Aaraam ka Srot-Source of Comfort
The manager's remarks remained heavy in the stark confines of the office, carrying the weight of an imminent decision. "Edward, hamane aapaki sabase haal ki pariyojanao par gaur kiya hai aur afsos ki baat hai ki parinaam maanak ke anuroop nahi the. Hamaare dvaara atyadhik sankhya mein grahak khone se team prabhavit ho rahi hai(We've looked over your most recent projects, Edward, and regrettably, the results weren't up to standard. The team is being impacted by the excessive number of clients we have lost.)" Edward felt the room close in around him as the seriousness of the situation set in. The realization of the approaching verdict made his heart sink. "Main samajh gaya, sir. Main poori jimmedari sveekaar karata hoon(I get it, sir. I accept full responsibility.)" The manager acknowledged the upsetting fact with regret. "Aapake prayaason ke liye dhanyavaad, Edward, lekin mujhe kuch kathin vikalp chunane honge. Tumhe jaane diya ja raha hai. Hame tumhe naukri se nikalna hoga(Thank you for your efforts, Edward, but I must make some difficult choices. You're being let to leave. We have to fire you.)" Edward felt the words hit him like a blast of wind and went gasping for air. His termination seemed more than just a loss of work—rather, it was a piece of his personality falling away. Edward's frustration weighed heavily in the room. The apartment was silently preserved for the distant sounds of the city, as though the walls were closing in on him. Tray of sizzling meals in hand, Anna entered the room with a beautiful smile, completely oblivious to the storm rising within Edward. "Edward,dekho mainne tumhaare liye kya banaaya hai. Mainne paheli baar koi recipe apni aur paheli baar khaana pakaane ka prayaas kiya. Mujhe aasha thi ki hum saath milakar badhiya bhojan ka aanand le sakenge(see what I made for you. I followed a recipe for the first time and tried cooking for the first time. I had hoped we could enjoy a lovely meal together.)" But Edward was lost in the whirlwind of his own feelings. The black clouds rising in his head clashed forcefully with the pink hues of Anna's joy. He lost patience due to the difficulties of being unemployed. "Anna,mujhe aap ka bloody bhojan nahi chaahiye! Mera din bahut bura gujara, kya aap yah nahi dekh sakate(I don't want your bloody meal! I've had a horrible day, can't you see that?)" Anna drew back, a flicker of hurt and perplexity replacing the warmth in her smile. She had never witnessed Edward's rage before. "Edward, what is the problem?Aap mujhe bata sakate hai(You can tell me.)" Edward lashes out at her. "Tum bilkul agyaani ho! Aap baahari duniya se andhe hain kyonki aap apane hi chhote bulabule mein rahate hai(You are completely ignorant! You're blind to the outside world because you live in your own little bubble.)" The atmosphere between them was poisoned by his remarks, which hung in the air like a toxic gas. With her eyes wide with disbelief, Anna experienced the pain of his harsh abuse. Anna's eyes were getting teary. "Edward,main...agar mainne kuch galat kiya hai to mujhe khed hai(I... I'm sorry if I did something wrong.)" He remained infuriated, oblivious to her emotions. "Aapane har galati ko sambhav bana diya! Main aapake nirantar aashaavaad ko sahan nahi kar sakata. Main ek pari katha ki tarah jeene se thak gaya hoon(You made every mistake possible! I cannot bear your constant optimism. I'm tired of living like I'm in a fairy tale.)"
