Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it inflames the great. Absence of a person from someone's life extinguishes the love when its actually not love, but infatuation. But if its true love, then it only gets stronger and deeper with time. Now do I need to say where our Akdha stand here? Be it any reason of someone's temporary absence from other's life, say distance or lack of time, but that can never separate two hearts that really care for each other, for their memories span the miles and in seconds they are there. So in a way two people realize the depth of their love. Some times when you long for your true love, it makes your heart grow very fond of that person, much more than before. It makes your heart wander. For without much communication, without much companionship you can still be together because you are meant to be together. So here I can only say that there is nothing that can separate you from the someone special' in your life, unless and until you yourself want the same. Any situation can't be as compelling as your determination and wish to stay together, whatever may come your way; be it new responsibilities, misunderstandings or anything else. Informally, Jalal and Jodha may not be able to see more of each other now, but that is the sole reason which is gonna make them see more of each other, both in a formal and informal way. Formally, they may meet more to discuss harem issues and this may help them to understand each other more, respect each other's feeling and thoughts and more essentially respect each other more than before(precap for Monday says it all😊). Now because they won't get enough of personal space for each other amidst the harem and sulatanat issues, they would definitely long for each other's company. (We have already seen Jodha's reaction when she came to know that Shahenshah had come to meet her but she couldn't meet him being engrossed in harem works) Then, who knows they might come up with more and more excuses just to see each other and to spend few moments with each other.[Wouldn't that be really cute?] So in both ways they are going to come more and more close to each other and connect themselves intellectually as well as emotionally.
If you want to be with the person you love, aren't you already there?? Yes you are already there! You don't need to force yourself in his or her life. We all take different paths in life, we have different works to do, but no matter wherever we go, whatever we do, we take a little of our loved ones as memory everywhere. So physical presence is always not necessary when they are all through your mind and heart. So dear Ruqaiya Begum, you just don't need any stupid plans to come closer to Jalal because they will be of no use now. I can guarantee you are gonna have a chain of futile evil efforts henceforth. In an attempt to ruin Jodha and Jalal's relationship, you have created a hollowness in your own relationship with Jalal. Boomerang! Now even Jalal doubts your intentions for handing over harem responsibilities to Jodha. And further you are saying things like you are showing badappan, audha doesn't matter to you[Oh my God! The wind has stopped blowing!] Doesn't suit you girl! Yes indeed he has guessed the right reason for that so called badappan of yours but he still needs to know how evil you can be. Now, planning to play games and going for hunting with him can do nothing(Are you a kid? Chalo shatranz khelte hain! Chalo chausar khelte hain! Chalo haathi ghoda khelte hain!). You will only be separating them physically. A distant soul can shake the other distant soul and make the longing felt, over untold miles. Soulmates, we say them! Aren't Jalal and Jodha soulmates? Ruqaiya you can take Jalal anywhere with you, but how will you take Jodha out of Jalal and Jalal out of Jodha? Impossible that is! No matter how far they go, their hearts will stay closest to each other. True love doesn't mean being inseparable; it means being separated and nothing changes. Sooner you realize it, better for you. (Ruqaiya grow up and get a life!!!!!)
Jodha doesn't want her Shahenshah to go without meeting her but Jalal now knows and understands that he might not get to see her as often as he likes. Those eyelocks, unintentional(sometimes intentional) hand holdings and touches may not happen as often but deep in his heart he truly knows, that she is the one whom he loves, and he just can't let her go. He has accepted this fact with much happiness on his face. Mahamanga, you said it right! Jalal has changed! He has changed for better. When you love someone, you always strive to become better than you are. When you strive to become better than you are, everything around you becomes better too.So Mahamanga ji, next time when you try to instigate Jalal, please keep it in mind that he is not Ruqaiya, he is Jalal, again he is not the old one, the new one. He'll think twice before accepting and tolerating anything about his love. And if need be, he may even retort you in future(I'm dying to see that) because Jalal is a changed man now!
They are still a perfect couple, its only the scenario which is not perfectly perfect for them. But they will make it! If the days don't allow them to see each other, memories will, and if their eyes can't see each other, their hearts will. So can I say with more responsibilities on their shoulders, they are going to get more time with each other and this will pave the way for their love to strengthen and deepen itself till infinity and ultimately become eternal.
