Again, another wonderful read! 😊
It was nice seeing the transition in Swara's realisation of her love for Sanskaar. Her hate towards the word itself due being let down by two men she probably expected the most out of at the time, but then being picked up and made whole again by the one who was meant to be her destroyer. Her recognition at his selfless love, just being simply too shocked to respond after knowing she had begun to trust again, with a completely different intensity than before and the privilege given to Sanskaar and him only.Lovely insight into what Sanskaar should've become (essentially a Laksh 2.0) and what he is. ⭐️ His immense love for Swara, the satisfaction he receives from Swara's happiness along with the unavoidable pain of not being more to her is beautifully penned down.Loved how you used the phrase 'blue', in different contexts of course, as a base to start off, then as a link to bring out the main gist and finally to close part 1. 😳🤣 🤣 Part 2 is a treat! Sensible Swara and suffering Laksh! ⭐️ That boiled milk should've been spilled somewhere else as well in my opinion, but then again we gotta think about Ragini and her haq. 😆😉Moving onto part 3, I adored Swasan's little reunion. It was a simply magical moment. Both of them holding each other's happiness in their hands, speaking very little and letting the eyes do all the talking. Your last sentence sums it up quite nicely! 😊
Hi Ros 🤗 Thanks again for that lovely comment.
In this one, I did want to explore why Swara feels so reluctant to accept Sanskaar's love for her, and indeed, her own growing feelings for him. I felt this could only be because of the trauma and disappointment she herself has suffered in regards to Love---both in her father letting her mother down; and later of course, Lakshya letting her down.
I wanted Swara to miss Sanskaar intensely, pine for him when he was away, and realize what he has come to mean to her. In the serial, he pretty much has his heart on his sleeve and Swara is (as of now) unaware of her feelings. Wanted to shake things up a bit in this OS. 😉
Thanks for those words about my description of Sanskaar's love for her. I think you hit the nail on the head right there, in the sense that it would have been very easy for him to become a Lakshya 2.0, clingy, possessive and selfish. But the fact that his love is so unconditional and selfless, is unique, and that in turn, probably reassures Swara that he is with her for real, for the "ever after" she always wanted.
I really enjoyed myself writing Part 2. Lakshya getting a "scalding milk facial", gave me such peace when I wrote it. 😆 He's had it coming for a long time! To be frank, I had toyed with the idea of Swara kicking him where it would hurt the most, but then I didn't want to run afoul of any forum rules. 😉
As for Part 3, I really was in SwaSan dreamland when I wrote that. 😳 Wanted to make it an intense, tender, yet subtle moment, with the promise of the "I love You" to come soon. ☺️ Its really true, that the most romantic things are sometimes the ones communicated through gestures and expressions. 😊
