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.
