Chapter 3

Mining the valleys would destroy everything

we've worked hard for... the fields, the plantations,

the water, the homes, the hospital, the peace...

EVERYTHING! I'll never let that happen so long as I live!'

it was her vow till her last breath she will not let

anything to get destroy which is her responsibility

maybe that's why she was killed

'How was the security breached so quickly?

How did it happen so stealthily? All the men...

h... could they all be killed? N... no...please...

the women too? Even Maharaj kakasa? Ma

Jagdamba... please no...'

A traitor she is inside how can a troop come and do there job

so silently it's a job of traitor and a bit Well skills of those

who come to attack I am sure as myself on this 😡

But signs that she'd overlooked 'Oh God...'

she gripped her chest when she recognised

that even the barking had stopped 'They didn't

even spare the dogs!'

oh Jesus why they even killed mute pets who

can do no wrong to them maybe there voice can

be hurdle on there cowardly act so they sacrificed their life

to that's so so so cruel of them to do.

Khalil? The phantom? A murderer who masqueraded

as a soldier? A man so infamous for being ruthless that

even the Shehzade was intimidated by him? Everyone

had heard about the 'Khalil' - but no one who'd seen

him had lived to tell the tale!

then how all know how he is sorry I am not so fond

of staying serious all along that to for a novel I am reading

no offence to you author 😊

Jiji ran around the Haveli, with her eyes opened wide

Every trick uncanny, she may have tried

Every nook and cranny, she may have spied

But never did she find me, because I know how to hide!

not sure much but I again had pretty Idea she had some

plan up in her sharp mind she is not coward to run

so she make her men go but why this poem definitely Durga

Sahiba is not into playing some game when she surrounded by danger

is that some clue but for what the clue will be about.😕

that she stopped wondering how so many of

her guards had perished without much of a fight.

Yet, Durga bai decided that she wouldn't cower in fright.

Traitor job I am now damn sure it's many example we get

by our past that brave kind people got defeat by

unexpected attack from unexpected person

and Bloody traitors.😡

I knew it A brave warrior like Durga Sahiba

Will never step just because of fear of death 😎

Yet, Durga bai didn't cower in fright.

Not even when the leader of the pack,

the beastly 'Khalil', paced onward and

forced her to look him in the eye. Not

when his size dwarfed her profile. Or

his roars deafened her ears. Not even

when she knew her end was near.

I admire the bravery of Durga Sahiba even at the end

She didn't let her guard down 👏

but damn showing power on injured and alone person

aren't we bloody coward this Satan Khalil 😡

'Hand me the Farmaan...' he growled

'I will NOT give you the Farmaan, even if you take my life!'

What if I take your dignity and modesty instead?'

that's so so low and disgusting of him to say

He had got what he wanted later als still again I

reading the next part even i had been shaking in fury

if I had my hand on him then I may have

cut his body piece by piece and feed it dog

or burned him alive 😡

And the very thought of what he wanted -

the very notion of what horrors lay ahead,

debilitated her morale. Now too weak and

too wounded to protect herself, she wished

she had a blade to end her life just then.

But since she didn't, Durga bai, the once

proud heiress, was forced to relinquish

her ego and beg. She begged and pleaded

- not for her life, but for her modesty to be spared.

All in vain. His scowl didn't thaw one bit.

He had a reputation for being a 'savage'

and he apparently wanted to live up to it -

For, he took away the Farmaan,

Then, took away her modesty,

And finally, took away her life too.

what sin she committed to be killed in such a brutal way

at least she was warrior that Darn so Called Satan Khalil 😡

can give her the honor death a warrior deserve was this

Necessary for that men to attack on her dignity to 😡

this is so jesus This Khalil is despicable no offence

Author but i can't help on my words here.

'You sacrificed your life trying to defend

the Farmaan from those looters... from

that monster Khalil, who was depraved

enough to rape you before taking your life.

And I am fleeing Parnagarh without even

having waited for your ashes to cool...

without even giving you the kind of farewell,

a warrior deserves!'

she couldn't get the kind of death a warrior deserve

and you are worrying about the kind of farewell

a warrior deserve don't think about it Plan something

to avenge or do the unfinished job done by Your elder

sissy. that will be the best thing you will get ot do

for the sacrifices she had done aaah but again how

Harka Sahiba is no warrior she is Survivor

'It is because I don't want my sacrifice to go

in vain, that you must leave... your life is in

danger, Heera... we've both worked hard to

save the livelihoods of 400 families for so long...

risking your life now... dying at the hands of

those murderers... would simply be a waste

of our efforts! Hide first, seek help next...

you forget that your mind is a weapon stronger

than my sword... besides, this is what bapusa

wants too! Remember the message I sent you...

