Hiyaaa Sam....

First in first... Well sorries for being maha late... But I didn't want to put up any reserved sign out there, and then not being sure at all of living up to it... I was caught up with school work as usual, and now that I got over with my class debate on democracy today, I decided I HAD to find time to pen down, nahh type down my essay that you so very much like!!.... 😆😆 Loolzzz..... Actually I read this since you posted... But since I knew I couldn't post the reply in 2-3 lines only, and also that putting up the reserve board wasn't gonna make such an impact, I prefered finding proper time and here I am!!.... Hahahahaha.... Thanks for the PM btw, believe me, I told you before, it isn't really the lateness that bothers me, its when you don't reply at all, because then you wonder about what's wrong... So reply after 6 months even, and I'll still love it as much!!... Seriously.... 😉😉

Secondly, Congrats for the 3rd thread... I feel being there itself does tell you about how much, we as readers love the fic... Its not just a story, its a far newer world... Its somewhat like reading scenes from a book, the difference being simply the screen here rather than the page... For I certainly believe a story without emotions is as hopeless as a body without soul... I guess that's why we love yours then again.... So just to say, hope it goes three times more... Or why not 3*3 times more... 😉😉 We'll still be there loving it anyway.... 😳


Coming to the part..... I don't like the idea of Ankit falling in love with our main lead... Not because of anything else... Maybe simply because I started liking his persona since a few parts... Since, he expressed how he wouldn't like to be a hindrance between two dear friends, one of which is his best buddy.... Somewhat to me, linking him to Riddhima seems wrong, not wrong as in a sin, wrong as in not clicking if you see what I mean... But then, we have the argument I guess about two different people who would be losing their love, Anjali v/s Ankit... And how, though both great buddies, would take it all quite differently... So from another perception, I totally get ur idea...

Anjali.... I knew it... The exact reason why I told you I feel she's not to be hated or loved... She's to be learnt from... And in what ways... She's exactly what any of us would hardly want to be on paper, yet many of us tend to become in real life... Not selfish to me, but fearful, ego-centric probably without realising it, and over-protective about her old "belongings"... Because for her, Armaan belongs to her, always has, with or without any Riddhima in her life...

AR.... Wooowww.... Superb!!... Now this was worth waiting for the surprise then!!... Definitely!!... Hahahahaha.... You can't believe how powerful were those three words..."I missed you" I'd even say "I love you" would sound completely improper at this point whereas the latter three words, Mindblowing effect!!... Don't know for the others, I could just feel their power in the style of writing... 😉 I actually love the way Armaan could guess out her worry even if he had some doubts on the actual matter... That's love I guess, and that's how it is also respected, in not asking someone to divulge anything he/she doesn't wish too.... 😳


RM.... Short, Simple and Sweet.... That's how I'd put it.!!!.... Though I am not personally a fan of them, maybe because they'd never been properly projected in the serial, though that's fairly my personal opinion, so I don't feel as much enthusiastic with their names, or scenes, as much as I do with AR... But it was nice, the burstout after so many days and so many pent-up emotions was justified... to an apt end I guess.... 😉

Before you go all sleepy, I'd have to finish.... Another last thing, please do tell me if you find the comments too long, actually I love expressing myself this way, and believe me, its a way of showing love for the fic too... I may not be the first one, but I find time to come and say a few things... I could shorten them up drastically, and you saying me so wouldn't make me mind at all believe me!!... So please do let me know Sam... ;)) 😛😛

Luvvv,
Snehaa.... 😃

HI Sneha! First of all thank you so much for a really wondful comment...I loved reading it! Second apologies for the dealy in responding, but I was caught up with zillion of stuff! So here I am, not 6 months late just still about a month late! Third, thank you for the congratulations! its thanks to lovely readers like you who not only read but leave lovely wonderful comments which makes it worthwhile writing this fic...swear to God, I look forwrad more to the comments than to writing the fic! Fourth, thanks for the lovely wonderful words of praise...for this insignficant fic to be compared to abook, I am reallytouched and thrilled! HUgs! And no, no more threads, this one is def the last! lol!
As for Ankit falling in love with Ridhima, I guess there is no dictating whom you should fall in love with...sometimes when I see couples, I wonder how did they ever get toegther in the first place, but somehow they gell! And I guess that feelingthat they share is a lot more important than anything else...but yes, theya re both in love with different people who love other people and they both deal with it very differently...I suspect a guy always carries the burden of not breaking down even if he so desires! And for Anjali, thats so aptly described - something that she has always thought of her as her own, something she hasn'st eventhought of defending cos she never thought it would be lost - so suddenly to have it taken away, tough to deal with...many manage to, but so many more dont!
Whiel I must admit teh RM scene is my favouite, I loved writing the AR part...yup, thats what being in a relationship is about - being there for the person you care for w/o trying to be too pushy..some things are best said at their own time and pace as will this......and I completely agree with you...I thought 'misisngyou" was far more powerful than a "I love you" would have been!
And NO, dont you dare shorten your comments! I love reading them! So I shall look forwad to an equally long comment on the next part!

