THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 123 :Coming to an abrupt stop, Swetha whirled around to confront the source of the voice, only to be stunned to see the girl held in the person's grasp. Her lips instinctively formed the girl's name, overcome with a sense of dread.“Samyu ...!”.Samyuktha was being held hostage by Jayasurya, with a gun pressed against her head, as a means to achieve their objectives. He gestured menacingly to Swetha, indicating for her to return to Rana's side. Seizing the opportunity, Rana swiftly kicked the gun out of Steven's hand and delivered a powerful punch to his abdomen, while their guards launched an attack on Robert and Steven.“Swetha …! Run away from here. Don’t think of me”, screamed Samyuktha trying to  help Swetha from the father and son duo.Before Swetha could even contemplate the dire situation, Rana forcefully seized her and dragged her back to the mandap once more. Overwhelmed with concern for Samyuktha's safety and feeling powerless to resist, Swetha reluctantly followed him and took her place beside him, her mind consumed with worry though her heart believed that Sreekar would come for their rescue after seeing Robert and Steven.“Swetha! No,don’t listen to them. Nothing will happen  to  me. They know about my brother’s wrath if they go overboard. Run away from  here”, once again screamed Samyuktha, receiving a  tight slap in return from Jayasurya. “Do you believe we're intimidated by your brother? Let him step forward once. We'll demonstrate just how determined we are”, taunted Jayasurya, leaving Swetha in the clutches of his guards.Swetha cast a helpless glance at Samyuktha and then darted her eyes towards Robert and Steven, who were captured by the guards. Inwardly, she prayed for Sreekar's swift arrival and shifted her attention back to Rana.“Rana! This is unacceptable. You're overstepping your bounds. Let me go. Otherwise, Sreekar will ensure you regret your actions. He won't spare you”, Swetha threatened, attempting to buy time until Sreekar arrived.Rana gave a sinister smile and rebuked,“Once you become mine, he will not dare to lay a finger on me. Today no one can stop me from making you mine”, completing his words, Rana took the sacred thread from the  priest and tried to tie the knot.Swetha was terrified to her core, and she instinctively blocked Rana from tying the knot, struggling with all her might to resist him. Despite Rana's physical strength over powering her, Swetha fought back with a surge of energy she didn't know she possessed, determined to rescue herself from the impending danger.Meanwhile, Sreekar arrived with others, joined by Deepak and a few guards who swiftly launched an attack on the guards stationed at the gate. Taking advantage of the chaos, Sreekar led the charge into the farmhouse, followed closely by the boys, while his guards took control of the situation outside.Swetha desperately tried to wriggle free from Rana's grip as he attempted to tie the knot. Meanwhile, Samyuktha screamed at the top of her lungs, pleading with Rana to release her. Jayasurya stood beside Rana, a twisted delight evident in his eyes as he reveled in the prospect of ruining Sreekar's life.Just as Swetha was on the brink of losing all hope of being rescued, Rana was suddenly kicked hard, causing him to tumble down the mandap and crash to the ground. With a surge of relief, Swetha glanced at the person who had intervened and quickly rose to her feet, throwing herself into Sreekar's arms.Sreekar caught her just in time, preventing her from falling to the ground, and embraced her tightly, pressing her close to his chest. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply, savoring her presence, while letting out a sigh of relief."Baby! I was so afraid for you. I missed you," Sreekar exclaimed, pouring his heart out.“Brother ...!”.Upon hearing Samyuktha's voice, Sreekar swiftly turned his head towards her and witnessed her struggling in Jayasurya's grasp who was aiming the gun at her.“Samyu...!”, Sreekar yelled her name, surging towards her, but before he could take a few steps, Jayasurya's voice stopped him.“Stop right there, Sreekar! Even a single step from you could result in your sister's head being blown to pieces”, Jayasurya warned, holding Samyuktha tightly.Sreekar and the others abruptly halted in their steps, with Swetha gripping his arm tightly, her panic evident for Samyuktha's safety. Rana reached out to his father and glanced at everyone before finally locking eyes with Swetha.“Jayasurya! Leave my sister. You know the consequences for messing with me. Leave her”, growled Sreekar, clenching his fist tightly.“Send that girl to us if you prioritize your sister’s safety”, demanded Jayasurya.Casting a menacing look at them, Sreekar took a step ahead while growling,“Don’t play games with me Jayasurya. Leave her”.Jayasurya gave a sinister smile and fired the gun into the air. Placing it against Samyuktha's head once again, he yelled,“I won't hesitate to shoot her. Don't push me to the edge. Send Swetha to us”.Disregarding Jayasurya’s warning, Sreekar took a step forward, leading Jayasurya to shoot Samyuktha in the arm, causing her to whimper in pain and scream for her brother.“Brother ...!”, screamed Samyuktha.“Samyu ...!”, everyone screamed her name  in unison.Frightened by the sudden turn of events, Swetha promptly grabbed Sreekar's arm, preventing him from moving forward and pleaded Jayasurya,“No! Please don’t do anything to her. If you want me, I will come to you. Please don’t harm her." She was about to move towards them but was stopped by Sreekar.“Swetha! What do you think you are doing? Don't you trust me to protect my own sister?”, rebuked Sreekar.Swetha glanced at him helplessly and replied,“I believe in you, Sree, but they are harming her. Despite knowing that I am the reason for everything, I couldn’t sit back quietly”.Sreekar was about to reprimand her, but movements behind Jayasurya caught his attention, and a small smirk appeared on his face. He gestured to Swetha to go ahead, which baffled her at first. However, upon seeing his expression, she understood that he was up to something. With caution, she slowly walked towards Jayasurya, taking baby steps.Meanwhile, Gautham, who was positioned near Jayasurya, quietly fell to the ground and began to crawl towards him. Once he reached Jayasurya, he delivered a swift kick to his knees, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. Gautham quickly regained his footing, pulling Samyuktha behind him to shield her from harm.Rana, initially dumbfounded, quickly gathered his composure and assisted his father to stand on his feet. Taking advantage of the situation, Sreekar leaped near Jayasurya and kicked the gun far away from them. Then, he grabbed Jayasurya's collar and delivered a powerful punch to his face, cursing him for shooting his sister. Rana intervened, rescuing his father, and engaged in a fight with Sreekar.Meanwhile, the others engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining guards to gain control of the area. A few guards surrounded Sreekar and Rana, helping to shield Rana from harm. With the guards protecting him, Rana stepped back and noticed Swetha standing alongside Samyuktha, assisting her in stopping the flow of blood from her wound. He swiftly moved towards them, pushing Samyuktha aside and forcefully dragging Swetha along with him into the house.“Brother ...!”, screamed Samyuktha, alarming his brother.“Sree ...!”, shrieked Swetha, trying to release herself from Rana.Sreekar caught sight of Swetha being dragged by Rana and quickly pushed aside the guards attacking him. With determination, he lunged towards them. Before Rana could drag her inside, Sreekar pounced on Rana, delivering a constant bombardment of punches.“How dare you? How dare you eye my woman? I will kill you”, howled Sreekar, blowing a punch on his face.“Stop it Sree!”,  a familiar voice reverberated in the air making Sreekar pause from beating Rana.
