Angel. - Page 12

Dear Nimmi,

I saw this VM of 'lucky.m' showing journey of Angel and Kitten. I did not know the context of the FF but that video touched me. You could call it your personal ad for your FF but it did the trick, and I found myself reading 'not part of your heart, but your entire heart-Angel'. 😊

I am speechless; completely spellbound at the beauty of your imagination and your poignant and elegant way of writing it down for us readers. Truly hats off to you, a standing ovation and all the jazz for writing this absolutely exceptional piece of work.👏 I think you are planning to get it published (and I wouldn't be surprised if it is snatched up fast and published) but I want to thank you for not removing Angel from the forum. I don't know about others but I think I would have missed out on some tremendously exquisite writing and story by an absolutely magnificent writer/author and what is worse - I wouldn't have realized what I was missing out on. So a big THANK YOU!!!❤️

When I started off with the prologue and with the title as Angel, I thought perhaps it's a story between an Angel sent on earth (like in Legion movie) and it falls in love with a human but truly I never thought it would be something like this. This FF had everything a reader would want - intensity, emotion, action, sacrifice, remorse, brilliant villains and more brilliant heroes, fear, humor, excellent side characters and a whole new world of Assassins and underworld unleashed upon us.! You took me to another world and now I am left bereft. But no worries - I am going to jump over to your sequel. I have to say I wanted a story for Maverick (Maddy) and Boom' there it is - Hound's tale. *rubbing hands with undisguised anticipation and joy*😉. You never leave your readers disappointed.!

Coming to the story - this is going to be a huge, huge comment so hold on.

#Lakshya debacle: I was so happy when I realised that this character is not the main villain - I wanted to jump with joy. You started off building Gabriel's character, how he was found, how he became Gabriel and the intensity of Lakshya's hatred for Gabriel. The brilliant way you went about making RP narrate Gabriel's story was so enthralling. I was stuck to my seat and couldn't move - fevicol ka jod hai 😛 Lakshya is like a spoilt brat basking in the fame of his father, impulsive and highly tantrum throwing prone baby in the body of 26 year old adult. I swear I wanted to slap him when he wrecked his room because he did not get his favourite toy-the throne of God-father of underworld. So easily manipulated by his 'indulgent' uncle. I deduce RP felt ke dangle a carrot in front of this horse and he will do whatever you say. Although the fault truly lies with DP not telling Lakshya the truth from the start which led to resentment and feelings of abandonment leading to him being manipulated by the one person who showed him affection and consequently death due to betrayal. Hatred for Gabriel was not because he hated the Man, it was jealousy - Gabriel earned DP's respect and Lakshya didn't. DP's affinity to put Gabriel before Lakshya (although because he wanted to make Lakshya hate him and consequently the underworld) became Lakshya and DP's downfall. Bravo! So well displayed and so brilliantly written.

#Gabriel's almost death: Fabulous plan constructed by RP, Apte and Lakshya. I have always felt that if you want some one dead, do it at the first opportunity you get. One shot straight to the head and its over. Stewing and gloating to the victim is like presenting him the opportunity to make an escape.(Not that I have any experience😛) I am so glad the Lakshya Durga Prasad Maheshwari did not feel the same way. His resentment towards Gabriel truly and finally showed its face when he asked Gabriel to beg and plead at his feet for life. And that fantastic smile and devil may care attitude shown by Gabriel made me want to dance around the house. It takes some tremendous strength to look death in the eye and say F*** off.! That whole chapter gave the chills as well as excitement. Gabriel is truly a ruthless assassin with such magnificent ability to put aside emotions (ofcourse not when it comes to Swara). And then Gabby goes overboard and survives because he is Gabby and cannot die without taking his revenge. That brilliant dialogue by Gabriel - "Shoot Me! but make sure you kill me.because if I live there will be no place for you to RUN! There will be no place for you to HIDE! And there will be no place for you to..." "Live!!!" 👏 Wow!!!

#Swara's entry - Your portrayal of her oozes light. As dark as Gabriel is, Swara shines with such tremendous brightness and light and purity and innocence. Her entry chapter was so light hearted and heart warming. After the intensity of the first couple of underworld chapters her entry was a breath of freshness. Shrimp and Bozo. Gosh Nimmi you made me want a friend like Bozo so bad, friendship like this is a treasure and you portrayed their friendship throughout the FF with such sweetness, thank you for that. I was laughing my a** off with how Swara handled that Doctor. ROFL!🤣 A slip of a girl feared by this doctor. Too good!😆

#Angel-Kitten first meeting - Bwahahahahhaahha.🤣 I could not stop smirking, laughing and jumping around in excitement. This chapter was brilliance to the core. 'Waiting and watching!' Oh these witty quips are so fantastic to read. And Swara's internal monologue where she sympathizes with whoever threw Gabriel overboard. Hahahahah. I had tears in my eyes with all the laughing. Some more action here. Have I mentioned? - you write pretty amazing action. I could visualize the whole action sequence in the hospital like I was watching a movie.

