Wanderer Returneth. 😎
Well look who's here *giving an evil laugh from my hiding place behind a tree* 🤣
I had to break my vanvaas and come here to comment, I just HAD TO.
Okay enough with my nautanki now , let's get to this masterpiece right here
I just read chapter 18 and it was so worth the wait Shru! So brilliantly written, the way you described Sanskaar creating havoc because His Swara was harmed, AH ! And I have already told you how great you are with imagery and I'm telling you again, you're brilliant ! One of the many reasons DK is so precious to me is because the way you write it is like a movie, it has all the elements perfectly blended and you write everything fron the action to the war strategies, the plotting, the drama, the romance EVERYTHING with equal aplomb, it's like we're transported to that era ❤️!
And Pawan is FINALLY here Yippeee! I love this guy already, Sanskaar's brother and the perfect partner, just as valiant and righteous ⭐️. And I LOVED how Pawan noticed the change in Sanskaar and his equation with swara, that was priceless ❤️
Oh and Pawan killed Bagri, yaay! You go Pawan . And I LOVED the SwaSan part, I don't have enough words to describe it Shru, their part though in the midst of all the battle gore stole the show and was BEAUTIFUL beyond waords. There weren't many dialogues exchanged between them but their silence and eyes and hearts did the talking !. I cannot wait to read about these two and pawan in the next update ❤️. And I also liked the Maheshpur Palace part, it was very well done and Janaki is one of my favorites, she reminds me of your AP in many ways, queens in the truest sense 👏
Update soon Shru, can't wait

Lots of love,
Yukthi.

wow.. beautifully written chapter 18.. and totally pulsing chapter... sanskar was fighting like a mad man just so that no one would harm his precious one.. I was so scared that he would be hurt... thankfully Pawan reached in time...👏👏👏👏.. but how did pawan know where was Devendra's camp and that swasan had been captured ???

loved the way sanskar took care of his precious swara.. even pawan sensed the change in him.. and its gr8 that sanskar's old tormentor bagri is dead.. 👏👏👏

what next ... now sanskar has two parts of the map.. what is his next move.. will swara be taken back to MM ???

Oh My God, Shruti - this waa a heart in the mouth, harrowing read.😲


Despite being forewarned (Thanks dear !) or perhaps because of it, Devendra evokes terror and repulsion. And Swara - our super brave, heroic Swara ⭐️- admiration for her sheer guts to take on that lecher.👏

I am so thankful that you didnt do an Indian TV on us and leave us with an update that left her still at his mercy and us imagining the worst. Big hug. 🤗

That she, in spite of having been maliciously played with and then mauled by that animal😡, was still capable of connecting with her prince and reading his message, is awesome!👏

Moreso, that she used the brief chance she got, to attack that lech back AND free her Sanskaar - Wow ! 😃You have made her truly worthy of respect ! 👏

So far, we had seen a Swara that won our hearts because she was a truly good human being - compassionate, honest, guileless and courageous in the face of the worst adversity. Someone you would love for being unblemished. 😊

But now, she is so much more ! Here is a Rajput princess who can fight her own wars.⭐️ We have seen her kill a man in self defence (with the help of brave Veer) and now turn around what was a lost cause into a very possible victory. ⭐️⭐️

With Sanskaar free and raring for revenge, she has won the right to be by his side as he fights his way out of this skirmish as well as the larger battle he has to win.😃

Prince Sanskaar has truly met his match ! 😃A valiant hero with his own valiant princess! ❤️❤️

Thank you for a super update ! 🤗Eager to read the next one - for them to win their way out of this, ⭐️for Sanskaar to beat that animal 😡to a pulp AND for this awesome duo to finally acknowledge their love for each other !😳

And to agree, that the Princess needs to be where she belongs..(come hell or high water) - right beside her Prince !❤️

P.S. The update was so Swara dominated that I missed mentioning how well portrayed is Sunny boy's mindless desperation, his tearing need to get his hanfs free so he could save his beloved princess. That fleeting kiss on her head is a masterstroke (and a signature kiss of our golden couple even in the TV version)! 😳😃 Love Swasan and that last part ! ❤️❤️


