CHAPTER 16:
( add to buddy list and see PM list on page 9)
"Atagah sahab, humne aapse suryabhhan ke baare maein poocha tha, aur sujamal ke baare maein bhi jaankaari hasil karne ke liye kaha tha.."
"shehensha, i have got the information and keeping an eye on them, in future days suryabhaan can be dangerous to sultanate and sujamal too"
"yes i know that, so try to capture them early, because i dont want to take chance with Rajvanshis"
"shehensha, lekin, gustaki maaf ho, hum aapse kuch kehna chahthe hain"
"beshak kahiye"
"shehensha, bagwant das ke baare maein kuch suna hai humne"
"haa kahiye"
"jee, hum jab Amer gaye the, Rajvanshi ilakon ki jaankari lene, humne suna ki bagwant Das aur unke kuch rishtedaar, sulatanate ke khilaf bagawat ke baare maein soch rahe hai, aur humaein lagtha hai ki, woh kaafi naaraz hai, jodha begum ka nikah aapse karwaane maein.."
"hum jaanthe the, isiliye aapko bagwant Das par nazar rakhne kaha tha, isiliye humne Amer ke subedaari ke badle unki beti ko maanga tha"
"jaanthe hai huzoor, but he is trying to stand against you inspite of being your brother in law"
"atgah sahab, i have won the land of Amer, but could not win their trust, Bagwant Das can be serious threat too if not cured soon"
"but shehensha, with a proof of doubt, we cant blame bagwant Das, what news i got are gossips without any proof"
"yes Atgah sahab, only solution is keep an eye on all the Rajvanshis, kaun unko madath kar rahe hai, humaien Raja Bharmal par bharosa hai, apne hi damad ke dushman ko woh sahara nahin denge"
"jee, huzoor aap wajah farmaathe hai, humne suna hai, Raja Bharmal aur Bagwant Das ke rishtey kuch teek nahin Hai"
"teek hai, app jaa sakthe hai, lekin Bagwant Das jab tak yahan hai, un par nazar rakhe hum nahin chahthe, unke bagawath ka saath Mughal sultanate ka koi bhi de sakhe..."

"jodha tum sun rahi ho na, pati ki seva kaise karthe hai.."
"maasa hum jaanthe hai"
"agar tum jaanthi hothi, jamaisa ab tak teen chaar baar tumse milne aye hothe ab tak"
"maasa hum unki lauti patni nahin hai, unki hazaron begumaein hai, aur hum unmeain se ek, agar har begum ke kamre maein teen chaar baar jayenge tho unhe ek saal lagega apni pati dharma poora karne ke liye"
"jodha chup, kaisi besharmon jaisi batein kar rahi ho..."
"maasa, aap chinta math kijiye sab teek hai, shehensha aur hamare beech maein..."
"Jodha, hum tumare maasa hai, tumari jhooth humse chupi nahin hai"
"maasa aapko ek naatha chahiye humse aur aami jaan ko unka potha chahiye hai na, bas isiliye humaien pareshaan kar rahi hai, aapko apni jamaisa se baath karni hai pehle iske vishay maein"
meanwhile HB entered the hojra and smiled at Jodha
"aapko kya laga, humne jalal se baath nahin kiya, humne unse baath kiya iske baare maein, woh bhi chathe hai jaldi woh aabu jaan banein"
Jodha was in shock to know that these two ladies already spoke to Shehensha regarding this...
she thought to herself ------"ye aamijaan bhi na, inka kya jaana hai, ye tho kush rahegi daadi bankar, lekin hum kaise unke saath...ye sochkar bhi humaien chintha hoti hai, inke saath unske bacche ko kaise bugthe hum woh bhi poori zindagi..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it was evening time, jodha finsished her kanhas aarti and offered to moti and her maasa...
"jodha, now i will rest in my room... moti come with me..."
"maasa you can rest in my room too.."
"jodha its not good to stay in married daughters room for long, may be jamaisa can come to meet you, i should not be here at that time"
"maasa, dont worry, shehensha will not come, even if he comes he wont stay for long..."
"jodha, if shehensha comes today to your room, its your duty to make him stay in room for long time... why cant you understand what i said"
"maasa teek hai, i will make him stay here only, are you happy now..'
"teek hai, jodha, yaad rakhna"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rahim was playing with salima and he was troubling her to tell him more stories...she was not feeling well so she called a baandhi asked her to tell some stories to Rahim as she is not well...
Rahim was not impressed with her stories so he runs out of the hojra and lands up near Jodhas hojra, who was reading some book...
