What a beauty of a chapter !! So happy you chose to make this SwaSan centric 🤗
Back on the road...I can feel Swara's weariness and also sense Sanskaar's urgency to get to his destination. That entire paragraph did well to establish the effect of nature on a long journey but also briings about the strength both the characters show to not succumb to it. Swara displaying her grit and earning his respect, making him further resent his own behaviour but being cognizant enough to recognize it wouldn't do to dwell too much on those feelings. The fact that he's concerned for her safety and hence putting them through this frenetic pace is total heart melt moment !!
The description of the mansion and how they found it, it almost reminded me of safe houses from Harry Potter...hehe only he who knows the secret can discern it :) It seemed like a mirage that they stumbled upon. Have to give points to Swara for unrelentlessly trying to leave...and Sanskaar's response is pure gold :) Blunt dismissal of her unvoiced fears - loved his fiestyness !! Her subconcious has done a better job at assessing his character !!
Swara getting a chance to see him in his element, a glimpse of what the prince might have been before all the treachery was amazing ! Each of these moments will make her realise what the old man said (just like you said they would :))
He senses her and puts on the mask of the ruthless prince again...waiting for the relationship to grow to the point where Sanskaar sees no need to wear a mask in front of her. Where she's privy to his unbridled laughter and joy :)
Lol@ her attack. I'm seriously chuckling on how she doesn't give up !! And I have to agree with his reaction, but he has to know stupid or not, she won't stop trying !!
Was totally expecting PKJ to appear...and good naturedly rib his friend about the princess. Sushena (interesting name) the loyal. I'm totally loving this entire side of Sanskaar's life. His friends, his team, his army. That kind of respect, loyalty and camaraderie is hard to come by. Their interaction with Swara brought that out perfectly. The ability to check their emotions and give S enough respect that she deserves as a princess, it comes only to the best !
PKJ captured...nahiii...You brought out Sanskaar's pain very well...that which comes only for best friends and brothers. I think its not a wonder Lakshya hated PKJ...maybe he stole all of Sanskaar's affections.
Coming to Lakshya and the others. Yaar 3rd person mein bhi disapponiting :) How quick to judge and disown. DDD and Sanskaar I guess pegged him correctly. Tsk. Heartbreak galore for Swara !! not that it mattered what L thought, but the rest...poor thing.
Question : Why did Sushena think Sanskaar's reaction to Swara's plight was surprising (and also his decision to take her along to save her life) ? Is it the level to which it impacted him ? Because surely anyone as noble as Sanskaar would feel for someone's genuine pain and would want to protect someone from an unjust fate. Maybe he's reading between the lines...
Question 2 : Does Swara hear Sanskaar's exchange with Sushena regarding his plans ?
Swara and Veer...hahaaa (btw have to tell you this...my godsons are Veer and Vayu...you've got an element of both here ❤️). The horse also recognizes his future mistress, though he's probably testing her grit...Sushena quick to recognize the behaviour. That makes two he doesn't understand :P
And finally the icing on the cake...the conversation ❤️.
Nothing does it like a conversation. I guess she recognizes the vibrations in his voice, that tell her all will be fine. He'll make it alright !!
Loveee this truce they've agreed to. Iske baad it'll only be progress :) Swara discovering mroe of her handsome prince, the prince discovering more of himself. Additionally what they have to contend with, half siblings, impulsive cousins, the cavalry !! Can't wait for this weekend when I'll get to read all of that. Woot !!
👏👏
comment zyaada lamba hogaya na ? Will try succintness next time :)
