Good morning everyone!

Thank you kuki and rose! 🤗

Lashy - Now I understand why you keep insisting to post here. I'm not sure who Pallu is? (may be you are referring by her given name). If I remember Lana is lgosh, right?

Either ways, Hello Pallu & Lana😊

Now coming to the complicated part 😆

-Can anyone explain how to reply to specific posts? Right now I'm at a phase where I only know to 'like' and reply in general to everyone 😃

-What is TIP. Is it "Tangled in Parnagarh" as explained in grandma's story? If so, where can i find previous episodes? That Baby & Babloo story by grandma was hilarious 😆

-What does patti mean? She seems way senior than anyone else here, so what am i supposed to call her? 😕 Remaining all I'm referring by names. Hope no one has an issue with that😊

That's all for now i can think of. Will come up with more qs once i get a hang of this. Back to work now😊

Episode - 6

Lana tried her best to stifle her yawn. The carnivals, sounds, celebrations and rituals were not exactly her cup of tea. She preferred the quiet of her farms, the seriousness of her business, and spend her spare time amongst her books, admiring the pretty princesses and drooling over her Prince Charmings. She turned to her right to see how Azeez was faring. Going by what she saw, Azeez Shah was having the time of his life. Tasting the best dishes, joining the men in serious and light hearted talks, displaying his knowledge of weaponry, his mischievous humour, everything about him made him a little hero among the younger lot. The older men too were impressed.

"Do tell us what you think about this sword. " Two eager lads sought his opinion on their purchase.

Lana's uncle came towards her beaming with content. "Do you see there beti, the young man with the red and black turban. Being your guardian, i had decided on him as your husband. He is Vijender, a gold merchant and was quite skeptical when you arrived with your choice. But now i am content. Our Rajender Beta is so charming and witty. And a weapon trader and an expert at it too. It is sad that he lives very far from us all. But I am so happy for you." Lana felt guilty seeing the tears of joy in her Uncle's eyes.

Why does Azeez have to overdo his part? But he was successful in holding the attention of most and giving Khan Sahib a clearer field. But where was Khan Sahib? How successful was he thus far. As Lana looked around, she saw HER hero give an unobtrusive signal from near the sherbet table.

At Kuki's house

Kuki said 'Sshhh' and signalled her guest to keep quiet. She thought she heard a THUD outside her window.

She listened intently for a while, and hearing no further sound, said, " Yes, go on"

"Let me finish these pyaaj kachoris first" came the quick reply.

At the mansion

"We have learnt the important rooms of the mansion and combed through the smaller ones. Just the 6 bigger ones on the first floor remain. Will you stay guard there near the corridor and give us a signal if someone comes up or anything alarming crops up? Let Azeez keep his audience distracted. "

"What signal?"

Picking a glass cup on the table KhanSahib said "Have this and drop it so that it crashes. That will be the signal. We'll drop our work and check out"

Lana Sahiba took her place in the corridor with the glass of Sherbet in her hands, appearing to admire the paintings on the walls.

In Kuki's house

"Are you finished Afzal or would you like some more?" Kuki asked the boy across the table.

"Food at the haveli is excellent but i love your pyaaj kachoris very much. Khan Sahib picked me up from the streets and gave me a living at his stables, and you didi, treat me like a younger brother. I thank God, for blessing me with you all."

He took another mouthful and continued.

"As i was saying, Shah Sahib has left with a little group. Khan Sahib too has gone with them. Sayyid Sahib and Lana Sahiba too."

"Lana Sahiba? Who is that? Azeez told me that they are going to buy horses and will be back in a week. What will a Sahiba do there?"

"Bindiya didi says that her Durga Sahiba used to be the best judge of horses ever. This Sahiba has a peanut farm and lives in a mansion there. Don't you know her? Azeez Sahib knows very well. I have seen him at the farm many times. Why even the day before yesterday when i was returning after delivering a letter i saw him enter the peanut farm."

The day before yesterday was the day of their perfect moon night boat ride. And Azeez was glaring at the pretty girl in the balcony. So he had been there after that.

Kuki's mind whirred up a lot of thoughts and Tomato men were hovering around her head. She decided what she must do as her hands instinctively reached out to her trusted pan.

"Didi...didi...where are you lost? I must leave. It is getting late."

"Good bye my little secret spy soldier" Kuki waved at him, "By the way, do you know where they have all gone?"

At the mansion

"How i wish it were you and me Khan Sahib" Lana sighed at the painting of a couple at the corridor.

"Lana bitiya! What are you doing here, We were looking for yoi in the hall"

Her uncle's voice shook Lana out of her dreams and she sent the glass that she was holding down with a ...CRASH.