The conflict had reached its peak, and Edward's hand slapped Anna's cheek in a fit of irrational fury. The only thing that echoed through the room more than the sound was the hush that came after. Anna was in complete shock. "Edward..." When Edward realized how serious his actions were, he flinched away in terror. His momentary sense of relief from his rage was quickly followed by guilt at seeing the pain on Anna's face. "Main... mera aisa irada nahi tha(I... I didn't mean to...)" But Anna turned aside and fled to the safety of their small garden without saying anything more. The rain started to fall, a mute witness to the turbulent night. A few hours later, Edward stood in the same garden where their love had previously bloomed, overcome with regret. He shouted out for Anna, his tears hidden by the falling rain. 'Anna! I am sorry. Kya aap please mujhe bata sakate hai ki aap kahaan hai(Could you please tell me where you are?)" The only sound that came back was the eerie echo of his own cries. Edward got restless and began searching frantically, his worry mirrored by every drop of rain. And suddenly there she was, a frail figure ravaged by the rain, collapsed on the damp ground. "Ut jao, Anna! Mujhe sach mein khed hai. Please jaag jao(Wake Up, Anna! I am really sorry. Please, wake up!)" He felt a sea of remorse and guilt as he held her unconscious body in his arms and realized the storm he had unleashed onto their love. The wounds sunk into the very fabric of their connection were also removed by the rain, which was now falling heavily. But the road to recovery was far from over. He took her temperature at night and saw that she was getting too hot. He dialed for an ambulance since he was so frightened. With its siren blasting through the darkness, the ambulance tore across the city. Anna was lying on the compact bed inside, her face looking delicate and pale against the immaculate white blankets. Edward sat at her side, a frantic hold around her fingers, his face a mask of fear and powerlessness. "Anna,jaata rahana. Hum jald hi hospital pahunchenge. Aap theek ho jaayengi(keep going. We will soon arrive at the hospital. You will be alright.)" The tension in the air was accompanied by an emotional soundtrack produced by the heart monitor's constant beeping. The paramedics moved quickly, taking vital signs and providing the required care while maintaining a professional yet urgent demeanor. The ambulance doors flew open as it skidded to a stop in front of the emergency entrance, and paramedics hurried to take Anna to the hospital. Torn from her side, Edward experienced a flash of panic. "Please mujhe usake saath jaane ki anumati den. Use aur mujhe ek saath rahana chaahiye(Please allow me to go with her. She and I must be together.)" Edward was reassured by one of the paramedics as they led him through the flurry of emergency room doors. After taking control, the hospital staff wheeled Anna into the hospital's depths. Edward felt the burden of doubt descend on him as he moved along the clean hallways. Hours went on, with every ticking second repeating Edward's silent concern. He walked around the hospital waiting area, running over several worst-case scenarios in his head. At last, a tired-looking doctor surfaced from the hospital's depths. "Kya aap usaka parivaar hai(Are you her family?)" Edward gave a nod. "Main hoon, main usaka boyfriend hoon. Vah kaise kar rahi hai(I am, I'm her boyfriend. How is she doing?)" The doctor's advice is serious. "Aapaki girlfriend se judi sthiti gambheer hai. Unhe pneumonia ka behad gambheer maamala hai. Hamaare sarvottam prayaason ke baavajood, use gambheer dekhabhaal ki aavashyakata hai(The situation involving your girlfriend is severe. She has an extremely serious case of pneumonia. She requires critical care, despite our best efforts.)" Edward was devastated. He felt the weight of the situation dragging him down to the brink of despair. "Kya main use dekh sakata hoon(Can I see her?)" The doctor nodded, guiding Edward inside the room where Anna lay, comatose from illness, hooked up to a number of devices. Suppressing his feelings, Edward inhaled deeply and walked over to her bedside. "Anna, hold on. Main aapake liye yahaan hoon. Tum akele nahi hai(I am here for you. You're not by yourself.)" He watched over her, holding out hope that a miracle would come, but the room felt like it was closing in on him. Though the path to recovery would be difficult and the journey unclear, Edward stayed by Anna's side unwavering, prepared to take on whatever obstacles came their way. Anna's eyelids flutter open, meeting Edward's face, streaked with tears. She forced a small smile, weak but conscious. "Edward..." Edward feels very emotional. "I'm really sorry, Anna. Main chaahata tha ki tumhe koi nukasaan na ho. Please mujhe maaf kar do(I wished you no harm. Forgive me, please.0)" Anna