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?? 🥳


Lanny 🤗 x 100

Our babies are magic no? I so wanted them to create their paradise despite having been though hell, a literal oasis for them to find each other and some comfort and some peace. 😆😆 I so wish this wasn't a period drama- so much more kissing scope in modern world no?! 😆😆😳. Am rofl at Swara's face falling because Prince IronMan leaves her and doesn't stay cuddling and progressing to kissing 😆- sorry couldn't help meandering down that path!

I loved poor Pawan's shock about having to go knocking at women's doors and asking to buy clothes 😲😲 And Sanskaar- how does he get the size right?! Practicalities Mr Practical?! Pawan be like- YOU go shopping at a fair 😃😃
I know right? Gussa toh uske naak par hi rehta hai especially when it comes to Madam. I knew there was going to be fan girling over your Pawan in your comment- was so looking forward to it! 😉😃 I LOVEEE the reference to "harr ek friend kamina hota hai"- totally the sort of friends me loves 😈

Varun and Veer ❤️ More horses 😳. And yes!!!! Pawan was quick to point out how all nice and accommodating he is compared to the "difficult" Prince! Hmmm Pawan- should your time ever come, we shall see how tractable you are in love 😉
Lakshya ji 😆😆 Poor guy- even here he has no reprieve from people making fun of him! And aha- yes, Princess doesn't want to run away, she wants to run towards 😈

Swara with Sushena was exactly that- her total genuine good spirit and real concern and care for everyone- that shines through. No wonder Sanskaar keeps falling deeper every day And yes, I so wanted Swara to get the acknowledgment she so richly deserves for her sterling bravery and some recompense for having experienced prejudice in her way all her life .

So glad you liked the ending on a more hopeful note. They are not out of the woods yet, but their journey needs to be resumed so as long as they stay even in the woods together I reckon that was all good! A lot of this was about recalling happier Haveli times no? So the link at the end felt natural.

Yesss!!! Fun fair distraction next although that too will have ups and downs I guess as Swara cannot immediately just "get over" what happened! But hopefully some happier times again too 😃

Love ya,

Shru xoxo

My friend Shruti,
The update was awesome. I really enjoyed the reading while reading the update.
The beginning of update was about swasan.
Nightmares were haunting swara, but in dreams too sanskar saved her life from devil Devendra. That incident was haunting her. But the presence of sanskar was her courage to fight with the situation.
She was in safe hands of sanskar.
Sanskar always want the happiness of swara. For that he was ready to do anything for her.
He always think about her reputation and he always aware about that.
Pawn understood his friend very well. From sanskar's words he realized that sanskar is in love with swara. But he was not ready to accept the fact.
Sanskar arranged a messenger to Durgaprasad. He will handover the Nagabhata map.
And wanted to send swara to the palace. He was worried for her safety.
But this decision was painful for sanskar. To go away from swara was not acceptable for him. But for swara's sake he was ready to do it.
I was laughing while reading the conversation between sanskar and pawn. Sanskar asked some new clothes for swara and pawn was open mouthed. That sequence was really nice.
Swara was unhappy about the decision of sanskar to send her to the palace.
The conversation between swara and pawn was really nice.
Swara was angry to sanskar and she refused to eat. But pawn understood both of them. He said that sanskar not eat the food.
Hearing about sanskar's condition swara forgot her angry.
She applied ointment in his wounds and ate the food together. They remembered the time spent in the haveli.
When she saw veer she was happy. Then she noticed the other horse varun and she became friendly to it
The conversation between swara and pawn was interesting.
After hearing Sushena's condition she met him and her words were heart touching.
It was a painful sequence. But for a soldier his life is always filled with danger. In each second of their life they face death.
While reading that sequence I remembered the poem 'Greater love 'by Wilfred oven.
Heart, you were not hot,
Nor large, nor full like hearts made great with shot
And though your hand be pale
Paler are all which trail
Your cross through flame and hail :
Weep,you may weep, for you may touch them not
Sushena was a courageous man. He lived his life for his country. He was facing his death. But swara's words have a magical power. It can heal the wounds.
Then the beautiful moments between swasan, it was also nice. Sanskar want his old swara. They remembered the beautiful moments they spend in the haveli.
And the last scene were the soldiers wanted to salute swara for her brave. That moment was one of the most precious moment in this update.
In my view this update was completed like a story. Love, pain, happiness, and sorrow all the emotions were included in this update.
After swasan, I really loved the characters of pawn and Sushena. They are amazing.
Eagerly waiting for your next update.
Thanks for the pm


