Jodha was sitting in the garden feeding the birds...but her mind was miles away...she was stuck in the events of yesterday night...shehenshah had come to her hojra and declared in no uncertain terms that he found her gorgeous,he was mad about her beauty...a smile lit up her face...she had goosebumps all over her...she knew she was pretty,...knew she was called the desert rose...many royals had spoken to her father abt her getting married to them but that time she had been a naive little girl on the threshold of becoming a woman..she has enjoyed being called beautiful then...but today she relished her power of being able to ensnare jallaludin mohammad...try as she might she knew she could not find a more suitable husband for herself..a husband who was brave,honorable who loved his people and even after having a harem full of women she had never seen him abusing anyone of them...he had women falling at him,but he had never forced himself on her,even though he had the right to demand his husbandly rights...but yes he had fulfilled all his duties...she had faced many obstacles after her marriage but had only emerged stronger bcoz her husband was with her,but recently she had missed his presence in her life,his warm and comforting words,the attention he paid her...his quirky ways of giving her compliments...his helping her out of any bad situation...jodha had seen his good side much more now to declare outright that he was a monster and not someone suitable to fall in love with...but something was pinching her...the shehenshah had said he loved her beauty ,but did he love her with his whole being...everyone from ruqaiyya begum to maham anga had warned her that jalal did not possess a heart...he was incapable of loving...but then why did she feel they did not know who he was then..from the time benazir had come ,jodha had not seen ruqaiyya restless,and she was shehenshah's best friend...did she not feel even one ounce of jealousy like i do...hold on...do i feel jealous...stop kidding urself jodha,if this is not jealousy then i dont know what is...but the shehenshah does not love me...so what,love is not conditional...even if he dosent love u ,u have fallen for him hard...try as she might ,jodha could not refute this...her heart had unfolded this truth,but her mind refused to acknowledge this...fine keep refuting this and not believing in ur love and u r the only one who will suffer jodha...
ranveer was to go for horseriding with jalal in the morning but jalal had feigned a bad headache and requested ranveer to go out by himself and some of the mughal ministers...jalal did not want to face ran veer so soon after yesterday night...jalal had had a very restless night and seeing ranveer would only bring back those hurtful memories...
ranveer was returning back to the palace when he saw jodha sitting in the garden surrounded by birds...earlier he had just seen her clothes and eyes but today he could see her gorgeous self...jodha had taken extra care to dress up today in the most alluring outfit she owned...her golden and peach coloured lehenga with zardozi work...her deep cut choli,had only threads at the back to support it...her transparent dupatta ,open hair and beautiful eye makeup all were giving her a divine aura...jodha had purposely worn this and come out to sit in the garden bcoz she knew that jalal always came out to exercise at a given time...she had wanted to look extra beautiful for him,even if her mind was denying this...ranveer had never seen a more beautiful sight...the woman of his dreams was right in front of him..all he had to go was go and talk to her...he procedded to break up the little party...
RAN-SHAMA KIJEYEGA RAJKUMARI PARANTU HUMNEIN AAPKO YAHAN PEHLI BAAR DEKHA HAI...
jodha turned to look at the stranger from the market place...ranveers breath got caught...he had not seen a more beautiful and alluring woman in his entire life...her beauty was such that he did not notice the sindoor on her forehead ...still thinking her to be a guest at the palace her enquired...
RAN-KYA AAP SHEHENSHAH KI MEHMAAN HAIN ,HAMARI TARAF...AAPKA NAAM KYA HAI RAJKUMARI...
JODHA-AAP MUGHAL SULTANAT KE MEHMAAN HAIN...AAPKA SWAGAT HAI YAHAN...
RAN-DHANYAVAD RAJKUMARI...PARANTU AAPNE HAMARE SAWAAL KA JAWAAB NAHI DIYA...KYA AAP BHI YAHAN KI MEHMAAN HAIN...
before she could say anything a soldier had come to ranveer to inform him that the shehenshah would like to meet with him...biddding his rajkumari goodbye,ranveer proceeded to jalal's chambers..
RAN-JALAL,AB APKI TABIYAT KAISI HAI.
JALAL-AB HUM THEEK HAIN RANVEER,AAPKI GHUDSAWARI KAISI RAHI...
RAN-KYA BATAYE JALAL,GHUDSAWARI TOH ACCHI THI,MAGAR AAPKE MEHAL MAIN HUMEIN ASLI KHUSHI MILGAYI...ABHI YAHAN AANE SE PEHLE HUMNE UNHE DEKHA PHIRSE...KAL SIRF ANKHEIN DEKHI THI,AAJ UNHE DEKH LIYA...JALAL WOH ITNI KHOOBSURAT HAIN...KAUN HAI WOH JALAL...HUM UNSE VIVAAH KARNA CAHTE HAIN...UNHE APNA BANNA CAHTE HAIN...AAP HUMEIN UNSE MILVAEYE NA...
JALAL(tightly bunching his fists)-AAJ SHYAM KO AAPKO SAB PATA CHAL JAYEGA RANVEER...AAJ SHYAM HUMNEIN JASN RAKHA HAI...VAHAN ISS MEHAL MAIN REHNE WALA HAR INSAAN HOGA..WOH MOHTARMA BHI JINHE AAP MILNA CAHTE HAIN...
RAN-THEEK HAI JALAL...AAJ SHYAAM KA BESABRI SE INTEZAAR RAHEGA HUMEIN...
JALAL-AUR HUMEIN BHI...
