THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 131 :As the days flew by, the wedding day arrived swiftly. Sreekar dressed in a dhoti and kurta, adhering to tradition and culture, aimed to impress Balaramaiah, while Swetha adorned a Kanchipuram silk saree, radiating her inherent beauty. The couple looked gorgeous on the mandap, captivating every guest with their charm and elegance. They appeared as if they were destined for each other. Amidst the priest's chants, Sreekar tied the knot around Swetha's neck, sealing their union in traditional fashion.After completing the rituals and bidding farewell to the guests and relatives, everyone gathered in the open area for conversation. Sreekar and Swetha sat side by side, stealing glances at each other intermittently. Each time their eyes met, Swetha blushed deeply, her eyes lowering shyly, a sight that Sreekar admired.Later, Sreekar called Deepak and received a bunch of papers from him. He then handed the papers to Swetha and whispered a few words in her ear. Swetha's eyes widened in surprise at first, then transformed into delight as she heard his words. She smiled radiantly at him, then carried the papers and approached Sreekanth and Shilpa.“Brother in law! Sister!This is a gift from us on this special day of  our union. Hope you love it”, exclaimed Swetha.Looking at her surprisingly, Sreekanth took the papers, and his eyes widened upon seeing their contents. Shilpa gasped in surprise, realizing what the papers contained. Covering her mouth with her hand, she glanced at Swetha and Sreekar, darting her eyes between them. Sreekanth, too, was bewildered, and he kept staring at Swetha in disbelief.“Liked the gift, brother!”, crossing his hands across Swetha’s shoulders,Sreekar who approached them inquired.Sreekanth immediately pulled Sreekar into a bone-crushing hug, his voice filled with emotion as he exclaimed,“Sree! How could you do this? How could you even think of this? I never realized you had grown up to be more mature than me”.Reciprocating the hug, Sreekar replied, his voice filled with love and affection towards his brother,“Brother! This place holds significant meaning for you as you began your married life here. It's like a heavenly place for me. I wanted to gift you this place as soon as possible, but it got delayed due to some legal issues. However, I'm glad I could present it to you on this special day. Sister-in-law, are you happy? This will be your maternal place now, as Uncle has accepted you as his daughter. What do you say?”.Shilpa threw herself into Sreekar's arms, sobbing as she spoke,“Sree! Despite being an orphan, God has blessed me with you as my brother and Balaramaiah uncle as my father. I owe you both for a lifetime”.Sreekar gently held her shoulders and patted her lovingly as he spoke,“You are my brother's wife. How can I ever let you down? I promise to shower you with all the love and care that a maternal family provides for their daughter. I am not just your brother-in-law but also your brother. Come to me for help whenever my brother troubles you. We'll both stand by you and fight for you, okay?”.Shilpa smiled as she wiped her tears, embraced by Sreekanth, and said,“Thank you, Sree! Take care of Swetha. She is very precious”.Crossing his hand across Swetha's shoulder, he promised,“I will ensure she never sheds a single tear”.As his words resonated, everyone in the room basked in the warmth of his affection towards Swwetha. Ajith approached him, enveloping him in a heartfelt embrace, a tangible display of gratitude for his unwavering love towards his sister. Balaramaiah tenderly patted his head, a silent gesture conveying his joy for their blossoming love. Raghavendar and Bhuvaneswari Devi offered their heartfelt blessings, wishing for their love to flourish eternally. Chandra Mohan and Meenakshi, Krishna Kumar and Mahalaxmi, overwhelmed with emotion, shed tears of joy witnessing their union.Abhimanyu and Ambika, accompanied by Arjun, approached them, extending their blessings with heartfelt smiles, while presenting a sealed envelope as a token of their affection.“Swetha, I had hoped to present this to you once your exams were over. Unfortunately, circumstances prevented me from doing so then. I believe now is the opportune moment to pass on your rightful possession. I hope you won't refuse it, Abhimanyu explained, his voice tinged with uncertainty, unsure of her reaction.Amazed by his words, Swetha eagerly opened the envelope and examined the documents within, only to find them incomprehensible, as if written in a foreign language. She cast a puzzled glance at Sreekar, whose astonishment mirrored her own as he analyzed the contents.“Uncle! Oh my god! You've made her a shareholder in your company, offering 25 percent of the shares. Unbelievable”, exclaimed Sreekar, his words tinged with disbelief.Everyone glanced at him with expressions of astonishment, baffled by the sudden revelation. Swetha couldn't fathom the extent of Abhimanyu's love and affection, overwhelmed by the realization that he had shared his own property to express his care for her.Swetha looked straight into Abhimanyu’s eyes, her gaze reflecting sincerity as she gently refused,“Uncle, I would feel truly delighted with your blessings and the love and affection you shower on me rather than these papers. I'm sorry to say, but I couldn’t accept it. I wish to remain your goddaughter, but not at the cost of a share in your property. I couldn’t bear the guilt of receiving a share of your property for a mere help I extended to you earlier. Please forgive me”.Abhimanyu attempted to protest her refusal, but Swetha remained determined to decline his offer. Sensing the tension, Sreekar took the initiative to mediate and settle the matter without affecting their relationship.“Uncle, I truly appreciate your efforts in showering your love on her”, Sreekar acknowledged before turning towards Swetha with a gentle reprimand,“Babe, is this the way to behave with your godfather? You should acknowledge his efforts in officially welcoming you as a member of his family. If you don’t wish to accept this offer, there are better ways to handle it. Why not present it back to Ajith as a token of your gift for his marriage with Rasi and still be his god daughter? There's no need to hurt his feelings when it can be handled so simply”.Swetha glanced at Sreekar, her eyes reflecting gratitude for solving the problem, then shifted her gaze towards Abhimanyu. Holding his hands, she uttered,“Uncle, whether I am a shareholder of your company or not, I will always be your goddaughter. I only wish for your love and affection, not your property. Arjun and I will always be siblings. Please understand”, Swetha pleaded earnestly.Abhimanyu, though disappointed, felt a sense of pride in Swetha for her decision to refuse the property and blessed her for a happy life ahead. Arjun embraced her, promising never to let her down as her brother. Sreekar expressed gratitude to them for understanding Swetha’s emotions.Later, everyone retired to their respective rooms to rest. The following day, they embarked on their journey back to the city. After completing the necessary rituals at the mother-in-law's house, Sreekar announced their upcoming journey to Switzerland, scheduled for the next day. Everyone congratulated them and wished them a happy journey, urging them to enjoy every moment of their time there.Under the farewell of their loved ones, family members, and friends, Sreekar and Swetha embarked on their journey, hopeful of the joy that lay ahead, which they knew would bring liveliness to Swetha. With personal goodbyes to each one, they departed hand in hand, leaving their family members feeling ecstatic.
