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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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😳

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.

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❤️

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

And for Harka

As always, Chellam... spot on

yes da... very much so... that is basically the simple reason, he has been practising for hours daily till his shoulders are now sore!

Durga comes in his dreams and tries to tell him 'Ustaad' is nearly dead

So does Senapati during the day...

but he wants to be his best,... because he is afraid.. he's heard such tales about the man.. that even if Ustaad is wounded, he is afraid of facing him... because he's afraid of dying - because this is not a battlefield where he'll receive glory na... this is a duel where he's fighting to hide his misdeeds/clear his name... what'll happen to Manswar if something happens to him, what will happen to his parents...

his conscience has been killing him from all corners!

>>> Yes... reasonable answer! 👍🏼

Thank you for explaining in detail! 😳

Your reasonings are all true too, Bindup... he is very 'image' conscious and wants to put his best foot forward in front of his Hindu supporters!

>>> Yes... but main reason is he is afraid of Ustaad and he just couldn't afford to losing and facing it ! 😊

1) T.H.E. U.S.T.A.A.D is back! 🥳 👏

When the NSS guard goes stock-still in awe as he sees the 'transformation' of sickly Akbar into warrior-Ustaad... it's the mentality of the Ustaad that he is referring to... the vindictiveness, the determination and the wouldn't-back-down attitude!

Physically, I don't know how far Akbar would be able to return to being the original warrior he was in 2 weeks.. but mentally, he's there... and we know that in any game, even the physical ones, it's the intelligent players with knack/tactic/knowledge and skill who end up having an upper hand... hence why Heera has been able to defeat the likes of Mahendar, Khalil and Shehzaade too!🥳

2) 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.

Why dear?😳 Why the dread? Do you realise that those tingles were actually Ma Bhavani's message to her? It came just after her prayer - she has always been portrayed as a blessed healer... as one gifted by the Goddess herself ... a miraculous physician... so after her most heartfelt prayer ever... it was the Goddess 'answering' her! Hence the line - Was it a reaction to the medicine? Was it her own nerves? Or, was it something else - that could not quite be explained?

Of course, the more practical reader can just attribute it to 'nerves' 😳

but you'll notice throughout the chapter... that whenever she prays or cries out 'Ma...'

Within the next moment, her prayer is answered...

She screams Ma give me strength, when she's unable to move AMK, her tears from desperation falling onto her husband, and that is when he awakens...

She prays for the efficacy of her medicine... and the mother answers back through those tingles 'You'll be successful my child'

She prays that she mustn't be caught, and the salt escapes the jailor's eye

She prays that the jailor must leave.. and that happens too

And an unexpected last wish too - she gets to watch her Sahib fall peacefully asleep!

^^^ You'll notice all this/might come out clearer in a second read, if one is interested/has the time, of course.. but I wanted to elaborate on it!😳

As mentioned before, the Goddess truly was stirred that night when Heera wailed following her husband's lashing!👍🏼

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

Chellam was super happy about it!😆

Reading time: 1 hour 2o minutes.

Patience is a virtue! 😉 (that's easy to preach & super tough to follow though😕)

Thank you thank you thank you so much... this is so reassuring...I was in such doubt with 56 that I think I hardly slept an hour last night... tossing and turning in bed... like Akbar, I was hallucinating with vivid dreams of the 17th c dungeons and prison fort!

So glad that you enjoyed it...🤗

God... I'm feeling a bit relieved now!
