Lovely post L-I-Beautiful ! For a Swasan confused pankhi, this one was a godsend, cause you have actually given some logic to the entire stream of inputs we've been getting through the various modes ! Thanks for it !👏
Loved the start of your story..you have captured the Kolkata rains and the spirit of monsoon so well! That feeling of everything being cleansed out completely, the incessant rains, the paper boats, the flooded streets...umm..😃
I liked how you've taken Swara's view point and explained all the little nuances of her feelings over the last few days..2 months right! Wow, and Sanskaar and she have left it right at the edge havent they? And she is betting on him ...? God..this is close !!😲
The decision to leave MM, following her discussion with Sanskaar, where she finally realizes that she is leaving a lot more behind than just a in-name-marriage, explains what the snippets have been telling us..and you have dovetailed your story beautifully with them.. That the full realization of his true position in her life has come as part of the 2 mths of brooding, makes perfect sense..And so does her impulsive urge to hurt him, by agreeing to marry Lakshya. She is human after all, and if HE, who she believed knew her best, could still think that she loved Lakshya, she would jolly well say so, just to hurt him...uh uh..!😕
Waiting to hear what she is betting on Sanskaar to do! But if its going to be 2-3 days away, you will have us on the tenterhooks as much as she is ! Be merciful...and give us an early update,... Please?😃
