At my own peril , coz i am just asking for trouble here from my darling anuster aka meeeeeeooooooooowwwwwwwwww!!!
🤗🤗🤗

🤗🤗Muahhhhhh!🤗🤗🤗It's all good, sweetheart!

before i start, let me also say that i completely disagree with your answer to shona's first para and completely reiterate what she has said...deny if u will, but that's how it is! LOL😆😆😆

You know how i feel about SNT, about SNT's AA and above all about your writing. i want to take a moment to talk about the way you have written this part and for that matter every other part. i have said this after every part that your writing is what literary dreams are made out of, but what i want to say today is that the unique quality of your writing is its honesty and its simplicity, which makes it sooooooooo highly real and palpably descriptive. every time i read snt, and esp esp this time, its like i am watching scene after scene unfold before my eyes, till i forget that i am actually reading, not watching . i think that is one of hte biggest triumphs a writer can aim for, and u achieve it not once but every single time. but never like this time , never like this part my girl....Oh thank you so much, Sonali yaar🤗🤗That is a lovely compliment! Muahhh! Maybe it's like that cuz when I write it, I sometimes feel like I'm watching it in my head and then writing out whatever I see😆😆😆....so in way I'm just narrating, that's all yaar😆

i almost feel i can hear the dialogues, see the expressions, feel the intensity of hte scene, see anjie's sobbing heaves , and hear the silence while anjie is crying!

and now back to our anjie who waited all day in eager anticipation only to have her hopes dashed and her heart broken...You picked up on that🤗....yes, I wanted to highlight the contrast of that...how happy she was, and what it came to and how it ended.
strange are the ways of hte heart and the logic it follows! They sure are! what makes a daughter identify an award as the only way of finding the way to a father's heart and hang on to this hope in single-minded persistence. what complicates our relationships so much in our hearts and in our heads, that we have to resort to tortuously convoluted methods of trying to reach out to each other instead of resorting to simple communication. *sigh* But then I think it's all about 'ifs and buts' and perceptions yaar...and I think it's so ironic that for an otherwise very 'logical' person who usually thinks from her head...when it comes to her father, all logic gets tossed out the window.why does communication become soooooooo difficult that it begets so much pain, and yet why is it soooooooooo easy to cry on a most unlikely shoulder, in our moment of greatest grief and defeat! and why do we lash out in anger and scream and hurl insults , when the only thing we really want to do is to cry inconsolably like a little girl while someone holds us tight and gives us a shoulder and arms to cry on. 🤗🤗🤗That is what I wanted to portray.


there are people in this world who have the felicity of freely expressing their emotions, their loves, their needs, and their joy or sorrow . there are other unfortunate souls who , though no less emotional, and often far more sensitive, are unable to express their deeply felt emotions,angst , affections, love, despair, or insecurities. it is a much more difficult way of life, a much harder existence , for usually the intensity of their feelings become almost unbearable without an outlet . the fear of rejection makes them hide behind a stiff, often hard exterior the feelings and emotions which may be far more sensitive than they care to admit. such people have a very very difficult life indeed. and so is our anjie in such a state where she desperately, desperately needs to reach out to her dad, show him how much she hurts , how lonely she is without him, how much she needs to have his love, appreciation and approval, how much she needs to make him proud of her...she needs to measure up, to be the apple of his eye, and to know that he loves her, she needs to tell him that look i am your worthy daughter...i am your daughter, worthy or not! Exactly...that is it in a nutshell...and I could never express it that well🤗

in her inability to reach out to him, she has tied her hopes to this tenuous thread ie the IOTM award. it seems to be her only or atleast the most immediate/direct way at present to reach out to him , to be noticed, and she has far too much laid out weighing on it. and her hope of winning it is what has kept her going for a while. her professional ambition is just yet another indirect, under wraps effort to win her dad's attention and appreciation. oh the travails of not being able to throw your arms around your dad's neck and tell him u love him! oh the misery of not being able to give in to emotional exhibitionism! And that is so the tragedy in Angie's life, isn't it?

and atul, the insightful, knows this...he knows how brittle is the tough exterior, how thin the veneer...and he knows exactly how much rides on this award for Anjie. he has grave doubts if she will be able to face defeat in this if it comes her way, because it will take away more from her than anyone else other than him realizes. and he is scared for her! he has seen the girl buried deep inside, and he knows how sensitive and scared she is! and so he fervently prays for her to win it , to retain the slight opening he has forced in her shut doors. and he is rightly worried!

