Nynu...🤗🤗

I am back, after very greedily savoring the entire Fic, all 7 parts, all over again. I enjoyed myself so very much, I was feeling all sentimental and mawkish when I came to the end---because once again, the sheer poetry of Chapters 6 and 7 worked their magic on me. 😳 Amaranthine was always special---but as I said before, the denouement has elevated it to another level altogether. I know it must be difficult---if not impossible---for you to compare your own works and decide which one of your fics means more, is more special to you. It usually is extremely difficult for the writer to choose between her own work. All of them are a part of your soul, your creative genius, after all; an embodiment of all the love, tears, joy and emotion you have generously poured in for days, if not weeks. But we as readers get the luxury of picking and choosing favorites----even though that is quite often a tough ask in itself, given works as versatile and passionate as yours are.

For me, I had always loved your 'The Ballad of the Elements' and the Guardian Angel Series---especially Vilasini Visits II. 😊 But my most-est favorite-est 😉 among your fics, would probably be 'A Love Like None Other'. It was, and always will be, very, very, very special to me. I keep reading it whenever I have time, and I give a free rein to my hyperactive tear ducts. 😆 😳

But that said, both Amaranthine and Sweet Deals have carved an extremely special place in my heart too. Right now I am slightly biased towards Amaranthine---though that might change after my next re reading of Sweet Deals. 😉

Anyhow---that was an unplanned digression, I wanted to talk about the sheer marvel that was the last 😭 😭 chapter in Amaranthine, but I got diverted into fondly reminiscing about all your works. 😆

The best way (though still woefully insufficient 😊) I could use to describe Chapter 7, and indeed the entire story arc of Amaranthine, would be the flavor Germanchokolatekake from Coldstone Creamery. 😉 Have you had it? You must try of you haven't---it is an absolutely divine, delectable combination of Chocolate Ice Cream with Pecans, Coconut, Brownie and Caramel. When you savor it first, the sweet flavor enthralls you----and then there is layer after layer of flavor that bursts over your bewitched palate and tongue. The nutty flavors combined with the sweetness of caramel and brownie---- 🤪 Yup, my sweet tooth is obvious, no? 😆 But the point is, that is the high I got, when I savored all those delicious nuggets and layers and nuances in Amaranthine---and this holds true for your other writing too.

I would be hard pressed to really identify one particular stretch that appealed to me the most in the last chapter----because I enjoyed it throughout, this despite the fact that I knew this was to be the conclusion of this lovely tale, despite the fact that I was not really prepared to say goodbye to it---yet. But then, as we had discussed before in the GA series, the best time to end a fic, is when you feel the story arc has come to a logical close. we as readers always have re-reading to look forward to anyway. 😊

Top of mind listing of sequences which I adored---Sanskaar's thoughts the next day when he recollected his drunk love confession. True to his nature, he did not regret having told those words to Swara, he would never be ashamed of speaking the truth. That is Sanskaar for you---a man who does not believe in dissimulation and concealment. He regrets creating a scene of sorts perhaps----but not the disarming directness of his confession. 😳 Plus, his logical and deep analysis when he discovered Swara's book hidden away in his little cubby hole. A very Sanskaar-ish (Sanskaar-ian? 😊) train of rational analysis. This man, I tell you. All head and all heart, no? 😉 His brain versus heart dilemma is the stuff of legend---because both of those he possesses in such abundant measure. A formidable intellect, and a large, giving heart. 😳 And kudos to his creator here, for sketching him so wonderfully, bringing him to such splendid life. 👏 👏

The RagLak---Sanskaar conversation 👏 👏 and especially the Ragini---Sanskaar exchange of words. 👏👏 Nynu...want to give you one huge, giant hug for this. In case you are cuddling CM at the moment, I shall hug the little waif too. 😉 You know how compelling and fascinating I find Ragini's character----and an ally/ respectful rivals/ frenemy/ friends equation between Sanskaar and Ragini is something I always love to imagine and read about. Whether they are antagonists who have a hell of a lot of respect and wariness for each other; or they are friends with a certain edginess and snarkiness between them 😆---it is all pure gold as far as I am concerned. Sunny is of course, THE most compelling and layered persona in the show; but I must say that I have always felt Ragini comes a somewhat close second. Goes without saying that I loved Ragu here, and was quite fond of Lucky too. 😆 See! I am not ambivalent about Lucky in fics, like I am about the one in the serial. 😉

The Swara---Ram conversation, his paternal emotions coming to the fore and the way he said that every woman gets the love she chooses (I completely agree---and every man does too, come to that. 😊) That was so profound and accurate---fits right into our favorite discussions of choice versus predestination; free will versus destiny.

