Sorry that I'm commenting late once again, but glad I've managed to reserve the first place myself! I was kind of busy last night when I received your PM. Thank you.
Now on to the update. NANDINI! NANDINI! NANDINI!
Firstly, I was shocked to see your update a little sooner than expected and amazed how flawless your update was. I can honestly say with a hand on my heart that the way you expressed Riddhima's little agony with being the guinea pig of tests, which truly amazing, how she kept smiling inspire allthe pain with the tests on her! I could picture it all!
At times in the update I felt a little sorry for the kuddos Buddha - maybe it's not his fault that he has to use sort of measures to find the route of his illness. Me not being a medical student, the medical background went over my head!
Your update was quite an emotional one this time, eryone experiencing a different kind of emotion beit Armaan, Riddhima, the hostages or the old man! You left no stone unturned, and that's the special thing about your update. You never leave it incomplete.
Need I say anything about Armaan? But I know you would really want to read my views on him- and wasting no time; here goes... I honestly as the reader cannot diiferentiate him from DMG. with the circumstances he is in, he's so helpless to do anything to save Riddhima. That really shows how powerful the character of the old man holds within your update. He can neither take in the fact that his love, Riddhima has to go through so much torture and neither can he stop the old man from taking any further action! Bravo girl!
Your updates are always well thought through and that's exactly what I like about it, they are always healthy enough for me to take in and everything always falls into it's place as if actually watching it on telly!
I don't think I have any words to express what your updates mean to me.. I'm completely in love with this fanfic, like I always say! I don't think any words can explain how brilliantly you've written it. Even if I start- I believe it will hold a less of a value! So I hope you can nderstand what I'm trying to say. If you can read between the lines? All I'm saying is I love it!
One more thing before I leave, like I previously said in my comment- your hodge was like a rollercoaster, it had some sort of an adrenaline rush to it, whereas this time round all though it had the same effect but for me especially it was like as if the rollercoaster was comin to a hault. And it sure did, I believe it's an interval before it whizzes off again. Since you've left another cliffhanger of the SWAT team standing outside all amoured, I'm not sure what to expect! Is there going to be gunshots in the next update?
I'm not sure whether you're going to leave Armaan and Riddhima out of this, but I have enough trust in you to wait till the next update to know what will happen!
Brilliantly written!
Loved it!
Love ya
Sana
Sanaaaa...!! 🤗
You were saying you don't know how to explain what my updates mean to you...well, count me in the same position, as I find myself completely at a loss for words after reading your reply...
I had a day off today, and decided to update...and I'm soo happy you found it relatively non-messy, as it was quite likely to be since I had a decent amount to fit into this part without making some hotch potch...lol...you noticed Riddhima's smiling through her pain...I haven't given it much expression here, and was beginning to wonder if people might think it's really not that bad after all...because it is...the one place where that comes out most clearly, of you noticed, which I'm now sure you did, is when they're al walking towards the Radiology lab...that description outlines to the outsider just what Riddhima is looking like right now, and what it means is happening to her on the inside...
And you'll probably think I'm mad, but thank youuuu for your reaction to the Old Man...because that is the exact reaction I was hoping to evoke...he is doing something wrong, yes, but he's been driven to it by a most miserable, painful existence...and yet, the gunshot gives him jitters just as it does to the hostages...he staggers after he fires...because maybe he never wanted to...he just flew into a rage and...he's just very, very disturbed...and sad...and tired...and I wanted to convey a very vague sense of that instead of a full-blown sympathy drive because what he's doing is not great at the end of the day...and I''m soo happy I managed to reach you with it...!! 😊
Emotions...yes, I wanted to put in some depth in this part, despite all the things happening in quick succession...I was actually afraid I might lose the emotions to the plot, which is probably why I laid some extra emphasis on it...hope it turned out well, and paid off...thank you so much for noting and pointing it out...
Armaan...oh my...you have no idea how much it means to me, just to hear you say that you cannot differentiate him from DMG...because the situation he's in is one we haven't really seen him deal with on the show...so I had no base to derive his reactions from...I had to use my own imagination to think up how he would feel, how he would respond, physically as well as mentally, to such a state of absolute helplessness and excruciating pain...having not only to watch Riddhima fall, but actually administer the drug that made her...it tears him apart, and yet he can do nothing to change things...it is really such a huge compliment for me to know that I managed to keep him true to character...thank you so so SO much for saying that...!! 😃
And you got the roller coaster effect spot on again...I won't divulge anything, but say just this...you know those roller coaster that take a ride through a shallow water body? They take an upward climb quick, and then they slow down...they take a gradual turn, and are then poised to take a whizzing downward plunge into the water...that's when the adrenaline rush, having already begun with the upward climb, reaches its peak...
As for gunshots...won't say anything there...will keep the suspense alive...but keep that last bit in mind...I will not do to this fic what the creatives did with the show...trust me...
Thank you soooo much for such a wonderful reply, Sana...you have no idea how much it means to me, reading something like that...really, thank you soo much...🤗
Loads of love and take care,
Nandini 😊
