In my defense, I never in my wildest imaginings had thought that I myself would abandon that journey halfway before the last dark outpost. Even less did I think that I would then board a different line, destined not only to travel opposite to the one I left you on, but at one stage, to collide head on with it.

Okies ^^ I don't know about Ragz but I accept his defense! This for me somehow absolves him to a great extent for showing her the wrong path... Because somehow I could never forget that he too was one of the people who helped her reach her tipping point... Not that I liked her door mat version earlier but had felt a bit sad that one got a chance to reform and other fell way off the wagon. But this thought that he really didn't know that he himself was ever going to be off that path of destruction, even in his wildest dreams, is a solace to me, for I'm biased towards him like most of us reading this...😳 It is like Swara was that freak mistake that happened in his life that righted all his wrongs... And this thought makes me happy...

Which is why I have to stand guard for her forever, regardless of whether she is my wife, or Lucky's or anyone else's.

^^ This is the essence of why I love swasan... this right there...esp the red... epitome of the word- UNCONDITIONAL. ❤️

She is my queen, just as Lucky is your king and we may well be the ones forced to duel to the death for them.

^^ This reminds me of so many things... the war generals, gladiators, chess pieces... Such a wonderful thought provoking line dear! ⭐️

You will read this as a threat and I can semanticise and say it is a promise, but it is what it is.

^^ This is just true blue Sanky right here!! 👏👏 I'm actually expecting he would be saying this to Ragz very soon in the show too... It is so like him to cut the chase and go directly for the jugular.

On the whole an awesome piece of writing dear...👏👏 It's been long since I actually quoted so many lines and gave an essay of a reply... But this truly deserved it. Guess this is my favourite of the lot that I hv read so far of this series which btw I'm yet to complete fully...😳

🤗

-Luv Niki

A beautiful end to an awesome series. I love this particular letter for several reasons. I like that Sanskaar is warning Ragini but at the same time entreating her to change. They will be such awesome partners in mischief when she redeems herself. But what I love the most is that Sanskaar's love for Swara just blazes through the letter. *sigh* How I wish that Swara loves him back soon...

Waiting to read more SwaSan from you.

I have read tale of two cities reduced me to tears. Its one of those books that i have vowed not to read again . It will make me sad for many days.

Ulike other letters i think here sanskar is blunt and to the point. I guess both being in same but diffrent situation has some thing to do with this i guess. Ragini may be a product of his plan but she have outgrown him over the time.

Hi Shruti,

Had a bad dream last night, could not sleep anymore... So here I am reading Sanskar's letter to Ragini. As much as my inner evil surprised me in the dream world same had done by Sanskar's version of his and Ragini's earlier companionship.

To be honest I think yes, he was the first to see Ragini as she really was, in fact whatever old ragini others claim to know is just a hologram she made in order to please them. With sanskar there was no need of that.

But, was Sanskar who he really is while he was with her, is a debatable question. Had Ragini in her true self ever was capable enough she could have pulled the lost soul sanskar back towards light instead hoping up on hell express with him. But alas, she was not the chosen one for that...had she been...theirs would have been a different tale to tell.

There is one quality that highlights itself in this serious of letters, Sanskar's ability to understand. He knows Ragini to the last inch of self there is to know and would know exactly where to aim if he wants her fallen, in case they ever dual in future. But he, being the amazing person he is warns her of the fact...I found that admirable. He plainly tells his enemy all about his weakness and strengths and leave the decision of crossing or not crossing him up to that very person, I like this confidence of his and also the undying want to protect Swara against anything that might harm her.

There is a frankness in this letter, not like the bareness of the letter to AP or the straightforward-ness in the letter to Swara, but a frankness that would only tally with his Dupattewali dost, that was once Ragini.

They both have loved people who do not reciprocate that love, only Ragini isn't as strong as Sanskar to withstand the pain it offered, if she ever accepts his hand truely perhaps they can share a bit of that pain. If anyone can ever claim to share her pain and help her out of it I believe it is Sanskar, if she lets him.

I liked the way, he told her how that old Ragini would have been a much stronger woman, true to the last word. He did not promise her Lucky's love, which again is a good thing, we don't want Ragini on any delusions again right?

As this is the concluding part, I have to say it is a master piece. If Ragini ever reads this she might give up any plant hatching in her pea brain and see the truth of herself.

Now I can tell you for sure, this is my favorite letter from all the rest. It has the compassion, genuineness and also the real feelings of a friend, who might not let you wonder on the darkside even for a tiny moment.

Awesome job!

Ek toh you always leave me speechless with your writing , imagination & creativity but this time toh I sachi don't know what to say.
Yes Sanskaar did lead ragini to jhe path of destruction may be even self-destruction too may he even showed the path to light which she refused to accept whether out of fear or determination is what I failed to understand.
But yes her evil mind *if you can call it that* can partially be blamed on Sanskaar but not totally.
And even now Sanskaar is walking on an ideal path, if she really did want to follow him even now is not too late.
And maybe even Sanskaar is right in second guessing Ragini's intentions because her truth was exposed she didn't willfully accept her defeat and also we all know how naive Swara can be

"you can sacrifice and not love; but you cannot love and not sacrifice"
This quote ❤️

Why did I get SanGini feels while reading this letter?😆 Definitely not as a jodi, but I would love it if these two go back to being friends...even frenemies maybe😉 taunting & irritating each other. They both are so focused on what they want & so honest to themselves that you can't help but like them after a while.

I liked the Lucifer reference.

Ah to have a man want to guard you that fiercely from any harm Does Swara even realize how lucky she is? No, dont answer that😆 This letter should actually serve as an eye opener for Ragz & make her realize that she deserves better. It might be impossible to find another Sanskaar, but finding a better replacement for Lucky shouldn't prove all that hard.

And Spoiler Tags please!!! I haven't read A Tale of Two Cities yet & read that info at the end😭😭

Hey Shruti...😊Am reading this last in Despatches series from an Airport lounge. 😊 Am on travel from today, as I mentioned.

Very nice end to the series. I liked the tone of the letter, Sanskaar giving some plain home truths to his former partner in crime 😊 And of course, for me, the best part was ""Which is why I have to stand guard for her forever, regardless of whether she is my wife, or Lucky's or anyone else's. I will always be there for Swara, one way or the other. She is my queen, just as Lucky is your king and we may well be the ones forced to duel to the death for them.""

I liked the bit also, where he ends with saying "your friend or foe"-- you decide! Clearly, he understands Ragini better than anyone else---even Swara, for that matter. He has walked on the dark side, after all. But he is there, in his way, to help Ragini come back into the light--if only she would let herself be helped!

Its a tough call to make Shru...but at the end of the series, IMHO, the letter to RP and Swara were probably my favorites. Followed by DP & Ragini's. But the speciality of this entire series was, it was very, very tough to pick! 😊
