The sun was already high in the sky when Armaan awoke, the morning sunlight filtering in through the curtains.

He stretched, his limbs heavy with sleep, and rolled over to find Ishani already awake, a soft smile on her lips.

"Morning," she murmured, her voice still husky with sleep.

Armaan reached out, pulling her close, his arms encircling her waist as he pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Good morning, beautiful," he whispered, the words coming easily to his lips.

Armaan and Ishani slipped out of bed, pulling on their clothes as they quietly made their way down the hallway to Aryamaan's room.

They stopped just outside the door, their eyes meeting in a silent exchange of understanding.

With a nod, Armaan turned the doorknob, pushing the door open to reveal their son still sound asleep, his chest rising and falling with each gentle breath.

Ishani smiled, reaching out to take Armaan's hand as they stood there, watching over their child.

Armaan and Ishani remained in the doorway, savoring the peace and quiet of the moment.

After a few minutes, Ishani spoke up, her voice low and soft.

"I was thinking, maybe we should do something special with Aryamaan today," she said, glancing up at Armaan. "A day trip to the zoo, maybe, or the park?"

Armaan nodded, his smile widening. "That sounds perfect," he replied, his hand squeezing hers gently. "I think he'd love it."

The three of them set out later that morning, the air warm and sweet with the promise of summer.
Aryamaan's eyes danced with excitement as they drove to the park, his voice a constant stream of chatter.
"Are we gonna ride the carousel?" he asked, his small hand gripping Armaan's tightly.
"Maybe," Armaan replied, a smile in his voice. "But first, how about we feed the ducks?"
Aryamaan's face lit up with delight. "Can we bring bread?" he asked, his voice filled with anticipation.

Armaan and Ishani spent the morning with Aryamaan, watching as he laughed and played, his face alight with the joy of childhood.

They fed the ducks, their hands gently guiding his as he tossed bread into the water.

They took turns pushing him on the swings, his laughter filling the air as he soared higher and higher.

They rode the carousel, Aryamaan's eyes shining with wonder as the colorful horses galloped in a never-ending circle.

It was a perfect day, a day filled with laughter and love and memories that would last a lifetime.

The sun was starting to dip low in the sky by the time they left the park, their bellies full of ice cream and cotton candy and their hearts full of happiness.

As they drove back to the house, Aryamaan's head drooped low, his eyes drooping with the weight of sleep.

Ishani looked up at Armaan, her eyes soft with love. "He had a great time, didn't he?" she whispered, her voice filled with affection.

Armaan smiled, his eyes still on the road.

They pulled into the driveway, the car coming to a gentle stop.

Armaan glanced over at Ishani, his heart swelling with love. "He did have a great time," he said, his voice filled with pride. "And it was all thanks to you."

Ishani blushed, a soft smile curving her lips. "And you, too," she replied, her hand finding his.

Together, they climbed out of the car, Armaan gently lifting Aryamaan into his arms, the little boy's head resting against his chest.

As Armaan carried Aryamaan up the front steps and into the house, Ishani closed the car door, her heart filled with a sense of peace.

They made their way to Aryamaan's room, Armaan carefully laying him down on the bed, tucking him in under the covers.

Aryamaan sighed in his sleep, his body instantly relaxing into the embrace of slumber.

"I guess he's pretty tired," Ishani whispered, her eyes soft with affection as she gazed at her sleeping son.

Armaan pulled the covers up over Aryamaan, his heart overflowing with love for his family.

Ishani stepped closer, her hand finding his, and together they left the room, the door clicking softly shut behind them.

They made their way back to their own bedroom, their eyes finding each other's in the half-light of the hallway.

Armaan reached out, his fingers gently tracing her jawline. "You're amazing, you know that?" he whispered, his voice filled with emotion.

Ishani blushed, her eyes shining with love. "I'm just a mom," she said, her voice soft and self-deprecating.

Armaan smiled, his hand moving to the back of her neck, gently tilting her face towards his. "You're so much more than that," he murmured, his lips brushing against hers.

Ishani leaned into his touch, her heart skipping a beat as their lips met in a slow, gentle kiss.

Armaan and Ishani lay together in bed, their bodies entwined, the room filled with the soft, even breathing of sleep.
The moonlight filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over their faces as they slumbered, their hearts at peace.
Aryamaan slept in the room next door, a smile still gracing his lips, the memories of the day's adventures still lingering in his dreams.
The house was quiet, the world was still, and the future was bright with the promise of love and new beginnings.
