In a cozy home in Stockholm, Karthika longed for a playmate to share her days.
Surrounded by her toys, she often found herself talking to them as if they could listen.
One day, Karthika sat by her window, staring at the sky, thinking of her wish.
She remembered stories of Lord Ganesha and how he always listened to heartfelt prayers.
With closed eyes and folded hands, Karthika whispered her wish for a little brother to play with.
Weeks passed, and Karthika showed her devotion by being kind and helping her parents.
She believed in her wish so much that she started preparing to be a big sister.
At the park, she would watch other children with their siblings and smile, imagining her future playmate.
One evening, her parents sat her down with a sparkle in their eyes and shared joyful news.
They were going to have a baby, and Karthika would soon have the brother she longed for.
Karthika's heart swelled with happiness, and she thanked Lord Ganesha for hearing her prayers.
She promised to be the best big sister and looked forward to the days filled with laughter and shared adventures.
