Sneha 🤗

Let me start off with the Shel Silverstein quote. It was beautiful.

thank you 😊

2 parts? Your Tagathon OS took 11 pages. I dread to think of the number of pages this one was. Hats off to your talent and effort!👏.

LOL that's the funny part this was 7 odd pages, but IF has reduced word count per post poor me just discovered with this chapter will have to be more careful in future with my posts esp SS and OS matter 😳

That was such a copied yet sweet gesture from Raman😆. It is lovely to see him take an initiative.

I don't think you'll like what I have to say next. The Raman I understand would have started with some light banter before getting to the point because he would want to see her smile. It is his way of introducing a topic.Then he would have gone straight to the issue. He is a man of few words who manages to convey his point briefly yet effectively. And I don't entirely understand heart breaks. I had a crush on someone long time back. It was one sided. So, I understand that pain of not being liked back but not anything after that. Their entire conversation kind of went right over my head. I was kind of disappointed with the chapter because the way I see Raman did not match with your perception. At least in this edition. Not because you stopped at a crucial juncture. I think the way you ended it was perfect. They do have their entire life ahead to open up and know each other. I am so sorry if I sounded rude or anything.

No need for apologies Sneha everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that shouldnt mean that you take it as an offence or insult on your part, yes Raman is a man of few words and while he may joke about matters and try his wit... but the reason I had him behave the way I did in this SS, esp this last chapter was because he knew he wasnt dealing with a frivolous subject here.. plus underneath this suave smart Raman still is the old Raman and he, well from what we have seen of him was not much of a looker neither was he as impressive as he is today - so I visualized him as a shy boy bright in studies but really ignorant on matters of relationships - hence that had to come off - he still doesnt know how to deal with these things.

Thankfully I havent had a heartbreak as well, the only romance I had so far was ages back and well, me and the guy we both had a crush on each other, but I want ready for a relationship back then, later on we went our diff ways and never met. But I have played agony aunt enough times and thats not a pretty place to be in and this was the result of some of those conversations... which I heard... like a LOT

Aani I am seroiusly thinking of keeping a bank of your stories on yhm along with its episodes...totally love how you intricately depict the situations happened in the show with the feelings of the characters...how he felt that spunk in her. during that engagement ...

☺️ Aparna thats such a sweet thing to say thank you and I totally saw a different side to Ishita in that brief scene, once she allows herself she can be spunky and more than a match for her hubby 😆


Ishita was very much herself ...loved the way u potrayed her...loved the words Raman used to make her understand his motive...

thank you for saying this it means a lot to me 😳

I am very content with this end...its very much real then...everything cannot be told over a cup of coffee

yep not all issues and esp ones like these can be discussed over coffee in a public place, it needs privacy, solitude and willingness on both the parties ends - to hear and speak... not to mention the fact Raman just threw a loop out of nowhere here, and as I wrote - just because he wants to know doesnt make her ready to speak 😳 mentally and emotionally she has to prepare herself to speak of issues like these too

Feel awesome reading such stuff...makes me watch the episodes again n again...

Yaay...it my 500th post!!!
congrats on your 500 posts buddy hope you cross the next level soon and be a goldie 😃

You completely justified your SS. I found the End PERFECT. That was the End of first phase and start of another so that story should stop there only .

Loved the way you let Raman to see Ishita's hidden Pain.

Loved the way Ishita didn't put her armors down so easily BUT once she realized he can see through she put the armors down.

Loved the way she took time to open up that was so natural ... frankly speaking these talks can't take place in coffee shop , We can open up our-self when we are near the nature Like a river bank, a Sea shore, a terrace, under a tree basically when we can see different creatures , different shade of colors, endless sky, countless leaves, cool and calm breeze they all help us, they all give us strength , they gave us Hope that still a lot of beautiful things are there for us just we need to accept them .

Thanks for PM.

PM me when you start any other story , I would love to read your writings.

hey Aani, na yaar not at all disappointed...

u wrote it so well...

thanks a lot Meet for saying this 😊

loved their conversation as frnds... how he felt her pain and just wanted to tell her he is always wid her... their pains r similar, they can feel it, and only these 2 can help each other to heal...

and u wrote it so beautifully that how being frnds can be the first step...

the person wid whom u can share ur pain without any second thought...

loved it to core...

