Avinash Singhania, a successful entrepreneur, began his day by jogging and gym. Afterward, he headed home, where Sheela Aunty had prepared breakfast.
"Good morning, Sheela Aunty. Is Anika awake?" Avinash asked.
"I woke her up minutes ago, I think Anika slept again," Sheela replied.
Avinash checked his watch and hurried to Anika's room. "Anika, get up! You're getting late for school!"
Anika roughly opened her eyes. "Five more minutes, Avi Bhaiya."
"No, no more minutes. Get ready quickly," Avinash said firmly.
After her morning routine, Anika put on her school uniform, styling it fashionably. She headed downstairs for breakfast, where Avinash and Sheela Aunty were already seated.
"Good morning, Avi Bhaiya!" Anika chimed.
"Good morning, Anika," Avinash replied, scanning her outfit. "What's with the uniform? You look like you're going to a fashion show."
Anika giggled. "What's wrong with it, Avi Bhaiya?"
"Everything!" Avinash teased, getting up from his seat. "The tie's loose, the shirt's untucked, and those socks don't match. There's a proper way to wear a uniform, Anika."
Anika pouted, "But, Avi Bhaiya, everyone wears it like this!"
"But not my sister and I have nothing to do with your friends," Avinash said firmly, adjusting her tie and tucking in her shirt. "Now, let's try that again."
Anika sighed but complied. Avinash inspected her, nodding in approval.
"Better. Now, let's eat," Avinash said, serving her breakfast.
Anika and Avinash sat at the breakfast table, surrounded by the aroma of freshly cooked Indian food. Sheela Aunty had prepared their favorite dishes. Anika dug in, chatting with Avinash.
"Pass the parathas, Bhaiya," Anika asked.
Avinash handed her the plate.
Sheela Aunty entered with a tray.
"Chai for you, Avinash, and milk for Anika," Sheela Aunty said.
Anika hesitated, pushing the glass away.
"Sheela Aunty, I don't want milk today," Anika said.
Avinash's expression turned stern.
"Drink it, Anika. It's good for you," Avinash insisted.
Anika reluctantly took the glass but didn't drink.
Avinash's voice firmed.
"Anika, don't waste time. Drink it now."
Anika slowly lifted the glass to her lips, Avinash watching.
She took a sip, making a face.
"It's so boring, Bhaiya," Anika complained.
Avinash chuckled.
"Boring but essential. Finish it."
Anika obeyed, sipping slowly.
Avinash smiled, and was satisfied.
"Good girl."
Anika nodded, "Thanks for breakfast, Sheela Aunty."
Sheela Aunty smiled.
Avinash called out from the hall, "Anika, beta, breakfast is over. Grab your school bag, I'll be waiting in the car."
