Chapter 20:
Finally SwaSan wake up in that magical hour just before dawn & the magic that they find in each others arms lingers as each is reluctant to leave the comfort of their shared paradise. Though Swara did have nightmares, which even the opiate couldnt keep at bay having Sanskaar next to her helped begin the healing process. Oh that moment when they woke up together all I could think of was banging their heads & saying NOW KISS😆 What she "needed" then was not more sleep Prince Chivalrous No wonder her face fell🤔


Poor Pawan 🤣 Now Sanskaar wants him to go ask ladies for extra clothes 🤣


Ye Sanskaar ko baat baat pe itna gussa kyun ata hai? Arey yaar YOU are in love with Swara, not everyone else😆 So if serving her annoys them...they aren't exactly wrong🤪


Pawan is so sweet! A thorough gentleman, thinking about Swara's comfort & then going on to play cupid between his best friend & the Princess. And so modest to admit he is no Lord but is honoured to be Sanskaar's friend XXX And like every good friend 😈 he is proud of the person who can shut up his best friend😈😆 After all har ek friend kamina hota hai😆


Awww Varun❤️ One more horsie XXX And he is Pawan's☺️ Now both these cutie pies are competing for Swara's attention😆 😆 So basically Pawan means that Veer is khadoos just like Sanskaar😆 and Varun is friendly like Pawan😳 I wish I could have seen Laksh's face when Pawan got Varun 🤣 And dont worry Pawan, the Princess has long abandoned her plans to run with the horse😆


Swara in spite of being so young & inexperienced was so good with Sushena. She was guided here by her pure heart which made her say all those things & hence it had such a big impact on Sushena & the men. Is it any surprise that the men came to thank her later😳 She won their leader's heart long back but today she has won their hearts as well😳 and that is no mean feat😳 The old man's words must have brought so much joy to Swara ...she who was always looked down upon due to her mixed blood must have been felt honoured to be called a brave Rajput Princess😳


How cute were those references to the wonderful moments they had spent in the Haveli. Prince Demanding😆 😆 😆 pelting stones so that the Princess would come out 😆 Prince Charming sure knows how to get a smile out of her😳

Fun fair in the next chapter then?? 🥳

Shruti I spend almost whole night trying to stay awake and when you updated I fell asleep.😡 anyways thank you🤗

Unres

Shruti, so sorry for the delayed Unres. Like I told you I am in love with your titles, especially this one - Your solace my salvation.

I loved the first paragraph. Poor girl is still fighting with that horrible incident even in her dream. Biut the highlight was she still sees her knight in shining armour as Sanskar, though he won't agree with this. And the reference to Haveli was too good. During the similar situation they faced in Haveli where Swara was taking care of Sanskar, even he, in his subconscious state, listened to her heed and tried to follow her instruction similarly here whenever she feels scared he soothes her with his words and hug. Could this get any more perfect?

"What he wouldn't give to wake with her in his embrace like this each morning, he ruminated. But unfortunately, it could never be, he reminded himself. He had already taken liberties with her that he must not repeat, but again, if she needed him, he knew he would make a thousand such mistakes all over again, and take whatever consequences as flowed upon himself.." Ofcourse he would. When it comes to her, everything else is unimportant.

"He wanted so much more than to hold her now, and no matter how wrong the timing was, neither that, nor the realisation that she would be frightened to death if she had any inkling of his desire for her especially after the trauma she had undergone, kept him from wanting to kiss and caress away all the hurts inflicted on her precious form." Loved his fight to override his emotion so as to not scare her more after her ordeal. It really did take an iron will here 😆. At this point (only here) I wished you had placed this story on the 21st century. I would not mind a small kiss even if it's in 18th C.😳

Coming to Pawan, my now favourite character in this story. His request to his friend to not ask him to go hunting for woman's clothes were really funny. Also how amused he was to see the two love birds trying to remember his presence from time to time. He was also enjoying their arguments, so was I. His "Oh my Prince!" made me laugh really hard. He knew exactly how to handle these two babies. He stepped in when to avoid a conflict for no reason and gave them privacy when needed. I really like this guy, I did say this before, didn't I? Please don't give me a maybe he is negative or positive reply. Keep him positive. I loved the bond between Swara and Pawan.

