Paarijat- A Tale of Desideratum Final & Epilogue 88, Feb 13, 2016 - Page 50

Its Magical!! 😃 Its.. something.. indescribable!! ☺️

Oh gawddd!! I never such wonderful and anguish story in ages .. NIsha ji.. Take a bow!!! 👏🤗 Hugs tightly!!!

I loved it..

I..er. I will come back with a proper response.. I cant make you understand how you made me feel...

Parijaat!! ❤️

What should I say? I'm left speechless.

Gosh! That was so passionate. *sighs* I'm reading a passionate hero after like ages. Female protagonist are portrayed as one in most of the story and male is possessive and protective but passionate? I really don't remember reading one. In ages. But Maan was one and that was like a breath of fresh air to me in MG story.

I even loved the misunderstanding btw MG cos it was done convincingly and it was nowhere typical or clich.

I loved the Paarijat story. I do remember picking them up for the puja as a kid but never knew the story behind it. So in a way it gave me some knowledge as well. *wink*

The characters. Ufff! What should I say about them. I loved how you justified both of their actions and reactions, feelings, the decisions they made. It all went in a flow.

The best part is that usually it takes time for any character to grow on me. I never fall for the leads so easily. But here even that was an exception. And all credit goes to you and your brilliant talent.

-Sanjana!

Okay, I'll come to the update later but, first of all, lemme just tell you how much I relate to the superstitious belief of keeping Gods under water during any major crisis or when my Nani used to take any sort of Mannat. Although that superstition is no more followed in our house ever since my Nani died. So you've kind of refreshed some memories of mine from my childhood. This even made me remember how she would collect rain water in a particular leaf(forgot the name) and tie it without letting a drop of it fall so that the heavy downpour stops during rainy season. Especially on Ganesh Visarjan day. Crazy days.

I laughed and at the same time tears gather in my eyes in this update. I've read many MG stories on this forum and one thing has always been common in both Maan and Geet. Geet was always the extrovert, bubbly, full of life and Maan the arrogant, egoist and introvert guy. Geet would talk one's ears off then Maan would be answering in monosyllabic. But for a good and welcoming change it was complete opposite here and I can't begin to tell you how happy and enjoyable that part of the update made me feel.

The way Maan understands Geet is incredible. It sounded both beautiful and scary to me. Beautiful for all obvious reasons and scary cos I find it unfair that someone knows a person in and out. Makes me wonder if Maan knew Geet so well and also knew that it was a misunderstanding on her part then why didn't he bother clearing it all to her? I mean, he doesn't seem one to hold a grudge and let ego come btw them both. The way he loves her, it screams madness.

He is so passionate and possessive about her. Even the thought of her photo being put on some matrimonial site didn't do down well with him. The thought of her writing love letters makes him go batshit crazy. He loves her insanely and it makes me annoyed that Geet could ever doubt his love. How blinded had she been? One heartbreaking revelation of her life that she is not the biological daughter of Handas and a split second decision of hers changed her world upside down in every way. Just one wrong moment and decision can change everything drastically.

His love is selfish. He even hates the idea of sharing her with anyone. Or her things being used by others or she using someone's. He wants to give her things that solely belongs to her. Like that saree. Or him calling Shefali, Shef just cos Paarijat to him means only his Geet. I really loved every single word of every dialogue that Maan uttered. Cos he rarely gets lines and he never has been this expressive in any story so far. That itself makes this story so unique. This Maan so different.

Geet is no less as well. All the things that Maan recounted about every little thing she did for him, screamed of her selfless love for him. She truly worshipped him and knew him like no one did. Hence it really frustrates me to know that she could actually misunderstand him over something so big. She pined and yearned for him when he only loved her. That just breaks my heart. I feel like reaching out to both of them to give a hug and also to ban their heads against each other. Lol.

Anyway, Maan is in his happy world now that he knows Geet wants to get engaged to him in real. The letter has also probably made him feel he is over the moon. The way he announced to the family that Geet is his fiance was very dramatic and heroic. *swoons*

In last comment I said characters don't grow on me so easily. But now I would like to rephrase that and say male characters don't grow on me so easily. But this Maan, he is making me his fan. You made me fall for MSK after god knows how many years. And I fell real hard.

-Sanjana!

You made me cry and I hate that. Lol. It was, ugh, I don't have the right word for it. Shit! There were days when I was so crazy about MG FFs. I would stay awake at nights and read them until I finished that one particular story I picked for the day. Though those days are gone now, you made me stay wide awake and read the chapters and comment on it. I do not feel like keeping it aside and going to bed. Glad it's Sunday tomorrow. I can sleep in late and wake up at whatever time I want to.

