Wow Nita, I really enjoyed this chapter my dear. You explained so well, the intertwined upbringing of Swara and Ragini...and how, in a way, this constant tagging along with each other has worked to the detriment of both of them. Swara was the person who perhaps suffered more---she never got the freedom to pursue the interests she liked, the hobbies she wanted. It was always activities which the shy and withdrawn Ragini wanted to participate in. But Swara was forced to go along, to give company to her cousin. And what a very complex person Annapurna is! She was forced by Durga Prasad to give importance to Swara too; to make sure she also participates in those classes. But she always ensured the teachers praised Ragini even though Swara was the better student!
Poor Swara---she wasn't even particularly interested in those classes, but still she did her best in them and went along just to keep Ragini company---and despite that, she excelled in them.
Ragini--well, she is in a sense, as complex as her mother! She wanted Swara's company, but she was also consumed with jealousy at the thought of her cousin outperforming her always. So in a sense, Swara being tagged with her all the time, worked against her sentiments and interests as well.
This suppressed jealousy went on for so long, that when she saw Swara smiling at Sanskaar, she couldn't help feeling a pang, that Swara had once again done so well for herself---by getting married to a guy who was deemed to be perfect marriage material. Despite the fact that Ragini loves Lakshya, she is still jealous of Swara!
Hopefully, she would manage to get a grip on her emotions, at least now that Lakshya is giving her so much attention, wooing her in a very romantic manner. Ragini does appear to have a conscience here, she doesn't hate Swara, just has a lot of issues to deal with.
I loved the maturity and perspective which Sanskaar showed, and the way Swara confessed her emotions to him. So they have decided to give their marriage a try as friends and roommates. 😉 😊 If they develop feelings for each other, well and good; or else Sanskaar is willing to set her free, and has assured her he would manage the explanations to their families. It would be an interesting journye indeed for them: a girl who perhaps, does not believe in love; and a guy who believes that soulmates are rare to come by, and is prepared to settle for falling in love with the person he marries.
It would be a fascinating journey towards the goal of him realizing that Swara is indeed his soulmate; and Swara in turn, realizing that she has come to love him so deeply. 😳 waiting very eagerly to read more, to see how you being them to that realization.
Loads of Love,
