They inform the entire family about the news. Sunny is making an announcement. "Please sabhi log ekatrit hon! Jum kuch adbhut samaachaar saajha karana chahenge(Everyone, please gather! We would like to share some wonderful news.)" With anticipation visible on their faces, the Kuruvilla family gathers in the living room. Agnes is beaming. "Ek naye sadasy dvaara hamaare parivaar ke badhane ke liye taiyaar ho jaie! Hamaara ek bacha hai(Get ready for our family to grow by a new member ! We're having a child!)" Ammachi is delighted. "Oh,hum kitane dhany hain! Hamaare ghar mein khushiyaan badhaane ke liye ek chota sa(how blessed we are! A small one to increase the happiness in our home.)" Given that this is Agnes's child, Manorama is being sarcastic as usual. "Theek hai theek hai. Is "madhyamavathi" parivaar ka ek aur sadasy(All right, all right. Another member of this "middle-class" family.)" Lynette's eyes are moist. "Ye avishvasniya hai! Koi chota nephew ya niece aane vaala hai! Haalaanki mainne apana bacha kho diya hai, yah bacha mujhe maatrtv ka ek chota sa hissa de sakata hai(That's unbelievable! A small nephew or niece is on the way! Although I lost my child, this baby may give me a small piece of motherhood.)" Juanita can't wait to spend time with her younger sister."Agnes,aap sabase achchi maan banane ja rahi hain(you're going to be the best mom!)" 

Thomas gave Sunny a back pat. "Mere bete, badhai ho. Aap Papa banenge(My boy, congratulations. You will become a dad.)" Matthew has a smile on his face. "Kya adbhut samaachaar hai! Main sabase coolest Maama banoonga(What wonderful news! I will be the the coolest uncle.)" Rony nods awkwardly. "Uh, yeah, congrats." The announcement of the new member of the Kuruvilla clan is met with applause, laughing, and well wishes from the entire family. With much enthusiasm, SJ shows them around the newly converted nursery, which was once his office space. "Surprise!Mere paas chote bachche ke liye ek vishesh upahaar hai(I have a special present for the little child.)" The room is beautifully designed, with a comfy crib, toys, and charming baby-themed décor for the family to enjoy together. SJ gestures toward the crib. "Paalane ko dekho - yah sheersh paayadaan par hai! Aur in khilaunon par ek nazar daalen. Hum ek aanandamay bachapan ke liye poori tarah taiyaar hain(Look at the crib—it's top-notch! And have a peek at these toys. We're all set for a joyful childhood.)" 

Everything is overwhelming Agnes. "SJ,bahut shaanadaar! Main vaastav mein aapako yah sab aayojit karane ke liye dhanyavaad deta hoon(this is incredible! I truly thank you organizing all of this.)" Sunny is appreciative of the gifts. "Aapane vaastav mein khud ko maat de di hai, SJ. Yah kamara hamaare bache ke saath bahut hit hone vaala hai(You've really outdone yourself, SJ. This room is going to be a hit with our baby.)" Ammachi teasingly makes fun of everyone. "Aisa lagata hai ki hum bache se jyaada samay is kamare mein bitaenge(Looks like we'll be spending more time in this room than the baby!)" Lynette has strong feelings. "Thank you, SJ. Yah hamaare liye bahut arthapoorn hai(It's very meaningful to us.)" For the newest member of the Kuruvilla family, the room takes on symbolic meaning of happiness and expectation. Every family member is making predictions about whether the child will be a boy or a girl. Juanita is ecstatic. "Mujhe lagata hai ki yah ek ladaka hai! Mainne hamesha kalpana ki hai ki main apane chote bhatiji ka peechha kar raha hoon(I feel