The story begins with a young couple, a 25-year-old woman, and her 29-year-old boyfriend, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their first child in August. They share the delightful news that they are expecting a boy. Excitement fills the air as they embark on the journey of parenthood.
One of the most cherished rituals during pregnancy is choosing a name for the baby. For this couple, the process began early, at just 10 weeks into the pregnancy. They decided on the name ‘Amaris,’ a beautiful choice that means ‘moon child’ in Arabic. This name held profound significance for them, especially since the boyfriend is Muslim.
Here’s where the plot takes an unexpected turn. The boyfriend’s younger sister, aged 22, had a baby of her own in February. However, she kept her pregnancy entirely under wraps, surprising her family with the arrival of her child. To add to the intrigue, she didn’t reveal her baby’s name until after giving birth. And the name she chose? ‘Amari.’
