I keeep falling behind

dang it !!...

*Updated for 29*

After the drama of the last chapter i.e. 28, and Sanskaar's response I was glad he left Pawan behind !! It is important to smoke out that person who started this entire hullabalooo...*i'm still flitting between Ragini and Janki*...

Loved the silent goodbye between S&S...giving and taking strength from each other's symbols...*awww*

Seriously amazed at how awesome a relationship you've managed to weave between Pawan and Swara...at once her inquisitive brain tries to get out the information out of the lord, but he is indeed crafty, not only manages to shield the truth, but also gets her smiling and laughing...PKJ is the beshtt !!

KAVITA

While i read chapter 28, I was very worried about the return of Kavita and like I said Sanskaar's response thrilled me to no bits and after reading 29, I'm glad Kavita re-entered. As always you've managed to bring such a intriguing character.

Kavita has been the most interesting of the lot. Till date we've always viewed Kavita *or whatever little we know of her* through Sanskaar's eyes. Therefore it has always been the courtesan who fell in love with the valiant prince and them being star crossed to end in that state was the tragic part of it. We always believed Kavita to be the innocent soul who fell prey to a nefarious scheme and had to part with her life and her love. This is why reading about her background, the path she took, the choices she made was so bloody brilliant !!

So the vile DSR returns...surprised and yet not surprised that Kaveri and Kavita re in his custody(? is that the right word). Nice to see the handiwork of Swara on his visage and how he lovingly cherishes that memory 😆😆😆

So when I started reading the whole exchange between DSR and Kavita, as always I felt disgust. This character is just ugggh...and that he glories in this sadomasochistic behaviour is all the more telling of how painfully pathetic his soul is !! Nobody deserves that.

Interesting that DSR plans with Kaveri, he obviously gives some women the credit and probably goes to show how manipulative and vile Kaveri herself is !!

The blast from the past was very very well done. Kaveri's rise to power while taking advantage of AP's illness shows her opportunistic brain in the best light...and it is but natural that Kavita sees this as the way of life or what needs to be done. Her moral compass is skewed pointing to the north her mother shows, and not really to blame the women, the men of those times who have no problem in being infidel, aren't really the pinnacle of morality !

It made me 😆😆 that she was bored by Adarsh...lol...and interesting comparison between how Lakshya handled her vs. Sanskaar...and also at that point that Lakshya not only did the noble thing and moved away from S's path but also didn't soil K's position of flirting with whatever royal that moved. +2 points for Luxjiii...!

Coming to Kavita...no doubt she fell in love with him...in her own way...and like you say..who could help falling in love with him ! And I sorta get why she panicked when Sanskaar wants to elope. All her life she's working towards glamour, and when in that brief moment she figures she can not only receive the rich lifestyle but also the dignity of being married she was in a nice little bubble. Sanskaar's stand must have popped that bubble pretty quickly. It's all good for a hardy soldier to say let's run and live in squalor/hand to mouth but to have escaped that years ago only to go back to it.plus incur the wrath of her motehr must have seemed unimaginable !!

Ofcourse betraying Sanskaar in the way that she did was the lowest thing she could do, but maybe it was some misguided sense of a plan working. Something taht someone truly in love would never do, and something that as a reader I would never forgive her for doing. For what it did to Sanskaar and how it ripped him apart not only in the eyes of the nation, but from his own family and from his own soul was just not worth it !! Which is why it is so amazing that when Sanskaar first meets Swara it is clear that the emotion he feels for her is faarrr higher and purer than it ever was for Kavita. He has only truly loved one woman, and that is and will remain Swara...sooo whooopeee !


Kavita's betrayal and actions proves the brittleness of her so called love, and like you've written the fear of poverty higher than anything. She's quick to come out of the mode of the moping lover girl and adjust to her new surroundings, because well she is like her mother learning to see where her best interests are. Only for that to shatter, but compromises were made *also add extra ugghh for DSR*

For her to survive DSR is surely a mean feat, and like I said before, no body deserves that ! *but still not forgiving her for Sanskaar*

She's stupid that she believes her mother and DSR will let the two escape in any form !! nutcase...!
That she conveniently switches to hate Swara and is even okay to subject another person to DSR's brand of torture shows probably where her character fails !! She's lost what could have been her love, and now she blames someone else for it...and is ready to go to any lenghts...that is clue enough that she's never understood Sanskaar and probably never will !! Heart feels for Swara and what is going to happen to her in the future chapters

What a wonderful chapter Shru...and thankyou for introducing this Kavita to us...mwaaah

*Updated for 30*

Swara bechaari pining for her prince !! I'm sure she's amazed as well about the intensity of these heartches she's feeling on being separated from her prince charming ! The entire womanfolk of the palace could do nothing to soothe her mind and brain. At this rate once they are married, Sanskaar has to take her along for all his missions 😆😆 Shuru karo training !!!

The Sujata conversation took me by surprise, obviously because I thought it was somethign AP would broach !! But I guess a mother is a mother and Sujju is one too and just like AP shares the bond with Sanskaar, she does with Lakshya...and she doesn't want to see her sons squabble or fight or be in duress. Bless her !! That was sucha well done conversation. Yes probably lacking the finesse of AP, but every bit heartfelt as it would be from the other mother. Was also super glad that she said she believed Sanskaar and Swara and does not question that Ragini did make those threats.

Equally befitting this difficult ask was Swara's reply. She won't start or cause any trouble but if Ragini messes with ehr family, well then god save her !! Spoken like a true Rajput princess :) Sabaashh !!

