Desires

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.
