Hello everyone! đ I am back. This time with an AkDha OS.
Here you go:

Jodha stood near the jharokha in her room and gazed at the mesmerising sight of the moon.
Moti, who was always keen to pull her leg, started doing so. đ
"Kya hua Jodha, kiska smaran ho aaya hai? Kya woh..Shahenshah hain?", said Moti, trying to hide her smile.
Jodha's angelic face reddened a bit. đł
"Moti, aajkal tum bahut bolne lag gayi ho. Kuchh kshan ke liye apna mukh band bhi rakha karo.", she responded, trying
her best to not reveal the fact that she indeed was thinking about her Shahenshah.
Moti was adept at interpreting her friend's expressions. This time she remained silent with a smirk on her face. đ
Jodha remained at the jharokha and wished to see Shahenshah. â¤ď¸ This time she didn't have a reason for it.
In Jalal's chamber
Jalal was at his chamber's jharokha, looking at the gleaming moon. Whenever he stood there and gazed at the heavenly moon,
he was reminded of Jodha. He'd clearly fallen in love with her but always hesitated to confess his feelings as he'd always
accepted that he had no heart.
Thinking of his ladylove reminded him of the question he had always asked her ever since she had saved his
life from a vishkanya: "Aapne humari jaan kyon bachai, Jodha Begum?". He was as stubborn as Jodha and this time, right
there and then, he was going to get an answer to it.
"Iss baar aap iss baat ko nahin taal sakengi, Jodha Begum." He said and smiled to himself as he headed off to Jodha's
chamber.
Back to Jodha's room
He had reached the entrance of Jodha's chamber, smiling all the way. Jodha had his back to him as she was at the
jharokha. Meanwhile, Moti had seen him and Jalal had beckoned her to remain silent. Jalal took off his jootis and went in.
He advanced towards Jodha and stopped just next to her. Jodha regained her senses and turned to her right. There was her
Shahenshah, his face shining in the moonlight. She couldn't help but gaze at him. Jalal was mesmerised at witnessing
the beauty of her doe-like eyes at such a close range. They shared an eyelock. Moti took the opportunity to leave the
two alone and left the room. Trapped in her eyes, Jalal tried to grab Jodha's hand, which rested on the sill of the
jharokha. The feel of his hand on hers made Jodha come back to her senses. She slid her hand from Jalal's grip, quite
embarrassed.
Jalal was still lost in enchantment.
Jodha felt uncomfortable in the silence and decided to break it.
"Pranaam..Shahenshah. Aap yahan humare kaksh mein, iss samay, raatri mein...Bataiye humein, hum aapki kya sahayta kar
sakte hain.." She said.
Jalal drifted back to reality.
"Aaadab, Jodha Begum. Humein bas aapse pehle se ek poochhe gaye sawaal ka jawaab chahiye tha."
"Kaisa prashn, Shahenshah?" Jodha replied. On the back of her head, she knew what question he was talking about.
"Wahi sawaal jo hum aapse mahino se poochh rahe hain. Yahi ki aapne humari jaan kyon bachai?"
"Woh..hum..Woh toh..hum..humaara kartavya tha, Shahenshah..." She said, once again trying to cover and end the topic.
"Lekin aapko toh humse nafrat thi. Toh phir aapne aisa kyon kiya?" having said this, he advanced towards her.
Jodha kept stepping backwards and Jalal kept walking in her direction.
Jodha's back clashed onto a wall and Jalal trapped her between his manly arms on either side of her shoulders.
It was quite hard for Jodha to stay in there, there was no way out.
"Shahenshah, hum aapse pehle bhi keh chuke hain ki humne ek rajvanshi hone ka kartavya nibhaya. Humein yeh karna hi tha."
She was trying her best to flip this topic. But Jalal wasn't the one to let her loose at such a great opportunity to get
the answer.
"Jodha Begum, aapke hunar ki daad deni hogi. Aap baaton ko ghumana bhi jaanti hain. Aur hum aapko aaj bata hi dete hain ki
hum aapse bhi zyada ziddi hain. Aaj toh hum jawaab lekar hi jayenge.", said Jalal.