AP's reaction and response to overhearing a conversation, which now looks like she engineered, is an interesting thing to ponder upon. So many layers, which one are you peeling now Shruuu 😛

Sooo Pawan had Ragini followed...curiouser and curiouser !! The plot thickens as they say...!!

Uff this letter from Kavita...have to say..Kavita knows how to play with words :) Hmm...are Janki and Ragini in cahoots ? or is Ragini working alone...or is Janki working alone...the spy didnt mention any scroll in Ragini's hand..which makes me think she didn;t deliver it...uff uff..

coming to the letter...really want to hug Swara...this is the start of the troubles...and no Sanskaar in sight either...that talisman that he left with her...she needs all of it and more doesn't she !! Can feel her agitation and pain...and no surprise that she left her Janki maa to figure it out...*pssst why is Janki looking at the letter in concetration...is she looking for a hidden message...aaa reveal the suspenseee nowww*

Swara's muddle is all too real...given that her earlier reluctance at confessing her feelings was out of fear that he still loved Kavita, I can see how the scared part of her heart would bring that to the forefront with a gale force !! and that part of her brain wants her to verify if Kavita is truly alive...*DO NOT GO TO THAT TEMPLE SWARAAA>!!!!*

*Phew she ran into AP and thankfully did not pick up a spare horsey and go to any temples*

I like how AP is calm and composed and asks the logical set of questions...something that in the frenzied state Swara is in, wasn't able to do. insider job..yup yup...cause maximum damage...yup yup...buttt loved how she brought the most important question to the fore...let's analyse everything else...but what does this mean for Swara's feelings for her son...and I thought this was such a magnificent mum moment...AP reacted in the way a mother would do.. !!

And that question...that was what brought Swara to the reality of how much she loves Sanskaar, and how much he loves her...and double chummmiii for AP for bringing her to that !! Madly...Irrevocably !! IN LOVE...woot woot !

FOr the second time today Swara gives a great reply...she trusts Sanskaar and the depth of their love and what they mean to each other and she's pretty sure K is delusional, but if for wahtever reason if he chooses K, she will sidestep *pfft I can see she knows that Sanskaar would never do that* hurrrayyy for pyaaar ki jeeet... !! *whistling here*

Slightly confused as to why AP made Swara write that letter...yes ofcourse it's a good way to let loose and it most definitely had that catharitic effect on Swara, but does she have any other use for it ? Also...who does AP suspect...definitely something that has triggered her brain...i now remember that conversation with Kaveri they had..>Ragini was there...as was Janki...as was Sharmistha...sooo who out of these 3 took advantage of the information there...and used it as an ace? hmmm...

Loved Swara's reply to Janki as well...this girl is all amaaazeee aaj !! standing by steadfastedly by her love is making me whooop for joy !! they both deserve this...and so glad the trust runs deep ! pheww...and no misguided notions of giving up or sacrificing either...yayyy Swara!!

Wonderrrful chapter Shruuu...will read 31 now to seee why Sharmishtaa interuppted...but you''ve managed to keeep the beautiful supsense going for so long and so well...kudos...

P&J infintity as alwayss...

Unres

Shruti 😡

Sree 🤗🤗

I will provide the hugs anyway 😆

No hugs for you this time. 😡 How could you? Seriously how could you😡. I was so happy that Kavita was dead and was rejoicing that she will never return at least here. And then you went ahead and brought her back to add to my misery. The worst of all this is that I have to now imagine all their "intimate" moments which they shared with each other and the tent scene where she "died" in front of him resulting in his years of torture and finally the revenge plan. Oh God!! I hate her beyond anything else in this world and would have loved to pretend that she never existed in the Swasan world especially DK. I hate myself as I understand her demanding to leave Swara as according to her Swara is a just a compromise he is making and nothing more as he is in love with her. But my question here is if she could do this now couldn't she do this a bit early? Oh no!! she had to wait till she ruin everything! Well nothing will be ruined as we know our Sanskar and he will bring down heavens for his princess but I'm worried for the same princess. She is too good a soul to understand anything. Looks like Sanskar will have to leave without having a word with Swara on this new development and when he returns he will go to rescue Kavita and this is bound to create some misunderstanding between the two (Thanks to that excuse of a sister she has who will use this situation very well). But since we are nearing the end and you are not as sadistic as our CV's we can expect a sooner clearing of the misunderstanding. Though somewhere in my heart I wish she trust him on him choosing her over everyone and everything else.

Sree- my dear, I detest Kavita in the show and here you knew didn't you that she had to come in and be dealt with? I see from the below that you did so I know it's fine and actually this outburst is very soothing as the writer as I wanted a strong reaction from everyone. See in this chapter we don't know what Kavita's motivations really are and in fact even if it is Kavita but you know my way- I have cleared this in 29 itself. As for SwaSan- this will have an impact and yes he will leave without discussing this with Swara. He has to leave and anyway- what to say at this point in such limited time? My believed to be dead ex lover you are already insecure about is back? I don't like to drag yes so whatever I do it will happen rather quickly. Whether you like what happens or not, you shall tell me 😃 but yes be braced!

Oh if I could tell you how much I hate to admit that this make sense to me as to why you needed to bring her here. This is just to tie all the loose ends, clearing some doubts left untold. Honestly I don't believe a word she said. Kavita was once a beautiful memory like in another lifetime but now she is nightmare for me and I believe you must have heard an earful from everyone for this little stunt of yours J So let me stop here with Kavita and the possible mess she is going to create.

