Skepti I LOVEDDDD IT!!... it was outstanding....👏👏

wat I like is… even in your short stories whole personality of character is covered…. Its fairly easily to picture the person… Really liked the way you showed Manpreet's personality... you portrayed her emotions superbly ...I could just imagine her standing up there thinking how her life has turned…how she is to handle it now…I was imagining Raj s body language while he was rushing towards his car to meet his wife n family…. That further helped clear mist for her

n Raj with his clear thinking was great to watch… I actually watch your stories…n of course that "firebrand" made us smile too….

I love the stories with the positive aspects of life such as love, and emotions...n this story was all about that... we definitely go thru bundle of emotions n these can be handled in many ways….liked the way Raj handled it ….very mature…when you can talk about something looking into the eyes you know you are over it....loved the whole conversation

"I want you to be happy." He genuinely cared for his friend

But he definitely loved Kranti more than Manpreet…. he cd let go manpreet but not her😊…if need be he wd have changed it all to be with her…isn't it?

"Our life is shaped by the decisions we take."

philosophical! Now I am pondering over it… but scared to go deep as don't want to sulk… may find some silly ones but no point regretting now…

He was everything a girl would want in a man. Tall, good looking, intelligent and well mannered.... is it? Of course you groomed the rat but you think that he has gud looks 😉

pls keep writing these nice stories…i really enjoy reading it..

Are we getting update in MRD tonight….

"I don't know if you remember me, I'm……."how could anyone ever forget that voice .....the power of first love , the warmth despite all the distances all the time that flows ........that power remains skepy.....thanks so so much am just too moved by this concept 😳

Raj blinked. He could never forget that voice.

"Preet?" asked Raj.

"Hello Raj," she said. "Didn't expect you to recognise me."

"I didn't. But your voice was a dead giveaway."

"So you haven't forgotten me then?"

"No. Why?"yes why why r we expected to forget past why why why ,,,,i truly wish that they could have shown a soft manpreet , who could do things right who could see kranti and raj as they were.....two people bound by pull of destiny nothing could pull them apart.....even if they had seperated that pull would remain till eternity ....

skepy thanks so much for making raj a mature thinker , a sweet human being , who could be civil to his ex-flame because no human being is totally eveil we all have our demons and we all have to deal with them.... and we all have to face the consequences of our mistakes......our actions... thanks for this skepy ....am waiting for more , u transfered me into a era ..of nostalgia ...thanks so much , keep it up am happy and am greatfull and it was ur concept all right, maine to bus do line suggest ki thee, still u gave me credit for concept ...am so so touched...

Long time no see, sweetie ...............

Actually the sequel to this encounter is "A Wintry Night" I am posting it here for all of you to read (if you want to) to put things in a better perspective.........Happy Reading

A Wintry Night ………………..

Concept = Sammy

Story = Skep

Kranti sat at the window seat that overlooked the valley. It was dark and cold outside. She looked out at the bleak surroundings. It was snowing. The furry snow was beating down on the window panes. How she disliked it here! And it was all Raj's fault. She pursed her lips and tried to see through the falling snow. She clutched the blanket closely round her. She kept the hot sigdi near her feet. She hated it when her feet became cold. She was here in Sohan Tauji's house in Shimla. He had left it to her when he had died almost two years ago. She had come here once before to claim the house and sign the deed papers. She was already married to Raj at that time.

Sagar was another freedom fighter who had left Lahore and come here. He had no one in the world but Kranti. He lived in the house. The partition had left behind a trail of death, sorrow and misery. Families had got wiped out.

She longed for the plains. She longed to see the lush green of the fields outside Amritsar; the warmth of her land; the songs of the ladies as they swung on the jhoolas and most of all her friends. When she washed her hair, she would leave it open. Old Fatima bi gave her some herbal powder to wash her hair. It was magical for it had the fragrance of sandalwood and lilies. The smell lingered on for days. And Raj never missed a chance to breathe in the fragrance. He would hold her head and pull her close. She would sit on the terrace and dry her long dark hair. She remembered sucking on aam papad that was made from mangoes. She remembered ladies from the neighbourhood giving her sweets and pickles. They tried teaching her how to be a good quiet dutiful wife. They knew that was the most difficult thing. Kranti couldn't be tamed. She did exactly what her mind told her. Buaji always scolded her gently. Then Kranti would pretend to sulk. The best part was when she would say…..sudhar ja bachchi, kaake jaisa aur koi nahi hai. Kranti would show shock and couldn't resist saying, why does he live in a home then …shouldn't he be showcased in a museum? Buaji used to try to look stern but always failed. Everyone was laughing, Chaijee the most.

