PM me the next time you update.Hey Shailu Di! Nice to see you here!😊One request - Can you please Buddy me and Jahnvi.123 for the PMs? Makes it easier.I'll begin with what I felt on reading the part. The entire scope of this ff is panoramic. A number of characters, the conflict between their past and present, the nostalgia, their search for their roots, and of families torn apart by circumstances, everything was encompassed within a single chapter.I agree. The scope is definitely very vast. I don't think we will be touching all the subjects here..But we will be trying to do as much as we possibly can..Vasundhara's past continues to pursue her even in the present. She finds it unable to escape from those painful memories. Her opening that chest and finding something terrible reminds me of the Pandora's box. So I think all problems began with the unlocking of that old chest and Vasundhara finding that old diary. Were the memories recorded in that diary so powerful enough that they rock the boat of her happy married life? A lot of suspense has been created I must say.You have probably found the perfect anology! A lot happened after the opening of that box...This suspense will dissolve slowly 😛Vasundhara hates her father-in-law. But why still needs to be unraveled.Kabir seems to be giving up the opportunity of a lifetime for an impossible or impractical quest. But he is almost driven to it because his present will not make a sense to him if he doesn't uncover his roots.It has been the one thing he is restless about. And many a times, lifetime opportunities look bleak when compared with answers of pressing questions.Viraj and his father still continue the traditions which Vasundhara began when she was with them. They get the cake baked with the same flavors as Vasundhara used to add on every memorable occasion. Both of them are not ready to let go of the past even though it is no more relevant to their present. Looks like they are caught in a time warp.Well, whether their past is relevant to their present or not...Only time will tell 😉Nisha and her dreams to achieve something in life look comparatively simple in this complex set up of conflicting dreams and wishes. What Nisha's role is between all these complex individuals remains to be seen. The stage has been set. There are a lot of gaps in between but it makes for a very interesting reading full of thrill and suspense.Uhh..Gaps? Should things be more clear anywhere?You have also introduced the character of Shyam Singh, the old family retainer and a second foster father to Viraj.
Waiting for your review of the second chapter! 😊