Another hug here is needed 🤗 Yes of course you understand- you are so part of the DK world in such detail that of course this makes sense to you 😃. Yes, she is unfinished business and her mystery has to be solved not just for us but for Sanskaar too before the end. I know no one wants Kavita and neither do I but I have to deal with her I feel for the story I must tell 😊

Ragini another pathetic creature about whom I'm absolutely disgusted about. Though I don't understand when and how she got to know that Kavita is alive but you are going to reveal it all soon so I'm not going to unnecessarily strain my brain on these two creatures you have brought to my "Epic Bedtime Story"

Ragini- yes I will reveal things and as to how she knows about Kavita- ONE possibility is that you will remember she was there when a certain Kaveri Bai came to pay a visit? 😉 That is all I am saying for now!

Now coming to all the parts where I could hug you so tight that you might not be able to breathe and kiss you too🤗 🤗... This has more to do with Pawan in this chapter than Swasan. I'm more in love with him in this chapter than before.

I'll take a hug and for Pawan or SwaSan - all is good for me 😳

PaRa conversation with Swasan. Wow!! I can't explain how much I was waiting to see how the situation will be handled here. Since the last chapter left them all confused not knowing how to handle the situation infront of them. All in silence.

Pawan a true gentleman not looking at Swara who is in (well we know what state she is in, don't we). And keeping his gaze fixed on Sanskar throughout his conversation. And Sanskar did to some extend succeed in masking his embarrassment. I love my Duyo-Karna or shall i say Krish-Arjun. You know why I always refer them as Duriyodhana and Karna and not Krishna and Arjun right. But here I felt they somewhere were reflecting that unconditional love and friendship these two pairs shared. Willing to do anything for eachother including fighting with each other for the other's happiness. God I love them and love you for giving them. The way he acted as a protective brother and friend not only to Sanskar but also to Swara urging him to chose wisely and not leave his only chance in getting true happiness was simply mindblowing. I love him too much now.

I loved the way Uttara was teasing her brother and Bhabi. Especially her saying let me help you with your hair so that you look less rumpled. And the other one where she asks her brother to heave her bhabi's hand for a short while.

I know everyone was looking forward to the PaRa teasing and am glad I didn't disappoint there 😃. Pawan is a gent yes, he doesn't cross his boundaries just as Sanskaar wouldn't 😊. Sanskaar was rather blas and yes we had the convo about Duryodhana-Karna and their trust in each other as friends. I like Krishna-Arjun of course - my immense love for the Mahabharata and especially my Kanha. I wanted Pawan fierce in his defence of Swara- it said it all no? Uttara I feel is the sister Swara deserves as we cannot keep hope from the one she has.

Sanskar is he so blinded by his own love that he is unable to see the blushing sister of his and his friends confusion? Isn't he suppose to be a smart one here? Maybe he is too lost in his princess to see anything else.

Sanskaar won't see anything like that about his sister and it's just as well for now 😆

I loved the Sanskar being teased by Pawan and also him trying to pocket the comb and pins which his princess left with him in a hurry.

"Pawan! I am serious. If you say a word about this to ANYONE I will break your jaw! Heck - I am tempted to do it anyway, just to shut up your infernal teasing." I thought I'll not quote but couldn't help here. Look at the words... I couldn't help laughing at this situation Sanskar found himself in and the look on Pawan's face listening to this. (As this is a movie which plays infront of my eyes - but you know that already)

I love this sort of bromance as we know- teasing and threats of hitting and just manly fun but also real affection 😃 And please- have told you the quoting is happiness for me 😳 And for the below- I just wanted to show exactly that bond you said you picked up so I must have done something right.

Then came the part where he wanted to share his happiness with his soul-brother. But their silence was in itself a celebration and both were enjoying it. No words needed for them to convey the un imaginable joy and happiness that Sanskar was feeling and Pawan couldn't be happier for his friend. I love them more than Swasan in this story. What a bond!!

"Their eyes would stray to each other often enough, and their attempts at pretending that those silent exchanges were entirely accidental and nothing significant, fooled no one." I loved this sentence.

That is SwaSan for you- their each look can speak volumes 😳

Sujatha, well I must say I'm impressed by her actions. I wasn't expecting this reaction from her anytime soon. But thank God she realised that her son's true happiness lies with his princess.

" I won't be one of those mother in laws who will plot and plan and ruin things. I cannot promise you won't feel the sting of my tongue from time to time, as there isn't any point being a mother in law if you can't be bossy eh? "😆

"Stay happy and make him happy - he really needs it!" Really touching words of a mother , afterall a mother only needs the happiness of her child.

I wanted to get the Sujata -Swara convo done quickly as of course that would otherwise hang over. As I said there is no magic transformation and soon you may see something that will make you shake your head again but that is the nature of real human interaction I feel.

And then came the next part for which I could hug you to death.🤗

The jumping through the ledge again. I asked you once and you have made it a permanent way for him. But I love it😳

"You are too tempting Princess. The wait to this wedding seems longer each day that actually brings it closer, and we still have some way to go. But I know I have to wait, and I shall have to simply keep telling myself it will be all the sweeter for that." This is not the first time he is saying this he said this in last chapter as well "I got carried away. I want you so much! We need this wedding to happen quick, as in yesterday! I don't think I can take much more of this." And I could agree more. I needed this wedding much before yesterday, even before they returned to the palace had the situation and circumstances been right then.

