Title: The Last Delivery
1. Exposition (Introduction)

Characters:
Arif – A struggling food delivery rider.
Mila – A mysterious woman who places a late-night order.
Reza – Arif’s best friend and fellow rider.

2. Rising Action (Building tension and obstacles)
(Introduce complications and increase stakes.)
As Arif rides through the empty streets, the rain gets heavier, and his phone’s GPS starts glitching.
He arrives at an old, dimly lit house. The door is slightly open, but no one answers when he knocks.
He calls Mila. A soft voice whispers, "Come inside. Leave the food on the table."
Hesitant but curious, he steps inside. The house feels cold and abandoned. A single candle flickers on the table.

3. Climax (The turning point and peak tension)
(The protagonist faces their greatest challenge.)
Arif notices an old newspaper on the table with a headline: “Mysterious Disappearance: Woman Vanishes from Her Home”—and the photo is of Mila!
Suddenly, the door slams shut. Footsteps echo upstairs.
He turns around and sees a shadowy figure watching him from the staircase. The voice whispers again, “You shouldn’t have come.”

4. Falling Action (Consequences of the climax)
(Tension starts to resolve, leading to closure.)
Arif stumbles backward, frantically trying to open the door.
Just as he manages to unlock it, he hears Reza’s voice outside, “Arif, RUN!”
He dashes out, breathless, and finds Reza waiting on his bike. They speed away.

5. Resolution (The final outcome)
(Wrap up loose ends and provide closure.)
Back at a tea stall, Arif is still shaking. He checks his phone—the order from Mila never existed.
Reza, pale-faced, mutters, “That house… she disappeared there years ago.”
The rain stops. In the distance, the house’s light flickers off.
