Chapter 1 The invisible daughter

The smell of burnt toast drifted through the cramped kitchen, but Ira didn't dare complain. She stood barefoot on the cold marble floor, flipping the parathas with practiced precision as the morning sun poured in through the rusted window.

"Ira!" her mother's shrill voice rang out from the living room. "Did you pack Pari's lunch? Don't forget the almonds. You know she needs them for her skin."

"I did, Ma," Ira replied softly.

"Then why are you standing there like a useless statue? Go check her uniform! Make sure it's perfectly ironed."

Ira pressed her lips together and moved quietly, her eyes flicking toward her sister Pari - radiant, smug, and still scrolling through her phone without a care in the world. Pari didn't even look up as Ira approached with the crisp, freshly ironed skirt.

"Try not to wrinkle it, behen," Pari said with a smirk. "You're always so clumsy."

Ragini laughed, like Pari had said something clever. "At least one of my daughters turned out right."

Ira swallowed hard, focusing on the pattern of the carpet to hide the sting in her eyes. This wasn't new. This was every day.

Her father entered the room, his leather belt still looped around his pants from yesterday - not just an accessory, but a threat. His eyes scanned the breakfast table.

"Only two eggs?" he snapped. "You didn't even bother to ask what I wanted?"

"I'm sorry, Papa, I thought-"

"That's the problem. You think. You think too much and do too little."

The backhand came so fast, she didn't see it - only felt the sharp sting across her cheek, hot and humiliating. Pari didn't flinch. Their mother didn't speak. The world just moved on.

Somewhere deep inside her, Ira made a promise she didn't fully understand yet -

One day, this would all end.

But not in the way she expected.
