Slow burn romance can be defined as romance that develops slowly over a certain period of time. During that time, the readers get to explore the individual characters and experience their interactions, confusions, tensions, and anticipation.

The individuals could start of as friends or strangers, or even enemies; but on paper they would be so different that it would be difficult to imagine them together. So, the entire "will they/won't they" phase will keep the readers on their toes. 😊

My favorite example will be Ms Bennet and Mr Darcy but there are many such stories and couples, in books and on screen 😊

Got it! I like that kind of story. Currently reading one and love P&P. Ammu & Virat fit in but need a better story. I'll see what I can do.

Deer-caught-in-headlights romance 😃

[You may try to read this in Richard Attenborough's voice.]

As the sun set behind the mountains making way for twilight, Amruta had a choice to make. With her father ditching her family for a younger deer, she had to take her mother and sibling to safety.

Nights... can be dangerous times for an abandoned deer family in the Gir forests. Lions, hyenas, and a few other predators who would love to have them for dinner. But with her mother taking ill, she knew they had to stay around.

"I'll keep watch sis" her brother said, "take care of mom. She's been through a lot."

Amruta was in no mood to listen to her brother - but chose to this time... It was good to see her brother growing up.

Separation from her husband had taken a toll on her mother and it was likely that she wont survive if Amruta didn't do something. She knew of a place some 500 mts away where the grass is green... green and yellow ... lemon grass... the one that her mom loved the most. It also was the medicine for the discomfort she was going through.

"You keep watch" Amruta said to Harsh, "I'll get some lemon grass".

"But Tai... now?"

"Dont worry, I'll be fine" she said, "just be with mom" and sprinted away towards the mountain.

She saw a cloud of dust moving across in front of her. Startled, she stopped. 'Cant be lions' she thought...

Cautious, she moved ahead. "Lions, hyenas...whatever it be.. I'll get my lemon grass. Only mom is important now." she said to herself and sprinted ahead.

And then she stopped... as right in front of her two shiny eyes stared at her... mesmerising her... she looked into those bright eyes... 'Is this the thing that my Aaji talked about'? "Love"? She wanted to approach it... but was scared. 'what is it?' she couldn't figure out... and yet... she couldn't stop herself from staring at those bright eyes...

Babita pressed the horn of the jeep, cause she didn't like Virat not doing anything other than staring at the deer. "Deers like these dont have any right to be on the road. Why did you even stop?" she asked, "If I was driving, mein isse kuchalke kab ki chali jaati".

Virat looked at the Amruta, running towards the grass field... what looked like lemon grass. He felt bad he disturbed the deer, that his mom startled it. and made it a point to come back tomorrow.

@Pyaarasam - Pls forgive & excuse me. Romantic novels & narrations is something I've tried reading but not for me. Based on my interactions with you. Your observations & writing talents clear. Again - Pls excuse me from this genre 🫣

Based on the Promo. The Dear. Currently seems like Amu has already been lured & comfortable in captivity ( Ahuja house). The actual episode will reveal whether Amu the dear after been kissed by headlights needs to be shown mercy or vet Aunt Vandy can bring health back. We all hoping dear Amu will transform into strong confident women after her curse is broken... no it cant be broken by a kiss from prince but an independent strong mind

Aw, that's fine. I guess I got it from my zodiac sign. I'm ruled by Venus, so I think it's in me, lol. I feel you and why I said I could tone my story down. I only write 18+ by demand otherwise I don't cross the bold, too bold line.

I'm more of an action and crime freak, but I wrote only romance, for now. And please don't excuse yourself

I actually read it in his voice 😃 This is so interesting. Cross species romance 😃

That sounds weird. ... Lets stick with deer and headlight. [Included Babs and Virat cause her dialogue matched.]

Hmm... does look like Ishika will actually help Ammu. Saw a bts pic on X... source IG of sritijhafanturkey

Not surprising if its long term though... have heard pregnancy can change people. But strange ... we were expecting a change of heart in Jayesh, but seems like it will be Ishika. If genuine, I'll give it to the writers - a surprise from them... (last one was Nimmi marrying Rajeev, though that one felt more pleasant).

..My fav part was def "Ishruta: Pyaar ka pehla dastaan", if I may give it a title Aaj laga ABC wapass aagayi for a moment. I've missed her. And she was absolutely right. Haad hai yaar, galti kare mard, aur saza, sawaal, and blablabla aurton se karte hai Not saying that Ishika was not wrong though. And yes, she didn't forgive her but agar ek aurat dusri aurat ke saat nahin degi toh khon degi??? We are not each other enemies! And Jayesh, Bhawani ho ya Ishika, that man doesn't deserve a woman in his life.

I liked that part too. Only negative is when the overgeneralise things and make it men v/s women - idk... may be true... but to me it sounds like oversimplification and turns me off. Keep it Jayesh v/s Ishika. He is ashamed... face it! He wasn't ashamed doing actually bad things and now that it is a good thing that happened, a new beginning... why the shame? In that sense even his shame didnt look natural / looked forced. Say, he didnt have any problem when she walked with him hand in hand to see him off to work, before their 'wedding'... to ab kyu? They are married now... not like its happening out of wedlock too. Not that people are expecting them to pass all their time playing ludo. Yup. Glimpse of ABC there.

With them perhaps going for a change of heart in Ishika and arguably doubling down on Jayesh, reminded me about the 'morality' thing you talked about a few days back. So Jayesh is 'deplorable' but somehow Virat isn't? In fact he is someone to feel for? "His decision was right, but tareeka galat tha"? Think I never asked this before - it was Virat who was divorced. What if it was Ammu? Would Virat be the same with her from the beginning, even if he was divorced? He had a tough time hearing about her non-existent 'boyfriend'.
