I was going a tad 😆 😛 at Swara being so hesitant in voicing to Sanskaar that she wanted to take time to move the physical part of their marriage forward. That's the most natural request from any girl. I guess where the confusion came in, was the fact that at least in theory, she and Sanskaar have already been married for months. And both Sujata and Annapurna had been manipulated by Ragini to believe that Swara was merely stringing him along, not really committing to him...
This is the conundrum you have explored with such a delicate touch. Their marriage is hardly new, they are hardly strangers---in fact, it would be safe to say they are best friends. But Swara, only very recently, has started acknowledging her deeper feelings, her attraction for Sanskaar. Maybe that's the date to start reckoning their marriage from? From the time Swara felt married to Sanskaar...😊
The last exchange, with Sanskaar choking out a fervent "I Love you" to Swara, after promising that her comfort was his responsibility from now on, that he would always take care of her feelings, brought a lump to my throat, and a tear to my eye.
Bubble---I must tell you, I like the Lakshya you have created, which is a big deal for me, for I normally can't stand him. And I deeply admire the crisp, calm, capable manner the poor guy is handling Ragini. Hope she manages to get her act reasonably in order, and win a modicum of his genuine respect by being worthy of his love and faith.
And as for SwaSan...well do you really need me to tell you? 😛 They are pure magic, and I can't wait to read more about their story, how they move forward.
Thanks for the PM, Bubble!
Love,
