Alright...here we gooooooooooo!!!!!
First of all let me inform you that I am absolutely in love with Muskaan and adore all of her scenes...even more than Premeer these days, I look forward to her scenes.
So naturally, when I saw that you were writing a SS that focuses on her, I more or less jumped for joy. It was my excitement for Chahat coupled with my excitement over another masterpiece from you. Double whammy? I think so! =)
Getting to the story - let me just say that it was...predictable. I mean, anyone could have guessed the direction in which the plot would flow...but the beauty of it was your words...the way in which you wrote it - of course.
I was also pleased to see that this is the first story of yours (that I have read - dunno if you've written more SSes...) that featured the same Prem-Heer that we see in the show. You handled them wonderfully - keeping every nuance of the character in tact...incredible.
Ok...I"ll stop blabbering and comment now...
Part 1:
I LOVED how Heer was imagining Prem picking Chahat up from school....π...I can imagine it tooo.....what a beautiful scene...he would indeed, as Heer thought, make a wonderful father. π
What can I say about the light-hearted banter between Chahat-Heer...its so very characteristing, and so entertaining....she really is Heer's daughter, isn't she? Dono ek se badh kar ek hai... I just love Chahat...hahahaha loved her - its not my fault that the Ice-Cream man is standing there....and how she used Heer's lines on her about khali pet ice cream nahi khani chahiye...that was very very well written. Loved it.
Heer's panick over losing her daughter was wonderfully written too...I love how independent she was shown to be in the beginning when she automatically decided she didn't have 2 crores and no where to get it...shows how over the years, she's really distanced herself in every other way from Prem and the Junejas...how she doesn't even identfy herself as part of their family anymore...I like how you were able to shine light on that. Even after the guy mentioned going to Prem for the money, she hesitated a little...I liked that. But in the end, of course, I would want nothing more than for her to go to Prem so that they could go get their daughter back together.
Part 2:
The part where she hesitates to claim herself as Prem's wife...that was too painful...how hard it must be for her - understandably. She hadn't said the words in 6 years...and after all that time, she was being all but forced to spit them out. I can't imagine it would be easy after building a wall of defenses for six years...its funny how this one incident will break all of Heer's barriers that she's worked so hard for so long to build.
What can I say about Preet? Lakshman the great...I will forever be in awe of his loyalty to his Heer Bhabhi and...yes, Prem Bhaia too - despite everything.
When he finds out about Chahat, you could tell that he was almost disgusted with Prem for leaving both of them this time while the 1st time it was just Heer...I am glad in your story, Heer tells him that she was the one that told Prem to leave...I am glad that it was her words that restored a bit of Preet's respect for his brother.
Notice how at this time in the story, the brother's weren't even speaking to one another (of course, I'm sure you noticed) and as soon as one is in trouble - in this case someone they love...they forget all else and run to their Prem bhaia...thats what I love about these guys...that no matter what, at the end of the day, their love and loyalty ...their bond stants supreme.
I love how Preet took things into his hands while Prem couldn't be there...how he handled everything just the way Prem would do...he really is Prem's parchaii in a whay, isn't he? π³
I just have to take a minute to say again how much I LOVE Preet-Heer's relationship...the amount of respect he harbors for her...her adoration for him. It just gives me the warm fuzzies...π³π
Hehehehe....I can totally imagine Mr. Prem Juneja all heated up at the airport over not knowing WTH is going on. hehehehe...
Love how when I read it, time seemed to stop for a moment at the airport when Heer said "Prem" under her breath and then he realized that she was there and she, without thinking twice, forgot all else and ran into is arms...the one place where she could find comfort and solace. The whole bit was sooooo beautifully written, Jaz.
I am surprised the brainy Prem Juneja didn't figure out that Chahat was his daughter right off the bat...hehehe I wanted to hit him on the upside of his head at that moment. It was cute tho - for Heer to retort with a "humari Chahat"...I loved that...and then how realization Dawned on Prem...how he realized that she had named their kid Chahat just as they had planned. The whole thing was t tooooooo sweet....that is of course, until Prem's anger unleashed...wait, no...that was cute too. π³
Okay...I'm going to stop there for now - I dunno if its FF or my computer, but I am having one hell of a time trying to get this written and posted - its just being slow and finicky...soooo I will stop here, and comment on Part 3 on Monday when I get back...
Go ahead and post Part 4 if you want...I will look forward to having something to read upon my return. Have a great weekend, and oh yea - I don't think I ever congratulated you on graduating...CONGRATS dear! π€
Okies...gotta rush...see you soon...
Loads of Love,
P
