Recap : Jalal thought : Ya Allah! Hum kitne khush naseeb hain ki Humein Jodha Begum mili. He was all lost in her beauty and smiled again..
Part 14 :
It was afternoon time. The arrangements for the function had been done.
All the ladies in Harem were eagerly getting ready for the function that was going to be held in honor of Begum Jodha.
Some of them were happy that finally, Shahenshah cared for her. While some were so Jealous seeing his new Avatar, including Ruqaiya.
Ruqaiya convinced herself : Huhh!! That wretch!! I know Jalal has some intention behind this. He will always love his Ruqaiya.(and she smiled trickly)
She thought : Today I will dress like the most beautiful lady on Earth,, so that, even if the function is for Jodha Begum,, no one can move their eyes from RUQAIYA.
Even Jalal will fall for her again. ..and thinking this, She got ready for function.
Jodha in her chamber, was totally confused. Firstly, She could not understand his sudden care and second, she could not decide what to wear.
Suddenly, Moti entered with a parcel in her hands.
Jodha : Ye kya hai Moti?
Moti(very happy) : Jodha!! ye humein Shahenshah ne diya hai. Unhone khas apke liye bheja hai. Vo chahte hain ki aap ye aaj ke Jashn mein pehne.
Jodha was surprised. She took the parcel, opened it and saw a very beautiful Rajputani Traditional Lehnga Choli. She was very happy seeing it.
The parcel also contained priceless gems jewelry and gold jewelry.
Moti and Reva helped Jodha to get ready. She was looking so beautiful.
The Guards proclaimed: Ba Adab Ba mulaiza Hoshiyar! Shahenshah-e-HInd, Jalaludeen Mohammad Akar tashreef la rahe hain.
Jodha was surprised. Jalal entered her room and stood stunned!! He was deeply mesmerised with the angel who was standing on front of her.
Jodha looked like Allah's angel , looking lovely in the dress and wearing dazzling sparkling jewelry. He was lost in her.
Suddenly, Jodha said : Aap yahan? Only then , he came back in reality.
Jalal : Humne apse kaha tha na, ki hum apko khud lene ayenge. Isiliye hum aa gaye. Vaise aap, khush hokar bhagti daudti aur titliyon ke saath
khelti hui bahut achi lagti hain. He smirked.
Jodha blushed.
Jalal offered his hand to her, and SHe hesitated at first, then placed her hand on his, and both of them walked together, for the function.
As they walked through corridors, garden, etc. Everyone stood surprised. Hameeda was so happy but Maham was burning within.
Maham rushed to her own chamber and fumed in anger. Tears also rolled down her eyes. She was so angry. Jodha was given so much honour.
She remembered the color Jodha had thrown on her. She said, instead of getting punishment, she is now enjoying her life.
HUm hi itne bade bevkoof hain. Us din humare paas mauka tha unhe saza dene ka lekin humne bevkoofon ki tarah apna gussa, apni chid
unpar nikali. Agar unhe saza-e-maut dete to aaj humein ye din na dekhna padta. SHe fumed again.
All this was watched by Adham Khan. He was enraged too much. He thought - Ammi Jaan took the biggest risk of killing Ruqaiya's baby,,just for me!!
Today its my turn to prove her, that I also love her. He will not leave That Jodha!! His face gleamed with evil smile.
