Vennela was speaking, "My dad got retired from his job recently, Teja wanted us to shift to Delhi after my dad's retirement. My parents agreed as their siblings are also living here in Delhi. And then we decided to shift to the penthouse. Teja took the contract papers out to call you people. He left them on the table and went out to take some calls. I was curious and I looked at those papers. I found Anshu's email id in it. I had facebook open, I searched for her and I found her. I learned that Anvesh is a mutual friend for us. After looking more I found out that Anvesh and Anshu are siblings. I was sharing my discovery with my mom. My grandmother looked at Anshu's profile picture and started saying that she is so good. She made me share Anshu's picture and contact details with Ganesh brother's family. My mom asked him to pause the shifting process to penthouse because they were interested in Anshu's profile."
We were all looking at each other's face and were smiling. I was looking at Anshu and Ganesh thinking, whatever the reason could be these both really like each other.
Vennela turned to me, "Ash! While my mom dad were starting for their tour, they told Teja not to bother you until they are back. Still, he is bothering you. I should speak to my parents."
Then why does he want to snatch my penthouse right away? I was wondering.
Teja was speaking to Vennela, "Ash doesn't have other roommates. And finding new roommates for a few months is almost impossible."
I interrupted him saying, "I really want to stay at the penthouse!".
He started explaining to me why he wants the penthouse to be vacated, "Actually I want to surprise my mom dad when they are back. I want to get some renovations done. So.."
Vennela started speaking, "Teja! Mom dad told you something. You follow it! Else I will call them and will complain about this."
He smiled and said, "Alright! Do as you wish Vennela!".
Vennela was happy and she turned to me, "Ash! I am with you! If Teja bothers you again about the penthouse, let me know. I know what to do. And in case if you really want to vacate the penthouse, let me know first. Is it okay?"
I said okay. She shared her mobile number with me.
And then we started making plans for next weekend. Vennela and Teja would be staying here from today. So, they were included in the plan. Vennela, Teja and Anvesh dropped me at my place. It was a great day. I had so much fun.
Next day! After work, I cooked dinner and finished it. Anshu couldn't take my call and I was waiting for Anvesh's call. It was very late and Anvesh didn't call yet. I messaged him but no reply.
