THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 27 :Everyone stopped in their way and whirled towards the direction of the voice to see brother of Neeraja who was  Dressed in a black jeans, skyblue shirt and wearing a denim jacket on it. He looks very handsome, charming and most attractive with his dazzling smile.“Brother! I told that I will come with my friends. Why do you bother to come pick me?”, queried Neeraja.“I was on my way to home and thought of picking you as it is on the way”.“Hai Akash bro! How are you?”,queried Arjun while stretching his hand to  him.Akash shaked his hand with Arjun and replied,“Hai Arjun! I am fine. How are you doing? I feel delighted to see you all at a time”.Later he wished everyone and at last stopped at Swetha and queried looking at her with sparkling eyes.“Hai Swetha! How are you doing? It has been a long time since you  visited our home. Mom was asking for you. Didn’t Neeraja tell you about mom missing you?”, queried Akash.Swetha gave a warm smile to him and replied,“No Akash sir. She told me  but I couldn’t find the time  to visit your house. I will surely come and meet her  shortly. Convey my sorry to her for bothering her with my delay”.“Hahaha! Don’t worry. She is acquainted with your busy schedule. That’s why she doesn’t bother you. Otherwise she  might  have called you  continuously till you come and see her”,stated Akash.Everyone laughed at his comment and Akash   gestured to Neeraja to sit in the car. Before moving towards the car he enquired with Neeraja.“Neeru! Did you invite them for the birthday party?”,queried Akash.Neeraja shook her head and replied,”We still have the time. I thought of inviting them  two days before the  party”.“oh, okay! Anyway I am here and I can inform them in advance”,turned towards the others and announced,“Next week we are organizing the birthday party of mine and I am personally inviting you for the party. I am expecting you people there at the party. Okay?”.!Heyyyy ...”, all cheered in happiness.“Sure Akash bro. We all will come for the party”,assured arjun.Akash nodded his head and glanced at Swetha once again and entered the car. They drove away from there and  the remaining people took their vehicles to leave from there.Before Rasi could move the bike, Arjun asked her,”Hey Rasi, Why don’t you people stay for some  time. We can go to  the nearest bakery and spend some time”.Swetha immediately rejected the offer saying,”Oh my god. My father has come from the village. I should go in time.  If you people want to hang out, then you continue. I will go by auto. No problem”.Arjun and Rasi replied in unison,“No way.”.“I have to go early. Today is  the first day of my brother’s job. I should be there to hear about his first day experience. If  my Sreekar brother caught me hanging out with you, he would kill me”, replied Rasi.Arjun nodded his head and replied,”Then we will plan it for tomorrow during college hours. I am planning to take  you on a date”,explained Arjun.Rasi gaped at him in surprise and queried,”What? If my brother saw me outside  with you, we need to end  our love for the next minute.“How long   would you be frightened by your brother? We should inform your family after  completing our exams. How can you tell them if you behave like a scary kitten?”, queried Arjun,who got annoyed after hearing her brother’s name.“We can  think about  it later. Firstly my motive is to hide it from my brother. Otherwise you can’t imagine the consequences”,  replied Rasi.“If you want, I can inform your family immediately. Then you don’t need to  worry about your brother. What do you say? Shall I come with my parents tomorrow to ask for your hand?”,queried Arjun with a teasing smirk. Rasi punched him in his arm and rebuked,”Don't try to provoke me? I don’t wish to get disturbed in our studies. Once we complete the exams, I am ready for anything. But let me leave now”, without giving him any chance to speak, she drove towards their home.
