I woke up @6:40 am to check out if there was an update... opened the forum with one eye closed and one open 🤣..and when I realised that yea..update wsas done... read it !! God..

Finally this late lateef updated 😆

MY GAWD! This time I am completely speechless di...

Speechless mein kitna type kar diyaa Nams 😆 But love you so much 🤗

I just fell in love with this update. My god. ❤️

How did you write that... god.. my heart was beating so fast at the end of the chapter. happily satisfied wala beating! ❤️

🥺 But you said it's not the corridor beating kind *runs off to a corner to cry*

My morning couldnt have started more beautifully than this! This was beautiful di...

*still sulking*

~ Loved the self talk of Jo before she entered in the bash. Loved the way how she was self confident upon her new found attire, the modern clothing.

Hee hee... obviously after everything that she went through her family are backing her now... her having a boyfriend, her western attire.. all these changes are new for her... and wearing something like that... in a party for the first time... must have made her feel really dhak dhak - plus the other issues!

~ Abdul is hilarious 😆 ...And god! Pindrop silence as handsomely brusque voice came! Gawd... Di ur words ... No wonder, monsters were dancing in Jo's belly! Loved it.

~ Jalal's new smart haircut, new expensive shirt, stonewashed grey jeans.. gawd.. i am dying. I am dying.

☺️ Abhi bhi dyin?

~ Loved how Jalal so boldly took Jo off guard by his 1 year 10 months ago' line. ❤️

😳

~ Jodha's western attire... so LOVED it! No wonder Jalal was pleasantly surprised.

~ Aww.. loved Jo's gift. And She's so cute and innocent. But I am glad Jalal so softly told her that it was her he was referring to as his bundle of surprise ❤️

She is his bundle of surprise 🤗

~ Woow.. The patio arrangement was so dreamy And god.. Jalal's liners make me go all crazy. ❤️ And Jo is such a darling. She asked him to enjoy with his friends. 🤗

Yeah.. she knows her needs his 'ALONE' time too na..

~ The whole fiasco wrt Jo, Harish and whatever was the name of third one, 😡 was well fought by Jo. She's my one strong girl...a fighter. No where did she fumble or stumble once (confidence wise) and countered back the two scoundrels BOLDLY.

Jo ->

I love the effort she puts in making efforts. (I hope that line made sense) I just love love love her self confidence, her self respect ...which are slowly and gradually resurfacing! ❤️ Loved how she dropped the water in their pants. Lol.. bichaaro ka susu nikal gaya 🤣

😆

~ but.. the last ridiculed comment by the two morons did hurt her. Ouch!

~ The way Jalal punished the two morons.. and humiliated him.. god! Cant be more proud of him. ❤️

Yes... 😛

Coming to Ja-Jo in privacy! ❤️

This has to be the best I have read ! Or I dont know.. I mean the whole story has been beautiful and you never cease to surprise us all the more..

😳 Awww

The Jo-Ja talk was very much necessary.

The outpour by Jo was definitely heart wrenching. She must definitely be feeling all this from long while and today, all the bottled up agony made its way out.

Yes undoubtedly ... she must be feeling agony when she sees Ja na... she must feel like she's holding him down...

And Jalal.. god! What do I say about him. I am now out of words for this gentleman.

🤗

Loved how he countered back Jo when she putforth her low points..and how Jalal rendered her speechless wrt the same points she said. Loved how he made her believe in herself once again. ❤️

Jo is slowly but evidently recovering and Jalal is so positive about it. And that the fact that his girl is trying so much for him makes him love her all the more ❤️

Yes Jodha is slowly recovering... but she needs this bolster of Jalal to tell her that she's doing well... most in her place would just fall into depression... but she's a strong girl and she has a strong guy with an excellent family to back her... so she has bounced back...

~ God this Jalal... I want him re. Desperately. Look at his antics to make his girl smile and comfortable. Didnt check Shantamma's and Balaji's singing when they hired them 🤣 and.. his mimciry.