#Swara's House: This whole part was out of the world. Their conversation on Gabriel's awakening, Swara's attempt at cooking, Swara-Bozo realisation of who is the house guest, Swara asking for interview, Angel-Kitten time spent together, KC confrontation... Everything was brilliant, spell binding, and so captivating. The simple way that Gabriel just became a part of Swara's life while he recuperated to the blow dealt to him. The way Swara's innocence and naivety captivated Gabriel. You have shown the flow of their relation from rescuer-rescuee to friends(unknowingly) to something much more so sweetly and subtly. I fell in love with Angel and Kitten. 😳

#The parting, the rescue and the 'excess baggage': Much needed parting and fabulously written too. The feeling of restlessness due to something missing was beautifully portrayed here. And what entry of Gabriel in that amazing sports car. Did you have to injure that poor poor car.? I mean seriously, did it have to be THAT car. 😭Coming back, Bozo! hahahahahahahhahhahahh.🤣 Oh that ride was hilarious, their talk was hilarious, their stopping and regrouping. ROFL!!!!!😆 This whole chapter really had me laughing out loud. Damn brilliant yaar Nimmi. 'Dil khush kar dita'. And so Angel and Kitten begin their journey. Those excuses by Swara were pretty lame and still Gabriel let her tag along. Yo, she's special alright. 😉

#Safe house No. 1, Scary Dragon, KC the rat - Gabriel finds Swara sexy! 😉 I loved that moment you gave us here. Their internal monologue was so cute. ❤️ The meeting with the Dragon. LOL.😆 It was damn funny. She ran from there so fast and KC, bechara gadha, ran with his tail between his legs. That conversation between Gabby and KC was such a delightful one. Haha. Gabby gave threats while acknowledging the fact that Swara is a force of nature in herself. This scene was fabulous. 😊

#Chess and Lakshya hunting: I love it when chess is used as a way to explain plans being made. Gabriel is truly an assassin worthy of being called a predator/lion of the jungle.

Level 1 - lost

Level 2 - distracted and consequently lost

Level 3 - won with dignity and honor

Third time is the charm 😉

Have I mentioned I love your action packed chapters? As you can see I love romance but I love action and planning and plotting more. *grinning deviously*😈😈 I felt like a wide eyed fangirl watching her hero walking by when Gabriel was taking those long range shots at RP, Apte, Lakshya and the cavalry. Yikes! Run Lakshya Run! The devil will not spare you. So we have Swara getting into trouble, again and Angel to the rescue. And some more Lakshya hunting! May I say the whole infiltration into the Alibaugh safe house was so out of the movies. I went gaga over it. Felt like Resident Evil, Die Hard rolled in one. 😈 So finally it was RP all along. I had my doubts when he said ok to Lakshya ka tantrums of 'I want Gabriel dead'. But finally it is out in the open. Gabriel spared Lakshya for DP and his own Baba. Al's because he knows the consequences. I want to mention one thing here - thank you for clearing out Lakshya's doubts and resentment towards his dad, you truly had me here when you showed how Lakshya died but at least he died with peace in his heart. RP is a delusional asshole but at least Lakshya parted from the world peacefully. Ah, Apte. So loyal. You are a true friend. And grief blinds a person to the truth in front of you. Brilliance at its core. Nimmi you've got some serious knack for devious plotting. And the intricacies and detailed ways you have shown RP's intelligence and plotting has made me a fan of your writing.

#Reunion a.k.a. Kitten in trouble again - what sweetness! My teeth hurt.! A completely cheezy knight in shining armour(read as angel in the dark)-esque chapter. Very clich and yet so damn appealing. Truly yaar, I want an angel for myself too... Where can I buy one? That pinky finger scene.! ❤️ Okay seriously, who wouldn't fall for this angel? *sigh*

#A father's agony, a loyal servant's pain and the misguided revenge - some intense emotions of DP. Gotta say had me teary eyed. Apte was going in the right direction and was conveniently steered along the other path. Well done RP. I love this villain - as delusional as he is - his brain works in amazing ways. Yikes! The power of whole underworld unleashed on our Angel. And his own master is coming into the ring. Poor Rudra a.k.a Rana. Contracted to kill his soul son. Intense emotional and slightly exasperating (RP) chapter.

#Three men and a story - finally some more background. I love backgrounds. They give the reasons for how a person is what they are at present owing to their decisions. Wonderful back stories. I absolutely loved it. Emotions at high point and some dreaded realities finally into the picture. We realise the love of the two fathers and the agony of the one son. How there is no person all light and all dark. Every one has both and some more than others. Beautifully written. *applauds*👏

#Hounds unleashed - I could kiss you for this 'in a completely sisterly fashion'.!😛 Seriously you made me so freaking happy when these new characters came into picture. I know the main reaction should be dread that 4 of the top 5 assassins are after Angel and Kitten but I am a huge sucker for a group - similar people going after the leads... More action without untrained dogs. Oh the wonderful picture and imagination.❤️ Absolutely loved the introduction of each assassin - Jack, Sasha, Viper and Maverick! And then Angels description too.

