THE SILENT LOVE ...Chapter 39 :Swetha's face was drained of the colors by realizing what had happened. A feeling of dread took over her after seeing Sreekar and tried to step back immediately forgetting that they were tied  with her braid.The force of her stepping back made her  fall on him once again and he too bent forward due to the tightness of the braid. This sudden movement led to an unexpected event which shocked them to the core.Swetha’s lips touched Sreekar’s bare chest as the first two buttons of his Tee shirt were kept open and Sreekar’s lips touched her forehead as he bent down due to her sudden stepping back, as if they were kissing intentionally.Both froze in their places unable to process the happening and stood still for  a while feeling the touch of their lips. Sreekar was the one who first came out of the shock and he removed his hands which were sneaked around her waist to stop her from  falling down when she stepped back. He removed the braid crossed around his neck and took a step back to keep a decent space between  them.His heart was thumping rapidly and all the desires  he buried  beneath  the  heart were awaken making him crave more. He can feel the touch of the soft skin of Swetha and his hands were itching to feel the touch of her skin once again.He observed Swetha who was standing in front of  him lowering her head. He can  notice her flushed face  and by seeing her uneven breathing, he realized that she too have the same effect like him. He wished to take her in his arms and release all her tennsions   away by worshiping her body. He felt very terrible for getting such thoughts and shook away all the wild thoughts occupied in his mind.Swetha felt embarrassed with the incident and couldn’t raise her head to hide her flushed face. She prayed to God to let  the mother earth open and swallow her to escape from this embarrassing situation.Everyone was  still in a  daze, unable to register in their mind that had  happened in front of them. Fortunately they didn’t see them kissing each other as they were facing Swetha’s back.Meenakshi was the one who came out of the shock first, rushed to  them  and held Swetha’s shoulder to check whether she was okay. She  was acquainted with Swetha’s demeanor and understood that it was very hard  for her  to get out of   that embarrassing situation. Meenakshi realized that Swetha was feeling very ashamed of the sudden incident and called Rasi to accompany to her house, helping Swetha to leave the place.“Chinnababu! She is  a young kid. Please don’t …”,before Meenakshi could complete the sentence to apologize him  on behalf of Swetha, Sreekar interrupted her.“I am sorry!”,apologizing to her, Sreekar immediately ran back to his room  ascending the steps literally running away from there.Everyone stared at him being dumbfounded to hear an apology from him  and running to his room as  if a devil was chasing him.Swetha slowly restrained herself from the embarrassment and whispered to Meenakshi,“I will leave aunty. Good night!”, and moved towards the door.Before she could step out, Rohan reached her and crossed his hand around her shoulder while carrying her packet and said,“I will drop you at home. Come”, ushered towards her house.On the way he persuaded,“Sweths! I know it is hard for you to come out of the incident. But you don’t need to feel embarrassed or guilty, when you are not at fault.   It was just an accident and don’t take it to your heart. Even my brother didn’ expect it coming”.Swetha nodded her head,  unable to speak anything, being in a shock. Her mind was clouded with only the earlier incident    which was flashing in her mind again and again. She can feell the touch of his lips on her forehead.Once they reached the house, ROhan took her into his arms, patted her shoulder and ushered her inside. Swetha bid bye to him and went inside the house after taking the bag from him.
