Episode 1
When Mahi clicked ‘Submit Leave Request’, a strange thrill shot through her. Not the usual ‘two weeks off’ kind of thrill. No. This was a whole year. A clean break from endless Zoom calls, performance reviews, and her manager’s uncanny ability to email her precisely at 6:59 PM.
She called it her sabbatical. Her mother called it madness. HR called it unpaid.
And so, with nothing but a backpack, an overpacked suitcase, and a desperate need to feel something other than burnout.
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
Mahi, this is ridiculous! Who takes a one-year leave?
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
MAHIII...Shiva, look what your daughter is up to!
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
Dadda already knows, Maa (said stuffing clothes into her bag without looking up)
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
(Glares)
Shiva Choudhary/ Fl Dad
Hehe😅
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
What Hehe haa
(Glares)
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
Okay, listen... come sit beside me. Tell me, is something wrong? Did you go through a breakup? You can share it with me.
You really want to go alone to that big city? I’m not stopping you, beta... but what about your safety, hmm?
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
Mom, I’m okay being alone. Please try to understand—it's not a breakup or anything like that. I’m just... fed up with everything—this work, this routine. I really need this break.
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
Fine. But promise me you’ll stay safe… and you’ll call me every single day. No excuses.
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
Okay, I promise, Maa. I’ll be safe and call you every day.
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
Mera beta
(she whispered, pulling her into a warm hug)
For a middle class family, a trip like this means more than just travel it's about the safety of their children in a world that’s changing fast. Yet, even with all their worries, they can’t bear to see their child break down without fulfilling at least one wish of their own.
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
Here, take these. Ghar ka khana don’t eat all that outside junk, okay?(said while passing a bag full of homemade snacks)
Her flight was in three hours. She finished packing her suitcase and went to freshen up.
Shiva Choudhary/ Fl Dad
You’ll miss your flight, Mahi! Come fast!
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
I'm ready dadda let's go
Niyati Choudhary/ Fl Mom
Wait, eat something before you go (said holding out a plate with love in her eyes)
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
Yeah, yeah, Matashree (chuckled taking the plate) As you command
After all the emotional drama at home, Mahi finally reached the airport—heart full, eyes a little misty, but a faint smile on her lips
Shiva Choudhary/ Fl Dad
Be careful, Mahi. Call us once you land
(eyes full of an unknown fear but he held it back, trying to stay strong for his daughter)
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
Okay, Dadda… bye
(said with a small smile, hugging him tightly holding on for just a second longer)
Of course, they were afraid to let her go. But more than their fear, they couldn’t bear to see even one of her wishes left unfulfilled.
After all, the apple of their eye was leaving them for a whole year—alone, for the first time. Deep down, they knew their daughter had a rebel’s heart… but even rebels make parents worry.
Mahi Choudhary/ Fl
(Huh… finally out of that hectic workload "An entire year..hoof" Oh God, thank you for this break. Just let me fulfill my wishes—one by one) Her fingers tightened around her boarding pass.
Meet "MAHI CHOUDHARY"
A software engineer by profession, but currently on a one-year break—from work, from stress, from everything that was weighing her down.
She loves her family and friends fiercely.
She hates only one thing: anyone who dares to hurt the people she cares about.
Her world is filled with comic books, novels, and music, which keep her sane when life gets too loud.
Mahi isn’t the kind to stay silent—a rebel at heart, she believes in standing up for herself.
Independent. Bold. Emotional yet strong.
She’s the kind of girl who may walk away, but never backs down.
“Not loud, but never silent.”
Meet "Niyati Choudhary"
A woman of quiet strength and unshakable beliefs.
She’s a housewife—not because she had to be, but because she chose to be, out of love for her family and the peace of home.
A graceful classical dancer, Niyati moves through life with elegance—but make no mistake, she’s anything but fragile.
She won’t accept a single word against her if she knows she’s right. Her silence is powerful, and her stand is firm.
She hates anyone who dares to bring harm to her family.
Life hasn’t been easy on her. She’s faced more than she lets on.
But if there’s one thing she’s determined about—it’s this:
Her children will never go through what she did.
Meet Shiva Choudhary
A man of discipline, strength, and silent sacrifices.
A government employee by profession, Shiva is known for his strict nature—but only to the outside world. At home, he’s the one with a sharp sense of humor, a teasing smile, and a heart full of love for his family.
Life hasn’t been easy on him. From a tough childhood to hard-earned stability, he’s walked through fire to build a better life for his children.
He hates betrayal and people who turn their backs on others in need.
He admires those who are kind, selfless, and always ready to help.
A deeply practical man, Shiva believes life is full of lessons—there’s always more to learn, more to explore.
And above all, he wants one thing for his children: to be independent, strong, and fearless.
Aditya Choudhary/ Fl Brother
Aditya Choudhary/ Fl Brother
Meet Aditya Choudhary
A storm wrapped in silence. A heart full of noise, yet words that rarely leave his lips.
He claims not to believe in love, yet somewhere deep down, a quiet craving for connection still lingers.
Aditya is the guy who hasn’t figured it all out—and doesn’t pretend to.
No clear path, no perfect plan. Just a mind full of thoughts and a soul that keeps drifting.
A gamer, a biker, a cricketer, a boxer—he’s everything rolled into one. But if there’s one thing that lights up his face, it’s kids. He loves them, plays with them, and they bring out the softer side of him no one usually sees.
He hates being judged, and he hides behind a strict, no-nonsense face—
but truth is, he doesn’t want attention.
He’s angry, emotional, stubborn… and yet, quietly shy.
He’s not the easiest to understand—but those who do, know there’s a deeply loyal heart beneath that rough surface.
