Chapter 1She sat there as she has been told, Quietly. Letting out a deep sigh she wondered "When this Game would end?" But she had to admit this was Fun, and she was thoroughly Enjoying it. And rather relunctuly but she had to admit that her Husband has excellent wits, He is a Perfect Shehen Sha! Did she just say that all? Oh n...
"Ba Adab, Ba Mulahyeja, Hoshiyar!, Taje Mughal Saltanat, Badshaah Salamat, Shehen Shah e Hind, Jalaluddin Mohammad tashreef laa rahe hai"
He was here.
Jalal entered with a sly grin on his face. What was so Funny? she thought.
''Begum Jodha!..." Before he could say more than this, she interuppted abruptly
"Ab Yahan kya karne aaye hai Shehen Sha? Hume iss kadar apmanit karke, Hamre Parivaar, Hamare Amer par itna sangee ilzaam lagage woh bhi bina kisi Pukhta Saboot ke, ab kya karne aaye hai aap yahan??" She maintained the ferocity, she could manage, giving out a subtle hint, Hoping he would take it.
He was astonished at first, at her sudden outburst. But when he rewinded the situation and her expression he managed to catch hold of the abruptness and as expected too the Hint.
"Saboot hai begum Jodha, Arkh ka Kesar me mila hona hi ek Bahut bada saboot hai" He too gave a retort back.
"Sirk Arkh mile..."
"Bas! kijiye Begum Jodha Bus! kijiye" He lifted his Palm to stop her.
Her breast heave down, relief! She thought. And Jalal noticed that too.
"Ab Kaam ki baat..."
***
Deewane-e-Khaas
"Humne kabhi nahi socha tha Badi Ammi ki aap aisa karengi!" His eyes were moist and he was shocked at the betrayel.
Real Culprit was out. And that he knew would because Jodha was not the one.
After explaining and giving reasons for her act. Maham Anga decided to speak up
"Aap ko toh poora vishwas tha ki Jodha muzrim hai, Aur aap ne iske aage koyi karwaayi karne se mana kiya tha, Toh phir aapko kaise anuman huya ki hum Doshi hai"
Jalal knew this would come. He smirked, looked sideways to Jodha. She locked eyes with him, Both were radiating Truimphness, Finally it worked.
"Kyunki Hume pata tha ki Jodha Nirdosh hai, Issiliye humne asli Kaatil k pakadne ke liye ye Jaal bhichaya. Humne aisa vyavhaar kiya ki sabko laage hum Begum Jodha ko hi Doshi maante hai, aur aage kuch nahi sun na chahenge, Yaad hai hum Deewane-e-Khaas me nina kuch sune Jodha pe kitna chillaye the, woh sab iss liye taaki aap sab ko lage ki Hum Jodha ko Kaatil maante hai.
Jodha ko nazarband bhi unki surakhsha ke liye kiya gaya tha. Hume pata chala ki us din, Tohfo ke Kaksh me aap thi Badi Ammi, Lekin hum nahi maane. Phir Jab hum Begum Jodha se milne gaye toh unhe kisi ke hone ka abhaas huya aur unhene woh Natak kiya jo aapne suna, Hume a vishwaspatr ne bataya ki App waha pe hamari baate sun ne aayi thi.
Sukhr kare Begum Jodhaka, ki unki indriyan itni Tez hai ki unhe kisi ke hone ka anuman ho gaya nahi toh aaj sab kuch aapko pata chal jata. Uss din se humne tahkikat shuru kar d i thi jab yeh Khel shuru huya tha. Aur dekhiye kisi ko kano kaan pata nahi chala.
Aur, Badi Ammi isse pehele aap puchne, Begum Jodha ko yeh sab pata tha aur unhone hamara iss Khel me bakhubi saath nibhaya" He glanced at Jodha lovingly, Part of this Plan was her inelligence. She retutnred the Proud smile.
She rmeebered, how they used to meet at nights, With the Silver Bottle as sign and for security in case anybody saw her roaming at night, they would either assume that she is going to dispose the Poison or she is going to Assume that she is going to the DavaKaksh or somethign of that sort, and maybe inform Shehen Shah for which he would lecture her in Deewane-e-Khaas and would lauhg about in private, The silver shiny Bottle resembled something of all sorts.
Hamida had tears in her eyes, Not for Maham but for Jodha and Jalal. How much trust Jalal had on Jodha that she couldn't do such a thing! He involved her in his Plan, told this to only her when he has more Trust on Maham, Ruquiya and her. But all these weren't infromed only Jodha. The always fighting ones were working together!They shouted at each other, especially Jalal, at each other in Public which worried her little did she know they were working on this toghether in Alone. This was the reason that Jalal frequntly visited Jodha's nazarband Kaksh.
Ohh Lord Bless them!, she mentally prayed.
"Aap hamari Badi Ammi issiliye maut ki saza aapko nahi denge, Par hum chahte ki aap apne bete Adham ko lekar aaj hi Mughal Sultanat se bahar ho jahiye, Kal agar app hume iss Saltanat me kahi bhi milli toh aapke liye accha nahi hoga"
Maham Anga Broke into Tears, did the Last Salaam to him and went away crying, she was guilty How much she wished she hadn't done this. But now the deed is done and she has pack up and leave from here.
Jalal saddened alittle, remembering that because of Badi Ammi he lost his child, his sight wavered her and there , when accidently his eyes met Jodha's Gaz, She was smiling and that was radiant, One smile of here and he forgot his grief, "Life is Beautiful"
They had a long eyelock, Much to the envy of Ruquiya and much to the pleasure of Hmaida and also for other Begums because they were happy for "Ser par sava ser"
