Whole house is in celebration mood. The kids running here and there playing with each other. Teenagers looking through their favorite's movie clips and thinking what song to dance for the receptions. Elders discussing some important matters and few some of them playing card enjoying themselves. Everyone are enjoying the moments except one person.
That one person roaming furiously in his room. Clueless about the next step he should take. One side his unsaid one sided love, another side his late mother's final wish. He totally shattered from inside and still hoping some miracle will happen and will take him out from this misery.
Jai Devraj fondly called as Jai. His face clearly showing he is not in the happy mood. The frowns visible on his face. He keeps on looking at his phone and thinking to call her or not. Rehsmi name shown in the caller ID, his best friend whom he secretly in love with. He really wants to run away from here and goes to her confessed his feelings. If life could be that simple...
He recalling the incidents happened few weeks ago. After many years, his mom Latha brings him to their hometown for the festival there. Jai, who doesn't know about existence of his Dad, his hometown and his relatives felt new feelings when meet them for the first time. He liked all of them the moment he met them. He got to know he has many cousins Arjun, Vikram, Sri, Divya, Rekha and few more. He spends most of the time with his Dad and shares everything to him.
Although he felt happy meeting with them, there is always a thought why his mom bring him here suddenly and not before that. Seeing his mom felt happy meeting all, Jai decided to keep that thought aside. Few days passed with happy memories until she came.Vennela is her name. Everyone there called her Vennu fondly. I can see she is the pampered child in between all my cousins. Even my Appa pampered her a lot. I used to tilt down a lot when talking with girls but not in the case with Vennela. She is 5'10 inch with chubby cheeks and slim figure. I face palmed myself seeing the direction of my thinking goes. That moment I never thought the one with a pretty face innocent smile will ruin my life forever. Vennela or people calling her fondly Vennu..
Vennela is a Degree holder in Computer Science and currently working in Hyderabad. Why I never come across with her at Hyderabad. Wished I never come across with her at any time but fate seems had some other plans. She gets close with my mom and my mom starts looking for her for each and every need. Sometimes I get irritated seeing my mom calling her every time. It's not like I hate her presence around my mother. She is very caring towards mom but some unknown fear starts rising from time to time.
As I feared Amma expressed her feelings wished me marry Vennela. I was shocked to the core. Now I know why I felt uneasy seeing Amma closeness with Vennela. I clearly told Amma that I can't marry Vennela because I love Reshmi. I can see the disappointment in Amma face but Amma need to know about it. I can never marry anyone except Reshmi. Although Amma felt disappointed, she accepts my decision and never forces me on it. Few days passed with more happy moments and all these days I tried to avoid Vennila. It is not like I am close with her. It is always Hi Hi Bye Bye relationship between us. We never talked to each other closely like I talked with my other cousins. There is some unknown tension present between us.
After bid adieu to Appa, Amma and everyone, I left to Hyderabad alone. Amma said she want to spend more time here with Appa. Seeing their longing and love for each other many years, I let Amma stay and promised her will come here every weekends. One week passed just like that and I am getting ready to visit Appa and Amma. That moment I received a call from Vennela. Since when I saved Vennela number in my mobile and why she calling me out of the blue? That's the questions rose in my mind.
At first I thought want to avoid her calls but she keeps on calling me. With an irritating tone, I picked up her call.
She makes me more irritating with her ordering tone asking me to get ready and she is on her way to pick me up. Oh God, why I have to go home with this girl. Before I replied she cuts the call.
10 minutes passed and she is here to pick me up. I grabbed my luggage and went to her car. Silent prevails between us inside her car and instead of going to highway, she changed the route to Vasundara Hospital. She just stay silent when I keep on asking her why we are going to Hospital and who is there. Once we reached the parking lot, she dropped the bomb saying His Mom, Latha admitted in hospital due to Food Poisoning but it was too severe.
I felt like my whole world collapsing. How a mere food poisoning can be harmful. I starts mumbling and run to meet my mom. Vennela followed my behind which I don't care at all. That moment Only my mom is in my mind. Just a 2 mins distance felt like forever. At last I reached the Emergency Care Unit and saw my mom smiling when look at me.
Latha : Jai, Come here dear.
Jai : What happen to you Amma..
and Jai starts crying like a little child. Deva unable to control his tears too. Thanks to God Vennela is there to take care of everything. Due to some important work, she went to her hometown and got to know her attai collapsed and rushed to nearby hospital there. After checked with the hospital, Vennela bring them to town hospital. The next moment she called Jai and bring him here too.
To be continued...