I think the best way for a marriage to strengthen itself is by friendship - to treat each other as equals, co-conspirators, sounding boards and sometimes the shoulder you need to cry on

and will deffo wait for its sequel, as me too badly want to know Ishita's side story in show too...

once again Aani thank u so much for such a wonderful SS...

loved its all parts...

thanks Meet I hope the CVs take note and give Ishu her importance soon too 😳

@bold :- loved ur ending... he let her know, he is always there for her as a frnd...

sometimes u don't need anything but a true frnd to listen to u...

loved above lines..

yep... sometimes you dont want pity or support or anything else you know - you just want someone who hears you, thats all, it doesnt matter if they agree disagree at all, the vital thing is someone heard you. 😳.

You gave a very logical and beautiful ending to the story. All the parts are amazing but the last one is very emotional. Actually this part reminded me a scene from Jab We Met when Shahid asks Kareena to call up her ex and blast😆 But you made Raman handle the matter very sensibly and made a point to Ishita that he will be with her😳. There is definitely lot of thinking to be done in this. I too wonder like Ishu is it necessary to hate some body who was in our past and forgotten. I understand sometimes it let us out the frustration but still in thinking mode😛

Another gem of SS from you Ani. I hope you dont mind me calling by your name😳

Aani,

The last part was perfect and you ended it at a perfect place.

Hey Sai thank you so much for this comment 😊

What makes you story so relatable is this is what we want to see in the show. This in-depth look of their past. like you said we don't know much of Subu and if you just assume stuff about him it will take away from the realistic nature of the story.

exactly, for all we have known so far they had a very loving relationship and if Subu is anything like Bala is he has to be a very kind, good man which would make it hard to hate him (for us 😆) and also explain why Ishu loved him... what he lacked though was the courage to stand by his love, Shagun' greed became her prime objective when she broke off her marriage but Subu.. for all we know was pressurized by his mom and still loves Ishu and knowing the woman its very much a possibility so its better to play safe for now 😳

this was perfect. You could make the reader relate to the story by your words. Love this line.

"Ishita... Sometimes in life, things are said and done which never should happen, things where the only intention behind doing them is to hurt someone. That is wrong, sometimes you realize you made a mistake almost immediately and sometimes you do with time. The point is some things can never be forgotten or forgiven. Even if the other person forgives you, sometimes you may not forgive yourself or perhaps you cannot forgive the person who wronged you. Forgiving is not easy nor is it always possible even if saying you should forgive or must is easy."

thank you once again 😳

Hey Aani ... sorry could not read and reply before ... was away from IF for a few days :)

Hey Parul no issues and thanks for the comment 😊

Absolutely loved the last couple of parts . It was incredible how Raman tried to essay his feelings to Ishita about opening up to her past and accepting her feelings that her past is locked up but not forgiven yet. Even with Raman, all those near him can see his anger towards his past but I doubt the pain is so easily visible. Truly a conversation between two hurt souls who try to hide it the best they can 👏.

yep they have their own ways of dealing with things - like you said he has his anger and she has her silence, but no one can understand the pain... but they will understand that once its allowed to happen and the best part would be it wouldnt seem condescending in the least it would be a very real thing - this understanding they would have

You know how I would love to see Subbu back but it appears the writers have different ideas. Why do I get the feel that they will show Ishita as a true Superwoman who is invincible *sigh*.

Oh I think they will milk this cow when they are ready Parul just wait and watch, perhaps they have a target planned to make this happen and they are waiting to get there, dont worry she would be a superwoman alright but not without some battles 😉

Loved your ending to this SS ⭐️

thanks once again 🤗

Just read the whole story and I was totally floored. Glad you focused on Ishita's pain, something that hasn't been brought to light till now. She always tries to divert her mind with work whenever she is hurt, she bottles up her emotions and never lets it affect anyone around her. Just waiting for the day when she finally lets the emotions out of her.