that it's a boy! I've always imagined me chasing after my little nephew.)" Thomas is thoughtful. "Khair, yah mujhe ek ladaki ki tarah lagati hai. Apani maan ki tarah hi sundar aur aakarshak)Well, it seems like a girl to me. Elegant and charming, just like her mother.)" There's a sparkle in Ammachi's eye. "Sabase bada vyakti sabase pahale kahata hai - main kahata hoon ki yah ek ladaki hogi, jo sundarata aur buddhimatta se sampann hogi(The eldest gets the first say – I say it's going to be a girl, blessed with beauty and intelligence.)" Once again, Manorama is sharp. "Agnes ko jaanane ke baad, yah sambhavatah judavaan hoga - ek ladaka aur ek ladaki, bas ise jatil banaane ke liye(Knowing Agnes, it'll probably be twins – a boy and a girl, just to make it complicated.)" SJ is upbeat. "Jo bhi ho, hamaare paas bigaadane ke liye ek aur chota sa Kuruvilla hoga(Whatever it is, we'll have another little Kuruvilla to spoil!)" Sunny has a sly smile. "Yah ek rahasy hai - hamaara bachcha abhi ise surakshit rakh raha hai.(It's a secret – our baby's keeping it safe for now.)" Agnes is joking around. "Main nahi jaanata, lekin mujhe aasha hai ki yah apane Papa ki tarah hi sharaarati hoga(I don't know, but I hope it's as mischievous as its father.)" The family imagines about the newest member of the Kuruvilla clan while laughing and enjoying each other's company. For them, the family throws a surprise baby shower. During the surprise baby shower held in honor of Sunny and Agnes, Thakadiel was converted into a vibrant and lively place, creating an atmosphere of excitement and joy. A joyous and celebratory atmosphere enveloped the entire Kuruvilla home thanks to decorations, balloons, and fragrant flowers. Family members and friends cheered and applauded Agnes as she entered the room. Lynette took the lead in planning the celebration because she was eager to restore some happiness to the family following the recent hardships. Everyone was gathered around Agnes, who was beaming with excitement about becoming a mother, and the room was filled with lively conversation and laughter. " Yah sab aapake aur hamaare bache, aur tumhaare liye hai Agnes, mere priy. Aaie aaj adbhut yaaden banaen(This is all for you and our baby, Agnes, my dear. Today, let's create wonderful memories.)" The baby's gender was kept a secret until the big reveal with a combination of pink and blue decorations in the room. Delicious treats, such as cupcakes and chocolates, covered tables, and a gorgeous cake took center stage. 

Ammachi is making jokes. "Yah shaayad ek ladaki hai. Gulaabi rang ki prachurata par dhyaan den(It's probably a girl. Pay attention to the abundance of pink.)" Juanita has a sly smile. "Ya shaayad yah ek chatur chaal hai, aur is poore gulaabi rang ke neeche neela rang hai(Or maybe it's a clever trick, and it's blue underneath all this pink.) Sunny was hesitant to join in at first, but he eventually surrendered to the good vibes. Despite his hard appearance, he still held a few reservations about his child's approaching arrival. "Khair, aaie jaanen ki bhavishy hamaare liye kya maayane rakhata hai(Well, let's find out what the future holds for us.)" 

There were games, meaningful and heartfelt messages, and a special area where guests could leave wishes and advice for the soon-to-be parents while the celebrations went on. The grand gender reveal for the baby was the event's highlight. Agnes has the box in her grasp. "Kya hum isaka pata lagaane ke liye taiyaar hain(Are we ready to find out?)" 

