THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 15 :Swetha checked the surroundings and after confirming Sreekar’s absence,shouted at her aunt for the cakes she prepared.“Meenu! Where are you? Will you not feed me the cakes? You literally forgot me after your elder son arrived”, yelled Swetha.Meenakshi, who was coming from the kitchen holding the plate immediately reprimanded,“I will smack your ass if you blame me. You are the one not showing your face recently. Uncle doesn’t leave a day without enquiring about you. What’s wrong with you? You look so busy these days. Did you forget that all your free time was spent with us”.Swetha rise to her feet and held Meenakshi shoulders giving a cheeky smile. She took the plate from her hand, kept it on the coffee table and twirled her round saying,“How can I forget the most beautiful lady in the world. You are my most favorite aunty. Don’t be angry on me Meenu. I was just caught up with something. I promise, I Will surely spend my time with you people. What should I do to alleviate your anger? Shall I prepare a coffee with my magical hand”.“I will  be very honored if you can prepare a coffee for me. You have become a busy person,you couldn’t find any time for us. Why don’t we feel delighted when you offer the coffee”,taunted Chandra Mohan who had just arrived.Swetha whirled around and smiled widely upon seeing him. She immediately reached him, took the bag from him and threw it onto the couch. Later she held his hands and spun him around along with her.“Stop you naughty girl. I am not going to fall for your tantrums. Stop, you little rascal. I feel dizzy, stop”, screamed Chandra Mohan.Swetha stopped spinning him and made him sit on the couch. She knelt in front of him and  helped him to relax by rubbing on his chest.“Okay! Okay! Calm down. You should accept that you are growing older”, teased Swetha.Chandra Mohan smacked her head lovingly and rebuked,”What’s wrong with you? I have not seen you for almost a fortnight. Why didn’t you come all these days?”.Swetha held her both ears, kept her most innocent puppy eyes  and pleaded,”Chandu! I am sorry. I will not repeat it again. I will surely meet you daily. Okay!”.Chandra Mohan stroked her hair lovingly and replied,”Swetha! You know that you have become a part of our family. We are good friends. If I don’t see my friend I feel something hollow in my heart. Don’t repeat this again, Okay?”.Swetha grinned at him and replied,“Promise! I will not miss a day without meeting you. Now go and get yourself fresh. I will prepare a good coffee for you and Meenu. Okay!”, and ran into the kitchen.By the time Swetha prepared the coffee for everyone, Chandra Mohan got fresh and sat in the living room along with others. Swetha poured the coffee in the cups and kept them in a tray.Later she carried the tray carefully looking her way towards the living room. She didn’t notice the people sitting in the living room as her attention was on the tray.Swetha gave the cups to Chandra Mohan, Meenakshi and gyrated towards Rasi to give the cup but froze in her place when she saw the person in front of her.Sreekar, who came early on that day to spend the weekend at his uncle’s house, heard everything from the beginning.  He wished to let her know his presence and would like to see her reaction. He entered the living room once she went to the kitchen to prepare coffee. He saw her coming from the kitchen without paying any attention towards the people sitting in the living room. Once she   turned to him to give the coffee cup, he gave a piercing look at her.
