THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 16 :Sreekar stared at her astonished face by seeing him and chuckled inwardly. He was enjoying her nervousness around him. He realized that his presence had a good effect on her. Swetha, by watching him in comfortable clothes realized that he was there for a long time. She peeked at Rasi who was sitting in the next chair to Sreekar from the corner of her eyes. Rasi was controlling her laughter by seeing the troublesome face of Swetha. She can see the person who was cheerful up to the last minute, become like a statue without any words.Swetha felt like her legs were giving up as they became numb and frightened to collapse down. Her body has become cold, hands were shivering by seeing his intimidating look. Her total body was shaking and her breath got hitched in her throat.“Chinna Babu! Take the coffee. You feel delighted with her coffee. She is Swetha, my god daughter, my friend and my well wisher”, introduced Chandra Mohan.Sreekar took the coffee without taking his eyes from her. He slowly whispers to her, ”Tigers can bounce on their prey at any time. Be careful”.Swetha, petrified with his statement, looked at him with terror filled eyes. She wanted to speak out but no word came from her mouth. She realized that he had heard her each and every word she spoke with Rasi. She wished to vanish from the place in a blink of  a movement. Sreekar diverted his eyes by hearing Chandra Mohan’s voice.“Swetha! He is Sreekar. My brother's son”, informed Chandra Mohan.Swetha took the chance, nodded her head to Chandra Mohan and ran into the kitchen. She leaned on the wall and kept her hand on her heaving chest to calm her down. Rasi, who came behind her, laughed by seeing her condition.“Hey Sweths! What’s wrong? You said that you will cut him into pieces but here you are looking frightened by seeing him”, teased Rasi controlling her laughter.Swetha glared at her, grabbed her braid and rebuked, ”Are you playing with me? Why didn’t you tell me about his presence? I would have left long back”.Rasi winced in pain and pleaded, ”Sorry Sweths! I didn’t mean to frighten you. You looked so cheerful after a long time and I didn’t want to spoil it. I didn’t think he would come down when you are here”.Swetha left her braid and peeked into the living room and noticed Sreekar stealing glances towards the kitchen while speaking to Meenakshi. She immediately hid back and informed Rasi.“I will leave now. You inform aunty later. I will leave from the back door. Okay!”, stated Swetha.Rasi nodded her head and Swetha slowly left the kitchen from the back door. She went to the entrance door without making any sound and slowly took her chappals and wore them. She slowly left the porch and was about to leave the house but got startled by seeing the person in front of her.Sreekar,who was speaking to Meenakshi and Chandra Mohan while having his coffee, observed Swetha peeking through the Kitchen. He understood that she was trying to escape from the back door and wished to see her once again.While he was contemplating how to make an excuse to leave from there, his phone buzzed with an incoming call. He picked the mobile and realized the person was his personal assistant. He excused himself from his uncle and went out to speak with his PA.When he was seriously speaking to his  PA, Swetha sneaked to the front side porch and was about to leave from there. She froze at her place when she noticed Sreekar standing at the gate and was on a call. Sreekar completed his conversation ,disconnected the call and glared at Swetha making her shiver all over the body. He took a step towards her to reach but got halted by hearing a voice.“Sweths! Oh my god! My lucky charm! I Love You”, while screaming, Rohan came running towards her, lifted her in the air by hugging her knees and spun around.
