The blinking signal that made us 'oooh' in chapter 52 was already mentioned. The internal conflicts before AMK being Ustaad was revealed all make a lot more sense. So many subtle hints here and there. The story is more interesting on re-read.😳


Thanks da 😳 Very encouraging to hear that!

Chapter 1

Kudos To the author for it's marvelous Job
of giving it's 100 percent effort in giving detail 👍🏼

hmm so A prince of empire wish to have a land
back which he can't because the Emperor had
given his word to the late Owner of Land.

By Prince Irritation I was sure he is not going
to step back from it's desire for the land but
the turn of event a news of issued a written Scroll
By royal Make him bit Back for sure not bad 😉

'That darned record-keeper will get his due!'
poor recorder will suffer later for sure 🤣
I can see that's coming by the way he
had thought about it.

so this is not about a mere land it's about the
treasure hidden in the soil of land in the form of
trove of rich iron ores. that's make sense for me
or else why will A Prince will be behind a mere land😉

Again it had another reason to avenge good going
Prince I can see you will be doomed by this😉

Anger greed And Hurried decision and support of
Wrong people by all side always lead person to
It's distraction now the name Khalil itself
make me think it's not going to be good person

And I was not wrong in my view either good Author
very good as I hate to be wrong every time 👍🏼
Khalil was a general whose reputation for
terror petrified even the greatest of soldiers.
Be it a battlefield or the palace grounds,
not a single enemy had ever been left
standing alive. No wonder then that
this warrior had been solely responsible
for saving his master's life more times
than one could count.

well fear is the best weapon for sure
and it's good if enemy fear you but
having a reputation that terrified even
closed one seems bit of to me but nevertheless
that's how a Soldier should be so the description
about this men don't make me hate him yet 😊

Still I am having gut feeling I will hate him
later for sure reason I don't know 😉

Whether bought, brought, stolen or snatched,

the prince was going to get his hands on this

farmaan, BEFORE it could reach the court.

that's very evil of Prince to do this but it's starter of
Destiny game or Shall I say Author Wonderful plot of Story 😉


hmm so a young heiress is being extremely upset over

the turn of event in her life that ever people are there

to comfort her she choose to be mum


But because its prime occupants were two
ladies - beautiful young ladies, of noble blood.

two ladies don't know about them but the
description itself made me Mesmerised
how I wish i could have a real look at them
boys and there devil mind 🤣

'It is difficult to believe that the ladies have
continued governing their people quite well,
despite the demise of their father four years
ago.' 'Yes... but it also sounds strange that
their small community regard them as
Goddesses... even their father didn't enjoy
this sort of respect!'

why everyone think women are less than other
come on they are far better then any men
it will be not wrong if I say they are superior
in everything and when they can give respect
then why can't they get it back by others to
when men can be respected as lord then why not
women as goddess 🤔

Despite being seated under a makeshift
canopy in the midst of guards and behind
a sheer yellow veil, Durga Bai sat noticeably
tall and proud - much like the head of a clan
should.

Ahaan being not only the center of Attention
for not there names but for there beauty and graceful
hold on there pride as well to good 😉
Maybe her condition may hurtful to the ego of entire men
community but i don't see anything wrong in it 😊
She have only two priority her subject of Panagarh on
whom many people having evil eye on
and second her Little Sister who is her responsibility after
they lost there Parents and like a true Guardian and Hire
She put the condition which can keep everything on
it's place like she handle it. then there is nothing wrong 👍🏼

'No beauty or grace is worth all that attitude...
especially not for a 17 year old spinster with no
father, no title and barely a few lands to her name'
they huffed, changing tune by the end of the discussions.

oh so all the So called attitude is because
they are fatherless and they are little girls
huh such a orthodox people.😡

honesty and charm in her terms,
that he had accepted her conditions
and then surprised everyone by taking it
a step further too.

The man was indeed blessed with it all -
a physique so handsome, a manner so
dignified and features so well-defined.

