Nahiii!!!! 😭😭😭

Wimbledon has been Armageddon for me this year!! No Rafa to start with, Nole out in Round 3, and Fed in SF.

I care 2 hoots about the final. I am indifferent to Raonic and I absolutely detest Murray. 😕 I won't be watching. Will probably be updating Epilogue 2. 😳

Hey Shru🤗🤗🤗

You already know how unforgivable late I am in reading and commenting on this. The only advantage of having deprived myself of the excellence of yet another beautiful story from you, is that due to the lateness, I got to greedily lap the whole thing up all at once and did not have to go mad waiting to find out what happened next 😃. I am sorry this isn't a chapter by chapter comment as I usually do it but hopefully the words will convey some of my appreciation and what I felt 😊.

Means a great deal to know that you loved the story so much. 😳 🤗

Truly a powerful and griping tale sis. The concept in itself I loved. Soul connect again but when the memory loss track was first announced Lanny and I had had a joking exchange about what if it had been Sanskaar losing his memory- on the basis the scope could have been so much greater for plot delineation. But I am viciously glad the CVs never did this in the show as there is NO way they would have done justice to it the way you can, and did do here. 👏

Again, just so moved that you felt this way. 😳 I wanted to do the very best I could, to this alternate retelling of the ML track, and I feel really blessed that its been loved so much. 🤗

The start itself was so intriguing and held the promise of what was to come. The description of the hospital and the unusual patient housed there was so nicely done, and his memories gone but the haunting hold SHE had on him set the tone perfectly and we were promised oodles of soul connect which we got, consistently and properly as we never did in the show. I also liked the subtle but realistic way little nuggets of his memory kept slipping back to Sanskaar, and especially the way he used his own faculties to make the effort- so natural and real.

I wanted to emphasize the aura and sheer power radiating from the "Man with no name". 😊 As I was mentioning in a reply to another comment---the part of the brain controlling the memory, and the part of the brain controlling one's inherent personality traits, are different, connected though they might be. Sanskaar had forgotten his name, his identity, his family background. But he hadn't forgotten himself--the traits that made him tick. He was completely, almost ferociously determined to recover his memory, to heal and return to wherever he had come from. Every ounce of his formidable will and determination shining through. And how he could be completely forget the person who has irrevocable dominion over his heart and soul? 😳 He just knew, in the very marrow of his bones, that someone was waiting for him, yearning for him to return. And that memory of Her, clear and profound, kept slipping into his otherwise completely amnesiac mind.

The second chapter for a treat for all Sanskaar Maheshwari fan girls and as one of the foremost in that stalwart club, of course I can applaud greatly 😆😆. The whole description of his incredible looks was - shighhh . No wonder I can't imagine a better hero than this man 😳. Here the start of the slow onslaught of his returning memories I briefly mentioned above really takes hold and it was so balanced, you could almost feel yourself there with him as he recalled little bits and pieces and started the first of his mental "jigsaw playing". Really liked how you took Sanskaar back to the time that he was full of vengeance and hate which made all the rest so much more believable. I had always hoped in the show that they would show Swara remembering the phase just until she was pushed off the bridge which then to me would have made her fear and hatred of Sankaar so much more realistic but anyway, here you took to that perfect juncture. Loved the logic he employed here in how he tried to remember Swara as he saw the gaps and where they were 👏. Even here there was that irrational but very real distaste of thinking her with his cousin- fabulous. Then of course came the reunion and that scene of him meeting Swara again (for him a first given the ML of course) was such sweet wonder and still conflicted enough to be sad given where they found themselves. Loved the bit about muscle memory and the rightness of hugging her 😳. And wham- I was so happy to see Ragini's reaction even then. I straightaway knew we would get the formidable Ragiini so many of us like and not the ridiculous parody they give us in the show.

😆 😳 I just couldn't resist that ode to Sanskaar Maheshwari. 😉 I remember, Lanny was saying that she loved the 6 paras devoted to Sanskaar's awesome good looks---and I replied that the 7th described his blazing, mesmerizing eyes as well. 😆 I am so overjoyed that you loved the descriptions so much, you felt you were right there with Sunny boy. 😊 🤗

We know how focused and brilliant Sanskaar is. Once his efforts had paid off in terms of in terms of the first of his memories starting to trickle back in, he would employ all his formidable faculties into fitting the mental 'jigsaw puzzle' as you put so well. To work out, logically, gaps in his memory and try to deduce what might have happened. And he certainly did feel that distaste and aversion thinking of Her with his cousin. 😉 Possessive, territorial Sanskaar---even though he does not yet realize it!