You loved the mimicry na... 😆 must have reminded you of chapter 12 ... thought of tha while writing it..

He'd get her a car and driver! God this guy! He's one freaking hell of a gentleman!

Ahem... 😉

~ I love how Jo finds solace in his warm hug. God.. i cant stop myself from falling in love with these two again n again. I love how Ja is so positive and optimistic about his girlfriend..and he boosts her every now n then! ❤️

~ I was moved by the story.

This is one of the most beautiful excerpts of NJAPA I've ever read

'Forget all this... I have a very touching story that keeps me positive. Once, I had to witness a girl... left for near-dead in a killer's house... she had no pulse... she was cold... and I could do nothing to save her... I had no hope that she would be rescued in time... when I woke up three days later, she was barely alive...' he paused for a short recess. However chirpy his attitude, this 'touching story' always managed to lug at his heart's strings. So much so that he had to attempt every trick in the book to keep his voice from cracking. Once sure he was fine, he concluded his narration 'She was barely alive... and at that point, I would have settled for something of her... ANYTHING of her... THAT is why I'm so grateful today!'

She gazed on. Speechless. Time seemed to stand still as she did so. What a beautiful memoir had he just shared! Now that he'd put it that way, how inspiring did their journey sound? Inspiring enough to nurse her aching soul to health. Inspiring enough to nourish her sombre spirits to normalcy

I.. I am immensely moved. Loved this. ❤️

Awww thanks for bringing this up... 🤗 am glad you loved it... in a semi light-hearted chapter this was one paragraph that possibly reminded readers of what they've been through

~ Hehe.. Jo is such a cute darling. Loved how she innocently complained about her boyfrnd not calling her sexy or diva off late. And Jalal's one liner reply was genuine and heart touching. And she understood it with a smile. What love man! ❤️

😳 Awww

~ Then came the thoughts of Jalal..of how he missed the intimacy but he obviously understood that it wasnt going to be easy at all for her to understand by herself. But just loved the fact that he shared this with her.

Yeah...good for them that they talked about it...

Just as the way Jo had shared her pains and difficulties and Ja had removed them all with his love and care, same way Jalal had such desires too..and this time, our Jo understood what he was going thru and relieved him ... she fulfilled his desires and without any compulsion ... on her own..with her own consent and understanding. That is what I loved the most ❤️

You've described exactly what happened!

I loved the tutor student thingy 😆 ❤️ and the passionate rendezvous that followed later on rendered me speechless.☺️ Their kiss, wild kiss.. the hugs.. the unbuttoning of Ja's button (ja's teasing and Jo going red 😆 ) .. then Jo's flip up and Ja teasing her with Jeans' unbuttoning.. Ja holding Jo's bare waist.. and then, caressing her nude back... gaawwddd! I loved all the details you added. My heart is still beating so fast... I loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. This was a beautiful bliss to read. This was pure and intense. ☺️ I am going to re-read it so many times.

You listed all the points check check check 😆 awww but I loved it...this reply was from your heart and I could feel it

You are a MASTER WRITER di. ⭐️ 🤗 I am so blessed and lucky to have you as a friend. And more than a friend. ❤️

love you tooo 🤗

And about ending of the story..I am not saying anything. I just cant. Unable to say anything.

Thanks Rash ☺️

Wow Mr.shraddha is lucky to have such a talented wife like you,

Hee hee... I don't know about that! have to ask him... as far as he's concerned the only talents that would matter to him are the ones in the kitchen 😆

Will write my comment here soon.This is my first reaction after reading for the first time and I am going to read again and again.I am so "Loving it ".

Managed to read it again 😳

Wow! Lashy...

Hey Rachna... how have you been 🤗

This was worth waiting for... And glad that Jalal's thirst was quenched

When you mentioned this after the last part... I had a smile on my face... wanting to see how you'd react after reading this one!

and the re-learning part was a master stroke...

