Beautifully written Shruti. very descriptive. .. I could actually imagine the desert scenes while reading..
..Can totally understand Swara's fear.. after all the stories she has been told about "traitor" sanskar and now to find that he is not mad at all and also that she is his unwanted hostage.. I'm sure she will make more attempts to escape..π²
.. also revelation of Ragini's hatred and must be truly shocking to swara.. .. Ragini obviously has made sure that everyone believes her version of the events... π‘..afterall, there is no one to refute her . at the moment, she has the upper hand in this entire episode... am eager to know about Laksh's& Rana's reaction to all this.. will Laksh try to rescue his fiancee.. will there be some kind of confrontation bet the two brothers.. ?
oh..forgot to add.. the old man seems to be very canny... I got the feeling that he's guessed about sanskar's true identity...
