That was unbelievable. my god, like a potential thriller movie. Action, drama, romance, everything! 😛
I am SO in love with your writing style, Viji. And trust me, even before I saw the Pm I'd read your story. Because i keep waiting for them.
The way you portrayed Sanskaar and Swara's relation from here, from what we're seeing now, to the very end, where the conspirator was rightly punished for his sins, I have just one word. WOW. It was pure entertainment and nothing else. I could feel Swara's fear, Lakshya madness and Sanskaar's grief when he found out about Kavita being killed by Lucky. I am still in your story, not able to pull my mind out.
Anyway, hands down incredible. 👏
PLEASE WRITE MORE SOON

Thanks so much for those very generous words. 😊 Am very glad you liked it, it was kind of a new genre for me, I've done Angst & Romance so far (separately and together 😉), but not mystery/ suspense. So as you can imagine, I'm absolutely thrilled that you found it good.

I'm planning to write an OS before Diwali. Will be a light hearted one. I need a break after this very intense piece. 😊

Viji🤗,
First of all thanks for that incredible dedication. I have to tell you I read it thrice..and then after I finished the entire 3shot..I went back and read it again.😉 Self obsessed me! I am glad my words could help this one out of your computer screen and into the forum. in Ragini's words, your work would otherwise say 'Aap hamare saath aisa kaise kar sakte hain?'😆


@1st part: I loved the element of mystery in it. Agatha Christie is like my staple diet...so that quote was a pleasant surprise.
I loved the mysterious night air blowing all around and the shroud of evil approaching. Creepily done..and thats a compliment.😉
I have seen this AP before from you...although this version is a bit mellower. I love how her utterly different Devrani-Jethani relationship with Suju is explored a bit.😊


@2nd Part: I adored the slow exploration of romantic feelings budding and moving towards the complete flowering.😊 I deeply admire how your characters never are in a lot of hurry. Its believable.😃 The missing-my-hubby-worried-to-bits Swara was enjoyable.😈 Most of all I liked how swara accepted him as the Husband in its true sense. A male presence who would love, nurture and guard in equal measure. Not just a friendly companion..😃


@3rd part: It became apparent by the time when you mentioned that letter in Sanky's writing...and how Laksh 'slunk away'...that he was going rogue. I am glad that u gave him a basis of illness to fall back upon...although I would genuinely have wished Sanky to have pumelled him a bit more than what he did.😡. By process of elimination..there were only two people who would wish Sanky harm...AP and Laksh. rags or DP or Suju would rather discredit Swara more than Sanky to get revenge of any sort.😳. me Detective.😃

I Dunno if you just overlooked it..but you used another AC quote.😛 Its from the Death on the Nile.
When the sun is out, the moon cannot be seen or something like that. Spoken by Jackie w.r.t Linnet Ridgeway. Well explained attitude towards Kavita falling for Sanky.

I loved how intimidating the sly Laksh sounded when Swara confronted him Its symbolic in a way..ending any chance of reconciliation between them for whatever reason, even if she was not madly in love with Sanky.

I might as well stop before I analyse any more. Lovely 3shot...and as always written beautifully.

Love--
Medha.

I loved the whole story...I read it in one go. It's well written and the suspense is captured well though i did gauge it was Laksh starting part 3.

Congratulations on another well written story and your first suspense one 😊

Hey Medhu...🤗 🤗 🤗

Thanks so very much, dear. Glad you liked it. I meant the dedication, I was really in two minds this past weekend, whether to complete this TS, and post or not. I'm glad I did, though.

As regards the culprit, I did try my best to throw some suspicion on AP and Sujju. 😛

Oh, the quote about the Sun and the Moon is not originally from AC's "Death on the Nile". I remember reading it there of course, I just loved that book, BTW. That is probably one of my favorites from AC, along with The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Cards on the Table, and Murder on the Orient Express. And oh, of course, Appointment with Death and Ordeal by Innocence.

Coming back to the saying (Sun and Moon wala), its a pretty common saying, even in several vernacular languages, including mine (Tamil). So I'd assumed it was a "borrowed quote" used in the novel, and hence did not cite it, like I'd cited "Towards Zero" and the other quotes. Make sense? 😊

Thank you 😊 Yeah, I did put in clues indicating Lakshya as early as part 2...the handwriting one and mimicry one. So the Sansku handwritten letters were a pointer towards Lucky. I tried to throw some suspicion on AP and Sujju at the start, though. 😛
