Episode 1 (Isolation & Loneliness)
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(The house felt colder than usual. Everyone seemed to avoid me today—like I was invisible, or worse… unwanted. Tanya had that smirk on her face, the one that said she hated me without even saying a word.)
Tanya kapoor ( Fl step sister)
(Whispering to Meera):
“Can you believe she actually thought she’d sit at the table with us? Gross.”
Meera kapoor ( Fl step sister)
(Hesitant):
“Just… ignore her, Tanya. Don’t make it worse.”
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking quietly, bitterly):
Ignore her? I’ve tried for years. It never changes. Nobody wants me here. Not my step-family… not my father… not even Aarav.
(Anaya sits at the edge of the breakfast table. Everyone else laughs, talks, and pretends she isn’t there.)
Rajeev kapoor ( Fl biological father )
(distracted):
“Pass the salt, Arjun… oh, Anaya, your toast?”
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking): I don’t even want it. Nobody cares anyway.
The walk to school was quiet. No one called out to me. No friendly nods. Even Aarav’s group… they barely looked my way. My childhood friend, my mountain, seemed distant too.
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking): Did I do something wrong? Or is this… just who I am? Alone?
Classroom Scene – whispers around her:
Tanya kapoor ( Fl step sister)
(smirking, to a friend):
“Look at her… sitting there like she owns the place. Ugh, I can’t stand her.”
Kunal Sharma ( Fl step brother)
“She seems… quiet today. Whatever. Doesn’t bother me.”
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking): Quiet… they always use that word. As if being invisible is my fault.
Anaya eats alone, her lunch untouched by anyone else.
Tanya kapoor ( Fl step sister)
( loud, passing by):
“Why is she always sitting alone? Even food smells better when she’s not around.”
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking, hurt): Even my breath is offensive to her. Maybe I’m better off disappearing.
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking): And Aarav… my childhood friend… he’s changed. He doesn’t laugh at my jokes. He doesn’t check if I’m okay. Even he keeps his distance, like I’m a stranger now.
Arav Mehra ( Ml )
(thinking silently, standing across the hall):
I shouldn’t get involved… she’s not my responsibility anymore. But… it hurts seeing her like this.
Tanya kapoor ( Fl step sister)
“She’s so… pathetic sometimes. Why does he even notice her?”
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking, feeling alone): Even the person I trusted the most… my Aarav… seems miles away. Maybe I’m meant to be alone.
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(thinking, sitting under a tree):
I’ve tried so hard to fit in… to please my step-family, to be someone I’m not. But nothing works. Tanya hates me. Everyone else avoids me. Even Aarav, my best friend since childhood, seems like he’s on another planet. Maybe being alone is all I deserve.
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
(whispering to herself):
I wish… someone could see me… just me. Not this… unwanted… broken me.
(A bird lands nearby. Anaya watches it fly off, feeling a tiny flicker of hope that maybe, one day, someone will truly care.)
Ananya kapoor ( Fl )
The house was quiet again. Everyone was busy with their own lives. I sat in my room, staring at the ceiling. No one knocked, no one asked how my day was. Just silence…
