part 18sukanyas haldi and sangeet ceremony had started,sukanya was brought down to a large and palatial room by jodha,mainavati and shivani...there was a large group of ladies ready with dholak's and tablas and various other instruments,sukanya was made to sit on a well placed cushioned bed like sofa and all the ladies surrounded her...the haldi was suppose to come from the grooms side,while they were waiting for it the ladies started singing and dancing all around sukanya...
jodha was sitting right next to sukanya in a mustard color lehenga,with emerald jewelry and mustard and green bangles ,she was looking like an angel...jodha was looking at everyone dancing around them with a longing ,sukanya saw this and knew that her sister who was very fond of dancing was controlling herself mainly bcoz she was a married woman now and that too the begum of shehenshah-e-hind,she did not want to embarass him in any way but sukanya was sure that her jijasa would understand if jodha danced today,after all it was her sisters wedding...
sukanya-jodha jiji,humein aapse kuch cahiye..
jodha-bolo na sukanya...
sukanya-kya aap hamari haldi par thoda sa nachnge nahi..
jodha-parantu sukanya,mmaasa,bapusa aur shehenshah ko bura lagega.hum nahi cahte ki shehenshah ko koi bhi bahana mile hamare parivaar to beizzat karne ka..
sukanya-parantu jiji...
jodha-nahi sukanya humein shama kar dena aaj aap iss ke ilaava kuch bhi maang lijeye...
sukanya got disheartened but she had not lost hope,she send a messenger to the shehenshah with a message which read"PRANAM JIJISA,HUM JANTE HAIN AAPKO AASHCHARYA HOGA HAMARA YEH ANURODH SUN KAR,PAR AAJ HUMSE RAHA NAHI GAYA..AAP TOH JANTE HAIN KI AAJ HAMARI HALDI HAI.HUM CAHTE HAIN KI HAMARI JIJISA JODHA JIJI BHI ISMAIN SAMILIT HO SAKEIN,HUM UNKA NRITYA DEKHNA CAHTE HAIN...HUM AAPSE ANURODH KARTE HAIN KI AAP UNHE ISKI ANUMATI DEIN..DHANYAVAD"
the messenger went to jalal who was seated with the rest of the amer royal family and gave the message to him...after reading the message jalal was in his own thoughts for sometime"HUMEIN TOH PATA HI NAHI THA KI JODHA KO NRITYA KA BHI SHAUK HAI,YAHAN HUMEIN ANUMATI NAHI MILEGI PARANTU HUM BHI UNKA NRITYA DEKHNA CAHTE HAIN"..after some time he took his leave from rb and gang and left with the messenger and walked towards his and jodha's room...he took out a parchment and wrote the following reply "HUMEIN KOI AAPTI NAHI HAI AGAR HAMARI BEGUM APNI BEHEN KI HALDI MAIN SHAMIL HONA CAHTI HAIN",he took out another parchment and wrote a message only for sukanya"HAMARI EK SHART HAI,HUM BHI UNKA NRITYA DEKHNA CAHTE HAIN,AUR AAPKO APNE JIJASA KI MADAD KARNI PADAGI".
he rolled both parchments and gave them to the messanger with clear instructions..the messenger took his leave and got the parchment rolls delievered to sukanya...she read both the messages and had a sly smile on her face,
sukanya-jodha jiji yeh dekhiye,humne jijasa se anumati le li hai ki aap hamare haldi main samilit ho sakti hain,ab toh apni behen ke liye nritya kar dijeye na...
jodha could not disagree ,esp now,but jodha dint know of the 2nd parchment send to sukanya alone..jodha went to gather all her friends to prepare for sukanyas sangeet...she wanted to give sukanya the best sangeet possible and decided to dance on one of sukanyas favourite song...(sorry guyz i dont know any 16th century songs so i will be using 21st century songs)...in the meanwhile sukanya asked one=of her dasis to go to the guards and give them clear instructions that her jijasa should not be stopped to enter the room under any circumstances...and send a message to her jijasa that his work had been done...jodha came back in the room with her friends and started her performance...

here jalal who had been waiting for the message rushed into the room trying to remain unnoticed and hid behind a pillar...jodha started her dance with her friends and all of them surrounded sukanya...jalal couldnt keep his eyes off jodha...everyday she looked beautiful,but today she was looking exceptional...being the shehenshah of india he had women falling for him left right and center but jodha was and exceptional lady who oozed grace and confidence and today she was looking exceptional..his hand went to where his heart was,his heart beat was racing,never had he seen anyone so beautiful,she was angelic and today while dancing for her beloved sister her face was glowing with happiness that only a sibling experiences,he could make that out bcoz he himself had a sister whoes happiness mattered most to him...he would kill anyone who would even think of hurting his sister...
meanwhile rb and his sons send a messenger looking for jalal,they had to discuss something imp ,the messenger returned without any news of jalal..
rb-yeh kaise ho sakta hai,jawai sa kahan ja saktein hain,unhe toh yahin hona cahiye tha..
bhagwaandaas-bapusa shehenshah kahin jodha se milen toh nahi gaye..
rb-nahi bd,jodha toh sukanya ke haldi aur sangeet main hai,woh wahan kaise...
bd-parantu ek woh hi kaksh hai jahan iss sainik ko jaana mana hai,isne puri jagah toh dhoond liya na,ho sakta hai shehenshah wahin ho...
rb-parantu woh toh aurtoon ka samaroh hai...
bd-ho sakta hai jawaisa ko pata na ho ki hamare yahan aaise samaroh main purshon ka jana mana hai..
rb-theek hai hum khud chal ke dekhtein hain ki jawaisa kahan hain.
