Rishi's hand tightened around Chitra's. "No, Chitra," he said firmly, his voice low. "Let him play. Let him see what life is all about, the tests it throws your way. Let him face difficulties, learn how to navigate them, how to find his own happiness. That's how a man builds himself."Chitra understood his reasoning, but her heart ached for their son. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision. She wanted nothing more than to sweep him into a comforting embrace, but Rishi's words echoed in her mind.Seeing her silent struggle, Rishi pulled her into a side hug, his warmth a source of strength. "I know it's hard," he whispered, "but I think we should leave soon. Otherwise, I might change my mind."Haneesha, sensing their turmoil, offered a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Aunty," she said gently. "I'll call you, write letters, keep you updated on Vidhur's progress."Chitra managed a weak smile, her heart heavy but a flicker of hope rekindled. She leaned down and softly pecked Hanee

His escape attempt was thwarted, however, when he clumsily knocked over Haneesha's bag."Aha! Aha!" Haneesha shrieked, clutching her injured hand. "My bag! My books and my hand, aaaaah!"The librarian's voice once again echoed through the hall: "Silence!"Vidhur, trapped, reached for Haneesha's hand, dragging her outside before she could unleash another earsplitting scream."Okay, okay, stop it, yaar," he pleaded, desperation coloring his voice. "I'm so sorry."Haneesha, still fuming, turned her back on him. "Stupid! Idiot!" s

The rain, a relentless companion throughout the day, had finally begun to ease, leaving behind a cool, refreshing breeze.She closed her eyes, the memory of the day replaying in her mind – the stolen kiss, the unspoken emotions, the lingering touch.

He smiled.She sipped her coffee, leaning back and relaxing."How's the coffee?""Superb! Thanks. So, anything else on your mind?" she asked, surprised by his silence.She noticed him hesitate. "Just a hunch," she said playfully.He raised an eyebrow. "A hunch, huh? About what?""The cricket match, maybe? Or maybe you don't want to talk about it."He seemed taken aback. "Haneesha, I was asking you something.""Ah, right," she said, feigning innocence. "Wild guess, then."He stared at her, then a slow grin spread across his face. "Wow, seriously? A wild guess?

Reyansh's eyes shone with admiration. "That's a wonderful story about your parents, Saarayu. I truly appreciate how they chose to live a simple life, even though they were at the top of their respective fields – your father, the legendary cricketer Vidhur, and your mother, the esteemed IAS officer Haneesha."Saarayu, her smile radiating a warmth that matched her parents' legacy, chuckled softly. "It's definitely a story worth telling, Reyansh. But for now, let's focus on the present, shall we? After all, you wouldn't be here without their unwavering support, and now it's my turn to carry the torch.