Our Veer is just like his master in all sense. Possessive, protective. He couldn't bear Swara's attention being divivded between himself and Varun. And seriously Varun?

Sushena is dying? I thought he would be fine and will live on. Swara's caring nature once again gave comfort to the dying man. And went one step further by downplaying her trauma. This girl is truly an angel. No wonder why Sanskar keeps falling deeply in love with her.

I love the cross reference you keep giving with their days in Haveli now and there. And here the reference of throwing the stones at her window till she opens her door was beautiful. What he dosen't get is that she has already opened the door to her heart. He is standing in the middle of the room, but here he is asking her to come out of hiding as it hurts him to see her like this.

Final scene where the soldiers aknowledging her as the true Rajput queen.. For all the humiliation she has undergone throughout her life this must feel great. She did win all their hearts with her nature. I'm so happy to see her getting some respect which she so rightly deserve.

Next what? Fun fair or messenger will come back to spoil our peace? No matter what Sanskar says the moment she is separated from him he is going to start worrying about her well being and not concentrate on his mission, but then again he can't keep her with him, which will bring me back to the question I asked you once. I guess I'll just have to wait and watch.

Love

Sree

Hey Shruti
Really sorry for such a late unres.Loved the update as usual.

Poor Swara inspite of taking opiates had to suffer from nightmares.But thankfully Sanskar's comforting presence and care calmed her down.Loved how both of them were thinking about the haveli and the enchanting time spent there.

Sanskar doesn't even want to let go of holding Swara and is relishing his moments with her.
Then how will he ever be able to relinquish her to her family when the time comes.It must be tearing him apart but he still sent the message to his uncle assuming that is what is best for Swara.
Loved how Swara got angry the minute she came to know about Sanskar's plan.

Really loving Pawan .He is an amazing character loved how his theatrics helped to end the spat between SwaSan.If not for him, Swasan would have stayed upset and angry at each other.

How brave was Swara when she openly acknowlged to Sushena in front of the men that she had thought of Sanskar and Sushena as traitors and then asking for forgiveness for the same.Loved the way she soothed the dying man.But why does Sushena have to die? Really feeling terrible about it.

The way Sanskar's soldiers paid salute to Swara was beautiful as was Sanskar's pride and joy in seeing Swara so respected by his men.

Eagerly waiting for the next update.

Chapter 20 res

Unres

Dear Shru, Such a beautiful chapter:👏👏👏


Swara and Sanskaar wake up in each other's arms. It truly was peaceful- tenuous, yes, given the nightmares that plagued Swara but then Sanskaar's presence did calm her, so much so that every time it appeared that the nightmares would claim her, he could pull her back with the protection of his arms - her solace his salvation.

Swara is feeling the pull Sanskaar has on her, even more strongly, but then after what she has gone through, she really would not be able to name that emotion. It is indeed love, she moving closer to the dip in the mattress where he had slept to lose herself in the residual warmth. And then that love would be both her resurrection and her salvationSwara is feeling the pull Sanskaar has on her, even more strongly, but then after what she has gone through, she really would not be able to name that emotion. It is indeed love, she moving closer to the dip in the mattress where he had slept to lose herself in the residual warmth. And then that love would be both her resurrection and her salvation (modification of a line by Fyodor Dostoyevsky) and if Sanskaar even had an inkling of her love, he would find solace.

Then Sanskaar makes plans, chief of which consisted of handing over the maps and the return of Swara (he instructs his messenger to meet a specific person, if necessary, by the way, is this the same person who watched the sisters and Sanskaar on the night of his escape?) But Swara does not take the idea of returning too well (another set of conflicting emotions - unwilling to leave him and a faint feeling that she might not be actually be welcomed with open arms).

Then Pawan's interference - a sort of the 'Parent Trap' play- but did work wonders here. Both Swara and Sanskaar, did slip into the all-too-familiar companionship. (Would you have Pawan face Sanskaar's wrath for his attempts to play cupid?)


Solace and Salvation - I do not know why but these two words (quite an alliteration) seem to be interwoven throughout the chapter - the whole chapter is a poignant tale of the entire gamut of emotions - unspoken love but vividly expressed in actions, care given despite facing one's demons, easy banter reflecting how happy memories can overshadow present sorrows, strength to lend calm a dying warrior, courage to admit her mistake in labelling them traitors, laughter between Swara and Sanskaar bringing promise of sunshine after the storms, Swara's bravery earning the respect of the battle-hardened soldiers, which makes Sanskaar extremely proud and the end - bringing them gladness and hope. Each act which brought solace to one made someone step closer to salvation.

