As Edward proceeded down the aisle, the solemn mood enveloped him as he entered the church. A holy atmosphere was created by the incense aroma and the flickering candles. Nervous and vulnerable at the same time, he picked a pew near the front. He knelt down and looked up at the crucifix, looking for comfort. "Main pahale kabhi akele yahaan nain aaya, Jesus. Mujhe aapase baat karani hai, lekin main nishchit nahi hoon ki kahaan se shuru karoon. Mere dil par kuch bhaari bojh hai jise main ab akele sahan nahi kar sakata(I've never been here by myself before, Jesus. I need to speak to you, but I'm not sure where to begin. Something is heavy on my heart that I can no longer bear by myself.)" He inhaled deeply, feeling all of his feelings bear down on him. In the calm sanctuary, Edward expressed himself honestly, revealing his problems, anxieties, and hopes.  Edward's eyes filled with tears as he talked about his internal problems. His feelings were too much for him to handle, and he was on the edge of tears when he had to admit his darkest wishes and anxieties. "Jesus,mujhe dar lag raha hai. Mujhe apane parivaar ko khone aur use khone ka dar hai. Main bahut kho gaya hoon, lekin main sahi kaam karana chaahata hoon. Mainne maan liya tha ki apani bhaavanao ko ek taraph rakh dene se shaanti milegi, lekin abhi mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki main sandeh mein doob raha hoon( I'm scared. I'm afraid of losing my family and losing her. I'm so lost, but I want to do the right thing. I assumed that putting my emotions aside would lead to peace, but right now I feel like I'm drowning in doubt.)" Edward couldn't help but think about Rahul—the man Anna was meant to marry—as he proceeded to express his agony. The internal storm inside him became stronger as he struggled with his feelings regarding Anna's happiness and his own silent love for her. "Aur Rahul doosare hai. Yah kathin hai, lekin main usake liye khush rahana chaahata hoon. Main sakaaraatmak rahana chaahata hoon aur usake achche hone ki kaamana karata hoon, lekin mujhe lagata hai ki mera dil toot gaya hai. Mujhe yakeen nahi hai ki main kitane samay tak aise vyavahaar kar sakata hoon jaise kuch bhi galat nahi hai(And Rahul is another one. It's difficult, but I want to be happy for him. I want to be positive and wish him well, but I feel like my heart is shattered. I'm not sure how much longer I can act like nothing is wrong.)" Together with Edward's turbulent emotions, the candle's flame wavered. He lit the candle as a sign of his own inner battle as much as for Anna and their uncertain future. At last, the tears came and ran down his cheeks, finding solace in the church's calm atmosphere. "Please, Jesus,mere liye raasta dikhao. Mujhe yakeen nahi hai ki main ab is bhaar ko akele sambhaal paoonga ya nahi. Mera netrtv kare, mujhe saahas pradaan kare aur jo sahi hai use samajhane mein meri sahaayata karen(lead the way for me. I'm not sure if I can handle this load by myself any longer. Lead me, grant me courage, and assist me in realizing what is right.)" Edward exposed his soul in that sacred moment, praying for divine intervention and a way forward that would provide him both peace of mind and the satisfaction of his deepest wishes. Edward felt a sudden rush of inspiration in the quiet church setting as he opened up to Jesus. A plan and a glimmer of hope appeared out of the depths of his inner turmoil. "Kya yah... ek vichaar hai, Jesus? Ek yojana? Kuch, ek rachanaatmak chingaari, mere bheetar halachal macha rahi hai. Kya aap mera maargadarshan kar rahe hai? Please mujhe yah baat samajhae( Is this... an idea, Jesus? A plan? Something, a creative spark, is stirring within me. Are you guiding me? Please explain this to me.)" Edward was waiting for a sign, proof that his prayers were being answered, and his pulse was racing with excitement. He sensed a nudge to trust this newfound insight in the peaceful church, a whisper of comfort. "Theek hai, Jesus. Yadi aap yahi salaah denge to main vaisa hi karoonga jaisa aap kahenge. Bhale hi main abhi is rananeeti ko poori tarah se nahi samajh pa raha hoon, lekin mujhe vishvaas hai ki isake parinaamasvaroop un logo ko khushi milegi jinaki main paravaah karata hoon(Okay, Jesus. I'll do as you say if this is your advice. Even if I don't fully understand this strategy now, I'll have faith that it will result in the happiness of the people I care about.)" Edward left the church with a renewed sense of purpose and this heavenly plan in his heart. The light continued to flicker, a reminder of the time he asked for help, and now that he had a possible answer, he was going to implement it for Rahul, Anna, and themselves. Edward and his buddies gathered in the Happy Club's dimly lit room and outlined a scheme that would be able to reconcile Rahul and Anna without endangering their lives. They had no idea that there was another menace lurking in the shadows: a bunch of terrorists with a distinct goal. "Theek hai dosto, hame jaldi se aage badhana hoga. Kaaryakram ke dauraan, hum vetaron ke liye gujarenge. Anna ke pradarshan ke samaapan par, hum Rahul aur Anna ko bhaagane dene ke liye dhuen ka parda laga denge. Darsh, kya tum theek ho(All right, guys, we have to move quickly. During the event, we will pass for waiters. At the