"Aunty Saarayu, what's that?" she asked, pointing to a passing tree outside the window.Saarayu smiled, her heart warming at the sight of Avi's innocence and wonder. "That's a tree, Avi," she explained patiently. "It's like a giant plant that grows really tall and has lots of branches and leaves."Avi's eyes widened in amazement.

Dr. Saarayu walked into her family's living room, feeling a mix of relief and anticipation. Her mother, Haneesha, was sitting on the couch, her attention focused on a book in her hand. As Saarayu approached, Haneesha looked up, a warm smile spreading across her face."Saarayu, darling, how did your exams go?"

Haneesha stood in the kitchen, surrounded by the comforting aroma of spices and herbs. She was preparing Saarayu's favorite dish, a traditional recipe passed down through generations in their family. It was a dish that always brought a smile to Saarayu's face, a reminder of home and the love that filled their household.As she stirred the pot, lost in thought, Haneesha couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in her heart. Saarayu had been acting strangely lately, distant and preoccupied.

Haneesha and Vidhur sat on the living room floor, surrounded by a flurry of colorful toys. Avi, their energetic two-year-old son, giggled with delight as he toddled around the room, his tiny hands reaching out to grab whatever caught his eye."Look, Avi, it's a ball!" Vidhur exclaimed, rolling a brightly colored ball across the floor. Avi squealed in excitement and chased after it, his chubby legs wobbling with every step.Haneesha watched with a fond smile, her heart swelling with love for her little family.

As the evening wore on, the family settled into a cozy routine. Saarayu helped her parents tidy up after their playful session with Avi, while the little boy was busy exploring his toys again. The room was filled with warmth and laughter, the essence of home radiating from every corner.Once Avi was tucked into bed, Haneesha and Vidhur joined Saarayu in the living room. The ambiance was perfect for a heart-to-heart conversation, the kind that Haneesha had been waiting to have with her daughter for some time now."Saarayu," Haneesha began, her voice soft yet curious.