So glad you loved the SwaSan reunion, Sanskaar being quite unable to resist reciprocating her embrace. And Ragini knew something was off, all right. 😊 Having bitterly regretted how she let her own dark side overwhelm all the goodness within her, she certainly is well equipped to recognize signs of grayness/ negativity on others. And Sanskaar was her erstwhile guru/ mentor after all, before he saw the light, far, far before she herself did.

Then came Swara's perspective in the next chapter and so finely managed that too of course was. I ADORED the reference to the Tigons but the comparison to the Sarus cranes and is reasoning. The research you put in to those aspects and of course the legal ones later- you can imagine what a geeky research buff like me thought 😆- heart was singing in pleasure 😆. You know I am strange already so this won't surprise you. Here we got what felt the absolutely adequate and real reactions from ALL of the family, again felt just right in the flow of the whole piece and of course Swara knew her soulmate for life and next was not dead. She clung to that as did Sanskaar in the show (one part that they got very right in the show IMO). Of course we then had the real nub of the story, the start of Sanskaar's epic battle with heart v mind firmly grappling each other. Swara's tender care and understanding throughout made the thing gel as it should to me, and I really enjoyed how Sanskaar self introspected so beautifully as I would expect him to and even wondered what he had done so terrible that she would want to kill him and despite himself, even hated himself instinctively for that! The attraction was always present and the proximity of course made it heightened and he began to fight with that too, along with all else! Poor man! I really liked to read the little touches of the things Swara did when he was away and TOLD him about like with his clothes mixed with hers, which his heart of course slammed to hear about, making it all the harder to hate and plot 😊. Then we had Ragini. I wont say much as you know you always understand like some others how Ragini COULD and SHOUD be shown rather than as she is and here it was a nice way to look into that to observe her with Lakshya and start to dip into the able student Sanskaar had, who was capable of doing him credit and in this story certainly did. 😊

I am simply lost for words now Shru. 😳 I got very emotional while reading this and a few other close pals' comments. This Fic really was a labor of love in many ways; I had poured a lot of research and a whole lot of emotion into this, and I am feel so overjoyed and blessed that you loved this.

I wanted to explore Swara's background story a bit here, delve into her formative years that shaped the person she is, the strength of her beliefs. And yes, with that soul deep connect she shares with Sanskaar, she would never lose hope or assume he was dead. Again, so very happy you loved all those SwaSan moments after he returns. There is definitely a heart versus mind battle raging within Sanskaar---but where Swara is concerned, his heart always has the clear edge! 😆 And I did want them to have realistic time and opportunities to communicate---for her to tell him how much she'd pined for him, missed him so terribly, but never lost hope that he would return to her. It certainly made his heart thud furiously, and made it all the more difficult for him to feel that bitterness and vengeance. 😉

Wow Viji- Chapter 4 was all sorts of power packed! It seriously did cover a lot of ground like you said in the intro and your real toil was clear and bore results in my very humble opinion. This was so detailed but had me so involved from start to finish, I don't think I can write enough on it as it will take a new post and will be rather banal compared to how good it was:).The whole further insight into Sanskaar's character which brings him to be the incredible man he is, along with the way he superbly planned the charade he set out on, all made sense. Really liked the etching of the friendship with Nakul:) Always will maintain a nice friend role misses from the show so thank god for sensible FFs:). Ofc Sanskaar hired PIs, never understand why billionaires like the ones Maheshwaris are shown are so useless in the show. This is how its done of course and here that was delivered. Beautifully plotted out with the nuances on law and I won't descend on a detailed discussion on that or on Brexit- I have to live all that in real life in far too much detail as it is 😆. The Sanskaar-Ragini interaction is however what really stole this chapter. This was the best of what we used to love to see. A true battle of wills with a worthy opponent who may be just slightly behind her one time tutor but her guile makes up for his sheer brilliance which she perhaps lacks 😉. Really enjoyed the whole thing intense and was gripped throughout. When Ragini managed to get over him, it was truly a thunderbolt moment for Sanskaar and made me chuckle 😆. Serves him right in this 😆.

😳 😳 🤗🤗 As with Chapter 3, Chapter 4 really was an intensive labor of love, Shru. Really touched and humbled that you loved it so very much. Yes--the legal aspects and loopholes which Sanskaar plans to exploit, are very well planned indeed. Given his formidable intellect, his brilliant imagination, and his sheer guile in understanding both the letter and the spirit of the law, we can expect him to devise some very thorough strategies. 😊 And he certainly would use PI's to try to dig into what had happened in the past 15 month period. Can't imagine Sunny not doing that. 😊 He is just too thorough to miss that out.