Never did she find me, because I know how to hide...'

oh that's not the only reason of this message i think

still it's seems quite sensible she wish her sister at the

end of her to stay safe aah The love she had for her

is quite praiseworthy even the plan seems quite

well hide and get help but who will help oh i forget

the prince can do it for her yes yes he can 😉

'Those murderers warned they'd be back for you

... and you're the only person standing in the way

of their ambitions!'

those son of Satan or satan themselves It's seems forget even

Satan to get defeat at the end 😡

because darkness can never overpower the light

anyway I Love to see how loyal the people were

and how much worried they were for her they want

to protect her and for that they send her off from

the place she lived her entire life it must be so

heart wrenching for her but it's needed for her

to listen to them for now

from a vague sighting of his riding shoe -

was its style. This traveler was a Mughal. And

an avid rider too.

now who is this stranger is this the stranger who will be

the protector or is he some danger in the form of stranger for

Young heiress Harka Sahiba already everyone guess he

is Mughal Well very much intriguing plot.👏

Well done Author for your such a wonderful

remarkable job in the novel 👏

Chapter 4

Another interval of nothingness passed, before Heera

heard his full-bodied Mughalain accent -

'This place is notorious for its bloodthirsty bandits!''

Aidabad...' the stranger stated, without even giving

the map a cursory glimpse 'About 2 kos Northeast'

'Oh! Are you sure?' kaka asked again, a question he

regretted straightaway - because all he got in response,

was a long glare.

But, he didn't. Instead, he had a claim to make -

'That would be 4 dams...'

what the hell is he trying to scare them of or what

uff this stranger seems egoistic and hot temper introvert

person and very much business freak but i can let it go

after all he is still quite handful for Harka Sahiba for now

first because of his arrival only all Bandits run away.

second he give them water which they are hell in need.

third he Let them know about the Place in scary way for sure

but it was fun 🤣

'You are being very mean...'

🤣

Everyone's attention fell upon the source

of that blunt comment - the regal palanquin

perched in the center of the group.

And there goes your promise, Bindiya!

And Bindiya was playing the 'heiress' -

only because the eager maid had promised

to keep a check on her emotions throughout

the journey. Yet, at the first signs of a problem,

the lady couldn't seem to stop speaking her mind!

oh Jesus this girl really short temper and very bold

but again it's fun and I can't disagree with her here

but again she should really been Silent here when

she was pretending to be an heiress here but it's

quite fun again 😊

A reality that plagued him with a lot of guilt.

The 16 year old heiress who'd always enjoyed

an elegant lifestyle in a splendid haveli was

now forcibly exiled into an unused guest house

of a tiny town. That too, after having lost all her

loved ones. And the fact that the gallant young

lady would not complain about any of it, was

what stung him most.

oh this was Quite Hard though but nothing can

be done when they are in bad situation so they shouldn't

feel to guilty for not be able to arrange comfortable place for

there stay still we can see the care and love they had for there

Heiress.😊

'

Never before have you let her be by herself...

and now, when it's unsafe, you let her stroll out alone?

He have valid point for sure it was not safe

for Harka Sahiba to be left alone.

It's because her state-of-mind is not well... that

the lady wants to be by herself for a while... and

I think she deserves at least that much now, don't

you think so

But Gauri to is not wrong either come on they can't

Just surround her all along when she is so much

Drown in the guilt for thinking She left her people

when Durga Sahiba told her to take care of them.

And the loss of Durga Sahiba her guardian her only

Family is to much for her to cope up with She can't cry

and let her emotion out front of Her attend ended and

Guard no matter how loyal loving and caring they are

So it's quite sensible for her to give a time to Harka Sahiba 😊

'When I know I have to protect everyone from a powerful

enemy like the Shehzade, whose men are out to murder me?

When the terrible manner in which they took your life

relentlessly haunts me? When I fear how deplorable

jijasa's condition would be? How am I supposed to

find peace when every step of my journey is plagued

with perils, like the illness that has befallen Mohan

banna and Daya banna?

