This was different...one needs to be very creative and yet bold to be able to come forward with OSes like this...This is quite forward...you'd have to be incredibly broad-minded or at least possess the maturity of 20+ to take in the undercurrent of this OS..
It tugs at your heart strings...really does...there's not been a single day when I haven't gone on to imagine a lovely romantic setting with Ja-Jo and then ended my bliss on a low note when I recollected all the unloved Begums in his harem! Begums who possibly had glimpses of their husband for 1 hour in 2-3 years!!!! Ruqs still had a lot going for her...
Weaving romantic stories in a polygamous settings is quite challenging for writers of the 21st century...I like how you tend to think out of the box! Kudos girl...
My take on your write up -correct me if I'm wrong, the man Hoshiyaar misses not being able to be in touch with his woman Hoshiyaar all the time (or wholly) and he's trapped in a man's body, right? So he makes love with Ruqaiyya to fulfil that void, while she clearly only relates to the Man Hoshiyaar and fulfils the emptiness in her life with him!
A small tit-bit...from what I've read (and not to dampen your story or spirit in anyway - knowing that you're a girl who would take criticism - also, this needn't take anything away from the ESSENCE of your story)
Precisely for this reason, eunuchs were castrated before they could become guards of the harem...If not, what guarantee for the king who used to leave behind his harem for months on end with men (who were more in touch with their feminine side) but still men by outer appearance! 😊
ETA (remember this term😛)
Since you seem to be a fellow-Ruq sympathiser like me and like thinking out of the box ...wonder if you'd like reading a 21st century spoof I'd written on Ruqs, Jalal and MA...😛
