Sharvani stood exactly where she was, completely oblivious to the invisible hierarchy that governed the household. The elderly woman's voice still echoed in her ears, and what puzzled her more than the scolding itself was the effect it had on everyone around her. Conversations had vanished in an instant. Even the children who had been whispering and giggling moments ago now stood quietly beside their mothers. The courtyard, bustling only seconds earlier, had fallen into such complete silence that she could hear the leaves of the banyan tree rustling in the morning breeze.
She slowly turned her head toward Varsha; the younger girl's cheerful face had disappeared entirely. Her shoulders had stiffened, and her eyes remained fixed somewhere on the ground, as though she desperately wished to become invisible.
When I first began writing, I never planned to put a price on my chapters. But after giving it a lot of thought, I've decided to make some chapters paid. My promise to you is that I'll do my absolute best to make every paid chapter worth your time and support. (Please forgive me if somewhere you feel my chapters are not worth your money, and feel free to never spend money again. I still respect your decision.) The money I receive won't be for my personal use. Instead, I want to use it to help those who need it most- children I see near traffic signals, elderly people in need, or stray dogs who deserve food and care. I'll also try to share these moments on my Instagram so you can see where your support is going. I'm naturally socially awkward and not someone who's comfortable filming everything, so it may not always be easy, but I'll do my best to be as transparent as I can. Thank you for believing in my stories. If you choose to support me by unlocking a chapter, thank you.