Dearest Pic 🤗

Was so thrilled to see such a detailed comment from you- it made me super happy! I'm sorry for the late reply- things are kinda crazy! Haha, I believe I have raised quite a few readers' BP! I deliberately put the warning in for that one! Seems like I can't even do gruesome chapters in half measures! And oh no- I couldn't be mean enough to leave that on a cliffhanger 😃

I am glad you liked that the "soul connect" is what really saved the day as such for both of them at the end. I love strong women as can probably be told from Annapurna, Janaki and I wanted Swara to be in that mould too 😃. A heroine worthy of the hero is what makes a truly good story no? So as Sanskaar is so brave, he deserves a worthy life partner and no one should doubt it so the credit Swara gets pleases me greatly. You have summed their "match" so aptly Pic 👏.

Thank you honey for such kindness and love! I owe a lot of all this to so many friends who keep me going 😳. Not sure you read 18 yet but some dreams you might have to wait a while to see fulfilled 😉 but hope the wait is worth it! But yes the Prince and his Princess need to be together, if only they would stop for a moment and see that eh?!
And thank you for the comments about showing Sanskaar's pain and the last SwaSan part- I wanted the simple kiss to say much and it seems it did!

Do keep reading and chatting here whenever you can!

Love,
Shru xoxo

Swara and Sanskaar (whether both know it or acknowledge it or accept it) - they are bound together and they will get through this hell and are halfway through it already.

Okay - so Swara did have the gumption to go through the plan - however, ill-advised it was. As we guessed, Sanskaar gauged her intentions and was anguished for her. In the end she did quite pull it off, managing to wound Devendra (a little lower, a little harder could have gashed his throat, though Swara might have had a hard time recovering after inflicting a fatal wound, however deserving the assailant was of being brutally hacked). She is truly courageous - she did what had to be done despite being terrified, in spite of all odds being stacked against her.

And Yesss - It was Bagri.

The end was awe inspiring, could truly visualise it - Sanskaar, holding the sword, shielding Swara, ready for the battle! The soldiers have no idea that what is to be unleashed on them - for Sanskaar is like "You can't scare him - he has known fear beyond every other." -( Grapes of Wrath)

Sanskaar has already faced his greatest fear of almost losing Swara, nothing much can scare him now!

BTW: Is is Karma (lovely symmetry if it can be called that) that Swara picks the very sword which Devendra lays down moments before, which is the Maheswari heirloom sword?

love,
Nyna

PS: In case you are wondering on the short comment - most of the chapter was about Devender - I detest (this is the kindest word for my feelings) men who believe that women exist only to 'befriend' and 'entertain' them (my chauvinism is so deep-seated that even if the woman is 'willing', I detest the man). As a writer, I am sure that this is what you would want to be conveyed and you have succeeded superbly. 👏👏


Nyna dearest 🤗

Lovely quote from you again- we share the same love of quotes it seems:). Absolutely well said about SwaSan- they will get through as they make hell bearable for each other and once through, it's only together they can find heaven!

Swara did have the gumption indeed, even though it led her somewhere one wouldn't wish on their worst enemy . Sanskaar didn't doubt her for even a second- he knows she is incapable of cheating anyone and as he also knew Devendra he was petrified, and with reason too. I wanted Devendra left alive unfortunately so she couldn't gash anywhere else and some have asked me about blinding him, but I didn't want that either 😆.

Of course you were right, my uncannily perceptive friend 😉. I had been smiling reading that comment!

Thank for loving the end! Wanted a hopeful end as the rest was so grim! Another quote to love- 👏👏. And totally right- nothing but anything to do with Swara can really scare Sanskaar. Yes, I wanted the sword to be laid down, picked up and handed to its rightful owner by the one person who is now his most prized treasure 😳.

