I love you. You know why. My same sentence which I pmed you on 31.🤗

Sree 🤗

I knew you would love that especially as I had read PM and chuckled as that was already being written then. Love back atcha 😃

Unres

Shruti 🤗,

I know its way too late. And I hope you will oversee the delay in unressing this one.

Ditto here so all cancelled both sides x

Janki - well I do get her feelings. She was wronged and this was her way of getting justice. One main point to be noted here was that all her feelings for Swara- her soul child like she claimed her to be was wiped in one second when Laksh chose Swara over Ragini. The worst part was that Swara didn't even want to marry him in the first place. Now I get where Ragini got all her talents from. Janki is a true queen alright just that all queens don't turn out to be white, some are dark. If she wanted revenge she could have extracted it from her husband or Shomi but punishing Swara is not right but then again when you are blinded by revenge then I guess everything seems fair. It feels like she brought her up just to sacrifice her in the end to satisfy her needs. Too cruel don't you think? Janki could have asked swara and she would have happily laid her life for her, but backstabbing like this was just hight of cruelty.

You totally cracked the Janaki I have tried to show. That is the fair summary of her indeed and yes, she is "dark"- not like Sanskaar was when we first met him, in a way of a white knight branded dark and fighting it with his soul of pure silver, but she is truly rotten- dark in the real sense. There is no justification for her, but she is who she is- I personally modelled Janaki very loosely on someone I myself had the misfortune to know and I barely survived her so I know first hand how dangerous people like this can be - there is no act too low for them.

What I didn't get is why contact Ranjit and offer him Swara's hand? Did she really think he would join hands with her? Did she not think of the slightest possibility of her husband knowing it and the consequences of it. Well he is a spineless person but her son-in-law isn't. And Sanskar, how did she think she would handle him? Fine he might be delayed had Ranjit joined with the enemy, but that even would have an effect on her getting her palace back and going home. Or was she planning on staying with Maheshwaries for the rest of her life?

Yes, she did think Ranjit would be tempted, not just for Swara but for political power too and she had known him since years. Also, the truth is when you are desperate you make mistakes no matter how clever you are and here she did too. She didn't think Shekhar or Lakshya would ever know- she has spent a lifetime hiding her true intent and actions. She was ready to temporarily sacrifice even Baadigunj but if she was in cahoots with Ranjit, that could be offered back to them. Or she would find another way but she wanted to strike and destroy Shomi and Swara at all costs.

Now our white queen - Annapoorna. I really did wanted to know where Annapoorna went when all this happened. So she was on a manhunt for Kaveri. And her letter to Sanskar, I knew she had plans for it. But like I have already mentioned before I thought this would be after the kidnap when he returns she might hand the letter to him. But this was way better.

Yes I wanted Annapurna to be a step ahead and actually go after and get Kaveri. As for the letter, I felt that it would make a bigger impact if Sanskaar read that straight up and connected everything 😳

Sanskar had finally understood and have a clear picture on the events that happened in the past and also on what is happening now. I always wanted him to reach there to save my Pawan. You know how much it effected me especially Uttara's last words to him when he left to save Swara

"Please come back quickly Pawan. I will be waiting." Ohh!! Only I know how I felt for days that followed.

"You were waiting and I did come back." - This was the best part of this chapter. I LOVE IT AND YOU TOO FOR THIS ONE SENTENCE. 🤗

I know you loved that and I hopefully repaid your love by the way it panned out 😉 Sanskaar was there to save his soul brother and Pawan had to return to Uttara 😳

"I am coming for you Princess, please stay safe for me." For the sake of all let her be safe or what follows will be beyond what happened to Samkalgoonj. But somewhere I want to see that side of Sanskar and how he will deal with all who betrayed his princess.