I so enjoyed writing that battle of wits, wiles and guile between Sanskaar and Ragini---guru and shishya, mentor/master and acolyte. 😊 So very happy that you loved reading it. Yes, Ragini doesn't quite have Sanskaar's vision or perspective, nor his absolute brilliance. But she does have intuition, guile and a whole lot of wiles up her pretty sleeves. 😆

Really happy that you liked the portrayal of Nakul's back story and of his absolute loyalty and devotion to Sanskaar. I do feel he thinks of Sanskaar as his elder brother, his idol, his hero and best friend. A quasi paternal figure, almost.

I also loved seeing Swara take charge of the pregnancy fiasco and seeing it all from Sanskaar's admiring eyes felt so nice 😳. And then the end of that chapter with that soulfully stirring kiss and untimely interruption which somehow made it all the more sweeter and what I knew would have to come after even more anticipated 😳. Lovely writing there and throughout Viji.

😳 😳 Sanskaar certainly admired the sherni avatar of his wife. 😆 I was completely lost in SwaSan dreamland writing that kiss 😳 ☺️, even as I took some rather sadistic pleasure making the call come through right then. 😆 But Sanskaar needed to remember the complete truth I felt, before he and Swara had taken that step further.

Then we come to the finale. The way Sanskaar learnt everything and his incredible remorse, so redolent of how we all fell in love with Sanskaar Maheshwari on the show. He does everything with such soul! When he hated and planned, he did it so well and when he realised his errors, he repented in the most amazing way ever and became the Sanskaar I still don't see how anyone can resit. I was so swept up in his honest and totally open confession and you know not for one moment, did I have a doubt as to what would come next 😊. You had etched their connect and understanding so well, I just KNEW Swara would totally understand, accept and succour him in his moment of greatest need just as he had always done for her. That is the SwaSan I love and adore and want to write about and read about. And this was perfect! As was the scene after ☺️☺️☺️. Such a beautiful love making scene- truly transcended the physical as I so feel they do. And the morning after- sigghhh. All set to rights so perfectly and sweetly.

That was the Sanskaar we all so adore na? The one who does everything with such integrity, passion and devotion. He'd already come to realize/subliminally recall the depth of his own feelings for Swara; and had long abandoned any doubts he might have had about her emotions. He knew she loved him too. And when he heard the truth of all that had transpired from Nakul, he felt that absolutely consuming remorse; with all the sheer force than only an inherently good hearted person can feel. He had strayed from the straight and narrow path, sure. But the measure of the man is what he does to remedy that---and Sanskaar, like he does everything, repents and atones with all his heart and soul, too.

That soul connect between SwaSan, their enduring, wonderful bond; ensured that Swara never doubted him for a second. She knew he would never have done anything to hurt her or her parents, or her unborn sibling. And she'd realized, when he came back several weeks ago, that he had some misgivings and doubts about her; but she had always been confident that their love would win through in the end.

The scene after----I was even more lost in SwaSan dreamland while writing it. 😳 ☺️ As with a couple so deeply, passionately in love---their lovemaking transcends the physical and really does convey the sheer mingling of their intertwined hearts and souls. SwaSan are true soulmates after all. 😳

Truly as I said, a pleasure to read from start to finish Viji. Loved it and hope the lateness doesn't detract from the appreciation.

😳 🤗 This comment means a lot to me Shru. Just so glad you read and commented when time permitted.

Love ya xoxoxo

Loads of Love to you too 🤗

Lucky darling!

How do you manage to do this ?? every time striking right chord of your readers..You know what we love reading and its vowen your tale with all those elements which would make it I say it again BLOCKBUSTER

I was singing my dil goes hmmm reading it

😳 ❤️🤗 Yaar, you made me so emotional with this comment, I can't tell you. 😳 I am generally a little teary after finishing a Fic, and your wonderfully warm words made me feel so, so touched. Really helped me that day! 🤗
You made my dil go hmmm too! 😊

I totally loved how you didn't straight away jump into HM part and gave a definite background mixing business with pleasure😆😆 Sanskaar has so many asankaari ideas😳 ..Can we please induce some in his brain in SR😉.btw I loved all of them *cough*😆

Yeah, i really wanted to give a little background of how Sanskaar pours all his effort into taking their firm to new heights. He feels a lot of remorse for again slipping (though briefly and incompletely) into that mood of bitterness and vindictiveness, and attempting to plot against his family. But with Swara's unwavering support and love, and with his own steadfast nature, he realizes that there is no point in wallowing in a sense of remorse alone. He wants to do something constructive to atone for his actions, to make amends. And Sanskaar being the resolute, focused man that he is, he pours all his toil into making their Thai venture a superb success.