sam am sooo happy right now...glad u could take the time out to give us an update...i can imagine things are hectic for u! with all the new and exciting things going on, whatever the cause for celebration, im happy for you :D
amazing part! sam, just loved it!
im stuck on one part that i keep going back to and reading over and over...the eternity ring!!!!!!!!! omg what a beautiful scene...even tho it wasnt a marriage proposal...it was sooo much more! most proposals we read or see in movies/tv are so over the top and elborate, but not very realistic...and this was just so sweet and simple! all thats needed is for the feelings and emotions to be put forth, nothing fancy or fake, this had exactly that...a promise, an i love u, and a ring! just perfect! im not gonna lie, i had a tear :)
haha padma is a smart women...glad she confronted riddhima on it. i bet it was hard for her to know her daughter, who up till date shared everything with her, has been hiding her new relationship!
anajli ankit scene was pretty emotional...i really feel bed for them. i get why anjali brokedown infront of riddhima, it was a natural reaction. and i understand whys shes hiding...but ankits right, no point in running away! she has to face this eventually!
i liked the last scene too...was a bit worried that again riddhima is going to feel really guilty...but armaan reasured her by holding her back :D happy to see how strong their love is!
hahaha the ekta kapoor comment was funny...but seriously, she has nothing on you girl! your writting is nothing like her shows, and thats a good thing lol
well i hope u can find time to write us another one soon! take care :)

"I love his soft eyes and,
the way that he catches me by surprise and,
he never has to wear a disguise.
I love the way that he kisses me,
and the way that he misses me.
I love the way that he said,
that I love you first.
But baby I really love you the most.
I love you the way that you just,
love mean and only me.
This is how,
life is suppose to be,
me loving you and you loving me."

Sam,
Although very delayed....he he he....the part is amazing. Do I sense that now Armaan will go through similar insecurities ones he gets to know about Ankit's feeling for "his" sea-urchin? I hope not! I just love Atul in your fic. He is so much better than what he has been made into on in the show.
I absolutely agree with you on the pace at which relationships unfold, but for 'readability' speed is required ;-)....
Hoping to see an update sooner!

It's sooo good to have you back Sam nd kudos to u for the amazing part...the gap didn't effect it at all.
The part was light and fun but i guess it got intense towards the end...
I appreciate how Armaan didn't push riddz to talk and just assured her through his gestures that he is going to be there for her through thick and thin...the scene where he gives her the ring was the most touching one...sweet!
and the chat btw Ankit and anjali...guess they both needed a vent and now it would help them to face the situation better. And Atul is just fab..he is one good friend to ALL of them...it's amazing how he knows each one of them inside out...i like him the best in this fic.
Anjali...guess i can understand the weak moment that she had with Riddz and said all those things but i still can't help but feel a lil annoyed about it...i, as a person, don't appreciate people who can't keep their emotions to themselves and i just got off the phone telling my bro off for so easily loosing control over himself and confessing his feelings so easily and let ppl see through him (he is two years elder to me..nd i yelled like crazy so u can understand how much i despise this particular weakness in people...he just did it for some frnd of his...long story)
anyways, but am glad riddz handled it so well...she is smart and i like her in the fic...but yeah i would have liked it had she told Anjali about her and Armaan's relationship and also given her a peace of mind but than am no guru at handling emotional breakdowns...so i guess she was rite in what she did....you wrote that scene very well (since i didn't comment on the prev part...am including it here😳)
and the end bit with Armi holding her back...awesome.. i sooo want to see wat Anjali's reactions going to be and what all is going to happen now btw the three...Sam update soon.
And i got no problems with the pace of the story coz am enjoying reading it.

Great work Sam.

love
Kratz!



First of all thanks so much for the PM! Shal def read it today! Its good to have you back!
I am so glad that you liked the part but even more glad that you like the pace and have no problems with it! You have no clue how glad that made me!
I think really strong relationships are ones where you can understand an appreciate the discomfort or uneasiness of your partner without having to verbalise it....and inevitably where there is a depth of feeling trust and honesty will follow, you just have to give it time...the ring comming as close to a commitment he could make w/o it being official - as he says, a pledge!
I am glad that you liked the Anjali / Ankit convo...I guess there is some comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your suffering - it helps to just talk abut tho how each deals with the knowledge is very different....
I guess weaknes is something that the strong cant identify with and I can appreciate it....so your poor bro got the rough end of your tongue....and he's te older one, lol! Good for you!
Yup, I like Ridhima in my fic too! And I guess sometimes things need to be handled with delicacy, sometimes bluntness does more damage than good....thanks I am glad that you liked the scene....