I like the sneaking in now and it means less prying so felt he would use it more often 😉. Well yes we all want the wedding but not the time for it, and there is much more and some not all pleasant either so we need to see how all this goes before wedding bells can ring

The "Gangaur" pooja and Sanskar meeting Swara in her chambers. She always uses his title when she is upset or cross with him. I loved the way he deals with her. He handles her so perfectly how could one say that they are not soulmates I wonder?

Yes the title is her taunt to him and he knows that 😆

"Sanskaar! You didn't eat properly? When will you learn? You have been running around all day in the heat and dealing with all sorts of things. You just don't take care. Come on, eat now, there is plenty here. What am I to do with you? Why didn't you eat straightaway when you came back?" Shouldn't this be his question? I mean he has to do a lot of drama and planning to get her to do something which he wants her to. What is he going to do with her? I love this concern of Swara when it comes to Sanskar. She forgets everything and starts scolding him as if he is a child and imagining him in that state bring a smile and joy that I can't quite express by words.

😆 Yes that question should be his too! They are both as bad as each other, that is why they are perfect for each other 😳. Swara really does forget herself when it comes to Sanskaar or rather she is now absorbed into him so only he really matters 😳

Okay now I have a doubt here. I have read this part quite a number of times and still it seems you said something and I'm over imagining the situation. "Fortunately though, it seemed as if Janaki and Sharmishtha had accepted Swara's excuse of wanting to retire early and simply walked to their own bedchambers after some momentary hesitation outside." Here did they really believe in Swara or did they just thought of leaving her alone for sometime knowing that he might be with her. I just not able to clear this one as my mind say they deliberately chose to believe in her lie as give them some time together. I'm worng, aren't I?

Hmm, no they didn't know Sanskaar is in there. Even for the most advanced mothers in that day and age they would not allow that 😳. It was only meant to imply that they did know she was out of sorts and thought she was resting so didn't interrupt but were concerned. But no this time they did not deliberately give her time with him, as to allow him at night in her bedroom would be too much for them 😊

The exchanging of talisman was so beautiful scene to behold. I loved where he tied that chain around her neck and said "It is a black stone, now on gold. I will replace it with a "Mangalsutra" but until then it is a sign that we are wed in our hearts anyway, my love. Wear this and stay safe for me."

And then again the sleeping arrangement that started since Haveli came into being. Have I told you how much I love it? Sometimes gesture of love and devotion is all what is needed to fill your heart and give peace. It does that for me. Her complete faith in him and his love for her. That is what this means to me. "They were transported to the world they had created amidst the havoc that was wreaked around them and upon them, during their time at Sanyogghad and settled against each other. He gently stroked her hair and she trustingly rested her head against his chest, closing her eyes peacefully. They both felt a sense of calm descend over them. There was passion simmering in the background, but this transcended any physical urges for the time being. She felt the security and promise of his own safe return that he exuded, and he felt a sense of purpose flow through him, and the confidence for their future that awaited his return. " Couldn't have said better myself.

Really happy you liked the symbolism there and the moments they shared and one more night of succour and love before they have to separate for now 😳. I deliberately made that part about love and comfort and just enjoying each other but not in a sexual or even passionate manner as felt that was appropriate in that moment.

Great this is the longest comment I've written so far (21/2 word pages). I started this with an angry face as i wanted to end it with a hug. Love you for this chapter as we expected Sanskar will chose only Swara under any circumstances. For him she is his wife and only light in his life, and he will fight for her, or in his words he is a fool who is will threaten war, aannounce his feelings infront of the world and if all oppose is willing to kidnap her once again but not leave her hand for anything. Willing to forgo everything he has or owns just for her. His choice is clear but with people like Ragini around I worry for Swara.

And no matter the length, love it so thank you and the detail makes it so special for me 😃 I am thankful for the sweet ending and also happy with the impassioned beginning as it only shows involvement with the story 😃. Totally the point- in the show and all there was such a hated track of Sanskaar giving into stupid demands from Swara herself to pacify and keep Kavita happy at the expense of their love. Here I wanted to be clear that Sanskaar has no intention of giving up Swara. What comes next and how Swara will feel I cannot reveal but we shall see. We know now what Sanskaar feels, promise you I will end the suspense re Swara very quickly too!

Now 29 will bring more trouble in DK land with Kavita's return or even if its a trap its trouble waiting for them. But since we are close to climax I have much high hopes in regards as to what is to happen.

You have read 29 so I will wait to see that you thought but hopefully it makes one person's intention and thinking and even where they are coming from clear I hope.😊

Love


Sree

P.S. Shruti, my dear, I read DK daily and by that I mean daily. My day gets over only if I hadn't read atleast some parts if not all of them. The only time I don't read is when I'm having migrane so strong that I can't sit and read. Otherwise it is my bedtime story. When you read something over and over again for a long period we tend to memorise it unintentionally. It is what happened here too. I've and still am reading it too much that I can quote most of the lines from the early chapter as well.(Most as I read my favourite parts more than often)

I have already told you how much this means to me. It isn't something I can express adequately but you don't know what it means to know that something I wrote inspires this much love and interest. You guys have really been human muses for DK and I'm so grateful. It isn't enough to sum it up, but I am slightly speechless! Thanks always for this love! I feel this sort of addition for work like Pride & Prejudice and can quote you verses from it and other works so you saying this about DK overwhelms me!