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, u took it away from her! it had to be i guess, though i had begged u in the last part not to , even then knowing how it must be! When is life fair, and yet it gives back in some way what it takes away! Yes exactly....life is not fair....I'm sure there isn't a single person amongst us who hasn't had to learn that harsh truth of life the hard wayit took away anjie's supposed route to her father's heart, only to make a route into her heart for someone else.I love how you've put that...guess that is what happened😆..as atul opens the door to that fire escape, the creaking of hte door is the knocking on anjie's heart as he quietly , gently , firmly and lovingly reaches out to her and tries to soothe away the hurt and the tears that lie locked deep inside her heart. sometimes, we dont need someone to tell us to hush! we need someone to hold us and hug us and tell us to cry on their shoulder...someone to tell us that it will be okay, that they will make it okay for us, and anjie's someone has been brought to her in her moment of depair by life.

atul hesitates at the door, because he knows that it is not easy to console Anjie, or to reach out to her . he recognizes a moment of intense grief and hopelessness, of shattered expectations, of depair when he sees it. he knows not if he should intrude upon the privacy of a world collapsing around anjie's ears. he is scared to tread amidst the broken shards of her heart, her h opes and her dreams. and yet, when a loved one cries as if her heart will break, there is apoint , perhaps just a sob, which makes all fear, or hesitation fly out of the window and the only thought remaining is how to console, reassure, soothe and support the person. Oh you've described this so well, sweetheart🤗🤗 That is IT! Exactly it! A dilemna...he almost left...but that one sob pushed him over the edge...and so a twist of fate.atul knows what anjie's reaction to his intrusion might be, but he doesnt care for he cannot bear to see her like this.he is willing to take her lashing.

anjie's hurt and despair has finally burst out, and all the emotions inside her chest are fighting with each other to come out. at moments like this , the only thing and yet the last thing you want is for someone to come and hold your hand. she needs an outlet, a vent, a punching bag to vent her anger, her frustration, her pent up emotions, her feeling of being cheated by fate ,at the unfairness of the whole thing-and atul knows it and presents himself to be punched and then to be leaned on. and seeing atul, anjie goes from icy coldness to anger, to hatred , to fear at being pitied,to disgust at being seen in her vulnerability, to finally giving in to the greatest need of the hour for some affection and comfort from a kind and kindred soul. that tear that drops out of atul's eyes, finally crumbles her defences totally and the smile forces her to give in......it is truly said that what smiles cannot bring together, will be bonded by tears. and today the union of anjie and atul's tears have forged a connection which is beyond words or description...Oh Sonali yaar...you've explained the entire graph of that scene so well!🤗

anjie finally lays her head to rest on a shoulder she somehow knows is not a pitying one, but a caring one. it has no condescension,no conditions, with a strange unspoken reassurance of never leaving or inflicting hurt , of understanding beyond words and an empathy that she was scared to hope for her. this was a moment of coming to rest for her, a home coming, a refuge where she could feel protected and taken care of. a branch , no a solid bank in the midst of the tumultous stream of her troubled life,where she could finally come to rest. and for him, a completion he had only dreamed of and had perhaps dared to reach out for. That's exactly what it was....a homecoming of sorts...in ways she doesn't even fully realize yet.

u say two different people? but where is the difference? when two parts join to make a whole, when two beings meet and merge to complete, complement and fulfill each other, it is as if it was meant to be...two parts of the same entirety who have finally found each other to make up the whole again. one was meant to find, touch and complete the other, so that both could find their peace. And I guess that is what love's all about, hmmm?

i repeat this again, that what cannot be completed with laughter will find completion amidst tears. that is how the world goes round...And for some reason, the tears do so tug at our heart in ways that the laughter a lot of times can't, nahin? Ofcourse the one combination that cuts straight thru is that of laughter thru tears...really gets me anytime I see it.

