SS: Friendship is second name of Love : Chap 2 Page 8 - Page 2

There is a busy morning in Amer palace. Everyone is busy in the preparation of function that is going to take place. It is birthday celebration of eldest princess Rajkumari Jodha. But away from all, a beautiful figure is lying peacefully in the middle of large bed. It is of Rajkumari Jodha who is still lost in her dreams. Her beautiful sleep is disturbed by a voice.

"Janamdin ki bahut sari badhaiyan Jodha Beta"

Jodha wake up by the sweet voice of her mother. " Dhanyabad Maa" She hugged her mother. Then she see other people her bapu saa, dadi saa , bhai saa , bhabhi saa, her little sisters and her best friend Moti. They all greeted her and she thanked them. They all went after wishing her. Now, only Moti and Jodha are left.

Jodha: " Moti Jalal ne humare liye koi uphar (gift) ya patra (letter) bheja"
Moti: "Nahi Jodha Shehenshah ka abi tak koi sandesha nahi aaya. Magar tum chinta mat karo aj tak kabhi aisa hua hai ki Shehenshah kabhi tumhara janamdin bhule hai.
Jodha :" Magar ab aisa hoga. Uski itni sari begume hai , tumhe kya lagta hai Moti Jala ko apni bachpan ke mitr (friend) ki yad aayegi".
Moti: "Nisandeh unhe tumhari yad aayegi. Vaise bhi tum har varsh (year) aisa kehti ho aur har varsh Shehenshah tumhe chakit (shock) kar dete hai . Ab tum jyada chinta naa karo aur taiyar ho jao, Hume Devi Maa ke Mandir bi to chalna hai".
Jodha nods in yes and then she got ready and went to temple.

In The Temple
Jodha is doing Aarti and singing a bhajan. Priest and other people are praising her voice. Then she sit to pray down... "Heyy Devi Maa, Aaj Hum aap se apne liye nahi balki Jalal ke liye maang rahe hai. Heyy Maa Aaj Jalal Us Krur (Cruel) Raja ki saina se vijayi hoke laute." Moti bai hear her prayer and smiles. Then they both stand up and took Prasad. A guard calls them as she has to give some useful things to poor people...The two eyes are still gazing at her from distance.
Jodha is distributing food and clothes to poor. Sudden, a beggar come and Jodha is feeling some unknown bond with the beggar. She ignored her feeling and starts to do her work but she is watching that beggar many times.

Moti:"Kya hua Jodha kuch samasya hai"
Jodha: " Hume laga jaise Jalal humare pas hai par Shayad humara vehem hai, wo to abhi yudh me hai na"
Moti : "Vaise kuch bhinn(different) hai na tumhara aur Shehenshah ka rishta... Ek dusre se kitna jhagda karte ho aur phir bhi ek dusre ki kitni chinta hai
Jodha: Kyonki Humara aur Jalal ka jhagda kabhi nafrat se nahi hota , humare jhagde humari mitrata (friendship) ko aur badate hai... Hum ek dusre ko kitna hi bhala bura hi kyo na keh le, par hum dono humesha ek dusre ka kabhi bura nahi chahenge... Moti agar Ishwar bhi humse ye kahe ki Jalal humara bura chahta tab bhi nahi manenge... Hume Khud se bhi jyda vishwas hai Jalal par aur humari dosti par, Wo kabhi humara apman nahi hone dega.
Moti: " Is Bat me to koi sandeh nahi hai"...

A person is hearing their conversation and smirking...They went to Amer Palace with their soldiers.

The scene shifts to Jodha's room.
Maid: "Pranam Rajkumari , Mughal Sultanat ki Mallika Hamida Bano aur Mughal Sultanat shehzadi Bakshi Bano apse milne ki aagya (permition) chahte hai".
Jodha :" Kya Ammijaan aur Bakshi aaye hai, hum unse shigra (quickly) milna chahenge".
Hamida :" Apko apki salgirah Mubarak ho Jodha Beta. Allah apko lambi umar (age) de.
Jodha: "Dhanyavad Ammijaan"
Bakshi: Salgirah Mubarak ho Jodha ...
Jodha: "Dhanyavad Bakshi Bano, Jalal nahi aaye , Ammijaan unhe yad to hai na ki aaj humara janmdin hai."
Baksi: " Jodha Bhaijaan yaha nahi aa payenge, wo Sultanate ke khilaf kisi ne bagawat ki hai, jis vajah se wo aaj ke jashn me shamil nahi ho payenge. Magar unhne apke liye ye kuch tohfa bhijwaya hai. Ye lijiye aapka tohfa aur ye khat jo bhai jaan ne apke lie bheja hai

Jodha open a letter and read it ...

Jalal's letter.

Jodha...

Sabse pehle tumhe tumhari salgirah Mubarak ho Jodha
Hum jante hai tum humse bahut khafa hogi ki ham tumhari salgirah ke jashn me shirkat karne (ATTEND) Amer kyo ni aaye.. Magar tum to janti ho tumhare sabse ache dost hone ke sath hum Mughal Sultanate ke Sehenshah bhi hai, Humari Sultanate Aur uski Riyayah (citizens) humari jimmedari hai...Hum jante hai aaj subah se hi humara intezar kar rahi hogi. Humne tumhare liye ek khaas tohfa mangwaya hai aur hum chahte hai aaj tum usi tohfe ko pehen ke aaj jashn me shamil hona aur hume bharosa hai ki tumhe humare is tohfe se humari kamin kam khalegi...
Allah tumhe lambi umar de aur tumhe har mushikilon se bachaye aur hum dono taumar( whole life) aisi hi ladte rahe

Tumhara Jalal...

Jodha read a letter. Then she opened Jalal's gift and it was a necklace. Jodha really liked it.

Hamida Bano: Jodha Beta aap Jalal se ab khafa to nahi hai

Jodha: Nahi Ammi Jaan Bilkul bhi nahi balki hume to Jalal par garv (proud) hai ki wo ek yogya shehenshah hai, Ammi Jaan ek raja ke liye har rishte se upar uski praja honi chahiye...
Hamida Bano: Hume naaz hai aur khusi bhi ki Jalal ko ap jaisi dost mili...Beta Ab hum Rani Mainavati se milke aate hai
Jodha nods in Yes and then sit on her bed. Moti heard the whole conversation.

Moti: "Tum jhuth bol rahi ho na Jodha"
Jodha:"Kaisa Jhuth Moti, Humne koi jhuth nahi bola"
Moti: "Tumne jhuth bola hai Jodha, Tumhari Hriday(heart) se iccha(wish) thi ki shehensha tumhare janamdin ka utsav tumhare sath banaye"
Jodha: "Haa Hum chahte the ki Jalal humare janmotsav (birthday celebration) me aaye parantu humari sabse badi iccha jalal ko ekyogya raja ke roop me dekhne ki hai, hum sadev chahte rahe hai ki Jalal apne Sehenshah hone ke kartavya (duties) aur apne uttardayitvo (responblity) ko acche se nibhaye. Maa Saa sadev kehti hai ek badi khusi ke liye choti choti khusiyon ka to tyag (sacrifice) karna padta hai.
Moti :" Thike Jodha, Tum to kabhi bhi Sehenshah ko galat nahi manogi, Chalo ab sandhya (evening) ho gayi hai ab tumhe utsav he liye taiyar ho jana chahiye".
Jodha nods in yes and start to get ready for her birthday party.

A servant shouts "Savdhaan Amer ki shaan, Amer ki beti Rajkumari Jodha padhar rahi hai.
