Nope Its not POEM. these oneshots in my style đ
and sorry for errors didn't re-check!
One Who Has Heart Would Rule!
He was standing at the very end of his balcony. Staring no where in particular,
But his eyes were watching a beauty. The beauty of the Rajput Princess!
A reluctant fierce princess. Jodha
he chuckled remembering how she would make sure not listen to anything he would ever say!
she was laughing. Sitting in the garden along with her maids,
but something was different.. yess that smile!
Even under the blazing sun she shined from every inch of her body.
there was something in her. something that kept him pulling towards her like a magnet.
She was laughing. he thought may be she loved her maid's company.
May be she finally adjusted to new place..
but No. that wasn't the reason.
She was sitting there talking to the pigeon.
Oh yes he remembers the same pigeon he was about to kill,
but Jodha had argued with him until he couldn't bear any more lectures from her mouth!
he had chose to leave the bird and walk way, than stand there and listen to her countless lecture.
he surely did guess she was making fun of him and laughing with the bird.
he was suppose to be angry! he was suppose be furious,
instead he smiled at her silly tactics! Jodha he said again..
the name brought some warmth inside him.
The cool breeze hit his face making him blink twice
and in a split of second everything vanished.
there was no Jodha in garden..
the aura of her laughter was gone..
it wasn't day, it was night.. a Long lonely night..
he sighed.. he was missing her he knew..
She had gone.. She had gone back to amer.. and he had sent her.
he sighed again. As he turned he found himself staring at her yet again.
She was staring furiously at him. His typical jodha!
she had made sure she wont loose a single chance to let him know
"One who has a heart would rule, others would just conquer!"
Jalal had scoffed at her words. How stupid was that ?
he wanted to answer her and let her know,
he had won her! and she was only his!
but before he could say she had disappeared!
a painful emotion washed his face.
he couldnt fathom what hurt him? her absence or his guilt?
Ruqaiyya had asked him hundred times..
"whats wrong jalal ?" and he wouldn't utter a word.
she tried looking at his eyes but failed.
Ruqaiyya could always read his eyes.. then why not now?
she tried pacifying him with all her might, but he just couldnt react in anyway!
and she left. she left saying "You have changed Shehenshah.."
and jalal wondered is that the reason she couldn't read his eyes?
is that the reason he couldn't understand his own self? because he had changed?
"i shall one day make you hear your heart beats shehenshah.. you do have a heart. everyone else too. but its just that you stopped listening to it.." Jodha had said in one of their arguments.
Arguments. Thats what they always did. they argued with each other.
and somewhere the cruel jalal would change into someone else whenever they fought.
how he missed her!
"Jalal.. you can't forgive her! she has poisoned your food!" Badi ammi had said.
Jodha looked different that day, every part of her begging for something he didn't understand.
he didn't want to. because she had tried to kill him. kill her husband!
Jodha had always told him "i shall never accept the one without a heart and as cruel as you Jallad"
may be because of that she had poisoned him?
"Shehenshah.. trust me.. i can never do such a thing!" jodha had said in a hopeful tone.
"have you ever trusted me Jodha?" he had asked her every breath of his spitting venom for the betrayal she had committed!
she had taken a back with his words. she backed off few steps.
it was so clear to him the way she might have felt. her world seemed shattered.
"you never gave me a reason to trust you shehensha.." she had said in a low voice "you won me by force.. you never tried to win me with your heart.. and Shehenshah you accept it or not, You do have a heart.. try listening to it.. may be it would answer you back for all your questions!"
"you shall leave to never return here!" badi ammi had declared. Jalal turned his face away,
he couldn't see her shoulders down, eyes moist and the pride gone.
"I am a Rajput princess, A Rajputani shall give her life than take her husband's life..!" she had said and gone.. gone to never come back..
"you didn't trust your wife! how can you jalal? even god can be wrong at times! how did you think Your badi ammi would always be right?" his mother had asked him. he didnt have an answer.
it was all Badi Ammi's plot.. Badi Ammi shouldn't have done this he thought.
but she did it. he should have trusted jodha but he didn't!
what would he do now? he needed her.. he wanted her..
"Shehenshah you accept it or not, You do have a heart.. try listening to it.. may be it would answer you back for all your questions!" she had said.
May be he did have a heart?
And so closed his eyes. as a smile curved his lips he chuckled
"you were wrong jodha! heart doesn't beat - lub dub"
"my heart says - Jodha Jodha"
and then he left to Amer.. he would get her back.
he didn't have to conquer or win anything this time..
because his heart would do the work!