And whatever I say about Swara here would fall short. I adored her throughout this fic---the practical, sensible, no frills, no nonsense type, who does not initially believe in love. But who is convinced about the beauty of that ethereal emotion by the love of her life, and then goes through the entire gamut of tumultuous emotions from rapture and bliss to pain, anguish and yearning. Add sprinklings of despair, jealousy and doubt as well. 😭 A powerful portrayal, for a very deftly and intricately etched character---you did full justice to the character of Swara, much, much more than what has been done on the serial of late. 😕 And the very best part, perhaps, of Swara here was----while she has strong opinions, makes up her mind and chooses a path for her to follow; she is also cognizant of the fact that she could make mistakes. She knows she is not perfect, that everyone in this world is imperfectly perfect in their own way. Or is that perfectly imperfect? 😉 And she has the guts and the will to effect a course correction or amendment, however difficult or worrying that choice might be.

The SwaSan romantic scenes on the beach. ☺️ 🤪 😳 It was the stuff dreams and classy dramedies are made of. So achingly, spine tinglingly, poetically beautiful. I could read it again...and again...and again...(and of course those spellbinding scenes from chapter 6 too), and it still would appear as fresh and lovely as it did the first time. A perfect blend of romance and sensibility, of tenderness and passion. Lovely. 😳 Sigh...That bit where Swara proposed that deal----that she would help him remember again and he would help her believe again. That she would be there to hold on and recount all the precious memories of their moments together; while he should be there to hold on to their faith...that was such a sublimely thought out and supremely well articulated exchange. 😳 No wonder it resulted in the reaction it did. ☺️

And that entire sequence was so 'heart eyes' and blush worthy 😉 Those rather ardent exchanges about how Swara always wore Sanskaar's ring on the mouli, Sanskaar's rather...ahem...reaction to that statement; the fancies which he wanted to turn into reality right there and then. 😆 😉 Thank God for his self control----😆

All in all, I just loved it, Nynu. Can't tell you how much. I can just say this---that while I am feeling quite melancholic and nostalgic that the serial is (supposedly) ending---I am not feeling too devastated about it. Reason being, that I can always look forward to reading and re reading gems like this one. SwaSan will always be real and alive and present to me---whether they appear on TV or not. Always keep writing. 🤗

Loads of Love,

-----Viji

Hi Nyna,

What a picture perfect conclusion for the amazing fairytale you had weaved. I simply loved it.

The three quotes are going into my quote library. ;)

The book is back! Yay!! Isn't it wondrous that a possession related to a certain person can carry all your memories with them? Sanskaar had actually written his name next to Swara. Okay I fainted, woke up and reread from the start.

Haha, you need energy to strangle me. Again a wow moment for me, Ragini really knows Manipulation 101 and she is proud of it. Absolutely love this side when she is actually bringing SwaSan together.

That scene between RP and Swara was heartwarming. Reminds me of how vehemently he took Swara's side when Sanskaar asked her to leave MM.

Just one clarification, did that reunion happen on the beach? It was sweet, nice and soon went on to be romantic and hot. I was blushing reading it.

All in all, kudos to your for the fantastic tale. I have read the footnotes, more like glanced as I was not ready to leave the blissful picture of SwaSan and I am a person who has to imagine something visually physical when I am reading about it. That binds in my memory otherwise if just a brief glance no matter how many details I read. I will keep coming back to it now and then, especially when I hot the writers block, but for now, I would like to appreciate your pain staking hardwork in collating all the bibliographic material and presenting all this in a professional manner.

Keep writing.

Cheers

Sharon

Dear Nynu .. 🤗

I really must thank you for the chapter of your story .. it did save me ..
All today I have been upset , I woke up today with a headache and cough as it seem I cought up something with the change of the weather .. I really hate it when I am sick .. And not to forget the news of the show going off air .. it really put me off mood .. And your story turned it 180 degrees .. 😃

Dear Khushi,🤗🤗, Good to read that my chapter turned your mood for better. You should be taking care of your health. I hope it is nothing serious and just a seasonal bout of sickness.

