Khushi-Bundle of Joy
When Sunny learned the truth about Anna's pregnancy in a flash of insight, the weight of the secret overcame him like a tsunami. His eyes reflected the sorrow and hatred he felt as he faced Edward, his emotions spanning from shock to betrayal. Denying, Sunny confronted Edward, saying, "Aapane vaada kiya tha ki aap Anna ko chot nahi pahunchaenge, aur aapane yahi kiya hai(You promised you wouldn't hurt Anna, and this is what you've done?!)" in a tight voice. With a loud smack of his palm across Edward's cheek, Sunny's rage rang through the room. Unable to control his outpouring of emotions, he struck out a few more times in an attempt to release his anger. Anna saw what was happening and hurried to step in. She positioned herself between Edward and Sunny to protect her husband from more harm. Her voice was firm but gentle as she spoke to Sunny. "Papa,agar tum use peet rahe ho to main bhi isaka hakadaar hoon. Main isaka hissa tha aur mainne ise gupt bhi rakha(if you're beating him, then I also deserve it. I was a part of this and I also kept it a secret.)"
Sunny, still full of frustration, stared at Anna with a mixture of dread and disappointment. He knew what it was like to be in the dark about something so important. "Tum hamesha se meri rajakumari rahi ho, Anna. Mujhe laga ki tum mujhe sab kuch bata doge. Aapane apane Papa se itana mahatvapoorn rahasy chupaaya, isase mujhe dukh hua(You've been my princess forever, Anna. I assumed you would tell me everything. That you withheld such a significant secret from your dad hurts me.)" With tears in her eyes, Anna answered, "Papa,main dar gaya. Mujhe dar hai ki kaheen main aapako niraash na kar doon aur aap kaise pratikriya den. Main nahi chaahata tha ki tum mere baare mein bura socho(I was scared. I'm afraid of disappointing you and how you might respond. I did not want you to think poorly of me.)" Anna's honesty soothed Sunny, and she stepped back. A thick quiet descended upon the room as the realization dawned on the three of them. "Tum meri rajakumari ho aur hamesha rahogi, Anna, meri priyatama. Lekin hamaare parivaar mein rahasyon ka koi sthaan nahi hai. Hum ek team ke roop mein baadhaon se nipatate hain. Edward, jab meri beti ki baat aai to mujhe ummeed thi ki aap mera bharosa banae rakhenge(You are and always will be my princess, Anna, my darling. But secrets have no place in our family. We tackle obstacles as a team. Edward, I expected you to keep my trust when it came to my daughter.)" Edward gave an emotional nod, tending to his wounds both physically and emotionally. "Sunny Uncle,main samajh gaya. Mujhe sacha banakar shuruaat karani chaahiye thi(I get it. I should have started by being truthful.)"
Sunny let out a long sigh as she struggled with the feelings. "Hum parivaar hain. Hum apani baadhaon ko door karane ke liye milakar kaam karate hain. Aage badhate hue, koi aur rahasy nahi hum is path par usi tarah yaatra karate hain jaise ek parivaar ko ek saath milakar karana chaahiye(We are family. We work together to overcome our obstacles. Moving forward, no more secrets We travel this path like a family ought to, together.)" The atmosphere was electric with expectation and excitement as the baby shower day drew near. Sunny decided to use his love and support for Anna and Edward to plan a happy celebration despite the recent disclosures and obstacles. Expecting their first child together, Edward and Anna were blissfully unaware of the surprise in store for them. With the assistance of Sunny, who wasn't exactly a fan of extravagant parties but chose to put his emotions aside for the sake of his cherished daughter, Anna, and Edward's father, John, took it upon himself to plan the ideal baby shower for his son and daughter-in-law. Sunny's loving wife Agnes was instrumental in persuading him to enjoy the happy event. There was a tangible sense of excitement and anticipation on the day of the baby shower. In John and Agnes' backyard, a canopy of vibrant balloons and exquisite decorations decorated the area as friends and family gathered. Benignly excited, Sunny helped arrange the flowers and set up the tables while secretly relishing the creative process. John had a unique plan for the big gender reveal, which was the highlight of the day. With their loved ones surrounding them, the pair stood hand in hand and eagerly awaited the moment that would unveil the gender of their precious baby. In the middle of the lawn was a massive box wrapped in pink and blue and ornamented with question marks. With everyone crowded around, the mood was electrifying. With a playful twinkle in his eye, John stepped up to speak to the excited audience. "Ladies and gentlemen,Edward aur Anna ke bache ke ling ki jald hi ghoshana ki jaegi! Kya aap sabhi taiyaar hain(the gender of Edward and Anna's child will soon be announced! Are all of you ready?)" The excitement peaked as the crowd burst into applause. Sunny was cautious at first, but he soon became engrossed in the infectious enthusiasm of the occasion.