i have space only for a word about mili, but let it not be an indication about the amount i enjoyed that part. she reminds us all of mini who we adore, and yet we alll see immediately she is different, more like a little anjie. and may i say , almost more believable! atul seems to collect all these complicated, disturbed , affection-hungry souls on the way and heals their hearts as only he can...i am waiting eagerly to see how this one progrsses! LOL@ Atul collecting all these complicated affection hungry souls😆..I guess he is doing that in a way😆....Well, Mili is fun to write...yes she is Angie in some ways and Mini in many others...let's see where I can take her from here....😉

its a special part for u, its a spl part for AA and snt, and a very spl part for me...may your pen prosper and heart flow over with more of this wonderful tale that regales us so. thank u my meoooooooowwwwww! Muahhh! Thank you so much for always encouraging me, sweetheart🤗What would I do without you?🤗

CHAPTER 19: Phase two


Fire Escape:

It could have been five minutes, an hour or maybe an eternity…neither of them could tell for sure…still they both sat there, holding each other.

Anjali slowly opened her eyes and blinked, feeling a little disoriented for a moment. She felt a hand stroking her hair soothingly.

"Atul" she realized with sudden clarity as the haze cleared and she recalled what had happened....the ceremony, losing the award, Papa's reproachful look, the hurt, the pain, the tears, her breakdown and finally....Atul.

Atul seemed to sense that she was alert again and expected her to move away instantly, but she surprised both of them by continuing to rest her head on his chest, no sign of any tension in her body language. And so he continued to hold her.

"Anjali?" he said tentatively after a few moments.

"Hmmm?" she replied a little distractedly.

"Feeling a bit better now?"

She smiled slightly against his chest and then finally raised her head and looked at him. Slowly, she nodded her head.

"Good," Atul smiled, giving her shoulders a comforting squeeze.

Anjali's gaze dropped down to his hands on her shoulders as if she just realized that they were there. Atul followed her gaze and then instantly dropped his hands.

She slowly glanced up at him again, feeling suddenly cold and bereft for some reason, as if some warmth had been taken away from her....and she couldn't quite figure out why it felt that way.

Atul stared at her, something fierce on his face for a moment, "Everything will be fine, Anjali. Trust me." he said, in a quiet yet determined tone.

Anjali was quiet for a few moments as she stared back at him, then slowly somewhat of an ironic smile broke out on her face.

"You're a good friend, Atul," she said, tilting her head slightly as she looked at him.

Atul looked taken aback for a moment, then he glanced down for a second before looking up at her again with an ironic smile mirroring hers, but he didn't say anything.

"Thank you," she continued quietly, "Thank you for…"

He held up a hand to stop her and softly replied, "What are friends for?"

Her smile widened at that and as she looked at him, thought to herself, He has no idea about what the real reason is….and yet, he looks at me as if he just understands…and after all I did, after all I said….here he is… she shook her head in wonderment at that.

I do understand, Anjali, Atul silently answered the unspoken question in her eyes. He had noticed the moment between her and Dr. Shashank which everyone else may not have in the euphoria of congratulating Ridz. The moment in which a daughter's eyes had been bright with unshed tears, but a father hadn't noticed that brightness or the raw pain in those eyes. His joy over one daughter's victory had blinded him to the pain of the other.

The loud beeping of a beeper suddenly roused both of them from their thoughts and they hurriedly pulled their respective ones out.

"Mine," said Anjali as she stood up and checked the message on hers. "Dr. Keerti."

Atul stood up as well and said, "Guess it's time to go then," feeling reluctant for these precious few moments that he'd gotten with her to end.

"Guess it is," replied Anjali with a sigh, putting her beeper back in her pocket and started climbing up the stairs to the door. After a few steps she paused and noticed that Atul wasn't there, so she turned and called out to him.

"Coming?"

Atul, who had been staring at the floor a little thoughtfully, started and then replied, "Yep, coming," and then followed her out.