Sunny boy has loads of Asanskaari ideas. 😳 ☺️ Or maybe they are Sanskaari after all...since SwaSan are very much married and very deeply in love. 😉 I loved writing all of those ideas too. *cough* *cough* 😳 There is some subliminal effect, of all our deepest wishes on the serial!! 😆 We got that wonderful "camera angles implied" smooch yesterday na? 😉 😳 Hai... I am still in dreamland.

.My dil was going hmmm on loop while reading update and their HM was..☺️

☺️ Thanks dear. I loved writing it, and am so very glad to know you loved reading it, too. 😉

But but

One part takes away the crown for me ..sanskaar recalling memory of proposal .It was so so touching yaar. It was first thing he recollected.that heart felt proposal 😳 I keep telling you that your placement of scenes and dialogues is just bang on darlin ..and my babies happiness after that😳.. ..and those lines of waves ...the convo between swasan beyond beautiful👏👏⭐️

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks Lucky (please allow me to break the no thanks rule occasionally 😊). I am really touched and overjoyed that you loved the weaving of that amazingly magical Gerua proposal scene, into this juncture of the story. And feel so blessed that you loved the SwaSan convo on the beach, Swara comforting Sanskaar that even if he didn't remember all their moments from the year past, he could rely on her, see them through her eyes, her memory. She was looking forward to building new memories, new wonderful times with him, and didn't want him to feel disheartened. And though Sanskaar felt very comforted by that, I really wanted him to start regaining his memories as well. 😳

I am a huge fan of beaches and seashores...I really wanted to send SwaSan there for their honeymoon, and for that setting to capture some wonderfully magical moments between them.

This should do till next one comes because it just makes me want to dance with joy ,my swasan shipper heart😳 thanks for this ..I am breaking a rule but had to .😉Totally loved it and of course you ..🤗🤗

I am breaking our no thanks rule too. 😉 Your words meant a lot to me, darling.

Love Loads

Lucky

Same here. 😆 I was so upset at Federer's loss...but then the episode---that superb marham patti scene made me walk around with a dreamy look and a wide grin on my face. 😉😳

Gosh that was such an amazing epilogue..
The beginning was beautiful with those heart touching lines..and very apt for Swara and Sanskar..they don't have the strength to stay away from each other and are ready to every perish in the power of their love..those lines were so powerful and intense..

My Dearest Piya 🤗🤗

Throughout this Fic, your warm words have meant so very much. It has been tremendously touching and motivating to have your very perceptive, superbly analytical and extremely insightful responses. They always make me feel so very blessed. 😳 And your comment on the epilogue really made my day.🤗

I always knew even after everything Sanskar will not be able to forgive himself so easily..his guilt will not let him be..and he will surely repent and we could see that in his way of working so hard and letting their company go on even greater heights..but if it was not for her other half..he would have never been able to forgive himself..Swara standing with him at every step making him realize time again that it was not his fault surely would have reduced his guilt bit by bit..it was also good to see Ragini coming back to herself.. Yes somewhere she still be scared of him..because of the hatred she saw in his eyes but I m sure slowly she was also come back to herself..but it was nice to Ragini repenting for the deeds and standing for them..it was like a payback when she was the one who plotted..it was kind of a remorse for her and she owed this to Sanskar and Swara and even herself.. She must have finally made peace with her inner self..

That is one of the features we love and admire so much in Sanskaar---the fact that he does everything with so much integrity, passion and dedication. He felt so much remorse at his actions, that he does something very constructive out of that, to redeem himself. He devotes himself into taking their firm to ever greater heights, to making their Thai project a mega success. And with him literally pouring his blood, toil, sweat and tears into that endeavor, it is bound to be crowned with such glory as could never have been seen otherwise. And always, he has Swara steadfast by his side, to assure him that though he might have briefly gone back to feeling bitterness and vengeance (and not as intensely as before, anyway), he still would never have done anything dire to harm her or her family.

Ragini and Sanskaar respect each other a lot; and now they are glad that they are allies. It might take a bit of time before they are fully at ease with each other, but there is a definite mutual admiration there. Plus, Sanskaar feels assured that the most vital person in his life---Swara---is very crucial to Ragini as well. Likewise, Ragini is now reassured that Sanskaar feels a lot of brotherly love for Lakshya, who is the most important person for her.

Ragini certainly feels a lot of remorse for the extreme vindictiveness and spite she had shown to Swara and Sanskaar in earlier days. With the steps she has taken, she did her utmost to expiate for her sins, atone to the best of her ability.

