(jodha hugs him tightly by resting her head on his chest and placing her arms under jalal's arms...capturing his shoulders with them...jalal hugs her back passionately by placing his hands on her waist ...and they again forget the whole world around them lost in each other completely)
(on the other hand...maham was on the way to jodha's room with khwaja shera...she was quite upset and worried about jalal's behavior...)
Maham:- aapse ek baat puche khwaja shera...
KhwajaS:- ji..puchiye wajir e aliya...
Maham:- kya esa ho sakta hai...ke pehle jo insaan kisi dusre insaan se bepanah nafrat karta ho...baad me wohi insaan usi dusre insaan se bepnah mohabbat karne lage...
KhwajaS:- ji...???(Puzzled with her language...)...kya kaha aapne???
Maham:- are humra matlab hai...kya kisi ki nafrat mohabbat me badal sakti hai khwaja shera...(irritated)
KhwajaS:- haan...haan ...kyu nahi??? Aur wese bhi nafrat ho ya mohabbat ...dono hai to akhir jazbaat hi... aur jazbaat aur insaano ko badlte der nahi lagti maham...waise aap ye kyu puch rahi hai...??
Maham:- kuch nahi ...ese hi...humare man me sawal aaya to puch liya...kyu apko koi taklif hai kya??(In an irritated tone)
KwajaS:- are nahi wazir e aliya...aap naraz kyu ho rahi hai...hum to bus ese hi puch rahe the...
(Finally they reached to their destination i.e. jodha's room...and the sight that came in front of her eyes was way too unbelievable for them...and esp. for maham...khwaja shera faced away in embarrassment due to the awkward moment... .on the other side maham was just staring at the sight with amazed expressions... .she was hell shocked to see jalal and jodha in each other's arms...hugging each other passionately with love...her mouth wide open...she rubbed her eyes twice to confirm the scenario...pinched herself...but no it wasn't a dream ...she felt like a heart attack...she was not able to believe what she just saw...her doubt about their love has now turned into a reality...it was confirmed to her now..That jalal and jodha are in love with each other...her body became numb for some time and she started sweating due to the immense shock...her head started spinning...she just couldn't be able to bear the truth...and tumbled a bit in her place feeling dizzy...in this process her hand collided with the flower vase kept near the entrance of the gate...and it fell on the ground...crushed into pieces...the huge sound made the couple to get out of their world of pleasure...they came back in their senses...opened their eyes and realized that someone has arrived there...they quickly get separated...and adjusted themselves...as jodha's dupataa was not at its place and jalal's hairs distorted...they looked at the entrance to greet the guest but as soon as jalal noticed her badi ammi fainting...he rushed to her... )
Jalal:- badi ammi...(shouts...) (kwaja shera also turned after listening jalal's voice...jodha too rushed to maham...)
Jalal:-(worried...holding her...) badi ammi...aap thik to hai na...kya ho raha hai inhe hakim sahiba...
Kwaja shera:- pata nahi shenshah...abhi to achi bhali thi...pata nahi achanak kya ho gaya inhe...
(jalal made maham to sit on the bed and rushed to get a glass of water for her...jodha looked at maham with confused expressions...)
Jodha:-(to herself) kahin inka ye haal hume aur shenshah ko ek saath dekhker to nahi hua...(she smirked at her thought...)
Jalal:- ye lijiye badi ammi...pani pi lijiye...(he patted her back...maham gulped the water in...she was drenched in her own sweat...jalal wipes it out with a cloth...) kya hua aapko...aap thik to hai na...
Maham:- (composing herself...hiding her real face) kuch nahi jalal...bus thoda chakker sa aa gaya achanak se...ab hum thik hai...
Jalal:- hakim sahiba...jaldi se janchiye...dekhiye kya hua hai humari badi ammi ki sehat ko...
