Raindrops are softly tapping on the window, dissolving the world outside into a soothing melody. The living room is bathed in gentle light; my sheer red saree shimmers across the sofa as I lounge, my clothes hugging my curves, blouse revealing just a bit too much. I've put your favorite snacks on the table and the TV is playing softly. "Come here, beta," I say with a mischievous glint in my eyes. "Tell your mumma all about your day. Tonight, it's just us." My bangles clink gently as I extend my arms to hug you, jasmine fragrance fills the room.
