Wonderful couple of chapters, Bubble sweetheart!

Thanks so much Viji!

I loved the tender moments Swara & Sanskaar have together in Chapter 54. So hubby--wifey, happy domesticity! Swara toweling Sanskaar's damp hair, Sanskaar hardly willing to let her go for even a moment, hugging her so very close. 🤗

Sanskaar gently asking her if she'd missed him that much, and Swara telling him it was all a gehri chaal to ensure he doesn't go away for more than 2 days without taking her along, felt so real! Completely true to couple talk! And then their banter about the supposed gudiya japaan ki 😆 and their kiss. 😳 Lovely!

Sanskaar, our man so thrilled to be in a real marriage at last! 😆😆

The way Uttara and Parineeta were pulling Swara's leg, singing teasing songs and describing to Sanskaar in vivid detail how his wife was pining for him, was hilarious. As was Uttara's re enactment of the SwaSan reunion hug, imitating Swara's running into Sanskaar's arms, by jogging in slow motion across the back lawn. 😆🤣 Why don't we get such moments in the show? There we have hysterical melodrama most of the time. 😕

Yes, I do wish they would flesh out other characters... let us have some fun, you know instead of tumbling from catastrophe to catastrophe!

Lakshya has really started yearning for and desiring Ragini's company, hasn't he? 😉 He probably hasn't thought it through yet, but not having her with him for 12 days has certainly bugged him. Though he appreciated Ragini taking care of Swara, he also feels a tad sulky about Ragini and Swara having all that sister time together the past few days, leaving him to mope alone!! My, My! Things certainly are progressing fast.

He thinks he's done his absolute selfless best... but it's just been too long! 😆😆

And in Chap 55, I just loved the way Lakshya tried his best to awaken Ragini without actually shaking her awake! Ahem ahem, he certainly was in the mood for a romp, wasn't he? But then why on earth blame his poor wife, if he comes smelling of beedi smoke? Arre, a simple matter of brushing his teeth and washing his face would have sufficed, na? 😉

That whole stretch of him being angsty and throwing a tantrum like an 8 year old was funny! He really seems to have taken Ragini's temporary disinterest in canoodling with him, very very seriously!!

She's trying to make up, but miyan is showing cold shoulder, poor girl! Their first NORMAL fight, I guess... but she doesn't realise it... still making mountains out of molehills 😆

I loved the way Sanskaar so calmly and coolly walks upto him in the office, and while not at all being confrontational (whipping through a magazine in fact), asks him what has happened, why Lakshya is being so rude and fierce with the office staff, his PA, and even cut Ragini so badly that morning.

And now presumably, a confused Lakshya is going to get some bro-talk (or at least, get to share his thoughts, man to man) with his Bhai. Nice to see the brotherly bonding between them.

And oh, I must tell you Bubble---so glad you give a real life touch in your works. Ragini's graphic design electives in college, her being good with visual design of presentations...we never, ever got to see any concerns and interests like this in the serial! It was nearly always drawing room and kitchen politics, even the music the sisters were so passionate about, just vanished from the scene.

Thanks a lot - I like a bit of background... and it's fun...

Superbly done. Thanks for the PM, and waiting for Chap 56. BTW, just out of curiosity, do you envisage hitting a century on the chapter count? Don't worry---the more the merrier!! Just asking, that's all. 😊

Hahaha, no no... not quite. I haven't written the end but I'm almost done - a century would test everyone's patience. 😲

This got into this many chapters because I wanted to 'Show not Tell' at least 75% of the time... so I wrote scenes that depicted rather than informed. Just a self indulgent experiment... 😳 🤓 I must thank you again for reading... and reading so SO well! You're a joy!

Just now read chapters 52-55,,,😃😃😃
and I wanted to say that I just loved all the four chapters..❤️

Sujata's dialogue was damn funny in part 52..😆 She was teasing Swara a lot, but when she said that she loves Swara now ,I loved her..😳
Swaragini patch up scene was nicely written Bubble..Loved the way Ragini asked her forgiveness...and Swara as usual forgave her with a big heart👍🏼

Swasan reunion after the trip was so lovely... And loved the Swasan scenes after that also..☺️ you always make me go to Swasan la la la dreamworld..🤗 A big hug to you for that😃
Uttara was funny while she was teasing Swasan by running in slow motion😉😛

But what is up with Lakshya now..At first it seemed to me that he was missing Ragini..But then when she scolded him for smoking beedis, why he took that comment to his heart What happened..

But I don't think its has got something to do with the ending of his Mission to redeem Ragini..Its something else..

Hmm we will know it in the next part..Sanskaar bhai is after that already😆 Loved the way he kicked Lucky😛
