Shruti 🤗 thank you so much dear. 😳
Finally the much anticipated chapter 18.
The fight scene was brilliant. I expected this reaction from him after seeing his love suffer so miserably in front of his eyes.
What an entry of Pawan👏, Wow. I knew you wouldn't leave Sanskar alone in there to face the mad hoard. Through Pawan you have shown how much Swara means to Sanskar, not that we didn't know it already, but drawing two lines to show the difference speaks much more here. He was told to be loyal, but here you showed that he is not just a loyal friend cum brother but also the level of understanding they have. He could understand his friend before the latter can put his thoughts into words. Love the way this relation is treated.
Devendra, I hoped he would die here, but like he said today is not the day. I so wanted to him crushed in front of Swara suffering a really painful slow death, something which will make him curse the day he was born. Boy wouldn't that been a treat, I'm sure you have much more planned for him than I could imagine. I just have to wait for few more chapters to get this, I know and I'll try being patient not that it's my strongest suit.😊
Swara poor thing I felt terrible for her. Chapter 17 was supposed to be the worst but I guess we are yet to face chapter 19 to see how all these events have taken a toll on her. Even when she feels her strength draining away from her she tries to pull herself together to see that Sanskar is safe. Love has found its way to her(it did happen before when he was fatally wounded) . When she felt that her whole life would be meaningless if she lost him(its not right for us to expect her to understand those feelings at the current situation), this might help her to review their relationship at some later point. The only thought which gave her the strength she needed was to see him through. The safety she felt in his hug and the panic that arose when he put her down to cover her could explain what she is feeling. God I really don't know how I'm going to handle the next chapter even though I will get an extremely caring and protective Sanskar.
"Sanskar" just one word and it stopped him from his pursuit for Devendra. It told him that all she needed was him with her and that she doesn't have the strength any more. His whole priority has changed for good. His lifeline is now her and she will be protected with his life. Like he told Devendra, Swara is his. And now he will face the wrath of abusing, manhandling and torturing what Sanskar holds so dear to his heart. Devendra will now suffer not just for what he did in the past but also what he did now, that is something I'm eagerly waiting for. The way he draped her in a cloak . He did set aside all his demons to be able to tend to her as she did. I loved the way they rode back to safety kissing her forehead letting her know that he is by her now and nothing will harm her ever, Offering safety and peace.
Shekar though I could understand his point here. I simply hate that guy. Don't knw why but i never warmed up to this character. It just escalated when he decided to declare that Ragini will his only child. I mean seriously the evil one who is the main cause of everyones pain is being rewarded here. I'm seriously happy that though she won her battle, or she thinks, its seems meaningless to her now. And she is guilty for having done something like this.
There is also something else I would like to add here, which are the two most extraordinary women in this whole story - Annapoorna and Janki. Wow these ladies make me feel proud to call myself a woman. The power with which they handle each situation is just awesome.
So Sorry for posting such a long comment. There are still so many things I would love to add but can't really express it at this point. Oh and thank you so much for not telling me that Pawan would be introduced here though I had a feeling.😳
Love
Sree
My dear Sree 🤗
Please don't thank me- accept my thanks for your love for DK and the real motivation you give me with comments and your kind PMs and messages. Really appreciate it so much.
Glad you liked the action scene which took up most of the Chapter. Ah yes, how could I leave Sanskaar permanently stranded- it was high time he reunited with his loyal men and his best friend. I wanted the change in Sanskaar to be seen through Pawan's eyes and that too very quickly to show how striking it is:) I feel so pleased to read your reaction to Pawan and the friendship I tried to show between the two men.
Devendra- it would be too easy to just have Sanskaar get hold of him and kill him- not the time IMO. Haha, the demands I have had for Devendra's painful death- I would be rich if I could have a penny for each 😆. The truth is I haven't finished planning that yet- have some vague ideas but need to finesse and finalise.
Swara's state was/ is indeed dire . She was literally clinging on for Sanskaar and then had to collapse only against him. And yes, her feelings are overpowering too but as you say of course I cannot expect her to deal with that now- the time is just not right with the assault so fresh. But yes, the subconsciously told her that the truth is- so when she can understand it she will. Yes, 19 will be gruelling for sure in that sense- the real test of Swara's forbearance will come now but of course Sanskaar is there and let's see what he does and how he tries to heal her, and she him of course as actually both of them are hurting in different ways.
That one cry of Swara spoke volumes to her knight and of course he answered and came through. Nothing matters to him more than her- her one sign can make him lay down his life, let alone arms and the chase of a villain. His care was bursting through- it is now all about her for him 😳. The kisses on the top of her head are just his immediate expression of tenderness and utmost concern 😳.
Shekhar- yes, well, his perspective isn't totally unjustified from his blinkered but yet still logical perspective but he still remains somewhat un-relatable I guess. I hope he isn't as irrational as the one on the show 😆. Janaki is a formidable woman indeed- as much a Queen in her own right as Annapurna is 😃.
Never say sorry for long comments! Read and savoured each time! Haha, I can't spoil suspense for you all na?!
Keep reading and chatting.
Lots of love, Shruti xoxo
