Episode 1

Dunk, his father, Anan, called his son nervously.

Yes, dad, what's up? Dunk asked.

Well... you tell him, Anan nudged his wife, Amara.

You always make me do these things, making me the bad guy in front of him, she replied.

Dad, Mom, what's going on? Just tell me directly, Dunk said, trying to ease the tension.

Yeah, why are you both acting so strange? his sister Aadhya asked.

Dunk, don't be upset.....you're not really our son, his dad said, nervously.

Hmm, I know, Dad, Dunk said calmly.

What? He's not my brother? Aadhya shouted.

How did you know? And you never asked about this all these years!" Anan said, surprised.

Why would I ask, Dad? You guys never made me feel like I should. I figured it out on my own, Dunk replied.

Do you know about your real parents then? Amara asked.

No, Mom, I never looked for them, Dunk answered.

Actually, you're my brother's son, Anan explained.

When he went to Z country, he fell in love with a woman named Kanya. They were together for a long time, but her family didn’t accept their relationship. After that, my brother passed away in an accident. We found out she was pregnant with you. She gave birth to you without her family knowing and left you with us.

Many years later, I heard she got married to a man.

Okay, what are you trying to say, Dad? Aadhya asked, now annoyed.

I got a call from her recently. She wants to meet you.

I'm not going, Dunk said immediately.

Please, Dunk, she really wants to see you. You don’t have to stay long, just a year, his mom pleaded.

Mom... are you trying to get rid of me just because I'm not your real son? Dunk's eyes filled with tears.

No, Dunk, it’s not like that. We’re not sending you away. We just want you to visit her for a while, his dad explained.

I’m not going, and that’s final, Dunk said, breaking down as he left the room.

You both made him cry! He’s my brother, don’t send him there! Aadhya shouted.

She misses her first son, dear. We’ll visit him too, don’t worry, his dad reassured.

I’ll go talk to him, Amara said, leaving the room.

Dunk... Mom’s here. Open the door, please, she called softly.