P.P.S I was waiting to see the reaction of Sanskar when he comes to know about PaRa. Though I think he will be happy to know that his sister is in love with such a noble man he might endup convincing his friend and family to accept this relation. There is this movie "Friends" in Malayalam, where when the guy come to know his sister is in love with his friend tell him that he should have accepted her and that he couldn't be happier for his sister as he knows what a gem of a person he is. He persuades his friend to accept her and what is in his heart, as he keep on rejecting her saying he will not belittle his friendship by falling in love with his friends sister. I can see Sawan having this conversation but with you I expect something even more thrilling than this.

There is a plan for this and it is rather different to what people may think. I have not refined it yet as first it is all about DK of course, after which I desperately need a break but let us see 😉 If it gets penned I feel sure you will like it 😃

Re-edit

The shorter I try to make it, the longer it becomes 😳. Would you believe if I told you that, I wanted the mangalsutra scene during their tent days with an exception that when I pictured that scene I viewed it as him giving her sindoor promising to come back for her after clearing his name and retrieving the map(this would be before sending her back to the palace). Because even at that point, I wanted a grand wedding for Swasan where Ragini will burn seeing the actual preparation😈.

Glad I can deliver the magalsutra wish too. Yes, in the tent he was never going to send her away as circumstances would overtake them- I didn't expect them to be parted then 😉. And also I like subtle stuff usually so didn't want an over dramatic scene with sindoor being filled and all. Let's see what you make of the conclusion before thinking of wedding 😉


Dearest Sree

Replied in blue above.

Huge thanks and love always,

Shru xoxo

*Updated for Chapter 25*

Shruuu...so sorry for delaying so much on this, but I know you will excuse me :) I'd like to reiterate that these udpates have been quite refreshing in my otherwise boring days !

I will update comments a chapter at a time if that's okay with you...

My Priyuuu 🤗
I already told you how much I missed you but want to say it again! I hope you are better as despite these awesome comments transporting me to a very happy zone asap I am concerned that it should not make the injury worse? But I hope the recovery is full and final and I have already read below more than once 😳 Thank you!!!

Swara's grey mood complemented by the grey weather is such a lovely comparison ! I feel for the princess..she reaches that fountain which not only marks the start of the journey as you've put it, but also start of her relationship with the prince...the thought of whom is causing her heart to rip ! poor baby ! 😭

Yes, lashings of pain and confusion- all a perfect foil for the greyness which is how I felt writing so infused it into the weather.

I love the connundrum the two mothers face, believing Swara equals believing the other daughter is a fiend, almost a monster who wanted to slay this one ! But still so glad that Swara stood her ground and did not cower under the triad,especially when she speaks to the two mums about layign the blame where it belongs !

Yes the mothers I feel cannot be blamed here or anyone else for that matter. What do they do? Turf Ragini out on the street? But yes I wanted Swara to defend Sanskaar and tell her mothers that her pyaari behena tried to kill her not Sanskaar.

Shomi realising her daughter's condition giving way to her realisation of how much Swara adored the prince is sucha lovely perceptive mother moment ! only they can sense such things without much being said. Given that she knows the kind of duress women go through and having lived through that humiliation, it's only natural for her to feel apprehensive ! Loved that entire portion.

Shomi isn't a vocal mother or a really overt character but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand. There may be hidden depths to Shomi not yet plumbed perhaps? 😉

Also, the way the tide has turned, and Swara's earlier security blanket her Janki maa, is no comparison for the peace and respite Sanskaar bought her. That she misses his company is such a lovely throwback to all those times at the Haveli and since then. Buttt, my poor babies have to wait until later and for now stew over some hot coals !

Yes, nothing but each other will do for these two now but as you say hot coals await!

*Have i mentioned before how i love that despite all the relationships that you deal with adeptly in DK, i really love how the strategy and mechanics of war are never lost. It is pivotal to the plot and you draft it in so craftily 👏👏* ...waise still don't trust Adarsh :P

Thanks for this. I try to keep the script authentic. I always wanted it more than just a love story hence the other angles in here and of course it doesn't feel logical or right that the war and other political issues that plague them as royals are forgotten.

This massive ceasefire and impasse that the men have reached at, it seems like you say a luxury they can afford to take while they busy themselves with the war and other points. I'm 😆😆😆 at all of Shekhar's reaction *i don't know why*...i mean it's natural that he feels for both his daughters and what Sanskaar has done to his family, but Sanskaar is so amazing that he gives two hoots and continues with his agenda..positioning the guards was the funniest...it's the most natural thing Sanskaar could do, but for Shekhar it must seem like such a slap 😆!

Haan, this is so funny and I didn't consciously think it till I read this- Shekhar is in a bind and Sanskaar knows what he wants to do and as you say doesn't give two hoots 😆 The posting of guards- I just felt that was so Sanskaar!

Swara's state of mind..ufff...💔...bechari...clutching to the last vestiges of good times with those clothes and the puppets and other finery he had purchased ! Swaraaa...tu kab samjhegi that he loves you equally !! *i know this answer now but still..at this point wanted to ask her that😆*

I love the- wanted to still ask her that bit 😆 I did make her finally understand so of course had to build the frustration before then 😆

Veeer is back..woohooo...well he's back cos Swara wants to see his master, but still Veer is always happy to help :P Just like Varun is for Uttara...smart girls i must say :P ...and what a fruitful journey taht was...one gets to meet him..the other gets the news she needs ;)

Yes the horsies are back and with them a convenient excuse for two eager princesses 😳 And ah yes it was a productive meeting but Swara didn't even realise that

Pawan..as cheeky as ever...never missing a step when trying to tease Swara...only to stumble when she returns that favour...haha..loved that entire conversation...from eager Uttu's baatein to Pawan's mortification !..later when Pawan vows to not fall in love seeing Sanskaar's state it made me chuckle...beta tu bhi gaya...just like your bestie !