Hi Chahat! No you are not dreaming, I did update! 😆
I am so glad that you liked the part......Giving Ridhima a ring was Armaan's way of telling her that he was committed to her....
You are welcome for the PM!

EDIT
Wonderful part as usual! Loved the interaction between Ridhima's parents and Armaan....And I should have known that Padma would be able to figure out what's going on. So...since we have an approval from her, that must mean that an AR wedding can't be too far away, right? Maybe I shouldn't get to hopeful...
Can Armaan get any more perfect?! Remembering and reciting her poem, understanding her every emotions, buying her an eternity ring...so romantic! I truly hope that guys like this exists in the real world.
I feel really bad for Anjali and Ankit. Despite Anjali's immature behavior, I'm sure that she did truly love Armaan...and everything that she did was based on that. She didn't want to lose him, which is understandable. But unfortunately for her, those same behaviors could create an even greater rift between them. Ankit I only feel worse for because he didn't even do anything wrong. And Ridhima flirting with him at the ballet to make Armaan jealous must have really raised his hopes, only to have them come crashing down. Sam, please, please make the two of them happy at the end. I will definitely be devastated if the story ends with them as heartbroken as they are now...
Looks like once again Armaan will not have the opportunity to clear the air with Anjali....I'm not sure how much it would help at this point anyway. I think Anjali needs some time to think about everything and accept that Armaan belongs to Ridhima before the two of them can have a productive conversation. If they talk now, Anjali will probably end up displaying her vulnerabilities and saying things that she will later regret.
Can't wait to find out what happens next! Continue soon...

Hi there! I am sooo glad that you liked the part, given the long haitus...by now, I thought everyone must have lost interest so its sooo good to have you still following it and the lovely comment!
You know Ridhima and her parent's interaction was special because it reminded me of my folks and got me a lil senti! As to AR wedding, dunno if this fic will stretch enough to cover that! 😆 Who knows, given my inability to be succint, I might actually do that!
Oh beleive me guys like that do exist...they do get coloured sometimes by inconsequential fights that you might have but they exist alright!
I am SO glad that you dont think badly of Anjali...it is indeed devastating to find that the object your affections does not return your ardour! Its not as easy to deal with as it appears...heart is a strange animal, it doesn't always follow your bidding and its equally terrible to live with the knowledge that you are the cause of someone else's happiness which would explain Ridhima's unwillingness to tell all to Armaan....
Ankit, despite his dryness, is not a bad chap.....
I agree, I am not sure how much a convo between Armaan and Anjali would help....Anjali needs to work things out of her system and Armaan needs to give her time unless he is willing to forsake his relationship with her altogether....and I for one dont believe that you need to forsake one relationship completely just to maintain another......its sounds very romantic and fairy tale like but in reality it sets the seed for unravellng of relationships - for how can you be happy with a relationship built on the ashes of another? Yes there are differences in the importance of diff relationships and they need to be there but you dont just abandon one for the other!

Hi! Sam,

Just finished reading the part and as always it was a stunner.

Loved the interaction b/w Padma and Ridz. But the cheery on the cake was Shashank with "I think it would be really nice if you both would allow Armaan to decide for himself but by all means entertain yourselves." Do they all have a crackling sense of humour or what. JUST BRILLIANT.

Though, I am a bit let down by Ridz for not confiding in her mother. What is she afraid of? The way she confessed her feeling for Armaan showed her character and the depth of her feeling and also that she is not the one to be afraid or to be in denial once she has made up her mind. So I am disappointed that she neither confided in her mother regarding her feeling for Armaan and nor in Armaan (again) regarding the conservation she had with Anajli. The guy is totally in love with her and has made his views clear as far as Anjali is concerned and what position Ridz holds in his life. He so deserves to know about Anjali. She is not the interloper and by thinking so she is insulting Armaan's feelings.

I so love Atul for his maturity and perception. The guy always knows what is wrong and always has the perfect words for all the situations. Not to Armaan, not to her heart I hope Ridz atleast listens to Atul. What better words of wisdom could be than "what is important is the reality and truth of your relationship." These words should be more than enough to knock some sense into Ridz.

And lastly, I do not feel that the pace of your story is slow. Take your time. As far as you beginning to sound like an Ekta Kapoor serial, well not possible in this lifetime atleast.

Can't wait for the next part. Please let us have the next part at the earliest.

Cheers!!!!

Sona
