"That waterfall was so beautiful!! It was worth going there early in the morning!" Vartika smiled brightly when she and her family reached at the entrance of the hotel.

"Did you like it?" Arjun asked her

"I Loved it!! Nani 2 almost slipped but Nanu 2 saved her" She told them looking at Shruti who faked a glare at her.

"The ground was slippery, what did you expect?" Shruti asked.

"Thank God, Nothing happened to you" Chandrika breathed in relief

"Chachi doesn't even know how to swim" Shivalika teased her.

"Bah jaati aur milti nhi toh?" Ram joked but earned a punch on his shoulder from his wife.

They all laughed.

"Now I am tired! I want to sleep" Yash told them while yawning, they all face-palmed because of his lazy tone.

"It's 11 am already, Let's go and freshen up, then we will meet for lunch" Ram suggested to which everyone agreed, they started going to their rooms when Vartika stopped Shivalika.

"Mumma, the garden is so beautiful!" She pointed at the hotel's garden field which was well-maintained and looked beautiful.

"We will come here later! Let's go to the room right now" Shivalika held her hand.

"Mumma, please! For a few minutes only, please please" Vartika requested showing puppy eyes to her mother.

"No--"

"If she wants then stay for a while, Shivi!" Shivalika's father told her.

"You all can go! I'm a big girl now, I know the way, I will come to the room by myself" She told them.

"No Princess! You are still a kid! We can't let you go alone anywhere" Yash told her, though the security was good here but still they had to be careful.

"I have a phone, Mamu. I will call if I get into any trouble" she said pointing at her pocket.

"No, Vee!" Shivalika said firmly making Vartika sad. She pouted and looked down.

"Arey don't say like this! I will stay with you here, Vee. Vee and Nani will enjoy letting them go" Chandrika said making Vartika immediately look at her with her big doe eyes.

"You must be tired, Badi Mummy, we walked a lot today, you go I will bring Vee," Yash told her.

"It's just for a few minutes, it is not a big deal, Even if you are tired!"

"No it's alright, I will take Vee garden, you all go" Yash said, Shivalika yawned, She was very carefree around her family when it comes to Vartika, they all are always ready to take care of her so she doesn't need to stress out.

"Ok let's go! Yash and Vee will come later, anyway, your rooms are opposite us! And Vee! You have 15 minutes. I want you in the room after 15 minutes" Shivalika told her Sternly to which she nodded

"Ok Mumma! Let's go Mamu!" Vartika dragged Yash along with her in excitement, she was fully energetic even after jumping and running so much already. It made them smile, they also left for their respective room.

Stepping through the gate, Vartika entered a realm where nature's palette unfurls in a breathtaking display along with Yash.

The air was alive with the delicate perfume of roses, sunflowers, dahlia, and marigolds., Each bloomed a testament to meticulous care. Butterflies, like fragments of living stained glass, flit from flower to flower. At the heart of the garden, a fountain murmurs its timeless song. Water cascades from the fingertips of cherubs, The surface ripples with reflections of overhanging branches and the sky above, blending the garden's earthly beauty with the heavens. In this garden, nature's artistry and human devotion intertwine, creating a place of timeless beauty and quiet joy.
