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? 😊


oh!...I never knew that. 😲
I love the sad cypress and roger ackroyd..and of course ABC murders. Cards on the table -mr shaitana😛

congo on ur first mystery work viji.😃

Thanks Saku dear. Updated! Do read and let me know what you felt. The bad guy/ gal is revealed in the last part! 😊

Viji dear,
I already knew it was a guy, sort of guessed, but seems like I was eyeing the wrong guy...never thought it could be Lakshya to be honest. When I read that Swara remembered the doing homework part I was like completely bowled over. How couldn't I see something so precisely there? Then of cause he could imitate people, you said that as well...still I was blindly ignoring this guy!
And you still feel unsure about your ability to write suspense? If you are going to take my word this is a master piece...I still feel the after currents of my excitement and later utter shock. Can't honestly remember anything this captivating I've recently read😊

Thanks so very, very much, Saku. 🤗 🤗 Makes me feel glad I set out on this voyage after all 😊 as regards writing this genre.

I did put in a couple of clues hinting at Lux in Parts 2 and early part of 3, though in Part 1, I was doing my best to throw some suspicion on AP and Sujju. 😛
Glad you liked it dear. Means a lot.

Viji🤗!

What an uncanny ability u have, in all the superlatively good way.😃
Well, I knew you were a little apprehensive about this piece and was attempting a different genre!

Truth be told, I had fully well known that whatever you would write would turn out to be beautiful as always but, dear, this genre of suspense was a big surprise for me!

I ended up reading this piece thrice and every single time i observed how you have so diligently written each sentence, each, serving it's rightful purpose in completing this wonderful shot (as in ,a real suspense shot)

I am not going to write the points that i loved this time, given , practically i would end up musing over every little line that u would have added and also, this being a three shot, i would as well as end up copy- pasting the entire of it, instead!

The quote of zero hour! Mind-blowing. It indeed summarized the entire writing of yours!
I would very briefly, again i say, very briefly sum up what i loved.

First of all , what caught my attention apart from the fact that this piece had your author name was, the atypical titles that each shot had!
"A dark night dawns"- Even your preface perfected the theme you wanted to convey! 👏
A creepiness started to set in with the dawn of the darkness this piece would contain
"Their intimacy blooms--but amidst a sleepless malice" , "Zero hour" - The titles just so apt. And of course "The growing intimacy" grew on me like a dream 😳.
So, kudos for such thoughtful and apt titles. It isn't an easy task to summarise and nail it, both perfectly😊


PREFACE- Had all the elements that would set up the stage for the act to take place. I just loved..LOVED the entire of it!
I could so well imagine the scene of rain pouring hard and it did , with the realisation that it's a thriller , pounded my heart beats in anticipation of what could happen further! This indeed provided the edge that preface should provide.

You have always been a master in attending those little tad bit details , that convey much more than just the story. That scrupulous writing on setting the scene itself blew my mind. ⭐️

..."Painted blue on blue , one stroke at a time, into deeper and deeper shades of night!"
l couldn't understand whether it was eerily romantic or romantically eerie. That sentence was just very poetic!
I just have to rate this to be the best preface for any genre of writing!

PART 1- With all mental preparations to grab the slightest clue that u trail behind, i begin reading , only to find myself admiring Sanskaar and the inner determination the poor chap had to bring out!
The AP and sujju part, i found extremely well thought as if ,you had delved into the layers of their thick brains, of course thick for different reasons😆
In all senses, this was a deadlock -- between his fear of losing his world , and her fear of facing hers. - I am simply in awe with the way this conveyed the equation of Swasan of 'your story 'as well as the show.


PART 2 -- Here i scroll down in anticipation, again, waiting to recognise every trail u leave behind with a pounding heart (after reading the title)and what do u do ,Viji? Direct somersault of my heart! 🤪
There is such a beautiful realisation hidden here but all that i remember very lividly is the dismantling of the pillow wall
I am glad, Swara took the first step🥳
I also saw how just a few lines brings out the hush and blush that arises after reading something in detail! I believe, this is the best trait of a romantic author,in which, you already hold a black belt😆
PART 3-- As much as i enjoyed the Sanskaar's revelation of Lakshya's skills (I was like - Oh this Lux ji is also talented!😆) and the way you had written about it as if it was just a flow of the topic and is inconspicuous, I appreciate.
But, i had this sense that it had to be our Talented Lux ji only, from the preface and i was just glad to see it getting confirmed. I kinda instantly knew the moment Swara read the letter and also when she spoke to Sanskaar ..well ..errr ..Lux over the phone! 😊

But the best part of surprise was the association of Kavitha with Lux as his love interest and batch -mate. I say so, because, that put a full-stop as to how , when, and all the 'Wh' question that would arise to know the reason of Lakshya falling in love with Kavi!
The story supporting the reason behind this vengeance seeker Lakshya isn't baseless or superficial. It can only arise as a result of complete understanding of Lakshya, DP, AP and Sanskaar.

The conversation between Swara and Psycho Lux-👏👏
Well, for someone who could have guessed the culprit, the dialogues and the extent to which his madness has settled deeply was the suspense Or must i say, a shocker?!

The conversation was eerieee! It sent nah , scintillated psychic vibes all around.
That is where indeed you have triumphed with your writing. 👍🏼
It isn't about finding the culprit..it is about the feeling that arises making him a culprit, a criminal..Those lines on him burying swara and yelling that he would visit her regularly..also, asking her about her choices of flowers! ...Girl, what a deep post-Mortem have u done of a criminal mind!😕


The story just oozed psychological imbalance and creepiness! 😲
I am so very glad u gave a happy ending. 😆

Viji, a true writer is his/her own competitor and that, I see in you!😊
Your writings reflect the amount of time, thoughtfulness and sheer hard work you assiduously put!👏

I remember, you had said, "Now i will burn my midnight oil for this SS as I want it to meet your expectation!"
If this isn't called meeting above expectations, then, I honestly do not know what is!🤗

Hey Akanksha. ...thanks for reading and for your lovely comment. 😊 Oh, I like Rags too. But here I was exploring the culprit's involvement in Kavita's death also na. Five years back tho Rags was not acquainted with the Maheshwaris. ...hence I focused only on Lux here as the negative character.

But it is my dream, to do a TS on Rags's ultimate redemption. I have been thinking about it for a long time. As soon as I get some good, concrete ideas, will work on that.

Thanks again. 😊 Glad you liked this TS.

Thanks so much Latha. Am very glad you liked it. 😊 Well, its the first time I am writing something in this genre, you see. Hence I wanted to do justice to it, was a bit worried it might fall short. I am very happy to hear your generous words about it. Reassures me that I managed to get it fairly right.

Thanks again.

Thanks Dundumol. 🤗

BTW your comments about Lux were so hilarious, I was going 🤣 🤣 when I read it.

Am very glad you liked this TS. Will surely PM you for my future works also. Hope you had the time to go through my previous works in my index, since you had asked me for this.