Hey Sakkiyah 🤗

Thank you for again showering love on another update with such kindness. You have as ever so perfectly summed up all I wanted to convey in this chapter, which tried to cover a whole host of emotions, actions and undercurrents. I wanted to show that whilst Swara battled, and will do, with the demons that will plague her post attack, she has Sanskaar and she knows it as she relies on him to bring her through.

I think your spell check always changes poor Pawan to pawn 😆😆- my keeps trying too as well. Pawan does see so much, regardless of any express confirmation and he plays Cupid too in his way 😃

Sanskaar had always intended to send Swara back and now is renewing his efforts especially after what happened . And yes, he is back to making plans as he has to keep all that going too

Poor Pawan 😆😆 It was like- oh you go find women's clothes now 😲😲 Seriously Sanskaar?! Like Pawan said- you go and do shopping with your Princess 😆 Glad you liked the humour there. I wanted some rapport building between Swara and Pawan too and the horses provided perfect "bonding convo" no?

That Wilfred Owen poem- 👏👏⭐️ Perfectly apt and so poignant and brings out the sort of feels I wanted with the scene with Sushena. A soldier's life like Sanskaar said is often like that and I didn't want to ignore the realism of that or the real heroism of men like that- who serve and are often forgotten. I wanted to end on a hopeful note and for Swara give her something to counterbalance the horrors she has seen and reward her in a small way for her bravery.

I am so happy you liked the mixed bag opened here and thank you again for letting me know! Lots of love,

Shruti x

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


Nita my dear 🤗

Thank you so much for this especially after having a busy time! You put me to shame as you know I have yet to comment on 2 of your chapters . Glad you loved 20 and the title too!!

Swara- the trauma was so terrible, I always thought she would have trouble sleeping. Years ago, my mum was kidnapped (yes! true story!) but 2 men trying to carjack and she got away within a very short time (it was like a film) but I remember the doctor giving her sedatives and she still couldn't sleep- had nightmares for days!

Sanskaar- yes his guilt is now lashing him and he is so in love but so wants to do the right thing, my heart bleeds for him 😭. As you say, he was already planning to send her away as he wants her safe and now he feels he HAS to asap!

😆😆 Pawan- he so reminded me of a more a restrained version of a naughty Veeru from Sholay 😆 with his "nautanki" but it so worked with Swara no?! 😎

I wanted a little of the "old" Swara to make an appearance hence that scene in the tent. Some of her spirt back but of course it's like a seesaw for her and the suggestion to go to a fair conflicted her until she changed perspective again. I had decided before that Sushena would die a brave death and wanted Swara to show her mettle and her queenly attributes. In each thing, Swara is equal to Sanskaar in that sense and a leader like him deserves someone special like her so I wanted the men to see that too. No
Sushena doesn't make it but I hope I gave him an end a warrior would be proud of 😭.

Sanskaar after all is master strategist so when the tide turned he did too 😉😎. They both keep going up and down which I thought would be the natural reaction here. Absolutely right about Swara now having a good memory too to counterbalance what happened to her- I put those lines in about a memory she could recall in dark times 😊.

Yes, I need to get working on the fair and other scenes. Just need to make time amidst work .

Thanks again Nita and catch you soon!

