I Have You - Episode 26: Enough! This is going nowhere! Stop it! Forget everything! I am leaving!

Shree and Teja were standing at the point where they met. They were speaking and were smiling at each other. Others were pretending like they were here for shopping but they were all observing Teja. They were trying to hide their curiosity but it was very obvious.

I was looking at Shree! She was pretty! She was chubby! She was wearing glossy makeup. Her cheeks were shining and when she was smiling, she was shining more. She was wearing a red top, black & white striped short skirt and red high heeled sandals. She was very short! Hence the very high shoes! Isn't she wearing too much makeup? I was smiling to myself! Vennela called out for me!
She asked, "Why are smiling?". I told her that it was nothing.
Anshu started attacking me with her words, "Why are you staring at Shree like you are going to eat her up?".
I laughed and answered her, "She looks so pretty!".
She countered me right away, "Are you jealous? Ash?".
I interrupted her to reply back, she was not even done speaking "Anshu! Not at all! 0%".
I was too loud! Everyone nearby was looking at me! Oh No! It was embarrassing! I apologized in a low voice and looked at Teja and Shree! Shree was looking at me and she smiled. I couldn't hold back and I smiled back to her. This is what I felt at that moment, they look so good together! Oh! My heart started beating faster! It was too fast! I couldn't handle myself. Anvesh was standing in front of me. I used his shoulder as support. He looked at me, he smiled and started speaking about our college days. Maybe he remembered those days while he was looking at Teja and Shree. After a few minutes, he took me to the chocolate shop and we were trying some chocolates.
When it comes to sweets, flies are sure to gather around! Everyone was scattered before we entered! But after we entered the chocolate shop, everyone joined us including Teja and Shree!
Shree was sitting beside me! So awkward! I was not going to speak to her! Let's stay in silence! But it didn't happen. She started speaking to me.
"It's so much fun meeting you people today! Ash? Isn't that your name?", she spoke to me looking into my eyes. I nodded my head and escaped her looks.
"Ash! What is your full name? I am curious?" She asked.
Teja was at the counter, he called out for Shree and she went to him! T E J A! This Teja guy, he is generally sunk into his phone when we go out. But instead of doing that today, he was entertaining miss ex-girlfriend today! So much fun to look at! I was looking at them. Teja looked at me and he was approaching our table. I ignored him. He came to me, stood beside me and took my hand. He is doing this again. I was about to teach him a lesson, Teja spoke aloud! "Saw this?". Shree saw that and she smiled. Shree came near to us and asked Teja, "I thought you were lying! Now I believe everything you told!". She smiled and took my hand. It was so awkward! She was holding my arm, looking at the watch and was speaking, "This one is more beautiful than that! Teja! You have got Ash! Lucky you!". She moved close to Teja and whispered to him, "I have always regretted being separated from you!". I could hear that as I was sitting so close to them. I changed my face to expressionless face. Am I even supposed to respond for that? Teja moved away from Shree. He was seated and he started looking into his phone. He was totally ignoring Shree even if she was speaking to him. She smiled and told us that she would be leaving. She requested all of us to get a group picture for her memory. I was standing at the end of the picture. Shree insisted me to stand beside her and I agreed generously. Teja was standing on the other side. She said bye to all and left.

It was my time to show my feelings! I faced Teja!, "What was all that? You have got Ash? That was too much! When did I say that you got me?". He was smiling at me. I will open up my feelings! I removed that watch and offered it back to Teja, "Take it back! Else I will throw it!".  He was still smiling. Vennela interrupted me, "Ash! That watch has nothing to do with Teja! I will feel bad if you can't keep it!". Here comes the sensitive queen Vennela. I was angry so, I didn't want to listen to her and I spoke back to her, "Vennela! What was all that fuss in the morning! This watch will match your outfit. Please wear! This! That! Weren't you planning this?". Teja was surprised after listening to my words and he asked Vennela, "Was this planned by you?". Vennela was speechless and she was looking at us with a surprise expression! I and Teja were looking at her with anger. Anvesh spoke out, "It's me!". Teja almost shouted on him, "What are you?Explain?". He answered back to Teja, "It's me! I called her here!". Teja shouted on him, "What?". How can he shout on Anvesh? No one is supposed to hurt Anvesh or Vennela. This conversation is going in a very bad direction. Even if I am angry, I have to stop this! I spoke to all and I wasn't facing anyone, "Enough! This is going nowhere! Stop it! Forget everything! I am leaving! Anshu and Vennela told me that we will all leave together but I rejected them and I left alone.

Few hours after I reached home, Vennela knocked on my door! I knew it was her! I didn't open it for her! She requested me to open it! I opened it for her, ignored her and sat back pretending to watch TV. She switched off the TV, smiled at me and said, "That was a coincidence! I didn't know anything about Shree visiting us! I swear!". She was honest. I said Okay and was still ignoring her. She felt bad and was about to cry.

