It was one of those rare, peaceful afternoons - the kind that felt earned after a long, exhausting week. The house hummed softly with comfort and familiarity. Sunlight filtered through the wide windows, falling lazily across the living room where everyone had gathered.

Sudhir sat on his favorite armchair with a newspaper he wasn't really reading. Sunita was beside him, occasionally correcting him about something he clearly already knew. Rajveer and Randheer were engaged in a low discussion about work, while Shivangi and Riddhima sat curled together on the couch, laughing about something only they found amusing. Siddharth and Yashvi occupied the floor, debating over snacks as if it were a matter of national importance.
