YEH LAMHA ✅

SURPRISE- 13♡

The library was quiet, the only sounds being the occasional page turn and the soft whispers of a few studious individuals. Amidst the sea of books, there was a lone figure reclining on a couch, fast asleep. Her hair cascaded down the armrest, gently rustling with the hum of the air conditioning. She breathed peacefully, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

The sun was setting outside, casting a warm orange glow across the room. The light filtered through the large windows, illuminating the girl's face, and giving her an ethereal appearance. The dust particles danced around her, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. She looked as though she was in a world of her own, lost in her dreams.

Suddenly, a jarring noise pierced through the library. It was her phone, ringing insistently, jolting her awake. She sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes and fumbling for her phone. The peaceful atmosphere shattered, replaced by the harsh reality of the outside world. She sighed, longing to return to her dreams, but knowing that she had to face the world outside once again.