Pawan only stops when he is effectively bested and now that he is going the same way as his bestie like you said, an astute Swara seem to get it so it gives her perfect ammunition! Loved the "beta tu bhi gaya"- this makes me laugh loads for some reason 😆

Sujata...sometimes she just makes me want to slap my forehead !! sigh..how that must have shattered Swara's heart and guilt tripped her further !

Sujata is Sujata- the crassness cannot be avoided and in that moment she was cruel even if she wasn't doing that through a vindictively planned move

The moment that these two see each other...haiii...time really does stand still doesn't it ? The thing that i reallly adore about your Swara and Sanskaar is that wordless understanding of each other's sitaution *Except ofcourse the most obvious lovee question*..buut i meant them assessing each other's appearance and state of mind while on the surface talking banalities !! *bubbbles*

Arrr- they are so cute no? I get endless bubbles about/ for these two 😳

She's still nervous about perceptions, and he totally gives a darn and infact goes on to tease her...fabulous...that conversation filled with little agitations, frustration, longing and yearning gives way to the bestest kiss ever !! What passion, and how you've brought that charged moment alive with your words...👏👏👏 and seetiyaan ! Annnd then the best kiss leads to that fight/argument..which makes me want to knock their heads together and say ufff bachhhon !

😳😳 Glad you "liked" that rain drenched outpouring of emotion leading to that rather stormy kiss and then of course the aftermath- it couldn't be all dreamy and nice after could it?

Like in chapter 24, Swara is still saying the right things and in her head she thinks this is only a compromise, and she can't stand it !! and her response is making him think she doesn't love him...the words they use is manifesting into total different imagery in each other's heads but actually stemming from the deep love and care they have for each other!!

I really hoped that the dialogues with each other showed how their confusion and MU is realistic and makes sense. It itself it's not a huge thing and what they are each saying is of course so meaningful taken in the way it is meant to be but as they're both stuck on an original misconception, it all has the wrong effect

His internal monologue is jsut a beautiful example of that..how deep that emotion runs..haiii..okay i now wnt to give them a hug..they really don't deserve thsi misery..*yes i've read 27 and 28...still :P*

*soooper chapter Shru...will come abck with comments for the other 3..i hope to finish this by the time you upload 29, so I'm not far behind*

Mmmwah for these comments and about to reply below too 😃

*Updated for Chapter 26*

We need the storm, the whirlwind and the Earthquake !! Oh we so dooo !!

😆

That entire spectacle at the arena with Sanskar triggering off the commencement of the ceremony had such a rich gladiator-esque feel to it !! Loooved the attention to detail, from the actual ceremony and it's significance to seating Arrangement to the crowd's reaction..and ofcourse Sanskaar's supreme skill !!

I have been so pleased with everyone's reaction to that torch ceremony, it's made me feel very pleased! Thank you!!!

These two knuckleheads have as blazing a chemistry as the fire that burnt in the torch ! The sight of him makes her forget her resolve to stay away, and the pride that she displays makes him break out into that wonderful smile !! sizzz...! but as always the mummies...4 in tow are silently observing what the bachhas are upto...like i said..who more perceptive that mothers !

I love that conflict in them- their hearts do rule their heads no matter how much they try. They simply cannot resist each other and it is so glaringly obvious- my sort of love story 😳 Yes the mothers see the seething undercurrents and observe, each thinking their own thoughts to varying degrees.

This perpetual confused side of Shekhar !! Hates Sanskaar...needs Sanskaar...is against Sanskaar...but needs Sanskaar !! 👏👏 for how Sanskaar deals with him...give respect but door se ! I do wonder why Shekhar who was so quick to disown Swara is not even venturing into trying to see what this prince and Swara are trying to say against Ragini...if so quick to judge Swara on Ragini's words and the words of society, surely you'd delve a little more into Ragini on Swara's behest...nope !! yeh toh ulta Swara the bojhhh ke saath deal karna chahta hai !! damn youuu Shekhar...damn you !!

Shekhar again 😆 I can only laugh again, but yes Sanskaar as usual balances it just right. Abh kya karein? Honewaale sasur hai so respect dena padta hai, and yes Shekhar is quicker to judge Swara in a way, not that he thinks it like that. Ragini's advantage is that she stays hidden and even when truthful Swara has been in the focus so the scrutiny and judgment she gets is also more, but hopefully the glory too 😃

Full marks to DP for making amends...for whatever his follies were in the past, he truly sought out to do much better...elevating Sanskaar and his men to full glory is definitely something that starts out that, and you could argue that elevating Sanskaar to that high position could be something not too farfetched for a family member...but the next announcements were the icing on the cake !! Giving Pawan that level of respect in such an open forum...*whistle*...but then he not only ices the cake but also adds a sparkling firecracker as a candle...by calling out Swara's contribution !! Well done DP...

Sanskaar's pride for Swara echoes her reaction for him from a while ago...adorable !! But yeh zaalim duniyaa !

Yes, see that is what I said before about DP. He cannot change the past but he is powerful enough to influence the future and he seems to be very determinedly doing that!

