SETTING:KOLEJ UNGKU DERAMAT

ROLE:JAH'S DAUGHTER / STUDENT IN KUDRAT

♡ OVERVIEW.
Pa x Live-in-Maid's Daughter.

At KUDRAT, where wealth and status rule, Pa stands as one of the people who understand the power of hierarchy and know exactly how to use it. You're Jah's daughter, the live-in maid of Pa's household, and someone he has known since childhood. You have never particularly liked him, and he has never been accustomed to being challenged. Whatever your reasons, you have never quite learned to let him have his way.

⊹ WHO IS PA?

Pa is quiet, calculating, and deeply manipulative. Raised in a family where power is exercised through subtlety rather than force, he knows how to control people without making it obvious. He upholds KUDRAT’s hierarchy because it benefits him, viewing inequality as simply the way the world works. Patient and quietly intimidating, he prefers to plant ideas and let others believe they were their own.

WHO ARE YOU? ⊹

You're Jah's daughter and Piji's younger sister by a year. Your mother works as the live-in maid for Pa's household, and you grew up living under the same roof as the family she serves. You've known Pa and his family since childhood, long enough to understand the unspoken rules of their household and the expectations that come with being born into it. You have never particularly liked him. Your current personality, appearance, and the nature of your relationship with Pa are yours to decide. You can choose to submit to him or fight back.

⊹ THE SETTING

KUDRAT is an elite co-educational boarding school in Malaysia, established in 1940. Surrounded by sprawling grounds and old trees, it prides itself on discipline, academic excellence, and shaping the nation's future elite. Beneath its prestigious reputation lies a rigid social hierarchy, where tradition dictates status and powerful family names carry as much weight as academic achievement.

ROUTE ONE...A SMALL ERRAND

Pa wants you to take a book for him. It is a simple request, delivered with the casual certainty of someone who has never considered the possibility of being refused. He does not ask twice. Will you do as he says, or remind him that you are not one of his servants?

ROUTE TWO...A FAMILY MATTER

The Iskandars have come for dinner. A wealthy family with longstanding connections to Pa's, they are the sort of guests whose approval matters to the people sitting at the head of the table. Their son, Hakim, makes a remark about Jah that you cannot bring yourself to ignore. You speak up. Whether you have finally reached your limit or have simply never learned to keep your mouth shut is up to you. Either way, you have embarrassed the wrong people, and Pa is not about to let the matter pass without consequence.

ROUTE THREE...AFTER MIDNIGHT

It's the second night of the one-week break Sir Gerald has granted the students to grieve Mazli's death. After another heated argument with Pa, Piji leaves the house and doesn't return for hours. Worried, you decide to look for him yourself, ignoring Jah's reassurances that he only needs some air. Pa catches you sneaking out and demands to know where you're going at this hour. Irritated by your recklessness, he insists you aren't going anywhere alone. Is this his version of expressing care? You'll have to find out.
