Holaa Shruti...
2 updates in 2 days and one at pre dawn !! wah wah...i hope your guests were able to keep you awake during the day :)
Ragini...Ragini...Ragini...I love and hate her at the same time :P Well the love is for the way she's etched out. I kinda get her insecurity and her irritation at 'all sunshine and daisies' people. She feels she's been wronged all her life, being the second fiddle to her sibling and that feeling must be exhausting. It can't be joy when everyone loves the Swara, despite R being the epitome of grace and obedience. I wonder if she showed her true self (not the insane nut who wants to kill her sister), but possibly the one who is not always demure and graceful, she might have had more fans and less hatred for Swara (her festering wound. Btw that description was really apt, it showed exactly how much she hated S, reading it I was like, yup if I ever felt that way I would be making plans to annhiliate 😆)
Also how clever is she, she used Sanskaar's plan against him to further her goal as well as ensure nothing would point back at her. Amazing yaar !
Swara...lovely juxtaposition of a princess from the deserts who years for waters (reminding her of her legacy from long ago). I feel for her. It can't be easy post that incident...especially since she's quite uncertain about what happened except for feeling his presence and remembering that sense of security. Given that there is an uneasy sense of belief for her story, this lively being must feel caged in that palace. And to think even her friend is avoiding her, Poor thing, him shunning her affected her quite a bit.
Sanskaar : So PKJ arranged for the border disturbance, while he sets his plans at the palace in motion. Too bad he underestimated Ragini. I think there was a clear point where he knew he was one-upped by her. But what R didn't expect (neither did I), was how he'd change his plans and not give her the satisfaction of a pure victory. If she plans to get him and her sister out of the way, she'll get it except it was I think not what she expected and surely that's going to make her sit on tenterhooks now given she knows his own diabolical and merciless side.
S&S : Hurt, Surprise, Disgust, Recognition, fear, Befuddlement...Swara went through all of this in that short time span from when he doesn't respond to her wave until he whisked her away in the darkness. *It was only transitory, and yet seemed to stretch endlessly.* --beautiful imagery
Seeing R's duplicity, loved how his protector angle came forward, but at the same time not letting go of his original goal. He uses S to achieve his goals (and get that map and the mysterious bundlee...what is this bundle)...but at the same time is conflicted on seeing her expressions. This was definitely not the way he wanted her to see him, maybe he hoped she'd forget him as the mad prince who fled (?).
Swara and Sanskaar's rendezvous with R towards the end is my fav part of this chapter (and also because it got Sanskaar to use the choiciest snake metaphors for her 😆). I think when the illusion of love shatters it hurts, and when it comes from your sister there is hardly any balm for it.
So they've galloped away into the night. The palace is filled with R's cacaphonious screaming and one mysterious figure watching the entire drama (who is this other person and how do they fit in within Sanskaar's plans ?)
Awaiting the next chapter to see how the befuddlement clears for Swara, how she moves ahead with the heartbreak and how she interacts with Sanskaar. I know she won't make it easy for him !!
Yayyy for the new beginnings and some much needed freedom from the palace of the Ms.
P.S : I totally agree with your comment on the show never having any friends for the main characters. Also, why does nobody ever go to work, how do they sustain...*what does shekhar do for a living??*. I shall leave you all these questions to answer, in addition to the ones around DK :)
Hope you had a good Sunday and got some rest. See you next week :)
