<p align="center">PART-1</p>
Jalal sat there in his begum's room
holding her weak hand in his palm holding their intertwined hands close to his
chest, his eyes shed silent tears as he saw his Jodha begum's weak and pale
face a stark contrast to her normally fiery and radiant avatar.. She was a warrior
and a proud Rajvanshi, she would never easily bend in front of his wills and
give him a good fight and this quality of her's was the thing that drew him to
her,the fight which she held against Shehenshah Jallaluddin Mohammed. Normally
women would throw themselves his way but this fiery rajput princess of his
would'nt give him one casual look he repelled her in the beginning but slowly
slowly she had grown to like him,to respect him,to befriend him and to care for
him but one mistake of his ruined it all, the thought of that moment made his
well up and he cried out in pain,"Ya allah ye kaisa gunaah ho gaya humse kyun
nahi mane hum Jodha Begum ki baat" and he cried relentlessly as he remembered
the activities which took place a few hours ago.
<p align="center">Flashback</p>
He sat there in the hall of his royal
palace in agra surrounded by his ministers dressed in his finest clothes and
wearing precious jewels for his nikaah with the Kaneez turned Begum Benazir who
had come from Abul Maali's harem and Jodha begum's wrongdoing's had forced him
to marry this slave.. How much he loathed that women for her sheer stupidity
and impulsiveness the price of which was going to be paid by him he had to
lower his standard and unwillingly marry a slave a kaneez who did'nt hold a
candle's stick in front of his grandeur and standard.. He then remembered his
words which he said to Jodha begum a day ago"Aap aur aapke kanha yaha aaram se
reh sakte hai Jodha begum kyun ki jaise humne kaha hum apni galtyaa dohrate
nahi, hum aapke hojre main dobaara kadam nahi rakhenge aapki aankhen band ho
jaaye fir bhi nahi" though he felt his heart prick with hurt when he said those
words and looking at Jodha begum's hurt expression he felt she deserved this
crude behaviour after insulting him and hurting his pride.. As jalal sat there
in the hall he wondered why he had felt that momentary pain when he saw Jodha
feeling hurt because of his crude words maybe because he felt..?? He did'nt let
his mind complete its train of thoughts he disregarded it the very moment the
thought came in his mind, he could never harbour any feeling except hatred for
Jodha begum.. While he sat there thinking he saw Jodha begum enter the hall
looking resplendent in a beautiful green lehenga .He sat there admiring her as
the qazi started reading the nikaah nama.. Her lehenga had light gota work on
it and it flowed down gracefully on the length of her body.. She had worn a
different choli today it was cut deep from the front and was held together from
the back with the help of s dori, her dupatta was transparent which she had wrapped around her torso in such a
way that it highlighted her curves in the most seductive manner.. She had worn
a large choker around her neck,a big round nose ring which she would normally
wear, beautiful bangles and jadau kada's adorned her delicate wrist ,jalaal
noticed something she had worn a thin long black bead ornament which he was
sure was the mangalsutra which he had tied around her neck when they got
married. Jalal was surprised to see her
wearing that ornament as she had not worn it right from the day they got
married. She had also put vermillion in the parting in her hair. She looked
beautiful today jalal thought actually she surpassed the standards of beautiful
according to him. He had started loving the color green right from the moment
he had seen her adorn clothes of that color. The only thing that was missing
was her smile which would complete her look on the other hand she looked
worried ,apprehensive,tensed. Though he loathed her he was drawn to her by her
incomparable beauty and her feiry nature. She was absurd but how could she
doubt his smartness and apt ability to understand people like this he was the
Shehenshah-e-Hindustan, he knew what he was doing and it was time she accepted
this fact and Benazir as his new begum and get over this massive jealousy which
she held for Benazir.. He faintly heard the qazi asking for his approval to the
nikaah and his words rang out loud and clear,"Qubool hai" and the same applied
for Benazir.. Everyone in the hall erupted in cheer and joy at the shehenshah's
nikaah and in welcome to his new begum and adgah sahib fed the shehenshah a
piece of sweet celebrating his nikaah everyone continued to celebrate for a
long time until the shehenshah asked everyone to settle so that the jashn could
be started.. Dancers and singers came in the court and danced and sang in heartfelt
joy to welcome their shehenshah's new begum. The baadshah and begum start their
together enjoying the jashn when the shehenshah felt the need to drink water.
Benazir saw this as an opportunity and she offered the shehenshah a glass of
water from the tray held by zakira.. She drank from the glass first saying she
could not risk her husband's life so she will test everything that reaches him
first and the venom mixed in the water and it would help in killing the great
king but little did she know what would transpire from this little gesture of
her's..Jala smiled at Benazir and took the glass but the moment jalal took the
glass and brought it to his mouth to drink Jodha Begum covered her face with a
veil and stepped out from behind her purdah and exclaimed in anguish,"Shehenshah
mat pijiye iss paani ko iss vishkanya ne iss paani ko dooshit kar diya hai apne
zeher se hum aapse vinti karte hai". Jalal's vein burst with rage as he scream in
ultimate fury,"Buss Jodha begum bahut hua.. aap baar baar Benazir par vishkanya
hone ka ilzaam lagaye jaa rahi hai aur baar baar jhoothi sabit ho rahi hai.Ye
mat bhooliye ke ye ab humaari begum hai aur hum humaari begum ke shaan main
gustaakhi bilkul bardaasht nahi karenge.. Aap ki jalan ke aapko andha kar diya
hai pagal ho gayi hai aap jodha begum aur haan aapke liye thodi izzat jo thi thi
humaare dil main woh bhi aapne kharoch daali apne haathon se, nafrat karte hai
hum aapse aapke chehre se." Jodha begum stood there with tears in her eyes
falling hard and fast while on the other hand Benazir smirked evily seeing the
shehenshah insult Jodha begum in a court full of his people. Salima begum,Ammijaan,Gulbadan
begum,Jiji anga and also Ruqaiya begum felt pity for Jodha begum seeingher
being insulted so harshly by the shehenshah in a court full of people. Jodha
stood there sobbing silently and feeling
numb thinking "This is what my husband thinks of me?? I look like a foul
jealous begum to him?? She started feeling self pity for herself that she was
defending such a person who did'nt want himself to be saved or defended. Even
before she could recover from the shock of her husband's outburst he gave her
another ,"Aapko lagta hai Benazir ek zehreeli doshiza hai toh theek hai ye
paani aap pijiye tab aapko tassalli hogi ke Benazir ek vishkanya nahi hai"
Jodha though stumped momentarily gathered her wits and rajput strength and came
face forward and grabbed the glass of water. She held it in her hand thinking,"Tum
kabhi kamiyaab nahi hogi Benazir kyunki hum apne pati ki raksha karne ke liye
humesha honge pran de sakte hai hum unke liye humaare". She took a large swig
of water and one followed another until she emptied half of the glass's content
and that is when she felt a burning sensation in her throat,she clutched her
neck so that she would'nt feel it all around her body she felt suffocated in
her throat.. She fell down on her knees feeling suddenly very weak in her knees
her mouth emitting white froth.. She faintly heard the shehenshah cry out her
name in agony ,"Jodha" and before her head hit the floor her shehenshah came to
her rescue and caught her in his arms every inch of his face covered in agony
,anguish and pain.. She smiled slightly seeing him and closed her eyes before
saying,"Humne pran bacha liye aapke shehenshah apna patni dharm nibhane main
saphal hue hum."
