Very beautifully constructed update. You had done justice to both the threads in your story: Ragini's discomfort and fear at the unfamiliar surroundings, at the treatment she's getting from Lakshya; as well as the cutely awkward feelings Swara is having for Sanskaar. The way she was so hyper aware of Sanskaar's gaze on her, was nice to read. And he was teasingly smiling at her, guessing and perhaps enjoying the effect he had on her.
You are evoking a lot of empathy for Ragini in your tale. Hats off to you, for showing her redemption in such a mature and realistic manner. The way she feels, that she wants to milk these 6 months for all the moments she gets to spend with her sister, was so touching. She wants and expects nothing from Lakshya, she just wants to live in MM for 6 months to soak in that time with the person whom she knows, feels so affectionate towards her.
Please do PM me for your further updates.
Cheers
