Really loved the PART 60 update, Bubble dear..🤗
I was so happy when I received your PM..😃😃
So now Swara's fears have melted away in the holy water..Really enjoyed her excitement in the water..😳

Sanskaar is also proud of her but he felt troubled when he saw her teeth chatter..😲 He was reminded of the trauma both of them faced in the car after Ragini tried to murder Swara..I really loved the way you wrote it dear..Nice thinking from your part..👏

Also when Sanskaar explained his trouble to them, Lakshya and Ragini too felt guilty of their behaviours after/at the time of those sequence of incidents.

And our ever charming Swara made them all feel relieved by her sweet talks..😳😳

Thank you so much Naina! 🤗🤗

Traumatic situation for them all... memory can be really like a thorn in the psyche till we deal with it!

Swara is a very sweet girl! 😳⭐️

Dear Bubble,
Now I understand what homecoming means !

I have been traveling followed by a hectic work schedule, so have not been visiting the Forum. Today I finally log in to read all the updates

This update was amazing - a simple action - of Swara shivering uncontrollably, becauase of a dip in the cold waters and it brings out the hidden guilt, remorse and angst from Sanskaar, Lakshya and Ragini (understated but there, nevertheless).

As Nalini mentioned, your characterisation of Lakhysa is the best (it is what I have always felt) - making mistakes is human but accepting, acknowledging and working towards forgiveness needs ample courage - at times even more courage than is needed to forgive the transgressors.

I simply love how the four of them are slowly moving forward and would soon reach a point where they could look back and not be overwhelmed by the negative emotions.

Do update soon.

love,
Nyna

Thanks so much Nyna!

Hope you're well rested after your homecoming 😃

Yes, simple action of shivering... right now it's just physical- just a reaction to cold water but then it was much much more... the stab of betrayal, the fear of losing one's life... the devastation of knowing your life has fallen apart even if you manage to ward off this merciless river! 😕😭

Sanskaar was so much in tune with her that day that he feels it as much as her, albeit from his own perspective. Lakshya and Ragini, of course, feel whiplashes of remorse.

Another part up soon! 😊

Hey Aditi! 🤗🤗

The past is dropping off, hopefully... unless one of them swings to another extreme in reaction to what has happened 😳

My trip(s) were great - much life was lived 😆😉

Update this evening!

Hugs,

Bubble

The Best of Things

(Ragya, Swasan) Fan Fiction Series +16

By Bubble

Chapter 61

It was dusk. They were walking down the river, headed to have dinner. They were staying the night in Uttarkashi and had already paid their respects to Lord Vishwanath. They'd been directed to an eatery that promised a good meal and Lakshya strode ahead looking for the restaurant's sign. Behind him, Swara was keeping a lookout as well.

Ragini was walking a little apart. Sanskaar noticed and slowed his stride to match hers. It had been an emotionally draining day for her. He took care to walk between her and the river that coursed powerfully to one side. They walked on in silence.

After a while she asked quietly, "Do you think the sacred river really washes away our sins?"

He shot her a glance. "They say so!" he responded, equally quietly, "They have said so clearly and repeatedly. Water is very powerful, after all. Plus, when there is genuine repentance, how can it not?"

She just stared into the dark waters.

"I should have listened to you... that day," she said, "Aapne kaha tha ke aage ka raasta theek nahin hai... phir bhi hum chalte chale gaye!"

"Galati toh mujhse bhi hui thi na, Ragini? Aur tumhari tarah, mujhe bhi pachtava hua, maine bhi prayaschit kiya hai... kar raha hoon! But repentance - that's the important thing, isn't it?"

She nodded, only half convinced that her actions could really be negated by mere intention and remorse. An air of melancholy still clung to her.

On a surge of affection, he caught her in a warm side hug. "You're making up for it, aren't you? Hum sab hain na saath mein? Sab theek ho jaayega!"

He patted her in comforting friendliness and her heart lightened.

"Ab chalo, let's go have dinner!" he pulled her away... from her sombre mood and the dark river.

+++

They caught up to Lakshya and Swara who were waiting outside the restaurant.

"There they are!" said Swara to Lakshya, "Maine kaha tha na, Ragini Sanskaar ke saath hai? Khamokhaan fikar kar rahe the tum!"

"Kahaan reh gaye tum donon?" Lakshya demanded.

"Sorry, sorry!" Sanskaar said, "we got sidetracked."

"Ragini, did you go wandering off by yourself?" Lakshya asked her sharply.

"Nahin, hum bas kuch soch mein pad gaye the...!" she said with an effort at lightness.

But Lakshya was still frowning as they went in.

"Ok, what I'm going to do is put all of us in one whatsapp group, so that we can communicate better," said Sanskaar, as pulled out his chair. "And Swara, please check your phone when it pings - that's what it's there for! I'm also going to add all of us to a tracking app - everyone needs to have their GPS on, so we don't need to worry when we can't find one another."

He fished out his phone to do it at once. Lakshya sat next to him and leaned in to see.

"Yeh group ka kya naam diya hai, bhai! 'Hum Chaar'! It sounds like so lame - as if we were a band of wannabe superheroes!" Lakshya remarked.

"Offo, I'm being factual, Lucky - there's no time think up a poetic name now!"

"Phir bhi! Kuch toh level hona chahiye!" Lakshya said.

"Theek hai... tu hi ban ja iss group ka Admin!" Sanskaar said, peeved.

"Ok, ok, you do it! We can always change the name later." But he rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile Swara and Ragini had their heads together.

"What a couple of technogeeks!" whispered Ragini, sounding more normal now.

"GPS so that they can track us through the bazaars and harass us to speed it up!" Swara muttered.

"Don't worry - we'll lose them in Haridwar. Send them on some wild goose chase while we go through Moti Bazar and Lakshman Jhula... Swara, I want to buy some achaar... I believe you get some great varieties here... and I know they're going to say we can't carry pickles all the way back to Kolkata!"

"Oh how can you resist achaar when it's your staple food? Bottles will be difficult but what if we..."

They continued to hatch plans in hushed whispers and suddenly noticed that the other side of the table had fallen quiet. Their husbands were looking at them quizzically.

Lakshya turned to Sanskaar. "Why do I get the feeling handling Swaragini isn't going to be as easy as managing Swara and Ragini?"

Yay!! 😃😃😃The 1st part was so sweet, simply put, endearing... Even i felt like giving a bear hug to Ragini, she seemed so wistful.. And she really is trying to make it up to everyone.. I like sanskar's way of silent support, its an art really... The SanLak part subtly shows how sanskar being the elder one takes care of the practical necessity and laksh being the younger one is more about the fun part.. Its the same with most siblings.. SwaRagini conspiring to lose their hubbys and shop away merrily😆😆😆 These sisters😃 Dono sahimein bhaari padne wale hai SanLak pe.. Now that they have bonded right back, the poor hubbys might have to woo them again if they want to be dalofied any ghaas.. Ooo that would be hilarious🤣 All in all a cute update Bubble!!🤗

Love,

Akshata😊

Amazing update Bubble! And thank you for the PM
All the 4 of them bond so well! Ragini's guilt is really good!!
The show ki Ragini is sorta nonredeemable but this one is quit better.
Sanskaar telling her how he repented for his sins and then the Swaragini discussion on shopping while SanLak try to think of a group name😆
Hilarious!!
Nice update
