With his harsh words, he made sure that Sindhu, her mother, and even her elder brother Skandha understood their places in the world.
Sindhu was a tall, a little chubby, tan-skinned girl with beautiful honey eyes. She often caught herself gazing out of the window, dreaming of a life beyond the walls of her home. Skandha, who was an athlete and a source of pride for their father, often shielded her from the worst of their father's anger. But even he could not change the toxic environment they lived in.
One day, while trying to escape her father’s wrath, Sindhu went to the local park. There, she met her three closest friends: Preethi, Ankit, and Amarpreeth.