Stubborn head dignified kind person with
good looks even at the 18 age Quite interesting
but but no one do anything without any reason
I have gut feeling there is something odd About
the Prince but it's Seems Rajput and they are
famous for there Loyal Kind Brave Stubborn
nature So don't seems to have doubt on him yet😊

and all because he didn't want to be termed as
'The merchant who'd publicly lost to a lady'!

that Durga Bai was beaming victoriously within
the secure confines of her veil. By toying with their
egos, she had just rid herself of the toughest competitor.

Seems Like Ego of Clash the new men come to buy horse
seems sop flat or quite stubborn to have the horse
on which Durga Sahiba was trying hand on good going
i loved it allot 👍🏼

Awe so bad Durga Sahiba lost I didn't wanted it 😔

Harka Sahiba Durga Sahiba Quite lovely name of
Such a lovely girls beauty with brain yet wise and kind
heart.

The well displayed each emotion of person
not to forget the detail given of place and each
antics of action good Awesome Job 👍🏼

Chapter 2

'Are you trying to imply that we are mean?
Or that we have tricked you?'

He didn't give her the benefit of an answer,

instigating her temper further

'Neither are we mean people... nor do we

trick others. If anything, YOU are the one

being mean now... and you can tell your

'Sahib' I said that!'

'I implied nothing of the sort...' his nostrils

flared up 'Mind your tongue...'


Being So sarcastic are we the but it's fun to
see a bit entertaining talk this is very real to
often we people do. These girls seems quite
hot temper Bindiya specially 🤣

'S... she should not have started it... calling
my Sahib and I names... referring to us as 'mean'!'

in trouble Are we good going chap see the time and place
then get in fight it's not like always the luck will
favor you now he is surrounded poor guy🤣

Not bad Harka Sahiba definitely not so big
but she is Good enough to handle everything
calmly I am impressed 👍🏼
no need to show physical power on every matter
specially where words can do better work then
Weapon I am in still on learning process of this
line spoken by myself 🤣

'We Hindus are not respected now...'
somehow, their words didn't sound as
convincing as they'd wanted

'We are not treated like we were during
Shehenshah Jalal-ud-din Mohammed
Akbar's era ...or even during Shehenshah
Jahangir's era...'

well emperor change view change time change
of course people and there way of action will
be change but Respect Trust and love is not
something to give in charity on the basis of
Gender religion caste Power and post and Name
as it's should be earned by character and work.😊

Alas even knowing this people don't act on this
that's the reason people suffer from many things
on the basis Of caste Religion beliefs power name
and Post.😔

The maid had rehearsed a long list of clarifications,
but from her mistress' skeptical frown it soon became
clear that none of it would work. So, she bit her lip
sheepishly and said what she knew was expected of
her 'I am sorry baisa... I shall learn to discipline my
temper henceforth...'
🤣
that's the best thing to do when you know none
of your words and act or explanation going to work
try to back out and give in the demand gracefully
you will never suffer Think before doing or saying
anything still not then know where you have
to let you guard down at least🤣

Tell us about him... please baisa...'

'Was he tall?'

'How did his voice sound?'

'What about his colour? Was he fair? Or, dark?'

'Which state did he belong to?' Was he

a prince or a soldier?'

'Hmmm...' 'Hmmm...' she pretended

to muse, and then did nothing but blink

her eyelashes flirtatiously - testing the limits

of their patience as she did so

'You've hummed and hawed enough, baisa...'

'Stop tormenting us this way...'

uff this is Like How we ask our friends when he tell he

got to caught attention of his crush and when he start

trying to create suspense we actually don't say by tongue but

by hands then 🤣


'All our taxes are paid on time... all Mughal

laws are followed... the mansion and the employees

are our own... the surrounding lands are a gift

from the Emperor himself... and yet, Shehzade is unhappy...'


that's why I said it's very cruel of Prince to do any bad to them

just for avenging the insult he go through by his father

and for his greed of those land These Yound hiress are being

loyal and very much honest to him still he 😡

The young Kunwar shook his head, not too

convinced despite the positivity in her

spirit 'Durga... this is such a dangerous venture...'

'I know...'

'I strongly advice you against it!'


