MEDICINE TO SAHIB CHECK

THAT WAS ALL WE WANTED AUTHOR SAHIBA

>>>>😆

That's why I did tell you after the last update that all good things will come!

AND LOOK WHAT ELSE YOU GAVE US

HEERA ABLE TO ADMINISTER THE FIRST DOSE ALONG WITH THE FOOD DESPITE KHALIL

>>> Pitting Heera's brains against Khalil's brains... we know who the winner shall be!😉

FURTHER MEDICINE TO SAHIB

She was 'on the lookout' for a suitable carrier for the rest of her medicines anyway (someone she could trust)- most possibly a prison guard because they'll be the ones who can mix some medicine in the prisoners' food... hence...

'Sahiba... Sahiba...'

It was the second time that his voice had yanked her out of a trance. And somehow, the interruption left her awash with a sense of relief this time too.

(^^^ The relief here was because her instincts told her this might be the carrier she was looking for... even earlier on, her instincts had kicked in that this man was good, didn't have spite in him... and that he might help them out... of course, her trust got cemented once she spoke to him... which is why she wanted to know the 'real' reason why he was helping them before entrusting something so important to him)😊

Nevertheless, now that she could trust him, HE would be the man they'd been on the lookout for.

SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF SAHIB

SCROLL WORK PROCEEDING SMOOTHLY

Yup... again Khan Sahib's instincts here... he knew Tejraj was good, he was extremely educated and would know how to approach/who to approach etc,... plus being the cousin of Mahendar meant his words might carry greater impact!

And he was right again...

though it took Bindiya's sacrifice to get Tejraj to take one long look in the mirror and go 'What am I doing?'

MAHENDERS PEOPLE CANNOT LOCATE TEJRAJ 😉

He knows his life is in danger

TEJRAJ FULL ON IN SUPPORT OF SAHIB 😭

Why crying da? He's met Durga... has always admired her as a human, as a Rajput woman.. it must be killing him everyday to be on the side of a man who cheated her so badly.. .and this is his prayaschith!

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT GIFT TO US

SAHIB ACTUALLY FEELING HEALTHY 😲 AND SITTING UP ON HIS OWN 😲😲AND ASKING FOR FOOD AND BATH 😲😲😲

Dinka chika... and with the pain gone, he is able to reclaim his identity... i.e. swiftly return to using that unparalleled wit/wisdom tucked inside that handsome head of his too! 😉

TELL ME I AM NOT HALLUCINATING 😆

Nope dear you aren't... Your Sahib is back!😉

SHUKRIYA KARAM MEHERBAANI 🤗

The young lady could almost picture the smirk on his face as he conjured up those wisecracks about her Khan Sahib. Prankster! 'You remind me of someone we know...'

Can anyone guess whom the someone is, Heera was referring to here? When she interacts with the NSS guard? 😉

>>> Azeez ( prankster) ! 🤔

'Are you implying that I'm AFRAID to fight the USTAAD? I am a reputed warrior... a skilled swordsman... as an uncrowned leader of the Hindus, when I walk into the arena, I want the crowds to be left spellbound!' The meanest glare flashed in his handsomely ambitious eyes 'THAT and that alone is the reason I practise so hard!'

Is this underlined line by Mahendar true? 😉

>>> I don't think so ! 🤔

Ofcourse I agree he is skilled swordsman and great warrior!

For that... he is too proud of himself for that .

False arrogance in his nature... and he think so high of himself!

He treated other people's lowly if they all not his side...example Tejraj!

Infact... if not for his benefit...he also thought Durga and Heera...not his level!

Just like his parents...

May be now he doesn't want to practice with other because he think them ... not his own level!

Now his own conscious mocking him... spending sleepless nights... he is just frustrated and irritated...and don't want to interact much!🤔

>>> False. He's afraid of Ustaad. He wanted to tell everyone including himself that he's not afraid of him.

first one is right.. 👍🏼

But second one... there is a very telling reason he is practising hard... the very reason why he protests louder than he should😉

Congratulations Lashy di for new thread and baisas for new home😃🤗

Hi Tania... 🤗

Am glad i logged in today thanks Kawsi di for giving a link🤗

I should put up the link🤔... it was 2:30 by the time I finished posting the update... so.. 😳

Okay coming on the chapter, i loved every single word, emotion you wrote and described. Though at start i got little emotional but with every passing moment i was jumping with happiness

Really? Awww I am so so so glad, Tania

Heera met her Sahib: ❤️aww just loved it, loved that how even at their lowest they are thinking about each other's welfare, she gave him medicine, loved how she was trying to stay strong and give her strength to him.

Yes... they are soulmates na... every living breath they take for one another!

