Only 🤗 and more 🤗, Sam.. missiles certainly not coming your way. Was going to retire for the night when I saw you'd updated ... will come back with my comments when I'm more wakeful, but before then wanted to let you know that I simply loved it as usual... need I say that everytime 😊

Edited...
Much as I love Atul's character, Rahul is giving him some competition in the likeability department. His "but there will be someone, and from what I have sensed today, not in the too distant future, who will mean the world to you and he must come before I do'if he does not, then you would be unfair to him, to your relationship and to our friendship..." couldn't have come from a person lacking maturity, magnanimity or sensibility when it comes to relationships and priorities. All too often conflicts arise when we feel slighted by our friends/siblings/offspring entering into new association because we claim "exclusive" ownership upon the person we love..., smothering him/her with our attentions... and our insecurities cause friction not only between our loved one and his/her new relations but take the relationship that we're being possessive about downhill!

To summarise... as you might've guessed... admire this avatar of Rahul. And didn't I say in an earlier response that I was looking forward to the RM relationship coming to fruition... and how it does come about.... and you certainly made the wait worthwhile, Sam.😊

Ohh... and I'll be waiting to see what Ridhhima has to say to Armaans's "love maketh a wit of a fool comment"... she has been going a tad too easy on him of late... at this rate Armaan's going to lose his touch.. and soon be eating out of her hand, not that I wouldn't want him to 😉

As for Armaan, I suspect much of capitulation to Ridhima is of free will as she herself acknowledges when she is thinking about him….so there is no hope pf redemption for him! As to the both of them finally finding their brains, there is a little bit of a wait!

*edit*

sam the guys are onto a battle now, in my head that is, to grab the seat of my fav from the fic...gosh...i had a hard time figuring who i like dbetter n um still no whr in range of a conclusion..it was of course lopsided to Rahul's benefit, both in my biased head n by the part giving him so much to do in so many dimensions....but i still have to credit armaan for wat he is worth, with not long bits in the decently lengthy update, he remained significantly present nonetheless....

most significantly in ridhima introspection of the man he was...a lot of self experienced pointers there um guessing we wr treated to!...

rahul muskaan are an inevitable delight in every way they make appearnce...i duno who my fav guy is...atul armaan rahul compete very close for one getting gold...but know without a speck of doubt that RM here are my fav couple...if my bias for rahul isnt enough, muskaan a punjabi, from chandigarh....can't not do the trick for me, if it dint id dig my own sweet cozy grave!

alright...thzts most of it....anjali in a short appearence n ankit getting her outs it...um thinking...not of the trite obvious...but just the combination...the idea that u mentioned both the names anywaz in that short bit...it makes me think,,,,

waiting for the next, never seems like u update soon enuf which is more my impatience i guarantee...u ate going all well n entitled to breaks n gaps...keep giving us the best...n the throat...uurrgghhh rotten ENT issues...good luck with that...

nj😳

And I absolutely plead guilty of many self pointers in this part especially in Ridhima's introspection about Armaan! And if I be really honest, much of Rahul is drawn from a very close buddy of mine…To date if I have a fight with my guy, he is the one I go complain to and he inevitably knocks sense into me and sends me back with my head screwed on right! Which is also why I understand Muskaan's trepidation about the RR relationship? I am lucky that my buddy is married to a really sensible woman, yet I make a conscious effort on to barge into their life, and, I guess distance helps!

Hope your throat is better now. I have had a miserable time with mine, so I can appreciate. I have this stupid low grade fever, the medicine that I am having makes me soporific so I have been operating at half mast!

a wonderful update. lovely expressed the emotions and conflicts of the characters.

i just hope that soon anjali gets rid of her misconception that armaan loves her so that atul anjali track can also start.as i like atul's character very much.he is very understanding.

Confusion heard his voice, and wild uproar Stood ruled, stood vast infinitude confined; Till at his second bidding darkness fled, Light shone, and order from disorder sprung."