***************************************************************************************************************


Locker room:


Riddhima stared happily at her IOTM award, running her hands over the glass, then hugged it to herself for what seemed like the hundredth time before placing it in her locker and shutting it.

She turned around to leave and then yelped a little in surprise, backing into the lockers when she noticed Armaan standing right in front of her.

"Boo," he said grinning at her.

"You??!!!" she said, catching her breath, "What…? Doing?"

"It's ok, it's ok," said Armaan, raising a hand, "I can understand your speechlessness…I happen to have that effect on a lot of girls," he smirked.

Riddhima rolled her eyes and throwing her usual withering look at him, started to brush past him when he put out an arm to block her way.

"Basking a little too much in the glory of victory today, haan Basket?" he turned to look at her with a challenging glint in his eyes.

"And why shouldn't I?" she replied in a haughty tone, "I did win after all, didn't I? Despite someone's tall claims??" she smirked at him.

"Oooooooh…a little extra nasty today, aren't we?"

"You've taught me well," she retorted in irritation. Then after a moment, looked away and sighed, "What's the point of this, Armaan? Why do you always have to pick a fight with me?"

"Me????" he said, with his most innocent expression, "I pick fights with you??!"

"What do you mean?? Do I do it then??" she replied in outrage.

He raised his palms up and shrugged in an 'I'm not saying anything kind of gesture.'

"Arggh!" she said, "You are so damn irritating!"

He grinned and replied, "The feeling's mutual, sweetheart." She opened her mouth to retort again when he interrupted, "But just wanted to let you know…you can bask in your 'glory' all you want right now. Because it's not going to last."

"Oh really?" asked Riddhima, crossing her arms and arching one eyebrow at him.

"Reaalllyyyy," he replied with a confident smirk, "You got lucky this one time…beginner's luck," he rolled his eyes, "…but be prepared for defeat very, very soon. Because next month, without a doubt, that award's going to be mine."

Riddhima laughed at that, "That's good, Dr. Armaan. Very Good. You keep on building those castles in the air. I know I'll beat you next time AGAIN!" she smirked back at him.

"You want to bet on that?" he narrowed his eyes.

"Bet?!" she stared at him in surprise, then scoffed, "I don't believe in betting and all that, ok?"

"Kyun, basket? Scared you'll lose?" he taunted, leaning in a bit.

She leaned back a little to get away from him and replied, "Scared? Haha! I'm just taking pity on you, or do you have some masochistic tendency to be humiliated again and again?"

"Oh, you don't worry about me, Basket. I'll be juuuuuuust fine…hmm, let's make this a bit more interesting," he said, thoughtfully rubbing his hands together, "How about…the loser has to do whatever the winner says for one whole day…that's a fair bet…so what do you say?"

"What?! What kind of bet is that? And what do you mean whatever the winner says?" she asked him suspiciously.

Armaan laughed at that, "Basket, Basket…why is your mind always in the gutter? By whatever, I mean…uhh…like a personal assistant…if I tell you to get me coffee, you do that, fetch me some files, you do that…etc. etc…" he said, gesturing with his hands.

"And if I win then I tell you to fetch me coffe, files etc. etc?" she retorted.

"The key word here being "if"…but yeah, sure," he smirked back at her.

Riddhima didn't say anything for a few moments as she mulled it over in her head…feeling a little unsure about the whole weird bet.

Armaan shook his head at her, "Chicken," he taunted again.

"I am NOT a Chicken, ok!" she sharply replied, pointed her finger at him.

"Yes you are," he replied, knocking her finger away with his own.

"No I'm not!" bringing her finger up again, right in his face.

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"No you're not?"

"Yes, I am!" she replied without thinking

"Haha! Gotcha!" winked Armaan, snapping his fingers at her.

Riddhima grinded her teeth in frustration as she thought up of a million ways to kill him right now.

You know, Riddhima she mulled to herself, This really might be the perfect opportunity! Crush his oversized ego once and for all. He would never be able to live down having to be her personal naukar for one day. She smirked to herself at the instant image in her head of Armaan fetching coffee and sandwiches for all of them.

