Chapter 8 - was surprisingly mild but then it hints at the storm clouds in the horizon.
Dadi and her plotting, which is a way is good for it appears to slowly clear a path for Laksh and Ragini and for a change there are no initial sparks - of love / like / lust, rather it is irritation. I like this better than they falling in love at first sight - sometimes it makes for a better journey, and since you indicated that they both would be good siblings / friends, it should make it a fun journey as they find themselves and help Swara and Sanskaar.No comments on Kavita - clever of her to twist her father into proposing an alliance, but I agree with her mother's silent wish and practical assessment - both she and her father need an urgent and strong reality check. Guess the next update would be about Sahil's plans.So the fires of hell are brimming, but then the taste and glimpse of heaven which the lovers have discovered should help them through.Waiting for the next update.love,Nyna
