Just as they were about to light the first sparkler, disaster struck! Aarav accidentally dropped the box, and the sparklers scattered everywhere. In the chaos, the box flew into the bushes! Aahana Singh felt a pang of worry. How could they celebrate Diwali without sparklers? Her heart sank as she stared into the dark bushes, feeling the weight of disappointment.

Aahana Singh felt a shadow of doubt creep in. What if they couldn’t find the box? What if the festival was ruined? Aarav looked worried too, and they both stood there, unsure of what to do. The laughter around them felt distant, and Aahana Singh couldn't shake the feeling that this Diwali might not be as bright as she had hoped.

In that moment of uncertainty, Aahana Singh’s heart felt heavy. She took a deep breath and whispered to herself, ‘I must be brave.’ But even with the lantern’s soft glow, fear flickered in her mind. Would they ever find the sparklers? Would the festival be the same without them? Tears threatened to spill, but Aahana Singh knew she had to try.
