she reached ashore a river...it was a beautiful and peaceful place to be...it gave her some relief after all the tensions she had gone through...she remembered how she hugged him and how he comforted her...this wasn't the jalal she knw... the jalal she knw was the one who wld be happy to see her tears not the one who wld wipe thm...she cld still feel the warmth of his hands and the heat of his chest...the memory of her act made her blush...wen she luked into the river she saw jalal's image in it...she spoke to it"you have changed shehanshah"...the reflection smiled at her snapping her out of her trans...
"I know i have changed,jodha,i dn't knw how ,why or wen...bt i feel like a whole new man 2day..."he confessed,who was happy dat jodha had felt the change in him...and had said itout...she stood up her gaze still tearing the ground...he continued"jodha begum iknw wat u did wasn't right bt it wasn't wrng either...i am not saying this bcoz i am thankful 4 u saved my life wich obviously i am bt bcoz my heart feels so..."he stopped abruptly...he had said enough and more...jodha felt so happy to hear this not bcoz he supported her bt he spoke 4m his heart and dat tooo 4 her...it meant a lot to her...she smiled a little and jalal felt relieved...
to make up her mood even better jalal asked"so jodha begum tell me dis...haven't u heard 4m any of our soldiers while i was dozing off...".She nodded a NO.this intrigued jalal..a topic randomly pickedup by him to keep jodha engaged tuk up his greater concern...the soldiers didn't,after the missing of himslf and jodhas 4 more than a day,searched them...alot of questions gushed up his mind...it meant that jodha was all alone in this forest wen she wandered off in search 4 his medicines...WOW she is really brave...if it was some other one in her place they wld have just stud there crying doing nothng else...so it was not only her smartness bt also her courage dat saved his life..." she felt proud on his begum who was still in deep thoughts...
but the questin here was why didn't the soldiers come to rescue their shehanshah...was something wrong???? was it dangerous 4 them back there than here in this jungle...it was getting dark and they walked back to their stay..none of thm spoke during their way back...jalal was still lost in his own world of thoughts...it was really stressing him out and a bit confusing...
at last they reachd their destination...they both sat near the fire opp to each other...the fire glazing made her face glow...she was so beautiful dat he cldn,t take his eyes off her...4 the first time his heart was lost in someone's beauty...now jalal slowly started understanding his heart well and knwing the change in him...
IN MUGHAL EMPIRE
ammi jaan was starting to feel afraid as jalal and jodha was to make it back to the palace the previous bt they didn't show up...rukku had reassured her dat during such trips jalal indulged himself in hunting...this time also it wld have been the same...another of her fears was dat wat if jalal and jodha get into another row of fights...bt she has to trust her daughter...she was smart enough to manage jalal all through the journey...ammi jaan hopd they spent some useful time together...she prayed in her heart"ya allah!!!i always wanted jalal to listen to his dil bt he doesn't even beleive it exists...i want him to understand his heart and jodha is the only one who cld do this...help her allah..."little did hamida knw dat her prayers have already paid off...
BACK TO AKDHA
Jodha felt a bit afraid by jalal's hungry gaze on her...she got up to move a little further wen a thorn prickled her foot..."ouch" she cried...jalal was near her holding her in a split of a second"are u alright jodha???" he asked her with genuine concern..."come lye down now"...
bt jodha was jodha"no shehanshah i am completely alright...its just a ...blah blah blah..."
jalal knew jodha is not the one who wld easily come to his way...he said" i dn't want to hear anything...dis is my order to you...now shut ur mouth nad do as i say..."But she still wasn't sure so he picked her up and made her lyedown.She was uttered by this action dat she cldn't find her voice...she was left aghast..jalal examined her foot and 4 a moment was mesmerised dat even her foot luk this gud...he slowly pulled out the thorn at wich she winced a little...he didn't knw anything abt medicines SO HE TUK SOME MED APPLIED ON HIS CHEST'S WOUND AND COVERED IT ON HER FOOT...after this he said "now u can talk jodha begum"...bt she still kept mum...bt jalal wasn't the one to give up...he continued"I was thinking that we wld leave 4 agra tomorrow bt as ur leg is injured...ithink we shuld postpond"
that did it...she spoke up"NO isaid na i am fine...we will startoff tomorow itself..."jalal urged"but ur foot..."
jodha also fought back"i said I AM FINE...i wn't stay a day longer here even if shehanshah orders it"...and with this she laid down to sleep,drifting off into a dream world...he smiled at jodha's innocense and stubbornness...
how much have changed now????how wrng was he abt jodha begum in the 1st place...bt now all the plates were turned and evrything were in the right order...it was decided that they wld leave 4 amer tomorrow.bt he has to be vigilant...wat if any
of his suspisions(that somethng was wrng as the soldiers didn't turn up) proved right...he cldn't take any chances in his jodha's safety...agn he wondered how much have he changed will she ever knw wats the change in him...he smiled and said to himself..."you were right ammi jaan mohabath does exists..."
