You are exactly right - he is so used to focusing on the other end, he hasn't paid attention to what's happening within HIM.

And she, who was content with the situation, now has become nuanced enough to know that his feelings matter... but he can't see what has suddenly changed...

"Love" is a label... and he already checks quite a few of the conditions that people usually consider important.

She is high priority to him

She is 'His'

He has affection, respect for her

He is attracted to her

He is passionate in all dealings with her

He is committed to her

It ought to be enough. 😲

But is it? What's missing? Serious question! 🤓😳

Eh, sorry to inflict my storyteller confusions onto you - you should be spared that 😛

But to go back to a point you made... you're right, he's not consulting her, or convincing her... because he doesn't know what to say himself, and if it will be enough to hold her... so he's going to actions - which do speak very very loud. Will she hear it, though?

Arggh! it's too hot to be cooking up stories...

Awww !! 🤗🤗 Honestly, its a privilege and pleasure for me that you are discussing these things with me - I have the greatest respect for you and your writing.

Yeah actions do speak louder than words - but words do need to be said sometimes. Esp when Ragini is so insecure and so guilty about the way that their marriage began.

Also - the headspace she's in - she might just construe this action to be another one in the deal that he promised her - that she'll remain his wife and he'll treat her with respect and affection, she seems to be that unsure about this. For someone who's the way she is, its quite possible that she's bucketed all of his actions as a part of the "duty" or "obligation" he's taken up, in respect of an "imbalanced woman". I'm feeling really, really sorry for her - its so hard to exorcise these demons once they've taken root in you. And she's never seen Lakshya lose control over her - IDK if I'm making any sense - he's so controlled and focussed towards "managing" her, as she sees it. She's not seen him say, feel jealous or possessive or whatever - so she might think that all of his actions are a part of the "bargain". After they struck the deal - his behavior has been consistent as she's been getting better. His feelings for her have been growing, but she probably can't see that as he's been so balanced and controlled in front of her.

So she's worried that he doesn't love her, and she's imposed on him far too much already. And Lakshya is also not really looking inwards right now - so yeah, this is a pretty pickle to be in. 😆😆

And I know what you mean about the heat - its quite debilitating, and its only March. Sigh. I can't even badger you to update soon - since you're already pareshan about the heat !! (Doesn't mean I'm not wishing for it tho' 😛😛)

Bubble dearest 🤗

Here comes my comments for parts 62,62 and 64..I am so sorry for the late comments😳Just now caught up with the last three updates..😊

So our Ragini is feeling suffocated with the mistakes she had committed to Lakshya and Swara as well..hmm..interesting😊😊 and she wants to repent by letting Lakshya free from this forced marriage..

Lakshya is right, she is not balanced, its her way or high way..😆

She is not thinking about him, she was selfish and she always will be selfish..Its just that she is not realizing it..First of all, she wanted him and got him, and now she wants some solace to her guilty mind and she is stubbornly convinced that divorce would do good to both of them..

And now what has Lakshya decided to give her wayward thoughts a rest, he has promised to marry her again -- marry her happily and willingly..😊 That is nice..

Swasan moments were also nice..👏
