Mandy beautifully written.
Rukayya is only looking at Jodha, she is NOT looking and thinking about Jalal. All her actions are for Jodha to be separated from Jalal.
Why is Rukayya NOT looking at Jalal. If there is one thing Jalal loves and Rukayya knows it fully is magnanimity, when she refused his gift and asked him to give to SB and Rahim instead he was instantly appreciative. He hates her pettiness but that is what she is showing him all the time. Her reasons for wanting to be with him are because then she can keep him away from Jodha, not for him or her. Jalal is finally seeing her taking away the pampered indulgent glassed he had on!
As long as Rukayya thinks SHE has to and wants to control how Jalal and Jodha relationship is progressing and drive them apart she is not going to change, it is her own fault.
maddy, thx😊..that is why i wrote in the last line that now is the time for her to evolve as now she is in the new surroundings..this man she knew once is new and evolved in jodha's love..this is a very critical time where she will have to understand the delicacy of the situation..if she tries to hold the sand tightly it will slip between the fingers in no time and what will be left is empty hand!
