Okay, I see Aanya's first, but technically I was, because I did post my 'r' first, but the stupid IF system thought I was SPAMMING, and didn't let me POST! Screw you IF! So Aanya, technically I was first okay. Hmph. š¤¢
Congratulations
I don't know what to say, which I haven't already said before.. But there's a reason why I absolutely adore 'Core Of My Existence' and that is, it retains AR's characters, as they were both so brutally butchered in DMG-2! And second, it continues the story from a place where we all hate - and of course, it continues the story the way it should have been!
Honestly, it should have been this which should have been DMG's story-line.. What they got out of showing what they did except for crappy new characters, loss of viewers and dropping TRPs, and eventually the wrap-up, is out of my league!
But, like I was saying, your story makes me forget all of it.. No kidding!
So, for your, no actually my, extra-special Congratulatory note, I'm going to list down a few things which have me ADDICTED to your story.
I ain't going to call it a Fan Fiction, because its nothing like DMG-2 ever was! It just has Armaan-Riddhima as two characters, so I'm going to term it as a 'spin-off'.. And a very good one at that! Its not easy to manage one, but you've handled it like a pro! And you say you've never written before? Well, you've handled this story so effortlessly, its hardly believable!
Second, I'll come to the characters, mainly AR and Muskaan, and of course our very favorite Sasur-Shanky.
Armaan - He makes my heart go 'Mmm..!'
He's just... perfect. No words are enough to describe him.. He's basically that ideal guy, that perfect Prince Charming everyone wishes for.. But in COME especially, he's stolen my heart for real.. How, I mean, how in the world can anyone love anyone so much, as much as he loves Riddhima? Sometimes I feel its impossible for such love to exist, so if I never find a guy Ankita, its absolutely your fault.. Armaan in this story has completely raised the bar, and now I'll look for Armaan-traits in every guy I come across. Thank you very much for that.
Riddhima - For a change, I don't hate her in this story.. I've always hated her.. In stories which are adaptations of DMG I mean.. But in your story, I've actually come close to like her! Weird!
Anyway, she's as expected, scared, low in confidence, low in belief, low in everything basically, so I understand her plight.. Its natural to feel this way after everything she's going through!
But yea, I like her in this story, and for that, its you who's responsible, because you made it possible!
Shashank - I hate this guy! Which father gives up on his daughter this way?! And then he actually questions why Riddhima loves Armaan more than him? What a wimp!
He's an ass.
Muskaan - A true friend, the best companion anyone can find! She's exactly like she was in DMG! Bubbly, full of life, jovial.. And I'm glad she's staying with AR, and now since Riddhima's left, with Armaan.. At least he won't be alone anymore! And also, I've noticed, AR's moods have improved way much since Muski's arrival! And I love her for that! She's added zing to their lives, and moreover, she's added zing to your story too!
I really feel for her though, and I hope Rahul comes around soon. The dimwit.
From Riddhima's insecurities, to her call to Shashank, to their wedding, everything has touched my heart in this story.. Every update gets me close to tears - happy or sad, and that speaks for itself..
I adore this story, not because of AR either, but because of the way you've played with their minds and fears! Its so realistic, everyone I'm sure can relate to it.. And plus, you've explained every feeling, every emotion, every thought so nicely and in such intrinsic detail, it just makes your story so real, I feel like I'm actually sitting there with them, and also I can empathize with them.. How you did this Ankita, its out of my thought-process!
So this was my way of telling you just what you've given us by writing COME, and of course, you've given us AR, and now, I don't even miss DMG anymore.. I just read your updates, and I feel like I'm watching it, so no complaints there!
I <3 COME
I <3 AR
I <3 you for writing this
Thank you for giving us 'Core Of My Existence'!
Hugs,
Shrutika x