conclusion of Anna's performance, we'll set up a veil of smoke to let Rahul and Anna escape. Darsh, are you alright?)" The ever-cautious Darsh expressed his concern. "Yadi Reynash ko Anna ki pahachaan ka pata chal gaya to kya hoga? Hum koi bhi galati bardaasht karane mein asamarth hai(What happens if Reynash discovers Anna's identity? We are unable to afford any mistakes." Edward comforted his companion, sure of the diversion plan.)" "Mera vishvaas karo, Darsh. Anna ka nrty Katrina Kaif ke baraabar jeevant aur aakarshak hoga. Hum dhuen ka phaayada uthaakar Rahul aur Anna ko surakshit bacha lenge(Believe me, Darsh. Anna's dancing will be vibrant and eye-catching, equal to that of Katrina Kaif. We'll take advantage of the smoke to securely rescue Rahul and Anna.)" There was a mix of excitement and suspense in the Happy Club as Edward continued to outline the idea to his friends. Raj, ever the action man, added a chitchat. "Yah avishvasaneey hoga! Reynash ki abhivyakti ki kalpana kare jab usaka vishesh avasar hamaari vistrt palaayan rananeeti ban jaata hai(This will be incredible! Just picture Reynash's expression when his special occasion becomes our elaborate getaway strategy.)" Even though Ranbir was the voice of reason, she was still worried. "Main rananeeti se avagat hoon, lekin saavadhaani ki aavashyakata hai. Kuch bhi jokhim mein nahi daala ja sakata, khaasakar jab agyaat char hon( I am aware of the strategy, but caution is required. Nothing can be risked, particularly when there are unknown variables.)" He was agreed upon by Deepak. "Main samajhata hoon, Ranbir. Hum har cheez par baariki se nazar rakhenge. Aaie ab apane waiter ke vesh banaana shuru kare( I understand, Ranbir. We'll be closely monitoring everything. Let's start creating our waiter's disguises now.)" The members of Happy Club parted ways, each with a specific assignment. They were unaware that another group of terrorists was preparing a similar plan in the interim. They discussed their evil schemes in a secret meeting. "Sabhi log dhyaan den. Anna hamaara lakshy hai aur hum kisi ko bhi apane raaste mein Anna ki ijaajat nahi de sakate. Hamaara aadarsh aavaran vah araajakata hogi jo dhuaan paida karata hai. Use pakado aur jaldi se vahaan se nikal jao( Everyone, pay attention. Anna is our goal, and we can't allow anyone to stand in our way. Our ideal cover will be the chaos that the smoke creates. Seize her and hurry out of there.)" With a shrewd mind, one of the terrorists raised an alarm. "Yadi koi any samooh isi tarah ka aayojan kar raha ho to kya hoga? Hum kisi bhi asuvidha ko bardaasht karane mein asamarth hai(What happens if another group is organizing a similar event? We are unable to tolerate any inconvenience.)" The boss exuded confidence. "Hum isake liye taiyaar hai. Hamaari buddhimatta ke aadhaar par bahut adhik aashchary ki baat nahi hai. Agar hum yojana ka paalan karenge to isase pahale ki kisi ko pata chale ki un par kya asar hua, hum yahaan se nikal jaenge(We're covered for this. Not a lot of surprises, based on our intelligence. We'll get out of here before anyone knows what hit them if we follow the plan.)" The mood in the room darkened as the opposing party worked out the specifics of their evil plan. They had no idea that their well-thought-out scheme would come up against another gang on a quest motivated by love rather than hate. Unaware of the rival terrorist group's impending threat, Edward and his friends carried on perfecting their disguises at the Happy Club. The stage was prepared for a confrontation, and it appeared as though fate was weaving a story of romance, betrayal, and surprising alliances. Edward called Anna, Rahul, and even Annama into the comfortable living room to talk through their complex scheme. "Theek hai, sab log. Isake liye kuch rananeetik soch kee aavashyakata hai. renaash ko manaane ke lie hamen sahayog karana hoga. Rahul, sunishchit karo ki tum bhaagane ke liye taiyaar ho, aur Anna, tumhe sahayog karana hoga(All right, everyone. This calls for some strategic thinking. We have to collaborate in order to persuade Reynash. Rahul, make sure you're prepared for the escape, and Anna, you'll have to cooperate.)" With gratitude in her eyes, Anna nodded in agreement. Even though Rahul was first skeptical, he chose to believe the plan after noticing the sincerity in Edward's eyes. "Mujhe vishvaas karana mushkil ho raha hai ki aap isame hamaari madad kar rahe hai. Dhanyavaad, Edward(I find it hard to believe you're helping us out with this. Thank you, Edward.)" Edward returned Rahul's thanks with a smile. Standing close by, Annama listened carefully, understanding the sacrifices her son was making out of love. "Aap ek shaanadaar yuva vyakti hai, Edward. Mujhe vishvaas hai ki aapaki yojana kaam karegi. Aaie ise prabandhit kare(You're a fantastic young man, Edward. I believe your plan will work. Let's manage it.)" They had no idea that the other terrorist organization was also honing their plan as they talked over the specifics. Their entwined plans were in jeopardy, and the evening was sure to provide plenty of unexpected turns. There was excitement in the room when Annama asked Anna to sit with her. Edward had told her the first part of their entwined love story, and now Annama was going to go right to the point.

