I HAVE NO WORDS LASHY, AFTER READING THIS UPDATE, BUT THIS POEM WRITTEN BY ME, WILL TELL YOU MY STATE OF MIND

HAR BAAR TUMHARI YE KATHA MERE HRIDAY KO CHHOO KAR JAATI THHI

VISMIT HOKAR PADHTI THHI MAIN, AUR MAGAN HO KAR RAH JAATI THHI

(Every time I read your story, it touched my heart. I would read on in awe and would end up getting lost in it)

GAATHA YE VEERTA, NISHTHA KI, PREM RAS MEIN BHIGO JAATI THHI

AANSOO BHI BEHTE THHE MAGAR, EK AAS ZAROOR RAH JAATI THHI

(This tale of valor and loyalty, always managed to drench me in love. My tears would flow, but a glimmer of hope always remained)

PREM KA WO VISHAAL SWAROOP MAN KO AISE SEHLATA THHA

BHEESHAN BHOOKAMP SEHKAR BHI WO HAMARA HRIDAY BEHLATA THHA

(The beacon of love caressed my heart ever so wonderfully. He would face the fiercest of upheavals, yet please my heart)

UNKI LEELAAYEIN PREM BHARI MERE JEEVAN MEIN KHUSHIYAAN LATI THHI

UNKE HANSI KE, MILAN KE SAPNON SE, RAATEIN MERI BHAR JAATI THHI

(Their sweet acts, filled with love, brought immense joy into my life. Dreams of their laughter and togetherness filled my nights with joy)

USI HRIDAY PAR AAJ HUA HAI PRAHAAR NOKEELE CHAABUK SE

RAKT KE AANSOO NIKAL RAHE HAIN US BECHAARE PREMAL BAAHVUK SE

(It is this very heart of mine that has been whipped today with a barbed whip! My eyes bleed tears of blood and so does my loving overwhelmed heart)

PEEDA KI EK ASEEM SURANG MERE AAKHON KO DIKHTI HAI

NA KHUSHI NA HANSI NA KOI AASHA, AB BAAKI BAS EK RIKTI HAI

(My eyes are able to sense only an abyss of pain ahead. There is no joy, no smiles and no hope. All there remains is an empty space)

EK KHAALI PAN EK SANNAATA, RAH GAYA BAS YEHI BAAKI HAI

JAHAN POORE NAGAR KA KOLAAHAL THHA, AB WAHAN SIRF EKAAKI HAI

(There is a vacuum, a silence; and that's just what is now left. Where there was the din of a whole town, now there exists only loneliness)

Will come back with detailed comments later, Lashy, after I manage to read it again. Many thanks for the note that you've appended along with the chapter

GOOD MORNING DEAR AUTHOR

A STUNNED SILENCE 😭

WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE UPDATE HAS MADE US ALL SPEECHLESS 😭

I REALLY LOVED THE POEM AT THE END - GUT WRENCHING AND HEART TUGGING IN NO SMALL MEASURE

IT ECHOES MY SENTIMENTS TOO - MY VYATHA OR PAIN AT SEEING SAHIB BEING MAULED THUS BY A SPINELESS, DERANGED NAPUNSAK

AND MY VILAAP OR MOURNING AT THE OMINOUS DARKNESS OF THE DUNGEONS, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE PENETRATED MY BEING

IF MY CURSES OR OUR COLLECTIVE CURSES HAD ANY EFFECT AT ALL, FAROOQ SAHIB WOULD BE LYING DEAD BY NOW - TORCHERED IN WAYS THAT NO ONE CAN EVEN IMAGINE, MAULED IN WAYS THAT THE SHAHIB'S SINISTER MAULING WOULD SEEM LIKE ITS NOTHING

BUT OF COURSE THEY DONT 😕

AND WHAT DO I EVEN SAY ABOUT THE HUZOOR😡 HIS PERSONA SEEMS TO HAVE UNDERGONE A MIND BLOWING METAMORPHOSIS...

HIS SYMPTOMS AND ACTION CLEARLY POINT OUT THAT HE HAS BECOME COMPLETELY DERANGED...

THE FIRST SCENE WAS BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN...THE WAR WITHIN HIM...HIS JEKYLL AND HYDE CHARACTER...

WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS THE USTAAD WHO KEEPS THE HUZOOR SAFE BY VARIOUS MEANS...AND I GUESS TILL TODAY, A LARGE PART OF THE HUZOOR'S CONFIDENCE, HIS POWER, HIS SENSE OF JUDGEMENT...ALL CAME FROM THE USTAAD...AND NOW THAT THE PROTECTIVE LAYER IS NOT THERE WHAT REMAINS IS A DESPICABLE AND DISGUSTING PERSON, WHO FEARS FOR HIS LIFE AT EVERY STEP, WHO REFUSES TO SEE THE TRUTH EVEN WHEN IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, AND A PERSON WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE MERCILESSLY SWAYED BY SELFISH BRUTES...EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS THEIR REALITY

FOR THE HUZOOR, THE LEGACY OF THE USTAAD MEANT A LOT MOR THAN JUST PROTECTION...AND ALAS...HE HAS LOST IT...EVERY BIT OF IT

THE SCENE WITH HEERA WAS 😭 HER ANGER, HER FEAR, HER DESPARATION, HER GUILT... WAS SUPERBLY BROUGHT OUT.