Agnes opened the box to witness an explosion of pink balloons and confetti, and silence fell over the crowd. "Aisa lagata hai ki yah ladakiyon se bhara ghar hoga(Looks like it's going to be a house full of girls.)" Everyone in the room hailed the news with cheers and applause. With her family's affection and warmth around her, Agnes couldn't have wished for a more perfect baby shower. Despite her tears, Lynette is delighted for them. "Oh,nanheen raajakoomaari! Manamohak poshaaken aur chote tiara pahale se hi mere dimaag mein hain(a little princess! The adorable dresses and little tiaras are already in my mind.)" Ammachi has a grin. "Jaisa ki mainne bhavishyavaani ki thi - ek khoobasoorat ladaki hamaare parivaar mein aur adhik shobha laegi(Just like I predicted – a beautiful girl to bring more grace to our family.)" Sunny feels a sense of pride. "Aisa lagata hai ki ye adbhut mahilaen mujh par bhaari padengi. Main utsuk hoon ki hamaari choti bachi har kisi se mile(Looks like these amazing women will outnumber me. I am eager for our little girl to meet everyone.)" Juanita is thrilled. "Shaayad yah sahi nahi hai ki vah ek ladaka tha, lekin kam se kam ab mere paas bigaadane ke liye koi to hai. Mainne pahale hi sahi naam chun liya hai(Maybe it's not correct that it was a boy, but at least I have someone to spoil now. I've already chosen the perfect name.)" It's Manorama's first time to smile. "Aisa prateet hota hai ki Kuruvilla ki virasat jaari hai. Yah ek ladaki hai(It appears that the Kuruvilla legacy continues. It's a girl.)" SJ jokes with Sunny. "Hamaare liye saubhagya hai, Papa Sunny, hamen aapako niyantran mein rakhane ke liye ek aur mahila mil gai hai(Lucky for us, Papa Sunny, we've got another lady to keep you in check.)" Agnes is joyful. "Hamaari nanhi rajakumaari ke chaaron or dher saara pyaar hoga. Main use pakadane ke liye bahut utsaahit hoon(There is going to be plenty of love surrounding our little princess. I am very excited to hold her.)" The newborn girl's upcoming arrival is celebrated by the family with joy, presents, and well wishes. Thakadiel was made to feel snug during the quiet hours of the night by the gentle illumination of the living room lamps. After a long day at work, Sunny came home to find Agnes resting on the couch with an affectionate grin on her face. As they relished the quiet before the storm of parenthood, a sense of tranquility permeated the room. Sunny gives a smile in return. "Lamba din, lekin aapake ghar aana ise saarthak banaata hai(Long day, but coming home to you makes it worthwhile.)" Agnes raised her head, love glimmering in her eyes. A comforting background was created by the soft murmur of other family members' conversations. "Mujhe tumhaara intazaar tha(I've been waiting for you.)" Sunny approached Agnes and leaned in to give her a soft kiss on the forehead. Then he took a seat next to her and put an arm around her shoulders. "Aaj hamaara choti bachi kaisa kar raha hai(How's our little one doing today?)" Agnes giggled and touched her growing belly with Sunny's fingers. Sunny's eyes brightened with wonder at the sensation of their baby moving beneath his touch. "Vah aaj kaafi sakriy hai, kick maar rahi hai aur dance kar rahi hai(She's been quite active today, kicking and dancing.)" Sunny smiled, a mixture of affection and excitement coursing through him. He began speaking to their unborn child, a custom they had formed over the course of several months. "Namaste, choti bachi. Yah tumhaara boodha aadami hai. Duniya par raaj karane ke liye poori tarah taiyaar(Hi there, little one. It's your old man. All set to rule the world?)" With amazement, Agnes watched Sunny, her heart exploding with love for the man at her side and the unborn child developing inside her. "Use duniya ka sabase acha Papa milane vaala hai(She's going to have the best dad in the world.)" Sunny couldn't help but be in amazement at the miracle happening inside Agnes as they carried on sharing this intimate moment. His fingertips made a connection with the small life they were bringing into the world as they softly stroked patterns on her belly. "Main usase milane ke liye, use apani baahon mein pakadane ke liye intajaar nahi kar sakata(I can't wait to meet her, to hold her in my arms.)" Agnes placed her hand over Sunny's in a quiet affirmation of their mutual happiness and excitement. The atmosphere in the room was one of deep love and gratitude, which set the stage for the wonderful road trip they were about to embark on together. Thakadiel was bathed with a pleasant shading by the gentle twilight glow. Agnes chose to fix a flickering lightbulb that had been flickering out for days because she was determined to be useful. She was gently reaching out from a stool, her attention focused on the work at hand. Ammachi is concerned. "Agnes,mere bachi, saavadhaan raho. Aisa prateet hota hai ki mal vishesh roop se sthir nahi hai(my child, be careful. It appears that the stool is not particularly steady.)" Agnes smiled confidently and sought to comfort Ammachi, her hands extended upward. "Chinta mat karo, Ammachi. Yah kuch aisa hai jise main prabandhit kar sakata hoon(Don't worry, Ammachi. This is something I can manage.)" Everyone's attention was drawn to the stool's abrupt wobble just as she was going to secure the lightbulb. Ammachi's eyes grew wide with worry as Agnes tried to gain her balance. Sunny, who just so happened to be passing by, responded without hesitation. He sprang at Agnes, catching her at the last moment with a tight grasp. Sunny's scolded her harshly. "Agnes! Aap kya soch rahe the? Aap bachi aur svayan ko chot pahuncha sakate the(What were you thinking? You could have hurt the infant and yourself.)" With a mixture of astonishment and gratitude, Agnes glanced down at Sunny after being slightly surprised. Ammachi came over to them, looking more nervous now.

