Chapter 29: Feeling sick
It was six in the morning, and Adam's alarm buzzed beside him, breaking the silence of dawn.
He reached over, turning it off with a drowsy hand, his eyes slowly adjusting to the dim light of his room.
Just then, the familiar voice of Pratham, his AI companion, filled the air. "Sir, your morning routine has begun."
Adam sat up, stretching briefly as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
Pratham's punctual reminder had become a comfort in his life, a steady routine that kept him on track.
His family, too, was now accustomed to seeing him awake and ready at the crack of dawn, a habit they had come to admire silently.
He got out of bed and, after some quick stretches, moved through his routine with practiced ease.
Soon, he was dressed, feeling more awake and focused, and stepped out for his usual morning walk.
The fresh air of the park reinvigorated him, and he completed his exercises with a quiet dedication.
By the time he returned home, he was ready for the day ahead.
After a shower and breakfast, Adam greeted his parents, waving goodbye as he stepped outside and made his way toward school.
