Place - Puri, Odisha

The sun is steadily rising above the horizon. There is no sound except of the nature. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and peaceful. In a two-story building a girl is sleeping in her nighty with messy hairs, light brown complexion and slightly open mouth. Suddenly, the alarm clock rings.... Kookdu koo... Kookdu koo...

Ani: Arey yaar yeh subah itni jaldi kyu ho jaati hai. Aur yeh alarm meri neend ka dushman. Oh! God please give me a blessing like kumbhakaran of sleeping at least 24hrs if not 6 months then. Chhodo kya kr sakte hain. Common anu let's do your morning chores.

Anika kumari Singh. An 17 yrs old girl soon to be 18. Just completed 12th and preparing for higher studies . She's confident but introvert. She's afraid of being judged that's why doesn't shares her thoughts. She's craving for a companion to share everything and who stays forever with her. Believes in marriage and doesn't appreciates divorce. Her world is her family. Her biggest dream is to save 11,00,001 lives before her death.

After completing her morning chores, she moved downstairs and was going towards the main door then her mother called from behind.

Ani mom: Anu. Where are going this early morning, ha? If you're free then better help me in house chores na. Come and wash the dishes (bit sternly) Always I have to work alone, huhh.

Mrs Ritika Singh,mother of anika and nikhil. Loves her family very much. She is fun loving as well as strict. An house wife.

Ani: Mom you're saying as if I don't do anything. If you forgot then me remind you yesterday I washed all clothes and dishes too. Now please let me go out. Bye maa.

Ani dad(coming down from stairs): What happened? Why you both are quarreling early morning?

Mr Harshad Kumar Singh. Father of anika and nikhil. Very cool daddy but sometimes very strict. Loves his family. An electronic shop owner.

Ritika : Ask your daughter na. Why she doesn't help me in house chores. She is grown up now(irritated).

Harsh. Leave it na yaar.

Ritika. Yes. How can you oppose you ladli. Fine. Spoil her now. When she'll get married and her in-laws will complain then only you'll understand.

Outside

Ani. Wow! Yaar early morning nature is just spell bounding. Natural beauty is most beautiful in this earth. If anyone will ask me where do I want to travel then my answer will be, the exploration of all the hidden beauty of nature,who cares about monuments. Woh toh sab dekhte hain.

While enjoying the beautiful weather she felt something on her leg , she looked down only to see her biggest fear that's a frog sitting quietly on her foot. The grey-coloured, black - spotted frog made a small jump and moved closer to her and that's it she screamed, shakes her legs as soon as the frog left her foot she ran from there towards her house and bang!! She fell down and looked up to see her brother laughing hard keeping one hand on his stomach.

Nikhil Kumar Singh. Anika's brother.14yrs old naughty boy, always fights with anika but very protective about her.

Anika smack his shoulder little hard making him wince.

Ni. Ahh. Didi kitni zor se mara. I will complain maa.

Ani. Go ahead I will tell papa about your test that you just passed.

Ni(fake laugh). Arey I was just joking lets go inside, come.

Anika giggled and both moved inside.

Her face fell down.

Hearing this she gave a wide smile.
