"Amar sir, I have to get my luggage from my flat. I'll be back by evening." Vennela informed Amar.
"I'll come with you" said Amar at once.
"You have to rest. You stayed up all night talking to Anirudh yesterday." Vennela didn't want to trouble him.
"You need my help. How will you pack all your things alone?"
"Alright" said Vennela. She knew she needed someone to help her.
Ten minutes later, she was sitting in Amar's car while he drove. "You can drive? I never saw you drive before." She remarked.
"Hey, I drive exceptionally well." He took offense if someone questioned his driving skills.
"Relax. I was just kidding. I know your love for cars and bikes." Vennela chuckled.
"Isn't that the park in which we met for the first time?" Amar asked pointing at the park.
"Yes. I used to come here on weekends. It's just a ten-minute walk from our apartments." said Vennela reminiscing their first meet.
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you live here? Why don't you live in your family mansion?" Amar was curious.
"That mansion belongs to my grandfather. Though he lives in Vishakhapatnam, he keeps coming to Hyderabad once in four months and stays in the mansion for about a week every time." Vennela answered.
Amar was puzzled. "I don't understand."
"I don't like him. I don't like being anywhere near him. I don't like speaking with him." Her face hardened.
Amar didn't question her any further. "We are here." He told her. They parked the car and pressed the lift button.
"It's not much. It's a simple flat. You may not like it. You may find it dull." Vennela wasn't sure if she did the right thing bringing him there.
"Nothing like that Vennela. I mean Vennela garu."
"It's okay Amar sir. You may call me Vennela."
'You gave me permission. When will you stop calling me sir?' he thought.
They reached her flat. "Shruthi, what are doing?"asked Vennela.
"Packing my things. Now that you won't be staying here, amma has ordered me to move to family mansion" said Shruthi. Vennela's face fell.
"Akka, you don't have to come there. I'll come to meet you. It'll take me justfive minutes to walk to your new home from our mansion. And guess what? I don't have to stay alone. These two" she said pointing at Rishi-Raj "will be staying with me. They're not going back to Sydney. They'll be studying engineering in my University." She added with glee.
"Why didn't you two tell me?"asked Vennela.
"What? Didn't anyone tell you? Bava knows. Everyone knows" Raj told her.
"You traitors. You told everyone except me? Idiots. My little brothers whom I love like my own kids, betrayed me. I never thought I would live to witness a day like this." Vennela faked hurt.
"We'll get you an ice cream, drama queen" said Rishi.
"Not one, but ten." Vennela demanded. Amar was amused.
"Please sit down bava garu. We'll help akka in packing" said Shruthi.
"I'll help her" said Amar.
"You? No. You can't do this. You'll be tired" said Rishi.
"Why would I be tired? I'm an expert in packing." Amar told them.
