@harshu27

lash 🤗 I simply loved this chap d reason was we had got an actual convo rather a normal convo btw heera and khan sahib after d canal kaand... 😉😆

Actual convo instead of normal convo .. ye kyaa hai... 😉😆

awww kidding.. I understand... and I got the blackforest too... thanks a lot darling

and I really njoyed dis convo I somehow recalled amer track d nok jhoks btw akdha... 😆 😉 btw d pic was really interesting...d armor attire always has attracted me and dis pic too was apt for d chap... ⭐️
Oh yes... I love armour-warrior stories... stories of warriors falling in love and all... I think its become obvious now. 😉

wow that was bang on so finally Khalil got to taste a bitter dose from d prince on what he had done with durga... ⭐️ really bad timing for Khalil but he truly deserves this I more than this...but than his karma will defo teach him a lesson in its own style so we can wait for that D-Day... 😛 😉

YESSS!

d best part of this chap was of course their convo but more than that I simply loved d way u have done d detailing of every thing... ⭐️ khan sahib's contrast life to heera was clearly understood from d ambience which he lived...and heera was quick to know that there mite b some unpxected things happened in his life which made him change making him paradox...truly a life changing incident... 😕 😛 after all she will defo play a big role to bring him out of this parodox... 😉
Of course!
'Languages... medicine... and numbers too?' he frowned, a hint of sarcasm prevalent in his pitch 'That's quite a few areas you're skilled at...'

'Skilled?' she acknowledged his sarcasm with similar doses of scepticism 'But, you're not far behind yourself, Khan Sahib...' her gazes trailed around her own crossed palms 'That was quite some display that night, at the canal... I must say, I haven't seen anyone else possess such good aim!' She waited, eager to hear what he had to say to justify himself

d khan sahib is really too smart he v easily found out that heera was trying to find out about him by spying on him... 😉 😎

haan... yahaan par both are 'savaa sher'

Raising a brow, Akbar sternly looked up to dart her a glance, before turning aside. As a man who'd never let his grit be swayed by beauty or charms - as a man who didn't want to be fascinated by her finesse, this was a juncture where he found himself failing in front of Harka Bai's perfection. Yet again!

Thank you...

so d stranger has been swayed away by her charms...

love u lash sahiba... 🤗 ❤️

love you too birthday girl

@ chellam..

Oh my Chellam I totally loved this update!! 🤣

'I had to fix the bridge... and you were in the way... that's all...' It cracked me like 🤣🤣

He's being rude to Heera and everyone seems to be cracking over that line... dunno why 🤣

and then 'So, I don't inconvenience you, by coming in your way!' Oh my girl 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 not only Akbar but mere this lady me to falling for you Lashy maata!! 😃 Their conversation was crisp and yet interesting!! and so loved it!!

Of course... I'm going to type in Tamil what I'd said in Hindi to Harshu above...

Both are super khilladis

Ok enough of drooling, coming to real business...

🤣 This sounds like something the leads are doing

The brisk tension between Shehzaade, Ustaad and Khalil was very well written dear. That entire scene was a sitting on the edge of a cliff like reading. So thrilled!! Hmm this Khalil is something 🤬 So it meant Harka has 2 enemies on one mission!!😲One is monster Khalil and Shehzaade someone else. Chapter by chapter you're adding enemies to a poor soul.. Lashy😡 But ok I'm leaving all to Akbar.😉😆

One by one not adding enemies... only one more lastest enemy left...ok?🤣

But Party time is... The farmaan is safe!!

Yeah!

So finally our Harka bai on her mission hope her moto will work.😭

😭

But what I enjoyed is her curiosity when she walked to meet Akbar. Again you're so well portrayed it Chellam. It's so nice to read.😳 But what I like it more is the way both understanding each other! His soft heart behind hard Armour and her vulnerability behind her dignified aristocrat... Wanted to read more.. But it's finished!! 🥺

BEAUTIFUL LINE... don't know how I didn't pick up on this first time around.. excellent da!

@durgeshnandini

Tahar...tahar...tahar, it sliced it's way ,all the way...

From the sweltering military arena of the capital of the mighty Mughals, to the arid , dimly little chambers of Aidabad, it was everywhere!!!!! What a fantastic chapter! Indeed...

