Ruquaiyya orders Jodha to meet in her hojra in the evening...She seems to be worried, even after being married to jalal, she was never being invited in to any begums hojra other than Salimas... she felt that there must be something big thats why Mallika E khas has invited her to her hojra...
Jodha enters her hojra and see Ruquaiyya sitting on the grand deewan with her hukka...in mouth..and hoshiyaar pressing her legs...
seeing jodha there she greets with her mughal custom...jodha respects her gesture with her usual pranaam...
Ruquaiyya wanted to tell jodha that to spend time with jalal in nights so that mughal sultanate gets its waaris soon...but she stops herself from telling jodha directly as any women may feel hurt by straight words...as she feels its not good to tell jodha directly as she may misunderstand her and do the opposite that she always does that keeping jalal away from his rights...
she smiles and signals Jodha to sit on the opposite Deewaan...and offers her hukka and Jodha gently refuses saying she will not have as its not good for health...
Ruquaiya raises her eyebrows and says that she always have hukka from her childhood days but nothing has happened to her health and tells jodha that this gives her peace...
Ruquaiyya recalls what salima begum suggested when after speaking to HB when Ruquaiyya went to salima for suggestion to bring jalal close to jodha so that Mughal sultanate get waaris soon...
Salima suggests that, Jodha should be let near jalal all the while till they understand each other, her days and nights should be with jalal till she gives good news...as Jalal is influenced by Maham and his love for her foster brother will never come down and the thought of Adhams death and the reason behind his death is jodha can make jalal pull himself away from her physically...as he may doubt her proximity with her as he might have still doubt that she can be assasin sent by Rajputs...and jalal not agreeing to let jodha near him...
Ruquaiyya seems worried for jalals safety too, as she herself feels jodha can be dangerous beauty sent to kill Jalal, but salima assures her that a Rajvanshi wife will never wish her husbands death...Ruquaiyya will be in dual mind too regarding Jodha to let her near jalal or not..
she appoints many bandhis who kept an eye on Jodhas everydays activity and she had ordered the bandhis to check everything in jodhas luggage which can be harmful to jalals life...and makes sure that Jodha does not have anything with her which can cause damage to jallals life...
and salima assures her that she should trust jodha in this as once she becomes mother of Jalals child the doubt on Jodhas loyalty towards jalal and sultanate will automatically put offf...Ruquaiyya too agrees with this...
Ruquaiyya seemed to be convinced with Salimas suggestion, after making sure that Jodhha is not that bad what she herself thought when she arrived to agra after marrying Jalal...
it was tough for her to push jodha on jalal...But as MEK of jalal it was her duty to give waaris to him but she was not destined to be mother of future emperor...the question was running in her mind... why Jodha? why not some other begum who had royal mughal blood in their veins...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She just had words with salima regarding this too...the answer what she got...
jodha was written in jalals fate, a hindu rajput princess, who knew one day she will become mughals begum, and that too shehenshas, it is clue from Allah that they are brought together to write history in the era of hindustan...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruquaiyya was in her thoughts and jodha sat there waiting for Ruquaiyya to talk...Hoshiyyar calls out Ruquaiyya as BEK more than 3 times than she comes back to her real world...
she gets up from her deewan and sits like royal queen...with her proudy look in her face...
"jodha begum, as you are being in Jalals harem from quite a sometime, being harems head, i have decided some work for you, i want you to locate your room"
Jodha looks at her Ruquaiyya with hurt feel as she felt that Ruquaiyya has called her to insult her once again...tears starts forming inside her eyes...Ruquaiyya notices it..
"do not worry, i will tell bandhis to shift to your new room"
Ruquaiyya whispers in Hoshiyaars ear something...he nods his head and leaves the hojra...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoshiyaar along with other bandis, checks the necessary things to be shifted to Jalals room...as per Ruquaiyyas order... Jalal wont be in his hojra when the shifting of jodhas things were in action...even jodha was unaware of it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruquaiyya looks at Jodha who is sitting like a studious student infront of her with nervousness in her eyes...
"jodha begum, i have shifted your belongings to Jalals hojra"
Jodha gets up from her place widening her eyes with shock..."ye aap kya keh rahi hai"
Ruquaiyya smiles and asks her to sit down and relax...
"jodha begum, i always spend my time in jalals hojra, and take care of his every need, his food, his clothes, his routine, everything, but this time i want to relax my self from this, and i asked Salima begum to shift to jallals hojra and take care of his needs, as you know jalal respects salima begum, and i cant let any bandhi near jalal when you are one of jalals Khaas begum, so being harem head i assign you the duty to take care of jalal, till i resume my work as i have more work in Agra being MEK i need to travel a lot..."
Jodha refuses but Ruquaiyya is damn adamnant in this and she makes jodha to agree to this...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jalal arrives to his hojra and see Ruquaiyya arranging his room...with lots of pardah...Jalal smiles at her...
"Ruquaiyya, what are you doing with my room"
Ruquaiyya confronts him that he has to share his hojra with jodha for quite sometime till they get good news..Jalal seems to be irritated with her thought...
"Ruquaiyya, if i need her, i myself will go to her hojra in the nights, and i dont want anyone to deicde my nights"
Ruquaiyya shares her concern regarding Hamida bhanus health and her worries regarding the waaris of jalal...She convinces him to give chance in this relation...
"ruquaiyya humaein unse ishq nahin hain..."
Ruquaiyya already knew that Jallal dont love her and never meant to love her, this was one of the reason she convinced her heart to let Jodha come near her jalal...
"i know Jallal you cannot love her, to have child, there is no need of love..."
Jalal seems not convinced with Ruquaiyya, but thinking of HBs condition he agrees to let Jodha in his hojra...
"but ruquaiyya, how can she jodha be in my hojra, when all come here for meeting me, she will feel uncomfortable. and being my begum i dont want her to uncomfortable..."
Ruquaiyya convinces him that, Jodha will be inside the other part of his hojra, she will no wheere connected with his official side of the hojra, and the men guards will be guarding other side of the hojra, and efficient enuchs will be made to guard jodhas side...she takes promise from him, that he will give chance to this relation once more...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jalal lies on the bed staring at the sky and counting the stars which were visible through the window...
Jodha arrives slowly, and tries to avoid her anklets sound...and moves slowly..the enuchs greets her,...
Ruquaiyya had taken special care of jodhas makeup, from tip to toe, she was decorated as Jalals taste, in Rajputs dress...she was in his favourite green...
Even though Ruquaiyya dint said anything to jodha directly, jodha was not foolish not to understand what she meant...
jodha was scared to proceed further, she notices jalal counting something...and to distract his attention she makes her bangles to make noise... to distract him from his counting..
