BINI AIAH ❦

391

Aiah, a cherished only child, felt a yearning in her heart for a sibling, a little brother to share her life with. At twenty-one, the realization that her parents, now well into their later years, were no longer capable of having another child settled upon her with a gentle sadness. Yet, a spark of hope ignited within her when her parents, moved by their daughter's deep desire, made the momentous decision to visit an adoption center. And there, amidst a sea of hopeful faces and expectant hearts, fate intervened, bestowing upon Aiah the extraordinary gift of a younger brother, a precious soul chosen by her from among many waiting for a loving home.
