part 12the duel had started...both,the shehensha and the rajkumar were standing facing each other,both had thoughts about a certain person going on in their minds.
jalal-hamari begum ki aur badne wale hath aur mazaron ko humein katna aata hai shehzade...hamari jodha ke bare main sochkar aapne apni zindagi ki sabsi badi galti kar de hai...iska harzana toh aapko dena hi padega,aur yeh jalal aapne aapse vada karta hai iss mukabale ko aapki 7 pushtein yaad rakheingi...
ranveer-hamare yahan na hone ka fayada uthaya tha na tumne jalal,hamari jodha se shaadi karne ki heemat ki na tumne,ab tum dekhna,hum tumhe kitna zaleel kartein hain aur kaise apni jodha ko pate hain...
rb was standing at a distance,he was very tensed...but,not for jalal...he could only think what if ra felt insulted after the loss,bcoz there was no way that ranveer would win against jalal...though rb had not seen him fight ever,but the stories he had heard from his sons had been enough to convince him that ameer would always be safe with jalal by its side...no,rb was tensed bcoz though jalal had promised to not let anything happen to sukanya's alliance,he knew that ra would feel the loss ,after all it was a question of his rajput pride...he just hoped that it dosent lead to anything messed up...just then ra approached rb
ra-rb ji aapke mukh par yeh chinta acchi nahi lagti,bacchon ne yeh khel khelne ka faisla kiya hai,toh humein bhi unhe protsahit karna cahiye...aur agar yeh chinta iss liye hai ki kahin agar ranveer yeh muqabala haar jate hai toh humein bura lagega aur hum yeh rishta kahin tod na dein,toh bekikr ho jaeye rb ji...hum shehenshah-e-hind ki qabiliyat acche se jante hain,aur sukanya ab hamari beti hai...kissi ki bevakoofi ki vajah se usse hum koi dukh nahi pohccne denge...
rb-hum kin shabdon main aapka dhanayavaad karein...aapne ek pita ki chinta dur kar di...bas ab dono bacche sakushal yeh muqabala khatam karein,hum bas yehi cahtein hain...
the fight began...
ranveer using an aggressive strategy first pounced at jalal and tried to hit jalal in the chest ,jalal very smoothly stopped his attack and pushed him back with his shoulders..this caused ranveer to lose his balance a bit,but he regained soon...
again ranveer ran towards jalal and used all his tactics that he had learned and so far had been successful with,but jalal blocked each and everyone of his attack...
for jalal it felt like he was fighting a small child...ranveer though a well built man,lacked the kind of strength that jalal possessed...after all it is always useful if u have been trained from the tender age of 5...for jalal his shamsheer was like a part of his body...his control on it was such that everyone present their were in aww of the shehenshah-e-hinds swordsmanship...
rb was very proud of his SIL...jalal not only deftly stopped ranveer's attacks but also never hurt ranveer,exactly how he was managing it rb could not understand ,bcoz ranveer was attacking jalal very aggressively ,but jalal had kept a rein on his temper till now,infact all there was on his face was a smirk...it seemed like he had measured ranveer's skills and there were not upto his standards.
ranveer try as he might could not touch jalal with his sword...he tried every tactic in the book but it seemed like jalal not only knew better moves but had a very steady and smooth hand with his sword...and the worst part for ranveer was that jalal was not even trying at the moment...it was all a casual play for him...
abdul who was used to jalal's aggressive side while practicing,could not make out what his shehenshah was upto...
after a lot of unsuccessful tries ,ranveer knew he only had one option...he had to somehow use betrayal...he knew it would bring him and his family a lot of dishonour but then he couldnt lose to jalal...not when the stakes were so high...not when jodha was the price...
he once again attacked jalal and when jalal attacked back he ducked and quickly took some sand in his hands and threw it in jalal's eyes while pretending to get up...now the shehenshah-e-hind could not see anything in front of him...both rb and ra rushed to teh two opponents...abdul also rushed to his shehenshah...
abdul-yeh kya kiya aapne sehzade,aap ne chal se hamare shenehshah ki aankhon mein reet daal di...
ranveer-humnein jaan mooch kar kuch nahi kiya,uthte samay hamari shamsheer ke teez vaar se shehenshah ki aankhon mein reet chali gayi...ab ismein humara kya kasoor...
rb-jalal aap theek toh hain...ab iss khel ko yahin samapt kar detein hain..
ra-aap theek keh rahein hain maharaj,bas ab bahut hua..
ranveer-theek hai jaisa aap log chein,parantu shehenshah-e-hind ko apni haar swekar karni padegi...aur hum inse jo bhi mange inhe hume dena hi hoga...
abdul-chalbaazi se mili jeet jeet nahi hoti shehzade,aur yeh hum bhi jantein hain ki aapne kya aur kaise kiya...
ranveer-koi saboot hai aapke pass...toh bas ab shehenshah apni har swekar kar ke humein hamari jeet ka taufa deinge...kyun shehenshah...
jalal was furious at ranveer,being a mughal he had never used such cheap tactics to win a war,he always played fair and square,but here a rajput was bringing dishonour to his whole community and jalal knew why this was happening,but if this good for nothing prince thought that he could beat the shehenshah then he was sadly mistaken...he would make him rue the time he decided to take on jalal...