Oh and the much awaited honeymoon.. The way you described the locations and the places..they were so so beautiful and even more than that our pair was even more beautiful on those mesmerizing places..it must be a dream for every girl to go such kind of places with her husband and it was so romantic of Sanskar to take Swara finally on their honeymoon which I don't think we would have ever got on the show.Sanskar has turned so shameless and naughty..the way u described his simmering eyes taking a look at the villa..gosh he is so intense and a predator whose moves can be dangerous..Swara needs to beware..

😳 ☺️ I was really keen that our golden couple should go for their long overdue honeymoon. 😉 Sanskaar certainly has unleashed the passionate lover and naughty, flirtatious husband within himself. Swara is in for a most romantic time in Koh Samui. 😳 Her hubby certainly in in quite a predatory mood...but she is certainly enjoying it, and reciprocating with intensity of her own. 😳

Their chemistry is amazing and passionate..each of the scene was so beautiful and pure..it was like they were coming together after ages..their thirst for each other insatiable.. Which could never be quenched..each one of their romantic scene was amazingly written.. I sometimes blushed myself reading Sanskar each of the plans for his so innocent wife and executing them too..but still each one of them was mesmerizing just like their love, passionate and everlasting..

Thanks so much, dear. I literally lost myself in SwaSan dreamland while writing those scenes. ☺️ 😳 I was a bit nervous that they should come out tasteful and subtle while at the same time conveying the passion and sensuousness inherent in SwaSan's intense and deep love for each other. Really glad that you liked it so much. 🤗

The conversation between them in the beach was also beautifully written..Sanskar was lost as to why his memories were not coming back and Swara so very lovingly made all his fears on not remembering their previous moments go away..I always used to think sometimes that Swara 's love never matched Sanskar love's intensity the way he loved here..but I m so happy to be proven wrong here..the way you have showed Swara here..how she loves him with each cell of her body..the intense love in he eyes..and the way she said that she remembered the memories and it was enough and together they will continue to make new ones waiting for the day the past one will come back and till then he could see those memories thorough her eyes..it made me speechless..and then the beautiful romance that followed afterwords.. It made me all speechless.. I always wanted to read a scene where they wake in each other arms after the passionate night..thank I for writing that..Sanskar mischievousness I so cool..love this Sanskar..

Again, I am so overjoyed that you loved this scene so much. I wanted to portray that soul deep connect between SwaSan. The fact that Swara would always be by his side, lavishing absolute and unconditional adoration on him. Sanskaar did feel disconsolate that he was unable yet, to remember all their precious moments for those 15 months. But Swara was very comforting and intensely reassuring---that even if he didn't regain his memories, she would be his witness. He could see those marvelous moments through her eyes, she would narrate everything to him. Their love really is very special indeed.

Glad you liked the morning after scene. 😳 😉 And naughty, mischievous Sanskaar is certainly very cute! 😊

And then he remembers the proposal he made to her..the way u wrote it..literally I cannot find the right words the way you let him remember that proposal..it is one of my most favorite scenes and then he goes back to pick Swara in his arms twirling her around and repeating the same words he said that day..it brought tears to my eyes and then they slide down together weeping for finally having that moment of bliss they were waiting for so desperately..and then Swara answers back his question half weeping half smiling that she will always be there with him forever and ever..the love the emotions and the nature too..waves coming back to the sands.. It was just so beautiful..gave me goosebumps all over..words are not enough to describe this scene..you bring them alive by every word you write..

Thanks again dear...I am lost for words, at the sheer warmth in your words. You make me feel so very humbled and blessed; its always a privilege and a pleasure to have your comments. That ending scene was very emotional for me to write, I was a little teary eyed with the intensity of emotions when I was typing it up. I am so very moved that you loved reading it too.

I just want to say again---you have really been so motivating throughout this fic, with the intensity of your reading, the insightful feedback you have given, and the warmth of your words. 🤗 🤗

Can't wait to read the next part of the epilogue..

I hope to have it up over the next few days. 😊

Piya

I am not sure the usage is correct but right now what I feel is "drenched in love and passion". That was a dream sequence for all swasanians...what they wish to see but never get to see sequence . You have fulfilled that dream for us dear. So much love , passion and romance,what else can we ask from a swasan story. I am still at the beach with the sands under my feet. You literally took us to the paradise.

Also I can never stand a swaragini scene in the serial but here you portrayed ragin' s feelings very well that the camaraderie between them felt genuine and touching.

Viji I want to read all parts together once more to bask in romance and feel love.

Thank-you once more for the epilogue
