Wonderful post.
Nicely discussed the new phase in jalal's life.
Of course, some where i feel sympathetic towards ruq also. Without thinking of the consequences she enacted a play whose climax she very well knew. But her emotions took over her logic. Now she has become a disgusting insect in the eyes of jalal. Any one to fall from the high regard to low level in the eyes of their beloved is the worst which could happen to any individual.
Its not jalal's mistake to fall in love for jodha or vice versa. Ruq was always his best friend and would always be forever. She herself said that after jalal started bringing more begums in the harem, they became more of friends that man and wife. Then why so much jealousy for jodha alone. She always thought that she can behave in her attitude as long as jalal was on her side. Her longer head attitude, her pride of being his first wife and BEK, her brilliance and intelligence, her audha security, was all driving factors of her to stoop low to play with every one's feeling.
This is the utter consequences of child marriage. They could become friends, but never man and wife. Love of a friend is different from love of a wife. Ruq has to accept the bitter fact that she could become his best friend, but never his heart.
i also feel sympathetic towards ruk but its due to the circumstances that she could not have the spot in jalal's heart the way she wanted, therefore she accepted the fact that he has no heart and lived with it but now with his new found heart beat she does not know how to react and how to get him back, that is why she did what she thought was right at the moment without thinking of the drastic consequences!
