Soon a day came when he met one of those hot damsels...

He promised to leave his puffing-days behind him...

And the rest was history

And then

And now they're enjoying life in their own little paradise with plenty of lil mushrooms hanging about...

Oh my God.. first two times I read this, I didn't understand what you meant!

Now I did!

For all the 'wait and watch' and 'time will tell' suspense that I do like to pull, let me tell you three things I generally don't like writing about...

1) A tragic ending after spending hundreds of thousands of words building up two characters. Real life has enough tragedy in it anyway. I write for escapism.

2) Two characters undergoing so many tests and whatnot - building up all of that passion - only for the sheen of what was meant to be sensuous exuberance-filled days to be slyly taken away by the arrival of little ones!

3) Leaps of any kind

In real life, I adore babies like nothing else... but in romantic stories (both books and serials), they do take away the focus from the couple and everything from 'Hmmm' and 'My love' suddenly becomes about 'Awww' 'How sweet' 'Did he sleep?' 'Did she wake up?'

No... our realities (especially mine) have/has enough of that... 😆 HBAS will be about AMK Heera till the end!

1) A tragic ending after spending hundreds of thousands of words building up two characters. Real life has enough tragedy in it anyway. I write for escapism.

2) Two characters undergoing so many tests and whatnot - building up all of that passion step by step- only for the sheen of what was meant to be sensuous exuberance-filled days to be slyly taken away by the arrival of their cute little ones!😉 And all they had to do, was be born!

3) Leaps of any kind

In real life, I adore babies like nothing else... but in romantic stories (both books and serials), I personally find that they do take away the focus from the main couple...

And soon everything goes from 'Hmmm' and 'My love' to 'Awww' 'How sweet' 'Did he sleep?' 'Did she wake up?'

[Besides, our realities (especially mine) have/has enough of that... 😆]

HBAS will be about AMK Heera till the end! 😳

ETA - Of course this is not for/about love stories/serials revolving around a child in the first place. That's a different ballgame altogether - Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, for instance. 😊

Imagine how romantic we are!! We are creating love stories of mushrooms, getting them married and carrying on their progeny without any family control!?? 🤣 Can you imagine telling anyone that we wrote a love story and poems on mushrooms? 🤣 No wonder I pine to be here 24/7.

>>> So you liked my mini-OS ☺️ the hot damsel brought the bad puffing boy in line...😎 and got him to settle down... the story of many-a-bad boy, isn't it?🤣

This is superb!! This is our height of being goofy and roguish!! 🤣

Loved it Author Sahiba! Now we can write stories about their pota-poti! 🤣

Lashy you are braver then compared to me!! I freak out if I see a spider in my house or anywhere else. And in fact, any bugs or crawling creature throws me off! Thankfully I don't see cockroaches here and not the flying type. But I remember them back home and how I made the lovely maids get rid of them or my poor dad used to take them out for me! 😆

Heights is okay with me, as long as I don't need to look down too much but I have motion sickness! Not in my life will I get on those roller coasters! 🤔

I remember I took the flight over Grand Canyon in those small Cessna planes and it was so horrible when it was caught in the air pockets. It felt like dropping straight down and crashing!! The moment I got my foot on solid ground I ran to the restroom and threw up! Felt like kissing the ground on which I was standing! 😆

In Hawaii went to see whale watching in the boat, it was off the coast of Kaui and believe me I sat there the whole time with my eyes closed!! The ocean was so choppy and the boat like a toy kept going up and down and it felt my insides are also being whirled like the washing machine! Thankfully I took Dramamine before I boarded the boat!! Gosh, hardly I could appreciate anything!

Or in windy roads with steep heights, I get car sickness!! Kya batayoon ek namoona hoon main! 😆
