Author's POV
The morning sun streams through the window, casting a warm glow across the room. Ishqi lies peacefully asleep, her chest rising and falling in a gentle rhythm. Her hair is a tangled mess of dark brown strands spread across the pillow, and a soft smile plays on her lips.
A stuffed animal, Coco, her constant companion, lies nestled against her cheek. Sunlight catches the dust motes dancing in the air, illuminating the peaceful scene. Outside, birdsong fills the air, a cheerful melody that seems to lull the little girl deeper into slumber.
The world outside is waking up, but in this room, time seems to stand still. It's a moment of pure innocence and tranquility.
A small hand, chubby fingers straining, reaches up for the doorknob of Ishqi's room . A wide grin, eyes sparkling, as the door finally gives way. He took his tiny steps toward Ishqi's bed cautiously, not wanting to wake her up from her peaceful sleep . He sat on the bed . He gently shook her shoulder, "Ishq? Ishq, wake up! The sun is shining!"
"Samarth??" Ishqi mumbled in her sleep, turning away from him. Even if she didn't open her eyes , she knew it was Samarth .
Samarth poked her cheek playfully, "Come on, sleepyhead! I've something for you!! See ." Samarth grinned. "Are you feeling better?"
Ishqi rubbed her eyes, yawning. "I think so," she mumbled, her voice still thick with sleep.
"What time is it?"
" Almost 8 o'clock , that's what my mom said."
"What day is it ?" Ishqi asked as she yawned.
" It's Thursday." Samarth replied chuckling.
" Date?"
" 10 th September."
" Same as my birth date." She yawned again.
" Cause it's your birthday , Dumbo." Samarth said as he took out something from his pocket. " Happy birthday, Ishq ." He gave a birthday card to Ishqi .
Ishqi's eyes lit up. She clutched the card to her chest, her eyes sparkling with joy. It was the perfect way to brighten her day. She knew she would cherish this card forever, a reminder of the special bond she shared with her best friend. Samarth chuckled at Ishqi's reaction.
" Thank you, Sam . I'll keep this card with me forever. "
" You're welcome, Ishq . But let's go downstairs first , everyone's waiting for you." He ruffled Ishqi's hair .