One final note - not having to buy clothes for Swara, solace for Pawan and salvation for both her and us!

love,
Nyna

PS: Veer and Varun - loved it. Just could not help wonder, what would Swara's horse be named?😉

Hi Shruti🤗 , Sorry for the late Unres. Had a busy sunday. I loved Chapter 20 .I got happy reading the title itself to know it will be filled with so many memorable moments and i wasnt wrong.😃


Swara had nightmares and even in her Nightmare it is Sanskar wielding a sword of flame came to her rescue against Devendra. Poor Girl must have been so traumatized😭 . I loved the whole scene so much. That i read it more than thrice before going further.😆



Sanskar really has iron will indeed but that also makes me love him more, he will bear any pain for Swara . But will never impose his feeling on her .I loved the moment they shared when they woke up . So Sanskar is planning to send away Swara ,cant blame him ,it was his intial plan even before the event.



I am liking Pawan more and more . Him suggesting Sanskar too take Swara to the fair, and his cupid moments with his over acting about Sanskar not eaten anything, His conversation with Swara during the time she spent with Varun and Veer. He is really an likable guy.😎



Swara entering Sanskar tent and the her anger when she found out he was sending her away only to double back at Pawan info was so like Swara. I get why Swara would say no to the fair and i am glad she accepted it in the end though.



I was literally proud of Swara too when she went to see Sushena and that scene was so amazing ,it shown the side of Swara that is an Princess worthy of being an Queen❤️. Her apology for calling him an traitor was so spot on👍🏼 . So Sushena wont survive i get that now.😭


Swara immediately downplaying her trauma after witnessing Sushena was just like her, but glad to have Sanskar who will fight till he get the old Swara back and I loved how he slightly changed the events from haveli to suit the current situation. 😉


Sanskar men are so loyal and i am proud of them, what they did for Swara was so heart touching⭐️ . Yes while Swara will always remember that day as an nightmare ,she will also remember this day too.


Fun fair is next . Excited for it. Awesome Chapter Shruti and i really loved it . I wish it never ended .



Love,

Nita

Dear Niti

No apologies needed 😃 I am just happy you read and liked it so much! And that you like always let me know so nicely! Haha, no no Pawan was not trying to compete- poor man!! Yes, indeed, the men understood that a high born lady would need to be treated somewhat specially and they tried to do that, bless them. Sanskaar does see Swara as some sort of Goddess, hence I felt he would compare her to the Gita 😳, and actually he would any decent woman. That's the sort of man he is. I had to seriously think how to get a bathtub there 😆

See in the future who is positive and negative we can't say, but for now, enjoy Pawan- more of him to come 😃. Ah yes what a co-incidence with the show also bringing out the ice pack scene no?

OMG- I am so sorry to read what you allude to . Similarly, here- not the same thing but the effects of trauma when experienced can make you relate to someone else's. And its not bak bak - please do share comments whenever 😃. Absolutely right- the medicine on the body is part of it, but the real balm is each other and that is where their healing comes from 😳. I wanted this sense of there is nothing cheap in them sleeping together- they needed that and it was right so it had to happen.

Big hugs for your lovely words at the end- you made my day! And yes, see you on the comments for 20!

Lots of love Niti xoxo

Res (sorry dude, would have resed earlier but had been asleep!:-P)

Unres-
Shruti, I just read that you're unwell! Baby, do take care and I'm finally unresing, but I have exams till 22nd so was extremely late. I hope you understand. Get well soon and I hope this boring post brings a smile on your face as you always say so. By the way, have you decided to break your record of the best previous chapter for the next one that you post. Honestly, whenever I feel, this was just the best, the next one complains, dude I'm equally fabulous too, don't ignore me!

