I can go against anything to keep you in my life but couldn’t expose you to the abandonment by your loved ones.

However I couldn’t witness you endure the isolation from your own family”, With unwavering determination, he expressed his commitment to embracing her into his life, resolved in facing every minute obstacle that may cross their path, yet devoted in shielding her from the anguish of familial abandonment.Sensing his insecurities, Swetha tenderly glanced at him with a soft smile while delicately cupping his face in her hands, uttered in a gentle voice,“Never in my dreams, I will harbor any resentment towards you if you abandon me to reunite your brother with your family. Regardless of the circumstances fate may leave, my heart always worships you like an unwavering devotee. It can neither despise you nor allow any other person in its territory. This life is dedicated for you”.Sreekar sensed his heart swelling with contentment as her words enveloped him, compelling him to fall for her again and again with her simple gestures and mere words.Gently cradling  her hands that lovingly cupped his face, with a quavering voice due to the emotions that were engulfing him, Sreekar uttered,“What great deeds I have committed to be blessed with you in my life. I promise that my heart shall beat exclusively for you until my very last breath. Regardless of the destiny that fate chooses for us, you will reside in my heart, worshiping you as my deity”, his words filled with utmost sincerity and devotion, promising his commitment towards her.They both lost in one another and kept gazing each other looking through their souls. Sreekar slowly lifted his hand, with the back of it he  gently caressed her cheek, gazing at her admiringly. His eyes travelled across her face capturing each and every feature in the depth of  his heart.“Can I kiss you!” asked Sreekar, when his eyes rested on her lips.Swetha found herself frozen in her place with his sudden request and kept  staring at him being stupefied.“I remember, I have already kissed you earlier, which was the very first kiss for you. But it spontaneously happened in the heat of the moment. I don’t wish to compel you into anything which you are not ready for. I  wish this moment to be  a wonderful memory in  our life”,explained Srekar, his words indicating his significance for her  feelings.Swetha suddenly found herself feeling shy  all of sudden as the heat traveled through her neck and ears tinting it rosy red. Blushing intensely, her cheeks graced with  a shade of pink, couldn’t meet his gaze, glanced everywhere but not at him. Gracefully tucking a strand of her hair behind her ears, Swetha awkwardly stepped back from his embrace while lowering her eyelashes feeling embarrassed to gape at him.“I ...! Aunty ...! Calling ...! I will leave”, stuttered Swetha as she was enveloped with nervousness And surged towards the door.Before she could even take a second step, Swetha felt herself firmly seized by Sreekar's strong grip, her arm gently pulled as she found herself delicately falling into the comforting embrace of his chest. His hands wrapped around her with a reassuring hold, one hand tenderly cradling the nape of her neck, while the other crossed securely around her waist. In that moment, the world seemed to fade away, leaving them enveloped with warmth and closeness. Swetha gaped at him in astonishment, her hands instinctively clutching his shirt over his chest, her breathing becoming rapid, her lips quivering anticipating his kiss, while her eyes filled with a longing that spoke volumes, conveying the desire to remain enveloped in his embrace for eternity. The world around them froze, unspoken emotions dancing between them creating palpable tension between them.Sreekar tightened the hug, as if not allowing the air in between them, drowning more and more in her captivating eyes, slowly neared her face where his breath fanned on her lips.Sensing his lips drawing near, Swetha spontaneously closed her eyes enjoying the intimacy. Her  lips quivered with anticipation yearning for his gentle touch, tightened her fist on his shirt while his hand at her waist drew mesmerizing circles, causing delightful goosebumps all over the body. Her heart pounded rapidly, echoing the sound as a secret melody meant only for him to hear.Unable to restrain himself any longer, Sreekar slowly and tenderly captured Swetha's lips, initiating a gentle and passionate kiss that felt akin to savoring the sweetness of honey. In response to his delicate touch, Swetha's legs grew weak and numb, threatening to give way beneath her. Yet, Sreekar's firm and supportive grip held her securely, preventing her from descending to the floor. As the kiss deepened, Sreekar's attentiveness extended beyond their lips, his exploring hand roamed her body, caressing and discovering her treasures. The intensity of the kiss left Swetha breathless, her senses overwhelmed by their shared desire.Sreekar reluctantly broke the kiss, realizing Swetha’ being out of breath. He gently rested his forehead against Swetha's, creating a moment of tender connection. Swetha, with her eyes still closed, savored the lingering sensations of their shared intimacy. After a while, they both opened their eyes, locking gazes with a satisfaction flickering in their depths.In that silent exchange, they discovered a sense of completeness that transcended the mere act of a kiss. Longing and contentment danced in their eyes as they continued to stare at each other, the unspoken promise of more moments like this hanging in the air.“I LOVE YOU!”, confessed Sreekar, his words coming from the depth of his heart.Swetha glanced at him, looking deeply into his eyes which were reflecting his commitment towards her,  downcasted her eyelashes as the shyness enveloped her.“I LOVE YOu!”, replying to him, Swetha stepped back from his embrace, gave  a mischievous smile, ran towards the doorand left the room after glancing at him once again.Sreekar couldn't help but keep staring in the direction she went, lost in reminiscing about the earlier events and savoring the lingering sensation of her kiss on his lips. Meanwhile, Swetha found solace in her room, relishing the lingering sensation of their intimacy with a content giggle.Later at night Sreekar received a call from his mother which gave him a positive hope for his brother’s reentry into their house. They spoke for an hour and Sreekar fell onto the bed with a gloomy face  after disconnecting the call.Sreekar kept staring at the ceiling, while his eyes were pouring like a stream as if  all his dreams got shattered within a blink of an eye. His eyes didn’t rest through out the night turning them bloodshot red. His mind kept wandering around Swetha and their little encounters they  went through from the time they met.
