After some seconds,Jodha came out,wiping her face,which lacked energy. It had a different glow today.She slumped down on the nearest couch and rested her head at the back of the couch. Moti served her Juice and went outside to inform Salima Begum.
Outside Salima Begum's hojra:
A guard announces Moti's arrival.Moti came and greeted Salima Begum,who was busy arranging Rahim's clothes.She asked a bandi to take Rahim out in the garden. The bandi comes and takes Rahim out..
SB: Bataiye Moti bai.. Kaisi tashreef layi aap?
Mo(looking woried): Begum Sahiba,hum abhi Jodha Begum ke kaksh se arahe hai... Aapke saath baath karke nikalne ke turant baad hi unki tabiyat achanak se kharab hogayi thi.. Hum bhi unke piche gaye toh dekhe thhe ki unhe ultiyaan horahi hai. Abhi woh vishraam kar rahi hai... Maine pehle aapko batane ka socha...
SB(worried): Ya Allah... Ab Jodha Begum kaisi hai? Koi hai unke paas?
Mo: Zakira hai unke paas...
SB: Accha kia humein batake... Aap fou...
Till she could complete her sentence,a bandi comes inside in a hurry and said,
''Begum Sahiba, Jodha Begum behosh hogayi hai.. Zakira ne bataya... Humne Hakima Sahiba ko iqhtala kardia hai... Atgah Sahab ko bhi bata diya hai ki Shehnshah ko bata de..''
''KYAAA...'' Salima Begum and Moti screamed...
''Moti bai,aap jaake fouran Mallika-e-Azam aur baqi sabko iqhtala kijiye.. Tabtak,hum Jodha Begum ke paas jaate hai..''
''Ji..''
Salima Begum ran towards Jodha's hojra,while Moti informed Hamida Bano and others,including the Hakima Sahiba... Hamida Bano instantly became really worried and quick steps,went towards Jodha's hojra... Meanwhile,Hakima Sahiba reached and started Jodha's treatment...
In DEK,
Atgah was discussing some political matters with Todarmal and Jalal,when,a soldier comes and says,
''Shehnshah ka iqbal buland.. Gustakhi ki muaff ho,Huzoor... Jodha Begum ki tabiyat bohut nasaaz hogayi hai.. Begum Sahiba ko chakkar aaya aur woh gir pari... Hakima Sahiba ilaaj kar rahi hai.. Mallika-e-Azam ne aapko bulwaya hai...''
Jalal stood up with a worried face and ran towards Jodha's hojra,like a cheetah.. He was really worried for Jodha and her health... Moti informed about Jodha's health before falling into unconsciousness.. Jalal became panicky and started roaming around her Hojra...
After what seemed like ages,Hakima Sahiba came with a smile on her face. Jalal and others went towards the Hakima Sahiba and asked about Jodha's health.
''Hakima Sahiba,kya hua humari Begum ko? Woh durust toh hai na... Kal raat aur aaj subha hi toh bohut durust thhi.. Bataiye humein.. Unhe hua kya hai...'' Jalal asked,worry clearly evident in his words.
''Mubarak ho,Shehnshah... Mubarak ho Marium Makkani,Salima Begum... Jodha Begum Sahiba maa banne wali hai... Baccha aur Maa dono bilkul durust hai.. Abh unhe bohut sakht aaram farmaana hai... Kya kya khana peena hoga,uss sab kya bohut hi khaas dhyaan rakhna hoga,khaas kar ki unke aas paas sabkuch kushhaal hona hoga... Ab aaplog milsakte hai.. Ijazat dijiye..''
Everybody became super happy after knowing about Jodha's pregnancy... Jalal's happiness knew no bounds... Tears of happiness fell from his eyes... He hugged Hamida Bano and cried...
All went inside and congratulated Jodha... Jodha,herself was really happy after learning about her pregnancy.. Hamida Bano blessed her and her unborn baby and prayed for them...
Jalal was the most happiest one. He instructed Atgah Sahab to increase the level of Jodha's security and asked Salima Begum and Hamida Bano to especially look after Jodha's food and medicine...
All the day went away like this.. Jalal distributed coins,new clothes amongst his subjects of his empire and the happy news was sent to Aamaer,as well.. Celebrations started all the way in Agra's empire... Meanwhile,Ruqaiyyah Begum was hell angry after hearing ths news from Hoshiyaar... She pushed Hoshiyaar and said to get out of her Hojra and dismissed him from all the duties... She ransacked everything in her room and vowed to destroy Jodha's happiness..