I Have You - Episode 25: Stop it! I won't! I won't leave my penthouse!

I was searching for a new home. There was an empty house near Anvesh's place. I visited that house. It was good for me. Small and beautiful! Good place and good price! All good! I was returning after that. Anvesh was waiting for me at his place. I saw him, smiled and went to him. Teja appeared in front of me as soon as I met Anvesh! He is always here at Anvesh's place. Still, I liked the house! It should be better than Teja's penthouse. I need not see his face every day if I rent this house.
"Teja! I am vacating the penthouse soon!" I almost shouted at him with happiness. I am getting rid of you! Hahaha! That was what I was thinking!
He smiled! Sarcastically! And he started speaking. "Finally I win! Getting the penthouse vacated!". He was looking at Anvesh and started laughing. Anvesh also started laughing.
I was angry! I made him win! He is really snatching away my penthouse and I am the one helping him! I couldn't control my anger! I feel like kicking Teja! I wanted to stop him laugh!
I shouted at him, "Teja! I won't let you win!".
"Then! What can you do?" He was mocking me!
Anger! Feeling of making him win! I couldn't accept that! He was laughing at me!
"Stop it! I won't! I won't leave my penthouse! You lose!".
Teja was looking at me without any expression, he turned his back and went inside without a word. I stood there realizing what happened. Anvesh was still standing in front of me and he smiled back at me. I left him there without saying a word!

I was on my way, back to the penthouse. I told Teja that I am not leaving the penthouse! I thought I was not letting him win! But what does Teja want? He wants me to stay in the penthouse! He still won! He tricked me! What should I do next? Forget about what I said and vacate the penthouse? This T E J A is making everything difficult for me. I was thinking about that and I opened the penthouse door. Vennela was waiting for me. I told her everything! She called her brother and started scolding him for bothering me. She already finished scolding him before I understood what she was doing! I could hear Teja laughing on the other side. He is having fun! No doubt about that!
"Ash! Sorry for what Teja is doing?" She apologized! I told her that it isn't required! She didn't do anything wrong!
I decided to rent that house which I visited a few minutes back. I called its landlord! He said that someone else already paid advance for it just now! My search for a home begins again!

It was a weekend! I was getting ready to check some homes! Vennela came rushing to me, "I just got some tickets for a movie! Get ready! Fast!". I rejected her. She convinced me and scolded me for rejecting to have fun with her. I canceled my plan and joined her. It was a funny movie. We had fun! We were visiting the shopping mall after the movie. We were wandering around and suddenly, a pretty girl started waving to us. She came to us and started speaking to Teja! Vennela was holding my hand and took me away. She was pretending to look at some stuff to buy, but she was observing Teja! Anshu was ignoring all that and was trying some jewelry. I asked Vennela, "Who is that girl?". Anshu asked me back, "You don't know her?". I was thinking if I really know her. Vennela answered me while I was busy thinking, "Its Shree!". I countered her, "Great! Who is Shree?". Anshu started laughing! Vennela smiled and answered me, "Teja's Ex!".

Ex? Teja's ex-girlfriend? What is she doing here?

I Have You - Episode 24: He is true love! He is a devotee! His Ambition is to have you!

Anvesh saw him showing his teeth to me and he started speaking to Teja, "Teja! Don't bother Ash! Else I will buy a watch for her too!". Anshu heard all that and started laughing. Ganesh asked Anshu what's going on. Anshu passed the movie. Teja stood up, poked Anvesh's shoulder with his index finger and they were laughing at each other. Anvesh pulled him and made him sit on his other side. Vennela was der with the bottle, She handled the bottle to Ganesh and asked why they were laughing. They resumed watching the movie after discussing that and laughing on it. What was exactly happening? I had no clue.  I thought it was best to ignore that and  I ignored all that.

