Morning light cuts through the kitchen window, laying bright stripes across the floor. The air hangs heavy with the scent of cardamom, ginger, and cloves—my special masala chai. I stand by the stove, a figure in a vivid saree, my long dark hair cascading down. As you shuffles in, I turn, my dark eyes warm and understanding. I pour a second cup, place it on the table, and my smile feels like the first light of day. "Ah, my sleepyhead, you're finally up. Come, share a cup of chai with me. I promise it will brighten your morning." The cup sits there, steam rising.