Hi dear... as already said before... this was possibly one of the best reviews I've read here... just a few lines but so well described...

Beginning of the end...

There is a striking similarity between your review and Divi's Take 5... have you read hers? She's based it on the edge of the axe too!

Fate picks up his 2 edged tahar to slice off Khalil,

Edge 1)heera seeking help from the huge clan of Hindus, later she'll have Akbar with her too .

😉

Edge 2)Khalil's pride rises , for his fall as he would be disobeying his master's orders and ustad's advice soon.

Hmmm

Heera wearing a blue silk while she attends a meeting with Akbar!!! Hmm...interesting. Vaishnav padavalis say , Radha went on a rendezvous with KrIshmael wearing blue, I was reminded of that.

How sweet!

The shadowed and unkempt interiors, covered with a soft persian rug ,where no woman ever treaded. Like master, like haveli!soon some one with walk in into Akbar 's heart but the the floor is soft , so no footsteps will be heard...

Just let myself be drowned in these lines again!

@ Twinnie

Amazing chapter 8. So good. Glad to see some of the Prince's part. Oh what fate awaits the monster Khalil.

Yes... 😉

Loved Akbar and Heera's meeting. He is so very fascinated by her. Looking forward to seeing how their relationship starts and continues.

Thanks darling 🤗

@ Zhanna

Oh no Zhanna.. you've become busy! But, it's so sweet of you to drop in with your comments whenever you can... and I really admire the knowledge and information you bring on board!

While, Heera versus Akbar. Heera and Durga, despite the love of the people surrounding them, they are not "hothouse" children. They grow with the understanding that they are threatened not only the Mughals, but also their own, who want to encroach on their land. But Heera still welcomes any person with a calm friendly attitude and treats it according to circumstances and the way he will deserve his behavior.

EXACTLY!!!

Akbar exhibits "needles". Even if it justified his past life or male status, but I would say: 1:0 in favor of Heera. She is able to repulse as Queen.

What do you mean by needles? That he is losing to her charms more than she is to his?

I wouldn't say so... I'd say the 'facination' or 'intrigue' is mutual... BUT Heera is not fighting it off... she is embracing this 'fascination' with open arms... trying to solve the puzzle that he is

He on the other hand, is trying hard to not be personally intrigued, but its not working

@binduprasad41

lashy Di
fabulous, wonderfully what can I say so so beautiful update Di
and of course positive update also,

Thank you so so so much 🤗

two most important things happen in this story which I love the most one is farman is safe and both our leads meet,

Hee hee... I guess everyone's celebrating about that! 😛
OK so Prince don't think durga deserve that kind of death , he want to meet her .
at least he show respect her, he know Khalil did wrong to her,
Khalil did that kind of things without his permission because durga challenge his ego,
so Prince remove him from parnagarh assignment because he failed to bring real farman also,
farman is safe, what a great new

Yes dear.. you're right... prince is also playing political game here... if he associated closely with Khalil after this, it will bring him more problems in court.. so keeping him away for a short while till everything settles down

Khalil what cooking in his mind now but I hope our hero was there to save heera,

😳

Five days pass but mohan and daya health not heal completely,

of course why you heal them fast, both of them is sole reason in heera and Akbar love story ,

😆 Mujhe villain banaa diya!

I like heera strategy to save parnagarh by help of other Hindu community,
she don't have money and army so she need people support,
smart move by heera,

Yes!

Heera need permission to plants herbal leave which gokul and bajrang fail to bring so she herself go to ask his permission.
heera go to meet her khan sahib.

*gulp* HER Khan Sahib? HER Khan Sahib?

OMG Bindu... already 'her'... 😉

I must say heera abserve each and every things very deeply,
parnagarh people don't failed to give each and every details to heera which I like most in them,

Thanks dear 😊
but why khan sahib don't touch marwari food, I am waiting for answer in further chapter Di,

Uske liye abhi wait karnaa padega 😉
heera abserve his haveli very keenly so much that she figure out there was no womenly touch in his house and of course in his life also,

Yes!
so both our leads meet
I though khan sahib is annoyed by heera answer but he don't
so both know each other very well and admire each other skill,
both give each other explanation for each other behavior which both don't give any one,

YES... very well pointed out!

khan sahib looking each and every movement of parnagarh people , he also known parnagarh people seeking information about him,
so heera explain him why she doing that
heera told him about durga death also but he don't even sympathetic toward her,
which was strange

NO NO... this is one point you mistook dear.. he does show sympathy

'Yes...' his voice dipped, as a sign of courtesy, and empathy 'Chacha jaan mentioned about your sister... I am sorry to hear that...'

