The next day after Teja's proposal! Like every other day! Vennela was knocking at my door. I opened it for her. She brought me breakfast and asked me to get ready for office. She wasn't acting different and it was good to see her. I was getting ready for office and she asked me, "Did you have dinner last night?". I didn't answer her and was thinking.. whether to lie to her. She understood that I didn't have my dinner. She got angry. She started scolding Teja, "This is all because of him. He is causing inconvenience to you. I don't understand what got into him!". I stopped her. And asked her not to speak about it. I mentioned to her that I am looking for a new place to live. She became sad and she told me that I can do as per my wish. Anshu was calling me. I took the call. She was almost shouting, "Are you okay?". Vennela whispered to me that she told Anshu about what happened yesterday. I answered her saying I was all good and I am planning to vacate the penthouse. She said alright.
I was using my free time to browse and visit new homes. I tried to avoid Teja but he was always there on the premises. For the first time after that proposal, when I met him at the building entrance he said hi to me and smiled as if he did nothing wrong. Still, I tried to avoid him as much as possible. But, Vennela was stuck to me all the time. She was like a protection shield for me from her brother. Time passed by and I didn't even realize it was the new year.
We were assembled at Anshu's home for the new year party. The devil, T E J A was also supposed to be there. He brought the cake and placed it on the table. I was seated there. He went away. I was curious to have a look at our new year cake. So, I unpacked it. It was a chocolate heart-shaped cake and has the words "Happy New Year!". Vennela and Ash were overwhelmed to have a look at it.
It wasn't extra-ordinary! Just the usual cake! I almost shouted, "It isn't that special!".
Anshu said, "But Teja bought it! So it is special!". Vennela agreed with her. I was angry. I asked them to stop the nuisance. Anshu sat on my right and Vennela on left.
Anshu started speaking, "Let's speak about it today! You became a zombie from the time Teja proposed you!".
Vennela added, "You aren't eating well too. You didn't get rejected! You are the one who rejected Teja. Why are you behaving so strange?".
Both of them were looking at me. I don't want to speak about that. Anshu and Vennela forced me to speak about it.
And then I asked Vennela, "Is Teja doing well?".
"Do you really want to hear about him?", She asked me back. I was nodding my head hesitantly. She told me that he is happier than before and is behaving like he succeeded in something. He thinks that I will accept him in the future. I was surprised to learn that. Crazy Teja!
Anshu started speaking, "Poor Anvesh! I thought he will get a great partner like you. My wish is just a dream now!".
"What? Why are you speaking all this stuff? But.! I didn't accept Teja!", I told her.
Anshu's eyes became wide and she asked me, "Did you reject Teja for Anvesh? Do you love Anvesh?".
I answered her immediately with a No. She got disappointed!
She declared, "Now that Anvesh knows about Teja's interest, he will never think about you. I feel sad for him!". I was surprised to know this. Anvesh already knows.
Vennela started speaking, "The day he got rejected by you, he was speaking to Anvesh about what happened? looked like Anvesh was Teja's cheerleader!".
She turned to me, "Ash! My brother is a good guy. He will be lucky to have you. Think about him!". Anshu interrupted Vennela, "Ash! You already rejected him. Please let me know if you are interested in Anvesh! I will take care of the rest!".
Both of them making recommendations for their brothers. It was really irritating. I asked them to leave me alone. They smiled at each other and left me alone for a few minutes.
I started thinking Teja or Anvesh or someone else. Anvesh is an angel! Teja is a gangster! Mr. Arrogant! Devil! But why was I scolding him? He didn't do anything wrong! Other than trying to snatch away my penthouse! But it's his penthouse! He owns it! And then I remembered the canopy shelter and proposal. My heartbeat raised! It was like my heart was racing to break the world records!
