Next Morning............

Rishi woke up to the faint morning light filtering through the sheer white curtains. The apartment was drenched in a golden hue, making everything seem far more serene than the previous night. He blinked a few times, adjusting to the soft rays hitting his face. For a moment, he smiled, feeling Avni's warm, naked body pressed against his. She was still sleeping, her face nestled in the curve of his neck, breathing softly. Her slender arm was draped over his chest, her hair spilling in loose waves across the pillow.