Awww yes in a way she has to relearn everything... romance would have to be one of it too - much as we're hardwired to read/think/assume of romance as spontaneous it is highly emotionally dependant aspect, na? We need to be in the right state of mind to want to feel it! And who better than Jalal to take her there...

Jo's undying spirit and the way Jalal helped her out of the emotional ditch was very moving.. Great going...

Thanks dear 😳

Will read again and comment more later... I had to read it in moving car and I generally get nauseous reading while in motion but this I cudnt stop myself :)

Hope you're ok now 😳

Hi lashy di 😊, i know i m tooo late in commenting on Part 59 but kya karein i was stuck with high fever and couldnt even access to pc ... And then with work loads , Sigh !!! 😭😭

So a biggg sorrry for that 1st !!!!😭😭

Now coming to PART 59 , wat to say di ... I could see one and only JALAL aur koi nahi !!! I have read that

" He who has faith has all " - said by Ramakrishna , this quote is always close to my heart as it has always helped me to uplift my mood when i literally feel down ... And here i see JALAL as a living epitome of this quote , who despite all the shortcomings( or better to say it as life or death situations ) stood really strong and proved he is unique and A GEM of mankind !!! 👍🏼

JALAL-The FAVOURITE BETA :

The Meeting of both Singh and Mohammed family was indeed a surprise one and i couldnt control my laughter at the very 1st phrase , where Jalal found it hard to cope with the change of environment and yet maintain his stance elegant and dignified!!!😳😃

And ofc it reminded me of some golden moments of friends gang visiting Jo's house first and the subsequent hungama that followed ...

" And adding to the whole 'funny' equation was the fact that he'd become the unannounced centre-of-attention in a living room packed with hordes of members. "

"'You've hardly eaten the ghatte ki sabji. And try our methi-waali mirch with rice too...' a proud bade bhaiyya suggested 'That's our ghar ki speciality...'

'Oh... n... no... thank you!' he swiftly refused with a graceful smile -after helping himself to a refreshing sip of the chilled coca cola Vishal had just brought from a Kirana store nearby."

This line particularly had a large smile on my face😃 , because here i remembered bhabhi's bhavishyavani of chat between Jalal and badebhaiyya after that whole vishal fiasco😉😆 ...Then the subsequent chats between the ladies was just cute and i could imagine our serial actors with each and every line of their conversation ... So was Jalal's care of his Taaya👏👏 ( this remembered me of my close relative who has sugar , but when gathered in any function of sorts would totally forget his sugar levels lol😆😆 !! )

JALAL- A ARDENT LOVER and COMPANION :

Wat i can say di , we all know that Jalal and Jodha are so adorable as couple and love each other so much😛 ...But here i could only see the companion of whole life who actually had total care of Jo's each and every emotions and sentiments👏👏, Usually we ought to see People who claim to love each other deeply but would laugh it off when comes to other's personal sentiments( courtesy my college friends🤔🤓 )

But di , MY JALAL ( I suppose JO and U dont mind me calling like this 😉😃😆) who cares for everything just everything ... Be it her apprehensions , her choti choti sentiments and her personal moodswings👏👏👏 ... When Singhs completed want they wanted to convey to Mohammeds , i was pleasantly surprised by that and was eager to know Jalal's decision but with his each and every word reality struck me !!! 😕

" 'Dekhiye... we've been here for over an hour now... yet, all along... Jodha has been unable to join us because of her headaches... she wasn't even able to sit up when ammi and taaya had been in to pay her a visit...she has no idea what we're discussing about... "

" aapke ghar ke taur tareeke... hamaare ghar ke taur tareeke... she's only been discharged last week... learning to use the crutch... hasn't even stepped out of the house yet... kabhi kabhi confidence kho deti hai... how would she cope with these additional expectations, then? "

"'Aur aapko pataa hoga... how much she loves her rituals, customs and traditions... why deprive her of all that... why rush through something that's meant to be an enjoyable occasion for us, JUST for the sake of society... "

Well I think u remember it di , with the teaser being released i asked u whether there was engagement done out of curiosity and u maintained the suspense 😳😃!!! But i was sure that this part would give something , that would be REAL which fits REALITY👏👏!!!

