Heyy!! Sorry for the late arrival 😃 Now as my reputation regarding reviews is spoiling...I really need to improve it 😛

If you are late arrival, what would my reply be called Shivu? 😆

Whatt!! The first person we got to meet after the long wait is that Kameena -Mahendra 😡

God!! He's enjoying his married life..haan!! Romanticizing with his wife.😡 Why you show so much mercy to the villains writer Sahiba- He got an innocent, beautiful, "Pati-vrata" wife 🤢 This was the least I expected. Atleast a shrewd, cunning, laalchi (greedy) woman would have compensated his kameenapan.

Well look at it this way... his wife would have been an innocent 15 16 year old girl...😊 a princess living a sheltered life since her family was so powerful... those traits wouldn't suit her na

And look...Mr.Swine is missing Durga Bai...like really😡, he has the guts to resemble her face in his wife's. She is too pure to be a part of your imaginations...you idiot.😡

*calm down* *deep breaths*

Ok calmed down?😆

Well... a perfect villain makes a perfect story and without some "Shadyantrs" (evil plots) going on in background, there will be no masala.😉 BUT you gave a beautiful innocent wife to him 😡 I just cannot swallow this truth. 😡 And after one villain darshan..there is another Maha-kameena on his way back to the story again. Shaakaal & Mogambo are again going to shake hands! Wow! 🤢

Shaakaal and Mogambo?😆

As for the you gave a beautiful innocent wife to him - unfortunately Shivu that is the truth, is it not? In many a case? Like Ravan got Mandodari!

Now...leaving those swines to their frustrated self...moving on to meet ...ahem ahem... My dear Khan Sahib ! 😳 Its been days we met 😳 ( I can imagine Lana Di's expressions 😆 chill Mishti-doi 😉 A shishyaa is saying this 😆)

ROFL!😆

Well..well !!

Someone's in deep thoughts... Our dear Sahiba is busy flipping the pages of the book for the fourth time...Really in deep thoughts!! 😆

Its been a week..already ??!! Wow 😲!! I was expecting a detailed description of the next morning.😒

When the next morning was only 'fleeting' how could there be an explanation more detailed than what was written?😉 From his side, there's been quite a few words about her though...

"Of course, she didn't know how HE'd spent the night. And she didn't care."

>But we do care ..and we want to know how he'd spent the night!

Or so she says... obviously.. she's asked herself the question many times though 'Kahaan pe soye? Soye bhi ki nahin?' and then back to 'I don't care!'😆

"the last instance he saw her from close quarters was 7 mornings ago - during that dawnbreak, when he decided to stop by his bed, once, before leaving the chamber." ☺️ ☺️

>> like how Kawsi Akka says- Isshhh!! ☺️ 😆

Kawsi akka? And 😡... maybe you're forgetting someone else?

"She was fast asleep, cocooned within his sheets, blissfully unaware of the world around her, blissfully oblivious to him watching her. And as he observed his bride's restful form, his sleep-deprived eyes had briefly lit up, his firm jawline softening into the slightest smile at the sight of her drowsy features. That intoxicating picture was still fresh in his mind like it was from a moment ago, the memory tucked away in the safest corner of his heart forever. "

This romantic side of Khan Sahib is special. The control he holds on his heart and mind is the thing which makes him so different, so unique. What a peaceful sight it is ...to see him standing near her and watching her sleep,capturing her innocent beauty in his sleep-deprived eyes, smiling to her new alluring shades as his newly wedded wife,...adding one more picture of her to his "Heera" Collection! ❤️

He is so romantic!! In his own special way !

Adding one more picture of her to his "Heera" Collection - OMG Shivu... what a beautiful beautiful line dear... OMG! A line to treasure...

He is so romantic!! In his own special way ! ---> we had a major discussion about this over the past few pages and so coincidental that we got to read your line here stating this!

'Begum Sahiba?' The grim lines on his forehead - the sign of a hectic afternoon - steadily eased out. 'She's here? As part of the audience?' he smirked mildly, in disbelief 'To watch the entertainment?'

'Begum Sahiba"- The mere thoughts of him addressing her with this title in his voice ...*sigh* butterflies doing Bhangraa in my tummy 😆

Begum Sahiba... Wowww!! Woww!!! ☺️

Butterflies doing Bhangra?😆 Mwah!

Arre wah... ROFL... what cute changes happen to you Shivu

and I am so glad that most have loved the word 'Begum Sahiba' 😳

Coming back to normalcy...

Aaan...haannn!!!

Horse races are going on... and she is a spectator to his sport. Woo-hoo!!

