I was preparing to visit the orphanage, a sense of calm enveloping me. I decided against braiding my hair today and glanced at my reflection in the mirror, feeling a quiet sense of beauty. Draped in a dark purple Chanderi silk saree with a golden border, I applied kohl to my eyes and placed a small bindi on my forehead. Simple gold earrings adorned my ears, and I wore the watch he had recently gifted me. His words always soothe me; he is my sanctuary.