I hope the Dark Knight did not disappoint in what he did to those who harmed his love 😳

I'm waiting Shruti for that. Devendra will suffer the worst of deaths but I'm waiting to see what he does to the women who has hurt his princess in the worst way - Janki ofcourse. Ragini might escape his wrath as Pawan might shed some light on how she helped him in finding Swara. But the rest have already registered their place in hell😆

Hopefully 34 answered those questions 😃

Love

Sree

My hopes are for Pawan, although I'm not sure what you have in store for him it's heart breaking to see the fallen hero.
Love,
Saku

Saku dearest 🤗

Finally tackling replies in stages as I know I am so behind but as I said, have been anxious to complete the sage and throw every moment needed at it 😊

Unres

Hi Shru,

I'm so glad I am one of the readers of DK, cause the quality of this one is exceeding my vocabulary by the day. You're marvelous with words, plotting and one of the most wonderful writers I've ever chanced upon!😊

Awww, Saku- that is such a sweet thing to say, I am so humbled you think that about my writing 😳😳. I see so many faults in my own work and you guys really keep me going.

I have to confess this before diving in to details that I don't detest Janki for whatever she did. That last blow was horrible and she is nonredeemable I agree, but I can see how and why she become what she is at the present and that came through so well in this chapter. So yeah, I see her as a possibility and a victim of circumstances, this is a first for me where I did not hate the absolute traitor.

I genuinely hoped to explain why the characters who are negative too behaved as they did. That particularly applies to Janaki and Kavita. There is still no justification especially in the case of that last act of Janaki, which puts her beyond redemption forever to me but save severely psychotic people like Devedndra, most people had something that began their descent into the pits. Those who are able to crawl out or remain untainted are the better people and Janaki just isn't!

Before launching in to the chapter 32, I have an unres pending on chapter 31, I will revisit that at some point, but some facts that I loved in 31 is worth of mentioning now.

I'm glad that Pawan remained Lakshman till the end and fought as much as he could against the impending darkness from taking his brother's girl. he was a knight till being stabbed in the back and that, being oblivious to the monster in the sack (called Janki Gadodia) is none of his mistake.

His exchanges with Uttara are wonderful interlude to the relatively dark phase of DK we're journeying through Shru, these too really have some awesome, yet subtle chemistry don't they?

I love Pawan from the time I visualised him. Lanny and I always said how we missed that in the show Sanskaar never had an awesome best friend and this was my way to give him one. And Pawan and Uttara- ah yes, much scope and chemistry there. Perhaps fodder for the future, who knows?! 😉😃

As for Ragini, I enjoyed the mouse in the eagal's shadow turn her character has taken. She was just a trained serpent dancing to the snake charmer's tunes it seems now doesn't she? Somehow it never reduces my loathing for her. Still she deserves whatever happening with her, for what she has done. From what I gathered here, she never dreamed to play this intense or dark or evil a game huh? The unmasked self of her mother seems to unnerve her mostly.

I couldn't agree more about Ragini, she never took responsibility. Yes she was raised wrong and to hate but she could have not fallen where she did. Her culpability may be less than Janaki's but it is there and hope my ending for her will seem just. She probably didn't expect it to get as ugly as it did but before then she herself didn't blanch at having Swara accosted and even almost killed (as she would have been if Sanskaar hadn't been who he is).

I still worry for Pawan, he is in the den of Janki Gadodia in my opinion and nobody is aware of that. I hope Uttara will remain at his side but still, Janki would do her utmost to stop her truth from being revealed.

I hope you liked the role Annapurna played there 😉 and the risk to Pawan being negated as well as that to SwaSan later.

Coming back to Janki, as I originally wanted to, I find her insecurities well based. We know, Shermishta never meant ill, we know Shekar has no fault other than being blindly in love with his second wife, we know how pure and innocent Swara is...but Janki at the initial state did not. So whatever she felt, the fear, the insecurity, the unwanted and cheated feels are justified. Then by the time she should have realized the above, she was too far gone, her soul lost to shadows, she would never again take the effort to understand the extensions to her family.

In the normal way, I would have hated this woman, like I did with Ragini. But wonder is that I don't. Your portrayal is such that I understand her perfectly. Congrats at managing that!⭐️

Thank you so much Saku. Yes, she had her reasons but of course she still had a choice. Annapurna went through some pretty bad things including infidelity of the worst form but she never let it corrode her soul, Janaki did. To me, I find her irredeemable for her act of handing Swara to Devendra. I love that you see the other side of her I etched- that is truly the compliment that touches me here!