Turning to him, she finally replied, "You know what, Dr. Armaan? I think I will take up this bet after all. I could use a personal naukar,"

Armaan chuckled at that, "Over-confidence this early, Basket? But that's ok…you're going to need all the confidence you can muster. So…bet pucci?" he asked, sticking out a hand to shake on it.

Riddhima glanced down at his hand, then turned up her chin and brushing past him said, "Pucci."

Armaan watched her walk away with a grin on his face. Oh. this is going to be too much fun. he thought to himself as he turned towards his locker.

**************************************************************************************************************

Sapna rushed in just as Armaan was about to leave the locker room.

"Armaan, Armaan!"

"Sapna, Sapna!" he mimicked laughingly.

"Offo!" she looked at him in an irritated manner, "Accha now listen to me. I was thinking we should throw a little congratulatory party for Ridz since she's won IOTM. What do you think?"

"A party? For Basket?" said Armaan making a face.

"Oh come on, Armaan! Be a sport now! We'll throw one for you next time, ok?" she said.

"No, Sapna darling, I will throw one for all you guys when I win next time," he smirked.

Sapna shook her head and laughed, "Yes, Armaan. I'll be really looking forward to that party. Accha now listen…I've got most of the things figured out. We can have the party tomorrow in the evening and let's make it a surprise for her. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get the message to everyone. I think we can divide up the list between you, me and Atul."

"Ok," sighed Armaan. "But just for you, Sapna my darling," he said, ruffling her hair.

"Thank you soooo much, Armaan!" she grinned back at him. "Accha listen, have you seen Atul anywhere? I've been looking for him since a while now, but kahin dikha hi nahin."

"I don't know yaar, I haven't seen him since the IOTM ceremony…and even Angie for that matter."

"Hmm," murmured Sapna thoughtfully, realizing now that Atul had disappeared around the same time as Angie.

Then she shook her head again, "Accha I have to run now," she turned to leave, "got a lot of stuff to organize for this party. And I have to find Atul as well," she muttured to herself under breath.

"Wait wait wait," she turned around again. "I almost forgot!"

"What?" asked Armaan.

"Someone has to bring Ridz to the party without her finding out," she grinned at him.

"And?" said Armaan.

Sapna's grin widened as she looked at him, almost laughing now.

Armaan finally realized what she was getting at and broke out into laughter.

"No way! You think I'm going to bring Basket to this party of hers?? I have better things to do with my time!" he scoffed.

"Armaaaaaaaan!" said Sapna, adding a hint of pleading in her tone now. "Come on yaar…I've already got so much on my plate otherwise I wouldn't even bother you. I would ask Atul except I just haven't been able to find him at all!"

Armaan made a pained face, exhaling in irritation.

"Pleeeeeeeease," she continued in the same tone, hopping up and down a little now.

"Fine!" said Armaan, giving in. "Fine, I'll do it!"

"Yay! Thank you!" she said, pulling his cheeks. "Ok, gotta run now!"

"Do you realize that I'm probably the last person she'll agree to go anywhere with??" he called out after Sapna.

"I'm sure you'll figure it out in some way, Armaan!" she called back, "I have full faith in your legendary charm!" she laughed and then hurried out quickly.

************************************************************************************************************

Nurse's Station:

Atul was talking to the receptionist at the desk about the reports for one of his patients when Dr. Shashank arrived there as well.

"Nurse, could you please page Dr. Shubhankar to meet me in my office?"

"Yes, Dr. Shashank," she replied, picking up the phone.

Atul turned towards him, "Good Afternoon, Dr. Shashank," he said, as always feeling a little intimidated by him.

"Good…evening, Dr. Atul," replied Shashank glancing at his watch and smiling.

"Oh…uhhh…Good evening, Sir," said Atul, a little embarrassed now.

"So how is everything going, Dr. Atul? Dr. Keerti was telling me you did really well on the surgery you assisted her with," said Shashank.

"Thank you, Dr. Shashank," Atul smiled back slightly, "Everything's going well, just hectic as usual,"

"Ah but that's the life of all us doctors, isn't it?" replied Shashank.

Atul laughed slightly, "Yes it is, Sir."