Act 3 ..
The feeling it give me is pure bless .. The calmness of my feeling , I am Lying on my bed staring at the ceiling , thinking about nothing at all ..
This happend very rare to me ( i.e my mind stop this constant unstoppable thinking ) last time this happend was in last February after I read some amazing Novel .. I am completely speechless right now .. I can't find proper words .. your story desarve way better than I am writing now ..

I can now understand that feeling, that is what I felt when I read your comment 😳😳 happy and content. And do not worry about not finding proper words, what you have written is beautiful.

I loved everything in this chapter ..Swara/Sanskar feeling about each other ..Their confusion .. I must say I love all the realtion in this story .. The bond between the siblings and all the family ..All of them seem to love each other amd they worry about Swara and Sanskar ..What Swara's Dadi said to her did touched me .. And what RP said to Swara .. that really touched my heart ..Sanskar conversation with Ragini and Laksh ..Did put everything in place ..

I did tell you it would be a sweet story, I got tired with all the villainy in the show, every relation has been butchered. So here I wanted to write about SwaSan where everyone, all the family members and friends, even Tanu realised where Swara needed help, actually loved each other and would be for each other. So each, in their own little way, a word here, or simply not saying anything helped Swara and Sanskaar.
Dadi not loving Swara as much as Ragini was expected, after all it is a very grow up Swara who enters into their lives. But since she is basically a good person at heart, she had to melt when she heard what Swara had to say. Guess the fates did conspire for a joint wedding for a very long time, or did the girls unconsciously wish for it and took a chance to make it come true ? You can decide😉

And at last .. their meeting at the beach ( for me the beach is the most romantic place ever , of course it must be empty with no one ) Something clicked in my mind " His Love roared Louder Than Her Demons " I don't remember form where I got this ..

Sigh*** beach, yes I love them too, the sound of the waves, a constant one yet so calming, guess the expansiveness of the sea and the sky brings everything into perspective and you realise how small a creature you are in the order of the universe and how insignificant all your worries are. Enough of this philosophical words. So yes, beaches are the most romantic places, and yes I ensure it would be empty - I did mention it was a private beach so there would be no strangers /other couples sauntering around, and the family members were all busy in the wedding which would start in a few hours. And Ragini knew Swara is at the beach, she would ensure that everyone focused only on her.
That is one of my favorites too, I already replied to that in an earlier post on this thread.

The ending is best and my favourite part ..Their new deal .. I got tears in my eyes ..I am really happy for them ..

The ending, was the beginning of their life together, right? It was only befitting that they start with a deal, after all that is how every relationship of theirs, friendship, lovers and lovers again, started.

Nynu this story is just perfect .. and it better this way without Epilogue .. And you indeed answered the questions you asked at the beginning ..

I agree, there should be no epilogue, but I will put a short post - The curtain fall...I am following a Play theme here, (it is a three act play, The setup, the confrontation and the resolution😉), over the weekend?

But ..The question still remain .. Could this really happen in real life ?!

I have a counter argument, I did remember you saying that you have read about the dream argument, so now tell me, what is the real life???

Nynu ..
I really loved it so so much ..*hats off* and *bow down*You are Amazing .. 👏

Your words mean a lot to me😳😳😳especially considering that in the beginning I was not even sure if I should have posted the tale.

Love
Khushi

P.S
Sorry for the weird comment of mine .. I want to give it now as tomorrow I have an appointment with the doctor .. and my mom want me to decrease the time I spend on Internet .. as the drop of my health in the last 2 weeks ..

P.SS
I am really sorry that I didn't give any feedback for chapter 6 .. that time I was under pressure and I am very bad in coping with pressure .. sorry ..

As I already replied earlier, please never ever apologise, for delays in/ not commenting. Your health is important, just relax and read and enjoy. I love everything you write, the length does not matter. Take care.

Dear Khushi,

love,

so thank you very much for this story. waiting for ur next infact this morning I got pm by u for new story so thank you.
Take care
Bye

Dear Showrav,

I am in a happy state, a little sad that there would be no more to write for Amaranthine but happy to know you liked it. And yes, we could never have enough of SwaSan, but then you would get them, just in another story.