'I wholeheartedly agree Kunwarsa... but what

can be done to one who's so adamant?'


awe caring and very much worried aren't we

I like this that how a men should be but one

thing I don't get what wrong it will go if

Durga Sahiba take help of His Troop she can

go herself but she can take his men with her

can't she.

'You have to stay back and take care of all this when I'm gone!'

a diamond ring and a small urn of ashes -

precious artefacts that not too long ago

formed the very identity and essence of Durga Bai

oh Jesus Christ what went wrong why this line

did that Greedy egoistic prince get done what he wish for oh

no so this was both Sisters last meeting till Durga Sahiba left

for the dangerous mission herself 😲

this was so unexpected but somehow I had

Idea something worse going to happen


Excellent work Author had done on this

No matter what i say words are less to praise

for the Fantastic job of author 👍🏼.

HIDING BEHIND
A
STRANGER
A Historical Romance by Lashy.
(Abridged)
Part 1. The Tornado.

Chapter 11.
Ustaad- Who?


The Haveli, Aidabad...

'Ai Khuda... what a long day it's been!'

A steady breath escaped his lips, as he stood still - as still as the darkness around him. Till an odd gust of wind barged in through the large window to his left, and brought with it a distant sound of a chirping cricket.

Resting his forearms upon the dresser thereafter, he viewed the contents of a large brass bowl - chilled water infused with scents of sandalwood-musk. However, instead of taking his tunic off, splashing his face with a few handfuls, and be done with the routine nightly ritual, he glanced up. At the mirror hanging in front.


The reflection showed the face of a young man, who often sought as his loyal bedtime companion, the black shadows of midnight - since this young man had learnt the hard way that 'sleep' would cheat him often, leaving him abandoned on many-a-night.

Tonight was possibly going to be no different.

Additionally, there were plenty of issues to keep him awake too. The day had been quite an erratic one - even by his standards. At first, the accident. Followed by, the theft. Then, Bahadur's surgery. The feast. Problems with the Hakim. And plenty more to list.

Yet, for whatever reason, that face-in-the-mirror was not as worn out as it should be. It appeared to possess a strange sense of serenity.

'Serenity?' he mused at his odd choice of word, as he took his hand to the top knot of the red silk tunic - the one he'd worn for the feast.

He undid the first knot. And then the second, revealing a taut chest that possibly cradled a heart somewhere in it. This was a part of him that'd felt quite empty from within for many years now. So empty that it never let him enjoy any sense of 'serenity'. And definitely, never let him find a reason to smile.

Yet somehow, today, he'd been tempted to smile. Not once, but twice.

'Could you possibly sing him a song, then Khan Sahib? To try and lull it into a slumber... so I might start the treatment?'

Was a woman's innocent smile always this intoxicating? And this contagious?


Despite being sick and injured, it was a strong beast, heavier than five grown men, and mighty stubborn too. It did not like the smell of that strange medicinal powder, and would not touch it - how much ever they tried!...

* * * * * *

This morning in the Stables...

'Does Bahadur like music?' Heera asked softly..

'Huh?' Akbar huffed with a shrug 'Maybe...'

'Could you possibly sing him a song, then Khan Sahib?' her tone sounded sincere 'To try and lull it into a slumber... so I might start the treatment?'

'Absolutely not... ' the flustered young man was about to protest - so engrossed had he been in the exhausting exercise that he'd initially failed to see her suggestion for what it was - a joke.

Till she broke out into a soft fit of giggles.

Akbar looked up with a piercing stare, to defy the lady who was amusing herself at his expense. But the confrontation that followed, was not the kind of confrontation he'd set out to achieve.

Because it was a trap - and he'd fallen right into it.

The young man hadn't stared in her direction all along - mainly out of respect, but also to dodge those enticing gazes of hers - which'd kept him immune to her charms.

Till he met the marvel that were her smiles. Heard the music that were her giggles. And witnessed the bewitchingly feminine manner with which she bit down upon her tender lips.

Never had he caught her smiling before - or he would have known to steer clear of this trap. For, it was an addicting sight. A sight, which the mind wanted another glimpse of. And another. And another. Till the viewer was thoroughly sucked in...

...

