Chellam 🤗 You've created that MAGIC once again.👏 I'm totally immersed in your aura of writing. So no wonder if I miss or forgot anything. Yes I totally forgot about the wounded ill guard who is the soul reason for Sahiba's stay.😭 Hope this is another challenge for Heera.

I'm in awe of this lady Gauri. You've stated her as mirror image of Heera but only difference is she's not effected by Akbar as our Sahiba! 😉😆 Heera is after all a noble woman so she has distinctive qualities but for a common lady like Gauri having that aura is exceptional. 👏 So no wonder she's the best friend of Heera and no wonder Gauri's hesitation of admiring AMK openly in front of Heera!😳

So Chittaranjan still on the way to Bansi.😲 So how Heera's message will reach him? What about the condolence message Heera dispatched to Mahendar? None delivered? Anything fishy? Hmm will wait and see.

A much wanted positive sign or news for Heera as well as me! Oh he came!!! 😛😆

The feast of course not only just foods but many more!😉

'Hush! You silly ladies...' shushed another group of maids playfully 'you'll end up casting an evil eye on his plate...' Yeah 😡

Despite the distractions, and the screens, and his apparent preoccupation with the feast, this 'charming gentleman' was well aware of how closely those gazes had been observing him - and for how long too. So, he decided to return the favour. O..M..G..!!! ** Sigh ** why I'm madly laughing and blushing as if Akbar looking at me! ☺️😆

Therefore, before returning to his desolate existence; he wanted to look her in the eye, and thank her once, for bringing a few rays of sunshine into his dim world. For giving him this opportunity to taste a selflessly satisfying meal. And for giving him a glimpse of how a real home felt. I don't know why. But Loved this paragraph and reading again and again. it means alot.👍🏼

'But, a smile? From Khan Sahib?' her sense of logic was quick to dismiss the notion 'Unlikely...' Yeah same as us!!😃

This old Hakim, working for Akbar for long time still not fully aware about Akbar.😡 Yaarukidda??😎😈

'Well, how would I know?' he frowned in reply to those questions soon after - after all, he'd never met an innocent woman before, and he'd never cared to observe anyone's smiles either. Aww poor boy! 😆

Well Lashy maata I'm not going to worry about Akbar's 2 day out!!😉 As like before, however far he wanted go away from his Sahiba, the fate always drag him closer than ever! and we're very sure about it! 😳 Phew thank god.. Sinna Periamma gave us the word "MAGIC"! Otherwise I don't know how to tell in one good adjective!! 🤓

15days??!!! 🥺 Don't try to become another Jahnu!! 😡 One is enough for us!! 😭😭

Writer-e-khaas,

Wow ... what a chapter ... made my Monday in many ways. While I was awaiting the details of the special lunch, what I found more poignant was the tension around the beautiful moments ... the serenity amidst a storm ... and you know which serenity I loved the most in this chapter ;)

What struck me in this chapter was a sort of role reversal- I hope I perceived that right. Typically, it was Harka who was like the cooling moon and Akbar the tempest. Here, in this chapter it seemed the tide was further shifting and roles were beginning to reverse.

In the rising tension whirling around Harka, it was Akbar that was the calm eye of the storm. By contrast, the usually raging Akbar was left wondering about the serenity in his reflection.

and hence, that is my take for this chapter ...

---
Harka's serenity amidst the storm (my take of her words):

(1) Amidst the pressure of Gauri's glares to leave all that was associated with you, how did the worry lines of my face lighten when I heard of your arrival?

(2) Amidst the chatter of worries of what our future held and whether my messages had reached our allies, how was I entertained by the enthusiastic chatter about you among the women folk?

(3) Amidst the misting of the eyes with the worse-than-death plight of Mohan Banna, how was I able to discern every softening of your attire and expression?

(4) Admist my Guardian's worries for where I was and how to find me to wed me to Kunwar Mahendar, how was it your "adab" that brought a new color to my cheeks as the "woman" in me recognized it to be special?

(5) Amidst my ability to brave every storm with my vision as it was, why was it the chance that I missed your smile that led me to feel a twinge of regret for my poor eyesight?

Akbar's storm turned to serenity (My take on his words):

(1) How had my stern eyes and clothes melted in the feel of home, while my stern pledge melted in the simplicity of your invitation?

(2) How did the eyes that were usually alert for the danger lurking instead observe your gaze that was a tad bit too long?

(3) How did my dominating stance, tilt for an "adab", out of respect or was it something more?

(4) How was it that my distrust that was usually proven right made way for my trust to be proven right- as the Hakim (unwillingly so) agreed that it was your able hands that had saved Bahadur?

(5) How is it that even as my anger exploded at the Hakim for refusing me, I found serenity to be my companion along with midnight? While I still may not be able to sleep, it is not a tempest of danger that keeps me awake but rather the thought of your healing touch.

---

And yes he may dismiss all thoughts of Harka as he stands at the door of death. But something tells me he will come to her side to save her from the doors of death very soon. After all, only a short time remains before Harka plans to leave. There is an air of foreboding as the messages she has sent does not seem to have reached their destination.

But writer-e-khaas, what shall I say about this chapter in conclusion? Everytime I say a chapter is my favorite, a new favorite emerges and the saga of the silly smile continues.
