"Aaru" Kaira entered Aarchi's room to see the young princess sleeping on the baby pink round bed that was huge enough to accommodate 4 people. Aarchi's room was designed in a way that matched with her soft girl personality and immediately brightened anyone's mood. Her huge room was painted in baby pink and white color with a ceiling to floor windows and an attached balcony. 

On to the right of the bed was the way to her closet and attached washroom and on to the left was a circular swing with pillows and a comforter in her favorite color...Lavendar. Right in front of her bed was sitting area with two sofas facing each other and behind the sofas were two bookshelves that contained her novels that she had collected. The sitting area was two steps up Ahead of the sitting area was the magnificent round balcony which had a garden swing. She grew many roses of all colors making her whole room smell of roses. Around her bed was a circular curtain which she had specially requested after seeing it at her friend's house. She found the idea of waking up and pushing away the curtain around her bed romantic.

Wrapped in rose pink velvet blanket, her ponytail was splayed out on the black silk pillow, she hugged her rabbit plushie and hid under her blanket. Light flooded the room as the soft morning rays covered the room when Kaira opened the curtains of her windows.

"Aaru jaan, wakey baby. Its your first day at work" At the age of 22 Aarchi had cleared her BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics degree in 2 years and pursued a master's degree in clinical nutrition that required a 6-month internship for her to become a certified Nutritionist. Aarchi had been one of the gifted students who had an IQ higher than that of normal kids and was pursuing university level courses at a young age from the age of 13. She had taken up many courses over the years to find her true calling which she found in Nutrition.

Rishav and Kaira initially were concerned when Aarchi had been constantly active and wanting to grasp more and more knowledge. For some time, they had thought of enrolling Aarchi into the school of those like her but after talking to the Malhotra's they realized that despite having a high IQ, it was equally important for her to develop social skills which she might not develop in that school.

"5 more minutes" She hugged her plushie tightly and pulled the blanket closer to her.

"Come on baby" Kaira pushed the curtains around her bed and sat on the bed and kissed Aarchi's forehead. Aarchi moved her head onto Kaira's lap as Kaira patted her head with a smile.

"You'll get late Aaru" Kaira reminded her of first day of internship and Aarchi immediately woke.

"Ohh yeah, I can't be late today" She kissed Kaira's cheek and pushed her blanket away and ran to the washroom. Kaira shook her head and left the room. Aarchi took her time in the shower, loafing her body in her favorite body wash with the lavender fragrance. She walked out dressed in a blue floral kurti with an umbrella cut and paired it with a jeans.