Re the PS: the length of the comment is irrespective when the quality is like yours 😃. I definitely intended that reaction for Devendra- have genuine hatred for people like that and whilst maybe not as extreme or as drastic as Devendra, I cannot stand people like that if ever they cross paths in life! 🤢🤢

Lots of love always,
Shru xoxo

Hey Niti 🤗

I am sorry dear- I know it was a harsh chapter to read but what to do- the story I need to tell demanded it. The most striking of stories to me show people getting over overwhelming odds so here too hopefully we do and shall see that 😊. Yes exactly- Sanskaar knew straightaway but as you say the evil psycho did too and poor Swara paid the highest price for that . Each of them was intent on saving the other only- in a tragic way that was meant to show the beauty of their love and relationship. Oh yes, if Sanskaar got free, Dev was in no doubt what could happen to him!

Glad you liked the way the chapter ended at least and the forehead kiss 😃. And yes the chapter did belong to Swara but I wanted Sanskaar's agony to reflect too. And I hope 18 makes you happy as horsie is in it 😉

Thank you Niti and catch you on 18!

Love, Shru xoxo

Are you alright? I can very well imagine how drained out you might be after writing such an episode. It is truly taxing for the writer, isn't it?
Do you realize how gifted you are? you have the ability to grab the reader's throat with your words and demand 200% attention from him / her.
Your words!! They are like a film running in front of our eyes. I literally had to stifle my screams of rage and to call for some divine intervention. But it is not required, is it?Our brave heroes are more than capable of dealing with the situation.
Swara!! Our brave Swara,My hero. managed not only to save herself but also to free her dark knight. And now I am completely sure that he will get out of it along with Swara. But I seriously dread the aftermath of it. How devastating it will be? Will Swara ever be able to come out of it? Will Sanskaar ever be able to forgive himself? Oohh... ! The helplessness and the mind numbing fear they both must have felt!!! This fear can actually break the strongest, but then again I have a very strong faith that this horrifying incident will forge a bond between them with steel, which will be impossible for anyone to break.

Shruti, a small request. Take as much time as you want, but please, please, please give a slow painful, agonizingly painful and horrifying death to this Devendra and his men.We Swasan fans will feel rewarded. Thank you.
Love❤️
Geet


Dear Geet 🤗

Ahhh- your so sweet! And it made me feel good when you asked if I was ok- that chapter was indeed traumatic to write- I haven't been sleeping too well since. Actually the whole of the current series of chapters is rather gruelling- so much to deal with in terms of really dark things too, but that is part of the story. Life cannot be all sunshine and roses always so I felt I had to show that too.

I am so so touched and humbled by your comments about the writing- 😳😳, thank you truly!

And yes, these two are an army in themselves and their love is so pure, they have the divine on their side anyway! The aftermath- ; yes, that cannot be pleasant but let's see how Sanskaar (mainly) handles it. I have some thoughts that I need to translate across. You nailed it with your analysis of what the eventual effect of this is to be! 👏 The forging of an unbreakable bond!

Re your request- I have dealt with the men (or a lot of them) in 18 but I fear I'll temporarily disappoint you about Devendra- but keep faith 😉.

