JOURNEY FROM YOU TO US

✦ | CHAPTER 34 | ✦

It's been a month already since the celebrations of Sankranthi. The day she again came to Delhi made Karthik very sad. But anyway, he knew that in a month he would meet Vennela. The early morning coffee makes her kick her butt to move over her laptop and plan the 3D views. Her messed up room, her messed up situation, and her half-heart in Bangalore her aching her too much. She engrossed herself in her laptop to work so much that she didn't lift Karthik's call or his morning messages. Neha knocked on her room twice, she said " Neha aajao" (come in Neha). "Vennela tum Karthik ke calls ko kyu uthati nahi, me ne kaha na tumse ki phone ko silent me mat rakha kar" she scolded Vennela, the girl was learning Hindi slowly and she couldn't keep up her fast pace, Anyaa leaned on the door and translated her. But Vennela already understood her whole scoldings. "Mein baat karungi" she said softly to which both the girls went outside her room. (I will talk to him)

She called Karthik and his phone was ringing "busy" all the time. Realizing that he had called her more than 4 times and kept 5 messages. She was in a bad mood already because she had deadlines to serve and she had got a lot of burden on her since the time she said she would quit in the next two months. She had a lot of things going on in her mind and who was ready to listen was her husband. He wasn't picking up the call now. She watched her clock and it was 8 AM. She got up from her bed and started to freshen up for another hectic day at her office. She got ready, pushed her phone, laptop, files, and EarPods into her bag, and went to the dining room.

"Shall we get going girls?" Asked Anyaa and she nodded. She didn't have her breakfast, she denied having one even after being asked by her friends. "Vennela" they called her when she was deeply thinking. They reached the office. And she got from her trances and she turned to open her door. They settled themselves in their respective cabins and started to do their work. Vennela tried calling Karthik after she had breakfast from the cafeteria and purely she was junking Maggie. "Baby, how are you?" He asked. She thought he might have forgotten about her periods in his work tensions. "I am a bit sad," she said. "Let's make your face happy, I am coming to Delhi on the 20th of this month." She jumped on his statement with happiness. "Woowwwww wooowww really?" She asked him if he was telling her the truth. "Yes I am coming to Delhi," he said. "That'll be so fun, really," she said. They talked for some time and that sometimes ended to be 30 minutes. They said bye to each other and were engrossed in their work.

Vennela loves Karthik, just that she doesn't know whether she truly meant that she loved him that day when he cried at the airport for her. She said I too in the back but she felt that she was getting ready to propose to him. He makes her sad when he doesn't pick up her calls. She was never possessive of a person to this extent. He too might have felt bad when she didn't pick up his call, but for her, it created havoc in her. Work continued till 1 PM. Neha came to her cabin and they both started to have a little conversation. Neha got to know that she was sick through Karthik. She tried to talk to her comforting. They both went to the cafeteria to have lunch.

The same old story. She made a lot of improvements to include on her models, thus she got started to change some of the measurements, which took a lot of time. It was evening 6 PM already, and Neha knocked on her cabin. They both went together after she signed out from the office. Anyaa was with her fiancé at his house as they had a party for all official people. It would be just her and Neha tonight. They both got themselves settled and started to enjoy watching some cooking videos. Just then Vennela got an idea to cook biriyani.

"Hey Neha, shall we cook Biriyani?" She asked, and Neha fell from her place to the ground because of the laughter, she knew that Vennela didn't know how to cook. "Neha, stop no! I will bring all items from the shop, meanwhile, you chop me vegetables, we have all, we are not using them" she said. The little raindrops drizzle was a little shocking to fall in February, she immediately rushed inside the store. Collected all the items. She returned to her apartment and to her surprise, Neha started to chop all the vegetables. They both saw a video with the most views and reviews all positive, and they started to follow the process. In between, her silliness and common sense came down. Neha rocked there. It took about 8:40 PM to finish everything. And to their surprise, the door was ringing when they were in the bedroom. Shall I see who it is? She sent Neha to see who it was.
"Mam this is for K. Vennela as in the address mentioned," the delivery girl said. It was a bouquet of roses, a box completely wrapped, and an antique letter. Her face was completely red, with a big smile, and happiness. And she was so damn dumb that today was Valentine's Day. He sent her whaaattttttttt.
