Jodha is only mine - Part 3
===========================
Note: It is Still 5 more days to go, to travel to Amer.
Jodha is started getting used to her life in agra , in the mughal palace. But she is not able to get used to her husband Jalal.
Day by day he showed her different diferent faces, one day he will be the shensha who doesnt think another second to execute a person,
another day he will be competitor or adamant friend to give counter attack to ruquaiya in her chess games, another day he will be loving son who in search of compassionn in maham anga's lap.
With her,she really cant understand him at all why does he marry her...if humiliating the rajput is his intention, he wld have easily put her in the harem as one of the concubine and she is helpless but he didnt , may be if that is the case, definitely she wld have used the poison given my her mom the moment itself.
But why does he care abt her life or death... ?? if his intention is to conquer her...he cld have forced himself on her..but he dint do that also, though she was vehemently opposing him...he left her untouched telling her, he never touch an unwilling women even if she is his begum.
Is his intention is to hold her as a prisoner in his empire and destroy her self-respect? Or make her to come down on her kneels??
She was not able to come to a conclusion abt him..she was unsure whether she can ever understand him at all.
If someone wld have told her that she wld b living with mughals she wld have laughed at their face..but today..
she is living with them as if she has been trained for it.
In the short course of time, she thought she was lucky enuf to find alteast two companions in this big lonely mughal palace .
The first person is Hamida Banu, the ammijaan of Jalal. She is a very kind lady and very importantly she respects other religions too which is very rare in this palace.
Though jalal respects her ammijaan and her words, there is always a distance in his attitude towards her. She was craving for her son's attention and affection.
Apart from these reasons, there is two more reasons why she prefers her company, one is, this is the place where jalal hardly visits so she can stay here without getting a shock of he appearing out of blue behind her with the smirk on his face. And the other main reason, why she frequents her mother-in-law's company is to know
more about her husband's childhood and his life before she comes...she couldnt understand why she wants know abt the person whom he hates the most..may b she wants to know abt his weakness and to play with it... but she never had play with anyone's weaknesses.. but why..the question still remains unanswered..
The other person with whom her frequency matches is Abdul, one of the ministers in the mughal court and a best friend of jalal. The one person who can tell his view to jalal without the fear of his head being chopped off as if he never bothers abt his head at all.. The loyalty he shown to his friend and his king is tremendable..
Above all the common factor between her and abdul is they both love literatures.. he even read the rajput's histories.. when she raised her eyebrows with surprise he replies.."i admire the courage and generouity the rajput king's shown, but our king jalal is the best and he is no less to any rajput king in his intelligence,
and genreousity" he always taken his king's side irrespective of watever it is, end of the conversation they both will be laughing about the stubborness of each other's points.
No matter whatever topic they have started, it always end in Jalal. If only abdul wasnt here she would have forget to smile at all..those were the times where she dont remember other than laughing and playing... she let out a sigh in vain.
Abdul : Malika, are u alright ??
Jodha : How many times i told u bai sa..to call me jodha.. if u r not going to call me jodha i wll not talk to u at all... she turned to walk away from the place.
Abdul : Ok ok.. Mali...Jodha... it will not happen again..ok happy now..
Jodha : Mali...Jodha is not ok..only Jodha is ok baisa.. seeing his hesitation she was smiling..
Jodha : I have a doubt baisa..if ur king is illiterate, then who wrote the threat in the amer's jail.. she was curious she want to know more about that incident , the first time she encounterd her future husband face to face.
Abdul : With a naughty smile on his face, It seems u remember me telling "Our" king is illiterate, but u dont remember ur baisa is literate.. isnt jodha??
forgetting such a small mistake how come she can do that..even if she wld have done that, do this baisa has to tell it loud to embarras her..
Jodha : baisa..u na.. and they both broke into a laugh
----
The sight of jodha has become very scarce nowadays..she never come to his palace and his duties more than ever needed his time..