And i was not wrong , both jalal and u made it clear that u people always believe in practical reasons rather Fantasies...👏👏

JALAL- The JAMAI RAJA :

I couldnt resist myself giving this title to MY JALAL😃😉 , as i think it suits him the most than anyone else !!! See the Perfect and most Plausible reason he gave for his refusal of the engagement👏👏...

"'Most importantly, I am only 25... settling down... abhi bhi, I'm dependant on my uncle for guidance and support... I want to be self-reliant before I get married ... so I can support a bride who would be dependent on me... it's not a question of money... only one of principles... hope you understand!"

I have never ever seen such a confidence in any person around my relative or even friends circle👍🏼 , And to say the truth i was awestruck with this very line and took some break to learn the next phrases !!! Well i didnt know that further i could all the shocks of that evening ... 🤔😲

" It... it might be the first time when a girl's family must feel proud to hear their proposal being turned down by a ladka... but we admire you for taking this stand...'

'Thank you...' he smiled at them 'And when we both are ready for marriage, trust me you'll be the first to know!'

Now, THAT promise did manage to uplift everyone's spirits. Noticeably" - God i loved this line so mucchhh ❤️👍🏼and it is completely true in JALAL's case !!! ANd then his 'DAte ka Permission " man i so loved this typical teda JALAL who is perfect oppurtunist to turn any situations to his favour❤️ ...

JALAL-THe BOYFRIEND :

HAyayyy , Part 2 made me sit in the edge of my seat😛😃 ...As the most awaited date part was their and i must say i loved loved loved loved loved loved it the mossst for variety of reasons !!!! ❤️

1) Eventhough he was struck with office chores , he has made it sure that their " FIRST DATE" should be special and has selected a route taken into condition of Jo's Physical State 👏👏

2) His understanding to give Jo her space , to do with her own actions despite her trembling fingers so as to make her confident that she can cope up with her own works👏 !!! And when found it was difficult for her to do by herself , his help to switch it off , Ufff ... ☺️

3)"'Congrajulationsss Mr. Muhammed, MBA! For youuur degree...'

An energized grin surfaced on his lips 'Thanks Jo! We did it!'

As she gleamed with pride thereon, her features came alive with a fresh form of lustre" - I must say this di , I Just shouted loud at this line😆😆 but thank god there was noone at home that time😉 ... His Gesture to say that we did it 'TOGETHER' 🤗...

4)And Some Glimpses of Typical Jo's traits and his happiness on this fact , made me pleased and contented as i enjoyed it to the core😛😃

5)"the beauty of her nature - to strive to sustain a smile despite all those physical changes.

God! She was attractive - by virtue. He could sense it. Right then. Right there. He was developing a fresh crush on her! The boyfriend in him was thirsting to ditch-it-all and delve in with a bold move." - These lines made me feel for JALAL, the boyfriend who was now so desperate to be close with his love , after so much of struggles in Past months❤️ !!!

JALAL-THe HUMAN :

Oh DI , As i said u before this was the major shock that struck me and i was literally in short of words to say something😕 !!!

Well the teaser part made me fly high in skies , hopping around on cloud nine as finally , we including both JAJO got sometime to feel their love for each other after a long time !!! But di , after reading that full part i did feel disappointed😭😭 not that there was no physical intimacy as expected , but for missing tuning between our couples becoz after all they are MODERN DAY EPIC LOVERS AND TRUE SOULMATES !!! 😭😭😭

"Based on the factor that this was supposed to be their 'first date' after six months. And most importantly, based on an assumption that she'd be in tune with how they used to be as a couple!

