Dear Lashy, another beautiful set of updates.

Hi Vani.. thanks so much for dropping in dear.. 🤗

How do you do this every time? I am in awe of your talent and emotions. Not one beat missing, not one characterization out of order. Both of them doing exactly what they were supposed to do at a situation. Amazing Lashy.

☺️

I loved both the updates. First one showing Jodha's come back. In spirit she is back fully. We can see old Jodha almost there.

Yes dear.. she just needed this jolt to show her she's in there! Sometimes the bad things that happen happen for a good reason too..

I liked the way she handled those insensitive jerks. I even liked that you created that situation where those jerks were commenting on her. It's so near to reality. We see such jerks who get enjoyment out of others misery.

Yeah bullies 🤢

But I liked that Jo did not try to run away from them. I liked that she faced them. The last comment was too much for her, but till then she took everything in her stride.

Yes.. hats off to her! 👏

The second part was out of the world. They needed this. They had to talk about their problems, insecurities, difficulties they faced with each other. I loved the conversations. I liked how you linked the date incidence here. I also liked the way you depicted Jo's inability to enjoy physical pleasure (Loved the phrase "emotionally aroused"). It was all very real.

Thanks for understanding dear.. 😳 and so glad you enjoyed reading it too...

I feel it's true with lots of women (even if they did not go through the emotional and physical trauma that Jodha went through). That is how men and women are made of. Women mostly love the feeling of being loved and cherished more than the physical pleasure and they love the sense of being able to give pleasure to their man more than their own pleasure.

Obviously like men, diff women do have different needs/wants etc... Jodha was a passionate woman herself (but repressed passions due to traditional upbringing) and with jalal she discovered and embraced her passionate side. Come this trauma, it's taken a dip like how it does for a woman after childbirth or for men during financial/work depression etc!

It should return to normalcy once things are better... but as you said for women it's the emotional first then the physical... for men (in love) it's physical and emotional in equal measures, I guess!😳

Thank you Lashy for giving such good updates. Will be waiting for the next one (Will that be the last one? 😭)

Epilogue ke baad, I will try NJAPA OSes dear.. 😳 when I get the time..

I've left a note on page 1 about the ending, do read it if time permits dear..

Lashy, excuse my pre occupation with self but these chapters sound like Lashy's revenge on Chittz - The Return of the Buttons!

Loool chittz you can't blame me for that

College students, Passionate and affair in the title, Handsome rich guy, fiery heroine.. a few buttons and zips will have to be part of the story telling 😆 !

It's good that Jalal sees that Jodha still has the determination, the independence , the ego, Else things could become dicey for him.

She has had many to boost and back her and Jalal has been there all through... he needed a short boost somewhere along the way! Her pronouncing Jalal... her photo gift.. her surprise arrival in jeans.. these were small things that gave HIM that boost! 😳

For now, Jodha feels she has to relearn her romancing 'skills' to in some way be the validation he wants physically.

Yeah... as in while physical gestures of love are not NECESSARY in a couple's life - they are they difference between walking through a platonic relationship... and breezing alive through every moment of it! It doesn't define a couple.. but it is an integral part of them too...

One never tends to notice it when it is there.. but when it goes amiss its generally the sign of other underlying issues!

I would say Jalal's need for an earnest kiss, a close hug, being able to put his arm around her without hesitation, being able to gaze into her eyes and she understanding his feelings - would be akin to Jodha's need for his smiles, bouquets, compliments, chatter, long drives and the presence of his supporting hand.

Both just spell 'I love you' in different ways...

But already she can remember how she used to be ticklish and now isn't. How she used to have the right responses and now can't feel them. Is she going to fake stuff for his sake. Is he going to detect her faking.

Oh chitzzz she didn't even fake it now... she wasn't doing something she wasn't comfortable with or acting it up. she was enjoying it with him but in HER OWN way.. a way, that wasn't like before but a way that was still just as good.. (they both even subtly discussed hormones here so I guess they're matured enough to understand lol)

The BEFORE feelings will come back too.. slowly...

I think of it maybe like a lady's body needs good time after a childbirth to adjust to normalcy (physically/emotionally and hormonally). And the man supports her through it - waits. When she recognizes his support and loves her man then, she is emotionally loving the idea of expressing love towards the father of her child even if her body doesn't feel like before. Of course, a few months/year we all do bounce back to our old selves

It is not faking na... just a different tangent.. that's all.. 😳

Lol... wonder if I was making sense.. 😕

There's still a ways to go in regaining that old physical rapport. I suppose it will end up being all much better than before too. Were you trying to say that now her emotional enjoyment is very switched on Lashy?

Could be na... they were always iin tune... but now they have been through trauma, life-death, changes and emerged through it nearly unscathed... if they had respect for each other then, they must have so much more respect for each other now...

Lovers then.. soulmates now... so yes i guess emotional enjoyment on a power surge 😆

Very womanly and now womanly plus plus. So all good. This department of their relationship is well on track. Very complimentary approaches. Instincts all functioning. There shouldn't be a glitch here any time soon.

loool you've checked all boxes? 😆

So what next writer-e-khaas. The epilogue is now begging to be written. I'll manage to find revenge on Chittz there as well but hey, it's all fun.

You guessed? 😆

Just don't leave it hanging here. 😡 else...you won't like it when I start looking severe.

Loool read my note on page 1 dear .. and let me know what you think 🤗 thankooo

Magal describing the little peaks and valleys of Jalal-Jodha's re-dsicoveries on the road to a collective recovery of NJAPA is very compelling Lashy. I should have waited for her take 10 and then done a salute to Lashy. As it turned out, I did my Buttons Mode take on the physical re awakening.

But here Magal, you have one main theme - Lost in Love. Noticed nothing except each other.

The other point was your italicized - why and how he's still with a clown - sore point that Jalal would not have known if not for those two clowns. Jodha might inadvertently have hinted at it ...Jalal may have picked up on something. But this way, out in the open with ugly overtones there was no doubt and Jalal could do something about it too. So well thought out and written Lashy and well noted Magal.