Love,
Shru xoxo

😊 This part started with their magical moments I loved that scene though my swasan virus filled mind wanted a bit more😉 then the trio scene it was sooo very enjoyable pawan reaction was so funny his happiness to see sanskar getting scolded this is what real friends are like ,they got the highest number of scoldings from us so when they see that there is someone to scold us they feel happy and pawan completely enjoying the fun to see swara scolding sanskar such a kamina he is but I love this type of kaminas😉😉😆 swasan has a lot of teasing pending for them😃 pawan is keeping his teasings pending his genious plan which worked almost immedietly swara was all angry but as soon as she heard that sanskar haven't eat anything and remembered about his back she changed her direction outside to inside😉 pawan's wide grin at his success I too had a wide grin on my face when pawans plan succeeded I knew it this trio is gonna rock they are our three musketeers

Aww varun n veer competiting for swaras attention that scene was soo soo sooo sooo sooo cute and it brought such a big smile on my face😃 I was in a bad mood but it brought such a big smile on my face😃 pawan really loves n respect the brotherly treatment he got from sanskar which is quite rare he enjoy that sanskar cares n think for him so much maybe more than laksh he feels really proud and happy about that poor laksh pawan is making fun of laksh even when he is not here that scene was so funny😆😆 it lifted swaras mood now I understood why laksh don't like pawan bechare laksh ji k itne mazak urte honge ki vo thak jate honge😆

Sushena swara scene it was really very good swaras words were really mature it gave peace to sushena and somehow she too found peace thinking that the situation they were in whatever happened something much more worse could have happened. Sanskar got a new name prince demanding 😆 that was really cute but we want him to be more demanding 😉 he is not asking swaras love thinking its impossible n fearing what will be swaras reaction but he is not seeing because he is fearing to hope but swaras actions are giving positive signs he just need to wait and be a bit demanding😉

The end scene with soldiers it was so very powerful so magical so blissful it has such a light which have the power to remove the darkness of the earlier happenings not only that this scene has the power to fill the reader with a new hope making the reader forget about his/her worries truly wonderful👏👏 it doesn't matter where someone born doing of the person is what truly matter the soldiers may have born as commoner but their values is something which despite of being prince devendra didn't got the soldiers earned respect in this part where human like devendra don't deserve to call even animal let alone human it will be really insulting for animals if we call him animal animals dont hurt human or other animals unnecessarily
I rambled a lot hope the visit to fair doesn't bring some dangers whenever swasan went out some big danger comes hope this time some secret unravels not some new danger a lot of dangers have already passed now some secrets should unravel I am sure there is still many unraveled secrets left
Waiting for the next part😊

Come on Shruti, i already told you a few times and i say it again since you seem to feel bad about it when there is no need. It can wait. I know you are really busy and i totally understand 😊

Swara- the trauma was so terrible, I always thought she would have trouble sleeping. Years ago, my mum was kidnapped (yes! true story!) but 2 men trying to carjack and she got away within a very short time (it was like a film) but I remember the doctor giving her sedatives and she still couldn't sleep- had nightmares for days! ...I am relieved to know your mom got away soon, it is a given she would have nightmares . Hope she is fine now . When such incidents happen in real time , the world seems like a scary place indeed.

Sanskaar- yes his guilt is now lashing him and he is so in love but so wants to do the right thing, my heart bleeds for him 😭. As you say, he was already planning to send her away as he wants her safe and now he feels he HAS to asap! ... I totally understand him,Poor Guy. 😭


😆😆 Pawan- he so reminded me of a more a restrained version of a naughty Veeru from Sholay 😆 with his "nautanki" but it so worked with Swara no?! 😎..Will you be shocked if i said i never watched Sholay 😆and have no clue about the who is veeru

I wanted a little of the "old" Swara to make an appearance hence that scene in the tent.

Shru, what an amazing chapter this is! Just like the title indicated Your solace, my salvation...loved it by the way! ❤️

That moment when Sanskaar and Swara were lying together, pretending to sleep bcoz none of them wanting to wake up and get out of the little sanctuary they had created Such a perfect moment!

Sanskaar's desire at this point and how he's so quick to leave as soon as they cannot pretend anymore 😆 And our innocent Swara, unknown to his desire, still snuggles into his side of the bed for comfort 😭 Hate to see Swara like this!

