Prologue

Three Great Emperors had toiled hard to build the vast and flourishing legacy of the 'Mughal Empire', keeping relative peace by unifying its Mughals and Hindus. However; by mid 1600s, cracks began to appear in its solid foundations. Insecurities crept in through the gaps, widening the gulfs between the two religions once again.

With the old Emperor becoming too feeble to take charge and his jealous successors remaining preoccupied with expansion and power, the damage was never repaired. Not surprising then that new rebellions arose every day. Violence escalated, claiming many innocent lives.

Yet; in the midst of such turmoil and peril, there bloomed a beautiful story - much like a lone flower blossoming upon the steepest edges of a cliff - a story of love, of sacrifice and honour!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Forced to flee from her motherland, the one home she knew... forced to leave behind her people, for whom, she was their only hope...forced to grievously abandon the last rites of her loved one while the flames on the pyre were still ablaze...the orphaned heiress of 16 overcame grief and many shortcomings, as she embarked on a long dangerous path... setting out to seek help and support, for her people and her lands...

Till a chance stay with a complete stranger would change the course of those very plans forever!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Being the most shrewd, determined and unforgiving of the lot meant he was formidable... a force to be reckoned with... it also meant he could have owned it all - riches, power, women and fame... but, he fancied none of it...

As a recluse with simple tastes, the rich life held no real appeal... power didn't tempt him... women didn't interest him... his passion was work and his only family were a few loyal friends... he had decided that he wanted little else in life...

Till a chance visit from a complete stranger would change that decision forever!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The story goes thus..

What a wonderful treat, our author has given
Making all the readers love-smitten
How the couple draw near each other
She caring for him and he caring for her
How can there be a more meaningful romance
Than the two understanding each other at a glance
We stop before proceeding to the next scene of her writing
Unless we're satisfied with a second or third reading..

Her greatness is revealed when she orders his cabinet
The best wood available with the best workmanship (put) in it
She corroborates his clever lies to safeguard her community
She admires him for his tactfulness and his sincerity.
He found a haven for his horses royal
She understands his motive to be so very loyal
We cannot separate them and study them as two
As they are intertwined as one in their view..

Kakasa's signature laddus and Vaid kaka's folly
Give the readers the moments of happiness and jolly
Fun intended but, we could see his embarrassment
She watches it with eyes filled with puzzlement
He is drawing towards her step by step
To convince her carefully avoiding any misstep
The last laddu , playing the part of a cupid , is not so dumb
" The last one was mine..and I enjoyed it to its last crumb!"

With Khan Sahib in her mind and Samart Singh in her lips
She feels the metamorphosis taking place in her without any fuss
The metamorphosis took place also within me
But in the reverse order making me a teen!
Such is the effect of the Author's pen
That has won our hearts and (made us) read it again and again
The red lines according to some, are like the "stop" signal
We enjoy the sojourn by guessing what the story would foretell..

Karkuzhali.
