Teja and I were walking to go inside the restaurant. Teja was speaking in low voice, "That's not irritation! That's excitement!". I was recalling my memories from past few days. It does feel like excitement. Now, It doesn't feel like irritation anymore. I smiled. He asked me, "Do you feel connected to me now? Didn't you say ok for our marriage proposal?". I answered him, "I don't know! but...." I didn't speak for a moment. He asked me to continue, " but...? ".
"It doesn't matter Teja! It will be fun to have you!", I looked at him.
"Wow!", he was showing his teeth to me.
We didn't realize that we stopped walking. I was about to go inside and he started acting crazy.
"I feel good. You accepted me. Can I a have a hug in this happy occasion?", He asked me.
"What a pervert?", I started walking.
"What? just a hug?" He was speaking to himself.
He started speaking, "Monster! Gangster and now this! Great!".
We were inside. Vennela saw me and she asked me, "What's going on?". Anvesh was looking at me. I was sure that he wants to ask the same question.

We were inside. Vennela saw me and she asked me, "What's going on?". Anvesh was looking at me. I was sure that he wants to ask the same question.
I told them, "let's celebrate! I am getting engaged!".
They were surprised. Vennela asked me, "To teja?". I laughed out and told her that it was a bad question. Anvesh and Teja laughed at her. They started congratulating us. It was so festive. We had good time together.
That night, I was watching TV. That song from sanam teri kasam was playing on TV and I remembered Anshu teasing me. I called Anshu. She disconnected my call and left me a message.

"Out with Ganesh! Valentine's day special dinner.! Catch you later!😍"
That's why the restaurant was decorated. VALENTINES DAY!
Few Minutes later, I received a message from Vennela. "Open door!".
I opened it thinking why there's a message. She can just knock. I opened the door. There was a gift waiting for me at the door.
T E J A! I smiled!
I lifted it. Big but light. I realized that it was empty and open from bottom. I looked down.
It's a heart fern plant on the floor. It was hiding under the empty gift box. Beautiful!
I took it inside. I saw the card on gift box. Happy valentines day! Love! Vennela and Teja😋
Vennela!
I thought of an appropriate place for the heart fern. I placed it there and these were my thoughts.
"This will stay here for a very long time. Welcome home heart fern!"
"This will stay here for a very long time. Welcome home heart fern!"
Few days later, I moved to my new temporary home. Who knows how long I am going to stay here? Two days later, I heard from Vennela that Teja's parents were back from the tour. Last few days, I was busy packing my stuff, meeting Anvesh Teja and Vennela. There was no much discussion about our engagement ceremony. This was the cooling period and this time won't come again. A strange kind of happy feeling!
