C47 Of Miracles and Lessons

What a miraculous escape it was for Sayyid! It took all his guile and great presence of mind to hoodwink his pursuers.

It did, didn't it?

The teachings of the Ustaad have been so deeply ingrained in his men that each and every action of theirs ,when on a mission, hinges on them for their very survival.

I am glad you brought that up, Rose... yes... the Ustaad's lessons... his men have ample circumstances where those life-lessons comes of use... like when Ibrahim stayed put at a crowded rich inn to stay safe😳 and now, Sayyid.

The murmur of saving lives before losing consciousness saved his own- his rescuer being a devout Vaid, which worked in his favour. Apparently, Sayyid's Khuda was already looking out for him.

👏

What a lesson in interrogation conducted in the open...under a mighty tree. The chilling and menacing flying blades rattled the prisoner ,no doubt, but not enough for him to spill the beans. What ensured his cave -in was when AMK played his trump card bringing the family into the equation and voila!- the captive became putty in his hands. Another masterstroke from the Grand Master.

'Adab Rosejaan' from the man himself!😉

Smiles, merriment and Bindiya's poetry were the order of the day at Mohan Banna's miraculous recovery. Indeed this development was most heartening to read after seeing him go through some very dark moments.

Yes indeed. For him, and for Heera. These doses of positivity are long-awaited much-needed and worked incredibly hard for... 👍🏼

The Mansabdar's arrival set off the delightful teasing session which would have gone according to script had it not been the Sahib that they were dealing with and hence the script was flipped with the horse ride invitation.

of course... 😉

Walls have ears and so to the woods , it was.

😆

The ambience couldn't have been more perfect to convey the verified devastating news of the dirty misdeeds of Mahendar. The despicable events that had unfolded and those that were yet to unfold opened the floodgates but Heera was in the best hands possible to emerge stronger , resolving to be her husband's steadfast partner.

Yes... the privacy of the woods was what they both needed! For, a while... to discuss, to share, and to be themselves...

This is her fight as much as his.

beautifully said, Rose!👏

After the tears, the whoosh of happiness in the woods came in the form of the archery lesson and Heera's ingenious way of getting rid of her husband's worries , albeit temporarily, that were plaguing him. Waiting for the rise of the moon is already raising the temperature.

☺️

The entire episode in the woods was sheer pleasure, darling author.

Thank you so much dearie... 🤗

The all-intriguing meetup of the two princes -one can only marvel at the foolhardiness of Mahendar going right to the top to serve his selfish ends.

Exactly! 👍🏼

The Prince forestalling him with his question should sound the warning bells for Mahendar. What twist is in store for Mahendar is being awaited with bated breath, author Sahiba. News of the tete-a-tete is on its way to AMK it is now all a race against time who will strike the first blow when and where it matters most.

Therein decides the fate of the story's future paths...

10,000 words that absolutely thrilled and amazed the reader. Thank you so so much , Lashy Sahiba , for this massively brilliant chapter !

Thank you da🤗

Thank you for this beautiful and colourful bunch of chrysanthemums - meant to reflect the mood of the chapter, is it? 😳

Okay in the grocery store this was the nearest to momos I could find. They call it gyozo. All vegetarian! I could have steamed or microwaved it but I like it sauteed so with spray just pan sauteed it for 5 minutes and took tamarind sauce on the side!! Bon Appetite! 😃

Following Lana's request, I am going to try and post this now when everyone seems to be around...

Caption.

Which lines/scenes can you think of for these pictures? (can be from HBAS, but better still if it's your own!!! Can be funny/serious - whatever you choose)

Akbar

1) - This one reminded me of terraced balcony scene when AMK and Heera showed the land for Merchants. This is specially when he hinted Heera about the land that faraway from the Haveli..

2) - This is reminded me of the scene when the couple shared the bed first time during temple visit inside the tent.. Specially when AMK thinking 'Ah Kudha when can I devour this eternal beauty'...😆

3) - This is reminded me of the Ustaad entry scene in the capital when he tried to stop Khalil's axe..

Heera

1) - This is also reminded reminded me of the scene when the couple shared the bed first time during temple visit inside the tent. Heera nervously waiting for AMK's arrival. And also the future scene where Heera nervously waiting for the moon rise..😉

2) - This one reminded me of the tour when she showed the haveli to new Manasabdar and praying he do not choose her father's chamber or praying he do not ask to show him Durga's chamber...😳

3) - This one reminded me Heera's meeting with AMK with still damp hair and that infamous stray curl..from last update C46..
