Hot scene for Swasan eh? Hmm. Ok - you come and stand in my defence when people hurl tamatars at me for being too provocative, theek hai?

Bubble dear..Just now read all the latest four chapters from PART 65-68.. 😊
All of them were awesome..👏
Starting off with Ragya marriage, this time as per Lakshya's wish, made Ragini so happy and contented..The way you explained those marriage rituals along with blissful details was superb yaar.😳

Swasan also are really happy with Lakshya's decision, and Sanskaar even gifted the couple with a Spa resort booking..Wow..that was so sweet of him..😃
And as a result we got lovely scenes of both Swasan and Ragya..both couple enjoying inside their respective rooms..☺️
Awesome yaar..I loved it a lot..😳😳

Dear Bubble,

I did res for Chapters 61 to 63 on some page but now that you have already written up to Chapter 68, I am letting that res lapse.

The dip in the cold waters was truly a cleansing one - Ragini truly starts her introspection - the first step being her acknowledgement to Sanskaar that she should have listened to him and halted her descent. His reply is typical Sanskaar, no brushing it

off - a simple acceptance of her statement immediately followed by an assurance that remorse and actions to suit repentance would be more than enough to atone. And Laksh was worried, he is truly genuinely in love with Ragini, also, how typical of him, he is quick to comment (when Sanskaar named their WhatsApp group) but is reluctant to be the admin. 😆

Ragini's introspection continues into the next chapter and you have delved into her psyche so well - she finally realises that more than anyone else it is Lakshya whom she has hurt and ruined the most - in spite of all she did, Swara did come out better as she found Sanskaar but Laksh had lost everything.

And so she decided to set her mistakes right, not understanding the once again she was doing what she felt what right, albeit with good intention, without considering what Laksh might want. But what I really loved was Laksh (God, there appears to be a danger that I am falling for the Laskh you sketch - how is that such a beautiful viable character arc was completely overlooked by the CV) - he is so balanced and he perfectly understood Ragini - her emotional swing from one extreme to the other, her reluctance to accept that he could truly be in love with her and his firm dismissal of his fears.

But Ragini's fears are not put to rest so easily, she got the crux of her fears right - in the beginning, she had been so blinded by love and jealousy that the only thing she had wanted was to possess him but now that she was working her way through retrospection, remorse and regret, she realised that she wanted him to love her, she knew that he had promised her to be with her but loving her was not part of that promise. Which is why she doubts that Laksh is by her side only because he is a man

of his word and not because he loves and wants her. He hit the nail on the head - in his opinion - well she was right, he did not choose her then but he could choose her now! (Poor SwaSan - why are they always at the receiving end😭)

The wedding - another impulsive and hyper one - but this time, both are willing parties - hopefully with this act of Laksh, Ragini would get all answers to her unspoken questions and confused emotions and Laksh realises that his actions have been spurred because he has completely fallen for Ragini and is desperate to hold on to her. Not surprisingly Swara and Sanskaar realise the meaning the undercurrents - trust them to know.😉

The honeymoon treat to Laksh and Ragini - Sanskaar's master stroke - he gets to have Swara to himself, undisturbed by Laksh / Ragini and also makes the 'newly wed' couple happy.

And finally, the last two chapters - a blissful concoction of love, desire, longing, gentle hugs, spiced with teasing and the inevitable hitches in performances.

But what was most striking is the differences between the couples - (I had read a an analogy about book lovers and it is appropriate to extend it here IMHO) - SwaSan's relationship is a 'courtly' one with emotions of sensitivity and care for the other being ruling one - hence all their relationships, physical or otherwise are slow, sensual and always mindful of the other's needs and desires above one's own. RagLak's relationship is more of a 'carnal' one with the basic underlying desire is for one's own satisfaction, primarily, hence the 'hot and hasty' trend in all their dealings with each other. And please I am not being judgemental at all, that was just my understanding of both the couples.

Do update soon.

love

Nyna

PS: one small request, once you complete this FF would it be possible to post all the chapters in continuous posts on a new thread, makes re-reading easy (not that chapters being in different posts has deterred me but...😳)