28 years ago, April, 1982: "The Audition That Changed Everything"

There was pressure to find the ideal lead singer for Sunny's band as they prepared for their biggest show in Mumbai. Despite numerous auditions, none of the competitors appeared to be a good fit. Knowing that finding a suitable voice would be crucial to the success of their performance, Sunny became more and more nervous as the audition day drew near. Sunny was starting to lose hope one day as they were holding yet another round of auditions in their makeshift studio. The mood in the room was somber; the band members had just listened to another lackluster audition. Feeling the weight of the impending performance, Sunny rubbed his temples. When it appeared like there was no more hope, the studio door opened and a mysterious person emerged onto the stage. It was none other than Angelina, who had made the decision to try out for the audition, who entered the light. Persuaded that Angelina possessed the voice the band required, her closest friend, Nandini had given her encouragement. There was a heated silence in the room as Angelina stood in front of the band. They'd been absolutely taken aback by her presence, and Sunny in particular was conflicted about whether to be excited or skeptical. "Angelina,aap is kshetr mein kyon hain? Yah ek rock band ke liye audition hai. Aap ek shaastreey gaayak hai, jinhonne kabhi kisi rock band ke saath prastuti nahi di hai.(why are you in this area? This is an audition for a rock band. You're a classical singer who has never performed with a rock band.)" With resolute purpose, Angelina met Sunny's gaze. "Sunny,main yah dikhaane ke liye yahaan hoon ki main yah kar sakata hoon(I'm here to show that I can do it)," she answered steadily. "Mujhe is band par aur khud par bharosa hai. Main aapako yah dikhaane ke liye utsuk hoon ki main kya haasil kar sakata hoon aur mere Nadu ne mujhe audition mein jaane ke liye protsaahit kiya(I have faith in this band and in myself. I'm eager to show you what I can accomplish, and my Nadu encouraged me to go to the audition.)" Her confidence intrigued Sunny, no matter what. "All right, now try it out." He gestured for her to get started, saying, "Show us what you got." Angelina took a deep breath and closed her eyes to collect her thoughts. Then she broke into a song. Her voice filled the room with a waterfall of rich, melodic notes that was a revelation. A distinctive and captivating sound was produced, as though the worlds of rock and classical music had met. 

Oru Simham Alayum Kaattil

Thunayode Alarum Kaattil

Vazhi Maari Vannu Chernnu

Oru Kunju Maan Kidaavu

The other band members looked at each other in amazement as Angelina's audition continued on, and a few of them even tapped their feet in rhythm. Everyone in the room could feel the depth of emotion in her voice. The room fell hushed as she finished her first song, with everyone staring at Sunny and waiting for his verdict. At last, he broke the silence, his doubts beginning to wane. He said, "Vah khoobasoorat tha, Pari, lekin hum Mumbai mein ek high-energy sho karane ja rahe hai. Kya aap tez sankhyaon se nipatane mein saksham hai(That was beautiful, Angelina, but we're going to have a high-energy show in Mumbai. Are you able to deal with faster numbers?)" 

Angelina showed no fear. With a self-assured smile, she said, "Chalo main tumhe dikhaati hoon.(Let me show you.)" She then started performing a rock version of a well-known Bollywood hit song. Angelina sang the lyrics with the same strong voice that had enthralled them earlier, fitting the fast-paced, lively cadence with ease. The studio became an exciting performance venue when the band joined her on her songs. There was undeniable energy in the room, and it was obvious that Angelina could manage the quick numbers with ease.

