THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 105 :Sreekar stood still, body drenched with sweat, lips quivering, eyes reflecting his inner turmoil, face becoming pale as the reality hit him. He anticipated standing in front of Balaramaiah to ask for his daughter’s hand after settling everything upon hearing the truth from his brother and taking him back to their house. By the revolution of his mother’s atrocious acts, the reality of him distancing from Swetha flashed in front of him.His heart squeezed with the mere thought of separating from Swetha, his breath hitched in his throat, unable to utter a single word, Sreekar glanced at Ajith with eyes full of grief by tilting his head to one side.Observing the changes in the emotions that were reflecting on Sreekar’s face, Ajith acknowledged the inner battle that he was going through by realizing the reality. He lunged towards Sreekar and engulfed him in a tight embrace giving him solace.Sreekar grasped Ajith’s shirt with his palms while trying to speak yet no word came from his mouth and was struggling to breathe while his heart  palpitating with the fear of losing Swetha. His lungs were deprived of air and he was unaware of holding his breath. Ajith observed his condition, his pleading eyes, his quivering lips suppressing agony and him being oblivious of holding his breath.“Sreekar! Breathe! Everything will get settled. Breathe”, prompted Ajith while shaking him  to bring him out of his rivery of thoughts.Sreekar gasped heavily and came out of his daze. He released the air which he was holding for a long time without his knowledge and took in  fresh air deeply filling his lungs. He glanced at Ajith with his burning eyes filled with tears reflecting his fear and agony of upcoming circumstances.Ajith patted his shoulder, giving courage with his encouraging smile.“Sreekar! You are not a coward. You will fight this battle, not for you but …”, paused in his words, glanced at  Sreekanth, darted his eyes to Sreekar again and continued,“But for your loved once”.The hidden meaning behind his words helped Sreekar restrain himself from  the turmoil he was going through. Gautham held him across his shoulder to give him the support.Sreekanth and Shilpa stood dumbfounded with the sudden revolution and came into their senses after hearing Ajith’s words. Sreekanth rushed towards Sreekar,engulfing him in his arms he enquired.“Sree! What’s wrong  with you? Don’t feel anxious. I can’t see you stressing yourself, thinking of our life. We are very happy with whatever we were going through. Don’t let grief envelop you”, pleaded Sreekant.Sreekar felt the warmth in his brother’s embrace and relaxed for a while. Upon recollecting himself from the emotions, with an unwavering determination, he  declared.“Brother! Don’t worry! I am fine. We are leaving for our  city immediately. You don’t need to bother about your belongings. I know you have  sweet memories and  heavenly moments with this place. Pack a few  clothes for the time period. We will start at the earliest”, announced Sreekar.being flabbergasted with his sudden declaration, Sreekanth stared at  Sreekar with uncertainty about his decision.“Sree! Don’t take the hasty decision. I don’t wish to  push Shilpa into danger once again. Let us stay here  and you are always welcome to see us”, persuaded Sreekanth.Sreekar gazed at Sreekanth with an unwavering determination and spoke,“Brother! Trust me. I will put my life ahead to protect my sister in law. I will not be at peace unless I will lead you to claim that is rightfully yours. There is no looking back”.Though Sreekanth was against Sreekar's wish, his continuous persuasion and  coaxing, Sreekanth accepted to return back to their city and went to pack their luggage along with  Shilpa.Sreekar glanced at  Ajith, held his hand and requested,“Ajith! Thank you very much for looking out for them    for all these years. Please don't let them know about my affair with Swetha. Firstly I need to settle their account with my mother and reclaim their rights  which rightfully belong to them”.“You can trust me. I will  never open my mouth till you settle everything. My sister’s life is  connected with your  battle and I promise, I will keep them in the dark about your  love. But don’t break my sister’s heart”, gave his word and requested for his sister’s happiness.Sreekar gently squeezed Ajith's hand, his eyes sparkling with love and adoration for Swetha while speaking about her,“The least thing you can ever expect from me is to hurt my princess”, assured with  utmost sincerity. He continued with a soft smile on his lips,“She invaded the depths of my heart, claiming it as  her own kingdom, without me even realizing it. But I am more than willing to surrender my heart, placing it at her feet for eternity. I will promise to protect her, to cherish her, and to be the shelter she can always rely on. She is my everything, my reason to smile, and I vow to fill her world with all the love and happiness she truly deserves. I will forever be grateful for the gift of her love in my life”, declared with a touch of  commitment and determination.Ajith was touched by his words and hugged him tightly for having such a significant place for her sister. Sreekar reciprocated the hug  and after a while he slowly released himself from the embrace while asking for a favor. “Ajith! I wish to own this place and present it to  my brother as it holds their sweet moments and significant memories. I want you  to look into this matter despite the cost they demand for. Can you do this for me”, pleaded Sreekar, looking at Ajith with hope filled eyes.Acknowledging Sreekar’s love for his brother, Ajith nodded his  head in approval and assured,“I will do it for your love towards your brother”.Upon watching Sreekanth returning along with Shilpa carrying their bag, Sreekar ushered them towards the car. Meanwhile Ajith got Honey from the neighbors house where she was playing with other kids. Upon settling in their seats, they headed towards their destiny with a hope for the dawn of significant changes in Sreekanth’s life.Throughout the journey, Sreekar’s heart was palpitating for the events that were going to take place once he confronted his mother in his brother’s presence. He was battling with his rivery of thoughts, contemplating about the consequences he was going to face with his brother’s life as well as his relationship with Swetha. He was certain that the enchanting presence of Swetha only could blossom his life like a masterpiece painted with colors of their love and admiration. Engulfed in the thoughts of Swetha, Sreekar dozed into a deep slumber and was unaware of their arrival to the city.
