Adultery Love Sex And War : Age Of Darkness

[Demeter]

I am glad that you loved the latest chapter and your enthusiasm to the lore of the story. So, I thought why not spike some fun by giving you some more context on the lore.

Rustom is actually a descendant of native Irani lineage with his family having ties to the Qajar Dynasty that once unified and ruled Iran from the 17th century. Now the Indian connection to him comes with Rustom's mother being a Parsi from India and being raised by her for a lifetime  , he adapted her surname of Rustom and keeps a little Parsi belief in life. His wife Rebecca is an Italian descendant but follows Jewish faith. Rustom's mindset and dynamic in life is close to his mother teaching him about his paternal roots to the Qajar Dynasty who reunified Iran together and brought order. This had played a major role in Rustom's life as he believed in order that protectedn the world. He was involved in shady businesses but it was all for good reasons.

As for the Zarirs, they're basically the worst kind of people, the typical "Savage" and "Ruthless" and "Evil" side of a'. patriarchy who has the legacy just like the Turks. Brutality and Slaughter are their legacy, their concept of humanity is completely different , either agree with them or get trampled. And they show no mercy, not even to women or children. The worst of the worst. Their ancestry is filled with crimes as the Zarir's are a generations of crime and mayhem that laid remote in Azarbaijaan.
.
.
Now for Sonarika's father, he didn't hate Hemant for being "Fat and Weak", he hated him because he still doesn't know much about Hemant.
.
Plus he too has no idea about his actual military history and Hemant's past as Michael King.
.
.
Hemant's fear regarding Sonarika is not about her finding out but more like how she will react. If she reacts in a negative way , Hemant has developed a fear that she will snatch away Karan and Anjali from him. This builds into his fear of being lonely and thus making himself vulnerable for Michael King to takeover and completely kill Hemant and become something else. That is the deep fear he has , as he is scared Sonarika just might ruin him as he understands his own sins of keeping his past away from her!
.

Wait and read as the Age Of Darkness is about to take devious turns in the story as conflicts gets tighter and lives are in danger!!

Hello Harry,

I would like to express my gratitude for the detailed and comprehensive presentation of the historical background.

Although my perspective differs from yours in some respects, we are in agreement on the majority of points.
But there is no need for an in-depth discussion of the topic at this point, as it is not relevant to the current subject of Hemant and Sonarika's story. 
I will therefore refrain from discussing it further and will leave the matter at that.

My focus is on the captivating narratives of Hemant and Sonarika, which fascinate me and arouse a lasting interest in each new chapter and a joy in reading and following the story.

An explanation of the factors, influences, causes and motives that led to Hemant's transformation into Michael King would be a useful addition to better understand and comprehend both the story and the main protagonists in their actions, feelings and ambitions.

One aspect of this consideration that I find irritating and uncomfortable is the idea that the letter would reveal the connection between Hemant and Michael King to both Sonarika and her father. As a consequence, Hemant could and would be exposed to a situation where he could be blackmailed and attacked.
I strongly reject this idea and hope that you will refrain from pursuing it.

I believe that once Hemant got to know and love Sonarika, he would have put his past behind him and started a new, open chapter in his life. During his time with Sonarika, he was always sincere and honest with her, never displaying any insincere behaviour or leading a double life.

We will see how things develop, and I am already curious to see how Hemant and Sonarika will react to the new situation that may have arisen. Sonarika must not allow herself to be influenced by her environment and especially not by her so-called ‘friends’.
