Chapter 2: The Softest Cry
One afternoon, clouds covered the sky and Guddu began to cry. His tears were small, but Asha's heart felt them deeply. She rocked him slowly, humming an old lullaby her own mother had sung.
The song wrapped Guddu like a blanket. His cries faded, replaced by calm breaths. Asha knew then that her voice was Guddu's safest place in the whole world.
