Five years passed happily .Those was most beautiful time of Bharmal and Maina's life.Palace were filled with antics of Sujamal and Jodha.They used to play ,eats and laugh together.Everyone was amused with the pair of brother sister.One dayJodha left amer with her nana(mother's father) for visiting Mathura . It was so exciting for her as first time she is visiting outside the palace.She was so much excited to explore new place and most important she was excited to see place of her Kanha.She was amused as she is going to see place where kanha born and where he ends that demon kans.She always listens his story ,how he born in jail then sent off from mathura etc.But her excitement was more for the one that she visit it before sujamal bhaisa .She tease him so many time. A bright and sunny day she starts her journey towards matura.She watches so many things which exciting and amusing for a five year old either it was dense forest or commoners doing normal work or people talking in their different mothertongue .She prayed at mathura for well being of family .She prayed to kanha for keeping her life as such .She prayed for new toys and better things than bhaisa.It takes almost 20 days to complete her journey. Her journey was quite peaceful and spritual .She was excited to share all happenings of mathura trip to her mother.She returns to amer in cheerful and exciting mood .She ran into palace in joy but everything is changed in palace in her absence. Amer palace is quite , silent than anyother day. People watching her with sympathy .Little jodha cant understand what is going on. She ran towards her father to ask him what is going on . Her father don't utter a single word just keep his hand on her head. She ran to find her mother to ask her what going on why everyone behave strange . she ran towards her mothers room .she is not there she search every corner of palace but she failed to find her. Suddenly someone place a hand on her shoulder she turned to see who is this.It was her cousin sujamal .Jodha feels relaxed to find him as she can asks him anything and he wont disappoint him.Despite their several fights sujamal always fulfill her every wish.
sujamal bhaisa where is masa? I searched whole palace but failed to trace her.why everyone is behaving strange towards me? Jodha asked him with hopeful eyes that he would satisfy her query.
Sujamal turned her and pointed his finger towards sky and said look jodha those bright shiny stars .Jodha gave puzzeled look to sujamal.She didnt understand what he wants to convey.
jodha my masa told me that your mother was favourite of kanha so he called her and now she became star Sujamal replied as per his best knowledge.
But why bhaisa? Masa is mine ?You know how much she loved me so how can she left me like this??How can kanha snatch her from me?Jodha ask so many questions which doesnt have answer BR]
I dont know Jodha but after your departure they send me to travel Jodhpur and when I return I dont found your mother and when I enquire my masa replied me the same Sujamal concluded. Jodha and sujamal two young kids unware with harsh reality of life that Mainawati died,sits on terrace for hours looking stars continuosly ,they dont realise when they dozed off and maids takes them to their respective rooms. -
Next day in palace temple Everyone listen sound of bells and aarti .for one moment everyone think mainawati is alive and doing her prayer and ran towards temple . for their surprise jodha doing all things which her mother do till date .there is a smile and tears in eyes of everyone present there .Little jodha doing work of her mother with the help of her brother sujamal.Sujamal ringing the bells and Jodha was doing aarti .They stands there to let them complete their tasks. After that Jodha distribute prasad to everyone. they takes prasad in hands and looks her with faint smiles.They put hands on her head. After that day jodha spent most of her time with sujamal . she don't like to live alone in palace.This hard time makes their bond so strong. That it seems impossible for them to stay apart and this thing doesnt go well with sujamal's learning process.
One day bharmal sent sujamal to gurukul to learn war technique, politics , economics. He leave jodha and palace with heavy heart. He promise her he will come back soon. He will try to meet her at least once in a year.Jodha wept whole night when he left .First few days her father gave her full attention but as time passes Bharmal became busy in state matters. Jodha is again alone in whole palace .
