JOURNEY FROM YOU TO US

✦ | CHAPTER 18 | ✦

Karthik's POV
"Vennela, Vennela" I called her

"What, did I went in sleep?, where am I..... Is this my room?" she said

"Glad you got up, you were actually burning with fever, it's okay...... now it's fine I might think so, and its damn already 4:28" I said

"You slept on this?" pointing over the armchair, I too slept for a small nap.

"Yeah, maybe" I said

"I am sorry Karthik, you might have taken a lot much of effort...." she was blabbling

"You talk a lot Vennela, see you.....you have become like a stick for one day....if you neglect like this won't it be a problem?" I asked her

"Sorry" she again apologized

"See I am too sorry, I understood that yesterday if I didn't add that sentence then we would have gone together to office, other than bad time over there you wouldnt had to be stubborn at all" I said

"I am sorry too, I shouldn't have created it, I was mistaken" she said

"Do you know how many missed calls......i made 40, Ani bava made 40 and shobha was too tensed and we didn't inform athiya and mavayya" I said

"I am sorry for all of that, please I won't do like this anymore" she said

"Good kid" I said to cheer her up

"Hehe I am not kid" she said

"Yeah" I rolled my eyes

"Don't do like that, it's a girl thing and moreover I hate it" she said

"So what, you deserve this" I said

"Ouch that was too savvy" she said

"Yeah yeah" I said.

"Karthik, where are you going?" she asked me when I was about to leave her room

"To my bedroom" I said and came. Didn't knew why she asked for

"Okay" she said.

I got up after a nice sleep checking for the time, it was already 8:34 am... I was surely in a hurry. I rushed up to washroom, grabbing my towel from my wardrobe. I was not seeing consequences of my speed but surely they were very weird. I went to Pooja room to pray for a good day. I went to kitchen, and it was

Damn I didn't cook anything for her, I immediately rushed to her room, but she was not there. I called her

"Hey, nuvvu office ki vellipoyava? (Hey you went to office?)" I asked her

"Avunu, emi?(yes, why?)" she said, mad

"Picha neeku, ninne Jvaram vachhindi kada, appude pani cheskodniki poynava?( are you mad, you got fever yesterday and you are already off to work?)" I said

"It's okay, I sorted my lunch, I will be back before 4 evening today" she said

"Great I am picking you up" I said

"Okay, fine....and one more thing" she said

"What?" I asked while closing the doors of our house.

"Have a happy day" she said and chuckled

"U too" I said

We ended the call after I reached to my office. And she too after she finished her breakfast at office eating a bland upma(a South Indian breakfast, which my mom makes to me when I am angry 😆).

Heavy meetings, discussion with interns and intense new guidelines from US H.O was shaking us literally. I left my phone over the cabin. And checked the phone after eating my lunch at 4:30. Shit she must have reached home.