But you gave us the glimpses of old Swara in this chapter too. Loved those! That heated moment when Swara was outraged at Sanskaar sending her away and later at him not having eaten or treated his back, that cute moment with the horses and easy conversation with Pawan ❤️
Also loved that Swara and Sanskaar both were missing their times at Haveli...So cute 😭

Pawan playing cupid for Swara and Sanskaar and Sanskaar's outrage at him was just too much 🤣 I was laughing so hard at that 🤣 He understands Sanskaar's emotions so well!
That little slip up about Lakshya infront of Swara was hilarious too 😆

The moment Swara had with Sushena and other men was so touching. Swara was truly an angel here with the way she thanked Sushena for saving them, apologized for having called him a traitor and granted him a peaceful death 😭
And Sanskaar's pride when his men were praising Swara for her bravery was adorable ❤️

Can't wait for Swara and Sanskaar to go to that fair! Their banter in the end was just like the old times ❤️

Btw the thought of Sanskaar sending Swara away to her father and Durga Prasad makes me sick. These rough soldiers are way more noble than the royal family especially that Shekhar 😡 But I realize why it needs to be done 😭

God the coming chapter are going to be painful, but can't wait! Continue soon, Shru! Lots of love 🤗


Sana 🤗

Mwwaah for this! Firstly, yayyy- for liking the title and then saying the chapter was amazing too 😳😳- Thank you!!

I thought you might like the opening scene 😉. I just wanted them to wake to this lovely feeling of holding each other close after their trauma 😳. Haha- I remember you telling me you liked Sanskaar's "asanskaari" thoughts about his Princess and then he has to run! 😆 Swara is such a cute baby no? Yes, she doesn't understand that he's running almost from her due to his desire but she so craves his presence too, without understanding expressly why 😳

I wanted some of that spirited Swara back and hence tried to show what we can realistically if optimistically expect. I am glad you liked the lightening of the mood in part on those scenes. I wanted Swara to bond with Pawan and of course the horses in their way helped her healing process too I felt. The telling Sanskaar off I just wanted in as I think it's cute that she does and he let's her and Pawan can laugh at his friend 😆. Lakshya- poor guy! Even here he is mocked! Glad you enjoyed the fun through Pawan- he was most certainly enjoying himself- watching his usually cool friend all anxious and squirming would be so much fun no 😈. As Lanny said- "har ek friend kamina hota hai" fit here 😆😆😆

I wanted to show the men the side of Swara which makes it easy to see why their dynamic leader would fall under her spell 😳 Swara was just guided by her innate goodness and gentleness and she acted as a perfect Queen would really. Sanskaar of course was bursting with pride 😳. I wanted some hope in the end and to reinstate some of their earlier ease. Not that it will automatically be like that as she will continue to battle her PTSD but it provides so much more chance of gradual recovery:)

Yes, Sanskaar is almost in a Hobson's choice scenario here with his options 😭. It will kill him to let her go but he doesn't know what else he can do- he cannot abandon his duty either. Let us see what fate (or I) bring them! Yes, there will be pain to come but hopefully when it does, in its own way, it will still add to the beauty of their relationship.

Lots of love hon,

Shru xoxo

Hey Niti 🤗

The more detailed the better for the comments 😃 so thank you firstly! Well the nightmares are not going to go too soon as of course what she went through was beyond terrible for her , but yes of course having Sanskaar there holds most of it at bay. Yes, see I didn't care that in so called society's eyes their sleeping together would be wrong- their love is so pure and innocent in that sense, there is of course nothing "wrong" or immoral there so I very deliberately wanted that to happen. I think they need each other period and for two people who have been through what they have, they should have this. Yes it is killing Sanskaar to think of sending her away, but what else can he do? 😭

Pawan does understand yes and the little moments there were to break up the seriousness and difficulties 😃; glad everyone seems to like them. Pawan is so eshmmart no? 😎 Diffused tension and played Cupid! And had a laugh at their expense too 😆👏 And yes, too many hugs in expected parts of a scene to me is too trite and I try to avoid very common things in a plot 😃.