See this next part is what makes me so skeptical of Janki...while i agree it could just be an offset of her practical and regal brain that she sees how things are and calls them out for what they are...but still...it just leaves me with a weird sense of unease that despite the Rana's speech, she comes back to Swara's broken plight ? Surely (as Sanskaar says in the next chapter), the Rana's word means more than the glances of a few women...and for a lady whose dealt with way more in her life, she should be able to put this behind her and see where her daughter's happiness lies...unlesss she's doign just that but that daughter in question is Ragini :P ...okay not troubling my brain anymore, because I know this is DK and koi bhi..kabhi bhi is something I'll just have to deal with...Maybe it's her...maybe its someone else who'd prove to be more of a shock to me.. :)

😆😆 - sorry I am laughing here. Everyone is in such a tizzy trying to guess the ultimate villain or even if there is more than one. Adarsh is on the hit list, Ragini of course and now it seems Janaki! Also I get the confusion as I have from time to time strewn some red herrings so which ones of these are real clues and which ones will come through remains to be seen. I wonder if you will change your opinion of Janaki by the way she behaves in 27 when Sanskaar openly declares his hand? You will have to tell me. I know you have read but you didn't think there that she supported the suit but only when she was reassured that he WOULD come through? 😕 😆- yes wait for it to play out. There are some surprises left! And we will talk more openly on future chapters when some more secrets are unmasked 😉

In this chapter I truly felt Sanskaar's frustration at being away from Swara...how the change of scene took away that innocent freedom from them and bound them in shackles of proprietary and rules !! Add to that more Kabab mein Haddi(s)...Ranjit and Pradhyuman (why does my brain flash to CID's ACP Pradhuyman when i read that name...not my finest tv viewing moment 😳)...ok mr. ranjit...hands...eyes...noses all off the princess...not up for grabs...nada...it's a miracle Sanskaar didn't duel with him then and there !!

Yes!!! Exactly- they had so much more freedom out in the open on the run and now they are bound by so much- MU, society, the need for care for her reputation, chaperones and as you say the Saamvant and his baby ACP 😆 That comment about CID made me howl!!! I promise I never thought it when I just made up that name 😆

*Lakshya not in the vicinity cracked me up...avoiding his mother 😆

😆

Really did not like Janki's address to Swara...don't make it harder...*cringe*...poor thing, to be palmed off to an older man just to save the family from some ignominy seems sooo unfair..even if that time period had this as common behaviour ! Swara's outburst is amazing and I only wish Sanskaar had heard it then...but no hope or love lost...the fact that she puts it out tehre to her Janki maa...and stoutly refuses the marry the other saamvant is 👏👏..You go girl !

See that was a conversation that was difficult to have. Shomi should have done it but she's rather passive in a way (or seems that way) so it was left to Janaki and given what I have shown of Janaki and Annapurna this I felt is how either of them would approach it. But yes Swara was honest and said what she felt and she doesn't want anyone other than her Prince 😳 and Janaki accepted that too.

If one conversation between a mother and a daughter was crackling, equally amazing was the other one between mother and son ! *unrelated : how cute is it that yesterday Swara wore clothes he picked out and today he wears what she picked out*

Awww the babies 😳

Yes...back to AP and Sanskaar...Hurrayyy for frank talks and declarations *even if it is only to mothers*...I love how he wants her to take the proposal...to do it the right way..and have the queen proposition the hand of the saamvant's daughter...and also equally endearing is he thinks she doesn't love him, and owns up to AP without any qualms (given the time, she must really wonder if he cares about his ego :P)...and the hilarious part was him totally discounting Sujju's disapproval, because he knows his 'choti maa' would never speak against his 'maa'...smart bwoyyy !

See their discussion was them as Sanskaar was having it with the woman who is equally straight but don't you think she too reacted like the queen she is? Bound by her queenly duties and constraints? She didn't go charging to take the suit regardless either and just like Janaki did with Swara she also told him it was almost too late? As for Sujata Sanskaar can override her and you will see in the next one he does even more obviously 😉

💔..I can only imagine the anger he feels at hearing the news of the Saamvant's proposition !! His ever well thinking mother wants him to calm down and forget the princess but surely she knows her son better...surely she knows that he wouldn't let anything happen to his love...a spectacle is a small price to pay for that...hahaa...*rubs hands in gleee for next chapter*...Chanting Sanskaaar...Sanskaaar all the way

Hope you like the "tamasha" which I usually dislike but hopefully it was done in a "non-crass" manner! 😊

*Another great and fulfilling chapter to read Shru...so well packaged and it hits all the right notes on the emotion spectrum...**

Will comment soon on 27 and 28...but hurrray for this and mwwaaah...take your time to respond...so I can finish the comments on the other two...take care and don't work too hard :)...P&J !

Thanks a lot for this love! Will look forward eagerly to the take on 27 and 28! Am so grateful for this!


Dearest Priya

A peek into the twisted mind of Kavita Roy.. And through her the complete sadist mind of Devendra.. Yikes!!!!🤢 So well written.. I was swinging from irritation to apprehension to hatred to worry throughout...😕😕 The plot does thicken now.. Eagerly awaiting the next chapter...
Love,
Akshata😊


Hey Akshata 🤗

Please don't worry about the length of replies, I am thankful you still made time and that you are enjoying the read! That's reward enough for me! Yes Kavita is twisted in her way and I wanted to show what really drove her to where she is. Devendra- it weirdly chills me to write him although he is of course entirely created from my own (strange?!) brain I have always been somewhat interested in psychopathic characters and not in an unhealthy way- just from academic and social interest. I took a criminology module during my degree- I am not a criminal lawyer, thankfully, but the workings of criminal brains and why they do what they do has always fascinated me. Dev is that sort of character to me if that makes sense! You made me feel so much better about this chapter as it was not SwaSan oriented as such so am glad it was interesting! I will start on 30 tonight!

