As promised I am back to do my random babbling again…Ok so where was I, oh yes the latest part, but before that, I wanted to say a few words regarding the previous part, which means you have to bear more of my incoherent ramblings. I think the conversation between Rahul and Ridz was the highlight of that part, more so coz of the easiness that was shown amongst two friends and the banter and the smoothness with which the whole conversation flew. I like the way you added the reference to Gone with the wind in their conversation, comparison of Ashley with Armaan was a bit unfair. The least said about Ashley, the better…do not think much of his character, somehow he always manages to remind me of Devdas's character; neither of them have much of an appeal. Getting back from my mini trip of digressing, like I mentioned before their conversations always end up reminding me of my best mate. 'Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder' but only if the other person feels the same way as you, or else it could end up backfiring. Which may I add I've see happening with a dear friend of mine. Well that's when you know that God has better plans for you…

Though Armaan and Ridz's coffee encounter has their charm about it, but I think there was something missing, may be the fact that it was more from a third person perspective rather than a conversation between the two like Rahul and Ridz. But nonetheless it added its own little charm; Ridz sharing her childhood stories, her pranks et al. The Maslow's question reminds me of a funny incident, after reading the part where Ridz and Muskaan gang up on Rahul, I decided to test the waters and try it on my friend…Oh god I felt so sorry for the poor soul. But he was glad, that I decided to not publically humiliate him…lol. There are times when sometimes, you decide to do things on an impulse and you fail to realise as to why you did that, but in the end you are glad that you took the step. Even though Armaan feels guilty, but it's good to be selfish time and again, and that is why I like this FF because none of your characters are perfect.

Ankit, Ankit….there is something about this guy…I liked him more than usual in this part…see yet again he is not a bad friend, but there is a tad bit of jealousy for Armaan from his part, which he is not at fault. Anyone would feel that way in his place, and especially amongst friends it tends to happen unknowingly. Though I still haven't been able to figure out the reason for not being sure of him…

Now coming to the latest part, Ridz tip has already started showing its effects. I like the little girly conversation between Ridz and Muskaan. It's quite funny, how much of similarity I can draw with Muskaan's character and her personality. Rahul's part was good, very senti at point, but like people say falling in love always tends to bring out the senti side. I absolutely love Atul, more so than any other character, even Muskaan…his character somehow in the weirdest way reminds me of Hermione…the helping hand in Ginny and Harry's relationship. I don't know how much you'll agree with me on that front. He is the most perceptive out the lot, and hence I see him acting as a catalyst in the reaction ready to happen.

"You're sure he needs to return them?" Atul asked with a curious look, "maybe................just maybe that could be their final destination.......where they're meant to be........


He is a cheeky little bugger isn't he??? Pulling poor Ridz's leg…lol... Ridz reaction mirrors mine…my books are on strictly returnable basis only…I am going to make sure I get a copy of Scarlet, a one for keeping…coz my friend has warned me that his copy is not for keeping…as I never seem to return any of his books. A bit hypocritical I know…lol. So what is Armaan's sea urchin planning for her prisoner??


My absolute favourite part has to be the conversation between Armaan and Atul, by far Atul is my utter favourite now, and one of the other reasons is that he reminds me a lot of a very dear friend. Sometimes you missed the obvious, and that is what Armaan seems to doing about him and Ridz, and we all have done that somewhere down the line…The grey shade of his character is that…he's not taking the other person in to consideration; he seems to have forgotten that there are always two sides to a coin. I am more worried about Anjali and her reaction in this predicament, rather than Armaan or even Ridz.

Yet again you were amazing, a bear hug from my side for not just this part but the entire FF. Lastly I am not sure if my comment makes much sense, as I've written this in between packing… as I am off for a weekend away with friends. So if you update then do PM me if you can…no pressure, even if you can't I'll still keep a check on it.

Tc

Love

Huma

Even though there were no exclusive AR parts, I still loved this update Sam... mainly because we got to see the vulnerable side of Armaan... how doesn't have any compunctions in admitting how charmed he is with Ridhhhima. I thought the way he was trying to bluff his way out of Atul's persistent queries about Ridhhima's health absolutely adorable... and that in itself redeems him in my eyes of any perceived injustice to Anjali, if any at all. And yes, I wait eagerly to see the trail that will take Ridhhima to her "final destination".. in the meantime am curious to see the form "appropriate retribution" takes😉

Ohhh, and must mention that I like this avatar of Atul so much better, because he is after all an intelligent and perceptive guy. Hopefully, with his and Rahul's help, both A & R will reach their "final destination" much sooner.

Not at all swetheart, thank you so much for waiting for it! It was quite funny trying to log on in the office to try and post the part, but it was almost impossible, I just got as far as logging on the site, nowheer close to even opening the word document..
As to Rahul's comment - someone "hiding their head in the sand, like an ostrich" is said to be foolishly ignoring their problem, while hoping it will magically vanish. So Rahul attributed his attraction for Muskaan as as overdose of hormones but finally had to stop foolishly denying the obvious and face up to the fact that he was in love with Muskaan....
As an aside, since you asked me about the ostrich, surprisingly enough, though the metaphor is very commonly used, the truth is that ostrich DOES NOT bury its head in the sand!




ahh-- i cc-- well live and learn-- tx for explainin it-- tho i feel bad for the poor ostriches huz name is getting kharab becoz of this saying :P

RV

Hi girl 🤗 you are too cutre...the jumbled up comment is absolutely adorable!Yup Armaan is quite clear about what he feels or does not feel for Anjali, I guess the problem is that he is not willingto stop and think whether she feels the same or not!
Well Armaan did whisk her away w/o her agreeemnt but eh may just end up having to pay for it!
Yup, ATul is the only one who is thinkinga nd noticing, the rest are too caught up in their own little issues....
shall update tonight, thanks for the lovely comment!

my apologies for being lazy to comment
i dont think i did one for part 17 either :(
well it was a delight to read both parts
u bring our the best of the emotions in your characters
they sound so right and yet so real
Armaan whisking away Riddhima for the late nite coffee in seclusion
was a great one,absolutely loved her expressions in that scene
Rahul and Muskaan part in the beginning was a little strange but it was fine after when muskaan was all normal and back to her teasing self
and Atul * sigh* I just love your Atul ,i think thi sby ar has been the best character description for him
u make him sound so down to earth but important,not only for the fillers
i just am in love with Atul
his concerns about Anjali were so heartfelt
and then his new bond wid Riddhima,he balanced it out so well
an dthe best was Armaan letting him in on the story of Ridz not being ill really,the bond is so sweet and cool
and then she leaves the books for him
ok loving your fic Sam
hope u get some relief at work
take it easy hun
and do updt when u can
love
Hina


No sweat Hina, am glad to see you here......work has eased up now....transactions come up from time to time where I lose track of time but then things settle back into a decent routine...now while the transaction is still live, its wrapping up the loose ends so life is back to an even keel till the next one happens! 😆 But I enjoy that, keeps me interested in my work...
I am so glad you enjoyed both the parts...esp their emotions....as things ar eturning out, Atul is turning out to be the dude of the fic, poor Armaan 😆!
Shall update tonight!

Hi Prerna! Am so gla dyou liked the part.....ya, Muski is beeginingto realise how much she took Rahul's company for granted! Armaana nd Ridhima scenes, shall try but a honest confession - am petrified of writing romantic scenes, have no clue how to write them, doing of course is a different kettle of fish!😆😉