Lots of love,
Shru xoxo

Shruti,

I know I have never commented before. But that in no way means I have not wanted to. It is simply how brutish time is, more than 10 minutes spent on this site on working days is impermissible to me. But if I do get those 10 minutes, I choose to spend them reading The Dark Knight.
I would first of all want to thank you, from the deepest bottoms of my heart for being brave enough to start a story so utterly fascinating. I have never been in love before the way I am right now with SwaSan. To call them my obsession would be an utter disgraceful insult to not only their pure and sacred bond, but also to the immense adoration I have for them. The way Sanskar loves her, like his every breath, every heart beat depends on her-it is truly unfathomable.
And if I were to speak of your story, I would fall short of words. There is probably no adjective I can find, truly powerful enough to even attempt to describe your dark knight. The character in itself is so powerful-his heroism, his unwavering confidence and his sense of righteousness, I am beyond awed. Having lived a life of such grief and loss, he still has the rational part of him functioning, it is unbelievable. The more I read, the more I seem to fall in love with Sanskar. And I know he would have defeated all those that came in his way with no effort whatsoever, but now he is helpless, having lost his heart.
The intensity of his feelings is such in magnitude, that I being a reader feel it to my depths. This particular chapter of yours was so mighty, that you almost had me trembling by the end of it. I am literally fighting with time right now, but I cannot resist saying all that I have in mind since the beginning of this story.
I know this being one from times people like us have not seen, it cannot easily be imagined. But to have someone like you write it-trust me, the vision is in front of my eyes. The flow, the pattern that you have brought in-it really is commendable. There is nothing overly dramatic or unbelievable about it. Every next chapter is like this is the only possible thing that could have happened after the one prior to it. And I have no words for the way you are taking forward SwaSan's love story.
Trust me, I felt his anguish this time, of seeing his precious beloved being stripped by a disgusting leech like Devendra. Our little Swara, too brave for her own good- oh, what to do.
But its time to rejoice. Our hero is free. And Swara is his biggest strength. If he has her, Sanskar can fight the world. What are few soldiers, then?
I know the cycle of life, and I deeply appreciate the fact that you manage two chapters weekly for us. And the unexpected surprises that we have been receiving, in the form of early updates in the last few days, I literally want to stand up and solute you.
If you can do so much for your readers, trust me Shruti, I promise you, I will make it a point to give you all of my views on every chapter henceforth-no matter what.
Between two updates, you literally keep me on tenterhooks. I wait so desperately for each progressive update, I almost want to laugh at my own childish glee when I see there is an update from you.
Keep this story going Shruti. Long and long and as long as you can. It is my most favorite thing. I forget the nuances of my own life for a while, so deeply I am affected by it. It has made me believe more firmly in the existence of such overpowering love and desire, and even though it is fiction, I sort of ridiculously refuse to let myself out of it. And you have made me fall deeper in love with Swara and Sanskar. I have only two words for Dark Knight, devastatingly deep-seated and archaic.
Thankyou Shruti.
Yours in crazy admiration,
Anu


Dearest Anu 🤗

This was one of those comments that I will treasure always and I have read and re-read multiple times in a very testing week! A massive thank you to you for this. Sorry for my late reply and also if my revert doesn't do any justice to your original comment- I am still rather overcome and don't actually know what to say 😳😳. All I know is I am truly grateful! And please don't thank me! If you guys did not read and love it so much, however would it motivate me to keep going, even when I endlessly stress about the quality of updates and the content?!

It made me emotional reading your comment for a number of reasons but I view SwaSan and their bond like you do- a deep soul connect that will last through the ages, the sort of love that inspires sagas to be written; this story cannot compare but is just an attempt to explore a relationship that transcends all sorts of boundaries and overcomes all difficulties.😳

I have always loved the romance of times gone and when I set out to write this it was an experiment. I know also that there may be facets there which may come up short from a historical perspective but I so visualise that world and SwaSan in it. When I read how you read the story- it actually made me really emotional!

I try to make at least 2 chapters as I know how much people await the updates due to all the comments and the lovely messages I get but sometimes it does become slightly stressful such as this week! But again, each time someone is happy with an update, it makes it all worthwhile! I would be thrilled and extremely grateful to have your take every time you can manage it 😳😳.
And ahhh- I am honestly falling short of words to reply to the last part of your comment. I feel like I've used that blushing emo overmuch but Anu, please know that you have made this humble writer feel like a million bucks and for this and your incredible love you have expressed so so beautifully for DK- I will be in your debt!!

Sending you lots of love and energy!

Shru xoxo

Hey,

I've been off for so long! Missed 15, 16 and 17. Apologies. Was not in town.
This one would be really long Shru!

