CHAPTER:8
Jodha stopped before a painting as something looked different about it.It was jalal's picture painted gracefully showing his mainlyness and strength and had two golden parrots on the both side of the painting.Jodha touched the parrot on the left side of the painting and she thought of something.She strong turned the parrot to the other side as a result the painting became two parts as it was painted on a secret door .Jodha was confused why would jalal creat a secret door like this in his room.out of couristy she entered the secret room only to froze in her tracks and her heartbeat literally stopped for a moment from what she saw inside.
***************************************************************************
Jodha was shocked would been an understatement from what she saw inside the room.she stood there stunned as tears formed in her eyes .She never thougt jalal will have something in his room and never thought he will do something like this.Still today she thought jalal loves her more than anyone but today seeing this today her thought changed completely.Seeing this today she understood that jalal didn't love her like she though.Coz this made her understand that jalal love her more than himself and none can ever love her evenn in her next seven lives.The whole room was filled with her picture from their first meet ,first fight ,the day they became friends ,the day confessed their love.But the large painting in the middle of the room is the one touched her heart most.The painting contined Jalal and Jodha sanding in each others arms while Jodha holding a small child which she understood it will be their child.Jodha slowly moved towards the painting and lovely caressing it. The room covered a lot of her and their paintings.With a single look at these painting a person can understand how much the person loves her who painted these.Jodha slowly started caressing all the paintings one by one .After few minutes she came out of the room closing it and sat on the bed as happy tears flowed from her eyes.Jodha was feeling out of the world seeing suprises after suprises in just one hour.She was feeling she would die with the happiness she going through .After few minutes she wiped her tears and went towards the balcony and stood there helding the railing and closed her eyes feeling the sweet climate .Within minutes she felt a pair of very familiar hands encircling her waist and she rested her head on his manly chest still closing her eyes .
''So my begum is enjoying the climate without me haan?''asked jalal placing a lovely kiss on her cheek and rested his head on her shoulder.
''Yes aferall the climate is more lovable than my patidev na''said jodha with a naughty smile.
''So my begum finds this climate more ovable than me.Hmmm its fair.Now i will so my begum who is lovable''said jalal with a naughty smile and stared kissing her neck making jodha shut her tightly from the pleasure.Jalal continued his lovely on her back slowly removing her pallu and hair.Jodha who could not take this anymore turned and hugged him tightly resting her head on his chest .
''So my dear begum who is more lovable me or ur so called climate''asked jalal with a smile hugging her back.Jodha looked at him with a shy smile .
''Only u and always u ''said jodha and kissed his cheek and rested her head on his chest again.Both of them stood there in each others arms for few moment and finally jodha break the silence.
''Jalal i want to ask u something.''said jodha looking at him .
''Haan jodha what is it ?''asked jalal looking at jodha.
''U said none in agra know how i will be looking right?But how come none see my painting in ur room ?Atleast the painter should know me right?''asked jodha with a confused face .Jalal smiled at her question and playfully hit her forehead.
''Arrey buddu i painted that painting of urs''said jalal with a smile.Jodha was first shocked to know this.Though she know jalal know painting she was wondering how he got time to do all this.
''What ?But how u got time for all this?''asked jodha .
''I don't time for my lovely begum u know.Whenever i missed u i used to painting ur picture jodha.The painting in the ceiling was my first creation and the remaining are...''said jalal looking at jodha but he was cut off in the middle by her.
''Are in the secret room right?''asked jodha with a smile shocking jala.
''How did u know about that room?''asked jalal.
''I opened it as i found something fishy in ur painting.Afterall i am the begum of great shanhenshah so i will be intelligent right?''asked jodha with a smile .Jalal smiled at her childishness.
''But jalal how none saw my painting in ur room?''asked jodha and jalal smiled at her non stop question and made her sit on the couch on the balcony and sat beside her .
''Arrey meri begum how many question in one day?ok let me answer it.Till now none have seen ur painting coz i never allowed anyone enter this room as i wanted u to be first person enter it and stop calling this room as mine coz it is our room now.''said jala with a smile.
''ok baba our room''said jodha with a smile and kept her head on her shoulder .
''I am feeling sleepy ''said jodha yawing and jalal smiled and lifted her in his arms as jodha encircled her hands around his neck and rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes.Jalal slowly laid her on their bed and covered her with a blanket
''Take rest for few hours we have to leave for temple and darga this evening as ammijaan arranged a pooja for us''said jalal kissing her forehead and was about to move away from the bed but jodha held her wrist and pulled him and made him sit on the bed .
''Sleep with me jalal ''said jodha looking jalal with a sleepy expression.But jalal got a naughty smile hearing this .
''I have no problem to sleep with u my begum.But do u have the strength even after last night ''asked jalal with a naughty expression.Jodha blushed on his statement and hit him playfully on his shoulders.
''Jalal now a days u r becoming so naughty and indecent .Shut up and sleep with me i am so tired from the journey''said jodha with a giggle and jalal laid beside her covering both of them and jodha immediately hugged him keeping her head on his chest and closed her eyes feeling content drifting into a peacefull sleep within minutes from her tiredness.Jalal kept looking at her and lost in her innocent and beautiful face .He just wanted to stay like this with his jodha in his arms.Jalal just kept caressing her forehead till the peaceful dream engulfed him too.

''No jodha i will not accept my defeat .I will make jalal mine at anycost.I will never allow u to become Mallika ,i will be the only Mallika of hindustan .U may won this time jodha but luck will not be always urside .U have made a big mistake by taking away my jalal from me and i will made ur like hell for this grave mistake of urs.I promise u jodha will feel for taking my jalal .I promise u''said ruqaiya fuming in anger.
