part 10BK and salima returned to MALWA...MALWA had been gifted by SHEHENSHAH HUMAYUN's father to his cousin brother for his loyalty and support shown by him...he had been crowned shehenshah by his own right,and his riyasat did not fall under the mughal empire...after humayun's fathers death ,the king of malwa still maintained loyalty and support for humayun,but his wife and his son detested humayun;s influence on the king,and in an attempt to gain the throne had the king killed...no one suspected them of foul play bcoz they acted the part of the grieving son and widow to the T,but humayun was no fool...he had started suspecting that something was wrong and he had then send BAIRAM KHAN who was an apprentice with the royal physician of the mughal sultanat ,to work as a physician in malwa and as an under cover agent for humayun...even though BK would send regular reports of all kinds of trechary malwa's queen mother and her son would commit against the mughal sultanat ,humayun was tied by his fathers promise to not take back malwa under any circumstance,but humayun made sure that he made counter measures for all the treachery commited by the new king...ADHAM KHAN being the DAFT person that he was could never get himself out of humayuns mechanisations and MAHAM ANGA was left with a tiny empire and a fool of a son and daughter-in-law...the only source of happiness for her was her granddaughter SHEHZADI RUQAIYYA SULTAN...for her MAHAM ANGA could go to any lengths...
as soon as BK and salima came to malwa,a soldier came to BK with a message that queen mother maham anga wanted to see him urgently...BK made his way to the royal hall where the queen mother sat down with her DIL and the apple of her eye,her granddaughter RUQAIYYA...BK greeted maham anga and javeda...
BK-AAPNE HUMEIN YAAD KIYA MALLIKA-E-AZAM...
MM-JI BAIRAM KHAN ,HAMARI POTI KI TABIYAT THODI NASAAZ HAI,AAPINHE DURUST KARNE KI KOI DAWA DIJEYE..
BK checked ruqaiyya throughly and finally after a few minutes of careful analysis he said..
BK-INHE BUKHAR TOH HAI MALLIKA-E-AZAM,MAGAR GHABRANE KI ZAROORAT NAHI HAI...YEH MAUSAM KI WAJAH SE HAI..MAUSAM BADAL RAHA HAI NA,ISLIYE BACCHON KI TABIYAT KABHI KABHI BIGAD JATI HAI..

BK went back home and told salima what all had happened in the palace...
SB-ALLAH KA LAKH LAKH SUKAR HAI KI MALLIKA-E-AZAM NE HAMARI BAAT PAR YAKEEN KAR LIYA,VARNA WOH HUMARI BACCHI KO JEENE NAHI DETI...MAGAR AB HUMEIN YEH YAAD RAKHNA HAI KI HUM APNI BETI KO ACCHI TARAH PALEIN PURI ISLAMIC TAUR TARIKON SE...
BK-TUM SAHI KEH RAHI HO BEGUM...PATA NAHI ISKE MATA PITA NE ISKA KOI NAAM RAKHA YA NAHI,MAGAR HUM ISSE EK BEHAD KHOOBSURAT NAAM DENGE...
SB-MAGAR HUM ISKA NAAM RAKHEIN KYA...
BK-HUM ISKA NAAM JAMAIMA(lucky) RAKHENGE,YEH HAMARI ZINDAGI MAIN AAYI AUR ROSHNI KARDI...
SB-BEHAD KHOOBSURAT NAAM HAI ,AAJ SE HAMARI BETI KA NAAM JAMAIMA HAI...
both BK and samlima then took jodha in their arms and cuddled her close to their chests...she was send to them by allah and they would love her like their own daughter...they could not thank allah enough for such a precious gift...
IN AMER...
RB and mainavati were distraught..SHAGUNI BAI had clearly told them that they would have to forget about jodha and move on in their lives,when the right time comes they would get their daughter ,but how can parents forget their children and move on...
HUM-BHARMAL AAPKO APNE MANTIYON KO SAB SACH BATANA HOGA...AUR APNE GUNAHAGAR BHAI KO BHI SAZA DENI HOGI...
BHARMAL ALONG WITH HUMAYUN WENT TO THE ROYAL HALL TO ADDRESS HIS MINISTERS AND PUNISH THE CULPRITS...
RB-HUM AAP SAB KO YEH BATANA CAHTE HAIN,KI SHAGUNI BAI KE KAHE ANUSAAR HAMARI BETI ,AAPKI RAJKUMARI JODHA BILKUL THEEK HAI...
everyone let out a relieved sigh,except devendra and vimla...
MIN-TOH AB HUM RAJKUMARI KO KAB DHOONDNE JAYENGE MAHARAJ...
BHARMAL COULD NOT TELL THEM HOW HELPLESS HER FELT AS A FATHER...
HUM-SHAGUNI BAI NE KAHA HAI KI AAP SAB KO SHEHZADI JODHA KO KUCH SAMAY KE LIYE APNE AAP SE DUR RAKHNA HOGA..WOH ABHI HAMARE SAATH NAHI REH SAKTI HAIN..YEH UNKI ZINDAGI KE LIYE KHATARNAK HAI...ABHI WOH JAHAN PAR BHI HAIN BILKUL THEEK HAIN..SAMAY AANE PAR WOH KHUD HUM SAB KO MIL JAYENGI...
RDEVENDRA AND VIMLA STARTED LAUGHING LIKE MANIACS...EVERYONE LOOKED AT THEM WITH DISGUST...BHARMAL HAD ,HAD ENOUGH...
RB-BAS DEVENDRA...TUMHE KYA LAGTA HAI,HAMARI BETI HUMEIN VAPAS NAHI MILEGI...HUMEIN AMBEY MAA PAR PURA BHAROSA HAI..TUM JAISA DUSHT KITNA BHI PRAYAS KAR LE,HAMARI BETI KO HUMSE ALAG NAHI KAR SAKTA...HUMNE YEH FAISLA KAR LIYA HAI ,HUM TUMHE APNI PRAJA KO SAUMP DENGE,WOH TUMHARA INSAAF KARENGI...JITNI TAKLEEF TUMNE HUMEIN POHCHAYI HAI UTNI HI UN LOGON KO BHI...AB APNI MAUT KE LIYE TAYAR HO JAO TUM DONON...AUR RAJ MATA AAP...HAMARI SANSKRITI MAIN MAA KO BHAGWAN MANA JATA HAI ISLIYE HUM APKO DAND NAHI DE SAKTE,PARANTU HUM YEH PRATIGYA LETE HAIN KI JAB TAK HAMRI BETI,AMER KI RAJKUMARI HUMEIN VAPAS NAHI MIL JATI HUM APKA CEHRA BHI NAHI DEKENGE...AAPSE MILNE BHI NAHI AAYENGE...MAR GAYI AAP HAMARE LIYE...
