Chapter: The Girl Who Sat Still

"The Silence Thread"
by Anisha S Kumar

In a world full of voices, Ira lives in silence. Mute since a childhood accident, she moves through life like a shadow-unseen, unheard, and often misunderstood. Bullied at school, ignored at home, and burdened by financial struggles, Ira's days are quiet battles. But behind her silent lips is a heart that feels deeply and dreams wildly.

This is the story of a girl who cannot speak, yet says everything through her eyes. A story of quiet resilience, invisible pain, and the unspoken language of love.