 "Sunny,bhagavaan ka shukr hai ki aap vahaan the. Agnes, tumhe abhi adhik saavadhaan rahana chaahiye(Thank God you were there. Agnes, you should be more careful right now.)" Even though Sunny was still hugging Agnes tightly, he was clearly worried. Sunny becomes frustrated with her. "Ammachi sahi hai. Hamaare paas asafalta ke liye koi jagah nahi hai. Main lightbulb theek kar doonga. Aapako hamaare bachi ki suraksha aur apani bhalai ko pahale rakhana chaahiye(Ammachi is correct. We have no room for failure. I'll fix the lightbulb. You must put our child's safety and your own well-being first.)" Agnes acknowledged the gravity of the situation with a nod. Sunny made sure she was stable on her feet. "Mainne nahi socha tha ki yah itani badi baat hogi(I didn't think it would be such a big deal.)" Sunny's smile becomes softer. "Aapako hamaare nanhe-munni ke liye theek aur surakshit rahana hoga. Mujhe inaki dekhabhaal karane ki anumati den(You have to be well and safe for our little one. Allow me to take care of these.)" Sunny took responsibility for changing the lightbulb, and as Sunny did so, Agnes, who had come to appreciate her husband's protectiveness, couldn't help but smile. The event served as a gentle reminder of their shared responsibility for the precious life that was developing inside of her. One afternoon, Agnes was occupying herself with a surprise for Sunny while the sun cast a golden glow over Thakadiel. She had made the decision to recreate the garden where they had first had feelings, complete with a candlelit meal. She wanted to infuse their connection with a little enchantment. Sunny, meantime, had an exhausting day at work managing multiple tasks and pressing deadlines. He felt a great deal of exhaustion when he stepped into Thakadiel. "Sunny,main tumhe aashcharyachakit karane ja raha hoon! Bageecha dekho(I'm going to surprise you! See the garden.)" Sunny wasn't in the mood for surprises because he was still overwhelmed by the obligations of the day. He thought Agnes was trying to add one more task to his already full day, but he misread her intentions. "Agnes,abhi nahi. Office par yah mere liye pareshaani bhara din raha. Mujhe bas kuch neend ki zaroorat hai(not now. It's been an upsetting day at work for me. All I need is some sleep.)" His apparent lack of enthusiasm disappointed Agnes, who took his tiredness for a lack of interest in what she was doing. "Mujhe ummeed thi ki isase aapake chehare par muskaan aa jaegi. Koi baat nahi. Rahane bhi do(I hoped that this would make you smile. Never mind. Forget it.)" 

Unaware of her romantic intentions, Sunny took her reaction as an annoyance and was perplexed as to why she appeared offended. "Sunny. Ise najarandaj karo. Main tumhe kuch bhi karane ke liye majaboor karane se bachana chaahata hoon(Ignore it. I want to avoid forcing you into doing anything.)" What was supposed to be a lovely surprise became an unexpected source of tension as a result of the miscommunication that persisted for some time. Agnes felt undervalued and Sunny felt guilty for not seeing something crucial, while Sunny felt mistreated her hard work. Over the next few days, their relationships were clouded by the misunderstanding, which caused temporary damage between them. To clear the clouds and return Thakadiel to sunshine, it would require some open discussion and an understanding of the crossed wires. Tears filled Agnes's eyes as she sat by herself in her chamber. Sunny was upset and confused by her unexpected rage. She mentally went through events again, attempting to identify what was frustrating him. A knock pierced the stillness as she sat there. Ammachi is worried. "Agnes,kya main andar aa sakata hoon(may I come in?)" With a nod, Agnes brushed aside her tears and let Ammachi in. Seeing the sorrow in Agnes's eyes, Ammachi sat next to her and consoled her. "Mere priy, kya hua? Tumhe kya pareshaan kar raha hai(My darling, what happened? What's making you upset?)" Agnes was breaking in her voice. "Ammachi,mujhe yakeen nahi hai. Mujhe nahi pata kyon, lekin Sunny aajakal mujhase bahut naaraaz hain. Vah mujhase baat karane se bachata hai(I'm not sure. I don't know why, but Sunny is really angry with me these days. He avoids talking to me.)" Perceptive as ever, Ammachi felt there was a misunderstanding here that needed to be cleared up. Ammachi has a soft nature. "Log apana bojh svayan uthaate hain, aur kabhi-kabhi ve chunautiyaan doosaron par phail jaati hain. Mujhe Sunny se baat karane aur usaki samasyaen jaanane ki anumati deejie(People carry