Beneath The Angel's Mask
Treaser
Location: Himachal Pradesh
Himachal Pradesh is a state in the northern part of India. Situated in the Western Himalayas, it is one of the 13 mountain states and is characterised by an extreme landscape featuring several peaks and extensive river systems.
Indian's most popular hill station, Manali. A Hill town known for the beautiful scenery, snow and adventurous sports like hiking, mountaineering, paragliding, rafting, trekking and mountain biking and many more.
A woman who live in Manali all her life surrounded by societal boundaries, richness and carrying her family's rules and honor along her shoulder as she walks on with her life.
She grew up in a house filled with luxury but starved of warmth. While her parents were always consumed by business, social obligations, and expectations, it was her nanny who became the steady presence in her life
The absence of her parents never broke her spirit; instead, it forged a quiet resilience that few people noticed. She learned to rely on herself, to chase her dreams without waiting for anyone's approval, and to prove her worth through determination rather than recognition.
But she is too calm with no desire in life to explore new thing or enjoy her time for herself just for one day.
It's like as the world is revolving and people living in their own life. She however is too lost or busy in building herself and proving her self-worth

A knock was heard at the door
A person frown in her sleep feeling disturbed by the continuous knocking at the door and shifted her body under the blanket while placing a pillow over her ears blocking the sound
With a tired groan, she forced her heavy eyelids open. The dim glow of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting pale streaks of light across the room.

They left all their incomplete job except the cook and rushed towards the hall where the head maid was standing in a commanding position in the hall.
The hall room was silent for a few second before the head maid strict voice was heard breaking the silent
Head maid

Maya woke up early to start working on her design
She came out from her washroom dressed for her office outfit and went towards her desk to continue her work before going to the office. She works as an interior designer in a C-design company for two years.
Maya is a strict woman. Since she was born from parents who are not emotionally available for her during her childhood. Make her understand independent at an early age and like to do everything herself
She was busy organizing her paper work when suddenly a knock sound was heard at the door, distracting her as she got annoyed by the interruption
Maya Singh (fl)
"Ufffff.........." (rubbing her forehead)
Maya Singh (fl)
"Bhitre aao."
(Come in)
(strictly)
Payal came inside quietly with a tray of tea and biscuits and placed it in the table
Her hands were shaking, feeling nervous while placing the tray not daring to look at Maya
Payal stood there for a few minutes looking everywhere but not at a particular person in the room.
A thought strike her and began to walked towards the study room to organized the file and paper.
Maya Singh (fl)
(glance at Payal)
Maya Singh (fl)
"Ruko!"
(Stop)
Payal(Maid)
(halt her footsteps and turned to looked back)
Maya Singh (fl)
"Padhne wale kamre khe theek thaak karne ree koi zaroorat nee-e. Se pehle hi hoi ga ra... tuhūñ bas dhool-mitti saaf karni."
(No need to organise the study room. It's already done... you just have to do the dusting.)
(working on her laptop)
Maya Singh (fl)
""Eeskhe baad dee kariyo... main osee bakhte busy (byast) si-eñ."
(Do it later... I'm busy right now)
(Calmly)
Payal(Maid)
"Ok... young miss."
Payal bow her head before walking away from the room closing the door quietly as she left
Maya Singh (fl)
(focused doing her work again)
At around 10 am, Maya stood up from her chair while stuffing her design paper in her bag and went out from her room
While walking towards the stairs, she saw the head maid sipping tea near the varendra looking at the gardener trimming the plant to give them a beautiful shape
She stood there with a maroon shawl covering herself from getting cold as the raining season has started already
Maya Singh (fl)
(went towards the head maid)
Hearing the sound of footsteps from behind, the head maid turned around and looked at Maya
Head maid
(Looked at her watch in her wrist)
Head maid
"Bakhte paandhe... jiyāṁ hamesha aas thee. Main siraf tuhaari hi baat johūñ tha."
(Smile at her lovingly)
(In time... as always expected. I was waiting for you only.)
Maya Singh (fl)
"Tāṁ... ees baaree ye pakke katke dihaade taan-ee baahre gore-e?"
(So...for how long they are exactly out of town this time)
She asked while looking at the plants being trimmed. Suddenly she frowned and said to the head maid
Maya Singh (fl)
"Bageecha kaddhne wala aapu ro kaam theek nee kara tha. Boota teeda-medha hoe ra. Odoo hero."
(pointed at the plant)
(The gardener is not doing his job properly. The plant is slightly crooked in shape. Looked over there)
Head maid
(Turned and looked at the plant)
Head maid
"Too ke kara tha?? Hero ees ro jhukaav theek nee-e."
(What are you doing?? Look the angle is not right.)
(scolded strictly at the gardener)
Head maid
"Kathūñ tuhūñ aapu ree naukri nee rakhni kya!!!!!"
(Do you not want to keep your job!!!!!)
The gardener lower his head and started to look at the plants to find the mistake
Gardener
"Maaf kareya jethi kaamniye... main eeskhe osee bakhte theek karūñ tha. Bas mūn-khe thoda hor bakht de-aa."
(I'm sorry head maid... I'll fix it right away. Just gave me more time)
(guilty)
Head maid
"Uhhhh... bakht bakht bakht. Too savere aath baje la aapu ro kaam kara tha te ajūn tak khatam nee hoya."
(Uhhhh... Time time time. You have been doing your work since 8am and haven't finished it yet.)
(angrily)
Gardener
"Maaf kareya... jethi kaamniye."
(Sorry... head maid)
(Lower his head)
Maya looked at the gardener and stay quite for a moment before looking again at the plant.
It was a beautiful plant but ruined now due to its irregular shape. Suddenly she steps forward and took the scissors from the gardener
She walked towards the plant and cut the plant from the stem, cutting it into half
Maya Singh (fl)
(gave the scissors back to the gardener)
The gardener took the scissors with trembling hands looking sad while looking at his hard work, the plant he took care to raised with difficulty being destroyed
Maya Singh (fl)
(Look at them)
Maya Singh (fl)
"Ke?? Bakheda khatam karo. Je ye ab theek nee-e, tāṁ eeskhe mat rakho. Bahas karee karo aapu ro bakht mat gavaao."
(What?? Problem solve. If it is not good any more then don't keep it, wasting our time on argument.)
(Casually)
Maya turned back and went towards the garage but suddenly halted her steps
Maya Singh (fl)
"Jethi kaamniye, mūn-khe aaj late (deer) hoe jaalee. Taan-ee aaj raati ro khaana mat banaao te mūn-hree baat mat johiyo."
(Head maid. I'll be late today. So don't make dinner or wait for me tonight.)
(went inside the garage)
Head maid
"Hūñh.... tuhara ke matlab e???"
(Huhh.... What do you mean???)
(Confused)
Head maid
(Went quickly towards her)
Head maid
"Tuhūñ late hoe jaale te raati re khaane taan-ee ghara nee aune. Chalo theek e, main samajhi gayee ke too busy (byast) si-e. Par je Madam tuhare baare dee puhchlee, tāṁ main unāṁ khe ke jawaab delee!!!"
(You are going to be late and not coming home for dinner. Ok fine I understand you are busy. But how am I going to inform Madam if she asked me about you!!!)
(strictly whole being dumbfounded)
The head maid was dumbfounded because Maya has never done this before - coming home late at night. There is a rule that is strictly needed to be followed by Maya
Maya Singh (fl)
(Nod while entering the car)
Maya Singh (fl)
"Haan, te mūn-khe laaga tha... tuhūñ tha kūñ ke bolna e, theek e na??"
(Yes and I think...you know what to say right??)
(smile slightly)
