I didn't want to over-explain in the chapter... kept the connection mystical... but I wasn't sure if the message was conveyed... so, I'm posting here.. what I replied elsewhere... 😳Mystery behind the 4 damsWhy Akbar knew Harka was the SahibaIt 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
Yup di its got clear from heeras attitude, manners,grace that she is the sahiba not bindiya who easily looses her temperHeeras tackling the situation and manner in which she behaved with akbar at canal only shows she is not a commaner at all😉The reason behind his ironical toneThe irony in his statement was a bit of a triple meaning -The lady who called herself a Sahiba was acting like anything but a SahibaHe 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!
Ya akbar do have ego and that's most funny point bindiya acted anything but not sahiba 😆How did she know 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! 😉Ya its comman sense if heera recognized akbar through his voice akbar too will recognize her naAnd ya she ofcourse get to knew that he knew as he clearly said the purse must belongs to their sahiba even though bindiya was present there who was acting as sahiba that was really a hilarious scene😆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!Why he returned the coins at all...I know we would like to wishfully think that he returned the 4 dams after the effect of the 'hazel eyes'But I think it's something else... I think it's his nature... just like he would take what was his, he would not touch what wasn't his!And he is not convinced their young 'Sahiba' is the person who should be 'paying' for him being short-changed at the auction or for the fact that he was called names... he must have guessed that after his two semi-interactions with her...So he returned the coins back to its rightful owner!He took an effort to return coins because that concerned him... and as to why he wasn't interested in listening to stories, hearing her out or any of the other stuff... because all that doesn't concern him... at least, not as of now...About returning the coins me think he do got a little attracted by hazel eyes and ya he has this manners that never to take what do not belong to usAnd i really liked this attitude of his natureBake i llike everything about akbar😳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)!