Sunny had a look of amazement on his face as the bandmates erupted into loud applause when she concluded the song. "I stand corrected," he said, "Angel, aapake paas vah kaushal aur lachilaapan hai jisaki hame aavashyakata hai. Band mein aapaka svaagat hai(Angelina, you possess the skill and flexibility that we require. Welcome to the band.)" Angelina took them up on their offer, triumph shining in her eyes. She assured them, "Main tumhe niraash nahi karoonga(I won't let you down)," and the band members talked excitedly and confidently about their forthcoming performance in Mumbai. The band was in full rehearsal mode, getting ready for their Mumbai show. A rainbow of instruments and voices filled the studio, each band member bringing their own special energy to the mix. Though she was excited about the chance, Angelina struggled with the impromptu and carefree vibe that characterized the band's creative process. After an especially difficult rehearsal, the tension between Sunny and Angelina broke one evening. With visible signs of frustration on their faces, they faced one other. With a hint of frustration in her voice, Angelina yelled, "Sunny,hame sanrachana ki aavashyakata hai! Hamaari avyavasthit rananeeti hame Mumbai mein saphal hone mein madad nahi karegi. Yah sangeet kaaryakram keval sangeet se kaheen adhik hai - yah meri maan ko bachaane aur jeevan badalane ke baare mein hai(we need structure! Our disorganized strategy won't help us succeed in Mumbai. This concert is much more than simply music—it's about saving my mother and transforming lives.)" Sunny answered, looking just as impassioned but less serious, "Angelina,prakriya par vishvaas kare. Hum apani lay khoj lenge. Yah darshakon ke saath baatacheet karane aur sangeet ko pravaahit karane ki anumati dene ke baare mein hai, na ki keval sahi notes banaane ke baare mein(believe in the process. We'll discover our rhythm. This is about interacting with the audience and allowing the music to flow, not just about striking the correct notes.)" Their disagreements became more intense as the days went by, exposing the conflict between their personalities and musical upbringings. The other members of the band saw how delicate the issue was and attempted to mediate. After yet another argument late one night, Angelina withdrew into a private nook, burdened by strife and responsibility. Seeing the emotional toll their arguments were having on Angelina, Sunny approached her with a more composed demeanor. "Main samajhata hoon, Angelina. Yah hamaari saamoohik kalpanaon se bhi badhakar hai. Haalaanki, hum dabaav ko hame todane ki anumati nahi de sakate. Aapaka parivaar aur hum jo sangeet kar rahe hai, dono mahatvapoorn hai. Aaie samajhauta karane ka prayaas kare(I understand, Angelina. This surpasses our collective imaginations. However, we cannot allow the pressure to break us. Both your family and the music we're doing are important. Let's try to strike a compromise.)" Angelina explained, "Sunny, you don't understand." Tears filled her eyes. "mere parivaar ka poora bhavishy ek pradarshan se badal sakata hai. main unhen niraash karana bardaasht nahi kar sakata(My family's entire future could be changed by one performance. I cannot bear to let them down.)" She felt motivated to share her experience since she was burdened by her family's problems. "Sunny,main chaahata hoon ki aap yah samajhe ki isaka mere liye itana mahatv kyon hai(I need you to understand why this means so much to me)," she said in a vulnerable tone. "Main apane parivaar mein sabase bada nahi hoon, lekin main hi unaki dekhabhaal karata hoon(I'm not the oldest in my family, but I've been the one taking care of them)," she said, taking a long breath. "Meri badi bahan lakavaagrast hai. Sabase bada bhai andha hai. Isake alaava, meri do choti bahanen bhi hai jo akele rahane ke liye bahut choti hai(My older sister is paralyzed. The oldest brother is blind. Also, I have two younger sisters who are too young to be on their own.)" When Angelina started talking, Sunny's expression changed from curiosity to compassion. "Main athak parishram kar raha hoon, gujaara karane ke liye chote-mote kaam kar raha hoon(I've been working tirelessly, taking odd jobs to make ends meet)," she went on. "Sunny,yah sirph sangeet ke baare mein nahi hai. Isaka sambandh hamaari sthiti ko badalane se hai. Kiraaya aur chikitsa laagat ki saari vitteey jimmedaari mujh par aati hai. Meri maan ko ab sarjari ki aavashyakata hai. Yah Mumbai show vah aasheervaad ho sakata hai jisaka hum intajaar kar rahe the(it's not just about the music. It has to do with changing our situation. All of the financial responsibility for the rent and medical costs falls on me. My mother now requires surgery. This Mumbai show might be the blessing we've been waiting for.)" Sunny listened closely, compassion and sympathy mixed together in his gaze. In a soft voice, he remarked, "Angelina, main bhale hi arabapati hoon, lekin mujhe bhi sangharshon ka saamana karana pada hai. Jab main keval satrah varsh ka tha, mere Papa ka nidhan ho gaya. Bas main aur meri maan vahaan the. Mere paas behatar jeevan ke liye sangharsh karane ka anubhav hai. Main samajhata hoon( I may be a billionaire, Angelina, but I've faced struggles too. When I was just seventeen, my dad passed away. Just my mother and I were there. I have experience fighting for a better life. I understand.)" Tears filled Angelina's eyes as she saw a bridge emerging between their worlds. "Aapake samarthan ke liye dhanyavaad, Sunny. Mere liye, yah mahaz ek kaaryakram se bhi aage jaata hai. Yah mere parivaar dvaara sahe gae varshon ke kashton ke chakr ko samaapt karane ka ek avasar hai.(Thank you for your support, Sunny. For me, this goes beyond just a gig. It's an opportunity to end the years-long cycle of suffering my family has endured.)" With a silent nod, Sunny acknowledged their shared determination and agony. "Angelina,hum ise isake laayak banaenge. Hum sabhi ke liye yah pradarshan ek mahatvapoorn kshan hoga(we'll make it worth it. For all of us, this performance will mark a turning moment.)" They seemed to have a new understanding as they made their way back into the studio. Their music was more than just a combination of sounds; it was a link between their two worlds, a celebration of the human spirit's tenacity and the transforming force of empathy and common goals.

