Well. rules are meant to be broken!😉

i dont really know what to make of this jai walia. 😕
Very soon you will!😉

he strikes me as very much a "Mr Darcy" type character, perhaps of the "once bitten twice shy" persuasion.
In the history of Romance, Mr. Darcy shall forever reign supreme, as an achetypal figure. Hun, I fell in love with Darcy when i was all of 13 and i am yet to recover!

sending out so many mixed signals - Bani beware!! 😆
😆😆😆

i have to say Ms. Dickens, this ranks as your best part yet in this ff!! 👏 the chemistry, the intensity, the unspoken conflict... i loved it!!
Oooohhh...thanks hun!😃🤗

update soon armana, and plase disclose this raaz which i think i have guessed.... but probably not!!! 😆 😉

Now, now, dear Ms. Brown, be kind and don't go around revealing narrative structures!!!

Love
Armana

Cords...I see you pulled the similarity between Jai and Darcy...I saw it too but refrained for mentioning it...

see thats why i made no further comment - that and the fact that i didnt want to look stupid when you proved me wrong!!! 😆

i've also been in love with Mr Darcy since i was a young teen, he made english lit classes addictive!! 😆 and although it rarely happens i loved the television series and recent film versions too, both the actors played him very well i thought.

i think that may be why i am in love JW too, he is very much like Mr Darcy. 😳

Hey Armana
My my my….am definitely seeing a new side to you m'dear...very sensuous and passionate 😳 😳 😳
Ahem...😳...well i did say this was a little more mature.....

So your JW is a hard bitten cynical kinda man…..wonder what or rather who in his past has made him this way? 😉
Wouldn't you just love to know that?😉

I'm really proud of the way Bani behaved….she knows she's hopelessly attracted to him, yet she senses his reserve and wisely gives him a wide berth, until that chance meeting on the balcony and then of course the dance....oooofff I can feel the sizzle and see the sparks right from here 😉
Hey if you remember the original Bani we all fell in love with? This is how i saw her character then......and the initial JB encounters? Man......they were awesome!
Can't wait to see what happens next…….loving every word of this ff hun!! 😃
Delighted to hear that m'dear!😃
Cheers
Sim

Intense, as usual...almost get goosebumps reading it..

Thanks!😊

At times, almost disliked Jai for his aloofness, but then, for a guy of his name, fame and moolah, not many options left...log jeene hi nahin dete bechare ko...
Exactly!!!
But I still feel hurt for Bani..good that she is getting under his skin!!!
Isn't she just? And don't worry, we should never feel sorry for anyone who gets under JW's skin!

Lovely updates... 👏 👏 👏
Thank you.😃

Armana, I have been following all ur fan fics with great interest and have enjoyed each and every one of them !
Thanks S, really glad to hear that!😊

Have been wanting to reply to this one for a long time but just missing it everytime...
Better late than never! welcome!!!

It made a wonderful read..i especially liked the way the narrative shifts between dialogues and moments of introspection ! Also Tarun and Jai knowing each other was a surprise. I am still intrigued by Jai and Bani's past !
I am glad you dn't find the shifts irritating. Hey, J& T were friends in KS before this silly new, BT track🤢! I reserve the right to use salient facts from ks, mayi's illogic be damned!😛
Prepare to be intrigued for a few parts as yet!

My favorite part in Part iv has to be the last line...Somehow the last lines just had me reading it again and again. speaks volumes of Jai's character. reminded me of another movie character (this was in tamil btw so not elaborating on the movie).
Characters intrigue me. Especially strong ones.

Hi Armana,

I am still reeling from the effect that this chapter has had on me...It's absolutely mindblowing and the love the way you have captured Jai's character, very cynical and practical yet a part of him which he has no control over forces him to contradict himself...

What more can I say than I want more.... 😊
Thank you Garf for the lovely compliment!😃
And you shall be getting more. Lots more.
