Scene 1

Next Morning

Ren, Mj, Maira, and Amily are at the breakfast table 

Ren :- Slept well?

Amily nodded

There is complete and Awkward silence No one 

Amily :- Where have you been last night? You and Maira are not at home?

Maira :- Actually, I went for fresh air and When Ren joined me, I took him to show some of my childhood places.

Amily just nodded in agreement 

There is again awkward silence, This time Maira breaks it.

Maira :- Amily... (Amily hummed) Can I ask you something?

Amily nodded without looking up, but when Maira didn't say anything for a while she looked up. and could see an uncomfortable look of Maira. she also noticed looked between Maira and Ren, So she knew what she wanted to ask, but she felt bad as her friend is not comfortable to ask her something, so she assured her.

Amily (Puts her hand on Maira's) :- Maira You can Ask me anything I'll reply to you honestly, I never lied to you or hid anything from you when you asked something right?

Maira :- But I don't want to invade your personal space

Amily :- (Chuckled) I am at your home with my friends searching for your father. Am I Invading your privacy? (Maira Denied) Maira, I Was afraid of asking questions, So I know how it feels when you want to ask something and You can't, I don't want that Awkwardness or fear between us. You can ask me anything, If I feel that I can't share it with you I will tell you. Is it ok for you? (Assuaring smile)

Maira :- (Nodded) Amily... What happened last night? Why did P'Mj have to share a room with you? (Sighed) If you don't want to tell you have all right, You are not forced.

Amily looked between Mj and Ren, both signalled her to do what she feels right.

Amily :- I had a Panic Attack last night, I have a fear of losing my people, It is my childhood trauma. I generally get hold of my fear but sometimes when something happens that triggers my Fear, I go into Panic Attack. Do you remember when Gorya got framed when R was not here, I called you in panic, That time also my fear triggered as I thought I would have lost T, My T who is changing now. Normally I take medicines so I don't have regular attackes. But whenever something like this happens to me It triggersmy fear and resulting in pannic attack or nightmares.

Maira :- So what happened this time to trigger your fear?

Amily (sighed) :- The Attack, On that day I thought I almost Lost Gorya and T. I was not feared of dying but I couldn't handle losing my people, You remember When we met and you asked me Why I didn't have many friends? This is also the reason apart from what I told you I feared to be betrayed, To left alone, I feared to lose my people. As much as I get attached to someone the fear of losing them is automatically triggered. And now losing Gorya, Kaning and You is equally painful for me as much as losing F4. I can't lose anyone one of you.

Amily puts her head down she is not facing anyone Maira comes and hugs her

Maira :- I can't promise you about others, but I am not going anywhere not now, not ever. I will stay with you like your shadow and won't go even if you want me to go get it.

Ren and mj smiled with adoration, Maira sat back at her place.

Maira :- Won't others know about your condition?

Amily :- They slightly do, P'mira, R and M know about my nightmare and Panic attacks. About P'tia, Kev and T they only know about my panic state that occurs whenever my pa is around. Apparently, they had an idea that there was something wrong with me but they never asked and I never told them myself.

Maira :- So you mean that P'mira, P'Ren and P'Mj asked you about this?

Amily (smiled) :- Mishae! P'mira has been with me for a couple of times when I started having these attacks, so she knows it and she is the one who helped me with pills, and for R he once saw my prescriptions and asked doctors about it and as I went to his hospital for a checkup it's easy for him to know everything and about M, (looked at him) He also saw me gping through panic attack when we got to know about P' tia's Marriage, Since then They all guarded me, make sure that I feel secure.

Maira :- And What about your Pa? Why do you feel afraid of him? 

Listening to this Amily somehow started feeling Restless Trio understands the uneasiness and calmed her down.

Ren :- Maira, Amy's Fear for her father's presence is something even we don't know, and we never force her to tell us, so please don't ask this to her.

Maira nodded

Amily (calmed herself and smiled) :- let's discuss about this topic later. I still need some time before telling you guys this story. Just Understand that there is something happened with me when my child, after that me and my father are not at good terms. And whenever he came infront of me, that trauma triggered and I feel restless.

Maira nodded 

They all had a peaceful breakfast, all tried to calm Amily and they were successful in it.