their own burdens, and sometimes those challenges spill over onto others. Allow me to speak with Sunny and find out his problems.)" Ammachi gave Agnes a comforting slap on the back before leaving to go to find Sunny. She was aware that the secret to getting these issues resolved was communication. Ammachi's sudden appearance stunned Sunny, who was deep in concentration. "Sunny,Agnes aur aapake beech kya galat hua? Main use is tarah se nahi dekh sakata - vah ro rahi hai(what went wrong between Agnes and you? I can't stand to watch her like that—she's crying.)" Sunny feels furious. "Yah usake baare mein nahi hai, Ammachi. Mujhe bas kuch jagah chaahiye kyonki main bahut mehanat kar raha hoon(It's not about her, Ammachi. I just need some space because I'm working so hard.)" Ammachi is unwavering. "Vah tumhaari patni hai, Sunny. Use aapaki chinta hai. Use baahar karane ka yah koi tareeka nahi hai. Usase baat karo aur use andar aane do(She's your wife, Sunny. She worries about you. This isn't the way by shutting her out. Talk to her and let her in.)" Taking a deep breath, Sunny realized that his irritation had unintentionally injured Agnes. He went back to Agnes's room with Ammachi in company. "Sunny yahaan hai, Agnes. Ek - doosare se baatacheet karana(Sunny is here, Agnes. Talk with each other.)" Sunny took a moment to compose himself before speaking. "Mujhe khed hai, Agnes. Isaka aapase koi lena - dena nahi hai. Main ise aap par thopane ke liye kshama chaahata hoon; kaam ke dauraan mere bahut bure din beete(I am sorry, Agnes. It has nothing to do with you. I apologize for taking it out on you; I just had awful days at work.)" Agnes looked up, anguish still lingering in her eyes. "Sunny,aaie us cheez se nipaten jo aapako peeda pahuncha rahi hai. Main yahon aapake liye hoon(let's deal with whatever is causing you pain. I'm here for you.)" Sunny nodded, understanding that he should not keep Agnes in the dark about his problems but rather share them with her. After they had reconciled and worked over the misunderstanding, Agnes's tears were replaced by a smile as they embraced. Agnes enjoyed some dark chocolate, and Lynette and Ammachi exchanged each other a cold look. They had no idea why she would do something that might change the baby's skin tone based on long-held beliefs. Lynette is in disagreement. "Agnes,aapake dark chocolate ke upayog mein kya hai? Tumhe pata hai ki isase bache ki tvacha ka rang kaala ho jaega(what's with your dark chocolate use? You know that it will make the baby's skin tone dark.)" Agnes responds to her calmly. "Lynette,mujhe yah sunakar dukh hua, lekin tvacha ke rang ki paravaah kie bina, bachi ka svaasthy sabase pahale aata hai. Mujhe lagata hai ki hum dono ko santulit aahaar lena chaahiye.('m sorry to hear that, but the baby's health comes first, regardless of skin tone. I think we should both maintain a balanced diet.)" Ammachi is enraged. "Agnes,ye vo baaten theen jinhe hamaare poorvaj sach maanate the. Yah keval svaasthy ke baare mein nahi hai; yah yah sunishchit karane ke baare mein hai ki shishu har tarah se aaraamadaayak hai(these were things that our ancestors believed to be true. It's not only about health; it's about making sure the infant is comfortable in every way.)" Agnes tried to convey her point of view with a gentle smile. "Haalaanki samay badal gaya hai, main ab bhi hamaare reeti-rivaajon ka sammaan karata hoon aur chaahata hoon ki bachcha khush aur svasth ho. Kabhi-kabhaar chocolate ka ek tukada khaane se use koi nukasaan nahi hoga(Though times have changed, I still respect our customs and want the baby to grow up happy and healthy. It won't harm her to occasionally have a piece of chocolate.)" Ammachi and Lynette gazed at each other once more, divided as they were between Agnes's contemporary style and their own traditions. Lynette's getting softer. "Shaayad Agnes sahi kah rahi hai jab vah yah kahati hai. Aakhirakaar, vah shishu aur svayan ki utkrsht dekhabhaal kar rahi hai.