Hey Shruti 😳
Late is probably an understatement. 😆 I couldn't bring myself to read anything during this phase of SR. After the initial shock of Swara's mistrust, I was heart broken. 🥺 I guess it threw me off completely because it mismatched with her character build up. But I wish I had read this then, it would've soothed and calmed me down a little.
That letter.. Oh God. 😳 I would've bawled if I read it at the time, I'm sure. I loved how she talked about her insecurities, how she addressed her taking him for granted, how she didn't throw in any excuses and just accepted that she hurt him. Swara leaving to honour her self respect was something I'd wanted her to do for a long time, glad we got it in this. 😊
I especially liked that sentence where she felt like his name was being engraved into her heart while she wrote it on the envelope. Oh the feels. 💔
My poor, poor Sanky. The way he sensed something was horribly wrong.. he must've been in agony when he read that letter.
Thank you for exploring and giving a back story to Swara in the second part. CVs have shown indications of her wanting this "perfect" family in the initial stages of SR but never chose to explore this further during fake marriage days, which disappointed me so much. It tied up a lot of lose ends and reasoned how Swara often contradicted herself in the show.
That part where SwaSan are fuming at each other, then that anger slowly melts away and how they read this in each other's eyes. Wonderfully penned out. ⭐️
I love how he plainly just tells her his mann ki baat and how she eventually fumbles and mumbles how he's beginning to affect her and that she just can't give him divorce. Thought that was uber cute--she sounded so childlike there. We can count on Sanskaar to know what Swara is going through- admiring how he just distracted her from those over whelming feelings through the boat ride, finding some sanctity and peace doing all the things these two planned together during diwali, just making her feel like she's with the old Sanskaar, her Sanskaar. In turn helping her to pour out those feelings, to tell him everything and making him the happiest man alive with those 3 magical words.
Gosh I badly miss this SwaSan. They have a story here.. whereas now in the show, they're just two people made to react to the drama. I want this back! 😭
