Lashy, what can I write about it! It was your masterstroke, the highlight of the chapter! When I read C50 and saw Heera on her knees I was enraged, felt disgraced and dishonored on her behalf, felt more fury towards the Shehzade! It was painful for sure!
But when I read about AMK falling on his knees it took the ground off of my feet too! I saw this huge strong, steady, sturdy mountain collapse and crumble right in front of my eyes! The one who provided shelter to so many, provided shade to the valley and kept it cool, protected the valley from outside attack...and with its fall...poof...all was gone! 😒 It was so painful that it brought tears to my eyes! The stalwart of courage, the tower of strength, the solid wall of confidence toppled in front of my eyes and along with that my heart too went into pieces! 😭
Lashy I could see in front of my eyes how he fell, the stance, the low hung head, drooping shoulders, tousled hair covering his face and acted as the veil for the misty eyes, how he felt so lifeless and just plopped on one knee slowly with a dejected body language and then after a pause the other knee plunked down as well in a thud with rattling of the chains! 😭 You might have pictured it differently but this is what I saw in my mind! There was a sense of loss I felt, a tragic loss, the dependence factor was gone, all hopes were gone! I just saw a strong, steadfast, stout person collapsing in front of my eyes in helplessness, in hopelessness, in heartbreak, in heartache...bowing down to save his love, save his near and dear ones, save himself, thus giving himself up in submission to captivity and death! 😭😭😭 It was so tragic, so moving! 😭
The man who was a rock for everyone is now at the mercy of an eccentric tyrant who to appease his jealous ego is enjoying the plight of his so-called brother! A punishment so huge, so unfair, so undeserving for a mere offense when others committing graver crimes were roaming around scotfree and scheming away! 😡 I wonder what would be Huzoor's stand if anything like Durga happened to one of his family member and that too by a Hindu general! Would he have kept quiet? Would he have not sought for justice? Would he have not taken it on his hands to punish the culprit? But then again rules are different on the other side of the justice line! 🤔
The man who never shed a tear in a decade had moist eyes and is unable to look up in shame, derision, guilt and pain! Shame for unable to save his near and dear ones, derision out of the mockery of the hyenas there who insinuated a vile suggestion to the most sacred relationship of his life, in guilt because he couldn't keep his word to his Begum to avenge her sister's death and in pain because the person who he looked up to as his mentor, role model, brother has deserted him today and is not only enjoying his fall but is the sole and whole cause of it! His Huzoor not only is supporting the backstabbers but is stabbing AMK's back himself! 😭 It was an epitome of desperation! 😭
The silver lining in this dark cloud was the inspiration he had from within to stand back up again, to strike back with full force and intelligence and vengeance! Like a true Phoenix, he rose from the ashes within himself, those ashes where he got immolated some moments ago in sheer dismay and distress! Before we were reading about how Paradise was Lost and finally we regained our Paradise! The Fall and Rise of Khan Sahib! Literally, He 'rose' in love! 👏
And he had his soulmate next to him giving silent support and later verbally proffered her repartee to support her Sahib in front of the Shehzade to bring more weight to AMK's accusation! True soulmates, made for each other! 👍🏼
Kudos to you Lashy for penning this scene so beautifully in such a touching manner where the readers too will read with moist eyes and damp cheeks! 👏 Loved it, felt it, embraced it! I was moved, was touched, was pained, was in tears!