Then coming to Annapurna, can I love her more? She is the prefect queen for every situation. The wise and the calm. I could never have hoped a character to behave any wiser than she did with the letter to Sanskar and all the other steps she had taken to uncover the ploy at work. What I admire about her is that this woman, knows who her enemies are. That is a wonderful quality to have as a queen and she is doing that perfectly. Her going after Kaveri bai would be interrupted by misguided jealousy at the old swindles by someone but it is not.

As you can tell, from the start of this Annapurna is a character I have adored and I have tried to infuse a lot of my admiration and what I think of as a truly special woman and Queen into her 😃 And yes! I see a strong woman as not always self sacrificing in foolish ways but also those who have the guts to take down those that harm their own. I would forgive any ill to myself but not to my loved ones 😊 and yes, she is not after Kaveri due to jealousy or she would have done it ages ago, but because she wishes to prevent her harming her children and family.

As for Sanskar, I'm glad he returned. Although I know him chasing after devendra is what that beast wants in the first place...I'm just glad he is back where he is needed.

He had to be back and trap or no trap, Sanskaar is knight enough to combat what must be destroyed.

At that point a word about my old turtle is needed too. How much I hated this man just a couple of chapters ago? Do you remember I almost ate my facewash when he proposed Swara? But now, I can gladly say, he is a respectable man, a mature and honorable king. I'm a turtle fan for life, just for what he did back there when he received Janki sa's letter.

I very much remember the anguish poor Turtle caused you especially with the face wash/ toothpaste confusion 😆. I had always meant him to be a decent man 😉. If I can turn someone to his fan given how much trauma he caused you my job is done!

Now, I hope the finale is really really close. The action gearing up, can't wait!😳

Ah, yes and done too 😃

Loads of love,

Saku

Unres (finally)😛

Hey sweetheart 🤗

I've been jumping to write a comment on this for so long😆 finally snatched some time for it😉

I know it was a serious chapter but some things have made me so happy that i dont wanna start with the sad stuff..

firstly, your writing talent man!!! its just super amazing.. this is a proper novel, not an amateur fanfiction and i'm so glad that luckily enough i've stumbled upon it.. the back story to every character, the multiple plot lines running parallel to the main one.. all are ⭐️

Awww Akshata - this made me so so happy - thank you so much for your very kind words 😳😳. I have written this as a novel but to know from a reader that they think I have achieved that makes me feel on top of the world 😳

Secondly, Pawan!!😃😃 Of course I'm elated that he is alive but what has me in near reverence is the WAY that he is... He held on to the wisps of life just so that he could manage to tell Sanskar about everything- portraying the immense strength, true, but also the love, trust and faith for his friend, coz he knows how important it is to "Sanskar", thus its his highest priority... wow!! just wow!! And that lil touch of 'you were waiting and i came back'... OMG!! such feels!!!❤️

Pawan is truly special to me in this and in his own way (just very differently) he is a hero as much as Sanskaar is hence he did what he did and his feat would be remembered. He was my Abhimanyu, only I wanted him alive after. And yes, he deserves love too and whilst that is not a story for here, am glad I built the "feels" up for that 😉😳

Third, Annapurna's letter was so straightforward and simple, but it still dripped of love n mamta alongwith the essence of a queen.. wonderful.. followed by Ranjit's confirmations (i sincerely respect this guy now) and the brothers' cooperation.. Such feel-good factors...😊😊

Annapurna is another stalwart of DK- a truly special woman in all the roles she performs so well IMO. And yes, Ranjit was and stayed a gentleman.

Coming to the serious stuff, you have very beautifully worded the story which explains why Janki Gadodia is who she is.. Actions of men have always had repercussions on women, from many centuries, but every soul has the power to rise from the flames, all bright, instead of charred... I do pity her, but not for her sob-story, rather for how she has trapped herself into villainy.. She was wronged by her husband, yes, but she reacted not with hurt but with jealousy, coz she lashed out against Swara n Sharmishtha.. She engulfed herself in darkness and shut out all possibilities of light that were offered to her, thus herself creating pain n hurt.. And its sad to see someone destroying themselves.. But this is just my belief n opinion, one may disagree😊

