Few days later, Anshu Ganesh Anvesh Vennela Teja and I went shopping. Teja bought me a beautiful dress. I was going to wear it on my birthday.
After shopping, I was sitting idle at the new temporary home and was thinking about today. I remembered the heart fern. One of my new best friends. I left it at the penthouse. I decided to bring it back even though its temporary. Let's get rid of this loneliness! I left a message to Vennela and started to the penthouse.
I arrived. I was walking to the backside of the penthouse. I can hear someone. I smiled and moved towards. They didn't notice me coming. Teja slapped Anvesh. It was very hard. I stopped and my eyes were wide open with shock. Teja was angry. He shouted at Anvesh, "Don't be so careless Anvesh!". Teja saw me and he bent his head. I spoke to Anvesh, "Anvesh! Are you hurt?". Teja shouted again, "Never do that again!".
Anvesh was in shock. He had no expression on his face. He is very sensitive. He must be hurt. He wasn't speaking.
Teja spoke, "Anvesh!". I replied Teja, "Teja! Please stop now! Leave him alone for now!".
Teja lowered his voice, "Ash! you don't know what happened?". His voice was filled with pain. But I was so worried about Anvesh and I got angry. Those words just came out of my mouth from nowhere. Same anger like Teja!
"Whatever the reason is..You shouldn't have slapped him. I don't know what happened now but I know what happened few years back. Your anger almost killed him once!".
Teja was disgusted with my words. He didn't say a word and he left.
Few seconds after that. Anvesh spoke "What just happened here?". I asked him again, "Are you okay?". He gathered his thoughts and feelings. He smiled. He really looked ok. He said,"Ash! I will explain this to you later! Please don't misunderstand Teja! No mistake from his side!". He ran away saying he has to speak to Teja.
I returned home. Heart fern was still living at the penthouse! It was peaceful! Awfully peaceful! Lonely! Awfully Lonely! I felt so sad. I regret saying those words to Teja. I shouldn't have spoke to him like that. A tear rolled on my cheek!
