Some chapters sped like the rapid rivers, some splashed and made us gasp and hold our breaths. Some enthralled us is like the magic of the beautiful lakes. Some playful like the streams. But this one was calm and 'nishchal' like the deep seas. Seemingly calm but with multitude of currents beneath. And this stillness is much needed to feel the currents.👏


A 'home', which most probably couldn't be called HER home ever again.

As such it hurts to lose one's home. But to live in it without any rights over it is twice the punishment.😕

After all, the chief-maid was the only one who knew the story. And even what she knew - was truly nothing at all.

Gauri had suggested returning to Khan Sahib after Heera was turned away from Bansi but Heera had declared it an impossibility. Gauri must have thought that Khan Sahib cared for Heera as much as Heera did for him. ( She was the only one fully aware of what Heera felt for the stranger) and that is why he had come back to rescue her from Khalil at a great risk. Heera must have felt that Gauri's assumption is hardly a percent of the whole truth even if it were true. Ustad Khan Sahib had a multitude of other motives as well. But how fully correct Gauri was. Khan Sahib's care for Heera was the ONLY reason why he came back.

'Khan Sahib has kindly offered to take up the post of Mansabdar!

This line reminded me of 'Brutus is an honorable man.' But the sting was for Akbar and not the people.

This time, even the announcer was dumbstruck - and had to be prompted by the Lady to continue.

The extent of the shock the marriage would inflict on the Parnagarhis was expressed very effectively in this one single line.👍🏼

which is why, the Sahib and I have discussed this issue and come up with an idea... an idea where we both stand together, to care for Parnagarh..

Heera, the diplomat!👏 Making it sound as though the wedding was a joint decision made solely for the people's welfare.

.. the Sahib has assured me that we carry on working, living, eating and praying here, as we always have... nothing changes!'

She cast a hard glance at the young man, after having put him in the spot 'Isn't it true, Sahib?


Heera, the strategist!👏👏

Bottom-line - this was the old Mansabdar's room and it would stay that way.

Why do i feel that Heera herself will invite him to ger father's room when she sees his sincerity as a Mansabdar and understands and accepts his motives and actions.

Besides, the potted plant at the doorway held his gaze for a blink - it was the beautiful rose shrub that he'd felt quite guilty about prodding and poking during his search for the Farmaan.

The plant had actually bounced back to life - its flowers fresher than ever 'Thank you...' A flash of contentment shone in his eyes.


This is another very clever piece of writing.👏

During the farmaan hunt, i was wondering why there was elaboration on his tryst with the rose plant and the prick it gave him, as it had nothing to do with the secret hiding place at all. The guilt he felt while disturbing it, practically uprooting it to succeed in his mission, the prick, and now the lushness of the plant is symbolic. It must have assuaged his guilt giving him hope that his love that he had dented and damaged could thrive and flourish like the rose plant.😳


So much so, that the traditionalists began sympathising towards the Kunwarsa of Manswar, ready to overlook the prince's misdeeds.

It is lines such as these that add dollops of realism to the story. Even today when there are stray incidents of honour killing, had there been no resentments it would have sounded utopian. The division of opinion in the people was the most natural thing and inclination towards the swine too a distinct possibility in some.😡

Heera stood like a lone pebble on the seashore - moving with the tide, be it a gentle current or a stormy wave - her inner grief drowned under the crucial obligation to keep-up appearances, over and over again.

How very touching!😭


Nor did she forget how he'd returned the favour by spying on her troupe.

😒


'I've seen the look you had in your eyes at Aidabad, whenever his name was mentioned... and... and I haven't seen that look again, ever since you've returned...'


Now, this is Gauri, the perceptive.👏


I thought you would be only too happy to welcome him back, after everything he's done to make up for his mistakes!'


Gauri, still not convinced. A small nag that spots her Baisa's difference in behavior.😛


About to be wedded by next evening, the feeling was a funny one to describe.


Again, perfectly in sync with Khan Sahib's portrayal so far. Had he enjoyed the affair it would have been unusual.

I've been meaning to mention this since I saw you, a week ago... you remind me of someone...' he turned to his fellowmen for suggestions 'I can't recall who it is though... '

Lashy, share your badams with him please.😆


Masks her sorrow with a smile'

Akbar wasn't surprised. After all, these were meant to be the most special days in a girl's life. But for the Sahiba, it was effectively ruined - making it the worst week of her life. What was worse, this was one nasty reality he would never be able to rectify.

Khan Sahib, the perfectly perceptive and sensitive.👏


'She masks her sorrows with a smile... but, that is only because she doesn't know my son... a time will come when she does... and then she'll realise that there is no one on Earth who could care for her better than my son could!'

He wiped his eyes.

👏

Isn't this the jist of Part 3?😳




Brilliant Sandhya di as always 👏👏
I just love your write up
Your views on Gauri is just amazing 👏
I totally agree with you
Thank you Sandhya di 🤗

Well most of you all voted for Anklet design A. 😃 But I'm choosing option B. Not because it's simple and elegant but there's lot more.😉

1. AMK is simple man with simple taste.
2. He loves Heera so much so no heavy or sharp edges on her delicate skin.
3. He knows her beauty so no more addition to distract him

🤣

@ Chellam

🤣 Haiyo,Chellam- you are without doubt the charming Birbal at the court of Empress Lashy Sahiba entertaining her subjects with your intelligence, spontaneity and a killing sense of humour. ⭐️ 👏


Ok, Chellam- no precious tears will be shed, no hearts will break because we know this bitter pill ( workshops and exams ) is for your career advancement and if this paves the way to be the BOB ( Boss of the Boss) , we are more than delighted to cheer you on. Wishing you all the best, darling! Do pay attention in class and control yourself - you can pass over the handsome lecturer to get a handsome boss ! Silver lining phrase - limiting not stopping .


@ Lashy

Today after so long... I spent so much time here... 😃

But this is payback time for leaving us for so long. 😆

Lashy Sahiba, when are you going to attempt Periyamma's quiz (Page 56)?

Eager to read your responses. 😊



@ Vrinda

What a dhum dham review, Vrinda! 👏

AMK selecting Heera's room - now that is an eye-popping thought ! 😉



@ Harshu

u want to knw xact time its frm 13.08 scene😎@bold🤗

OMG- able to precisely state the exact time to the second of a JA scene. Amazing! You should seriously consider doing a PHD thesis on JA , Harshu Sahiba. 👏



@ Sandy Begum

A review from Sandy Begum is always as riveting as the update itself.👏 ⭐️ 👍🏼

At last lashy i got time to read the chapter. Was desperate to read the update but couldnt do so as i was tied up with other things, finally read it. I was wondering how young harka baisa would put forward the marriage deal in front of her people, but this is lashys smart little wonder women😳. The way she dealt with the matter was endearing thou there were differences amongst parnagarhis, but still there was no other better way to put forward such matters.your description of AMK in his fineries and harshu's musings were commendable👏. felt sad for sahiba😕, this should be the most wonderful moment in her life, but she feels otherwise, but as chachajaan said, soon a day will come when she will recognize the golden heart of AMK. Waiting for next chapter where we would all be the baraatis who will witness the wedding of two wonderful souls😳
