First of all, 🤗
Secondly, SO sorry for not properly replying to the last update!
Anyway, will reply to BOTH, now...
For last month's update:
I'm touched by Preet's support of Heer...If he hadn't been there for her, where would she have gone, what would she have done? Its great that she had him to turn to like that.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how supportive Heer's parents are being in the given situation. Though I can imagine they probably weren't thrilled to find out about their daughter's pregnancy, I love the way they've been supportive of her decisions about it....her life in general, and the Prem factor...
I love how Heer really is taking control of her life...making it a point to face Prem, go talk to him...I love that she's strong enough to face him and not run. I love her courage, and her independence.
I wish, though its inevitable, that Preet didn't have to face heartbreak...he is a GREAT guy and deserves some one who will love and appreciate him whole-heartedly.
I hope to get to know Aarav better...
For Todays:
Finally, a first encounter with The Mr. Prem Juneja. WOW....what a character sketch, Jaz. Let me just go ahead and say, I know you said something about his character being somewhat negative, but, in reading this update, thats not the 1st impression I got at all. Its clear that Heer means a lot to him.
Love the initial image you created - so like a confused, lonely, drowning-in-his-own-self-pity (somewhat, anyway), Prem....Sitting their, reclined back, appearing unkempt, reminiscing about his Heer as he downs scotch trying to numb or ignore the pain in his heart. I loved it. I love him, already. Even with the way he "ever-so-carefully" removed the contents of the envelope - handling her letter gently so as not to mess it up....that in itself shows how much she, and the letter mean to him.
And what a letter it was. Loved it Jaz, I was speechless after reading it. I love Heer's straight-forwardness, I love how frank she was. I love how she wasn't afraid to admit that though she was in love with him, she knew that she had to find a way to move on because he couldn't give her what she ultimately wanted, and she didn't want to pressure him in any way.
Your main leads, as always, are BRILLIANT. I love them both, and am going to LOVE seeing their lives unfold.
I love how four years later, that letter still effects him, still stirs something within him. I love no matter how much he tries to distract himself, he wakes up every morning hating his life because she's not in it. I love the fact that though he refused to admit it to himself, He Loves Her and Wants to Give Her Everything She's Ever Dreamt Of.
Of course he Had to go see her - of course he couldn't stop himself even if he tried. He knows that perhaps he went wrong 4 years back...perhaps he lost out on the best thing that ever happened to him, and perhaps now, he can never have it back....but still, he had to go see for himself...had to try - give it a shot. Does he want her back in his life or is he simply curious as to whether she found the complete happiness he could never give her?
Loved how you dove into his thoughts, his account on his encounter with Teji Maan.
I love that when Heer finally showed up to see him, she was firm, in only giving him one, first and last opportunity to meet with her.
Loved the angry Prem as he tried to drink away his pain in the hotel room....and LOVED, that his heart began to race at the thought of HER, at the thought of coming face to face with Her again, after so many years....
My only fear is that Prem, in his somewhat drunk state, will do something to hurt Heer....it will be UTI of course, and unintentionally, but he will hurt her....and then kick himself for it later.
Need I say I love it?
Can't wait til the next bit....
Love,
~P
