<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">I am finally back for Chapter 14, which was Swara and Sanskaar all the way.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Poor Ragini, she is quite intelligent though she allows her intense love for Laksh to transform to an immense hatred for Swara and pushes Swara into the whirlpool. But in a way, in turned out to be for the best.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Sanskaar - he had to save her and the life saving technique also become a expression of their growing fondness to each other. Sanskaar's worry that she might die and her fear that she would not live - it was an instantaneousrelief that ended in them kissing each other - in joy that she was alive. As you wrote, it was like parched earth that was finally blessed with the rain.😳😳</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">But even the next scene, where that passion is replaced by a quite care and concern for each other, when they clean the cuts on each other - that was lovely, both intent on seeing to the other, their eyes letting their emotions show.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">And then the brain takes over, maybe the oxygen supply should be kept limitedand later both are convinced that the other regrets the kiss.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Quite nicely penned. And do not worry - you got the balance of emotions right - a good mix of love, passion, concern (the physical and emotional states) and finally their admission that the kiss did change their equation. It set their friendship on fire (there is a quote - "love is nothing but friendship set on fire).</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Keep writing.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">love,</font>
