Chapter 55.

The Story angers us thus..

After expecting a rosy picture in the update

Alas, we got but the game played by the fate

As if the torture already inflicted on her is not enough

She gets from the Shehzadi , a punishment so rough

I wonder how the author managed to write

Describing the pathos, taking it to this height

We read the chapter with feelings mixed

But the incidents happening make us transfixed

I glean Periyamma didn't enjoy 55 too much either...

While fretting about the fate of him facing the death knell

She wonders why the Shehzadi visiting her prison cell

Her message to the Shehensha is the reason

That was considered as the act of treason

Yes... if you are a prisoner, getting in touch with the opposition and then getting caught... that is not going to be without consequences😕

She begs, "I want justice for him, he has done no wrong

Please ask him to spare his life, he is loyal to his master all along.."

The Shehzaadi who is no shade better than her husband

In response showered on her abuses in abundance

In the meanwhile the young maid is caught by the guards

While smuggling in the herbs and is brought to the yard

But smart as she is, informs her mistress through a riddle

As to where they are hidden, in words coined so very simple..

" Than the roses in the planter are her lips redder

" Than the knots of silk is her grace finer"

She gets the clue promptly, and starts making the concoction

Very cleverly, without giving rise to any suspicion

👍🏼

How will she succeed in her mission to meet him in his cell?

She needs the permission of the Prince for that as well..

'Ma Bhavani, why wouldn't you show us some mercy

Why wouldn't you recognise the sacrifices of so many? '

The thought of his miserable condition gave her the strength

To rise up and fight with perseverance and with full breath

She waits patiently for the prince at the gates of the Fort

And finally meets him after hours and hours of wait

Yes... when I was writing that part, it reminded me of kannagi

She argues for her husband as a brilliant advocate

Placing forth arguments to convince him and to placate

👏 again, that's what I thought too

She uses his birthday wish as the trump card to win

And succeeds in her quest to get entry into his prison..

The sight there is not enjoyable to the grief ridden wife

But consoles herself realizing that he still has life

👍🏼❤️ where there's life there's hope

The reader's sigh of relief is disturbed by the villain

Who is none other than the Ex General ,a reptilian

Well, what the future has in store for the lead pair

We can somewhat guess, our hopes being vested on her

Despite the troubles the lead characters face and juggle

We feel that they have reached the end of the dark tunnel

And hope they sure will see the light of the day

We pray that this will happen without any delay..

We have to wait and see how the author has planned

To take us along with her hand in hand..

Beautiful Periyamma... it might be me, but these set of verses seemed to flow almost effortlessly... and were rich with emotion🤗
