Opening Scene: A Quiet Room, Filled with Silence
The camera lingers on a woman, Ananya, sitting alone on a couch, holding a cup of tea that has gone cold. A clock ticks softly in the background, amplifying the stillness. Her face reflects exhaustion—a mixture of confusion, heartbreak, and longing.

Ananya sits on a park bench, watching children play and leaves…
