VirMan SS: Of Choices & Awakenings Authors note p7 - Page 6

I have to say one thing first, I am in Ishq wala love with your "Whatever our souls are made of..." VM. I swear I have never watched/loved any VM this much.

You are one of my favourite VM fans lol.

About the SS, to be really honest I am quite disoriented to write a proper comment to tell you how much I loved this. I couldn't manage to write a comment when I had read this piece,and can't bring myself to write anything sensible now. I apologize for that. I so so so wanted to read something written by you back then,had requested for the same too, and if you remember we even had a discussion on the same in HC, how we thought that Virat's love was limitless and what not but it is selfish enough to not let Manvi die. So my personal preference was this way only. Feeling extremely bad about his brother's unborn but not being able to oppose the idea for that was the only way Manvi could be saved. Personally I thought Virat's decision was quite tough to make coz he owned nothing that he could sacrifice and make his loved ones happy but still was required to make a choice. He had to choose between Manvi's life and Manvi's happiness. Very tough choice for a lover like Virat. Too bad, his thoughts were not given even 30 seconds of space, back then.

So basically loved how you potrayed both the sides extremely well. His dilemma in choosing between his life's life and his life's happiness. Its not like he only gained if he chose Manvi's life, he also had to lose no matter which side he took, considering Manvi's smile has always meant a lot to him. He had promised her a million of times that he wont let anything happen to her, but he had also said it,"tumhari jagah yahan hain,aur main chahta hoon ki poori duniya tum sar utha ke dekhe aur main tumhe is mukaam se kabhi neeche nahin aane dunga,chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye". And in that situation, his promises were kind of contradictory. He knows Manvi in and out,and i loved how you dealt with all those conflicting emotions in your writing.

Especially loved VV convo cause I had not tried imagining it much. I dont know why it reminded me of the scene where Manvi asks Virat if he ever regreted loving her.

Wish we could have gotten even ten fifteen minutes of something on these lines, on Virat's breakdown, his dilemma, Manvi's concern for him,and their ultimate pain of separation.

Anyways, thanks a tonne for the SS, for PM, and for that wonderful VM on their journey. 🤗 ❤️

I can't find my comment on Part 2 *where is the damn reserve* so I'm just making a separate reserve which I'll edit soon, pakka!
