And now! Here we are posing for our first wedding picture. Me and Teja! My man right beside me and there is a very special guest! The heart fern! It traveled a long way to decorate our wedding venue.!

Teja was holding my hand and asked me, " If I make you feel connected, would you accept me?". I smiled. Teja demanded, " You were supposed to answer me, Ash!". Hehe! I was just smiling.  He kept on insisting and then I said, " Accepted!".  He said, "We are family Ash! No connection in this world is stronger than that!". Wow! My man is so awesome! Mr.Awesome. I uttered those words out. We were having a great moment. And then Anvesh enters to spoil it. He wants to capture a selfie. He was like, "I am not used to standing in corners while taking selfies. Teja can you give me some space?". Anvesh was trying to stand between us, Teja was fighting him and I was just laughing.

Now! I feel like I was simply turning my story into a puzzle whereas it was great story.. my story.. which has now turned into a very sweet memory for me.. for us.! 

It was a simple wedding but a great one! Our parents were there! Our families! Our friends! There was Divya. There was Sheela. There was Shree. There was Arjun - my cousin and his fiance Pari. There was Kiran and his wife Monica. There was everyone from my little world. And everyone was smiling!

I have my man right here! I turned to him and I said, "I have you Teja!". He smiled and said, "I have you Ash!".

Although this is where this story actually starts, this is also where I say a bye and get back to my little world.

Yours,

TejAshwini!

The End for series!

I Have You Episode 39 - So you do know my name! I thought you will never remember!!

 I was angry just a few minutes ago. I was thinking it was too soon for engagement. I was thinking to give it a stop. I felt so much pain over not being able to speak to him. I spoke to him for few mins and then I got ready for our wedding. It's our wedding day on April 10. Just a few more days and then we fly to UK. Woh! This is crazy!

All our parents were busing discussing our wedding - seated in the living room. They were so excited! I was seated on the lawn with my gang. I was just chilling, having fun with Vennela. She was teasing me again. So, you said ok! Finally! It felt so hectic and finally, it ended and the best part is ahead of us. Ash is no more a zombie. Zombie! I thought I am the one who give names. How come I am getting names today!

And T E J A.. Teja suddenly appeared in front of me. I was almost blushing! He was showing his teeth. He took an envelope from his pocket. He handed it over to me and said "Happy Birthday Ash!".

I took it. Everyone gathered around me and forced me to open it quickly. I was trying hard to hide it. But Anshu forced me to open it. And then, I saw it. Wow! That's great timing and an unforgettable gift.

Vennela was so curious that she snatched it away and started reading. It's not a love letter.

When I held it for the first time, I thought it was a greeting card. I immediately started my imaginations. The card may look like this.. that.. with many hearts.. roses.. and then it may have quotes like .. love of life.. No no.. no.. It wasn't that.

It was a blank card just supporting the most special invitation letter. Handwritten by T E J A. My T E J A! Ooh! That's right! It's not Mr. Arrogant! It's my Mr.Arrogant! He used multiple ink pens to give it the feel of a handmade gift! I can see his tremendous efforts. My heart was filled with great feelings. I felt .. soooo.. good!

Vennela started reading the content..

You are cordially invited to the wedding of Teja and Ash. I smiled and spoke to vennela, "Ash! Always my short name. I was thinking, Teja never remembered by name! He was like.. what Ash? which Ash? Now, he wrote my name.. my full name on hisss wedding invitation card!" Teja was smiling like a kid and so were others. I whispered to him, "So you do know my name! I thought you will never remember!!" he kept on smiling. 

We were just seated and remembering the last few days.

Teja said, "I wasn't interested in you. If you were really interested, you should have said - I am not interested and I never will." I was showing him my teeth. And then he asked me, "Do you know when this started?". I thought for few seconds and answered him, "Anshu's wedding!". No! he said and then I demanded him to answer. He answered and it was really a surprise.

Back in college days! Few of us were attending training. The first day, I joined the training a bit late as I was in a meeting with a professor. There was only one seat left. That was beside Teja. I sat there. From the next day, I had an option to change my seat but I didn't. I remember attending the training and Teja was there. It wasn't a special moment for me. Teja said that it was where this all started. He said that was the most precious memory for him. He unlocked his mobile, browsed, and displayed the picture captured during our training. I was there. He was there. We were smiling.

Anvesh sat beside me! Teja forced me to clarify with you. He was a bit shy. He started speaking, "Actually I was just having fun! But I should have predicted Teja's anger. Actually, he cares a lot about me. That's why he got angry! I met Shree again and we had lunch together." I was shocked. "And then! in a fun mode, I said I may date Shree now that she is not your girlfriend!". I interrupted him and started laughing, "I understood! I don't want more details!". He was smiling. "Did you learn your lesson?", I asked him satirically. He was laughing and saying, "I was just joking!" We were laughing.

I Have You Episode 38 - HAPPY Birthday Ash!!

 Anshu took my mobile. She browsed through the messages.

Message from Anshu - Received at 11:15 AM yesterday

"Ash! I left my mobile at home and I am at Anshu's."

Message from Anshu Husband - Received 11:16 AM yesterday

"Ash! I left my mobile at home and I am at Anshu's."

She started speaking, "Wow! Exactly the same! From brother and sister! Looks like a wonder!".

She turned to TEJA, "Did you copy paste it?". She didn't let him answer, "How can we copy paste in different mobiles?".

Teja assured her that its just a coincidence. I smiled at myself. I could see my smile in the mirror.

Anshu turned to me, "Why did you save Ganesh's contact as Anshu Husband. See! You missed an important message. Love message!". She started thinking, "It seems you have already started the love fights. Couldn't you wait until you get .. mm..". She paused. I ignored her and showed my teeth to her.

Teja smiled at me and left the room.

All good! Anshu declared! She polished my face with makeup and I was kind of shining. I smiled. Vennela entered the room, she almost ignored me and spoke to Anshu, "It's time! Let's go".

They were dragging me and we almost entered the living room. Anvesh popped the birthday blaster and I was looking at those sparkles. I was smiling. I saw T E J A! I saw...

Mom! Dad! I ran to them!.

Happy birthday Darling! They wished me.

I saw many people gathered for my birthday party. It took few minutes to recognize everyone. Teja's parents were also there. Anshu took me to them and was introducing me to them. I just smiled and started greeting them. Many crazy things happened a few days ago. What to say? Nothing! I just smiled! They wished me a happy birthday. Teja's mom took my right hand into her hands and she said, "Good bless you!". I felt good. I smiled and thanked her. I was a bit worried if they will like me.. dislike me..

*After breakfast!

Grandma made us all sit in the living room. She started speaking. It was time to get back to the actual discussion. The duscussion which was kept on hold by me.

"Now that Teja and Ash darling like each other. We can proceed to the wedding."

Wedding..Did I hear it correctly? They said Engagement ceremony? Wasn't it?

"Teja needs to visit UK for about 1 year. So we would like to skip Engagement ceremony. We get them wedded and send them off. We can relax after that."

My mom dad went aside. They didn't involve me. I was thinking.. these people are always full of surprises! I wasn't angry this time. I was OK. I like them all. Let them do whatever they want.

*After 5 minutes!

Everyone was congratulating each other. Anshu hugged me and she said, "Finally! Welcome to the family!". We smiled at each other.

*After 10 minutes!

Let's discuss on a day for the marriage. They started the discussion.

*After Lunch

Our marriage date was decided. April 10!
