Hey Shru...🤗 🤗
So here I am, back to comment on Chapters 3 and 4, which for me, were a balm to the heart after the angst and MU of chapters 2 (mainly) and little bit in 1. 😊 I know we have a "no thanks, no sorry" rule in place, but can I just say, that your lovely scrap just before you posted chap 3, helped me sleep a whole lot better. I would have had supremely disturbing dreams of SwaSan's severe MU and potentially long drawn out separation otherwise!!
As I think I've already told you, these two fascinating people seem more real to me than my neighbors down the street; and that is starting to worry me a little bit. 😉 Ok, truthfully, I have no intentions of changing that, but you know what I mean, I guess!
Coming to the updates.
Chapter 3: Finally, I appreciated Swara here, for at least articulating the reason for her hesitation to commit to a course, of acknowledging the depth of her feelings for Sansku. She's scared of the intensity of her own feelings; and I loved the way she says, that she couldn't possibly survive, if the bond she shared with him went kaput like the one earlier with Lakshya. The comparison of one "love" being a mere drop, as compared to the ocean of her intense feelings for Sanskaar, was a very deft touch. I love these little nuggets of word play when I read, it's like finding a favorite macadamia nut amidst a nut cluster, and relishing it specially! 😊
And kudos to her, for finally getting over her "pyaari behna" jaap, and seeing Ragini for what she is: a conniving schemer in the guise of a cherub! Liked the way she confronted Ragini, and felt satisfaction at having unmasked her truth. This will never happen in the show, Swara is too mahaan to feel anything but empathy for Ragini, even if she is revealed to have lied monstrously a second time, but hey, these improved versions of Swara can give us peace, right? 😆 Reading this take, reminded me of the saying "If a person fools you once, they're wrong, but if they fool you a second time, you're wrong." Thankfully, the Swara in your tale decided, she'd had enough of being fooled!
The part where Swara internalized and accepted her feelings for Sanskaar--a much needed balm to a crazy SwaSan shipper's heart (mine obviously 😉), which frets incessantly as to why Swara on the serial does not realize she has feelings for Sansku, yet. Swara dahling, for God's sake, listen to your heart, why does it seek him all the time when you need a shoulder, why do you want to discuss everything with him, why do you feel so free to take him for granted...If this isn't love...what is? And of course, cherry on the cake after the KC sequence, she does seem to be attracted to him as well...but she still won't admit it. Heaven help us with this lady---she's slower than a tortoise. Thanks Shru, for making your version sharper on the uptake!
And of course, the entire hospital sequence was well executed. The essential filminess was managed well, without letting it blow over into melodrama. 😊 I had an inkling when you'd told me about the fear and worry aspect earlier, in your comment on my thread, and it did give me a degree of pleasure to see Swara so openly concerned for Sanskaar (though of course, I felt pained that he was in pain! 😉)
Her confession of her feelings in front of the whole family is a personal favorite plot device of mine--since it mirrors Sanskaar's own confession of his feelings before the whole clan---and I was very happy to see it being executed with finesse here.
Chapter 4: Well, I liked how Sanskaar kept Swara "on hold", as it were, from end of Chap 3 till a little bit into this chapter. 😊 Sadistic, I know, I know. But the poor guy has been wearing his heart on his sleeve all this while---surely the Missus could do with some uncertainty, no? 😉 You know I hold DP's character in very high regard, and I do feel he will be a force for the good in SwaSan's life. So it was gratifying to see him play such a balanced, powerful role here. Coming to see them personally, telling them frankly what he'd been told by AP, Lakshya and Ragini, and listening to their side, allowing them to explain fully. I dearly hope, this is the DP we shall see in forthcoming episodes on TV, too.
And the final denouement---Ragini's full and final expose before the entire Maheshwari and Gadodia clans--had a ring of almost poetic justice to it. Lakshya's expose as an obsessive stalker--just as stark. Ragini at least has the dubious excuse of insanity, Lakshya is just plain creepy! 🤢 Can I say, I loved the slap he got? My sole complaint is, he didn't get one from Swara here. You should have made him get a couple na---especially after he shoved aside an injured Sanskaar? 😊 Would have been such a spectacular scene. 😆
About AP: As I'd mentioned in my last comment, I was quite disgusted with her overweening maternal selfishness, but I wanted to reserve overall judgement on her till I'd read the full story through. She still didn't come through too well---though my antipathy towards the AP in your tale is of course less than the intense negative feelings I have for your Lakshya and Ragini 😆---but at least, she didn't seem to try manipulating Swara. Whether this was because she didn't want to push her luck with Swara; whether she thought Sanskaar's "just so much and no more" promise, of talking to Swara about potentially giving a second chance to Lakshya, would be enough to sway her; or whether, after all, some innate sense of decency held her back, I'm not sure.
I would like to believe the 3rd, but I'm afraid, the scene in the end where she also attempts to back up Lakshya, inclines me to think of the second alternative. Oh well...I'm just glad our Golden couple had DP in their corner! 😉
And the ending---with a naughty Sanskaar saying he would like to get a proof of Swara's love, while simultaneously proving his love to her---on the bed, no less---was priceless innuendo 😳☺️. Was he at least planning to wait till his burns healed? Or would this "new fire" heal the scars left by the earlier one? 😆
Shru---again, I have rambled on and on. You've banned me from saying sorry. So I'll just content myself by saying--you know, why I write such detailed comments for you, Medhu and Saku, when you write about SwaSan. Need I say more??
