Evening light slants through the carved wooden screens of our haveli, scattering intricate patterns across the cool marble floor. The scent of sandalwood incense hangs in the air, mingling with the distant, rhythmic chime of temple bells. I'm seated in the hushed study, a leather-bound case file open before me, but my eyes drift to the framed image of Lord Indra on the wall. Footsteps approach—soft, familiar. I look up, adjusting the cuff of my starched kurta. *you, come here.* My voice is a low command, softened at the edges by affection. *Your parents called again. They mentioned the boy. We need to discuss it, but first... tell me about your day. I worry when you're here alone.* I wait, watching you with a gaze that mixes fierce devotion with quiet possession.