No no, you are totally right about Janaki. I wanted to show where she came from without justifying her or making excuses on her behalf. She did have a choice as everyone does but often those blinded by hate cannot see that. She dug a deep pit, sold her soul and fell in so deep she cannot crawl out. Her own hate is her greatest defeat yes

The Sanskar-Pawan part literally made me cry😭 Mixed emotions of fear, anguish, worry, joy, pride, (and a twinge of envy perhaps😉)... I tend to be a nautanki many times😛😆

Awww- it pleases me so much as a writer to read this. And please, don't apologise for what you call nautanki tendencies, you must see from the way this is written that I would totally appreciate that 😆

I know the next chapter is gonna be a difficult one, but i'm still eager about it, coz i know even if its painful, it will be worded fabulously and that's something to look forward to (saggitarian optimist, you see😉).

Aha, a Saggitarian! I am a Virgo and have many friends who are 😳. So glad you anticipated the next instalment and hope it lived up to your expectations 😳

Much love,

Akshata😊

Chapter 33:

Lanny 🤗

SwaSan fans ke bure din aa gaye hai. Hum sab jagah bas ho hi rahe hai. Waha VaHe rulaate hai n yaha tu😭 😭

Yes, I have great timing huh? The combination of the show and writing something like this as you know was beyond draining, don't recommend it to anyone

I loved your description of the Mahaakaal Haveli & how the home reflects the true nature of its owner. Dev looks like the Indian version of Ramsay Bolton🤢 Much like this chapter, I can say so much about this man but I just do not have the correct word with me. A whole night's sleep & even now Dev's cruelty leaves me speechless🤢

We had the RB discussion and yes, he is as vile. Anything that causes pain gives him pleasure- a true rotted soul beyond any good in him 🤢

Like I told you once before I feel very very protective of DK Swara. How many times will her heart break? How many times will she be betrayed? For how long will she suffer for her parents deeds? My heart breaks for her. Such a pure innocent soul & all the people she meets are such utter snakes😡

Swara is a darling ⭐️. She does raise that protective instinct in me too and that is why I always write Sanskaar so so tender and loving (I know he is anyway but there is that really territorial guarding part of him I try to highlight with Swara 😳). She has had the worst luck with certain people but then she also met Sanskaar and he loved her 😳 and despite all that happened to her she stays pure and unsullied- I love her 😳

I hate to admit but Kavi is fully redeemed in my eyes. By the time she died I almost felt sorry for her. In her short & sorry life she at least did two good things: first she saved Swara from Dev & then she saved Sanskaar. I hope she finds some peace after death & is born to a better mother in her next birth.

Yes, I sort of changed my plan for Kavita. When I began writing this I could see no good or way out for her and detested her as I detested Kavi in the show and that whole phase but the dictates of what felt right for the story took over for me and I felt it more justified this way.

Veer! 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 The tears came in earnest when he was injured & Sanskaar had to find a place for him to rest😭 😭 😭 My brave horsie xxx

I knew you would cry at that; I know how much horsie means to you

Dev got the death he deserved. I would have loved it had wild animals feasted on him while he was still alive 😡 I hope they throw his corpse to the vultures😡 The code being Sanskaar was awesome.

The end was touching. Even here Swara has to bear the trauma of watching her love die. How much more pain have you planned for my Princess 😭 😭 😭 Please no more now. She has to find happiness now & that happiness has only name: Sanskaar❤️ Pawan, Veer, Sanskaar, Swara...they all have to come back! They all have promises to keep...there are people waiting for them😭

You already know how many painful scenarios I tried to visualise for Devendra. But I don't like unrealistic if I can help it and some of them I would liked to pen would have been overkill in the way the rest of the script is written. He got a dishonourable death and am glad Sanskaar made him suffer excruciating pain that he inflicted on other for so long. Yaayyy for liking the living key bit 😳. Yes, I didn't spare the golden two their share of pain but hopefully what came after made it all worthwhile- after all to appreciate your best dreams you need to have walked through your nightmares? 😳 Ah no secrecy needed now so hope 35 made you rest easier 😉

Shruti, dear, I really dont know what to say.. I was gripping the table tightly and praying so very hard during the initial half, my fingers became numb..😆. For once, I actually admired Kavita's mention, coz you presented her in such a way.. 👏The interaction with Swara, her entire thought process, her final act.. There was this peculiar relief, that finally she is free of the demon himself, and has done something productive through it...

