Gonna read part 3 right now 😛
I read it - I like Rudra, but not sure I like a Paro who would continue the kiss where Rudra leaves off 😕
Sorry but I prefer my Paro to be timid in these matters 😳
Hello tvbuf, thank you for reading and for voicing your thoughts. 🤗 First of all let me just say that we all have our versions/images of Rudra and Paro that are equally right, and I don't mean to change your mind.
However, I do want to explain why I let Paro respond to Rudra's kiss:
First, this story is set just before the Jhaanki. By this time a certain level of intimacy had been established between PaRud. Like when she brought him a cup of tea and he twisted her wrists behind her, even when he let go her wrists she was enough in thrall to stay put. Then when he undid the clasp of her necklace on that rain-washed night, he was invading her personal space, touching her, and so on, but Paro did not loudly protest his nearness as she would have if Sumer had tried it ... She was attracted to him, unwillingly, hating herself for it, but there it was. 😃 Evident to Dilsher from before she returned on her own to stay with Rudra.
The second thing I considered was the nature of the medium and the audiences. RR was on TV for family viewing, and they were constrained in how they could show intimacy and how much. Fortunately I have no such constraints or qualms. And much like in an M&B, I can get as graphic as I want. 😉😃
Thirdly, the reason I wrote out Rudra's kiss at such length was because of how the kiss developed, how it changed from being forced on her to becoming soothing and healing, to appreciative and then to being caught up in desire.And after she had worked through her anger and hatred and pain in the kiss, all that remained for Paro to express was honest emotion in the heat of the moment.
For me Paro was nave but not shy. She was happy to take the first step - she did kiss him first eventually. She was a quick study and an ardent lover (the kiss on his forehead comes to mind). And when she took over the kiss, she echoed his moves.
And finally, I firmly believe that bodies have a language all their own. Paro alludes to it repeatedly in RR when she tells Rudra that his lips say something and his eyes something else. After all the layers of subterfuge have been cut through, it is the truth that remains. And after all the surface emotions were kissed away, for me PaRud had a moment of genuine, honest communication when finally they kissed.
So for me the Paro just before the Jhaanki in another medium was well within characterisation to lose herself in a kiss.
Gosh didn't realise it'd take so much writing to explain one kiss.😆
