Just got caught up with Part XXII-A, Indu, and the beginning here tugged at my heart:
Babuji's eyes misted as he looked up at a teary Mishty. He clasped Yash's hands in his and nodded, "He is yours beta…yours and Mishti's. Please say it again…Ansh's name…say it again."
"Ansh Yash Scindia."
"Thank you Yash…You have no idea how happy you have made me. Aman and Aarti will finally rest in peace. May all parents be blessed with a son like you."
"I am your son too, babuji….From now on you don't have to worry about anything. You just have to call me and I shall be there."
Babuji nodded proudly, keeping a hand on his head. Guptaji, who was silently watching the emotional interaction, addressed his friend.
"I can vouch for what Yash is saying, Dubeyji. After Arpita passed away, this boy didn't let me and Deepa feel lonely at all. He always considered us his family and it has remained thus. You and I are very fortunate…We lost our children but God gave them back to us in the form of Yash and Aarti and with such beautiful grandchildren too. Our family is once again complete."
Gah! I absolutely love these parts above, and that sentence in bold is such a Yash thing to say. He is a man of his word, the man of his family in more ways than one. I also loved the continuing scene when he speaks to SP and Gayatri about his decision to adopt Ansh. SP was trapped by his double-standards once Guptaji laid it all bare for him.
"Exactly, my friend…similarly Ansh's missing link will be filled in by Yash. Think about it Suraj…Just as we are thinking of Palak's wholesome upbringing, Dubeyji is doing the same for Ansh. It doesn't matter to him whether Ansh is a Dubey or a Scindia….All he wants is for Ansh to have a mother and a father both….to have parents who can give him lots of love and security."
IMHO, herein lies the basic principle of PV's exploration of Yash and Ansh's relationship, and this running theme also seems to be the main thread of the upcoming arc. I love, love, love how you mirror what happens on the show in some ways, making the show plots resonate even more. It was also great to see Guptaji (Arnav) point out that the kids made the choice of their respective father and mother before the adults even considered it. That's the important thing, in my mind. And I'm happy your SP and Gayatri take in the reality and open their hearts.
Onto Part XXII-B. Oh my goodness, the "You look sexy" scene with Ansh, Palak, Aarti and Yash is another priceless moment in your story, Indu! 🤣 The kids were too cute. I loved it, and then Yash gifting her with the necklace is swoon-worthy. Their physical/sexual attraction and connection is so palpable. I was just about to congratulate her resolve when she said "From now on till we get married you cannot kiss me." Yash's incredulity was particularly amusing. But, then, naughty, Misthi! ☺️ 😆
"Yashji…you never answered my question. Why do you love me so much?"
"There's no answer to that, my love. All I know is that my soul lives in you. I was a dead man walking for six years, Mishti. Knowing you were not there yet keeping you with me, waiting for the moment in eternity when I would meet you again. And then I saw you…my heart pulled me to you but my mind questioned. That car journey to the farm house was the hardest of my life. There were so many emotions running through me. I hated myself for getting attracted to someone else…I thought I was betraying you."
"When did you know?"
"I think almost as soon as I met you…That silent phone call had reawakened my senses to you. Like I said, my mind battled with my heart….I was sure beyond doubt when I heard your voice over the phone while talking to Palak."
Aw, man, what a beautiful recount of what it was like for him to meet her again. Knowing her and being drawn to her yet not initially understanding how and why he did. I think these following portions of your Epilogue said it all, at least for me:
"Yashji, the day I met you for the first time...I mean on the day of the accident…I had gone to the dargah. I used to visit it very often….but that day something strange happened."
"What happened? (as she paused, chewing her lip….he automatically freed it)"
"I was praying, and then I felt this touch on my head. A baba had just blessed me. He was a well-known baba, who was visiting for only a day, as I came to know later. He said that God had preordained and that I shall meet my humsafar* on the road that day. When I was coming back, my scooty broke down exactly at the spot where you had your accident moments later…..Yashji (she looked up and found him staring at her)...that was a divine accident. I know that now. We were meant to meet there, on that road….I never did ask you….Where were you going that day?"
"To the same dargah (he whispered in wonder)."
"(Nodding as if she expected him to say that) Destiny…you are my destiny…that's what Di had said. And I forgot. Oh God! I should have kept my faith (she repeated as warm tears fell down his chest)." . . . .
"Your love never lacked, Mishti….not now, not six years back. Even though we never confessed then, you and I both knew what we were to each other…..Our love for each other was as beautiful and strong then as it is now, and so real that it is almost impossible to express what we feel. Whatever you did, you did it for me. I didn't know you were alive, but I always knew how blessed I was to have been loved by you…..Your love was my strength.
So don't ever think that you lacked faith…..Tell you what, before we go on our honeymoon, the four of us will go and visit the dargah. (In response she turned and hugged him close….After a long pause)…Something is still bothering you." . . . .
"I love you Mishti…it's that simple. Our love has survived darkness and death. I won't let anything tear us apart ever again. Your happiness means everything to me. Each and every day I shall find new ways to love you…." . . . .
"Shshhh! (She kept a finger on his lips)…..How can you hurt me? ….Your touch has made me a woman tonight, my love. I actually felt my soul merge with yours and become one. Your sparsh has completed me….I am where I belong…I am home."
