He made me feel good by listening to me. I should listen to his story too. I was also curious about it.
I asked, "Hey Teja! You can speak more about your college life! I will listen!". I smiled at him.
He kept his laptop aside and started his story, "No one asked me about that till today. I think I should speak. Some wrong rumors were spread in college about me. From that time onwards, no one wanted to be friends with me. I lost my two best friends. I became popular as Mr. Arrogant!" He laughed sarcastically.
I asked him, "But I always saw you with people! You were always busy back in graduation class!".
He continued, "All of them! They wanted something from me but not friendship! It was painful in the beginning, even with a lot of people around.. with no real friends! It felt lonely!". He smiled and continued. "Later, Vennela joined our graduation college as junior and she was always bothering me around. So, it got better!". We both smiled at each other thinking about Vennela. He started using his laptop and I went inside.
I was lying on my bed and was thinking about Teja. From last few days, I have been speaking to Teja well. Maybe he isn't the person I pictured him as. Maybe he is a nice person. Maybe I was wrong about him. I listened to the bad versions of Teja from other people but I have been feeling the good version of him. Later, I started treating him as a friend.
On one Sunday! There were no plans and everyone was just relaxing. I finished my breakfast and was watching TV! Vennela started knocking the door and was asking me to open the door as fast as possible. I opened the door. She was carrying some groceries.
"Ash!" She dropped all of it on the floor. "Come on! Let's cook together!". I smiled and we started cooking. We cooked very good looking chicken biryani and were about to start eating. She clicked a picture and was sending it to someone.
I asked her, "Who are you sending it?".
"To Teja!", She replied. "But you and your brother live in the same house!", I told her.
She laughed out and said, "I became your new roommate and Teja became Anvesh's new roommate! No one is living at the house on the second floor. It is for storing furniture!".
I was surprised to learn that fact. But..!
I remembered the words from Divya. Teja and Anvesh were supposed to stay away from each other but, they are spending time together and are having fun. What is all this about?
"Vennela! Do you know what happened between these two people a few years back?" I couldn't hold back anymore. Very curious!
"Hm Yes! Only I am aware! Even Anshu doesn't know what exactly happened!", She said.
"Can I know?", I asked her curiously.
She started thinking and spoke out, "Now that they are both together and having fun, I think we can speak about it.".
She started eating and was praising our work. It really turned out yummy.
"Before sometime! Teja came to me and said he is going to Anvesh's place. I asked him what to do about our lunch. He said that I can just eat anything and he will eat at Anvesh's place. He must be looking at my picture right now and should be feeling bad for leaving behind. Haha. Thanks for the good food Ash!".
I was looking at her with wide eyes, "Can you tell me the story which I asked for?".
She laughed and started narrating.