Oh Jesus so many queries yet no answer yet

for her she is not warrior still she is the only

one who left to handle everything on her own

for now But her question her pain are so valid

and it's so heart wrenching to know as well Kudos

to you author you really had done wonderful job

in giving detail of Human emotion there suffering

in the form of word but what make me stunned

is the way she was thinking about everyone but her

not for once it's come how she will protect herself

from the danger which is after her this was so Nice😊

'What do you think you're doing?' his pitch echoed

like a roar, though he kept his tone low. And curt.

And deep. And thick. And dominant.

uff Seems Like luck is not to much favorable for her

she get in trouble so soon and that Egoistic stranger

why can't he be a bit calm

'I... I can't swim very well... there's nothing else to hold on to... and

I know I am too young to die!'

and very precious to let go the world you should have used

this Line to Author Again no offence I just couldn't help this

line cracked me up 🤣

'He IS the stranger...'

oh is he the one who give them water I should

have known it before nevertheless I know now🤣

her mind went back to the various paintings and books

on culture that she owned - trying to find a match

'Not a Mongol. Or a Turk...' she supposed 'Persia?

Yes that's it...he's Persian!'

so Mr Stranger seems Quite good looking

and foreign not bad but what amused me was in

troublesome time Harka Sahiba was judging his

look and trying to know what he is Turk or Persian 🤣

'Are you blind, or are you plain bizarre?'

men you are very rude and being mean for now

'So, you ARE bizarre!' he hissed, before indicating

towards a spot on the wall not far from where she

was standing 'Is that rope ladder not support enough

She is Bizarre or not you are fool for sure even Quite

arrogant about your look and Muscular power huh what

he think about her if she had saw the rope then Why she

will go on thinking him as her only Savior here now don't

tell me you thought her to be go flat on ever men she see

Anyway each chapter is intriguing and more interesting

then previous one really Awesome update this one as well 👏

Will not say that I left speechless because while reading

I did get to remark on few part😉 But must say the update

was Awesome👏

Chapter 5

No... I am not bizarre...' her features flaunted their

usual calmness, as she faced the Persian savior

'But, I am blind...' she paused 'Actually, I am partially

blind!'

Whattt the hell forget about the Mr Stranger Stunned

Expression and Emotion here I myself thought she didn't get to

see the rope because of darkness but oh my Jesus

you must be gotta kidding author partial Blind like really 😲

His young life had witnessed a lot, and he'd rarely

ever reacted with anything other than indifference

to all of it. Somehow though, a 16 year old's dignified

approach towards her disability and struggles, had

caught his apathy off guard!'

okay so now he is being kind cool to know but again it's

just out of pity then I don't appreciate much because

i hate it she is not a damsel in distress for me now to

she is courage's and very much Dignified girl but for now

It's Quite sensible and really fine for me to see him helping

her after all she need help anyway.

'By seeking some peace, you wanted to forget about

your problems briefly Heera... instead, a temporary

spell of distraction helped you achieve that!'

So true At least for quite troublesome time to She

get distracted by the Worse trouble of her life for time

being but for trying to get distracted by one trouble to get in

another trouble hardly make sense to me 😕

It is unrecognizable' he beamed widely 'It looks alive!'

hmm so the owner seems bit Happy by

the renovation of his house good 😊

'Ibrahim Mirza, Sayyid Baig, and Azeez Shah'

woo these name seems So royal and Quite cool must

say👍🏼

Oh... sahiba...' he tied his hands behind his back, like every

bit the gentleman he was 'The haveli that you're staying at...

the stables where your horses are parked... the canal from

which you just fetched your water... and the lands as far as

your eyes can see... belong to a very eminent horse merchant

called Akbar Mahmoud Khan...'

oh my Jesus don't tell me they are staying at the

place of the very same Stranger who had quite

deal with them for water if it is then it's going to be

a bit embarrassing for Harka Sahiba and her Attended 😉

But Again the name Seems Quite Intriguing as well

it's sound so cool 😉

'Of course, I am worried! He is scary and mean...'

Bindiya shut her mouth when she caught herself

uttering the forbidden word, again 'Sorry... I... I...

mean... I mean... despite being a Moghul, he was

blessed by God with such beauty... if only God had

given the man a kinder tongue too!'

🤣 oh Jesus this one is So much hilarious if

count then it will be fourth time she called Him mean

Now this girl still didn't learn did she 🤣 but

It was Quite entertaining part for sure 🤣

Hereby, I commence my narration

About a man, who by trade, was a businessman,

A deal he struck with the Lord in Heaven

And was bestowed with good looks in the bargain!

