JC, loved this chapter too although your FF is moving at snail's pace and living up to the reputation of being the KSKBT of FFs . Would'nt say I was not disappointed at getting so little of Michi but your promise of giving us more soon keeps me going. I do promise that i'll give Michi but in doing more updates regularly. Now for the dissection.
Milsi-Asha tai - Loved it. Although I did not understand what you were trying to convey when I started reading the conversation between these two, I soon understood its significance. It showed just how much Milsi missed having a mother growing up as child that he found a perfect solution in asking her to marry his father to solve both their longings. It also showed why Asha tai took so much liberty with him in correcting him and advicing him when he was on the wrong. She may not have married his father but to her he was as much a son as her own if she had one. yes that was the point. She is quite observant quite...much more than anyone realizes. and realised that Michi did not have a normal husband-wife relationship. She may not have known their arrangement but she could make out that there was a distance between them. I hope Milsi takes her advice and devotes more time to his wife. ahem...😳 lets c what duffer does.
Prachi-Milsi-Ritwik - The day's events seems to have taken a toll on Ritwik since he seems terrified of Milsi. The fact that he was not protesting while Milsi tried to feed him (lest he ends up getting thrashed like his uncle) but at the same time did not want to be fed by him (since he was still uncomfortable with him after witnessing his anger) showed the boy's dilemma. Particularly like this sentence.
Ritwik looked like he would give an arm and a leg to be freed from the grip. lolz...yup he is not too fond of uncle Milind right now.
You could have broken the paragraph when the focus shifted to SM from Milsi's house. probably. I wasn't thinking.
PL-Alaap interaction was moving. As they say, a mother cannot hate her own son however wayward he may be. It also showed that however repentant one is, if the magnitude of one's sin is large, getting forgiveness for it is an arduous task. yes i had planned on making ALaap fully pay or atleaset one third of the pain and humiliation he caused. I think i need to forgive him myself before i can make him get his forgiveness...and i think i am about ready to forgive him.😃It is good that Alaap decided to leave because his presence may only aggravate things. He needs to give time for things to cool down before trying again. My feeling is that his next visit will be after the birth of Soumya's kid. hmm..maybe..Opti i do love your comments because unknowingly you end up giving me ideas...like how you have just managed to solve a dilemma for me.😃
Kavya-Anjali - So one more piece of puzzle has been put on the board. As I suspected Anjali and Anjum were twins. I think they were seperated at the time of the accident in which Anjali lost her parents. Although the Shahs may have been aware of the existence of her twin, they may not have told her about her inorder to spare her the pain. umm...she knew that she had a twin Maybe none of the junior Shahs are aware of Anjum. possible I am guessing the reason she wanted to return back earlier from Turkey was that she may have come to know about Anjum's relationship with her and may have been overwhelmed by the news. It would have been like losing a family member all over again. Like i said, she knew she had a twin it was the news of her death that put her in an emotional state. I think Kavya may have stumbled on her background when he investigated her after seeing her for the first time. I could answer all these questions but i'd rather that you read about it in the updates.😃
Suki-Milsi - Prachi - I think Suki has gone into massive depression after the shock awakening from her unresponsive state. yes she has...massive depression. All the repressed feelings of years seem to have resurfaced again all of a sudden leaving her feeling exhausted. Her continued detachment from the world around her shows she is shuting the present out as she is desperately trying to come to cope with her past. yes. Mentioning Ritwik's name must have reminded her of her own actions which contributed to this state, for I think deep down there is a strong sense of guilt for her mistake and error of judgement which had led to the loss of her baba. oh Opti ur so good😭 Milsi's worry after the visit to the doctor shows that he may have been told about Suki's mental state. yup Why did he not tell Prachi and Asha tai about it? i didn't say that he din't tell them. But i didn't include the part where he might have. Was he not aware that Suki could be a danger to herself if left alone? he was well aware...and i think he told Asha tai and possibly Prachi too...otherwise Prachi would not have the light bulb go off in her head as soon as she heard that Suki told all the servants to leave and Asha tai would not be alarmed just because Suki had locked herself in the kitchen.
Prachi-Suki-Asha tai - This section was the high point of the chapter considering that it ended on a suspense. Prachi's anticipation of Suki's actions and her presence of mind I guess may ultimately save Suki. Hope this incident draws Michi closer. Most likely.
Now, JC stick to your promise and move your story fast. I can see how impatient you get with Rima, but dear girl your story is not progressing any faster, if anything it is even slower than hers. lolz...no its not...(ok i am in denial) but promise it'll move faster once Sunday arrives. You have been excused because of your exams but once you are through I will be on your throat if you dont quicken the pace of your story! lov you darling. Thanx for the comments and i won't keep you guys waiting now.🤗