Thanks to our cutest Bindiya ⭐️ She always manages to become a reason behind their special "eye-talks" 😆 Earlier in that Theft kaand ..they had anger cum understanding convo through eyes and now..they will have a cute & mesmerizing one !😃

Yes dear... Bindiya and Bahadur are the two cupids in their lives❤️

Then his "Adaab" and her "nod" came...following her betting sessions.

I knew this is going to be fun but the following events were funnier 😆

Wait wait...before moving forward... a special mention of the personality you introduced to us in this chapter- "Sufi" The name itself is so divine !

Horse- ❤️Love!

White Horse- ❤️ ❤️ Love Love !!

White Horse named "Sufi"- ❤️Love infinite !!!

"When that horse moves, it's no less than poetry - that's what he tells his men!" and he tells so right !!

Let yourself...

become...a living Poetry..!! - Rumi

A beautiful "Sufi"verse for the one who holds it as his identity ! How did you choose this particular name Akka ?...I want to know this 😳

What a beautiful set of paintings dear...

It was a name in passing that just stuck with me... because sometimes, I've seen photos or slow-mo videos of horses galloping and I think it's one of the most beautiful forms of nature moving... and it reminded me of 'poetry' immediately the name Sufi just clicked... 😳

I am glad that the readers liked this name so much! And the horse too... aakhir AMK ka horse hai - has to be special!😃

Now...These two ladies have grown suspicion in my mind.

They deserve a thank you for showing us the "a- bit" jealous side of Begum Sahiba but if they turned out to be any of the villians army-members ..tab toh lag gayi. 🥱 And if not that... then, what if Heera's strict warning made them angry and they palnned something against her in future.. 😲 ( Lana Di & Anindita Di..we do not expect this from you,,Okk??) 😆

ROFL😆

"She did not want to indulge the pet since she did not want this bringing back memories of Aidabad."

>Bahadur... My sweetheart ! ❤️ Look what your antics- pyaari antics, turned the situation into.🤗 No matter what... you will always be the BEST !

Gosh look at the black horse!❤️

>The Star !! Not only Akbar, but we too love you a lot! No one else can out- stand You ! You don not need to show your abilities darling, though your loving act resulted into a beautiful special moment of them. ❤️ Thank you !!

Of course! 😃

"Tugging at the ropes he brought its ears close, a prankish streak of jealousy echoing in his whispers 'I can see that even SHE's beginning to get attracted towards you... they're rejoicing that you won... which means she placed her bets on you...now...' he paused 'do you think she'd bet on you, if I was the rider?"

The first glimpse of possessiveness 😉 >Khan Sahib and prankish jealousy... did I read correctly 😲 Aaa haaa!! 😃

No no... you forget the first REAL glimpse of possessiveness😉... when Azeez informed Akbar that Harka's wedding had been fixed with Mahendar... that was real unadulterated possessiveness... this was just having a bit of lighthearted moments with his horses!

You riding on Sufi... a sight so so Handsome Khan sahib No wonder Heera couldn't take her eyes off from your Rider-avatar.😆

'He doesn't usually participate in these races, does he? Does that mean he's racing because I'm here?' she heaved anxiously 'He's realised that we've been placing bets, hasn't he? Is he challenging me, in some way?'

'Bindiya...' she turned to her maid 'change your bet...'

> O terrii..!!😆 The Battle of Bet begins...

Oh terriii? 😆OMG Shivu... thank you so much for this... was having such a slow morning till I read your review...

"He rarely ever raced on the tracks. Even rarer were the instances when he'd raced in front of a crowd. And never had he raced in her presence before. So, every vein in his body was pounding with excitement as he crouched forward - blocking out all other sounds in the arena."

>I didn't expected him doing such things in open as he is of very reserved self but today..you're a Khiladi Sahib 😆 playing along with her.

Well horse-riding is his speciality😉... but yes... she took a big step coming to his races... he did take an extra step outside his comfort zone, just to see her reactions...

"He did not know whom she had bet for. He was not certain if she would win today. But, he would not lose."

>My! My! Khan sahib is in no *let her win* mood 😉

Nope! He doesn't want her to lose... but he doesn't want to lose either - at least not in horse riding... jo baayein pair ka khel hai! 😉

"He was fast as light. But ironically, the longer she looked, the more the world around him appeared to slow down to a stop. As he rode, the wind threw his hair back freely - a striking contrast from his dead-set features. His razor-sharp glares were focussed on nothing but the course ahead, while his broad shoulders moved perfectly in sync with the muscles of his horse. Never before had she observed him riding. So, never before had she seen such a sight - such a handsome sight."

>That was a drooling session! 🥳 Finally you paid some attention towards his handsomeness ...Dear Sahiba. Writer Madam, you chose such a perfect way for her to notice HIM- Riding a horse, his majestic self appeared ten times more Striking! The hairs, the features, the muscles...ooo yeahh!! 😎 Afterall... She is still a sixteen year old and her husband is too handsome to be ignored for a long time.😉 😆

Sixteen year old kyaa... sixty year old also would be drooling😆... how much ever gussa she was... she couldn't' deny that he was handsome!