With features sharper than a sword's blade

And wet long locks of a deep brown shade,

His skin possessed the fairest of complexions

But in the mirror of his eyes, I saw a stormy reflection!

wow so Wonderful lines Not bad it's Quite Amazing

and very much well words are less to say more about it😊

However, if conversations about an unfamiliar merchant

- that too, a Mughal merchant - were the reason behind

that change, it spelled trouble.

Gauri Dhani Bindiya these Names are very nice

And Gauri She Seems Bit more sensible And Smart

then all but again she is not Chief maid for nothing

She had to be after all she is the head so she had to be

more composed and handful then others 😊

Fabulous 👏Update Author I am With each passing

Chapter getting speechless For sure to how to

praise your Master work for sure but you are

Excellent in this Job 👍🏼

Chapter 6

'You've been numb for days now... and this visit,

has left you shattered...I understand... but, it IS time

to regroup yourself... time to act!

''Kunwarsa... you are squandering your time here...'

'What!'

'The time we spend moaning our losses here, is time we lose...'

'Stop it!'

'Time that could have been used to achieve something valuable...'

'How dare you...'

'Time that could be used to finding the ill-bred murderers,

who committed this crime!'

The kunwarsa was on the verge of drawing his sword out,

when he perceived what his Senapati was trying to convey

well poor Prince his pain is quite understandable

He not only lost his Fiance but she was Brutally

snatched by him Murder in such a way that no one

deserved but again the wordings of people were

valid it's not time to cry but it's time to take action.👍🏼

'I will hunt down and kill them all.

'Khalil... and every single one of his men...

I'll MASSACRE them!'I will slaughter his men

just like they slaughtered my love...'

woo so the Prince is being back to his Royal Form

good going he better avenge for his Love Brutal Murder

by doing exactly the way he said and serve the justice

To her and her Sister Harka Sahiba 😉

the rice was more under cooked, coarse and over-spiced

than anything he'd ever tasted. In fact, after having been

spoiled by the exquisite culinary skills of their famed chef,

uff Did Chacha Jaan really had no idea how to cook or he😉

Poor Guard already they had rough path and now this

first I thought he deliberately did made bad food to avenge

the insult if I didn't recall this Prayer action done

by Azeez Ya Allah... please spare them!', as soon

Ibrahim Ask Him that he really going to make

food ' now it's entertaining again 🤣🤣

Basically, Khan Sahib is a Persian merchant...

has been running this business here for nearly

5 years now...

'No one knows anything about his family,

'I heard that they travel a lot... they visit auction

fairs...

'I learnt... that he has connections to the capital!

To the royal family!'

'He trades with the Emperor and his sons...

his horses adorn the royal stables...

Well He don't seems bad but the last line of him having

Connection with Capital I mean Royal make me thoughtful

isn't the Same Capitals Royal Harka Sahiba Is trying

to protect her people and herself what if he disclose this

to them What if it's Danger for them to even stay with

This Brave Egoistic yet Quite Short Hot tempered
Khan seems very Mysterious Even having clean Business

Profile of Being Horse trader 😕

That would be expected - especially, of a high-profile

businessman

but I think Harka Sahiba shouldn't Dismiss this Information

easily as nothing like she Did by Dismissing by her view

4 dams...' she saw the copper coin in her hands

Must belong to your Sahiba' he'd said with surety,

hadn't he? How could he have said that, unless...

The stranger had returned to her, whatever money

he'd charged for the water! '

oh Jesus this person is not only Mysterious

But interesting as well If he wish to return

the 4 Dams then why he as for it I Don't

understand his concept 😕

more ever Harka Sahiba Doubt is quite cool

How he knew Bindiya is not Sahiba but she

Is that just because he got to see she possessive

on coins when she had given to him or is because

of Bindiya Words😕

'Why would a man who trades with the royal family

... and one who regularly journeys up north, live so

far away from the capital?'

Why would such an eminent merchant live in a run-down

haveli... in a small town like Aidabad, so far away from

riches and splendor?'

Valid Point Harka Sahiba👍🏼 no one will like to do this

Unless the person had something else up under there

sleeve maybe a bit Dark evil Reasons for this or maybe

Just for Having peace I am not sure i can't think more

then this about this Issue 😕

Again with Please note the update

was Wonderful and very Nice I liked it allot

kudos to you Author again for your Wonderful

Job👏👏