A few solemn beats passed, before he moved on to the next question

^^^ see!😊

OK so I love the most last part after reading that I am grinning like a fool,

lashy Di you describe so beautifully each and every things . you writing skills is just fabulous Di.
thank you so much for PM
waiting eagerly for next chapter

I love when my readers are left grinning like fools... love you too 🤗

@ Nams

Di.. I dont think I'll ever be able to tell you HOW MUCH I LOVEDDD this one... bestest so far.. and my absolute favourite... ❤️ ❤️ God... Was it dreamy or WAS IT DREEAAMYYY!!! Loved it x infinity times is the only thing I can say... Love how they always (lol its just second i know but still) end up being alone

I couldn't help but smile at the irony of your line 😆 ^^^

and the magical intimacy they share even if they are far apart from the other meaning of it as of now... GODDD This is just one of those beautiful magical rare moments of our beloved Akbar Heera and many are on their way ❤️ I am totally abso-freakin-lutely in a different world altogether... relishing the dreamy land... !

That is true... they share a few magical secrets... 😉

I specially loved the fact that though none of them know each other so well and yet giving explanations to each other (which they wouldn't even do to any other known person if they dont feel the need to)... passing gentle sarcastic comments on each other... the whole moment, scene and the conversation flowed with such smoothness...and had gentle breezy magical waves around it... thats how it was for me! Loved the ease with which they talked to each other... Akbar wouldn't care to give explanation to anyone... and yet he did... Heera wouldn't disclose her problems..her fears to anyone just like that (and specially when her guards reported seemingly suspicious stuff about him) and yet, her faith builds up in him since she can feel the honesty behind his words... God!

Yes! 😉

Lol.. ofcourse He must have known he was being followed... poor Heera 😆 ANDD the best part... he found himself failing infront of Heera's perfection... OH EM GEEE ☺️ ❤️ ☺️ ❤️

You dont know how much I loved it... I am going to read it so many more times... ❤️

Awww 🤗

I'll be back with detailed comments later... I managed to steal 20 mins out of you know what I was doing.. and read the chap lol... and HAD TO let you know how I felt exactly right now... so just typing this in a hurry n posting it...

Ok ok... hope that kid wasn't anwering Heera Akbar questions 😆

LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!! The Akbar heera moment made my day! And I think I was right when I decided to control myself and read it next sunday lol... but kya karein control hi nahi honda... coz its sooo difficult now to wait for next one! 😭

🤗 Sunday will be here in a blink

Sojji Begum is going to kill me... which page was her comments can't find it 😆

@ Stuti

I know I am too soon for the next chapter, but can't help it.😛

😆 ooo you chose bright green colour and all!

This chapter gives us a clearer view on Akbar khan, his past, his personality and his nature as well. So he is of 25 years?😉😆

I remembered Stuti's cut off point 🤣 and obediently listened to it!

From the tender age of 19 the started his business from zero and in 6 years he has become the most successful one... (How he invested first? Will we get detailing later?Hope so...)

Yes! 😆

I am sure he has a intriguing past which is related with the present plot😕... Waiting to read when you will reveal him more.

Arre baba... so many things are being revealed in each chapter. aa jaayegaa woh bhi!

We get different shades of Akbar's personality with his each moving steps in the stable. First and most interesting, he loves his horses from his core. The hardcore emotionless person with firm gestures and less talks is not actually that stone-heart what the guests of Parnagadh thinking.

Those Parnagarh people just like to gossip 😆 ainvayi... and for them, now Akbar khan became their dish-TV channels waalaa entertainment! basss

Then, his professional attitude; he does not care about the formal show-off of respect that his men are giving him or not, all matters to him is their service. His whole presence in the stable had changed the environment in a majestic aura, such a regal personality he has... Loved the whole scenario.