(Perhaps Agnes is right when she says this. She is, after all, taking excellent care of the infant and herself.)" Ammachi gives a nod. "Aap sachi hain. Hamen samay ke saath chalane ke liye badalana hoga. Agnes, please sunishchit karen ki aap bachi aur apane svaasthy donon ka khyaal rakh rahi hain(You're true. We must change to keep up with the times. Agnes, please make sure you're looking after both the baby's and your health.)" Agnes was relieved that Lynette and Ammachi appeared to understand her point of view. Sunny was determined to be ready as the big day drew near. He'd carefully gathered together a kit, ready for helping Agnes through labor and delivery. The bag was brimming with necessities, everything from comforting items to practical supplies, everything intended to guarantee Agnes's comfort and health. But Agnes's expectations and nervousness increased as the nights grew increasingly sleepless for her. She couldn't find a comfortable posture, so in her sleep she kicked and nudged Sunny, finding comfort in his presence. "Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi, Sunny. Bachi ki vajah se mujhe sone mein pareshaani hoti hai aur main bechain rahati hoon(I can't sleep, Sunny. I have trouble falling asleep because of the baby, and I'm restless.)" Half-awake but always supportive, Sunny didn't mind the interruptions or the kicks. He was prepared to help Agnes because he recognized the discomfort she was feeling. "Chinta mat karo, sab theek ho jaega. Main yahaan hoon. Chaahe aapako kisi cheez ki aavashyakata ho ya aap bas baatacheet karana chaahate hon, main aapaki madad karane ke liye maujood hoon(Don't worry, everything will be Ok. I am here. I'm there to lend a hand whether you need anything or simply want to chat.)" Sunny's words of consolation brought Agnes comfort and peace of mind. In an attempt to get a few hours of sleep before the day they had been excitedly awaiting arrived, she snuggled down closer to him. They enjoyed these peaceful times together in the small light of their room, looking forward to the exciting yet difficult journey ahead of them as a family. The Kuruvilla family was excitedly waiting for their newest member to arrive at the hospital on this day, which had finally arrived. Agnes and Sunny had come for a regular scan, but when the doctor examined the report, the room felt urgent. The baby's heartbeat was difficult to hear, so the doctor advised an emergency C-section. Tension was high in the operating room as the medical staff hurriedly got Agnes ready for the unplanned C-section. The doctor, an experienced professional, stepped closer to Sunny and looked serious. "Mr. Kuruvilla,sthiti ko dhyaan mein rakhate hue, hum abhi C-section shuroo karane ki atyadhik salaah dete hain. Koi spasht dil ki dhadakan nahi hai jisaka hum pata laga saken, aur samay mahatvapoorn hai(considering the situation, we highly advise starting the C-section right now. There's not a clear heartbeat that we can detect, and time is critical.)" Astonished Sunny asked for reassurance. "Doctor,kya Agnes aur bachi theek ho jaayenge(is Agnes and the baby going to be okay?)" The doctor responds. "Hum unhe surakshit rakhane ke liye har sambhav prayaas kar rahe hain. Agar yah mera bachi hota to main abhi sijeriyan operation hi chunati(We're making every effort to keep them safe. The Cesarean is what I would choose right now if it were my child.)" Sunny experienced a sudden wave of panic. As they hurried Agnes into the operation room, he was by her side. He realized that he had left the precisely assembled kit at home. Still, there wasn't time to think about it; Agnes and the baby needed to be safe first. In spite of his nervousness, Sunny nodded. He was at Agnes's side, silently reassuring her while firmly gripping her hand. The medical staff persisted in their frantic job, and before long, the room was filled with the sounds of quiet talks and machines. Sunny felt his heart race as the baby came out. The baby cried out in the room as the doctor gently managed her, signifying a happy and relieved moment. "Congratulations, Mr. Kuruvilla. Aapaki beti achi sehat mein hai(Your baby daughter is in good health.)" Sunny was so full of emotions that he was at a loss for words. Lying on the operation table, Agnes looked at him with streaming eyes, and they both silently thanked God for their daughter's safe delivery. The doctor went on to provide more details. "Bachi ulti nikali, lekin vah bilkul svasth lag rahi hai(the baby came out upside down, but she seems to be perfectly healthy.)" The room laughed and reacted with equal measure of relief to the news. The medical staff carried on with their work, ensuring Agnes and the baby remained stable. Sunny is spoken to by the nurse. "Kya aap use pakadana chaahenge, Mr.Kuruvilla(Would you like to hold her, Mr. Kuruvilla?)" With weeping eyes, Sunny nodded, and the nurse gently laid the infant in his arms. An immense wave of happiness, relief, and love washed over him at seeing his daughter. "Hi there, chote bachi. Hum aapaka intajaar kar rahe the(Hi there, little one. You've been awaited by us.)" 

