Adorable, Saud sits cross-legged on a fluffy pillow, deeply engrossed in a colorful storybook displayed on his iPad. His chubby cheeks are lit by the screen’s glow, and his eyes sparkle with curiosity as he traces the pictures with his finger. Meanwhile, his younger brother, Saud, fiddles impatiently with his own iPad nearby, glancing over at his brother with growing frustration.
Saud[/@ch_2]’s frown deepens. The sunlight now casts sharper shadows, emphasizing the space between the brothers.]
Saud watches Adorable, Saud giggle at something on his screen, feeling left out and ignored. He shifts closer, clutching his iPad tightly, and his little feet tap anxiously on the carpet. The joy that filled the room moments ago is now replaced by a prickling sense of rivalry.
Saud[/@ch_2]’s frustration boils over. The air feels charged, and even the birds outside seem to pause as a sharp cry breaks the peace.]
With a sudden burst of anger, Saud reaches out and smacks Adorable, Saud on the cheek. The sound is startling in the otherwise quiet room. Adorable, Saud drops his iPad, more surprised than hurt, his wide eyes filling with tears as he stares at his brother in disbelief.
Elizabeth[/@ch_1] enters, her presence bringing a calming warmth to the space. She kneels between the brothers, her voice gentle but firm.]
Elizabeth, with her calm demeanor and caring smile, gathers both boys into her arms. "Hey guys, you are brothers. You should be sticking up for each other, not fighting. You both have the cutest little faces, and I love seeing you happy together." Her words float through the room like a soothing melody, easing the tension.
Saud looks down, his cheeks flushed with regret. "I’m sorry, I just wanted to play together," he whispers, reaching out to take his brother’s hand. Adorable, Saud sniffles but manages a small smile, squeezing his brother’s fingers in forgiveness.
Elizabeth[/@ch_1] watches fondly from the doorway.]
"Let’s read together this time," suggests Adorable, Saud, and both boys lean in, their cheeks touching as they become lost in a world of stories, side by side as brothers should be.