Aww Akshata- just replied on your other comment to and thanks again for such appreciation of my efforts, reading comments like this help you float somewhere nice 😳. I felt that Kavita had done a lot of wrong but in death she made some recompense and death in its way was her release but she went with the comfort that she did one good deed at least. It was also to show how Swara's purity did help her as a woman even like Kavita felt something give way in her shallow heart at that.

I have always mentioned in no plain terms how magnificently you write war/fight scenes.. They are sensational, marvellous and hands-down THE best i have ever read.. Every detail of every single action, the strikes, the turns, the angles, the strategies; the whole scene just plays out in front of your eyes.. Fabulous👏 I loved Sanskar's 'no-mercy' attitude, bone-chilling yet totally seeti-worthy.. His valiant stance, the gale of varied emotions which combine to become the firepower inside him which makes him an indestructible force, a killing machine.. Gosh!! How passionate is he!!

I am a huge fan of medieval action, not so much of guns and all (although love good cowboy movies too 😆) but good old fashioned war fare with swords, archery that sort of thing. So what you say here, makes my heart swell with happiness- thank you so much! I spend ages thinking each angle of strategy and see the whole thing play out and only stop trying and editing until it seems to flow properly 😳 Sanskaar is the ultimate war machine to me in this so am so happy you felt I did him some justice 😳.

Swara, she is better than an angel.. Brimming with compassion and love for all.. Such a pure soul.. Hurt, broken, and still standing tall, still worried about others, still putting others before herself...

The way you described the yin-yang of the temple and the mansion, the mahakali-mahakal link, I can relate that with Sanskar and Swara.. There is a saying that "Shiva without Shakti is Shava".. Similarly Swara is the force which drove Sanskar... And he was the ultimate warrior.. they heralded the end of evil... And of course, their cosmic connection.. Impactful!👏

Totally- Swara is an angel- she is spirited and brave but utterly kind and selfless and loving. She bears no ill will and her heart is pure gold. No wonder Sanskaar loves and treasures her so much- and she him - the very epitome of soul mates 😳. I very deliberately wrote the whole thing that way in terms of setting. There was Paashpur and the Temple there and then this Haveli- dedicated to Shiva and his consort in terms of the referencing. I also chose Shiva's "raudra" roop and not the "saumya" roop as he had to annihilate his enemies and yes the ting-yang, Shiva-Shakti references were to tie into SwaSan 😃.

The last part... well, I'm a big believer of 'true love means happily growing old together' and I'm still hoping that comes true here.. but this part reminded me of this quote i had read once- I am not afraid to die. I am only afraid of saying goodbye to you forever.- It fits a bit here... Their emotions were so fabulously worded, awesome!!!⭐️

Aha- you knew didn't you 😉. See I think love is growing old together but can also be that raw force which literally kills you if your soul mate dies. Living then is just the body and here I wanted to show that. You have read 35 so you know what happened but should they have died here too, to me, that is not sad. I don't know- maybe I am very strange, but death has never really held the fear or revulsion that other people have for it. It comes for us all, how we go is what matters 😃. Glad you liked how it was penned 😳

You had no reason to be wary, darling.. this chapter was super-awesome, as always😃

More drama, confrontations, revelations to come in the upcoming chapter,,, Can't wait!!!!😛😛

Much love,

Thank you so much sweetheart- this means so much- mmmwah.

Akshata😊

P.S. To think i started with "i don't know what to say"...😆😆😆

Hi Shruti...

I started reading 'Dark Knight' recently. I so badly wanted to pour in my appreciation here, but had to catch up with the entire story for that. But it would be a crime if I don't speak up even now. No words of praise would be enough for this marvelous masterpiece. Nothing I say would do justice to my feelings. I simply won't be able to put them into words. I really want to write a lot. But for that I need time which I'm lacking now. I will be back soon to bare my heart here. But till then all I can do is bow down before this magnificent creation. You are truly gifted. I would love to read more from you.

Love,

Ashi.