Love,
Shru xoxo

bt nw wht she z planing??swara ko harm to nehi karne wali??
missed swasan in ths part...
waiting for nxt part & swasanlicious updt pl if possible...


Thank you so much Sonu 🤗

That is SwaSan for you- they say so much without one word needed 😳. Those little gestures convey their love more effectively than elaborate speeches to me. I know some of you are not interested in Kavita 😆 but she is key to the suspense of the overall story so I have to stay true to that and hence this was the exploration of that. Well as you can see from her monologue she does hate Swara now so as for harming her, I suspect if she could, she will . I am afraid the next Chapters cannot be SwaSanilicous as such because they are apart now and I need to conclude the story without losing the grip Sorry in advance but the story has to be told and it is now about the other elements that affect SwaSan hugely so hope you will understand that and forgive any disappointment 😊

Love,
Shruti x

Dearest Shruti ,


I wont start off this one with an sorry as well..So let me get to the comment that has been long due.. Since you even update the next one .And i have yet to unres.

Dearest Nita 🤗

Yes please don't worry, you don't know how bad I feel for still not commenting on your FF too but I am seriously pushed for time like you! I just want to get next few chapters done and then will catch up especially once I end DK! Please forgive me for that!

I loved Part 1 so much as always,anything that is about Swasan being happy will make me love it but i really like Uttara and the way she teases both her bhai and Bhabhi..Swara needs such an loving sister in law since there is no hope in sister department. Plus Pawan and Sanskar bond is so special and unique, only Pawan understands how much happy his friend is finally after being in pain for so many years.

You are totally right- Uttara is the sister Swara really deserves as we cannot have any hope from her actual sister as you so correctly say! Similarly, Pawan is the brother Sanskaar should have had! I know Lakshya is no longer an issue as such for him but what Pawan and Sanskaar have is something different. I love bromance 😃

Suju was being Suju as always, but i liked the quick turn around of her character. I wont say she changed completely like you said but still she is not actively plotting against her .That one quality i love about her . And even if AP was more of Maa to Sanskar still Sujatha also loves him in her own unique way and she just wants him to be happy .

Totally- Sujata is herself! She said what she wanted to in the same rather crass but honest way she had used previously too, only this time for a better purpose! She does love her son yes but her love is rather short sighted but of course that is just her 😊

The Mystery person is really mysterious to me, i tried to guess but failed,so i wont guess and wait till you reveal it to me.

😆- a lot are going crazy over this and yes given how I myself change things around so much and confuse you all its best to go with the flow 😉

But Part 2 had to be my favourite in this chapter.. I really loved it. What with Swara and Sanskar trying to spend some time together inspite of the chaperones. Then him going on an important errand on he final day leading to angry Swara who fasted for him.


I so loved our secret meeting in the night. It was such a treat to read Sanskar pacifying his princess and finally getting her to eat. Words cant express how much i loved that part . It was really so good that i read it few times. Also i dont think i need to say how much i love there sleeping in each other embrace as i probably must have told about it lot of times.. Thanks Shruti dear for giving me awesome scenes like that..

Part 2 was the interlude I wanted to give readers and SwaSan themselves before the next set of rather dark chapters! I am so happy you loved it! That makes me truly glad and feels like my job for that section is somewhat done! I too love them sleeping together, innocently as they know their boundaries and won't cross them despite their passion for each other 😳 but them being together is much more than psychical and hence I am glad that comes across in some way 😳 Please- no thanks as I owe that to you all for the love and support to DK and me! 😃


Then came part 3, i was expecting it ofcourse some twist or turn as reading part 1 and 2 , i know it was too much of happiness for both SwaSan and me and i knew you would balance it out. But still the twist came as shock ,I know you will clear it out but i didnt expect it ,Happy that Sanskar was firm on his decision and i love him for his steadfast love towards his princess and i am glas he was not the only one on the know and Pawan knows about the letter too. Still knowing you , i am guessing this are going to get lot complicated before it solves itself out. So that the reunion would be much sweeter just like the last chapter. And i cant wait for that chapter.

Yes, Part 3 had to come and I wanted to deal with this head on. Oh you didn't expect Kavita or how she came into the picture? I will clear it of course, in fact 29 does explain what the Kavita angle is more fully! That was the aim- Sanskaar's unequivocal stance- he wants Swara and no one else, he won't neglect responsibility but Swara is way more than that! There are complications though yes and I will solve them quickly too but some angst is inevitable I am afraid!


But you know how much addicted i am to do this FF, so i wont be able to handle the suspence or handle another MU.So i am very sorry dear but i think i am going to wait till you update the next chapter or actually resolve the new conflict named Kavitha before reading Chapter 29. Since i wont be able to wait it out till you update . Please do let me know when you solved the new twist named Kavitha, i can catch up with ten chapter at once but i cant wait patiently though. I hope you understand Shruti , it really hard not to be able to read Chapter 29 as soon as i saw the PM but i decided this is how i am going to do it this time when i read chapter 28.

Awww- I do get the dilemma and I also get the need to read the next chapters. See, 30 will come soon and then I will work on the rest. As far as Kavita is concerned it is difficult to explain as there is a very firm plan here and you might find it very surprising. I will message you when I update and maybe there can be some more discussion over PM as I have to be careful not to spoil the suspense! 😉

Thank you for taking the time to post this Nita despite your schedule! Lots of love for this and your kindness and encouragement!


Love

Nita


Nita dearest 🤗
