Oh well! Thank you senbonzakura, for recommending this to me...
I dont know how I missed this, have been watching out for you, since I read Wonderful Tonight.
I am actually spellbound and quite at a loss for words (and that is saying something, since I normally cant stop talking/typing)
Such depth of thought, such a unique writing style...i am so in awe!!!
You draw parallels between Mala and a magpie...the bird that is attracted to shiny objects...just like Mala...her desire to fly higher, took her to a cage...gilded, of course...but a cage, all the same!
As we read your take on her, we can feel her anguish with this half life that she leads and see her wallow in the knowledge that she chose this life for herself..
Superbly done!
The Thakur,..the self-proclaimed monarch...I actually feel a little bad for him, when he takes it upon himself to protect the so-called legacy of his ancestors...so unnecessary...
But again, he seems to have convinced himself that this is what he was born for...to keep the family name untarnished...
That you managed to make us ponder over the pitiable plight of the main antagonist...what talent!!
The maniac...the protagonist...the dark, damaged soul in desperate search of an anchor...and when he finds her, he is overcome by fear...that she will change him, will make him feel..
It's ironic how he does have a dream... But is too jaded to think of the dream ever coming through..
I loved how you wrote this particular piece...each emotion depicted beautifully..
I especially loved:
So quiet, a single breeze could wreck havoc. Leave echoes that could raise tornados and crumble him to the ground.
If he didn't lose his temper, he'd have lost his mind.
And finally...loved Muse...the various lives she could have led...yet the one where she finds her true self, the best fit is the one she is living and breathing...she is at her strongest, confident in her own skin! She fights a new battle everyday, to keep the tenuous thread of her relationship with Rudra..yet she attains peace and finds herself complete in all ways!!
Enjoyed reading this series immensely!!!
Wold love to see more from you!!
Love
