'He'd said that it must belong to our 'Sahiba'... now, I might be wrong...' shrugged kaka, as he put his account sheets and records away 'But, I thought I heard a hint of irony in his remark!'Firstly, why is the remark ironical? I think that's because the Sahiba in the remark is the real one and not the duplicate. Also because the real Sahiba had sarcastically condemned his taking advantage of them.Just asking if what I said is right or it has some other meaning here?
'Which also means... he knows, Bindiya is not the Sahiba... quite obvious from his remark!'Secondly, how is it obvious that he knows that Bindiya is not the Sahiba from his remark? If what I said above is right then this question is answered as well.
Yes Shagun... you've answered your question... I wanted to leave it a bit 'mystical' between two strangers and not overexplain ... so didn't go into why more than 2 lines... but, I'll do it here..
Why Akbar knew Harka was the Sahiba
It was obvious from the very first sighting that Bindiya couldn't be the Sahiba... he observed her less-literate dialect and gruff manners.. vs the polished urdu and genteel manners of the other lady, who smoothed-over the entire situation. And as a well-travelled man, he must know of this practice of interchanging-identities while travelling! Plus, the way she smooth-talked the situation would ring bells.. because he must have instantly related it to what his guy must have said about the kind 'Sahiba' from the auction fair!
Then, he saw her at the canal, he was sure... she looked too 'ethereal' to be anything but the leader of that group... plus, her wit.. her grace... how she handled a situation she wasn't at an advantage of etc etc
Why he was ironical
The irony in his statement was a bit of a triple meaning -
The lady who called herself a Sahiba was acting like anything but a Sahiba
He is also mocking their group for thinking they could outwit 'HIM' with this sort of charade (yes, that's his ego talking)
Plus, the irony was a hidden message.. a puzzle to the 'real' sahiba.. because if they relayed the news to her... somewhere, he had an inkling of how smart she was... and knew she'd get the gist even if no one else got it!
Why she knew he knew...
Because she knows one thing for sure - he wanted to give the coins back to its rightful owner (no other explanation for purse)...
And he knows the voice of the rightful owner... just like she recognised him at canal, he must have recognised her voice at the canal, and realised she is the one who gave him the coins..
If that is so, he must know Bindiya who is standing in that reception room is NOT that sahiba.. so if he STILL said 'Must belong to their SAHIBA...' its obvious what he's hinting at! 😉
Of course, he could have just been straightforward and handed it over to her through her guards... but then, that wouldn't be fun, would it? He would have to swallow his ego to do that.. and, while he has nothing against Harka, he is miffed by their group's attitude!
If the entire gist got lost and Harka didn't get the coins back as he intended it to be, it would just show him she is not as witty as he assumed she was... and anyway, he didn't care much either way... he did what he had to do, in his way!
Let's put it all of this as a silent uncanny connection between two very sharp-witted individuals embroiled in a mind game - (without even having a proper meeting/intro)!
