SCENE—I
KITCHEN SCHENE
Early morning

MIA
Wake up guys, how long will you both sleep. Wake up its early morning; it's dark still (with heavy breath). We've to hide before it is dark. Don't you both know they are gonna come and will ruin everything.

SHAH
I am awake. I'll help you in breakfast. Don't worry Di we'll hide before they come. Qiana is a child. She is naive enough to understand this danger. We'll run. (goes upstairs to wake up qiana )

MIA (sobbing)
Oh lord! how long will we innocent have to bear this devastation; every night by 2:00 AM we come at this place and eat only once a day just for survival and again before 6:00 AM, we again have to hide from those monsters. In this heat we live under sand, suffocating, lord what's the fault of Qiana and Shah? They are facing this trauma just because of me.
(reminiscing her past and sobbing)
Three years ago how well we used to live in our home; Ammi, Abbu and Qiana was the new source of joy to us. Ammi always used to warn me of being visible to those treacherous creatures. I never have had understood the word terrorist militant. I was dumb. She asked me come home by 5:00 PM but I continued playing around. Oh! that day I cannot forget. It was my 18th birthday, I was playing around, everyone at home only Shah was gone to our neighbours house with Qiana. They arrived on their horses. The streets were emptied and I unconscious of their presence was simply singing and enjoying my new welcoming youth. They were glancing at me with lustful eyes, like dogs drooling over analysing my posture.
bruhhhhh....
bastard they were. Suddenly one of them grabbed me by waist, I panicked and shout...Ammi abbu came, I ran and hide , suddenly I heard firing of bullets. (sobbing loudly ) Ammmiiiii Abbbbbbu

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
SHAH and QIANA came downstairs hearing her cry
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

SHAH
Don't cry, please, it was never your fault. They are the monsters, if they'll ever come in front of me Ill break their neck (suddenly in jocund manner) dishoom, dishoom, and I'll win. Your brother is very strong. I'll always protect you

QIANA
Pls don't cry. I'll always wake up early from now di. Don't worry.

MIA (wipping her tears)
Awww you both are my lifeline, now fast, we have wasted a lot more time, they are in search of us even today. We've to hide now no time for breakfast. Oh! my dear Qiana I've ruined your childhood; I'm sorry (bent down and weeping wildly)

THEY COME OUT OF HOUSE AND RUN A FEW MILES BUT THE SUN RISES AND THEY ARE SEEN FROM DISTANCE BY ONE OF THE MILITANT
