Yes NOW I UNDERSTOOD what you were trying to say..thanks to zhanna's comment... you are right, he changed the topic so she doesn't feel bad...

but as a man who generally keeps his manners in check with her, was rude to her when she thanked him, because he doesn't want to listen to the word 'thanks' from her... her obligation... again, I didn't realise this is what you were talking about...

Hey Lash, 🤗 u deserve a big big round of applause👏...not just for the story, but the way u use few special words of Urdu/Farsi to make the special impact of that era, of that particular situation...and then the way u take efforts to help ur readers to understand the exact meaning of those words...really commendable...👏👏

So chap 8 : one more wonderful chapter...rather better than previous ones, coz it not only takes the story further, but it also opens the new faces of the main characters like Heera, Akbar, Khalil and shehzade...

Abt Shehzade, then felt much better to see, that he still has somewhat humanity in him... or may be I m wrong, may be he would have done same hateful thing with Durga, but still, I think there is a very small piece of decency in him, may be due to the influence of his Ustad...just want to know, that Ustad hated Khalil's entire misdeed, or he just hated the fact that Khalil lost to control his lust and failed in his mission... and if the later is the reason, then does it mean, that if Khalil would have been successful in bringing the real farmaan, then both Ustad and Shehzade wouldn't have mind Durga's worst insult by Khalil...and if this is right, then I wish all of them should face much worse fate than Durga...

And abt Khalil, then have a feeling that he is going to be a big back-stabber even for Shehzade🤢...this man has no trace of humanity in him😡...while reading abt him, he feels like combination of Adham , Sharif and that fazal beig (Mahachuchak's man) of our JA😉...wish, it would be Heera, who will seal his fate, and that too very brutally ...though, that's not her character to be so brutal , still I wish to see her like that when it comes to take revenge for her sister's humiliation...

And abt Heera ...loved to see her positivity and straight-forwardness...her strength , despite her weakness...her willingness to fight and win against all odds...to use all available resources in her favour...simply amazing...👏

Akbar...again he seems to be a man of his own mind...the one self made...he makes the world to see him, the way he wants, and that helps him in hiding the real self...and that's why he is not comfortable around Heera, coz he knows that she will be the one who will see him through her brain/mind/heart as her eyes...and that vision will give her his real self, not his outer face...and he is wise enough to understand that she can understand him more than he is ready to expose himself...

Frankly , I m loving this battle btw two...Heera's simplicity, purity and intelligence and Akbar's insightfulness, shrewdness, and sharpness...still her purity will be his undoing...

But ofcourse, all this will be only if Akbar will be "The Stranger" of ur story... if u decide to make somebody else as Stranger then who knows...afterall the story is always Author's imagination, vision and creativity, right??😉

Hiii everyone When I read about durga in first few chapters, I was curious to know how you are going to make heera different from durga and still admirable...
Cause all heroic qualities were possessed by durga but as the story progressed we got to know about heera more. And what a MASTERPIECE she is!!
Courageous ,smart, sharp and as said by her sister wisest 16 year old and most importantly open minded.
Coming to akbar, what to say about him, like all other forumwaasi's I too fell for him. Sabne itna bol diya ab mai kya kahu "khan saahib" ke baare me!!!
The convo between akbar and bahadur reminded me of maharana pratap- chetak. The unique connection warriors shared with their pets is fascinating.
The politics part is just as amazing. Getting interesting with each chapter!!
The historical theme and timeline is just perfect. Hindusthaan must be in chaos then.
Prince is just as cruel as khalil, trying to shift blame on khalil. It was his orders to get the farmaan by hook or crook. Not that I like khalil he is worse than beast but Prince is so cunning.
Durga's death was biggest shock till now but now farmaan is safe so this seems to be biggest shock though in positive manner of cource.
So your akbar is counting hunars of heera baisa . Great going
Whenever they met there is magical chemistry which is hard to describe.
Hats off to you for creating such intriguing characters .
Will come back soon .