* * * * * *

'What are you doing, Akbar?' his false sense of peace abruptly disturbed, the young man grit his teeth in anger and threw a handful of water on himself. The cold had to hit his face. He HAD to come to his senses now. He was part of an ugly imperfect world, it was absurd to let his thoughts wander towards 'perfection'. He threw another handful. And another. And another, till his lungs cried for a burst of air.

His conscience had begun taunting him, slowly rehashing incidents from all of last week!

'What have you been doing?' it seemed to ask 'Don't you realise that the ground you're treading on, is extremely risky? One step more, and you'll fall... worse, you'll pull her down with you. The Sahiba doesn't know the truth... that's why she's breaking out into fits of innocent giggles... and inviting you to a luncheon... but YOU are aware of the truth, aren't you? Then, why are you indulging her smiles...' he heaved a few more dashes of water on his face - possibly so the rough reminders would hit home harder 'At first, you returned the 4 dams because you did not want her money... fine... but why carry on with the conversations thereafter... what's this never ending fascination with her vision and skills about... why the need to communicate in Marwari... or to talk about your charity work? And the conversations don't even end there... so, what are you trying to prove, Akbar Khan? And, to WHOM?'

But was the blame all his? Was it his fault alone? For, Allah knew he'd strived to keep away from her, every step of the way. Yet, fate or necessity had brought them face-to-face, over and over again.

On all of those occasions, he'd utilised his bluntness and arrogance to spurn her. But at every stage, he'd ultimately given in - it was either her finesse or her innate beauty that would get him to do so. And now, here he was, standing in front of a mirror, asking his reflection questions, in the middle of the night.

'Ridiculous!' his conscience jolted him out of the lull 'It IS your fault... you shouldn't have allowed it get to this... because it's YOUR decision to adopt a lifestyle so dangerous, that it has no place for women in it... and, why are you bridging gaps now... that too, with THIS Sahiba, out of all ladies! What would you gain by knocking on this door now? Is it to find out if she holds the cure for this never-ending pain of yours? Even if she has the secret remedy, you'll never live to enjoy it... you'll die and get her killed too! So muster that adamant determination of yours... don't let your wall of resistance show cracks... you need to show discipline... fight temptation, now more than ever!'

'Yes... you're right!' hurling aside the towel, he grabbed a fresh cotton tunic from a trunk nearby and slipped it on 'I have to leave tomorrow morning to catch up on my work... wouldn't return to Aidabad for two days... hopefully, the Sahiba and her party would've left the haveli, before I get back!'



Battle Camp..


One large camp.

A group of 40 boisterous men.

A seemingly long half-an-hour had passed.

And yet, there was absolute stillness. No movement anywhere.

Except, of course, for the men at the centre - two of them to be precise.


Because the soldiers knew -

That their Huzoor, the Shehzaade, preferred it quiet when he was engaged in a game of cards.

Especially, when the card game being played was Ganjifa.


And all the more so, when one of his favourite opponents was part of the competition!

'Ustaad...' Shehzaade mulled under his breath, looking at the Wazir card sitting beside the Safed-shah card in his hand 'how do I win this round against you?' And in order to win the round, he had to figure out his opponent's winning cards and moves. So, he subtly glanced up - to see if he could guess from his competitor's expressions, what sort of a set he was holding.

Alas! As the prince had already anticipated, he'd have no luck. For, the man's dynamic eyes that could silently-command over entire regiments of trainees on any given day - gave away nothing now.

Testing his luck further, Shehzaade tried taking a peek at his opponent's hand. As expected, another futile pursuit. The clever manner in which the deck of cards had been tucked between the fingers meant no one would be able to steal a glimpse, any which way. How ironic that a pair of strong hands that were capable of crushing enemy skulls with brute force - were just as capable at handling a deck of precious Ganjifa cards with splendid tact.

Well, the man wasn't called an Ustaad, a 'Master', for no reason.

'I'll win this round...' the prince vowed.

He had to use the last trick he knew - a few clever mental calculations to figure out his odds at winning the game. So, while his mind started doing the maths, the sly man decided to buy some time by delving into idle chatter..