Khalil:😡 hated him as even after destroying everything even when he is locked he has not mended his ways but i know one thing that howmuch strong the villan is hero is always a step ahead

Of course, he wouldn't mend his ways... even Shehzaade and Mahendar would have an epiphany... but not Khalil! Never...

Mahendra:😡 I hate him from starting as everytime i read about him i used to get a gut feeling that something is wrong with him even you know it. So even now he is not able to sleep😃 and he practicing more and more okay am happy as i know excess of everything is dangerous. He will tire himself physically upto the time of duel while he is tired mentally too

Yes... we can see as the time goes that he is slowly shrivelling... his peace is lost, his health is getting spoilt too and he's nowhere the prince he once was... though he's trying hard to put on a mask - even to himself - that he is!

Tajendra: Okay so his conscience brought him on Heera's side. I loved how he is trying to help. Glad that he was not found by men of Mahendra

You made Tejraj as Tajendar😆

As I'd mentioned earlier, Durga's death and his cousin's involvement has always been eating him... he was for the whole 'Hindutva' movement and reclaiming power back from Mughals... he was even ok using Parnagarh for it... but not ok with the way Durga was sold off and then ruined!

Guard : 👏 His efforts and his help is selfless i just loved how he tried to help Heera by distracting jailor or else she would have been caught, okay so he was wise enough to know the value durga baisas's ring held for Heera😳

Yes... he's helped them a lot... after all, Ustaad has always been like a 'superhero' for him... possibly during his early teens heard about the tales of the phantom archer's aim and his ways/wits... he must've been in awe... and now that he's finally got the chance to be with him (by a stroke of fate)... he wants to help them in his own way... he's embarrassed to admit it to the Ustaad though, so he asks Heera not to say it aloud! 😆

Okay di i loved the update. Others might be getting from rich people like Khalil and Mahendra but our Heera and Khan sahib is getting help from people who are loyal, may not be rich but their help is selfless something which cannot be bought with money.

The first one can always run out... the second one cannot...

which is why something as little and unexpected as Tejraj coming to their aid with those royal scrolls (and his natural skills at literacy/language) has arrived at such a time - and this, even though Akbar actually kidnapped and threatened his friend... but in the end normal/good people can sense the good from the bad!😳

Khan sahib sat, okay i was worried what if khalil get to know and mix something in his food with the help of jailor but was happy and loved how Akbar took guard in confidence and ask him to keep it a secret❤️

😭 Apaaa... anymore and his body wouldn't be able to take it!

Last but not least though the work has finished but am busy cleaning and sleeping😆😆

😆

But i miss you baisas. Love you Lashy di for such a beautiful update and i dint even realised it was time for update😆😆 And when i saw it today i got surprised

Thanks a ton, dearie... and yes do drop in at least once a day if you can... miss you here! 🤗

And for Harka

Totally agree!

How much she handled after she was broken... ufff

>>> I am happy in real after reading heera and not so spiteful guard interaction!

My heart filled with sudden pride and eyes filled with happy tears ! 😭

Everything is Imaginary ... But I felt everything like real ! 😊

You Know I am so proud of you !😳

> Yes... I absolutely enjoyed writing that part between Heera and NSS guard ❤️ I think it's that unexpected gesture of kindness that got Heera to break down too... she wore this strong armour all through... because she was meant to be fighting devils... when she met a good soul, unexpectedly, and the armour didn't need to be there...she was exposed... her vulnerability came through and she broke down

When such extent of negativity happens to us, sometimes one unexpected act of kindness makes us emotional

>>> And I enjoyed reading it ! 😳

T.H.E. U.S.T.A.A.D is back! 🥳 👏

The moment that we were waiting for- to witness the resurgence of this great warrior- finally arrived in C56.👍🏼

But as usual, the moments in the cell before that first morsel was fed to AMK , were as nerve-wracking as they could get.

I was trying very hard to suppress my sense of dread reading the lines about Heera's fingers tingling with a strange sensation just before the jailor arrived.

Thank God for the not-so-spiteful guard! An angel in disguise , he surely is.

From then on, you kept on throwing lifelines strong enough to hoist them all up to safety from this quicksand- and how ! Thank you , dear author!🤗

We all felt what you wanted us to feel in this update, Lashy Sahiba- the tears, the pain, the hopelessness and finally the light at the end of the tunnel - as in every update that you gift us.

We can breathe a huge sigh of relief that things are moving in a positive direction from all fronts!

Thank you for an exhilarating and gripping chapter , Sahiba.🤗

Is that our not-so-spiteful guard in the picture? The diamond ring he refused but thank you for honouring him with this portrait!👍🏼