Poor Swara, the girl had to go through so much. Such horrible nightmares. Oh My God! But Sanskaar was her saviour even in the dreams. I loved that part. When he came and defeated that Monster Devendra as well as her fears too. Not completely, but if it weren't for him and his comforting arms around her, her whole night would have become a sleepless nightmare. The solace that she got in his embrace was able to defeat all the raging monsters in her!! I just loved this part and then Sanskaar and his thoughts. He wants to send her back home *sigh* because he cares so much for her. After this horrible incident, of course he wouldn't want her to face any danger! This shows his unconditional and selfless love for her. The entire para was just amazing!

Ok, so basically both SwaSan are awake but are pretending that they both are asleep because they don't know how they'll face each other if they wake up at the same time!! Great. Sanskaar and his desires, but of course, if he loves her so much, somewhere there will be desires for her, how much he tries to suppress it. As Sanskaar himself has said once- Bhavnayein hain Swara, inhe dabaya jaa sakta h, dil se nikala nahi jaa sakta' Even Swara has to fight her raging emotions which she herself isn't able to comprehend. She doesn't realise the love she feels for Sanskaar and this assault is another factor that adds to the deprivation of this knowledge to her. But then, she sleeps in the place where Sanskaar was sleeping and thinks of him only! Oh gal, you are so in love, don't you realise? *sighs again*

Sanskaar was sending Pawan to buy clothes to women's houses?😆😆 Lol. Poor guy! He's so fed up. Aow Gawd, I couldn't help laughing like anything. Swara enters and Sanskaar forgets everything. Only Swara Swara and Swara. *heart eyes emoticon* Her anger when he says he is sending her home was a treat. She wants to stay with him but can't realise this herself! I so pity my both babies. That outburst had me smiling.

Pawan is amazing, ain't he? He knew the mention of his back and Sanskaar not eating anything would have Swara going all crazy to take care of him. Smart man! Swara tends his injuries and so does Sanskaar and they both eat together, nice! I like it<3 Veer again. I love him. He so hates Swara's divided attention! Aww..Veer. I like both Varun and Veer. But Veer is really special to me!

I liked the easy conversation and friendship b/w Swara and Pawan! Really nice. The whole scene was well- written. Pawan telling the whole story to her with Swara laughing was a nice part! Swara meeting Sushena was an amazing scene. Hats off buddy! It was so beautifully written, *giving you a standing ovation* that I couldn't help reading and rereading it!

OMG!! Sushena is so injured, this death is so painful, full of injuries and bruises. Imagining such a sight was a pain I tell ya. I couldn't do so without shutting my eyes thinking of the ache that person is going through. And Swara immediately ran to him to give him the comfort. This girl is such a beautiful soul, she can't see anyone in pain and other's injuries give her ache. Wow! She was blabbering to him the same way she had when she was tending an almost unconscious Sanskaar in the Haveli. I believe she was blabbering because she herself wanted to control her tears and this was the best way. Swara is such a dignified lady and I just loved this portrayal of her Shruti. I loved it, when she apologised to all the men there but specially Sushena and then called him a true hero.

Sanskaar called her Nymph. Reminded me of the beautiful scene at the Haveli. I guess that was chapter 13. I'd found that scene so beautiful. Swara is so selfless, even after all she had to go through she still is thinking about Sanskaar. Deep deep love! Sanskaar is no less. He wants the old chattering, fun loving Swara back. More of his Mermaid Princess. How could Bagri whip this innocent Knight for years in that horrible jail. Oh God. These two are so complete. Shruti, let them stay with each other only without Mentaleshwaris interfering please, when they confess their love for each other. When Sanskaar says that he'll throw stones at her window and batter the door down, I couldn't help thinking of the reference that he'll break that ice around her heart and make his way in forever and after. Of course he didn't meant that, but I couldn't help thinking

What can be better for a brave and valiant soldier than dying with honour and dignity. The gift that Swara gave him would have been truly priceless, at his last breath. And that man needed that. Loved this paragraph more than could be described in words dude!

The last paragraphs! Shruti, I applaud you for writing such a scene seriously! The immense satisfaction and pride that Sanskaar and even Swara would have felt was enough to cure quite a few injuries, not physical. But yeah! The soldiers saluted her for her bravery and really after suffering taunts all her life, surely this would have given her so much pleasure. Loved the last paragraph. Your last paragraphs are always fabulous you know! Love you for that.
Sorry for the boring and really very late unres-
Take care and get well soon and do not expect on time unres from me as I have my exams😉
Love ya
Sakshi