I reached home after all that party and fun. I sat on my sofa and was relaxing. I switched on the television and tuned into a music channel.
Anshu called me at that moment and I took it.
She started speaking, "Ash! Did you reach?".
"Yes! Just now!", I replied to her and was looking at the TV to mute the music. I saw on the screen that a song from the Bollywood movie "Sanam Teri Kasam" was playing. I muted it.
Anshu started teasing me, "Oooh! Listening to romantic songs! Oooh!".
"Stop it Anshu!" I ordered her to stop but she didn't stop.
"Your guy! He is true love! He is a devotee! His Ambition is to have you!". She was filling my head with Teja! I asked her, "Who is my guy?".
She laughed out, "Hey come on Ash! He is good!".
"But you said I should think about Anvesh!" I asked her. She laughed out again and replied, "That is true! But Teja is good too! He feels so good about you! I was happy to know his feelings for you!".
"Why did you start making recommendations for him now! Why don't you just forget about it?" I spoke to her. She laughed. She was laughing for anything I say. I could feel that she is happy and she spoke back to me, "Even if we forget! Teja won't forget! He is determined to make you accept him!". "Hmm! Why do you feel that way! I already rejected him! Isn't it?" I asked her. "Teja totally ignored your rejection. The way he held your hand today! OMG! So romantic and the watch! That's amazing!". I was just listening without any response. I was looking at video from TV and listening to audio from my phone. "Ash! Did you know that the meaning of purple is devotion and ambition! And a purple rose represents true love". I said Uhu! No!. "The watch Teja bought for you!" She was speaking and I interrupted her saying, "Oh Yes! Now I understood! His actions and gifts? Do they mean that much!". She replied with a Yes. I asked her again, "Isn't all this your imagination Anshu?". She shouted at me with a No. "But I didn't see all this! Let's say its all true! How did you understand his gestures!". She laughed out, "Teja called me. He said you are smart but you will never be able to understand his gestures. Because he is not good at words, he asked me to call you!'.
"Oh! Oh! Even you started bothering me! Anshu!". She laughed again and said, "Sorry Ash! If you don't like it! I am sorry! But one thing! If you want to get rid of Teja! You will have to reject him for more than thousand times! That's going to be tough! All the best! And! Remember! Whatever you feel! Whatever you want to do! I will be with you!". She was laughing again. I smiled and told her, "Enough! I am disconnecting!". "Ooh! You just started behaving like Teja!" She was teasing me. "Stop it!" I disconnected her call.

Teja? Anvesh? Someone else? Noone at all? That is my choice! A decision which will affect my future life! I rejected Teja without thinking and he doesn't even consider that! If I want to get rid of Teja, I have to do things as hard as he is trying to reach him. But I don't want to hurt him and I don't want to be harsh with him. How to do this? It is really tough! Things were never this tough in my life! My life used to be very simple. It felt like a puzzle of extreme hard level. And why does my heart rate increase when I hear about Teja! This has been happening from the time I rejected him!


What else is this Teja going to do? What to do with him?

I Have You - Episode 23: I made him leave my hand and sat back beside Anvesh!

Speak of the devil and Teja was standing in front of me and was smiling. I didn't respond to his smile. Anshu and Vennela were with him. Teja was trying to hand over a gift to me. I rejected to accept it. Vennela took it and handed it over to me. "This is from me, there is no way you can reject this now!" She smiled and sighed me to open it. I accepted it. Teja smiled and said, "Rejecting things became your habit these days!". Anshu and Vennela were laughing. He left us saying he will catch up with the guys in the kitchen. The guys were cooking for all of us on that special day and they were very busy. Teja must be the supervisor for them as he cooks very well.

We sat down and started unpacking the box. It was a watch. A beautiful watch! Vennela saw that and was saying, "Ooh! Very Nice!" as if she saw that for the first time. I asked her, "But you said, you got this for me!". She laughed out and I understood. Teja was the one who got this and because I won't take it from him, Vennela was just bluffing. She convinced me to keep it. Anshu was silent till that moment, she was thinking something. I asked her what's wrong and she started speaking, "Teja is right! You are really rejecting things these days! You rejected to vacate the penthouse even if you were alone! You rejected his marriage proposal! You rejected his gift!" and she started laughing out at me. I shouted on her to stop. I have to divert these people! I asked Vennela about her new year resolution and it started again, "I will get my brother married to you!". Anshu started laughing at me and said, "Mine too! I will get my brother married to you!". These people won't change! Why are these people so interested in bothering me.

We were in the lawn of Anshu's home for our party dinner. They cooked a lot for all of us. Everything was ready to be served. I sat in a chair. Anvesh was sitting on my left. Anvesh asked me for my hand and he wished me a happy new year. We were roaming in the same house but didn't wish each other a happy new year yet. So everyone started wishing each other. Teja approached me and sat on my right. I stood up. He stood up too. He grabbed my wrist and was looking into my eyes. I was frozen. Why did he hold my wrist? He slowly moved to my front,  transformed his hands into a handshake and wished me a happy new year. I replied back as a reflex, "Happy New Year Teja!". I made him leave my hand and sat back beside Anvesh. Anvesh was smiling at me. I ignored him. And I saw everyone was smiling at me! It was so irritating!

Vennela pushed Teja aside and sat beside me. She was holding the new watch in her hands and she made me wear that on my wrist. And after that, she was showing it to everyone saying its so good!

I was stuck to Anvesh and Vennela all the time. All of us were watching a movie in the living room. I was seated between Anvesh and Vennela. Teja asked Vennela to get some water for us. Vennela didn't want to leave and she rejected. Teja was smiling and complaining to Ganesh, "See! She is also rejecting me!". Ganesh laughed at him and asked Vennela to bring some water for us. She stood up and went into the kitchen with a bad expression on her face. Teja stood up and sat beside me. I was about to leave. This time, Anvesh grabbed my hand and asked me not to go. I smiled at him and sat back in my previous place. Teja was speaking to no one but to himself, "This lady even rejects to sit beside me!". I heard that and told Teja not to bother me. He showed me his teeth!
