Noon arrived like a gentle sigh, casting a temporary spell of calm over the bustling household. The usual echoes of giggles and pattering feet were momentarily replaced by a serene quietness, as if the world outside had paused to acknowledge the sacredness of midday.

A hushed stillness enveloped the house-a rare moment of tranquillity in a domain typically dominated by the lively chaos of three rambunctious toddlers. The house, Mohan Villa, accustomed to the lively symphony of three toddlers, found itself in an unfamiliar embrace of silence. The toys that usually danced to the tune of gleeful laughter now lay dormant, as if awaiting, momentarily forgotten, all over the living room.