Anyway, I am head over heels in love with this Maan. Again, I can't help but say that this doesn't happen all the time. The least I feel for a male character these days is adoration. Nothing beyond that. But this Maan has made me gush about him and fangirl over him like a teenager. This guy's love is so divine. He has taken the meaning of passion and possessiveness to a whole new level. Like literally.

Shef's big mouth couldn't keep things in front of Geet, now that she has finally seen her Di in Maan's arms, I'm so glad that it was her who revealed all the secrets of Maan. Cos even after seeing everything from her own eyes and listening to Maan Geet was confused and still insecure. Shef helped her big time to let go of the misunderstanding she had been living in for 5 years now.

The way Maan loves Geet is something else. It's so intense, intimate and runs deep in him. It gives me goosebumps to even imagine that kind of love. Makes me wonder how the hell he lived without her for 5 bloody years. The entry he penned in his journal, said how he was beyond his self restraint. He wanted to burst open and pour his heart out to her but was forced to bury it inside. How painful and heartbreaking is that. My heart goes out to him. The timing of it all was such that he was forced to step back and live.

And Geet, not only did she came to know she is adopted but she also happened to lost her love cos of her wrong assumptions and also her best friend. Above all that, Shef refused to talk about Maan. Making her think that Maan and Shef are indeed in some relationship when what they share is nothing but a very endearing sibling sort of love. God! Poor girl was tortured and punished for one wrong move for a very long time. And now when everything is out in open, she is once again left blaming herself. Ugh!

But at the end I'm glad that this torture ends here and Maan decided to come back and fight for her again.

I really hope Geet accepts her parents wholeheartedly just like they did. Rano's monologue was heartbreaking. Geet has gone through so much and yet she never has let that be known to anyone. That trait sounds so frustrating and depressing. To keep everything bottled up in heart and show to the world that they are happy in their life.

Loving the story more and more with each update. It's brilliant.

-Sanjana!

Part 4

Both of them have gone through heartbreak and thoughts of unrequited love. Craved each other every moment of their life for 5 long years. Strangely, to even imagine that makes me want to wail.

This Maan is so outspoken. He doesn't shy away from accepting and expressing the deepest and darkest secrets of his life about her with her. He lays his heart open and soul bare completely. I've always read about men being unemotional. Of them having the trait of concealing everything in their heart for thousands of reason. But you've given a completely different side to male character. Every word that he spoke makes me shudder. Like literally. It was so passionate and so intense.

His confession. *sighs dreamily* It was so heartwarming. The things he did being in love with her. He is an absolute "deewana" and "aashiq". The way he made her realise her parents unconditional love towards her, was so beautiful. None could have done it better but him. He just knows what can give a rest to the havoc inside her head. He soothes everything.

What I loved the most was him taking equal blame for the misunderstanding. Just like she assumed he was in love with Shef cos of the word Paarijat, he assumed she would herself understand everything that is in his heart.

Geet's inability was described brilliantly in this part. How desperately she wanted to open up about everything but just didn't know how to. Yet she tried and talked about the day that changed everything for her in her world. Only for her Maan.

I can't wait to see how Maan makes her confess about her feelings. Since she is not good with words I wonder what ways Maan will apply to get her to open up to him.

You made me feel like if there is anyone who deserves to be with each other than THEY are. Get them married already. Lol

And you know you should totally write for passionate male characters. You are out of the world in that department. No kidding.

-Sanjana!

Part 5

I'm done. For good. Maan has got me, completely. At this update I'm overwhelmed seeing and literally feeling his love. Every time I think he won't and can't go beyond what he was in the previous update, he proves me wrong. It's as if there is no full stop to everything that he feels. How has Geet managed to stand, let alone change into a saree whilst he was out there speaking of his desires and wet dreams is beyond me. That alone felt like he has already claimed her years ago in his heart and mind. Seriously, I know I'm repeating this over and over again and you must be like 'stop giving me same words again and again' but it's like I can't get tired saying it again. This Maan has redefined love, passion, desire, devotion and desperation for me.

I'm going to cherish this character forever. You gave me something really out of the box and this is going to stay with me. I simply can't get over him and his characterization. It was outstanding and mind blowing. Literally sending me off on a dreamland.

I know Geet loves him just as passionately but I'm choosing to be biased here by saying that she is very lucky to have got that kind of love.

And Shef. She is a sweetheart. The room she made for MG was so touching and a very sweet gesture. MG are both so opposite to each other. So it must have been not so easy to decorate the room so perfectly that defines them and their very contrasting personality. And the letter also held simple words buy they meant the world to Geet. Made her feel secured again. The reassurance it held that Geet belongs to Handa was very thoughtful of Shef.

Even though Geet is not at all about words, she actions and gesture speak volumes. And as long as Maan understands her so brilliantly there is no need for words from her side.

Waiting and so looking forward to the next update already. Hope you update soon.

-Sanjana!
