Seven Vows Part 3 -Part 259 Page 147 - Page 59

Chapter 151 - 153

Gautham and Kailash bond with Suman is a treat to read. When all her life she had only seen women treated as nothing more than mere instruments or puppets for the amusement and enjoyment of men in her household, when her own brother's inflicted pain instead of protecting her this must have been a welcome change. Her view about men is biased completely based on her experience and these boys along with the Varma family have helped her regain her faith in humanity. I loved Dinakarji in these chapters. By surrendering himself as just an instrument at the hands of Maa Durga he has enough compassion for helping in the healing process. By making her serve whole heartedly for Murali's Shradd he helped to bring peace to her mind.

Chapter 154 - 157

MV is a romantic at heart. RV is really lucky. It is good that Suman is not getting the hints that MV is dropping everywhere. If she had even an inclination on what MV has on her mind Suman would have fallen at her feet and confessed the truth instead of playing with her emotions. Vishnu is a miniature Sree. He is hardened beyond his age but very soft inside. The house warming scene and the dialogues were really emotional. I loved what you wrote Shruthi. He sees his mother in Suman. Only if someone had helped his mother during those tough times, she would not have left her only child to fend for himself. The kids in Varma family know whom to approach to get things done. Had a Chachu, Chachi feel with Suman and Sree agreed to take them.

Chapter 158 - 162

The much awaited Jodhpur trip. Shruthi, I have to tell you this first. You have woven each character to the story line so intricately. Each serving their purpose. MV's family tree confused me at first but then I made a chart and referred it while reading. It must not have been easy for you. Kudos. Now I know them except the kids.

Each time there is a flash back of Suman at her home, I understand more and more why she wanted to run away with Sree and also why she decided to stay back at her husband's family. The perspectives people have changes even the way they treat each other. Suman was considered inauspicious everywhere and now she is Mahalakshmi here. Even Poorni who is considered not worthy of attention because of her caste became the bearer of good fortune. And it is so true that people want to get girls with values for themselves but when it comes to following these values, they will take the help of tradition to avoid it any cost. These interactions are sure helping Sree and Suman to understand each other better in knowing where they are actually coming from.

Chapter 163 - 166

If anyone ask me to explain about" Seven vows" I will say Romance, Bromance and thriller. I don't know which one I like more. Tilak is finally making RV proud. But inturn making the culprits very fidgety. Sartaj and the goons will finally get what they deserve. The whole Sree- Suman conversation in the barn was exceptional. Much needed for Suman to leave her inhibitions and trust herself with Sree completely. Her pain is very much his pain. Loved it. This chapter was one of the best in terms of narration and conversations. "A thorn" - an apt title for that rubbish guy. Every girl would have met someone like him in their life. If MV was correctly called a Lotus , Sourabh is the dirt. Loved Suman's body guard. He was more adorable for the reason he gave on why he didn't like Saurabh. He pinched his cheek. Vaishnav learned it the hard way. Now wonder he and Suman are so in line with each other. They can understand each other so well.
