Wonderful post Reemi, thanks for sending me the link. You have such wonderful writing style.
I agree Jalal is ahead of Jodha, somewhere I think he was gone the moment he saw her through the fluttering curtains of her palakhi. He followed her as if mesmerized and dreamt of riding off with her on a horse.
Do you remember there was a scene when MA was hoping Adham can marry BB but news comes of SD having defeated Amer. Jalal was so happy and he said something special about Amer. MA asked him what is so special about Amer, Jalal did not tell her! He just said Amer has something that is not there in entire Hindustan.
He gave his feelings verious names like attraction, then hurt ego, then hatred. He knew very well she did not marry him, the instant she kept the conditions. He would have agreed to anything to get her to marry him.
I had also loved the scene where he said his hands were shaking when hers was given to him in marriage, when he her for the first time.
He has tried very hard not to feel this way and then could not stop himself.
I think for Jodha it has been very gradual and slow journey, she really did hate him first with all her being and from that to love will take her longer naturally.
How beautiful this journey of theirs has been and I wonder who will confide first.
Liz is right, their journey is as beautiful as their love can be. Hope it is more special than the journey.
I do hope they admit to love soon, cos Jalal is so eager and he is holding back for fear of losing her. Lets see how confesses first.