Present:

Annama went on to describe her love affair with Sunny in more detail. Astonished, Edward and Anna heard the car as it rolled through the peaceful streets. "Pyaar kai apratyaashit modo vaali ek yaatra hai, mere priy. Hamaari kaafi kathinaiyon ke baavajood, Sunny aur main ek-doosare ke paas vaapas nahi aaye. Yadyapi kathin tha, prayaas saarthak tha(Love is a journey with many unexpected turns, my darling. Despite our fair share of difficulties, Sunny and I did not come back to one another. Although difficult, the effort was worthwhile.)" With a mix of curiosity and admiration in her gaze, Anna turned to face Edward. Even though Edward was aware of Annama's story, the specifics nevertheless held his attention. "Ab, aap mein se har koi apani raah par hai. Rahul ek achche insaan lagate hain, lekin sirph achchai hi mere priyajanon ka pyaar jeetane ke liye kaaphi nahi hai. Isake liye karuna, kuch tyaagana aur ek saath badalaav ke liye taiyaar rahana aavashyak hai(Now, every one of you is on your own road. Rahul seems like a good man, but goodness alone isn't enough to win my dears' love. It takes compassion, giving up something, and being prepared to change together.)"  Edward and Anna looked at each other, taking in what Annama had said. As the vehicle trundled through the darkness, Anna couldn't resist sharing her observations. " Aunty,bahut pyaari kahaani hai. Haalaanki, aajakal rishte vaastav mein jatil hain. Hum yah kaise nirdhaarit kar sakate hai ki prayaas saarthak hai?(that's a lovely story. However, relationships these days are really complicated. How can we determine if the effort is worthwhile?)" Annama gives her a tender grin. "Pyaar hamesha aasaan nahi hota, mere priy. Kabhi-kabhi vaastav mein shaanti ke saraahana karane ke liye toophaanon ki aavashyakata hoti hai. Haalaanki, kisi aise vyakti ko dhoondhana jo sabhi kathinaiyon ko saarthak bana de, antatah yahi maayane rakhata hai(Love is not always easy, my love. It takes storms to sometimes truly appreciate serenity. Finding someone who makes all of the hardships worthwhile is ultimately what matters, though.)" Edward looked at Anna, feeling exactly what Annama was feeling in his heart. As they got closer to Anna's hostel, the car slowed. Annama smiled wisely and gave her last advice. "Kal bahut bada din hai aur mujhe aasha hai ki aap dono ko saphalata aur khushi milegi. Yaad rakhe ki haalaanki pyaar ki raah patharili ho sakati hai, lekin raaste mein aap jo saath rakhate hain vah yaatra ko saarthak banaata hai(It's a huge day tomorrow, and I hope you both have success and happiness. Recall that although love may be a rocky road, the company you keep along the way makes the journey worthwhile.)" Edward couldn't get Annama's comments out of his head as she got out of the car. Love was a journey after all, and maybe tomorrow would bring Edward and Anna on new adventures.