TEJRAJ WAS THE ONLY SILVER LINING I GUESS...OUR HOPES ARE PINNED ON HIM...ALONG WITH THE TRIO...

I COULD FEEL EACH OF THE 40 LASHES ON MY OWN PERSON...😭 SAHIB HAS ADMITTED THAT HE TOO IS HUMAN...AND TO ME, THIS POINT IS PROVED TODAY, IN THE MOST BLOOD CURDLING, CRUDE MANNER POSSIBLE

P S - IS THE SHEHZAADE RETHINKING THE DUEL??? COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THAT CLEARLY...

Oh I spent an hour on it and wasn't satisfied! 😕 Thanks Lavanya for putting my mind at ease! 🤗

IT ECHOES MY SENTIMENTS TOO - MY VYATHA OR PAIN AT SEEING SAHIB BEING MAULED THUS BY A SPINELESS, DERANGED NAPUNSAK

😔

AND MY VILAAP OR MOURNING AT THE OMINOUS DARKNESS OF THE DUNGEONS, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE PENETRATED MY BEING

😔 I can understand- that whole setting was so eerie!

IF MY CURSES OR OUR COLLECTIVE CURSES HAD ANY EFFECT AT ALL, FAROOQ SAHIB WOULD BE LYING DEAD BY NOW - TORCHERED IN WAYS THAT NO ONE CAN EVEN IMAGINE, MAULED IN WAYS THAT THE SHAHIB'S SINISTER MAULING WOULD SEEM LIKE ITS NOTHING

I hate him... more than anyone else! 🤢

BUT OF COURSE THEY DONT 😕

AND WHAT DO I EVEN SAY ABOUT THE HUZOOR😡 HIS PERSONA SEEMS TO HAVE UNDERGONE A MIND BLOWING METAMORPHOSIS...

Was it so surprising, Lavanya? He always did show signs of being unhinged... cutting a man's tongue for bringing him bad news is not normal... 😔
He had just enough conscience to keep him functioning normally... it could dangerously tip anyway!

HIS SYMPTOMS AND ACTION CLEARLY POINT OUT THAT HE HAS BECOME COMPLETELY DERANGED...

THE FIRST SCENE WAS BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN...THE WAR WITHIN HIM...HIS JEKYLL AND HYDE CHARACTER...
He would have been fairer... might have reduced the lashing but FS truly did a number in his head... the words he spoke are the biggest fear of ANY power-thirsty royal...even the kinder ones would've been maddened...and reacted harshly... and Shehzaade is extremely volatile!

WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS THE USTAAD WHO KEEPS THE HUZOOR SAFE BY VARIOUS MEANS...AND I GUESS TILL TODAY, A LARGE PART OF THE HUZOOR'S CONFIDENCE, HIS POWER, HIS SENSE OF JUDGEMENT...ALL CAME FROM THE USTAAD...AND NOW THAT THE PROTECTIVE LAYER IS NOT THERE WHAT REMAINS IS A DESPICABLE AND DISGUSTING PERSON, WHO FEARS FOR HIS LIFE AT EVERY STEP, WHO REFUSES TO SEE THE TRUTH EVEN WHEN IT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, AND A PERSON WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE MERCILESSLY SWAYED BY SELFISH BRUTES...EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS THEIR REALITY
FOR THE HUZOOR, THE LEGACY OF THE USTAAD MEANT A LOT MOR THAN JUST PROTECTION...AND ALAS...HE HAS LOST IT...EVERY BIT OF IT
So well said...👏 another angle is he is beginning to fear that the public sympathy is on Akbar' s side and that is a dangerous thing for any ruler-to-be!

THE SCENE WITH HEERA WAS 😭 HER ANGER, HER FEAR, HER DESPARATION, HER GUILT... WAS SUPERBLY BROUGHT OUT.
😭

TEJRAJ WAS THE ONLY SILVER LINING I GUESS...OUR HOPES ARE PINNED ON HIM...ALONG WITH THE TRIO...
Yes! 😭

I COULD FEEL EACH OF THE 40 LASHES ON MY OWN PERSON...😭 SAHIB HAS ADMITTED THAT HE TOO IS HUMAN...AND TO ME, THIS POINT IS PROVED TODAY, IN THE MOST BLOOD CURDLING, CRUDE MANNER POSSIBLE
It was such a painful scene to write...wanted to go hug hum...especially at the part when he tells that prison guard with a soft smile that he'd teach him to aim anyway...made me feel so sorry for him because I knew what was to come!

P S - IS THE SHEHZAADE RETHINKING THE DUEL??? COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THAT CLEARLY...

He's unclear about it too...because one can't say how Akbar Will be after 14 days...if he manages to stagger up and into the arena, the duel will go on.. (obviously, with AMK being killed soon in the arena)
If not, Akbar Will die here in the prison and the duel might be cancelled altogether .. either way, Shehzaade will devise other means to get rid of Mahendar and Khalil...
