(Khaled's voice, muffled): What you want, Elara. I thought I asked you to leave tray and leave.
Elara: (Hesitates, her voice tight with a mixture of anxiety and determination) I…I'm taking Asrar to the park.
Khaled: (A pause, then a sigh barely audible) You know Asrar maybe can't handle it because she's sick.
Elara:She wants to go, Khaled. And… she’s been so down lately. The fresh air will do her good. We’ll take it slow. I promise. We'll just sit on a bench, maybe watch the pigeons.
Khaled: (Silence for a moment, then a low grumble) Just don't let her overexert herself.
(Elara, relief washing over her voice): I won't. Thank you, Khaled.
(Khaled, quieter, almost a murmur): Make sure she wears a hat. And takes her medicine.
Elara: (Feeling unease, her voice wavering slightly) Okay, I'll make her take her medicine... and...
(Another pause. Elara waits, anticipating something more. Finally, Khaled speaks, his voice still muffled but laced with a reluctant concern): don't be late.
Elara: (Her body starts trembling, barely audible) Okay... we'll be back by lunchtime. (She pauses again, her voice rising in pitch slightly, trying to sound normal) Now, I'm going.
Elara's descending footsteps fade slightly. She reaches the bottom of the stairs into the hallway
She walked the hallway until she reaches the asrar room
Elara walks past Asrar's room, the door slightly ajar. She can see Asrar, humming to herself, Happily holding a purple dress . Elara pauses, a faint smile touching her lips despite the heavy feeling in her chest. Asrar is a bright spot in this house,
"Asrar?" Elara calls softly, pushing the door open a bit further.
Asrar looks up, her face lighting up when she sees Elara. "Elara! Look! We're going outside, and I decided to wear this one." She holds up a dress, a purple simple beautiful dress.
Elara kneels down, trying to ignore the sting in her eyes. "It's beautiful, Come, don't you want me to dress you in your beautiful dress
Asrar: (raised her head and said excited) Yess
Elara laughed at asrar Actions . Elara dressed asrar
Elara said laughing : here we go
Asrar spins with the dress, her short, curly hair Floating in the air whole. she spinning in her dress
Asrar said excited : is it pretty.
Elara : it beautiful and It suits you perfectly.
Asrar went to the mirror , she start looking at her self in the mirror . Asrar were happily twirling left and right in front of the mirror.
Elara smiled at Asrar, then turned to choose shoes, carefully packing a pair of comfortable walking shoes.
Realizing she'd forgotten Asrar's hat, Elara set down the shoes and began searching through the bag.
Elara, now with a determined look on her face, rummages through Asrar's bag.
Elara: (Muttering to herself) Now, where is it? Khaled was insistent... Hat, medicine... hat... Ah, here it is!
She pulls out a simple, straw sun hat. She turns back to Asrar, who is still happily twirling in front of the mirror, lost in her own world of purple dresses and self-admiration.
Elara: Asrar, ssweetheart come here for a moment.
Asrar promptly stops spinning in front of the mirror and runs to Elara
Asrar: Yes?
Elara, shows her the hat.
Elara: Khaled wants you to wear this. The sun is strong today.
Asrar pauses for a moment.
Asrar: But I don't want to wear a hat. It covers my hair!
Elara: (Kneeling again, gently placing the hat on Asrar's head) I know, sweetie, but it will protect your face. And… (She hesitates, forcing a smile) it looks very fashionable on you. Like a little… a little explorer!
Asrar giggles, momentarily forgetting her reluctance.
Asrar: An explorer? Where are we exploring?
Elara: We're going to explore the park . We'll look for pretty flowers and maybe even see some birds.
