THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 129 :Hearing the screams  of Swetha, everyone rushed into the room and was  astounded to see her in  such a vulnerable state. She almost curled like a ball, sobbing vigorously and looking pitiful.Sreekar reached out to Swetha, pulling her into his embrace, gently patting her back, trying to comfort her and ease her out of the trauma.“Swetha, please, calm down. I'm here for you. Look around, see how many are relieved to see you safe. You did nothing wrong. Don't dwell on that moment. Everything you did was to protect me. You're not at fault. Please, look at me”, Sreekar pleaded with her, cupping her face gently, trying to console her.After grappling for a moment, Swetha regained her senses, surveyed her surroundings, and felt relieved seeing the people around her. She glanced at Sreekar, who was looking at her anxiously, and fell into his arms, sobbing softly.“Sree! I can't erase the image of Jayasurya lying in a pool of blood. It haunts me, accusing me of being a murderer. I can't bear the agony of taking someone's life. I feel guilty and can't forgive myself”, exclaimed Swetha, her voice filled with anguish.Just in time, the doctor arrived after hearing the news of Swetha waking up from the nurse. He gently reached Swetha and checked her condition, asking her a few questions to which Swetha nodded her head negatively or positively. If she needed to speak, she replied curtly.Later, the doctor instructed the nurse to inject Swetha and gestured to Sreekar to come out with him. Swetha held Sreekar's hand tightly, refusing to let him leave her alone. The doctor gave a warm smile to Swetha and gestured for Sreekar to meet him later.Sreekar stayed with her, holding her in his arms, waiting for her to drift back into slumber. He gently stroked her hair, offering her solace in his presence, helping her forget the haunting incidents. Once he confirmed she was in a deep slumber, he placed her on the bed, covering her with a quilt. Gesturing to the nurse to keep watch, he slowly left the room, closing the door behind him.fSreekar headed towards the doctor's cabin, followed by Ajith, Gautham, and Arjun. He knocked on the door and entered once he heard the doctor's voice welcoming him. They all took their seats, their faces filled with desperation as they awaited news about Swetha's condition.The girl is very young, innocent, and sensitive. She couldn't accept the truth of taking someone's life and went into trauma. If it continues, she may either go crazy or attempt suicide. She needs distraction and should be accompanied by someone 24/7. It would be better to change the pace for a couple of months until she comes out of the trauma and can handle the situation practically. You can think of the perfect decision. I advise a few medicines for her anxiety, but depending on them for a long time is not advisable. The love of her family members should help alleviate her agony and the guilt she is carrying in her heart. I hope you understand," explained the doctor.Sreekar sat quietly for a long time, unable to process the words uttered by the doctor. His mind went blank upon hearing Swetha's condition. His heart ached at the thought of her potentially attempting suicide if left alone. He felt a heavy weight in his chest, unable to bear the trauma Swetha was going through. He wished he could carry all her misery on his own.Sreekar jolted back from his thoughts, sensing a hand on his shoulder. He glanced at the owner of the hand and saw Ajith looking at him with a worried expression. He couldn't help but shake his head and avert his gaze, trying to hide his tears from Ajith, although they were not unnoticed by him.“Sree! My sister is not a weak person. She's very strong when it comes to handling emotions. Everything happened so suddenly that she couldn't process it. Let us accompany her and shower her with our love, which can make her feel better and see through the happenings practically. Don't worry. We're all here with you in these hard moments”,encouraged Ajith, trying to cheer up Sreekar, who was downhearted with the truth.Unable to control the overwhelming emotions in his heart, Sreekar hugged Ajith and sobbed, uttering,“I couldn’t bear to see her in pain. I wish I could take away all her pain and release her from the torment she's going through. I wish I could turn back time and change everything. I want to see her happy and cheerful like before. Tell me, what should I do to make her like before?”, His words carried the anguish and hurt for what Swetha