Hello shruthi😊
It's been very long and I owe a ton of Apologies for that. I'm so sorry I couldn't come back that often and make time to share my views on those beautiful, enthralling last pieces of work that always had me on the edge.
Each and every piece was a marvel. I started missing them from the scene in jal mahal where swara and sanskar have confessed their love and finally realised how stupid they have been to not let the other person see it clearly. The kiss was as much as an epic as the confession was. Can I say that it was blazing hot the way it was depicted only ending cutely as if they were two teenagers caught in the midst of something.. mind blowingly good. And The guy literally took an interest into adding precious gems to those hair pins? Really how precious she is to her that he was bent to turn something so trivial to something sublime reducing her to happy tears as he presents it back to her on that special night.
And I was truely flabbergasted ,even with the subtle hints you were giving all the way , by Janaki's real intentions. That woman was really something. The moment she started voicing her concerns about sanskar's faithfulness towards swara there were such negative vibes spewing all around her. I felt betrayed.. Annapoorna surely did carry the brains a queen would need and kudos to you for shaping up someone fickle minded into something as befitting as this one.
I don't have words for kavitha or devendra. They have been the most vile characters I have ever happened to read in any work. And I can try to understand the kind of strain one has to put up with to bring something as cunning and dark as them. They were truely diabolical. Though I pitied kavitha ever so slightly for the fate she called upon herself the end was justified.
Couldnt you have given one tiny glimpse as to what happened with pawan and Uttara. Surely one glimpse? I hoped that somebody would have noticed it while she insisted that she be beside pavan every ticking second till he wakes up but looks like the whole clan of maheshwari's including sanskar were so dense to sense the obvious. I still hope that you would try something on them. Pretty please.
And the final chapter. God! I don't know how many people you had blushing just for reading that piece. You nailed it.. Oops;) you know what I mean. Its was perfect in everyway yet it reminded me of the other similar piece you wrote. Forgive me if I don't remember the name, but there you mentioned in the foreword that you were not sure about posting it. But there you were again.putting out some powerful emotions so subtly and sensibly. Swara's contemplations and sanskar's unrelenting resolve to be the man she needs him to be..a commendable chapter.
And it all ends where it started. May be they were Samar and kalyani after everything.
Over all a magnificent piece of work shruthi. It will really be missed. And I will come back and read this one over and over again just like I reread a harrypotter or a Jane austen's..
Thankyou
Love