'Bahadur... you're really giving this race everything, aren't you?' scoffed Akbar, biting down upon a sportive smile as he watched how his pet had slowly inched past and somehow managed to keep ahead for most of round one. "

>I couldn't stop laughing at this line 🤣 🤣 🤣 Oh my God!! I never knew, Khan sahib can be this cute! 😆 Bahadur... Love you again 🤗Haaahahahhaha!!!! 🤣

As you said earlier - he has his own way of being cute!😉

"He whistled a low tune - a tune that was generally reserved for Bahadur. 'It's alright my boy... I'm proud of you... you've done very well...'Finally! The message worked like a charm."

> Aww!! They share a relation so pure and beautiful!

Yes they do.. 😳

And then, with a song playing in the background...the game of eyes begins...

'So...' he frowned slyly 'you bet for Bahadur, did you?'

'Yes... I bet on Bahadur...and from what I just saw, I do not think I was entirely wrong in doing so!'

Akbar did not blink.

He kept the tantalising banter between their gazes going.

Until she realised what was happening and broke free from his trap with a sigh.

[Song- "aankhon ki gustakhiyaan" from movie "Hum di de chuke sanam' Starring Aishwarya and Salman.]

"'Adab...' he finally conceded with his eyes before turning Sufi around and riding away."

...Adab !!

This was the cutest interaction between them. The special mentions to Khan Sahib's new free style- clad with a little mischief. She returning to her rebellious avatar, both ..lost in their chat session forgetting about the surroundings. Loved it..loved it..loved it!!!

Yes... that was the second time he stepped out of his comfort zone... again, since she took a big step by actually enjoying herself/betting/giggling/doing masti mazaak... so, he came to her place to find out what was going on with his Begum Sahiba (and challenge her, of course!) and that ended in a silent banter between the two!😛 Their first one was outside the temple steps...

"her shadow had come under the shade of a large familiar shadow emerging from behind. And the larger shadow continued closing-in on her, till both shadows had overlapped into one silhouette."

>Shadows merging... 😳 Only you can bring such beautiful concepts into imaginations and then reality, Writer Sahiba.

Thank you da😳

So, the scroll's here , changing the environment into a tensed one. But Don't worry Sahiba... HE is there to handle it. 😳

And the chapter ends with the same person- Mahendra 😡

But I'm still trying to get hold of my butterflies ... "Begum Sahiba"

Butterflies doing Bhangra - only in Shivu will such anokhi things happen!🤗

Love this so so so much, but love you more!

' darn Khalil' when he cussed..I realized he was missing durga bai..even though he has searched a wife looks like durga bai..but how can he would instigate the traits of durga bai..the fire, guts confident that oozed out naturally from her..

Yes dear.. not possible... that's why we must treasure our special relationships in life... ek baar kho jaaye tho waapas nahin milte!

I love the race ...u have made it live and spectacular by ur extraordinary narrative skills..bahadur banter was so amazing and intriguing...khan sahab ka ladla Bigar gaya hai..

OMG 🤣

But I read about it - apparently - horses like dogs can get quite possessive of their owners... and they need to be reassured

the most amazing part of this race was khan sahib coming out of his comfort zone to have some fun with his wife..

Both of them came out of their comfort zones here... she came to watch the races, he decided to race... she decided to smile,bet, have fun etc... so he decided to have fun by challenging her..

I am truly touched knowing khan sahib has kept the glimpses of his sleeping wife in the safest corner of his heart..this is the poignant moment ..so special.. so personal..

❤️

Lasy one thing I begin to understand men always preferred firey, gutsy, spunky over calm, cool and simple.mahender and khan sahib both are the victims who fall for these traits.

I replied to this part earlier.. don't know if you read it but typing it again... Heera IS a calm, cool girl who loves the simple things in life even if she is high-born! Her circumstances have been truly exceptionally tragic... and even then, she rarely loses her cool (or at least never shows it outwardly) and it is for this calm/graceful/softspoken/angelic Sahiba that he fell...

He's met many spunky fiery hot-headed scheming women at court and elsewhere... But it was Heera's softspoken calm nature that attracted AMK to Heera...(and yet, she is not a doormat - she has plenty of inner strength - even when he met her first time, he knew she'd just lost her sister - but, she was calm/positive enough to be able to jest with him)

It drove him to want to protect something so 'pure' from being destroyed - from the very first meeting... and he started feeling very protective of her right from then.

E.g. AMK would not have been attracted to Durga... 😳