Whenever he comes to jodha's palace either she is in her mom's palace which he hardly goes...
He was growing restless with jodha's absence..today i am going to find her no matter where she is , even if she is in ammijaan's palace..
u thought u can hide it there forever..which means u still u dont knonw me at all..
i didnt marry u so u cld live a peaceful life here.. it is to show u that i am the mughal is the master of u the rajput.
As a lion attacks its prey he was going to ammijaan's palace.. on the way he heard a mild smiling sound.. the momemt he heard it..he knows it is Jodha..
Though he never heard her smile..something in him tell it is his jodha's smile. A smile sat on his face, all his restless was gone he felt happy but he couldnt understand why he felt happy.. he shld felt angry that she is happy here.. but his mind is very far from those petty discussions he moved towards the smile's direction.
It is jodha..but she was laughing with Abdul.
-----
Jodha : Baisa.. i forgot to give u onething..today is raksha bandhan.. on this day we used to tie the rakhi to our brothers.
U too are a brother to me, do u mind if i tie this on ur wrist..she asked with hesitation
Abdul : Jodha, u dont need to ask permission for me.. the way u consider me as ur brother i too see u as my sister only. I have only one complaint with my sister
that she hates my bahanoi (jalal) and she should try to understand him, telling he extends his arm towards her
Jodha laughed and tied a raki on his hand.. and touched his feet for blessings..
"What is going on here???? what cld be the reason the malika-e-hind is bowing to a minister??" a harsh voice echoed the whole place.
Jalal was standing a two feet away from them.. how come he came here.. at this time. this is the time for his sessions with the scholars
to know and discuss about the literature
Jalal couldnt tolerate that his begum dont have time for him..and the smile, she never give him a mild smile itself
Whenever she saw him either she will show hatred,angry on her
but she has time for his minister (he dont want acknowledge him as a friend at this momemt)
when he first saw her...she was holding his hand..how dare she can touch another man..no matter whoever he is.
"Shehnsha ji, u here.. ur session with the scholars are over", abdul asked calmly..
"I asked a question, abdul, what is going on here..why malika held ur hand and bow down to u", he stressed the word malika.
Abdul was amused seeing his master's reactions.
"Shensha, did u see me holding her hand..no isnt it..Malika was holding my hand, so u shld ask Malika only", with a pleasing tone he replied stressing the words malika.
"I dont expect a question for a question abdul... answer me now..else i dont think twice to chop ur head off" , he placed his hand on his sword.
There is no reply from Abdul
Seeing the interaction, jodha was scared to death..if jalal in anger wld do something to abdul which he mite regret later.She knows how much he care for him.
she hurried towards jalal and placed her hand on his hand which rest on the sword.. "Ji, today is raksha bandhan, sisters tie the rakhi on their brother's wrist, it is
a custom we follow" she hurried her explanation and looked towards abdul's direction. "please tell him baisa" she pleaded .
"Baisa...???" He felt relieved, or he felt as if something which was burning on his chest was cooled down or somehing which was heavy on his chest he felt light
jalal looked her who is standing close to him and her hand on his. With the fear in her eyes..the fear he didnt see it when he brought her to
mughal palace as a pawn..but he saw the fear in her eyes when someone whom she cares might get hurt.. He dint like that she cares someone else..
she should only care abt me.
Jalal looked at abdul's wrist and see his face. Abdul was smiling. "Ji, now i am not only ur minister , i am ur begum's brother too, still do u want to chop my head,
I will be very glad to give my head for my kind, my sister and my sister's husband" he said with the smuck on his face.
Jalal looked at Jodha, " Malika, even u consider abdul as ur brother. u have to remember ur husband is the emperor of hindustan
and u r the empress, u shouldnt not bow to anyone except the god and me" he said with the final note and take her hand started walking towards her palace.
Abdul, " My king defintely had fallen head over heals for my sister, poor him he doesnt even know abt it" he laughed.