Jodha felt his gaze on her and just at the thought of it, she felt shivers down her spine. But this wasn't that glare
which Shahenshah used to give her when they were newly married. This time it was a gaze of admiration, attachment and
mohabbat. But Jodha couldn't realise that at the moment.
"Shahenshah, humein jaane dijiye.", said Jodha. Enough of this vexation! She thought to herself.
She ducked and escaped. But...Jalal's hand had clinged onto hers and had stopped her in time.
"Jodha Begum, hum aapko chhod denge agar aap humein sahi jawaab dein toh." Well, he knew very well that he wouldn't leave
her. Jodha was in a fix. "Kya? Ab aap humein batayenge ki sahi uttar kya hai? Aap kyon humare.."
Jalal had firmly placed his hand over her lips, preventing her from clarifying her take on the matter.
"Ab aap sunengi aur hum bolenge. Jodha Begum, hum aapko batana chahte the ki...jab humne aapko pehli dafa dekha tha, tab
hume aapko paane ki, aapke taab ko, guroor ko khatm karne ki bhookh thi. Aap mein kuchh tha jo humein aapki taraf
kheenchta tha, ab bhi kheenchta hai. Humare dil mein..apke liye jazbaat hain.."
Jodha just stared at him. She was astounded at hearing this. But that wasn't it, there was more from Jalal.
"Hum din-raat aapke baare mein sochte hain. Aapki har baat, har ada ne hum par jaise jadoo kar diya hai.
Aapko pata hai jab aap humari jaan ki hifazat ke liye apni jaan par khel gayi thi..tab..tab hum toot gaye the.
Jaise humari duniya khatm ho gayi ho..hum aap se yeh baat kai dino se kehna chahte hain ki..Hum allah kasam aapse mohabbat
karte hain." Jalal became teary-eyed. He hoped Jodha would understand.
She reached out for his hand and held it tight. The weather suddenly took a drastic change and became vigorous.
"Shahenshah, kya yah satya hai? Parantu aap toh kehte the ki aapke paas hriday nahin hai.." Jodha couldn't accept it.
"Jodha Begum, humare dil ko dhadkan dene waali aap hain. Aapne humein mohabbat ka ehsaas dilaaya hai. Aapne humare dil ko
jagaaya hai. Yeh sach hai, Jodha Begum."
Hearing this, Jodha's face turned crimson. She left his hand and tried once again for a clean escape but failed again.
"Ab aur nahin, Jodha Begum. Hum aapse sunna chahte hain ki aap humse.."
"Shahenshah, hum aapse yah pehli aur antim baar keh rahe hain ki humare hriday mein aapke prati koi bhaav nahin hain."
She loved Jalal but always ran away from accepting and confessing it loud.
"Par hum ab tak itna toh jaan chuke hain, Jodha Begum ki aapki haan ka matlab hai naa aur naa ka matlab hai HAAN."
Jodha lowered her eyes. For the first time, she couldn't look straight into Jalal's eyes. She was all red. đł
She turned to go away but again no success. Jalal came closer and closer to her. đ
"Shahenshah, raatri bahut ho gayi hai..Aap jaake so jaiye..Humein bhi.."
She couldn't say anymore. Jalal had planted a kiss on her smooth lips. All of a sudden the weather turned calm and peaceful. Jalal entwined his one hand with hers and his other hand involuntarily went on her back. đłJodha was stunned and tranced. When breaking the kiss, Jalal pulled at her lower lip with his. This increased the intensity of the kiss. đł He ended it with a teddy-bear hug.
Jodha felt the most safe and secure in the world then. When she woke up from the trance and remembered what had happened
just a few moments before, she started to run away. She had barely reached the hallway and Jalal said teasingly, "Kahan jaa rahi
hain, Jodha Begum? Humare hojre mein? Theek hai. Koi baat nahin. Hum aapke iss kamre mein aaj raat ke liye ruk jaate hain. đ
Aap jaa sakti hain, Jodha Begum." The fact that she leaving her own kaksh made her stop dead in her track.
He glanced at her from behind with a victorious smile on his face. Today he had won the love of the lady he loved the
most: JODHA.
Once again Jodha had to accept defeat from Jalal. đ
