Every Sunday, Roshni would visit her grandparents’ house on their farm.
“Come, sit,” Grandpa would say, patting the bench on their porch.
Roshni loved these moments, where the world slowed down and stories flowed like magic. Grandma would bring tea, her eyes twinkling with joy.
“I’m excited to hear about your younger days—the adventures, the lessons, and the memories,” Roshni said eagerly.
Grandpa smiled softly, his wrinkled hands resting on the cane. “Ah, the old days… when everything was simple and happiness was all we had.”
Roshni could feel the warmth of those memories. She sat in silence, bound not by words but by a timeless bond.
