JOURNEY FROM YOU TO US

✦ | CHAPTER 5 | ✦

Veneela's POV

Damn damn damn I dropped the brass pot which made both the birds flinch for a while. What the heck Vennela couldn't you be careful at all?

"Chitti come here" called Ani

"So how much you have listened?" Asked Shobha putting her chin down

"You guys want to marry and move to Netherlands, right?" I said like a teacher inspectingthe people in class.

"It's her saying Chitti, I am no one to comment, see Shobha I don't act, this time I was hiding from the family that's the only point" he said things which were scattering like hailstorm

"Ani explain us properly what is your decision" I said and in the time Nanna came to upstairs, damn it would have been good if Amma was there, because she could some how cover the topic.

"What is the discussion going about?" Nanna asked, Ani didn't faced Nanna but Shobha was hiding her face more downwards.

"Ani, vomit everything or else it won't be justifying if I open my mouth, Nanna matter teliyakunda Meru conclusion ki ravaddu (dad without knowing the matter please don't arrive to any conclusions) I said

"Ani what is she saying, cheppu (say)" asked Nanna.

"Nanna, actually" he was about to say

"Uncle I would like to say it to you and aunty together please, let's talk downstairs" she sighed and took my hands and rushed to our room.

"What the fuck was that you bitch, you get scared to talk to my dad and you are here to confess to him in and propose in front of my parents, have you lost your mind" I was blabbing and she was damn.

"Vennu please, help me yaar" she pleaded. And there happened a small kind of conflict between us. But nothing couldn't stop to tell truth by today and It was me who made Nanna to come and tell everything. We all sat at the living room and it was already evening 6:30, the evening warmth was making everybody not look so good but especially the love birds, they were sweating as if a bucket of water was thrown above them. Shobha sat beside me, Ani sat beside Shobha. Nanna and Amma sat on the other two arm chairs of our sofa.

"So Shobha what do you want to tell to both of us? What's happening, why isn't Anirudh talking anything?" 2 questions shot by Nanna

"Uncle before I tell everything I want to tell you a story, this might be silly and I might seem that I am wasting your time but it's our life matter, isn't it Anu" she saw towards Anirudh and said ANU man! She even has nick name for my brother, yeah why not.. I mean we were together since our college , she came to my house many times and happened all like that, I was expecting that answer.

"Uncle I and Ani met 15 years ago, he never seen me as a sister's friend but treated me more best than a brother could treat his sister, I melted for his care and affection, he used to share me his feelings, his problems, his achievements to me. But we never crossed paths with word called LOVE, he calls me very dearly as the most dearest person in this world calling his wife Baby. I love him, I love you Anirudh. He was determined to never move away from his place, never marry, never wanted a girl in his life other than Vennela. I found him as a hope when I lost every ray of hope. I was pushed to my aunty's house when my mother and father died, I had no one as mine until I met him on the day I was sobbing to straight 2 hours. He came to me, comforted me, said that he will be with me till I need him but it was more than a necessary hope I needed at that time. He never loved anybody uncle but I only loved him. Anu" she bent down and by the I saw it went like a movie, they both were crying. I was sitting there like an asshole, expecting with no expectation that what will happen.
"Please marry me Anirudh" she said. To which my Nanna and Amma both went to her and my brother to let him take her proposal