Shashank happened to glance at the IOTM board behind Atul just then and noticed his score.

Glancing back at him, he said, "Planning to work a little harder for next month's IOTM, Dr. Atul? I'm surprised to see your score, especially after what Dr. Keerti told me that surgery."

"Uhh…actually Dr. Shashank.." said Atul, glancing down nervously at the floor.

"Just a little bad luck, Dr. Shashank," a voice interrupted him from the side.

Atul and Shashank turned in surprise at the sound of the voice and saw Angie walking over to them.

"I'm sure he'll do very well next month," she said, when she finally stood in front of them. "Right, Dr. Atul?" she asked, turning to smile at him.

Atul quickly glanced at Dr. Shashank and noticed him staring at Anjali in puzzlement.

"Uhh…yes. Right. I'll definitely be working harder next month, Dr. Shashank," he replied.

"Good evening, Dr. Shashank," said Anjali, finally turning towards her father with a polite, cool expression on her face.

Shashank nodded at her slowly, still a little puzzled with her behavior, "Good evening, Dr. Anjali," Then after a moment, added impulsively, "Would you see me in my office for a bit? I wanted to discuss something."

Anjali just stared back at him and didn't say anything for the longest moment as Shashank stared back at her awaiting her answer. Atul watched father and daughter engaged in a silent battle of wits. Anjali's eyes answering with a definitive no while Shashank's commanded her to say yes.

"Dr. Shashank?" interrupted the receptionist just then. "Dr. Shubhankar is waiting for you in your office."

"Umm…thank you," replied Shashank, tearing his gaze away from Anjali's finally and turning to the receptionist. "Tell him I'll be right there."

He glanced back at Anjali again and then at Atul, finally nodding at both of them and walking away.

Anjali glanced at his retreating figure for a moment and then turned to Atul with a smile back on her face.

"Hi! I was just going to the cafeteria. Want to grab some coffee?" she asked.

Atul blinked in surprise at her for a bit and then smiled, "Yes. Sure. I mean Yes, I'd love to," he replied after fumbling a bit, making Angie smile a bit more in amusement.

As they both turned to leave, they saw Sapna rushing down the corridor towards them.

*****************************************************************************************************

Oh god! Sapna? Bad timing yaar! Atul muttered in his head.

"Guys, Guys!" said Sapna, skidding to a halt in front of them. "I've been looking all over the place for you all day! Listen, we're throwing Ridz a surprise party to congratulate her for IOTM. I've got all the stuff planned out. You guys just need to help me out with inviting people."

Atul turned to glance at Anjali and noticed her stiffening up

Sapna rummaged around in the pocket of her labcoat for a bit and finally produced a piece of paper, handing it to Atul. "Here you go! Just make sure you inform everyone by tomorrow morning latest. I know it's kind of last minute yaar, but it's the best I could come up with," she rattled on. "Oh and before I forget, the party's tomorrow evening, ok? Don't forget, alright?"

"But Sapna…" Atul started.

"Arey yaar!" she interrupted him in horror, "I forgot to ask permission from my Mummy to go to the party!" she smacked a hand on her forehead. "Sab kiye karaaye par paani phir jaayega! Achha I have to go now…My shift for the day is over and ab ghar jaake Mummy ko kaafi maska maarna padega to get her to agree. I'll see you guys tomorrow then! Byeeeeeee!" she said, hurrying away as quickly as she'd appeared.

Atul blew out a deep breath and turned to Anjali, wary of her reaction. She was staring out into space, lost in thought.

"Anjali?"

She shook her head slightly and turned to him, "Sapna's quite the whirlwind today, isn't she?" she smiled.

Atul chuckled a bit, "Yeah, a little more than usual today,"

"So, ready for coffee then?" she asked. "We can go over the list of who all needs to be invited to the party over coffee, cool?"

Atul just stared at her in complete shock, wondering if he'd heard her correctly.

"Atul?" she asked in a puzzled manner. "What happened?"

"N…Nothing," he replied, recovering quickly, "Yes, let's go then."

And they both finally turned and headed towards the cafeteria.