was going through.Watching the love Sreekar had towards Swetha, Ajith's heart swelled with pride, and he assured, “Sree! Don’t worry. This is just temporary. Everything will return to normal with our support for her. She will be back to her normal self soon. Once the clouds disappear, everything will become clear. Don’t feel distressed or anxious. We're all here to support you”.After a few moments, Sreekar gathered his composure and headed towards Swetha’s room along with the others. Seeing her in deep sleep, they went to Balaramaiah’s room to check on him. Ajith explained everything that the doctor had informed them and how Swetha had been behaving. Balaramaiah's heart sank upon learning the torment his daughter was going through. He felt deeply saddened by watching Sreekar's distressed face as well.“Sree! I can understand what you're going through. I never imagined my daughter would go to such an extent as to kill someone for the person she loves. You both were made for each other and will go to any extent to protect each other. Don’t worry. She will get through this very soon”, Balaramaiah assured Sreekar, holding his hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.Sreekar glanced at Balaramaiah with reddened eyes and nodded his head, accepting his words. He was glad to see Balaramaiah being the pillar of support during this complicated period, rather than accusing him of being the reason for his daughter’s agony.Meanwhile, Raghavendar, Krishna Kumar, and Abhimanyu entered the room, followed by Bhuvaneswari Devi trailing behind them. All the gentlemen exchanged pleasantries, while Bhuvaneswari Devi stood still, unable to utter a single word, feeling ashamed of her earlier behavior.Sensing the awkwardness Bhuvaneswari Devi was going through, Balaramaiah addressed her and thanked her in a gentle voice, “Mrs. Bhuvaneswari Devi, thank you very much for protecting my daughter. If not for you, my daughter would have been arrested, and it would have been a black mark on her life. I owe you a lifetime of gratitude for helping my daughter avoid being slandered as a murderer by this society. Thank you very much”, his words carrying genuine sincerity.Bhuvaneswari Devi glanced directly at him, clasping her hands, and uttered,“Brother, don’t embarrass me with your words when I should be the one to thank you and ask for forgiveness. If Swetha wasn’t there, I would have lost my son. Without understanding their love for each other, I humiliated you all. Please forgive me for my actions and accept my apologies”.Balaramaiah cast a tender glance at her and with a warm smile he  replied,“Don’t apologize sister. Now we are family. Let’s forget everything that happened in the past”.Bhuvaneswari Devi glanced at him hopefully and queried, her voice laced with desperation, “So, are you willing to give your daughter’s hand to my son? I plead wholeheartedly for you to send your daughter to my house as Sreekar’s companion”, clasping her hands together, she stared at him with determination.With a radiant smile and a heart full of joy, Balaramaih shared,“The moment I saw him devastated, sitting outside the operating theatre, praying for my daughter's life, I knew he was the perfect companion for her. I even prayed to God to bless their love. Yet, I couldn't shake off my fears about my daughter's future, especially considering Shilpa's lonely life, devoid of in-laws' love. So, I tested him to see if he could withstand challenges rather than retreat. He proved his strength admirably, filling me with pride for my decision”.Sreekar's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed,“Uncle! Despite accepting me as your daughter's companion, why did you subject us to the agony of separation?”, His voice quivered with pain and disbelief.Balaramaih cast a glance at Sreekar, who looked at him with hurtful eyes. With a tender tone, Balaramaih explained,“Sree, you both chose to part ways due to circumstances, despite your deep love. Even though you didn't express your feelings or spend much time together, your bond is strong enough to understand each other's pain and sacrifice for each other. I wanted your love to grow stronger, so I subjected you to some trials. You both stood strong and supported each other, making your love endure. I'm proud of you both for not only honoring the elders' wishes but also for respecting each other's feelings”.Feeling ecstatic for Balaramaiah’s thoughts Sreekar hugged him  with glistening eyes  and thanked him for  his  support. Later everyone left Balaramaiah to give him some  rest.Y
