Some of the dialogues in this chapter had that air of almost aching, poignant loveliness, Saku. I had to catch my breath when I read them, and just HAD to go over them again. They left me with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Very well structured.
These exchanges were gems, literally. I am going to bookmark this chapter for future reading. 😊
""Perhaps it's because you belong to me, that sense had made me forget myself and remember you instead.""
""For what I'm feeling at the moment,' she said softly, pulling back her hand. His skin felt cold after losing her contact. Love is a very small word.'...
Ah words, knifes that kill tenderly with love."""
""I don't wish to take your life,' she said boldly but her cheeks turned a shade darker...
I know; it is yours from the beginning.""
...
""No Sanskar,' she objected softly. It's an unfulfilled dream.'
Yes, an innocent dream turned in to a nightmare. I might have been a fool to paint her.'
Do you hate her?'
No, what I loved she never was, what she is I never loved...
That is a painting of the woman I loved, of the dream I had...Kavita can never take that place. That painting is stroked with my thoughts, it is too beyond her capacity.""
I also loved the symbolism in the chapter, the painting of Kavita, for example is in evening colors. May I have the liberty of hazarding a guess, that the painting Sanskaar would now create, will have Swara as his muse, and will be in the blazing colors of a new sunrise? 😊 😳
Lakshya seems to be sinking lower and lower...at this rate, he ultimately has to rise somehow, he would soon hit rock bottom with nowhere left to sink, even for such a toad as himself! Asking Ragini, to "clear his path" to Swara, planning to ask her politely to leave with him, and failing that, being perfectly willing to use drugs!
Ragini: you have described her in a most serpentine manner, with her sibilant hisses and virulent plotting. 😉
So we are close to the finale, huh? Guess that means a heart pounding chapter 10. 😛 Can't wait. BTW please don't let Parineeta Bhabhi get too badly hurt in defending Swara. 😕 I like her here!
