Dear Viji,🤗🤗🤗
And fireworks of joy in heart and soul
And I loved it, though when you think of it, what is there not to love - a beautiful warm OS - full of love and positivism. And the misunderstanding was also because Swara and Sanskaar loved each other so much but were not sure of the other. I will get back for a detailed comment on the story later, I want to say quite a bit now.
I loved it - it being one of the best gifts I could ever get - you are a writer who writes with 'meraki' and when you share it with us, you share a tiny sliver of your soul. This story, that you have written for me - it is a gift of a tiny piece of your self - it is a very generous and courageous act on your part and one I will cherish forever.
I know that 'thank you' is not accepted and I will not say it - not because you would not like it but because it is woefully inadequate.
There are some days which are meant for receiving and today I will receive your wishes with joy and happiness, sure that my day and year ahead will be full of good cheer. There could be days when I would feel low and all I need is to remind myself that I have the wishes of such beautiful and lovely people and my day would be bright again.
I want to 'say' more but am afraid that I could start 'tearing' on this post, so will stop here, hoping that you understand.
lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Nyna
Now for my detailed comment:
Dear Viji,
I have been trying to write a coherent comment for this beautiful mini 2S but then I seem to be too emotionally wound up - I so loved it, the story is smooth and delicious, much like a large bar of silky dark chocolate with a hint of orange and a few slivers of almond - heavenly. And to top it off, written for me. Enough to send me to delirium and to cherish for a very very long time.
And now to the story - a warm one full of spirits (a sad pun but could not help myself). Though considering everything that Laksh had, he seems to be pretty coherent, he cannot recount everything he had but can think quite clearly as to what his emotions are. And yes, the moment he said he kissed her, I knew - yayyy - he is done for Ragini. Somehow, the Maheshwari boys seem to excel in drunken confessions.😉 He pretty quickly got the idea that Swara was cold to him and approached Ragini (I so love this positive Ragini - slapping Laksh for daring to tell that he was falling for her, when he was actually going to be affianced to her cousin. But then love did blossom, thankfully, as Swara noted and hoped)
I also loved the bromance here - Laksh finally confessing to everything, ashamed to be disappointing his role model yet summoning the courage to put all the facts in front of him. Sanskaar was, well, Sanskaar - his anger at Laksh's inanities was partly triggered by concern for Swara. Which translated to a hope and joy (that again left him feeling guilty) that Laksh would not be marrying Swara. And Laksh's condition that he himself would tell the families after practicing ("could you pitch your voice a bit higher, thankfully he did not want an impersonation of his Chachi - though that would have been the easiest - Jijiii... and there you have Sujju) was rollicking good, though the job of breaking the news to Swara was left to Sanskaar. He did not mind, after all it did give him a chance, to spend time with her and clear the air (though considering what happened, they sure did not end up clear headed).
Poor Sunny boy, hopelessly in love with Swara, his 'bestest' friend and does not want to confess because, firstly he is not sure of what she feels and he does not want to lose a friend. Secondly, he is hesitant for he fears that if she reciprocates his feelings he thinks he cannot do much to keep her in the luxury she is accustomed. (Swara is right, he is indeed an idiot and a nincompoop - he professes to be her best friend and yet can think that Swara would care about material trappings - but then, seeing his family's reaction to his choice of profession, he cannot be completely blamed either).
But even with his confusion regarding whether he should confess to Swara or not, or regret that circumstances and family had not given him a chance in the first place, what is undeniable is the unfathomable love that he has for her, a deep potent adoration that seeps into his very being. And in a way, it is this very love that stopped him from confessing to her. And also blinded him to the possibility that Swara could also consider him more than a friend. I am sure that there were more hints, the scene in the car was a dead giveaway, but Sanskaar was too lost in the agony of his "lost" love to actually pay attention.
Finally, Swara had to take matters into her hands, literally, I am sure that if Sanskaar had not leaned in and kissed her, she would have. As is it, he did read her a little wrong but he more than made up for that lapse. And then there was no need for conversation, there was so much lost time to make up and now that both know their feelings for each other, neither words nor the fireworks were needed.
loads of love,
Nyna
PS: I think I am going to love that place too.
