Rudravika had come early to the office today, determined to wrap up the pending pile of work before her important client meeting scheduled later that afternoon. It was one of those days when she needed everything to go smoothly, crisp emails, clear drafts, and a calm mind. She had arrived with Vihaan in the morning, while Vihaansh had left early for a court hearing.

Skipping breakfast wasn't a new habit for Rudravika, but Ruhanika had made sure she didn't walk out the door empty-stomach. With a soft scolding and a loving glare, she had made her eat a few slices of apple and pomegranate before letting her leave. And now, at around 2:27 PM, Rudravika found herself dragging a little, her head mildly aching from screen time and her focus starting to blur.
