Lana, pull yourself together, Baisa, and come back. A problem shared is a problem halved- share your anguish here with us to lessen the heaviness in your heart.🤗

She messaged me telling me her mind is here, but not her heart and that she needs time to calm herself down and deal with the grief... so, I let her be... she'll be back...

(hopefully, soon😡)

He flogged him mercilessly. Yes. So what if he raised him. Soldiers are raised to lay their lives for their masters. This was the outlook then. Why, even today the bodyguards and black cats are trained to sacrifice their lives for the leaders. And why, soldiers of all ranks stay put in scorching heat and shivering cold and continued life peril for the citizens of the state, so that we eat sleep and work and have fun safely. But it is so bad that they don't get a hundredth of the recognition that the cricketers in India do, and sports people in general do over the world. And heroes - it is always filmstars. 😔

Does anyone today invite a soldier, even a recognised one with lots of medals to cut the ribbon in his new business/shop. Then what kind of value or importance do you expect a born Royal to attatch to a soldier's life 500 yrs ago? If he served him sincerely then it was his duty. If he swerved, it was betrayal. As simple as that.

Yes, the Shehzaade did value him personally and have a soft spot for AMK. But this scroll business and other developments have given it a different name - weakness. And the Shehzade caved in to his insecurities and wanted to show who the boss was.

We find it inhuman as AMK is the protagonist of the story. We are attached to him and his Sahiba. If it were any remote character that got the barbed whip treatment we wouldn't have minded this much.

If you were a resident of Chittor, you would also call my Jalal cruel, cruel, cruel. 😭 You would want to tear out every page of history that calls him benevolent, kind, wise, goodwill seeker, diplomat and The Great. 😒What you see depends on where you look at from. 🤓

>>>>>The unsung heroes- I do have the highest respect for them.👏

But the real Akbar - judgement reserved.😊

Chapter 52.

The story develops thus...

The author has presented us the latest chapter

With details of the 17th century Moghul torture

The punishment unfortunately our protagonist had to bear

For the crime of marrying a Hindu girl he loved so dear.

The readers expected a silver lining the chapter would reveal

After our lead pairs suffered humiliation of a great deal

The story was so powerful that the readers got involved

In the lives of them ,and wished their problem quickly be solved..

The scene opens with Shehzaade in dilemma

Ustaad his friend once, now has become an anathema

He had basked under the shade he gave like a tree

'Whether to punish him or let him go free?'

"Is he lenient towards the Hindus ?"The Advisor is alert

He knows well how to make the Shehzaade get hurt,

The points raised by the Advisor, the Prince goes through

He finally takes a decision as to what he should do..

She, on her part, suffers further humiliation

Her belongings were checked , damaged and thrown

How the author described her reaction in her style!

'She dressed up the anguish on her features with a smile..'

Though both of them physically separated,

He's in her thoughts and she is in his embedded

While he is looking for ways to be free from the prison

Comes a messenger from Manswar whom he asks for help in person

Now comes the time for flogging of the Ustaad

The Shehzaade took in his hands the job of the prison guard

Getting ready to nurse his crackled ego with haughtiness

Alas, by inflicting pain on the body so defenceless..

If it is heart wrenching even to read the passage

How it would be for the author who penned down the message..?

The cruel and barbaric act of the Shehzaade

Has dragged down his name in the Moghul history..

The author has promised that the lead pair will get some relief

And we are hopeful and her words we do believe

The pair have been thrown in the glowing fire blindfold

They will sure come out purified like the gold..

As the story progresses we find and admire

The author's style of writing soaring like a fire..

We thank her whole heartedly for her service

Which can never be repaid nor valued with a price..!

Karkuzhali.

Who can think of writing a simile like this?

' She let her gazes drop softly like a ribbon of silk

Landing on the ground beneath the Shehzaade's boot!..'

Another one..

'But like guilt on a dirty conscience, the blood stayed. Stuck in the nooks of his nails. Stuck between the webbing of his fingers. It just wouldn't go!'

God bless you Lashy!

KK.