Thanks dear😳

The incident of stable with the ferocious horse was goose-bumping one. Akbar's reaction and instinct about horses is commendable. Liked his interaction with Bahadur... Bahadur is as smart as his master it seems.😃

Of course! 😉

He gave the dramebaz Gahfoor a second chance, which is very uncommon for him... Somehow it made me feel that he has soft corner for him... or maybe he can connect his past with him... and he, who is famous for his unforgiving nature forgave him after he mentioned about his brother,

He gave a second chance to Gafhoor because he senses Ibrahim's reaction... that he wants Gafhoor to stay.. he does it only for Ibrahim! 😊

don't know why I feel Abar too has a painful past related with his brother- like Heera's past with her sister... maybe...

🤔

Most importantly after that he suddenly asked Ibrahim a personal question on family, requested him to pass time with his wife, which was quite unexpected, as if he had become kinda sentimental...🤔

Though most of my predictions goes in a wrong path still.😆

ROFL btw, he wasn't sentimental... he was just being courteous...

I just hope Bindiya will not spoil the game again. 😆

😆 What game?

Heera along with Daya and Mohan has went off to reveal the mystery of the mysterious man.[Daya reminded me Daya of CID 🤣 ]... Liked reading their part.

🤣

I love Heera's concern and care for her men. She is a sweetheart along with all her intelligence and smartness.

😳

The ladies are tensed for Bindiya for good reason,

🤣

and are imagining Akbar as a monster. I liked the part when the maid described Heera the incident of stable with the mixture of her wild imagination, and Heera, I feel, got to know about his sentiments towards horses... This gang of ladies are so charming and cordial with each other. And they leave no chance of gossiping with any kind of interesting information.I loved the chit-chatting regarding Bindiya's fate, and how their direction of discussion turned from Bindiya's insult to Akbar's uniqueness. 😆

Exactly!!!

Poor Bindiya.😭 She is angry on Akbar and quite sure that none will marry him.😆😆 It would be fun to know Bindiya's expression after she knows about his love story with her Baisa.😃

😆

Dhani got a very unique clue about his character, which left everyone stunned as it is quite strange from a typical businessman... that he has no interest on girls of any kind, and he has no addiction other than his work. He is a rigid man of rigid character, there is no contamination in that rigidity.

And that he got many proposals which HE turned down, not the other way around!

I hope I will be able to read the next chapter soon. The story is getting more and more interesting day by day. 😃

Thanks dearie.. 🤗

@ Banjaras... (special one for Harshu).. this is for you

'I had to fix the bridge... and you were in the way... that's all...' Akbar had scoffed in response, like she was a mere inconvenience to him then

'Anyway, I came by because I wanted your permission... I'd need to use a patch of your garden... to plant a few herbs of mine... before they die out. And if you let me know where I can plant them... I'll bear in mind to stick to the boundaries...' a formal pause followed 'So, I don't inconvenience you, by coming in your way!' she ended her request calmly, with not a trace of annoyance in her voice - making it difficult for anyone to figure out if there was a 'wry remark' hidden in that request at all.

However, he knew what she was doing.

The heiress had returned his 'You were in the way' comment with a subtle retort - but in a manner very few could have done so. Her approach was civil enough so the reply wouldn't be counted an insult, and yet her words were clear enough to remind him that she was capable of being blunt too.

He was '😉' (insert whatever emotion you want to here) by her perfection in diffusing the situation at the forest and then again at the canal... remember, she gave him back tit - for-tat when she said she is not bizarre.. but actually, blind!
There also he had to take a step back because of her 'perfection'

oh... i read it but didn't notice that the tit for tat was for this...😆

>>> Thank you! 🤗But I forgot to ask you one thing.. I was like got the feeling that Akbar is intended to MEET their sahiba to clear about investigation thing otherwise I don't think Akbar have questions about Herbs and all..

And again forgot to mention about one thing😆 His gentleman-ism to change the topic when she talked about her sister's fate 👍🏼 SO HE'S NOT RUDE CHELLAM HE'S NOT COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO ACCEPT HER THANKS 😉😛
