'Alright then' Burying the wistful train of thoughts under an earnest smile, she set her hand upon his heart, bringing about the most handsome grin to his features yet. 'Khan Sahib, Let me take you home...'

Ever the perfectionist, aren't you?😆

>>> 😆 I don't know... in some cases, yes, me thinks!

Yes, many , if not all, of us guessed as much but you tried your very best to derail our thoughts on her identity., Sahiba.😊

Really🤔? But I just added 'W&W' or the '🤔' emoji... for the discussions😆

But you know what, Lashy Sahiba? I was tossing and turning for a good 45 minutes. The phenomenal fight scene and the regret of the hurried Part 2 read kept sleep at bay.😭

Maybe you can try a second calmer read then? Just a suggestion.. 😳

Lashy Sahiba, your thoughts on having completed this mega novel?😳

>>😭 😕 Apaadaa... altogether... mixed feelings I guess...😆

KAWSI I LOVE SEEING YOU TWIRLING AWAY FOR ALL OCCASIONS 👏 😆

LASHY SAHIBA SORRY TO BE WHERE'S THE UPDATE WHERE'S THE UPDATE' AND THEN COMPLETELY SILENT 😆

I READ THE UPDATE AFTER FINISHING OFF ALL MY EVENING CHORES AND AFTER READING THE UPDATE I WAS JUST LOST ❤️ AND LOST NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BEGINNING OF THE HAPPINESS (WHICH I WAS, OF COURSE) BUT LOST ALSO IN THE UTTER PERFECTION OF IT ALL.

HOW BEAUTIFULLY EACH PART OF THE PUZZLE FIT!!!

THE THRILL QUOTIENT OF PART 1 WAS SUPERLATIVE ⭐️ YES I WAS FRUSTRATED THAT THE SAHIB SUCCUMBED TO KHALIL'S DIRTY ANTICS 😡 EVEN THOUGH SAHIB HIMSELF MENTIONED THAT HE WOULD BE WISER THIS TIME 😭 HE STILL FELL RIGHT INTO KHALIL'S TRAP BUT THEN, THAT WHICH IS THE WORST POSSIBLE HANDICAP TO A NORMAL PERSON SEEMED LIKE A MINOR IRRITATION TO OUR INDOMITABLE SAHIB ⭐️ AND HOW WELL HE OVERCAME THE OBSTACLE

I WAS THERE LASHY... THROUGHOUT THAT DUEL. YES I COULD FEEL THE SAND, I COULD HEAR THE SPECTATORS, I COULD SEE THE VARIOUS EXPRESSIONS ON HUZOOR'S FACE, I COULD SEE THE DESPERATION ON THE FACE OF THE VEILED LADY, I COULD HEAR EVERY GASP AND SIGH UTTERED BY CHACHAJAAN AND THE TEAM OF SAHIB'S SUPPORTERS I COULD RELATE TO THE CROWD'S ANXIETY AND ANGST AT THE FAVORITISM METED OUT TO KHALIL..I COULD FEEL GOOSEBUMPS ON MY SKIN AT EVERY MOVEMENT...I COULD FEEL MY OWN SIGHS WHEN SAHIB TWISTED KHALIL'S ANKLE AND BROKE HIS SPINE 😭 PHEW

KHALIL'S LIFE AND HIS END IS A CASE STUDY - NOT ONLY ON HOW LACK OF A GOOD UPBRINGING AND VALUES CAN AFFECT ONE'S LIFE, BUT ALSO ON HOW EGO AND VANITY CAN COMPLETELY DESTROY IT. SAD!! AND SUCH A HUGE WASTE, NOT ONLY OF HIS OWN TALENT, BUT ALSO OF SAHIB'S MENTORING

I WAS AGHAST AT THE WAY THE SHEHZAADE DISMISSED THE POWERFUL VOICES DEMANDING SAHIB AND HEERA'S RELEASE. AND I WAS JOYOUS THAT THE HINDU NOBILITY HAD REDISCOVERED THEIR SPINE AND DEFENDED HEERA/SAHIB THEREBY SPEAKING AGAINST THE HUZOOR

BUT FOR ME THE HIGHLIGHT OF PART 1 WAS WHEN KHALIL WAS KICKING THE SAHIB 😭 AND HUZOOR'S MIND WAS RECALLING THE FLASHBACK SCENE 👏

GOSH ⭐️

ALL THIS WHILE I THOUGHT THAT THE LOSS OF THE LEGACY OF THE USTAAD WOULD BE A BIG BLOW TO THE HUZOOR - BUT I DAWNED ON ME THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL

LOSING THE LEGACY OF THE USTAAD WOULD RID THE SHEHZAADE OF HIS COMPLETE IDENTITY. IT WOULD BE HIS TOTAL DESTRUCTION

WHAT WILL BE LEFT WILL BE A FEEBLE SHADOW OF SOMEONE WHO ONCE WAS, A SHADOW THAT IS SCARED AND FRIGHTENED OF EVERYTHING AROUND - MOST OF ALL ITS OWN SELF 😭

THE MAN IS SO BLIND THAT HE JUST COULD NOT FATHOM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND LOST HIS VERY LIFE...TO WHAT?? TO HIS EGO??

I ACTUALLY PITY THE HUZOOR HIS REMAINING LIFE 😕

IT WAS A TEENY WEENY BIT EXPECTED THAT THE VEILED LADY WAS AMMIJAAN 😉 BUT IT WAS A REVELATION THAT SHE WAS THERE WITNESSING HEERA GETTING SLAPPED 😲 BUT A MASSIVE SUPPORT SHE WAS - BOTH LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY 👏

FOR HER THIS WHOLE EPISODE WOULD HAVE BEEN CATHARTIC - AND A CATHARSIS WITHOUT THE OUTPOURING OF EMOTIONS 😕 I STAND FIRM ON MY EARLIER OPINION THAT SOMETHING REALLY DRASTIC DROVE HER AWAY FROM HER DYING CHILD, AND I THINK TODAY SHE HAS CLEARED A LARGE PART OF HER DUES IN THE EYES OF THE ALMIGHTY 👏

AND BOY WAS I GLAD WHEN SHAHENSHAH ARRIVED 😆 I WAS PUMPING MY HANDS IN THE AIR WITH YES YES YES, MUCH TO THE BEWILDERMENT OF HUBBY DEAR 😆

PART 2 REVIEW FOLLOWS
