Bewitched

Bewitched - Chapter Forty Three

Author's note

Hey guys, hope you all are doing good. As informed prior, I'm sorry for not updating all these days. I'm feeling better than before. Thought I'll not keep you all waiting. So, here I'm with the next chapter.

Also, I'm thinking whether I should continue writing new book or quit.

It has nothing to do with Ashaangi. Still an Ashaangian. Thank you so much to all those who have supported my book so far. It means a lot. I have another plot ready and I have figured out storyline and all that. But I don't think I would be able to write. 

Writing a book means huge commitment. I held back myself from writing Bewitched after Entwined because a part of me was scared that I might not write anything as good as Entwined. It took me a lot of self affirmation, inner turmoil, sleepless nights and speaking with Ashaangi friends to start this book. 

Whenever I go to my profile page, I see the stark difference in reader engagement between Entwined and Bewitched and it instantly puts me down. It was my nightmare coming true.

After being so worn-out in life recently, I turned to writing and seeing this difference made me felt I have lost my touch with writing and I'm not as good as before. I started questioning myself. This got me more depressed and that's why I stopped writing all these days.

I'm doing better now but I don't know if I could handle feeling that way again. I already feel I'm not good enough in life and if this tops on me, I don't think I will be able to take it well. This is what I feel right now. It may or may not change in the future.

For now, thank you to all those who have read and supported "Bewitched". You have no idea how much it means to me. Let's get into the chapter.

Ashaangi SS Bewitched

Chapter Forty Three

(Note: Please read the author's note)

Hot and bothered, Sivaangi flushed and closed the book she was reading. Heaving a deep sigh, she shook her head and put the book. With a groan, she took a pillow in her arms and buried her face in it.

Rubbing her face on the pillow, Sivaangi sighed, "God! I miss you so much, Ashwin!"

Sivaangi was home early that day. Only Kaleeshwaran and Vinayak was at home and they had an early dinner before she went to her room. She knew Ashwin was yet to reach home and she didn't have much to do. That's when she decided to continue read the book.

But what Sivaangi didn't expect was for the book to turn spicy the next chapter. Earlier she used to read such chapters even with a straight face. But now, whenever she read such chapters, she can't help but picture her and Ashwin together and that was enough for her to get burn up.

How amazing it would be to just hide herself in his arms, with her head pressed against his chest while arms wrapped around him. He can warm her up with his presence. To hug, cuddle and to loss herself in his lips. Sivaangi sighed.

'Cha, avlo ah kaanju poe irukom!'

(Cha, am I that desperate!)

Sivaangi's mobile buzzed with text notification. Her lips curled into a smile on seeing Ashwin's text. She texted him, asking when he would call. He instantly replied that he will call her in an hour.

Sivaangi's mobile blared with a call from Abin. With a smile, she picked his call and greeted him. She squealed in excitement when he informed her that the reel with her and Ashwin will be posted tomorrow and the music label of that said songs will post in their official Instagram handle as well.