Well, it turned out he was assuming wrongly."

" Still, he couldn't help feeling disappointed! And feeling like an idiot too! Ouch Ouch!"

"HIS Jo being unable to read the messages in his eyes."- My heart felt strange pangs for JALAL 💔🥺as i could feel how terrible he could have felt with his fate and mainly that stalker , who was responsible for this of their life 😡😡😡 !!!

"'I didn't gasp because I was in pain...I gasped because...' he stopped. Well, how was he supposed to explain? Whip out his mobile and show her the dictionary meanings of 'passion' and 'urges'? "- My POOR BOY😭😭😭!!!

"It was because the evening had turned out to become a stark reminder of so many bigger issues.

Of how his Jodha was with him, but there was still a big part of her amiss.

True, he had no doubts about their love for each other. True, he felt guilty for delving on the past. But he was missing his old Jo today. Especially since the date had unfortunately hinted at how much ONE aspect of their relationship had changed. Well, he was only human. " - GOd , this was the point that i couldnt help but moan for their misery all over again 🥺!!! Well we have praised him a lot for his patience ,self-confidence ,Strong personality , Smartness and Wise actions ... but everyone( or atleast me) forgot that he is a human too and his bound to feel sad and disappointed with this stage of life😭, where he cant be totally happy or totally sad but inbetween💔🥺 !!!

"'Just buck up Jalal...' he told himself, after wallowing in dilemmas for a spell. After all, even with these small hiccups his life was blessed - with a MAJOR comforting aspect. Passionate or not, he was infinitely grateful that his Ms. Singh - his love - was with him. Alive. Here. Today. End of story 'Maybe today's just an off-day! You'll be fine tomorrow..."

"Like an excited twelve year old who'd unexpectedly received the best gift of his life.

The events might have made her lose confidence in her own self. But somehow she never gave up on him! It reminded him of the one trait about her - in fact, the first trait about her that he'd fallen for. This never-give-up attitude. And nothing had been able to take away THIS quality from Miss Jodha Singh." -Di , with this i just rembered this song 😊😊!!!

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUu0KAcTJpU" - This song from film ' MAyakam Enna - Pirai Thedum iraviley ' is always close to my heart as it portrays how Protagonist's wife despite his mental absurdities be a strong companion throughout his odds and help him accomplish his dream👏👏 ... And i m certain , that this song will fit into this point of story has well , despite its role reversal where our JO is there but HE misses her !!! Yet neither our JO nor Our JALAL has left that fighting spirit and their ' never-give up' attitude !!! Just as the photo resurrected his dull spirit , i too was resurrected with my own confidence and joy that whatever testing situtations life give us, it's our fighting attitude that makes our destiny 😳... So thanks a lot for reminding me all over again di 👍🏼!!!

Sigh !!! I know that i have blabbered a lot and di please dont mind if i had done mistakes with clauses and sentence formation but i had to do it with my limited time yet have to infer what i thought of part 59 😕... The icing of the cake was the ADD UP 👏, atleat for me this part was fully based on Jalal but this add up showcased specially Jo's feelings for me and how despite her physical shortcomings she was trying hard to decipher the fact that had made him disappointed which was clearly visible for her even in this state 👏👏... And yet thought this way "'Fine... instead of battling to understand what I obviously can't, let me concentrate on an easier way out... what CAN I do that'll make him happy? Think Jo think...' "👏👏

" And how right was she! Because this adorable decision of hers was going to work like magic! After all, a timely five minute earnest gesture was capable of expressing more than a five thousand words of love, wasn't it?" - This truth actually touched my heart di 👏👍🏼

Everytime I remember saying this to you , but i would not feel saying it again and again that i love u and NJAPA a lot ❤️ So i need Passionate SR again 😉☺️ , ANd i will also request u to make the remaining chapters with more length and update soonish ... 😳😃

Love U DI 🤗🤗