John paused dramatically before opening the box, letting a shower of pink balloons ascend into the sky. Everyone greeted the news of the impending baby girl with applause, laughter, and a few happy tears in the backyard. Overwhelmed with emotion, Edward and Anna shared a touching moment as they realized how beautifully their lives were about to change. Even though Sunny was reluctant at first, he eventually had to smile when he realized that love has a way of uniting people, even in the most unlikely of situations. Edward and Anna arrived at the hospital on the day of their much-awaited arrival, feeling a mixture of nervousness and joy. A gentle, soothing light filled the labor room, bringing calmness in the midst of what was sure to be an exciting moment. Edward, who was standing by Anna's side, gave her a firm handshake and consoling remarks. The fetal monitor's persistent beeping reverberated around the room, serving as a constant reminder of the life they were about to bring into the world. Edward, who was standing by Anna's side, gave her a firm grip and consoling remarks. The fetal monitor's persistent beeping reverberated around the room, serving as a constant reminder of the life they were about to bring into the world. Anna looked at the task at hand, a mix of vulnerability and determination in her gaze. Edward was clearly there for her, offering comfort and affection at every contraction. The medical staff responded quickly and methodically, maintaining order in the middle of a stressful, life-changing event. Anna started to find comfort in Edward's voice as the labor went on. As he removed the beads of sweat from her forehead, he spoke to her in a soft, encouraging murmur. "You're amazing, Anna. Hum lagabhag vahaan pahunch chuke hain—bas thoda sa aur(We're almost there—just a little bit more.)" With her face twisted, Anna forced a smile and said, "Edward, I love you.Main aapake yahaan mere saath hone ki saraahana karata hoon(I appreciate you being here with me.)" "Hamesha, mere priya(Always, my darling)", Edward said as he kissed her forehead. "Ek saath, hum isamen hain(Together, we are in this.)" The eager-to-be grandparents, Agnes, Sunny, and John, stood in the corridor, silently praying and sending good thoughts to the labor room. Agnes encouraged John and Sunny in the corridor, saying, "Hamaara Anna majaboot hai. Sab kuch theek ho jaayega(Our Anna is strong. Everything will work out OK.)" With a look of pride mixed with worry, Sunny nodded and said, "Mainne kabhi nahi socha tha ki mujhe vah din bhi dekhana padega jab main poti ke liye itana ghabara jaoonga(I never thought I'd see the day I'd be this nervous for a grandchild.)" Once they were back in the labor area, the nurse urged Anna, "Anna,aap shaanadaar kar rahe hain. Bas kuchh aur dhakke(you're doing fantastic. Just a couple more pushes.)" Eyes bright with resolve, Anna gritted her teeth and said, "Main yah kar sakata hai(I can do this.)" The medical staff busied themselves getting ready for the last phase of labor. Edward remained nearby, giving his resolute assistance. Excitement and expectation filled the room as Anna pushed through each contraction while wearing a determined expression. The most beautiful sound, the cry of their newborn baby girl, filled the room after what seemed like an eternity and an instant. With haste, the medical staff placed the tiny, wriggling bundle on Anna's chest. As Edward saw the precious creation they had shared with the world, tears of joy filled his eyes. With her heart full of love, Anna held their daughter close, tired yet radiant. Overcome with emotion, Edward gave Anna an affectionate kiss on the forehead while muttering kind words of appreciation. Agnes, Sunny, and John, the grandparents, shared happy smiles and tears of pleasure in the corridor. As word of the baby's arrival went around the hospital, loved ones came together to commemorate the happy event. Once the intense process of giving birth filled the labor room, it became a place of love, joy, and fresh starts. Encircled by the warmth of their loved ones, Edward and Anna knew that this moment—the amazing day their family officially began—would live on in their hearts forever as they gave their daughter their first embrace. The room took on a festive air as the family and guests rejoiced over the baby's arrival. Everyone started putting names forward for the baby. A gleam in his eye, Darsh said, "Aaradhya ke baare mein kya khyaal hai? Isaka arth hai "Pooja ki jaati hai(How about Aaradhya? The meaning is "worshipped.)" Mariam added, "Anaya ek aisa naam hai jo mujhe pasand hai. Isaka arth hai "vishesh" aur "utkrsht"(Anaya is a name I like. It means "special" and "outstanding.)" Raj pondered over a powerful name and said, "Advaita ke baare mein kya khyaal hai? Yah "ek tarah ka" aur "adviteey" darshaata hai(How about Advaita? It denotes "one of a kind" and "unique.)" With a lighthearted smile, Deepak remarked, "Dia?Yah "deepak" ya "prakaash" ko darshaata hai(It denotes a "lamp" or "light.)" Rahul continued, "Mujhe lagata hai ki Saanavi pyaari hogi(I think Saanvi would be lovely)," as he considered the beauty of the situation. "Isaka arth devi hai(The meaning is 'goddess.')"