Damn, that end to 14 didn't see a progression. 😲 I was expecting some more light moments. But tbh, I think I liked the way you weaved it. I have got a feeling leaving this light moment for now, would end up giving us a much more intense scene between the two later on 😳😉
Anyway, the way sanskaar was avoiding Swara's gaze to protect himself from drowning in her eyes😆. Their silent communication through eyes. These two are *I don't have words to describe them*❤️. Amidst everything, all they think about is the other person's safety and welfare. Giving us relationship goals ❤️ Swara's state of panic on seeing sanskaar being lashed out on his back. 😭

Omg, Devendra is like the most filthiest character I have ever read. His lecherous comments and the way he pries swara, is absolutely disgusting. The immediate panic and fear that grips sanskaar for swara when he realizes Devendra's intention connects with us so much. How he hides swara from the prying eyes everytime!
How swara, enters into this gamble staking her dignity just to protect sanskaar and buy him some time. These two are aww.
I have one doubt, how was he so sure that the bearded man would be sanskaar only ?
Also,was he aware of that sanskaar kidnapping swara plot ? Or he thought that they have actually eloped ?

Chapter 17

Could you please stop writing such gripping chapters and plots ?
No! Don't do that. I adore them.❤️
These angst full chapters are so gripping. The way you have written the scene - Flawless👏. one can actually feel each and every emotion and can feel the fear and panic for swara and sanskaar envelope them as well.

There can be no punishment more grave for sanskaar than seeing his life, Swara's dignity being violated in front of him and partly because of him. I can not imagine the guilt and worry and HELL that he would have gone through when Devendra was doing such heinous things to his life! The way you have penned the scene, the reactions and the emotions I literally had goosebumps on my skin. I am actually at short of words to describe the plethora of emotions I went through while reading this chapter. I won't be detailing out the instances of Devendra's assault because i just cant make myself do that.

This has cemented their relationship. If they had any doubt regarding their feelings for each other,this nightmare has definitely cleared the depth of their feelings for each other.

I admire the way you have shown swara glancing at sanskaar frequently to gain strength from him.

lastly, I would like to again compliment you for your sheer brilliance with this chapter.👏👏👏
This one , despite being so brutal is by far the best along with samalkoonj one for exploring and bringing out their deep feelings for each other on the shore. I am waiting eagerly for 18 to see how Sanskaar handles this situation and how this nightmare leads to some sort of acceptance from both of them about their feelings , if not to each other than to themselves atleast especially swara.

Thanks for the PM Shru and apologies once again for missing 3 chapters together!😔

P.S - By now you must have realized my love for angst full chapters! 😉


My dear Rashi 🤗

Welcome back!! And please don't worry- look how late my reply is!

Re 14- yes, it had to transition quick- I wanted the pace crisp and haha, yes as they say patience is a virtue and the reward at some stage will be sweet 😉. I wanted to subtly bring out their care and concern and entire selflessness which makes one only think of the other through the little things 😳.

Devendra is beyond vile- I am wrapping comments up on him quick as he's made me feel rather ill the past week and gave me nightmares 🤢. Re how he knew it was Sanskaar- he had a doubt only at first. They've known each other from childhood and whilst a disguise can fool those who don't know you so well, I've never understood in shows how they show a beard or glasses or something fools people's own wives 😆. So he doubted especially when he heard about Sanskaar's stunt with the lashing, and when he saw Veer, the penny of course dropped. Re Swara- he had heard the same story- Sanskaar eloping with the Gadodia girl- so he put two and two together .

Haha, on 17! Ok, then, I won't stop 😆. I am a "fan" on angst in its place and in its time. If there is angst, it has to be done properly IMO- I don't do "soppy" usually and if it is meant to be a spanning tale, I feel you cannot do it without the relevant dose of angst. That then makes the resolutions all the more sweeter so if you like angst-ridden, DK is a safe stop!

I LOVED your take on 17 👏👏- you truly do get my wavelength on the pain making them grow and it made me very happy! And absolutely spot on about this being the cornerstone now of what will come for them next. Once a couple deals with something like this and manages to make it work after, nothing more can surely come between them right? Or can it?! 😉

And ahhh- you seriously made my week with your very kind praise- thank you so much sweetheart!! 🤗 I hope you will like 18. The real dealing with the aftermath as such is 19 onwards! . Hope to hear from you soon Rashi!

Lots of love,
Shru xoxo