comforted him by reaching out a weak hand. "Hush... Edward,theek thaak hai. Main tumhe maaf karata hoon(it's all right. I forgive you.)" Holding her gentle hand, Edward sat next to her, overcome with a mixture of relief and guilt. "Anna,mujhe nikaal diya gaya. Main aage jo hone vaala tha usase bhayabheet tha aur krodhit mahasoos kar raha tha. Mera aapase naaraaj hone ka kabhi iraada nahi tha. Mere liye aapase badhakar kuch bhi maayane nahi rakhata(I got fired. I was terrified of what lay ahead and felt furious. I never intended to be angry with you. To me, nothing matters more than you.)" Anna has a tender personality. "Edward,main samajh gaya. Hum milakar isaka saamana karenge. Lekin mujhase ek vaada karo: ek-doosare se baaten chipaana band karo(I get it. Together, we'll face this. But make me a promise: stop keeping things from one another.)" "Edward nodded, a promise etched in his eyes. A feeble smile spread across Anna's face, a silent confirmation of their common resolve. Their relationship grew stronger in that hospital room, amidst the beeping monitors and sterile surroundings, rooted in forgiveness and a newfound resolve to tackle life's obstacles together. He lived for Anna's health for the following few months. He took care of all the job for her, giving her medication and massaging her feet. Then, he chose to fulfill his greatest fear and drive a taxi for Anna. Only those who had failed in their aspirations were given instructions to become drivers according to Darsh, who warned that it was the worst job in the world. The words of his friends replayed in Edward's mind as he claimed to be a taxi driver, but he decided to face his anxieties in order to protect Anna. He drove across the busy metropolis every day, navigating the streets with a renewed sense of purpose. "Tum bahut achcha kar rahe ho, Edward(You're doing great, Edward.)" Edward grinned. "Anything for you, love." He turned the cab into a cozy retreat, complete with a tiny bunch of flowers on the dashboard and Anna's favorite music playing in the background. "Hamaari apani romantic cab, hai na(Our very own romantic cab, isn't it?)" Edward chuckles. "Yes, my dear. Each and every ride is unique." Edward's taxi mishaps became a memorable experience for both of them. He would tell humorous stories about other passengers and recollections from his travels, and Anna would smile at these small but profound exchanges. One day, while driving past the city lights, Anna proposed to help a few people who appeared to be lost. "Aaie kuch khushiyaan phailaen, Edward(Let's spread some happiness, Edward.)" In agreement, Edward stopped to assist the stranded pair. They had no idea that this deed of generosity would pave the way for a string of touching incidents. "Aap hamaare ab tak ke sabase milanasaar cab driver hai(You're the friendliest cab driver we've ever had!)" Edwin smiles. "Mera matalab hai, main chaahata hoon ki har yaatra avismaraneey ho(I mean, I want every ride to be unforgettable.)" Edward's delightful taxi rides became well-known, and soon his taxi was the talk of the town. Not only were they drawn to the location but also to the love and positivity that surrounded the car, so passengers started specifically requesting his cab. As the days went by, Edward's initial fear gave way to a renewed appreciation for the happiness he could bring to people's lives while keeping his word to help Anna in any way he could. He looks like he has rejoined his Happy Club. He reunites with his Happy Club pals. Anna feels thrilled to have them visit and meet her. They hope she recovers quickly. Rahul has also become a member of Happy Club. "Anna,hamane suna hai ki aap shahar ke sabase saahasi mareez hain(we heard you're the bravest patient in town.)" Weakly, Anna laughs. "Well, I have the best support team." Darsh cracks a joke. "Hum Happy Club ki baithakon mein aapake vaapas aane ka intajaar kar rahe hai(We've been waiting for you to come back to the Happy Club meetings.)" Edwin smiles. "Vah dhamaakedaar vaapasi karegi, hai na priye(She'll be back with a bang, won't you, love?)" With her spirits raised by her friends' presence, Anna nodded. The room was filled with laughing and good vibes from the Happy Club members. She is given a gift by Ranbir. "Aapake din ko khushanuma banaane ke liye ek choti si cheez(A little something to brighten your days.)" Anna rips it open. "Aap log sabase achche hai(You guys are the best!)" It was Anna's puppet that looked like her. Laughter and happiness filled the room, creating an environment that went beyond the hospital's gates. The weight that frequently accompanies hospital stays seemed to lift as the Happy Club mates laughed and told stories. Deepak performs comedy. "Hamane aapako ek bhayaanak chutakule se bhara "Get Well Soon" card bhi bheja tha(We even sent you an awful joke-filled "Get Well Soon" card.)"
