Hello Amorties!!!!!

________


Kiyaan: I know exactly what you mean, Nis. There's something about their peacefulness that just calms the soul.

As they sat there, the morning light slowly filling the room, Kiyaan nd Nis continued to hold their girls close, lost in the gentle beauty of the moment. The world outside receded, leaving only the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the room.

In that instant, nothing else mattered. Just the gentle rhythm of their girls' breathing, the soft caress of their hair nd the warm, comforting presence of each other.

The morning light crept through the window, its warm rays dancing across Vaani's face. The soft golden glow kissed her eyelids, coaxing her awake.

At first, Vaani's lashes fluttered, her eyes resisting the gentle summons. But as the light persisted, her eyelids slowly lifted, revealing sleepy, dark pools.

The morning sunbeams bathed her features, illuminating the gentle contours of her face. Her skin glowed with a radiant, porcelain sheen nd her lips curled into a subtle, peaceful smile.

As awareness seeped into her consciousness, Vaani's gaze focused, nd she found herself lost in Kiyaan's tender stare. His eyes cradled warmth nd concern, his face etched with a quiet vigilance.

Vaani's lids dropped, nd she rubbed the remnants of sleep from her eyes. When she opened them again, Kiyaan's smile mirrored hers.

"Good morning, Vaanu," Kiyaan whispered, his voice laced with affection.

Vaani: *rubs her eyes, yawns nd stretches* Good morning *pouts*

Nis: Good morning, Vaanii.

Vaani: Mai kab soyi? Mereko hi nhi pata. (When did I fall asleep? I didn't even realize it.)

Kiyaan: Koi na (its alright)  ab kaisa lag raha hai (how are you feeling now?)

Vaani: I'm okiishh

Kiyaan: (touches her forehead) You don't have a fever. (exhales deeply, relieved)

Vaani: Aap dono nhi soye? (Didn't you both sleep?)

Kiyaan: Nhi, Vaani. (No vaani)

Vaani: Why?

Nis: (chuckles) Aise hi. (Just like that.)

Vaani: (looks at sleeping Shi) Shi is sleeping... uff!

Nis: Haan.

Vaani: Shaadi hai aaj, so isse uthna hoga na. (It's the wedding day today, so we have to wake her up.)

Nis: Ek kaam karta hun.  l"ll drop you both at your hotel  (let me do one thing, I'll drop you both at your hotel)

Kiyaan: Nis, drive safely.

Nis: yes yaan, don't worry.

Kiyaan: (pecks Vaani's forehead) Take care of yourself.

Vaani: Okay... (pouts)

Nis gently scooped up Shi in his arms nd the three of them left the room.

As they stepped out, Kiyaan couldn't help but smile, watching Vaani disappear from his sight.

"Take care, Vaanu," he whispered to himself, his eyes lingering on the empty space where she had stood.

The soft click of the door closing behind them echoed through the hallway, signaling their departure.
