Today, Sumit woke up with a smile. He stretched and looked at the calendar. It was his birthday!

Sumit put on his favorite blue shirt. 'Today will be a great day!' he thought, feeling happy and excited.

He joined Aishwarya, his kind partner. 'Happy Birthday!' she said, giving him a card that sparkled.

They had breakfast, talking about the plans for the day. They wanted to do something meaningful together.

'Do you know today is also important because it is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women?' asked Aishwarya.

Sumit nodded. 'Yes, and I want to honor it. Let's join the community event to show our support.'

Together, they cleaned up and headed to the community center where people were gathered to raise awareness.

Sumit listened and learned. He made a promise to always stand up for respect and equality.

After the event, Sumit and Aishwarya held hands and walked home, feeling proud to have made a difference.

Back home, Aishwarya surprised Sumit with a small cake. 'Make a wish,' she said with a smile.

Sumit closed his eyes and wished for a world where everyone is safe and loved, blowing out the candles.

They ended the day curled up on the sofa, grateful for each other and their shared values of love and respect.
