Ejjatly. 😆

Moreover Bhaijaan's temperament is different from Shah Sahib's.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

Rose Bhabhijaan can flirt, line marofy and romance anyone else so strongly yet subtley that Bhaijaan would hardly percieve the difference. But you are an open book. 😕

Honestly, it was good riddance to bad rubbish.👏

Mahendar was not in the same evil league as Khalil , whose death by the way , I would not even waste a drop of ink to write about ( figuratively speaking, of course).😊

I do agree with this...

Yet, as the last breath left him, I did feel sorry for him just for a fleeting moment- not for his death but for the erroneous life he chose to lead . Being of royal pedigree, he could have achieved so much , but alas...

It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be. ( J.K. Rowling)

>>>👏

The unimaginable misery suffered by the sisters all began when he entered their lives. 😭

'And you think you deserve all of it?' whispered Akbar during his third counterstrike 'After what you did to Harka Sahiba? After what you did to Durga Sahiba?'

After how you let your woman suffer a million deaths worse than what you are about to?'

This line took away even that faint tug and it was a thumping yes, you truly, truly deserve this end , Mahendar!👏

Ohhh... yes totally understandable! Totaaally understandable!

Lashy Sahiba, I have put in the order for buckets of popcorn for the next tantalizing duel on the cards! The beast has to be butchered mercilessly.

😲 Okkk

Love you loads sweetie 🤗

Akka.. sorry for skipping pages... jumping back and forth like a bee... but here I am...landed on your lovely post... and didn't feel like budging!🤗

Another gripping chapter that kept me on the edge of my seat. Lashy even to this date I'm not a fan to watch any fights in a movie and where possible I skip it entirely.

Really? Omg.. I am an action fan!😲

But reading this chapter I felt I was strapped to my seat and until I was able to finish it that I would not be able to move. 😳

Wow.. you have paid me such a huge compliment I don't even know what to say! ☺️

A doting father's lament of Chachajaan's was very touching.

It seems to have tugged at a few heart-strings for I think most have mentioned him

Another is where Heera is being prevented from attending and having to wait it out to know the outcome of the duel.

In all fairness, she is a prisoner... and prisoners wouldn't be allowed sport or entertainment na..

The duel itself was brought to us vividly with your words. You always hold out an ace when you have to get AMK out of trouble & this time it was the wounded Lion's strategy - Superb!!! 👏

Awww thank you... 🤗

Then it was the veiled intro of the lady in the blue veil. Lashy I had a gut feeling you'd bring HER to the arena & you DID 😉. When it stuck me who it was I knew that one of my predictions of the future was going to come true, for you never waste a character's presence without having a solid use for it.

Hmmm ---> that's the sound of my lips sealed!

I'm already waiting with bated breath to see what the Shehzadi had planned. Last point I want to note that was cleverly executed before the duel is the effect of Tejraj's knotty error.👍🏼

Did you mean Shehzaadi? The Shehzaade's wife? She hasn't planned anything 🤔

Also, Tejraj? Did you mean, Mahendar tying the arm guard so tight that it snapped? 🤔

Duel & Mahendar's demise I'll reserve to write about it later. I need to re-read the chapter to grasp the nitty-gritty of it. We finally know the name of the guard & what a fitting one it is - Chota Zayaan.👍🏼

Thank you, akka! 🤗

Shehzade was set on getting rid of all three of the dueling warriors. Though he initially doubted the Ustaad will win, now he ought to know that Khalil would also lose and he has already thrown a wrench by ordering AMK's men to report to Huzoor's duty.

Actually the ordering to join duty would've happened irrespective of it all... remember in court, he'd told Akbar that he would let his men go granted they served him and him alone😊

As customary, you have left us feeling so good on the one hand but on the other on tenterhooks how the finale' will play out from that wonderful mind of yours in this tale of HBAS. Just want you to know that along with those folks in the arena I too want to give a standing ovation to our dear writer for giving us such a thrilling episode.

Omigosh! Thank you so much... you've got me figuratively burying my face in my hands from embarrassment! ☺️

For all the hard work you did to get us C57 I want to treat you with this 😃:

right now I am on a FR-craze... so this is just the perfect remedy for that! 🤗

Lashy my sister and I mostly read hbas together and then the discussions go on and on till the next update.

You know they say sometimes the smallest gestures can make the grandest differences.. this was one such... I don't know if you intended it as a compliment or were just mentioning it in passing... but it struck a massive chord with me... to think that you and your sister read it together and talk about it..

I mean as an author what could be more of a heart-warming thought than this! I am so so so glad... and do pass on my regards to your sister too!🤗

While reading C56 we were reminded of a story we'd read a long time back about a young fellow describing the finer points of hunting lions and tigers."Yes while on a hunt, you should approach the paw-marks on your left and then take the position to aim when the lion /tiger comes from the right; you'll never miss your target." When asked," How can you be so sure?" He would answer, "i've read many books of famous hunters." "Yes, but have the lions/tigers read those books?" Well my sister remarked thoughtfully,"Lashy seems to have read all those books ,no wonder she could come up with such a master-stroke describing the wounded lion (AMK).

Oh my God! This is so flattering - thank you both so so so much... really... but, internet has made life easy for us all... half an hour, one hour - a few clicks - and one gets enough information to be able to write on a topic... so if there is something to thank, it is the internet for it!🤗

Whatever it is the description is awesome. Accolades to you Lashy Sahiba!!!!

Thanks a ton, Rupinder!

Love,Rupinder
