'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.

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!

Akkaaa...I officially LOVE YOU!!!!! I can't even tell you how much right now...this chapter was PERFECTION!!! ❤️

Yeah... we'll come back to the official/unofficial love later on 😆

Two of the bestest things in the chapter- One, I had this doubt about this fake or real farmaan which I have an answer to now- that's the first best thing and second, they meet again- I fell for these two all over again!!❤️ ❤️❤️

Hee hee.. 😉

Khalil🤢 I think it's better I don't start about him. The value of human life is zero for him. I pity the guards there, if this is what they are subjected to, Khalil's foul temper and impulsiveness. The manner in which they were talking about Durga's made my blood boil. And his reasons for snatching Durga's dignity makes me feel worse than anything! 🤢

Yes! I think watching brutality day in day out makes one a monster... imagine if you're the one committing those brutal acts then... he is losing his sense of humanity

And then this idiot messes with the Ustaad...and how entertaining was the rest of the scene!

😆 for some reason, that was the scene that took me the longest to write

Antything and anyone against Khalil is entertaining..And dearest Shehzaade still admires him. I still cannot somehow hate him as much as Khalil..1% less..maybe because he atleast had it in him to admit that Durga was worthy of all the praise she got.

Of course!

It's a Man's world they say...this proves it, and back the it was 100 times worse...a woman challenges this poor-excuse-of-a-man and she loses her life and dignity for it. Disgusting! 🤢🤢

😭

One thing that comes out of this is that our hero & heroine have the perfect match in Khalil. This takkar is going to be fun..can't wait! His pride matters so much to him? Then I now want his pride to be broken beyond repair.😡

Of course!

Heera's plan is pretty good, her plan and strategies are well thought of. Her courage is most admirable..a 16year old entering an arena from where she can't retreat is as inspiring as it can be. Really hope it works!

Entering an arena from where she can't retreat... wow.. what a beautiful phrase..

The herbal plants are my new best friends now...they wanted Heera and Akbar to meet as much as I did!!! And a 100 thanks to Bajrang for his suggestion to Heera. They did what I couldn't..so yay!! 🥳So coming to the most exciting part of the chapter..❤️

jadi bhooti's friend you became 😆 so sweet...

So turns out that it was a proper bachelor's home, 17th century version😆

Awww again.. so funny.. and cute! Sojji you're a ⭐️

Heera will take care of that in future😳 She realises he's unlike any other 25 year old man, just as she is unlike any other 16 year old- both having matured early and carrying huge responsibilities on their shoulders! 😳

EXACTLY!!!!

And I would like to know his reasons for not touching the Marwari khana too😆😆

Everyone wants to know the reason for that...

I'm no Heera, so I won't concern myself with the math...he didn't really mind her eavesdropping did he? He's so so awesome!

Hee hee... wasn't some big secret they were talking about ... and anyway, they were being boisterously loud.. 😆

And finally Heera and Akbar - their second encounter..as magical as the first, rather even more magical!!! Them addressing each other as 'Khan Sahib' and 'Sahiba' had me grinning like an idiot..I can't really explain why I found this amazingly romantic, just imagining these fords forming on their lips! Ok, I'm going off track..these two na!😆 Stunning transformation ha...I'm sure it was!😉

I find it a welcome relief from the serial's 'JODHA BEGUM' 'SHEHENSHAH' wanted to pick titles that would suit the era and yet sound pretty cool by today's standards... titles that weren't royal, yet regal! I'm glad everyone's grown to like it..

How observant are these two..gosh! He counts her areas of skill and expertise perfectly! Praises for each other, truthful ones laced with sarcasm..enjoying it thoroughly! My witty little guy, ofcourse he knows he was followed😆 I was surprised he went on to explain the reason for the money thing. I get the feeling that he wouldn't have bothered had it been anyone else. He didn't bother telling her people he belonged to Aidabad because it wasn't their business to know, yet he tells HER his in detail..

Of course! 😉

Again her observant self notices the changes in his tone the whole while, the sincerity and softness deep within him..😳

AWww

This time she gave away just as much as required. And he empathised...secretive guy!😉

And then he's back with a bang..she was in his way the other day, nothing else!! I chuckled there😆 And she's his girl after all, gives it back his way!😆 Perfect soulmates, I tell you!!!! ☺️❤️

soulmates because they give back hayooo 😆

The last 2 lines are dreamy...he fell for Heera's perfection yet again!!! The first and last girl who made him fall for her...*dreams on*

Just loving the glaring similarities between H-A. Their expressions that betray nothing of what they say and yet their sharp minds that understand what the other means, they are observant, courageous, responsible at such a young age, talented as hell, hold an authoritative position and yet have a pure, beautiful heart..(that'll beat for each other soon) I just LOVE THEM!!! ❤️

Phew, I'll stop now. I hope I haven't missed anything. This is the most amazing chapter everrr...Love ya loads🤗

No you haven't da.. you've expressed yourself so beautifully.. loved reading it.. 🤗

one more good edit, Kal...

just one question...when Akbar knows that he can go weak around her, then will he smirk or will he fume?? I think last pic can be Akbar with a look of bit harshness and rudeness...coz the words feel diff that he looks up sternly and turns aside ...sorry if I m wrong...

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">You are right, Dikshu.. that's the biggest difference between Jalal and Akbar..</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">one is social, other is a loner..</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">one enjoys joking around and being joked with.. he likes to smirk, smile, he is tedha...</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Akbar is shrewd and sharp both by tongue and mind.. but he doesn't indulge in jokes.. he doesn't smile or smirk.. angry young man in true sense!</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">So, difficult to find pictures for him.. since Jallu is always smirking😆</font>