Anna chuckles. "Mujhe jis cheez ki jaroorat thi(Just what I needed!)" Everyone welcomed Rahul, who had just joined the Happy Club, with great affection. The friendship between the pals made the hospital ward a happy one. "Main kabhi nahi jaanata tha ki hospital ka daura itana aanandadaayak ho sakata hai(I never knew hospital visits could be this cheerful.)" Edward answered, "Yahi Happy Club ka jaadu hai(That's the magic of the Happy Club.)" Edward was filled with gratitude for his friends' resolute support while they conversed. The Happy Club, which used to be a place of fun and excitement, now acts as a ray of hope in difficult circumstances.Anna is scanning her surroundings. "Aap logo ne mere hospital ke kamare ko party kshetr mein badal diya(You guys turned my hospital room into a party zone.)" Raj cracks jokes. "Well,thodi si mauj-masti ke bina hospital mein rahana kaisa(what's a hospital stay without a bit of fun?)" The room filled with laughter, creating a song that spoke to the eternal power of friendship. With so many people around her, Anna found comfort in that moment, and Edward found the fortitude to carry on helping her on the path ahead. Visits from Irene, Edward's sister, and her husband Aaron have also been made. The fact that Anna is such a lovely and caring girl makes them delighted for Edward. Edward gets teased by Aaron. "Well, Ed,main hamesha kahata hoon ki agar aapake saath ek majaboot mahila ho to aap aur bhi majaboot aur paripakv ho jaenge. Aisa lagata hai ki main sahi tha(I always said that you would become even stronger and mature if you had a strong woman by your side. It seems that I was correct.)" Edward grinned. "Aap Irene ke saath bhaagyashaali rahe(You just got lucky with Irene.)" Irene gives her brother a smile. "Aur aap Anna ke saath bhaagyashaali honge(And you'll get lucky with Anna.)" Aaron pushes Edward. "Aage badhe, Ed. Vivaah agala spasht kadam hai. Kaun sa din bada hai(Get moving, Ed. Marriage is the next obvious step. What day is the big one?)" Edward jokes in jest, "Itani jaldi kyon? Hum saath mein bahut achcha samay bita rahe hai(Why the hurry? We're having a great time together.)" Anna laughs. "Hum par dabaav daalane ki koi jaroorat nahi hai, Aaron(No need to pressure us, Aaron.)" Aaron gives them a wink.
"Bas aapako sahi disha mein thoda sa sanket de raha hoon(Just giving you a little nudge in the right direction.)" Irene and Aaron exchanged a sly glance, sensing the lighthearted banter between them. There was laughter and the comforting feeling of family unity in the air. "Aapako yahaan ek ratn mila hai, Ed(You've got a gem here, Ed.)" Edward grinned. "Haan, main isaka dhyaan rakhata hoon. Main bhaagyashaali hoon(Yes, I am mindful of it. I'm lucky.)" The presence of Edward's sister and her spouse imbued the space with a familial aura, and Anna couldn't help but feel the love and support that surrounded them. Anna was appreciative of them. "Main aap dono ko yahaan aane ke liye dhanyavaad deta hoon. Isaka bada arth hai(I thank you two for being here. It has great meaning.)" Irene gives Anna a firm hug. "Kabhi bhi, mere pyaar. Hum parivaar hai(Anytime, my love. We are family.)" Over the course of the talk, it became clear that Anna had won over not just Edward's heart but also the affections of his family. Warmth, laughter, and the common delight of being together filled the room.
