The haveli felt unusually peaceful that morning. After the violence of the previous night's storm, the silence settling over the estate seemed almost unreal. Sunlight filtered through the clouds left behind by the rain, bathing the courtyard in a soft golden glow while the scent of wet earth drifted in through the open windows. Somewhere in the distance birds chirped among the trees, completely unaware of the fact that they had spent the entire night hiding from the very storm that now seemed like a distant memory.