Haha! Yes now there's Varun too to help with Swara, not just Veer 😃. Yes yes I understood why Veer has to be the winner there 😉- after all I only made Pawan say like master like horse! 😆

I wanted to show Swara's queenly attributes with the men and what she did for Sushena she did genuinely and instinctively which I thought was even more special, and the men saw that. Absolutely the point- you got it- best life partner for someone like Sanskaar 😳. The end was to insert some lightness with trying to make them both move on and then of course some hope too and finally giving Swara some really happy memories too to counterbalance what had happened. Haha, oh God the demands about Pawan 😆

Haan, catch you after 21!! Lots of love Niti xoxo

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


Sree sweetheart 🤗

Firstly, I salute you for staying awake the hours you did for this chapter- you don't know how much that meant to me that you love this story so much 🤗

Ahhh- the happiness I get when the title is liked! Swara is going to have a long road to recovery as such but to be honest time is a luxury they don't have and therefore she also needs to sort of just get on with it and how better than to have her hero there, shielding her, in dreams and reality and making it all ok with his efforts? 😃 I see them as perfect too so am so glad to read you use that word for them 😳

Glad you liked those paras:) Haha- the period setting- oh God you don't know how much restraint I have to exercise! But no a kiss at the moment would have been too much 😆 We have to be content with Sanskaar wanting to, imagining it and then running 😆. All in good time! But seriously though, I realised how tough it was with the setting to have to invoke romance but keep the physicality in its place! However, for someone who is obsessive over Pride & Prejudice it is a good lesson to learn! 😆

Ahahaha! Another one already threatening me should I have nefarious plans to make Pawan a villain later! Oh dear- what do you guys want me to say? Anything can happen in this story for but for now, I am super pleased everyone is loving the banter and Pawan's cupid to the adorable but often obtuse duo! My fave was Pawan's horrified shock at having to knock at doors asking for women's clothes. 😆
He had to get some of his own back so he found amusement int their bumbling attempts.

I just couldn't resist Varun! Given my love for VK- how could I?See my original plan was that Pawan's horse would be Vayu- it was even in my notes but then I wanted Varun so went for that 😆 And you liked the horsie competition no?

I was trying to warn people about Sushena 😭. I am cruel but what to do, as a writer you have to let realism take its role too no and stories need heroes too and to me, Sushena embodies all that is good and fine in a true warrior who doesn't get glory but serves regardless. And as for Swara- yes, easy to see why each day puts Sanskaar even more deeply in her thrall.

Ahhh- glad you like the cross linking to their "golden" days. And I love what you wrote about her having opened the door to her heart and him standing there! 👏👏

The scene with the soldiers was Swara's small recompense for her sheer bravery and goodness. Something to partly counterbalance the terrible she has just had plus a lifetime of unfair prejudice.

Let's see what 21 brings you all 😉. Well the fair is decided on but aha- you think there may be interruptions? Hmmm- let's see how cruel I am feeling 😉😆. Whatever happens we will see how much they mean to each other 😉. Totally right about Sanskaar's dilemma so it's now I know up to me to see how I solve this royal mess!

Lots of love hon,

Shru xoxo

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.



Hey Vini 🤗

Thanks so much for loving the update:). Yes the opiates were not enough to keep those horrible memories at bay but yes she had Sanskaar to calm her and take her back to happier times for them both:). It is killing Sanskaar already to think of letting go of her and you are right- how he gives her up is his biggest dilemma He did send the message as you say, thinking of her and not of himself. Haha- Swara was really not pleased with his plans!

Glad you love Pawan! He did manage all that with such fun and yet style no?! These two otherwise would have kept at it for sure!

I wanted to show that same bravery and grace Swara has which we have all seen to the men too:) They deserve to know their leader is falling in love with a truly worthy person:). Aha- *hugs*- Sushena has to die as I love my dose of reality and tragedy which has a point too- sorry!!! All balanced stories I feel need some sadness too in its place- this was my way to give him a fitting end despite the situation

Glad you liked the tribute Swara got from those brave men and Sanskaar's pride in her too:)

I meant to work on 21 today but am not well so have been delayed. Will try to update as soon as I can manage.

Love,

Shruti x