'Ustaad...' he spoke up, his authoritative tone dispelling the still air 'What is your opinion on the tribes up North? That war shows no sign of ending... and I'm running out of resources and ideas.'

'My opinion? Pardon my insolence, Huzoor...' he mused 'but isn't it true you want my opinion now, only so you can divert my concentration from the game!' The remark was polite, but the tone had an unmissable blunt edge to it.

'Ya Allah!' the prince laughed off the shrewd guesswork 'You KNOW I always value your opinions, don't you?'

Ustaad said nothing in reply for a moment.

And that telling moment was enough for the prince to sense that the man's earlier remark hadn't been made in jest.

Surprised by the scepticism, Shehzade put down his cards and slowly arched forward from the backrest - thus dragging down the light-hearted ambience in that camp to a sure death 'Value your opinions? Then, WHY do you think I've been calling you by your title 'Ustaad'?' he queried, returning the man's steady glances with firm glares 'Because, if the 'heir to the Mughal Empire', calls you by that title... everyone else... younger OR older to you... HAS to call you by that title too! Now that is the kind of regard I've showed, over the years... so do not repeat the mistake of bringing up this subject... next instance, I might not answer so patiently...'

'And I've always appreciated your gestures...'

'Then speak up... what's on your mind...'

'If you value my opinions so highly, why is Khalil still a free man?' Ustaad asked, without so much as batting an eyelid - something very few would've dared to do so, since this particular Shehzaade was notorious for being more ill-tempered and impulsive than anyone else in his family. Then again, unlike the others, Ustaad was never fearful of saying or doing what he believed in 'Khalil and his soldiers are turning into something we'd never stand for... something Islam never stands for!'

Shehzaade immediately raised a stern palm in response. And the rest of the members took the hint - that they must leave.

Thereafter, the remaining players at the table surrendered their cards and exited the tent, one by one.

Then, the soldiers followed suit.

Once they'd been left alone, the prince did something he generally never had the patience to do - decided to clarify his stance to the man, just this once 'I despise what Khalil's done... which is why, I punished him by removing him from this assignment... I banished him to Kabul, while I hid the fact that I'd already handed over the Parnagarh assignment... all this, despite the fact that he could've been winning wars for me here...' a sarcastic huff escaped his mouth 'whatever his flaws, Khalil still remains my most powerful general... take pride in what you've created, Ustaad... besides, most of your recruits have turned out to be fine soldiers, otherwise!'

'Pardon me Huzoor... but as a soldier of Islam, I cannot take pride in the fact that I mentored Khalil into something so powerful... the man's literally unstoppable now!'

'What more must I do? Have him imprisoned? Killed?' Shehzaade scoffed 'When I come to power, I will make laws... and punish all those who defy Islam... but at THIS point, I am in need of supporters... if I start punishing soldiers who've committed crimes, I'll be left with no men!' By the end of that declaration, he was nearly yelling. Swiftly realising that the subject was taking an unpleasant turn, he decided to shift the discussion in another direction - at least for a while 'Forget about all this for now... tell me, my dear friend... any news of the Farmaan yet?'

Following a tense pause, Ustaad placed his cards, facing down, on the table 'Not yet, Huzoor!'

'That darned Farmaan! Have the cursed fires of Hell swallowed it?' the prince grit down on his teeth, whelmed by a quiet surge of frustration 'Such a simple task... and yet, it's been eluding my best men...' it took him a few deep breaths and a few verses from the Quran, before he could return to his cold-composed self 'nevertheless... any news about the Sahiba?'

Ustaad's glances grew guarded.

'I mean... any news about the younger heiress, Harka Sahiba? Any updates... or thoughts on her?'

'Nothing much' he frowned, as his attention veered away from his Master's glares for the first time, and towards the tent flaps in the backdrop, to observe Mother Nature's own painting of a sunset oblivion beyond it.

ANY thoughts on her? Well, he had plenty. Plenty of news and updates too that he could convey if he wanted to, as part of idle talk. After all, he'd stumbled across quite a few small facts about her over the past two weeks, which they hadn't known about at the start...

'I am blind... actually, partially blind!'