KwajaS:- (to herself) jab kuch hua hi nahi hai to dekhe kya...aapko kaise bataye shenshah ke aapki badi ammi se apki khushiyan hazam nahi hui...ab hum samjhe ke ye humse wo sub kyu puch rahi thi ...hmm...
Maham:-(interrupting him abruptly...) na...nahi jalal...khwaja shera ko taklif dene ki koi zarurat nahi hai...hum bilkul thik hai...acha hume kuch zaruri kaam yaad aa gaya ...hum chalte hain...
Jalal:- lekin badi ammi...aapki tabiyat...
Maham(shouts loudly):- humne kaha na jalal hum thik hai...(composes herself) ab hume ijazat dijiye ...khuda hafiz...(and she raised her hand to bid adieu to them...giving a long stare to jodha to which jodha responded with a smirk...she left from there in a flick of second without waiting for jalal's reponse...)
(jalal was way too shocked at her strange behavior...he felt really awkward the way maham reacted to the situation...jodha understood jalal's dilemma and moved forward and put her hand on his shoulder to console him...)
Jodha:- hum jante hai ke aap mahamanga ji ke vyvhar ko lekar chintint hai...kintu haal me jo ghatnaye mehel me hui hai...shayad unke karan mahamanga bhi vyathit hai...aap chinta mat kijiye...samay ke sath sab thik ho jayega...
Jalal:- hmmm...shayad aap sahi keh rahi hai jodha...kuch waqt lagna to lazmi hai....(and his attention again shifted to jodha's injury as her wound started bleeding again...he got worried)
Jalal:- ye kya jodha...aapka zakham...ye phir se hara ho gaya...ya allah...isme se to khun bhi nikal raha hai...(he looks at khwaja shera with anger...) aap khadi khadi humara muh kya dekh rahi hai kwaja shera...fauran jodha begum ki marham patti kijiye... ...aapko yaha humara didar karne ke liye nahi bulaya gaya hai...
Kwaja S:- ji...jo hukm shenshah...(and she rushes to check jodha...)
(jalal helps jodha to sit on the bed and then made her lie comfortably...caresses her forehead with concern in his eyes...and sits beside her holding her hand...KS examines jodha and unties the dupatta tied at her wound...it was a long cut which has started bleeding badly now...it seemed like though it was jodha's injury ...but pain was clearly visible on jalal's face...khwaja shera touches her wound to clean it out but unfortunately this left jodha with a sigh ... )
Jodha:- ahhh...(this was enough for jalal who was making painful faces from the time khwaja shera has opened her wound...)
Jalal:- (literally shouts) aahhh...samhal ke...kya kar rahi hai aap...dekh nahi rahi unhe taklif ho rahi hai...layiye idhar...hume dijiye....(he snatched the cotton from her hand... and started cleaning jodha's wound very softly with great care...as if she is a fragile princess and will get hurt if he will hold her even a bit hardly...jodha smiles to the core at her luck that she has got such a cutie pie and caring husband...she felt like kissing him for the moment but controlled herself as they were not alone... she was too lost ... staring at him lovingly that she dint even feel much pain ... )
(Meanwhile hamida bano entered the room and found jalal nursing jodha and KS sitting there with confused & scared expressions...hamida was very happy to see jalal's concern towards jodha and was trying to guess the reason behind it...she decided to find it out by herself...she approached there and sat next to jodha on the opposite side of jalal...)
Hamida:-(with a bit mischievous tone) kya baat hai bhai...aaj achanak shenshah hakim kaise ban gaye...aur aap yaha baithi baithi kya kar rahi hai khwaja shera...esa lagta hai mano jalal apko ilaj karna sikha rahe ho...
KS:- (in a low voice) hum kya kare marium makani...shenshah ne hume begum sahiba ka ilaj karne hi nahi diya...kehte hai humare chune se unhe dard hoga...
Hamida:- aaj suraj kis taraf se nikla hai hakim sahiba...itni shiddat se to kabhi humari bhi seva nahi ki humare bte ne ...aur aaj....(hamida notices both jalal and jodha lost...jalal lost in nursing her wound and she was busy watching him...)