Sanskaar, conflicted between his heart and head, his heart knows her and his head is trying to make out the possibilities from the facts. And yes, as you said, Swara not helping him out. Which is why Ragini and Laksh had to step in, in a way that was a better, Sanskaar had an objective recounting of his story, Swara most probably would not be able to speak, it would be painful for her, would it not.

But once she realised where she was wrong, she did not hesitate, she refused to make that mistake, of letting him go. It was nice, right her realisation that her error lay in literally trying to fit the definition of love to those words, if only she had gone with her heart...But Sanskaar knew her very well indeed, he knew what exactly her fear was and where she would be hesitating.

That is why I hoped you were not too upset, in was only in the end that there was a proper SwaSan moment. But I am glad that you did like the overall story.

Hope to keep seeing you in the thread for Forgotten Memories (that is very very different from this and I would love to hear your take).

Best,

Nyna

Read the chapter late night yday. After effect...dreaming of swasan whole night. Nynu you know how much I love this story. Every line I read i, I try to interpret from two perspectives. Can never blame both of them. They had every reason to behave the way they did. But as very beautifully laid out by you...they were meant for each other...Loved sanskars dialogue...Atleast here we have a swara who admits she was wrong in not giving them a chance. And the line about every woman getting the type of love story she wants!!!!! Where do you pick such gems?
Nyna sad that it's over and no epilogue too. But I understand you that an epilogue sometimes destroys the wonderful imaginations a reader has. Here I am thinking of the umpteen ways sanskar made up for the lost days after a hurried wedding. But I would definitely like to read your take on that too. So hope you change your resolve and post an epilogue .
Will miss Waiting for the updates of amaranthine.
Love,veena.

Dear Veena,

I am glad it did not give you nightmares, dreaming about SwaSan that is truly...dreamy😉

And yes, neither is strictly at fault, one a victim of chance and the other misled by choice. Sanskaar forgetting Swara was an accident, and Swara choosing to go away, at that point that was the best she could do given the circumstances. And later on, when she gave up the battle, that is where she went wrong.

But she did realise, in time, that it was fear that the fates would never be kind to her that made her lose in love, every single time. Once she accepted where she was wrong, she did not waste a single second. And Sanskaar, he really know both himself and Swara quite well, there is no way he would ever fall in love with anybody else, as is the case with Swara, come what may they are meant to be.

And the line, "every woman.." is from a movie, I do not recall the name, but I have given the details and a link to a very interesting article on that theme in the FnR post.

Epilogue - the way I wrote this story (as a three act play) there will not be an epilogue (I did try, a slight humorous spin but could not fit it with the flow, maybe if the fancy still takes, I shall post it as a spin off or a standalone short tiny OS. For this, I will post a final write up - the Curtains come down..., over the weekend.

And I will miss updating Amaranthine, not too much,😊 I have already shifted my loyalty to FM. Hoping to see you there,

love,

Nyna

Thanks

Dear Bharadwaj,

Yes, they are finally together and as the great playwright, Shakespeare said, "All's well that ends well".

Sanskaar recovering his memories, well, it is better this way, Swara gently reliving all their moments, helping him remember and in the process learning to believe in love, him and them all over again. They write new stories and relive the old ones together. And you are free to imagine how they go about it.😉

Best,

Nyna

Thank God, you liked the last chapter, was a little worried about how it would turn out after Chapter 6😳😳

The three quotes are going into my quote library. ;)

The book is back! Yay!! Isn't it wondrous that a possession related to a certain person can carry all your memories with them? Sanskaar had actually written his name next to Swara. Okay I fainted, woke up and reread from the start.

The book would have a role to play, I decided its role in the very beginning - it was a fragment of his memory - a tangible reminder of the moments he spent with her. And yes, it is his name that he writes , remember, Swara sees him write and she thinks it is the date, which was a well known quirk of his. He was also adding his name for he was already in love with her. 😳😳

Haha, you need energy to strangle me. Again a wow moment for me, Ragini really knows Manipulation 101 and she is proud of it. Absolutely love this side when she is actually bringing SwaSan together.

I love Ragini (please overlook the blatant butchering of her in the show), she is next only to Sanskaar and it is sheer fun watching her manipulate people, especially when she does it for their good - she really played the perfect cupid.

