Naming Ceremony

" Baby tell me. Which name would you like? "

Prabhas whispered as he rocked the baby who was fitted in his palm. He cooed softly and made silly noises burrowing into his arms. He won't let his father look away from him. The moment Nanna would divert his attention he would become restless.

" Your baby is just as you. " she said as she shook her head.

" Hmmmm...? "

" Yeahhh... Like you make a long face on not getting attention from me. Same way your baby doesn't like his parents drawing attention from him. "

" But Sweety, that nature of mine applies to you only my baby. "

She smiled at him and ruffled his hair.

" Come on baby... Now its meal time. "

" Now only I started playing with him. "

" Later... he has to eat and then sleep. "

He made faces while she took him from his arms and started feeding him.

Prabhas gave teasing stares for long. Sweety was expecting some naughty remark from him when he finally opened his mouth.

" Baby will share your meals with me. "

Sweety widened her eyes.

" Pabsu... "

" Sorry... Sorry... "

" Control... "

" It's hard to.. Specially when your wife has gotten a different glow on her face after becoming a mother. "

" Will you stop now? "

" Okhayy... So what name have you thought for our son."

" I haven't thought of anything. I am okay with anything the family decides. "

" Now come on... You are the mother. You must have something in your mind? "

" Not really, but I thought it must start with P. What say? "

" I was also thinking so... "

" How mean. I thought you will argue to name him some things starting with A or S. "

" Those are for my daughter. And we have two more kids due. So we can save it for future. "

She raised her eyebrow.

" Did I say anything wrong? " he asked.

" No... I liked your confidence. All the best. "

" I believe in hard work not luck. So when are we starting? "

" What? "

" Hardwork? "

" SHUT UP! "

Meanwhile baby started crying and throwing legs and arms around.

" See your son's reaction on hearing about second child. " Sweety said.

" Babooi..You're the naughtiest creature I have ever seen. "

" Your genes are more dominant than mine. "

" As if you're a saint. Don't act innocent Sweety. "

" Of course I'm innocent. You're the one who'll make your demands fulfil anyhow. "

" Hmmmm... Somewhat agree. That's how I got you. "

She pulled his cheeks.

" No one can beat you in words. "

The baby moved restlessly again in her arms.

" Okay... Pabsu... My son is getting disturbed. Let him sleep. "

" How much sleep do you need little one? Enough of eating and sleeping. From tomorrow I'm putting you on diet and exercise. You'll join me in the gym and everyday 10 push ups. "

He cried again in irritation.

" Hmmmm... Pabsu he understood a lot. Now let him sleep. "

" Okay.. I will go and see the preparations. You take some rest before the evening. " He kissed her cheeks.

This time baby cried louder.

" Okay... Okay... Sorry... "

" Prabhas... You both can gossip for day and night if allowed to. Keep it for the night and come with me. Let the baby sleep. " his cousin teased him.

" Hmmm... "

He softly pecked on his son's forehead and left.

In the evening, Prabhas and Sweety came downwards with the baby. Pandit put a small chandan teeka on his forehead.

They provided the necessary details about the baby.

" Any name you have considered?

" Bobby... "

" Sunny... "

" Shiro... "

" Gimmy.. "

" Tiger.... "

Name suggestions started coming...

Prabhas and Anushka looked at each other with horrified expression...

" Let the parents speak too.. " his mother ordered.

" Sweety? " he asked.

" Anything that you say... "

" You must have thought something? "

She nodded in no...

He shook his head...

" Prabhas you thought anything? " his cousin asked.

" Hmmmm... PrayAn... "

" Meaning Anna? "

" Intelligent... Like his father... " Sweety said.

" And mother too... "

" Superb name... "

KRG carried him in arms and rocked him.

" Did you like the name? "

Baby slightly smiled.

" Yeaahh... "

Sweety once glanced at the happy faces in the family and looked at Prabhas.

" So how did you get the idea of this name? "

" It must have consisted both our names. Pra Y An... Nice no? "

" Hmmm... I loved it. "

" I love you more... "

" I love you too... "
