(rofl because I am now a teenager!)

Good gracious, what a magnificent Chapter it was! Stunning writing, lashy.

You are a spectacular writer, my dear friend.

An exquisite picture!

1.Again, you started a chapter with a different and unexpected scene. Ofcourse, I liked it that how cunningly heera made that worker agree to use good wood for Mansabdar's cabinet without looking haughty but I loved it that she did this for "HIM. Whatever might be the reason but I believe somewhere she couldn't take it as it was unfair to her "Sahib and not only to kind mansabdar of Parnagarh.

2.I was reading this chapter impassively until I read this line, 'Begum Sahiba...' he stood up, to take a casual stroll by his chair 'why are you standing there... please come in... join us...' his head tilted towards the chair beside him 'take a seat here...'

A big smile curved my lips and I shifted in my place slightly just to read this line again. She was thinking that they had no manners to greet a lady but her man knows how to make his girl feel like a lady. A true gentleman he is! And what I liked is, she didn't hide that faint smile.

3.Akbar was amused by her sly expressions and I, by the cute banter of these two wise-idiots.

4.If the lines that Akbar didn't feel like home at parnagarh or aidabad were upsetting, a thought that soon he will find his home in his better half, his heera, his begum sahiba, made me smile.

5.You mentioned about bahadur and other pets, it was a bit surprising as I expected only heera but it felt good.

6.His racehorses - the royal racehorses were standing in the way between the miners and the rest of Parnagarh!

>>>An astute, sagacious and beguiling Khan Sahib!

7.'Thank you Ma Bhavani... thank you jiji...'

This time it didn't stop there. There WAS one other person to thank! Him!

Holding a pleasant smile on my face, I blinked as I reread this line, twice. And then this..

"'Thank you... Khan Sahib...'

Oh my god.. and what followed after that was your flawless, realistic and sublime description of Sahib's reaction. I got so involved in your words that didn't realise when my eyes got wet with a blissful smile, curling my lips.

8.And as if just to prove her wrong, there was a sudden ruffle at the entrance - after which, Akbar strode in.

'Oh THERE he is!'

Don't know why but this cracked me up! 🤣And and and I didn't realise why akbar was in a hurry. I thought he actually had to go somewhere, though It did come to my mind that vaid kaka once remembered Samarth singh when he saw Khan sahib but I had no idea that you would do this to us lashy. Agar aise he har sach samne la diya to ho gai love story complete inki.

Anyways, it's good because I don't think AMK could muster courage to himself tell this truth to her.

9.Why did his truth always come out in the worst possible ways?

😆😆

Do I need to say, how much I love Khan sahib? But this line made me laugh instead of feeling sorry for him. He did wrong to her, May be because, I take such things to my heart. It was her gift which he shared with many people for his benefit. Heera is a baisa, a very calm and self-possessed but had I been at her place, I would have dug those two laddus which he had just eaten. If you remember my comments, I was saying he hasn't eaten any laddu yet and why the hell he was distributing it to others.

Having said that, It was something she gave him from heart, in a hope that it will help to convey her feelings to his heart but what he did? He "used that precious gift to enter her haveli and eventually broke her heart to steal that farman. My blood is boiling writing this. I cannot tolerate this kind of betrayal.

10.Huh.. back to normal recalling last paragraph. Lashy just when I thought from when did you become so cruel that after a long, dreamy.. blissful chapter you're ending this update like this,. I read further just to get lost in a world of Akheera again.❤️

You wrote about heera's reaction very aptly. I could imagine how she must be feeling. Just loved your writing.

11.'Heera...' His whisper came out hoarse as he tried bridging the distance between them from behind.

'But what I ate today... could not match the quality of the eleven laddus I received in that embroidered silk pouch, Heera'

'Every single one of them was carefully hand-picked... all of them the exact size... garnished with similar nuts and raisins... you think I wouldn't notice?'

"Vaid Sahib is mistaken... I did save one... the best one... kept it for when I was hungriest to relish it most... ate it by myself when no one was watching... took my time... didn't share it... didn't even tell Azeez about it, though he had been travelling all along with me... I'm never selfish with food, but this one instance was an exception... that last one was mine and mine alone to enjoy - every... last... crumb... of... it!'

>>> These lines ^^^^^

Do I need to say anything?? Don't you know how charismatic your words were?

She wanted to stay angry. She tried. But, she couldn't. She wanted to feel hurt. But, she couldn't. The least she wanted to feel was 'bitter'. And for that, she deliberately recalled how foolish she'd felt until a short while ago. But even that did not seem to work.

>>> I could imagine.😃 Just Perfect! Her reaction, your writing, both.👏

After he reached the top, he glimpsed over his back just once, a look of satisfaction rampant in his eyes.

>>> Oh he did turn back to have a glimpse of his Sahiba! It was just.❤️

Left behind was a young woman with an unexpected name lingering on her lips 'Samarth Singh banna...'

>>> In Future,She would think to name their son Samarth.. NO?😆

PS: At least one thing she had to give to him - his choice of names was not as

unpleasant as his actions 'Sufi' 'Samarth Singh'

😆😆 I too liked these names.!!😛

I thoroughly enjoyed this Chapter,dear author. Thankyou.