Grinning at the recommendations, Anna turned to face Edward. "Koi vichaar, priye(Any thoughts, love?)" Edward pondered for a while while glancing down at their daughter. "Mera man mein ek vichaar aaya jo us khushi ko darshaata hai jo vah hamaare jeevan mein lekar aai hai. Khushi ke baare mein kya? Yah "khushi" ka prateek hai(I had a thought that captures the happiness she has brought into our lives. What about Khushi? It signifies "happiness.)" Agnes continued, "Khushi ek khoobasoorat naam hai, priye(Khushi is a beautiful name, dear)," nodding in accord. With a proud smile, Sunny remarked, "Aur Kattadi? Sanyukt hone par, ve "khushi ke bundle" ka pratinidhitv karate hain(And Kattadi? When combined, they represent "bundle of joy.)" Nods and smiles of approval flooded the crowd. The idea struck a chord with everyone and perfectly captured the spirit of the baby's arrival. Anna replied, giving Edward an understanding glance, "Khushi Kattadi. I love it." Feeling a wave of love wash over him, Edward held Khushi Kattadi tenderly and said, "Duniya mein aapaka svaagat hai, khushiyon se bhari hamaari choti si potali. Aap hamaari perfect ladaki Khushi Kattadi ke liye bilkul sahi naam hain(Welcome to the world, our little bundle of joy. You are the perfect name for our perfect girl, Khushi Kattadi.)"
4 months later, St. Mary Changancherry
The family and friends arrived for Khushi Kattadi's baptism St. Maryś church with stained glass windows. A calm mood was created by the soft glow of the candles and the slight aroma of the incense. The priest grinned broadly at Edward, Anna, and young Khushi Kattadi while wearing ceremonial robes. "Aapane apani beti ke liye kaun sa eesai naam chuna hai(What Christian name have you chosen for your daughter?)" Anna and Edward looked at each other, and together they replied, "Maria." "Sundar chayan(Beautiful choice)," the priest nodded. "Eesai parampara mein Maria atyant mahatvapoorn hain. Yah Virgin Mary ko samarpit naam hai, jo anugrah, pavitrata aur maatrtv ka pratinidhitv karata hai(In Christian tradition, Maria is extremely important. It is a name dedicated to the Virgin Mary, a representation of grace, purity, and motherhood.)" The priest cradled Khushi Kattadi carefully in his arms as the baptismal process got underway, inserting his fingers into the holy water. He said, "Maria,pithaavinteyum puthranteyum parisuddhaathmaavinteyum naamathil njaan ningale snaanappeduthunnu(I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit)," as he soaked her forehead with water droplets. As the priest proceeded to bless the child, the church was filled with the sound of prayers and hymns. He discussed the meaning of baptism, a rite that signifies a person's admission into the Christian faith, highlighting the value of love, faith, and community. As proud parents, Edward and Anna stood and listened intently as the priest bestowed blessings and words of wisdom on Maria. Sunny, Agnes, John, and the Happy Club were among the family and friends that gathered around the baptismal font to observe the momentous occasion. "Snehathinteyum anukambayudeyum upadeshangalaal nayikkappedunna viswasathil ningal valaratte(May you grow in faith, guided by the teachings of love and compassion)," the priest spoke directly to Maria as the service came to an end. "Daivathinte kaarunyam ningalude jeevithathil nirayatte, ningalude chuttumulla allaavarkkum sandoshavum thelichavum nalkatte(May God's mercy abound in your life and may you provide happiness and brightness to everyone around you.)" The church echoed with passionate "amens" as the priest handed Maria back to her parents. Encircled by the love of family and friends who had gathered to celebrate this momentous occasion, Edward and Anna held their daughter, Khushi, in their arms, overwhelmed with a deep sense of thankfulness and faith.