Oh I love this Anjali girl. Never thought I'd like her more than Ridzi 😊 So Anjali is finally dropping her defenses with Atul. The poor thing still cant believe it 😆
The scene with Shanky and Anjali was awesome. I am honestly starting to get pretty mad at Shashank.
I hope Anjali is able to overcome her resentment towards Ridzi though. Its sad that her father's attitude is driving a wedge between Anji and her sis.
Lovely update, waiting to see some more Shanky-Anji scenes.

Anu, yaaaaaar!

What is this? An update with no PM? Haila, I just chanced upon Chapter 19, and thank god I did!
🤗🤗🤗
This was a nice, even, chapter...I'm glad you're giving everyone some footage! Although I really wouldn't mind if it was all Atul-Angie, but you know me...😉
My goodness, Anjali is SUCH an onion! LOL, pardon the adjective, I just can't think of anything better right now! An iceberg, maybe? Yes, that's better. She's such a complex character and yet the most endearing person!
The insecurities that she has are rooted so deep within her, but even deeper inside is the real Angie, the one who Atul is slowly but surely bringing to the surface...
Ah, I felt so happy for Atul when Angie didn't pull away from him despite realizing how close she was to him. She's finally found that shoulder to lean on, and she knows it, even if she can't fully comprehend the "why" yet.
And the irony of one-sided love that for now has to be called "friendship"...The understanding that Atul has of Anjali's deepest emotions ALWAYS gets to me...I just love the way you describe both Atul and Angie's feelings. And those unspoken conversations always manage to make me smile.
Poor Atul is all perplexed now, haina? First that outburst, and now Anjali is letting her guard down. I know I'd be confused if I were in his shoes! But it's so heartwarming to see that Angie has finally accepted Atul as a true friend who she can confide in. That's a start! Man, I was shocked too when Anjali suggested going over the list of invitees to Dr. Basket's party! Hmmm...Atul ka asar...?
And finally, the most interesting part, for me, at least. Notice the neutral word "interesting." This father-daughter relationship has been a source of confusion to me since I-don't-remember...And it's always been so much fun to read about Shanks-Angie in your FF, mainly because you capture their struggle so accurately and can get it across so well. Yeah, "fun" is a weird way to describe it, because I felt like shaking Shashank and telling him to "Wake up!" during this part. The way that Atul (aka you) put it - seeing Riddhima's joy has made him blind to Anjali's pain - is absolutely beautiful, and that's exactly how I would have described Shashank's relationship with his two daughters. What I just can't stand is that BOTH Shanks and Angie bottle up everything inside them, and that just makes the problem worse. Ufff, so frustrating.
Anyhow, all of that said and done...The battle of wits between father and daughter was amazing! I've always loved Mohnish-Sunaina scenes, and this one would've been just awesome, with Atul standing there, watching Shashank and Anjali, and understanding the situation perfectly. Simply mindblowing, yaar!
You know what, Anu? Every time I read this, I genuinely feel like I'm watching the "old-school" DMG that was reduced to dirt after December (possibly even earlier than that). It's one of the best things about SNT, the fact that each chapter is like an episode...And it's so addicting!
I've got to cut my comments short now, but I'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter, jaan! Amazing job, once again!

Oh I love this Anjali girl. Never thought I'd like her more than Ridzi 😊 So Anjali is finally dropping her defenses with Atul. The poor thing still cant believe it 😆
The scene with Shanky and Anjali was awesome. I am honestly starting to get pretty mad at Shashank.
I hope Anjali is able to overcome her resentment towards Ridzi though. Its sad that her father's attitude is driving a wedge between Anji and her sis.
Lovely update, waiting to see some more Shanky-Anji scenes.

Thank you😳....if you really liked Anjali more than Ridz, than that's a huge deal!😆 Don't really see much of that around😉😆....
Anger at Shanks is but expected...but he's not that bad also😉....And there will be more Shanky-Angie scenes in the near furture for sure😉

Anu, yaaaaaar!