So for better sense to prevail, confusion must play its part! 😆

Yes, I agree Rahul is one hell of a smart guy! Unlike Armaan, he's got his lady love figured out pretty well so he's handling her the acordingly!

sammy............ur right on track..and i cant believe that rahul can be so conniving.........i mean its .......ek panth do kaaj ...........and hes managing it beautifully......on one hand he's being a good friend by trying to work out Riddhima- Armaaan issue and on the other he's subtly letting muskaan know that riddhima is just a friend and he has no romantic interest in her.............thats a brilliant strategy........

all the emotions that riddhima is feeling right now are so true and so very realistic......i mean most of the girls go thru it at one time or the other...........but i guess she or rather both armaaan and riddhima need a big whack on the head to clue them on to the right track.........wonder what that will be......................

i alsoliked the way rahul tried to clarify things with armaan..........it takes guts as well as showing how you always want the best for your friend......and if your wants the same thing then all the more reason for clearing up things..........

lkg fwd to the next update....................and i can obviously guess that the weekend was verrrry nice..........

Hi there! Glad to see you back! Actually Rahul is quite conniving, isn't he? Or rather he is one smart cookie who has figured out how Muskaan's mind works and he is tackling it accordingly. He has left her with enough fodder to chew on, she is too bright not to make the connections and work things through!

I guess Rahul just cares a lot about Ridhima and he also recognizes that if he does not do that, he may just screw up things between Armaan and Ridhima and he cares too much about his friend to do that!

Yes, indeed, my weekend was fantastic! I am usually on Cloud 9 after one such weekend, but this time round the cold and cough proved to be the party pooper!

Hey Sam....

Awesome part once again...I'm totally in love with RM here....the way Rahul made Muskaan see his point by taking Riddhima's example was a brilliant strategy....He sure is one mature guy....Just hope Muskaan see his point...
And all the confusion Riddhima is going through is like so realistic....Loved it...
Oh and Rahul apologizing to Armaan was a great thing to do....I just hope Armaan and Riddhima see light soon enough....
Waiting to read more....😊

And the reference thread is there on the very 1st page...it's a thread where everyone can recommend the stories they've read so far and found to be good...Your fic was recommended by a lot of people there so I thought of reading it....And I'm super glad I did...😃

Love
Shyna

I think Ridhima's introspection is something that most people go through when you are struggling to deny what you really feel…it's just that she thinks too much and that might just be her undoing!

Shall update soon!

I am so glad that you enjoyed the part…and thank you for the wonderful words of appreciation! Ooops, I render you speechless! That is a gorgeous compliment so thank you very much my girl! I am much of a chatter box my self, so I can appreciate this so much more!

I think them flirting was a natural progression of what they have been thinking and feeling…though unfortunately, they do not seem to be able to verbalise their feelings!

Yup, Rahul is one hell of a smart guy! Now let's just see whether his strategy works or not! Lol!

Hmmm…what do I tell you about myself? I am a banker living in Damascus on my own while hubby lives sin another city! I love reading, traveling and basically being a bum! Actually I answered a lot of stuff about myself on the WOTW…this might tell you a little more about me!

What about you? Where are you based and how young are you?

ok i officially LOVE rahul! hes amazing, what a guy! hehe
the way he immediately felt remorse for his childish outburst in front of armaan says a lot about his character! he really is a beautiful human being!
gosh and hes sooo determined to get muskaan, or at least get her to give them a chance! at least hes not wasting time or giving up! i feel he is the strongest of the lot!
his advice to ridz was bang on and finally got our little sea orchin to start thinking deeply about her feelings for armaan! his convo with armaan was too good, the boy really got a lot accomplished in one day!
and lastly his discussion with muskaan about "armaan and riddhima" was very well done! instead of putting her directly on the spot, he made his point very clear without being blunt! looking forward to seeing the affect of his words on muskaan, riddhima and armaan!
continue soon!

And I am sure that Armaan, Ridhima and Muskaan will be forced to introspect – well Ridhima is already doing so – courtesy young Rahul..let's hope that it leads them all to the right conclusions!

Shall update soon!