Hamida:- lagta hai hum to kham kha diwaro se hi baate kiye jaa rahe hai aur yaha kisi ko humari maujudagi ka ehsaas hi nahi hai....(she waits for some time but they dint respond...she couldn't control the ignorance anymore and shouts...) jalal...jodha...hum aap dono se baat kar rahe hai...
(They immediately get out of their world and feel a bit embarrassed for their behavior...jodha quickly greets hamida...)
Jodha:- pranam ammi jaan...aap kab aayi...hume to pata hi nahi chala...
Hamida:-(in a serious tone) aap is duniya me hoti to pata chalta na apko jodha begum...hum to kabse paglo ki tarah bole ja rahe hai...aur aap dono hai ke sunte hi nahi...ho kya gaya hai aap dono ko...
Jalal:- (to himself...smiles)ishq ho gaya hai ammi jaan...
Hamida:- kuch kaha aapne jalal...
Jalal:- abb...nahi ammi jaan...bus itna hi ke ye aapka wehem hai...esa kuch nahi hai...jodha begum ka to pata nahi per humne ek ek baat suni hai aapki...
Hamida:- acha to phir bataiye...abhi kuch der pehle kya kaha tha humne...
Jalal:- aapne(with full confidence)...thodi der pehle...abhi batate hai...aapne kaha tha...ummm(makes faces as he is trying to remember...)
Hamida:- rehne dijiye...hume pata hai aapne nahi bat payege...suna hoga to batayege na...acha ye sab choriye...aur ye bataiye ke...apne zakhm ka bhi koi khayal hai ya nahi aapko... ya phir sirf jodha ka hi ilaj karte rahege...hakim sahib kabse aapka intezaar kar rahe hai...kahi esa na ho ke aapki raah dekhte dekhte wo khud bimar pad jaye...jaldi chaliye...hum apko lene aye hai...
(jodha gets worried too...she notices that even jalal's injury was not looking good...she supports hamida on this)
Jodha:- haan shenshah...aapka ghav kahi phir se hara na ho jaye...ammi jaan thik keh rahi hai...jaker merham patti karwa lijiye...
Jalal:- aap dono pareshan mat hoyiye...hum bilkul durust hai...hum yahi rahege aapke paas...
Jodha:- zid choriye shenshah...humne kaha na...chaliye jayiye...warna hum apse baat nahi karege...
Jalal:- are are...thik hai...aap to daatne hi lagi hume...(she faces away in fake anger) acha baba...jate hai...naraz mat hoyiye...(he puts his hand on her cheek) apna khayal rakhiyega ...hum bas yu gaye aur yu aaye...(now he looks at KS with a threatening look)
Jalal:- aur aap...zara samhal ker merham patti kijiyega...kyuki agar humari begum ko zara si bhi taklif hui to aapki taklifen kis kadar badh jayegi iska andaza bhi nahi laga sakti aap...(she gets really scared...and nods her head in a yes...jodha smiles at this covering her face with her hand)
Hamida:- ab aapki shikva shikayate khatm ho gayi ho to chale shenshah ji...
Jalal:- acha to hum chalte hai...(looking towards jodha with a smile )...(now he again looks at KS with a serious look)...dhyaan se...samjhi...
KS: - ji shehnshah...aap befikr rahiye...ese ilaj karege ke begum sahiba ko pata bhi nahi chalega...
Jalal:- behtar hai....(and he leaves the room with hamida bano)
(hamida was way too shocked to see her son concerned for someone that much ...and she has also observed the change in jalal-jodha relationship...the way they were caring for each other...the way jalal stood for jodha and most importantly their conversation...which was rare for her to see earlier...she understood the whole situation...but wanted to confirm it once...both of them approaches to jalal's room)
Precap: - jalal's confession...😆