What is this? An update with no PM? Haila, I just chanced upon Chapter 19, and thank god I did!
🤗🤗🤗Oh I'm so sorry yaar Borna...I thought I HAD pm'd you! Maybe I messed up while pm'ing...
This was a nice, even, chapter...I'm glad you're giving everyone some footage! Although I really wouldn't mind if it was all Atul-Angie, but you know me...😉 hehehe...yes I do know😆....I'm guessing this might feel a bit of a let down after the last chapter?😆 This mainly consisted of building things up for the surprise party...so....there had to be footage on other ppl....plus I enjoy writing Sappy and Armaan a lot as well😆
My goodness, Anjali is SUCH an onion! LOL, pardon the adjective, I just can't think of anything better right now! An iceberg, maybe? Yes, that's better. She's such a complex character and yet the most endearing person! Maybe she's an onion iceberg😆😆.....and yes, she is definitely very endearing.
The insecurities that she has are rooted so deep within her, but even deeper inside is the real Angie, the one who Atul is slowly but surely bringing to the surface...
Ah, I felt so happy for Atul when Angie didn't pull away from him despite realizing how close she was to him. She's finally found that shoulder to lean on, and she knows it, even if she can't fully comprehend the "why" yet.
And the irony of one-sided love that for now has to be called "friendship"...The understanding that Atul has of Anjali's deepest emotions ALWAYS gets to me...I just love the way you describe both Atul and Angie's feelings. And those unspoken conversations always manage to make me smile. Yeah, poor Atul...now he's stuck in the friendship zone😆😆....but apna Atul is a patient man...she will come around in good time😉
Poor Atul is all perplexed now, haina? First that outburst, and now Anjali is letting her guard down. Actually the outburst didn't really perplex him...he completely understood what she was going thru in that moment, but yes...the letting her guard down bit really has caught him off guard😆😆I know I'd be confused if I were in his shoes! But it's so heartwarming to see that Angie has finally accepted Atul as a true friend who she can confide in. That's a start! Man, I was shocked too when Anjali suggested going over the list of invitees to Dr. Basket's party! Hmmm...Atul ka asar...? Hmmmm?😆😆...Atul ka asar which mellows her down and brings out the deeply hidden aspects of her personality....she IS a sweet person deep down...it's just that no one ever gets to see it.
And finally, the most interesting part, for me, at least. Notice the neutral word "interesting." This father-daughter relationship has been a source of confusion to me since I-don't-remember...And it's always been so much fun to read about Shanks-Angie in your FF, mainly because you capture their struggle so accurately and can get it across so well. Yeah, "fun" is a weird way to describe it, because I felt like shaking Shashank and telling him to "Wake up!" during this part. The way that Atul (aka you) put it - seeing Riddhima's joy has made him blind to Anjali's pain - is absolutely beautiful, and that's exactly how I would have described Shashank's relationship with his two daughters. What I just can't stand is that BOTH Shanks and Angie bottle up everything inside them, and that just makes the problem worse. Ufff, so frustrating. Yep, frustrating it is....two strong minded, stubborn individuals who are not very good at expressing their emotions....problem toh hogi hi...and don't worry...'fun' is not a weird way to describe it at all....I have even more 'fun' writing it😆😆
Anyhow, all of that said and done...The battle of wits between father and daughter was amazing! I've always loved Mohnish-Sunaina scenes, and this one would've been just awesome, with Atul standing there, watching Shashank and Anjali, and understanding the situation perfectly. Simply mindblowing, yaar! Thanks so much yaar! Glad you liked that scene! I would've loved to see more Sunaina-Mohnish scenes as well!
You know what, Anu? Every time I read this, I genuinely feel like I'm watching the "old-school" DMG that was reduced to dirt after December (possibly even earlier than that). It's one of the best things about SNT, the fact that each chapter is like an episode...And it's so addicting! Aww...that's really sweet of you yaar🤗....I guess that's mainly because I AM exploring the old epis in a way...except going off on different tangents😉...and yeah, the show was reduced to dirt sometime in Dec only😆....Peak was October...never got as good again....except for the play epis in Nov.
I've got to cut my comments short now, but I'll be waiting patiently for the next chapter, jaan! Amazing job, once again! 🤗 for one of my most patient readers....Thanks for lovely comments yaar!
