Feeling so good.. Detective Master Shashi at his work.. yes yes..
Thoroughly enjoyed their convo.. it was more like an interrogation..
Straight questions from both d sides, but answers were so diplomatic again from both d parties.. Words are chosen so wisely..both of them were so cautious for their real intentions didn't get revealed..
Loved it.. Loved it.. JUST loved it!!
So Lin darling from one liner you have shifted to big big para with best pick up words and beautiful sentence formation..Nice!π
He had been unusually quick to temper, lately, after his return from the South Village night trip. Kushi's dismissal had both hurt and angered him and he was taking it out on his soldiers, barking orders now and then, making his rounds of inspection a suffocating effort for his subordinates
Finally!!
Gen Jha.. 'badi der kar di mehrbaan aate aate..' (shown ur face after long time.. I missed you!!). So how are you.. oops, u r hurt.. poor Gen wounded by his, no someone else's, medicine!!
U know, lin dear.. I was waiting to see Gen Jha's reaction and effect & impact of that direct 'NO'.. And here it comes.. But to be honest I thought you will give a separate chap for it or at least half of the chap..
He had even stopped writing to Kushi out of his annoyance with her but, gradually; he had started missing the warmth and innocence of her written expression.
Gen dear.. her innocence is contagious, no one can remain same after meeting her once..
His yearning to desperately befriend her battled with the desolation of his uncured curse and he had hoped to prepare himself to meet her again.
Ooo desperate Gen.. r u sure, u wanna meet her? Do u think she will be same with you? And ya don't you dare to tell one more lie and try to get her sympathy..
But the change of plans in his battalion's agenda set things in a tumult and he cursed his General code, wishing suddenly he had not enrolled in an occupation that was intended to release his pent-up bestial vigor and make him forget he was a cursed being.
Thank you so much to the person whom so ever has changed the plan..
As he stood contemplating all this, his eyes fell on the petite framed painting propped upon his worktable. A tiny slit in the ceiling of the tent let the ray of the late afternoon sun fall upon the gentle face on the painting making its eyes sparkle with a celestial cheer and its sad smile shine with an overpowering tenderness.
No point for guessing.. without a doubt the painting is of Lady Jha.
Innvalo.. Get back to work.. Here comes the hidden saying/emotions..
Each highlighted group of words over here is saying something.. can you hear that.. Something like..
And ray of afternoon sun is usually quite burning.. n here it has sparkled the eyes and tender the smile..
So if I take it as,
The ray of afternoon sun = Gen jha,
as burning ray is not good for tender skin = he is not good for lady Anjali
Sparkled the eyes and tender the smile = anjali always feels better n stay happy when ever her Gen jha is around..
Uff.. can't think and explain more..
Lin darling.. fab presentation.. Wow!! I literary visualized it..
My question here is why there is sad smile in painting??
Looking at the face, he felt a pang inside of him but he was not affected by it. Yet, he found his fingers reaching for the painting and, lifting it, his eyes ran over the image but with no feelings welling inside of him.
Perfect depiction of his current situation.. he is not more affected by Lady Anjali due to affected by khushi.. yet its togetherness of few years n the relationship they have shared which will bind him with her without any feeling for her..
His hand was still upon the painting, about to be withdrawn, when the flap of the tent was suddenly opened, sunlight bursting into the shadowed side tent. Vigilant instinct turned him about, his hand on the sword sheathed with his belt, and his eyes fell on the face of the determined villager whose silhouette stood barring the light at the entrance of the tent, his shadow falling upon the General's face and upon his hand that was still on the painting.
Best portrayal.. it's so easy n thrilling to visualize it!!
"I write to your daughter often as time permits me in my strenuous schedule. Do you think I would warm up to her if I had another woman legally waiting at hand for me?"
Lin darling..MAY I JUST SLAP HIM ONCE for this?
"But a man at constant strain in the battlefield could look for other resorts if his wife is not close enough."
WOOOWWOOWW.. no need to slap him.. Shashi has done it so well without raising the hand!!
Undoubtedly this goes for Best SLAP, opps.., Dialogue of the update!!
"I assure you sir, then, that I mean her no harm," said the soldier
Really?? I have a doubt!!!
I can say that it is only with worthy intentions that I seek her friendship."
Ya sure Gen.. worthy intentions, but only for YOUSELF!!
away from the horrid land of pain and misery. And doubtful deceit.
Lin...How? I mean how you do always finish the update so wonderfully..
Here, land of pain and misery, in first sight look like talking about battle field only.. but no it also talk about the land of his life, his heart' which has pain and misery due course!
And the later part.. d dishonesty.. ya he knows very well that he was dishonest to Master Shashi..and so he is doubtful whether his dishonesty worked on him or not!!
[Edited] Song of the update:
Bhala Bura, Bura Bhala Hai
Khote Par Sab Khara Bhala Hai
Bhala Bura Bura Bhala Hai
Khote Par Sab Khara Bhala Hai
Jooth Sach Ka, Kya Pata Hai
Ek Gham Ek Badi Bala Hai
Chaal Dhaal Sab Ek Jaisi
Saara Kuch Hi Napa Tula Hai
Sach Ke Sar Jab Dhua Uthe To
Jooth Aag Mein Jala Hua Hai
Bhala Bura Bura Bhala Hai
Khote Par Sab Khara Bhala Hai
Oh I didn't mention about how is the update at start... Do you think I need to!!
Enjoy