#A paradise between hell: Loved loved absolutely crazily loved this piece of heaven inserted between action packed revenge plotting and running drama. The two slowly but surely fell in love here and finally Swara learnt some defense. Thank you for small mercies - don't like damsels in distress much. Once okay, twice tolerable, third tak please learn to defend yourself. Fabulously done here. The whole home picturesque setting for SwaSan was fabulous and then their family arrives and we have baby Ragini ❤️ awww. The baby Ragini and Sanskaar moments are so adorable. Kitten cannot fathom why a baby would prefer Angel over her. Such an amazing scene. And finally. First kiss! Which was interrupted but so what? Brilliant brilliant brilliant.!😊

#Maverick - I love him. Forget Angel, can I buy a Maverick instead? Your OCs are amazing, but this guy that you have made is out of the world. I cannot tell you how relieved I was to have someone watching Angel's back. I desperately wanted another person on team Angel&Kitten and finally we have Maddy. Thank you sooo much for him. Humor disguising seriousness. Soul brother to the Angel. One special guy - a charmer and heart throb to the core with a brilliant streak of perceptiveness and loose morals. (oh and an assassin) Perfect bad boy with a possessive streak - every girls dream. 😉😛

#Hounds leashed - beautifully killed(weird description combining beautiful and killed but what to do?) each and every assassin, from Sasha to Jack to Viper. Justice to each and the world is free of some evil. Loved reading every bit of it. And in between we get SwaSan realisation, SwaSanMaddy bonding and brilliant brilliant humor. How can I forget Bozo. I love you for bringing him back. He is normal. In this absolutely crazy world one normal person. He is legit scared of assassins and knows to stay clear of them. There is not a single character that you have created that I don't like - yes even RP and Viper because you made them so brilliant that we can hate them. Nimmi I cannot stop praising this amazing work, this brilliant FF written by you, enough. Hats off.

#MastervsStudent - FathervsSon - I cried. The emotions floating here. Oh man.! 😭 Nothing more to say - just that I cried.

#Tables turned - finally some thinking over grief. Have I mentioned I love Maddy? Have I mentioned how awesome reading in between lines is? Have I mentioned how proud I am of Apte and DP who understood Gabriel's message? It was so obvious who the partner was - Rane. I hate politicians. But man, what brilliant strategy. It was like check in a chess game and as soon as DP and Apte understood, 3 more moves and check mate. You just cannot save yourself.

#Apte and Maddy and Bozo in one frame - Hahahahahahahah.🤣 I loved loved absolutely loved this chapter. I mean seriously, how can a chapter in which you have Maddy, then Bozo and finally Apte be anything but amazing.! I was laughing out loud so bad. Thank god my parents decided to step out of the house for sometime or I would have been admitted into the mental asylum here. Mahn Nimmi, your imagination and brilliant writing style just makes me wanna hug you tight and tell you to forget everything else and just publish books and I will keep buying them.

#The night before the war - eee. ☺️They made love!!!!!! Oh it was so beautiful. ❤️Such love, passion, intensity! Man. Give yourself a pat on the back for this chapter itself.!

#Almost end - so after much detection, torture, throwing of power and threats Rane is found. And heart failure to all present at his confession. My heart definitely was in my mouth when I realised Swara was in the lion's den where snakes roam around freely. I was like DP don't tell RP anything. Keep your mouth shut old man! But ofcourse, me screaming at my phone wouldn't change anything. So RP has gone into survival mode - marna hai toh sabko leke maro akele kyun maru? Swara is purity, innocence and light in this dark world of underground and invariable all these people(Gabriel, Maverick, Apte and DP) were united although with the motive to revenge Lakshya but moreso to save this girl who depicts that one thing they have all foregone - light. Fabulous portrayal of this when DP fights to save Swara by picking up his gun after years of abstinence.

#End - ofcourse no end can come without one of the leads being gravely shot. You killed me here. I mean I know he couldn't die but that raw pain in Swara was heart wrenching to read. The light diffused from within Swara. Kya emotions portrayal the. The various qoutes, poems and what not. Absolutely exquisitely written pain. Bravo! And ofcourse Gabriel has to die in the underworld for Sanskaar to live freely in the light.

#Happily Ever After - Destiny finally gave Angel and Kitten their happily ever after. Thank the god! That reunion. ❤️ and their house is being rebuilt!! Loved chapter 76 and the Epilogue to the core.

Big big jhappies, Nimmi.🤗🤗

Your dialogues - witty comments, quotes, your internal monologue, your intricate revenge plot, your villains, your OCs, your Maddy, your Bozo, your Pixie, your Angel and your Kitten. I don't know how you did it. I want to bow down to you for them. Thank you so very much for sharing this amazing world with me.

till then:

Forever and ever

Swara and Sanskaar

Angel and Kitten ❤️
