Hello MT-Stranger!
I agree - so far, Bani is coming across as the more noble here, but Armana is hinting at some interesting twists, so I'll just twiddle my thumbs and wait

Ouch!
And now i feel really pressured...the weight of all these excpectations....
That's it!
I am now hibernating with Heyer and Austen for the next few days.
So long, folks.
Love,
Armana

Liar Liar Pants on Fire! There are only six Austens and you're down to your last Heyer. I'll tell you what happens in the end of 'The Reluctant Widow' if you don't behave.

But hey, we just want a masterpiece, so no pressure, alright?

Just read sec XI.....

Absolutely love the room upstairs. Its her private space yet with a diaphanous wall?!!!! Or am I reading too much into it.

Am in a rush,this in a pretty involved section,I think....will reread later and will be back with further comments.

Thanks 😊

armana...

Wow!!!...as usual words fail me dear to describe ur writing.

The 10 and 11th parts were very well written....now whats new in that ,all parts are never the same, u keep scaling new hieghts with each part.
U hav captured bani's feelings so well,this bold bani i really like her,she knos what she wants adn really like her attitude.
Thanks for potraying KD sensible,that women sounded proper in ur FF.
Fianlly when is the nxt part coming???

That was a good one (in fact a very good one ) armana. Your Bani reminds me of Tolstoy's Anna Kerenina. Though they are very different characters in a very different setting, they still chose love beyond everything. The society might scorn her for her affair, but I truly believe that she deserves the love she is seeking.
I had these wonderful discussions with my brother (his all time fav book is Anna Kerenina). I was surprised when he argued that Anna was epitome of love and womanhood. But, as a woman, I could never relate to Anna. All said, she still committed adultery, which thankfully, ur Bani has not. I am actually surprised that there was no child here.

Unlike my previous post, here, I'm falling in love with ur Bani. Just a matter of time before JW does too.
Brilliant !!!!

Armana,
I'm so lost on words here all i can say is Wow!!!!
that was awesome!!!
i really love it!!!
But poor Bani...i hope Jai will remember and tell Bani soon, especially in 3 days, that he loves her!!!
but that was really Hot, i see Jai is really getting attached to Bani...
please armana update soon

once again you outdid yourself by writing this masterpieces. i thaught the last one was best but than this one was better than last one.

i beleive in the same don't have any expectations from any one just love them and in return if you get your love back you will be very happy and if you want still you will have memory of your love.

i sometimes think this is as good as it gets but again it is you aramana it can always get better.

please continue soon.

breakfast... or JW... well DUH!! What kind of comparison is that?!! 🤪 😆

👏 as usual, a perfectly perfect part armana!! bani's "contemplation room" seems absolutely perfect, i need one too!! 😕

the thought of tarun with... well, anyone, is making me a little queasy 😉 but i can overlook that and easily ignore it to dream about JW instead!! 😳 😆

update soon dear, cannot wait until the penny drops for Bani's "bright foreigner"!

ps. i disagree with Shakespeare 😭

Armana

wonderful part,beautifully written.just fabalous.the description of bani's room was lovely.jai is being naughty,hope he tells her he loves her.loooking forward to the next part.cant wait. 😊

Hi Armana
Not sure if you read/care for the comments I make, but this part is defo one of my favourites. I love the way the J-B romance is developing and am so glad Bani has decided to give it a chance. Not an easy decision to make, but then there are no guarantees in love, are there?
And the quote by Germain de Stael answers all our questions on why he doesn't recognize her. Truly men are from mars….
Ps - Why would she be his mistress? 😕 He isn't married right, so they would be lovers and the question of being a "mistress" would be irrelevant!

Coming back to the update, Jai should worship the ground bani walks on! She continues to forgive him and love him open-heartedly, despite the pain he caused her.. guess the letter from her Mom helped tremendously...sensible, loving motherly words of wisdom...

👏 👏 👏

since i am a great supporter of reading, i am glad to hear that both you and your son are reading!
one of the greates joys is to go back to books one read much earlier and discover new depths in them.
for me the feeling is forever epitomised by Thornton Wilder's "The bridge across/of San Luis Ray" and Muriel Sparks's "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie."
Read both when i was too young to really understand them.
And then re-read them recently. And fell in love with them.

Armana
Given that TFS is based on KS and Bani is a dixit, i thought the story would be incomplete without a visit from a ghost and a 'parvachan' by KD!!!
