The coolness of the morning  has just receded and the sun has come up in the eastern horizon. The golden rays have fallen on the high rising apartment roof and giving it a fresh hue  of golden grey. A group of young children are about to start a game of hide and seek.At that opportune moment arrived the ever affable ever reliable Shanta aunty the children's favourite. Though she works as a maid in most of the houses  and all the inmates know her at least by her face  but she never liked to be called a maid..  Rather she prefers the word aunty what the children   most often call her. Nobody in the vicinity knows from where  she came or who else she has of her own. But undoubtedly  she has become  a household  name over last  few years. 
Some weeks ago  Shanta aunty had a fever  and the entire building  gathered at her small  residence at the rear corner of the children's  playground. Shanta aunty stays alone in that tin roof  house. and nobody has ever seen accompanying  her at least  during the day time or in the evening. Throughout  the year she remains  present  baring a few days at the beginning  of each month.  Hardly anyone  asks the reason  of her absence  nor she confides anything  about  that.  For some  this period of absence  remains  a mystery yet nobody  dares to ask.  
So who is she? Why does she remain absent at the  beginning  of every  month?

This is the story of a girl born with an extraordinary gift-one that set her apart from the very moment she took her first breath. Ever since birth, she has been haunted by visions that intrude upon her waking hours and even invade her sleep. These spectral images and whispers, seen and heard only by her, have always been a double-edged sword: a mysterious window into another world and a constant source of torment. From childhood, her unusual abilities isolated her from her peers. While other children played freely, she was burdened with a secret world that no one could understand. Desperate to share her experiences, she once confided in her mother, only to be met with disbelief and dismissal. "It's all in your head," her mother insisted, leaving her to face the inexplicable alone. As she entered high school, her strange behavior and the eerie phenomena that accompanied her made her an easy target. Teasing and ridicule became a daily ritual at the hands of classmates who could not comprehend her reality. Yet, despite the relentless bullying, she never retaliated-not out of weakness or fear, but because she was determined never to inflict pain on anyone, even those who scorned her. Everything began to change when one fateful day, a young man stepped forward. For the first time, someone saw beyond her oddities and recognized the courage and compassion within. He defended her against the cruelty of others, sparking a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, she wasn't meant to be alone. In this haunting and heartfelt journey, she must learn to embrace her gift, unravel the mysteries of the visions that both curse and bless her, and navigate the delicate balance between isolation and acceptance in a world that fears what it does not understand.

On her first day of her second year, Maya starts hearing the rumors. They're impossible to ignore, whispers in the halls, sideways glances, and soft giggles when Leo walks by. His name always seems to come up in the same breath as tragedy. It's like everyone knows the details but no one will talk about them, like there's a dark cloud hanging over him. Some say it was an accident, others think it's something worse, but either way, Leo's the one you don't want to get too close to. Maya, however, isn't the type to shy away from rumors. Especially not when they start eating at her curiosity. There's something about Leo that pulls her in, like a puzzle she can't solve. She's been struggling with a hole in her life, the loss of someone she cared about, someone who's been gone for far too long. Desperate for answers and willing to do anything, Maya ends up making a deal. It's one of those things you hear about in hushed tones, something that sounds almost too unreal to be true, but she doesn't care. All she wants is for them to come back, and the cost? Well, she figures she'll deal with that later. But just as she's about to seal the deal, Leo shows up, like some kind of reluctant hero. He tries to save her, to break the bargain before it's too late, but his intervention backfires. The deal takes its toll on her in a way she never expected, half of her soul gets torn away, scattered across town. To make things worse, part of the demon that tricked her takes root inside her, filling the void and granting her powers. But it's not all gifts. With those powers comes the threat of losing who she is, of being consumed by the very thing she tried to control. Maya is left with a terrifying choice: use the powers to reclaim her soul or risk losing herself completely.