The doctor came up to the family to break the good news while they were waiting outdoors. "Maan aur bachi ek saath acha kar rahe hain. Ab aapake parivaar mein ek pyaara sadasy jud gaya hai, aur delievery aasaani se ho gai(Mother and child are doing well together. You now have an adorable addition to your family, and the delivery went smoothly.)" The Kuruvilla family was ushered into a new chapter as the audience erupted in cheers and clapping. As soon as word got out, the entire family of Kuruvillas flocked outside the room to see the newest member. Juanita, who was always the chatty one, offered ideas for baby names. "Natasha ke baare mein kya(What about Natasha?)" Ammachi wasn't impressed. "Nahi, bahut angreji(No, too English.)" Juanita paused and reconsidered. "Elizabeth?" Sunny then remembered his favorite name. "Anya ke baare mein kya? Isaki jaden abhi bhi hamaare bhaarateey ateet mein hain aur yah sundarata ya anugrah ka prateek hai(What about Anya? It still has roots in our Indian past and signifies beauty or grace.)" Agnes nodded, keeping the infant close to her. Together, the family chose the name Anya, along with the adoring nickname Anna. For the Kuruvilla family, it was a moment of love, happiness, and the prospect of a wonderful adventure to come. For the Kuruvilla family, the Syro-Malabar baptism ceremony was an exciting occasion. With its floral arrangements and lit candles, the church exuded a festive atmosphere. Little Anya waited her turn in her immaculate white baptismal gown, her family and friends gathered to witness the holy moment. "Anya Kuruvilla enna ee vilayeriya kunjine cristheeya viswasathinte aashlishathilekku swagatham cheyyaanaanu innu njangal evide othukoodunnathu.(Today, we gather here to welcome this precious child, Anya Kuruvilla, into the embrace of the Christian faith.)" With joy and appreciation in their hearts, Sunny and Agnes stood as proud parents. Father Mathew performed prayers and invocations as he carried on with the service. The family listened intently as the holy rites were performed while they were clothed traditionally. "Anya,pithaavinteyum puthranteyum parisuddhaathmaavinteyum naamathil njaan ningale snaanappeduthunnu(I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.)" The surroundings felt holy and peaceful when the holy water touched Anya's forehead. There was harmony in the air as the assembly united in hymns and prayers. Agnes hears Sunny whispering. "Hamaari nanhi Anna aadhikaarik taur par hamaari aastha ka hissa hai(Our little Anna is officially part of our faith.)" Agnes glances around, grinning. The family acknowledged the importance of the occasion by exchanging glad glances. Anya looked around with innocent curiosity, completely naive. The anointing with oil, a sign of protection and strength, completed the ceremony. "Ania, ningalude jeevitha yaathrayiludaneelam karthaavu ningale anugrahikkukayum nilanirthukayum cheyyatte(May the Lord bless and keep you, Anya, throughout your life's journey.)" The candles that were given to the family symbolized the light of Christ shining on Anya's path. Witnessing the delight of a new member being welcomed into the Christian community was shared by the church. After the baptismal ceremony, the family celebrated little Anya's spiritual journey with a celebratory supper. The smell of traditional meals, laughter, and warmth filled the air. On this memorable day, Sunny and Agnes alternated on holding Anya and introducing her to each member of the family, making treasured memories. 

Anna:
