''Mallika-e-Hindustan,Marium-uz-Zamani,Jodha Begum tashrief larahi hai...''
Jodha entered Jalal's chamber after a guards proclaimed.She saw that Jalal was busy discussing about some matters with Atgah Khan and some other ministers.
Jalal greeted her with a smile and it was returned by a Pranaam from Jodha's side.Atgah Sahb and the other ministers also greeted her.She also greeted them back with a smile.
''Shama chahte hai,Shehnshah.. Humein nahi pata thha aap iss samay vyast rahenge... Hum baad mein aayenge...''
''Arey nahi Jodha Begum... Humne abhi abhi baat khatm ki hai... Aap itminan se baithiye... (turning to Atgah Sahab) Hukm ki tameel ho..''
''Jo hukm,Shehnshah..'' Atgah Sahab nodded and left with the other ministers.
Jalal went towards his bed where Jodha was sitting.She had some papers and ''mourh-pankh with a bottle of ink'',with her. Jalal couldnt help asking her,
''Bataiye,kaise aana hua? Aur aap yeh kya leke aayi hai,Jodha Begum?''
''Shehnshah,ab jo main kehne jarahi hu,aap usse shaanti se suniyega aur yadi mere kahi hui baat aapko accha na laage,toh,humein tokiyega... Hum aur nahi bolenge'' Jodha said,with a tinge of nervousness.
''Thik hai.Jaldi boliye...'' Jalal said.
''Hum aaj aapki adhuri khwaish pura karna chahte hai.. Hum jaante hai,ki,aapke Abbajaan marhum Shehnshah Humayun ke jung mein mrittyu ke baad,aapke kandhe mein Agra aur pure Hindustan ka zimmedari agaya thha aur usike wajah se aap kabhi kalam aur kitaab se parichit nahi hopaye... Hum aapki sahayta karna chahte hai,Shehnshah. Hum jaante hai ki aapko humari baato ka bura lagraha hai,parantu,hum aapki patni aur Mallika-e-Hindustan honeke naate,aapki koi be-izzati kare,sirf issiliye ke aapko parna likhna nahi aata hai,yeh hum katay sehn nahi karenge... Hum nahi chahte ki aap kisi aur ka sahara leke apne aapki aatmvishwas ko kamzor karein.. Hum jaante hai,aapke andar woh manobal hai ki aap parna likhna chahte hai... Parne ya likhne ki koi umar ki pabandi nahi hoti hai,sirf,mann ke andar ek iccha honi chahiye aur woh sfurti honi chahiye... Jaise ki,humari bohut bari iccha thhi ki hum ''Khushkhat'' likhna sikhe aur hum sikh bhi rahe hai... Isi kaaran,aap bhi parna aur likhna sikh sakte hai... Aapko darrne ki zarurat nahi hai,Shehnshah.. Hum hai na aapke saath,aapki parchayee bannke..''
She keeps her hand on his and looks at him.Jalal was amazed,as to how his wife came to know about his biggest dream of his Life which remained unfulfilled due to wars and the responsibilities?
Jodha got scared by his silence but what shocked her was when Jalal kept his hand on her hand and blinked,giving his response.Jodha and Jalal were really very happy.Jalal could feel the determination of his Rajvanshi Begum by looking at her eyes. He ordered the guards to not to disturb them,till he doesnt say.
''Begum Jodha,aapne humari dil ki khwaish pura karna chahti hai.. Hum aapka iss mein saath denge... Humare anpar hone ka najayaz fayda bohut saare logo ne uthaya iss Sultanat mein.. Humein bohut bura lagta thha jab hum kisi khat ko parne keliye Salima Begum ya Atgah Sahab ko bulate thhe... Par,ab aap agayi hai,toh hum sab kuch sikhna chahenge,aapse,Jodha Begum... Aap humein sikhayengi na,Jodha Begum?'' Jalal asked.
''Avashya,Shehanshah.. Yeh humara soubhagya hoga aur kartavya hai... Hum aapki madat karenge... Jab aap acche se sab sikh jayenge,toh,humein bohut garv hoga humare shohar par.. Chaliye,aarambh karte hai. Usse pehle,aap apne Parwardigar se dua prarthna kijiye,aur phir baad mein hum Maa Saraswati aur Kanha ji ki prarthna karenge... Kehte hai na,ki,shubh kaam karne se pehle,uparwaale ki aashirwaad lena chahiye...'' Jodha said happily.
Jalal smiled at her efforts and prayed to Allah to provide him strength and support.He also prayed to Maa Saraswati and Kanha ji for his support,as well.
Jodha sat beside Jalal.She kept a blank paper infront of him,along with a ''mourh-pankh with a bottle of ink.'' Jodha slowly showed him how to write alphabets.Jalal tried to write the way Jodha showed.Slowly and steadily he was learning to write and read.
Slowly,as the gruelling session of teaching Jalal started,Jodha felt really happy to see her Shehnshah making efforts to achieve his unfulfilled goal.She even saw how Jalal used to practice very hard to write which Jodha taught him,day and night.He even used to practice in night,before sleeping.Slowly,as time passed,Jalal's learning power increased in folds and he started to write without the help of Jodha
Thoguh he used to write little,but he made excellent efforts.It all happened with the immense support Jopdha showered on him.