Salima begum asks bandhi to get rahim back in the room, as he have a habit of hiding in other begums hojra...
baandhi starts searching Rahim in harem and asks the other ladies did they see Rahim there...
Jodha sees Rahim staring at her...
"khane-e khana, aap humaien aise kyun goor rahe hai"
"Choti ammi jaan i am not staring at you, i am just looking at this book..."
"you are seeing this book, this book is bagawad geetha, jaise aapki khurran hotha hai, jaise hamare liye Bagwad geetha hotha hai.."
"than choti ammijaan its a holy book"
"yes Rahim, by the way what are you doing in my room at this time"
"i came here to listen to stories.."
"but have you told salima begum that you came to my room..."
"yes i have told her..."
Meanwhile Jalal sees a baandhi asking for Rahim from ladies there...and asks her ..she says Rahim came running out of salima begums hojra so she is searching him...Jalal claps his hands and guards come there...jalal asks them to find Rahim...but Guard says he saw Rahim near Jodha begums hojra...
Jalal thinks to visit Jodha begums Hojra and asks that bandhi that inform Salima begum that Rahim is with Jodha begum and shehensha want to spend time with Rahim too...
Jalal without announcement goes to Jodhas room and stands near the door without entering and hears Jodhas giggle with Rahim...
"Rahim, i will tell you one more story, now... one day ..."
Jodha starts narrating the stories to Rahim,... Jalal happily smiles the way Rahim is listening to her...
Meanwhile HB and Gulbadan begum see Jalal outside jodhas hojra smiling to himself... and goes near him... and Jalal wishes them...
"Jalal what are you doing outside jodhas hojra" seeing puzzled
"woh ammijaan, Jodha begum was telling stories to Rahim, i could not stop listening to her stories, and our Rahim is listening to her like the way once i use to listen to you..."
HB kisses his forehead...
"jalal, when you were young, even your father use to hide and listen to our stories too, you are just like your father...Jalal can you see how happy Jodha begum is with Rahim, now i think you should think of your own kid..."
Jalal smiles at her...
"ammi jaan, jab kudah chahenge tab hamara aulaad hoga"
"jalal you came to meet Jodha begum right, now go and meet her instead of standing here..."
Jalal could not refuse HB and enters her hojra...
HB and gulbadan begum leaves the place...but Gulbadan begum seems not happy with it...so she asks HBs leave and moves to salima begums hojra...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rahim sees Jalal in the room..
"salam walikum shehensha"
"waalikum salam khane khana, tho kahani suna jaa raha hai, choti ammijaan se"
Jodha who was sleeping next to Rahim, immediately gets up from the bed, making her dupatta on her head...
"pranaam shehensha..."
jalal smiles at her...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile Gulbadan begum reaches Salimas Hojra and informs her what happend outside Jodha begums hojra ...
so immediately salima sends baandhi to get Rahim back in room...as she feels Jodha needs some private time with shehensha...
Gulbadan begum feels disappointed the way Salima is neglecting her words...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jodha begum, i came here to meet Rahim tonight, by the way you tell stories well..."
"dhanyawaad shehensha"
Rahim feels left out in between the conversation he keeps looking at both and Jodha and jalals faces who were busy in their own talks as if they have forgotten the existence of Rahim there...
Meanwhile Baandhi comes inside Jodhas hojra,,, and takes Rahim with her...
" Jodha begum, let me take your leave now, shabba khair..." he unwillingly takes her leave...
Jodha remembers what she promised her maasa...
she calls out his name...
"shehensha, "
Jalal smiles at this and turns back and asks her
"jodha begum you wanna speak anything with me"
Jodha nods her head NO
"woh shehensha, why cant you stay in my hojra toninght, as Maasa want you to spend much time with me when you visit my hojra..."
jodha tellls this in one go...bit nervously
"jodha begum, yes even i dont have any problem in your room...i will stay here only with you..."
Jodha feels embrassed... even Jalal feels some naughtiness in his heart...
"shehensha, aapne bhojan kiya"
"haan, hamara khana hogaya, aapne khaya"
"yes i had"
than now Jodha is thinking in her mind how can she make him stay in the room for long when they dont have anything to talk...
"Shehensha, woh, aapne bhojan maein kya pakwan kaya"
Jalal feels Jodha is stressed little bit because of HB so he thinks that he need to speak to her now,,,
"jodha begum wont you ask me to sit..."
"shehensha please forgive me... pls do sit..."
Jalal asks jodha to sit too... she sits little far away from him...
Jalal gets up from his place and sits next to her... Jodha feels little bit scared... but he holds her both hands...
