faces. Across the world in Calonia, Soleil (pronounced soh-lay) faces a far harsher reality. Ruthlessly bullied at school, her tormentors’ cruelty culminates in her being pushed from the rooftop. Soleil survives but is left physically and emotionally scarred, spending three long months in the hospital. Her spirit broken, she teeters on the edge of despair, questioning if life is worth living.

Both girls, oceans apart, are burdened by depression and a longing for escape.

One fateful day, their lives take an unimaginable turn—they wake up in each other’s bodies. Anu now in Soleil's body and Soleil in Anu's body. let's see how's their new life start...
