Thanks Ria..

Ragini must be about 18yrs old and Laksh some 21 or 22 as he just joined the workforce.

And me is back, finally.

Do you know what a relief it is to read your stories, even in absolute terms, but on relative terms it is a balm to soothing the mind and relive frayed nerves (why are stories written in that weird form where the first letter of every word is capitalised 😡- did someone change the grammar rules when we were not looking😕😕😕 or has Word come out with that option - but you have to give it to them, imagine capitalising the first letter of every word, of every sentence🤢🤢🤢

Okay, back to RagLak - I love them here (I never liked them in the serial but then I hated the easy way of making them the villains, but you do don't, most of your stories they are human with all the attendant human frailties).

The opening sentence - about Laksh hating mirrors, I like the symbolism, him hating the reflection the mirrors shows actually reflects on his thoughts. His house reflects what he wants to avoid. And his heart admits that his illusions reflect the reality he is running away from.

And it is reflected in Ragini's thoughts - as she remembers him. Strange, in the moments of great happiness or sorrow, we miss the person we need / love the most.

And then the reflection of what they lost - her last words to him changed him to precisely what he did not want to be and his words made her realise that what could have been her strength had been treated by her as her weakness.

I just love the subtle reflection of the paragraphs, mirrors to his house to his thoughts to a chance news clipping to her thoughts back to him and ending with her - in the end all that life did was to hold a mirror to them throwing back memories at them, reminding them of what they lost.

@Nynaeve I'm on cloud nineteen, not nine, after reading your comment. Let the sleep angel bring me back to present, then I can reply you, and also, tie up the last part together for despatch.

Nyna 🤗

Your comment made me in back and read the chapter once again to confirm this is what I have written.

You were bang on with the symbolism. I really wanted to start a work with a memorable first line. When this ended up on my phone screen when I started writing mirage, I fell in love with that line. I thought i finally achieved that first line (ignoring the irony that it happened with a RagLak story instead of SwaSan).

Your comment reinforces that not only did it happen, but I also justified the symbolism of that line.

not fair, not fair at all😭😭😭

I want a clear cut declaration of love - floating hearts, flying balloons and sparkling stars - not a sly - "It might be true."




Will be back after I finish sulking...

Kudos for yet another successful story in your basket!👏⭐️

Hi Vibha,

The story is not yet done. After Nyna's comment I went back and wrote the climax scene. Do check it out in the same post.