"I am home." She is indeed home finally. And so is he. *happy, contented sigh*
Indu, my friend, I've said this before and I'll say again, you are a great storyteller. You gave us a well-crafted mix of mystery, drama, comedy, and pathos. It's been an absolute treat to see Yash and Mishti (a.k.a Aarti) build on the love that was sparked in the past, explore their passion, progressively understand each other better, find emotional catharsis, work through their vulnerabilities, and create their family on their own terms! Thank so much for creating Sparsh and sharing it with us. 🤗
As Sparsh has come to an end, I'm going to relive ever moment of it.
Indu, initially when I read your title Sparsh, I would admit that I didn't know what the word meant plus I didn't know you as a writer. Giving Sparsh a shot was the best thing I've ever done in my reading life. The moment I started reading your first chapter, I knew I was in for a journey of a lifetime; a journey of love and emotion that is beyond what the eyes can see. You brought a whole new perspective to the word love and how people fall in love. We are so used to love at first sight or love within those lines but love just by touch, emotions and heart connection is something rarely heard of if not never. When you first introduced Misti and Yash and their bond through Sparsh, I was bewitched with the entire concept. I'll say the line that took my breath away and made me fall so much in love with this work of yours was when Yash said I'll never forget these hands of yours to Mishti. Those words just touched my heart so much because it was a love so pure. He didn't care about her aesthetics which is so prioritised but her touch, her love, her heart were what mattered to him; he fell in love with her because of her Sparsh.
Sparsh is so pure to me as it reminds me of a mother's bond to her infant. Infants are attached and identify their mother through touch and other protoconversations which we adults do not understand or just have forgotten to understand. So seeing Yash loving Mishti to such extents was such bliss for me as this is the simplest yet purest form of loving someone; through their touch.
Gosh Indu you will never know how much your Sparsh has affected me and I don't have the words to convey my feelings as words fall so short. My heart wrenched when they separated but again Yash recognised her through her voice and confirmed it through her Sparsh. This whole event made me believe in a love that is so non-existent. In fact it reminded me of my favourite book, LOTR which depicted the long love journey of Aragon and Arwen; as their love was very much of the heart compared to physical relationship. I fell in love with their story as it was so different compared to the conventional love stories and this is why I love your Sparsh beyond words as it's far from conventional.
A love spanning 6 years without any physical contact and with the misconception that his love was no more on earth all because of a few days of her Sparsh!! This was the first time Sparsh made me cry like a baby as I was so overwhelmed with such strong emotions of love. I know you think I'm really emotional and sentimental as I pretty much cry with each updates, but the fact is Indu, I cry because I feel the depth of emotions between both Aarti and Yash; their blissful bond is just so overwhelming that I just cannot hold back my tears. All my will just breaks down with your narration of the pure bond they share; something which I've never seen in real life.
You know Indu, I absolutely salute you as a writer for being true to yourself and not trying to write down scenes that make you uncomfortable i.e. explicit scene. I'm very thankful and elated that you didn't as that preserved the entire essence and pureness of Sparsh. Plus there's no need of such a scene when romance is penned in such manner that it makes the heart beat so much as you can feel the intensity of Mishti and Yash just through the way they hold each other and feel each other. I will admit to you, the romance scene you pen down between both of them made my heart beat faster and feel so much more than what explicit scenes make me feel.
The emotions and love Mishti and Yash shares is beyond this world that trying to fathom it just made me burst into tears of joy as it brought my mind to this whole other dimension, something which I thought was never possible after Aragon and Arwen. I felt like my heart was about to explode with joy when I felt that love and emotion delivered in your Sparsh. You made me relive that entire journey again Indu and words are not enough to thank you for that.
Indu you're a brilliant, amazing and fantastic writer for being such a concept to us; a concept of Sparsh which is enough to last a lifetime. There are only 5 books/stories which have touched my heart and your Sparsh is one of them. It has sparshed my heart in such a manner that each time I relive it, tears of happiness just flows down my cheeks. Again I'll say this again, you can call me biased Indu but I'm an emotional bloke with your work Sparsh because it made me feel emotions which I thought I'd never feel again from another story.
I've tried reading so many romance novels to feel such love and passion as I once have but nothing came near. Then came Sparsh which brought all those emotions back. I still remember the time I laughed out and cried at the same time; it was when Mishti said that she never doubted her Yash and her trust never wavered. I was initially flabbergasted with such unwavering trust that I just couldn't read any further but the moment I did, I just burst into tears and started laughing at the same time. You've redefined the whole idea of love, romance and emotions and brought it to a whole new dimension.
Sparsh ending is very bitter sweet for me. It's sweet because of all of the above. Bitter as I'll have to say goodbye to it as the whole journey has come to an end but actually it'll never be a goodbye. Sparsh will always remain with me and I'll just relive it again and again by just closing my eyes and thinking of Mishti and Yash. They'll always be in my heart as a great love story which is so pure and true. Sparsh is in my heart and the writer of it has my utmost love, respect and admiration for bringing this story to my life and letting me feel so much. All the words of gratitude are not enough to explain how thankful I am to you Indu for your work. I'll just start by saying thank you.
It's time to bid adieu but as I said, it'll forever remain with me.
Here is a hug which is filled with love, gratitude, respect and whatever happy emotions an overwhelmed reader could feel. 🤗❤️