She missed Nirmal di so much. Why did Sanjay have to go to stay in Delhi? She now kept in touch with her sister through letters. She wanted to go so badly to meet her but her husband wouldn't allow it. She scowled. He was so stubborn…….ooofffff.

Kranti had taken part in an agitation. She had been hurt then. While trying to escape, she had fallen and for days her back continued to ache. For a while she thought she would never walk. But massage and exercises had rejuvenated her. She had never seen Raj so angry before. He had been out of his mind with worry. He forbade her from leaving the house and had instructed that everyone was going to see that she remained indoors. But Kranti had revolted against this diktat. No one was going to issue such preposterous orders. I will, said her husband. He had suddenly lunged for her and caught her. Not a word out of you……shhhhh. His brown eyes had almost turned black. His eyebrows drew together in a frown. No one uttered a word. They realised that he was serious. Kranti kept silent too. But her eyes did all the speaking. Anger glinted in her eyes at first, but they fell against his compelling look. That had been four years ago.

The wind howled outside. Kranti was restless. How long would it remain cold like this? She heard the sound of the doorbell. But no one seemed to have answered it. She got up. She rubbed her lower back with her hand. There was a slight ache. Chaijee said it would soon go away. The bell chimed again. That was funny, where was Jagat kaka? She went down to the lobby of the ground floor. She went forward to open the door. Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned. It was a hooded figure. Hello said the person hoarsely. Kranti went backwards. In the darkness she was taken aback. When had he come? And why wasn't she told? It had been a whole month. She looked at him but didn't say a word. He removed his hood and the cloak. His hat he hung on the peg and the overcoat was kept away. He came towards her. He reached out and touched her cheek gently. His fingers were ice-cold and so she jerked away. Kranti, he whispered….its been a long time since I last saw you. Her eyes were steadfast on his face. They were sad and angry both at the same time. He took a step forward and reached for her. She went to him and looped her arms around his waist. He stroked her hair. It is still smelling of lilies….he laughed. The hall light came on. Kranti didn't move away. She didn't care. She missed him and needed him. He was a first class rogue for sending her here to recuperate. She had rebelled and cried her heart out, so the rest of the family came to Shimla……except Raj. Parjaijee came down the steps carrying a bundle in her arms. He took the infant in his hands and smiled down at its beauty. The sound of gurgling drew Kranti's gaze on her child. She looked at this enchanting little being who had come into their life. It looked so safe with its father. Kranti bent her head and placed the softest of kisses on the tender forehead.

Honey, why would I laugh? After al we discuss everything here and so our interaction becomes interesting. And we get to understand everyone's interpretations of a story. So don't hesitate to give yr POV or yr ideas.

From the way my MRD is progressing, did you feel he hates her? No .......there is no hate. 😲

And I agree with you why the devil should he forget or obliterate his past so completely? He has evolved because of his experiences.

skepy thanks so much for making raj a mature thinker , a sweet human being , who could be civil to his ex-flame because no human being is totally eveil we all have our demons and we all have to deal with them.... and we all have to face the consequences of our mistakes......our actions... thanks for this skepy ....am waiting for more , u transfered me into a era ..of nostalgia ...thanks so much , keep it up am happy and am greatfull and it was ur concept all right, maine to bus do line suggest ki thee, still u gave me credit for concept ...am so so touched...

Sammy,

I am like a spider.......I can weave webs of fantasy. But I need a starting point, the rest comes easy. That's why I keep asking you girls for a storyline and then I mould my story accordingly. So thank you. I have just posted A wintry Night above. That is the sequel. Read both together........things will fall nicely into place.

I always write part II before part I dont know how and don't know why. Mera dimaag hi tedha hai. 😳🤢