That scene between RP and Swara was heartwarming. Reminds me of how vehemently he took Swara's side when Sanskaar asked her to leave MM.

That scene was inspired from Ram's vehement support of Swara during that incident, poor Sanskaar bore the brunt, as usual, of Swara's scatterbrained ideas.

Just one clarification, did that reunion happen on the beach? It was sweet, nice and soon went on to be romantic and hot. I was blushing reading it.

Yup very much on the beach - I did mention it was a private beach so there would be no strangers and I am sure Ragini would ensure that everybody focused on her so no one trying going out in search of Swara and Sanskaar. And glad you like it - these scenes are the toughest, for me , to pen. I usually get stuck there😳

All in all, kudos to your for the fantastic tale. I have read the footnotes, more like glanced as I was not ready to leave the blissful picture of SwaSan and I am a person who has to imagine something visually physical when I am reading about it. That binds in my memory otherwise if just a brief glance no matter how many details I read. I will keep coming back to it now and then, especially when I hot the writers block, but for now, I would like to appreciate your pain staking hardwork in collating all the bibliographic material and presenting all this in a professional manner.

The footnotes - when I write, I read. When I read, I collect and file them in a doc. I simply love reading about them so I simply collate it and put them up - nice to know you have actually read them, few do. So when someone like you comes along and tells that the footnotes were an appreciable job, it makes me very very happy.

Keep writing.

Hopefully, I will.

Cheers
Sharon

Okk then res'ing for ch-7 Nynu. 😛
Unresed. 😃
Nynu darling do u know how much I loved this story?? 😃 I'm sad that it ended soon, but as we say, one thing have to end at after a certain time so that new things can happen. 😳 So with the end of this journey, will wait for a new beginning, i.e., a new story from u. 😉 😳
Yes, all things, good or bad, must come to an end. And we reach the end of this tale. But as you also said, there is a new beginning, of a new story (I am already nervous😕😕)

Coming to the chapter, it was Mind blowing, Splendid, Superb, Awesome, Amazing and what not!! 👏 👏 U again made me speechless with ur writing dear. 😳 Loved they way how RagLak revealed the truth to Sanskar about himself, his memory loss, Swara and what impact fell on Swara with his ML and why they brought Swara back. 😃 Loved Sanskar's stand for Swara that how much heartbroken she must have been and how tough it was for her to work with him when he didn't remember her and their love. 😳 Loved Swara and RP scene too. It was really a touching one. 😳

It was indeed a chapter of revelations and realisations. I love a positive Ragini and Laksh, and both are quite adorable here, right? In a way, they have always been responsible for SwaSan - it was during their engagement that Swara confessed to Sanskaar, right? Sanskaar, that is what makes him what he is, irrespective of what happens, his first thoughts are always about Swara. RP and Swara - he was the best person to tell her that, was he not, after all he did know about Ragini's plan and he was the one who supported Laksh in the execution. As he said, he is a father, first.

But finally SwaSan reunited to start their relation with a new beginning and hope. 😃 Yes its correct that both went wrong after Sanskar's ML, but now they sorted out everything. 😃 Loved SwaSan deal about Swara helping Sanskar to remember the memories he lost and Sanskar helping her to have faith in him and their love. 😳 SwaSan moments in the beach were simply amazing and so dreamy! Their kiss was so hot! ☺️ Haha! Loved Swara's plan to get married to Sanskar along with RagLak in the same mandap, which Ragini always wanted. 😉 I really wished for Sanskar's memory to return, but its good that SwaSan will start from the beginning by making new memories together. 😃 I loved this chapter so much!!! ❤️

Yes, Sanskaar does not get his memories back, that is my personal preference, but with Swara by his side and their new deal, he might remember but they certainly would build new ones. Swara's plan to get married, even Sanskaar liked it, Ragini always wanted it and Laksh, here he would be so happy even he would not mind it.😊😊

So r we getting an epilogue too?? 😉 If yes, then I will be eagerly waiting. 😉 And if no, then also no problem coz we got a happy ending for SwaSan. 😳 Thanks for the pm. 😃

There is no epilogue, but I will post a small write up - The curtain comes down (well it is a three act play😉) over the week end.

With love,
Aheli.
