Chapter 2
Jodha heart crushed into pieces once her Salima Jiji told her about her marriage and how she was now to live here in this house and couldnt go back to her parents house.She felt betrayed her mother had told her it was a game but it wasnt.She hardly understood when Salima Jiji told her Jalal was her husband just like Jijasa was her husband.Salima Jiji told her she would have to respect all the elders and obey to Jalal.But Jodha was highly confused how was Jalal her husband and why would she have to.obey him.But more then anything she felt crying her heart out knowing she wouldnt be living with her parents anymore.Even though her Salima Jiji lived here.This house wasnt her house.Eyes full of tears she rushed out in the corridor finding a small empty room she sat down and started crying out loud.
Jalal didnt know what more joke was life going to play with him as a very bright student he had so many dreams...He wanted to be the first one in his family to go abroad and pursue his further studies he had it all planned but now everything he planned seemed like a joke to him...Afterall he was married now and he himself didnt know what was he going to do with the bitter truth of life.Marriage suddenly reminded him of Jodha his little bride her innocent smile and her innocent mind just brought a smile on his face.He never blamed her for this marriage neither had any grudges against her. She was only a little girl who was equally betrayed by her family.
Jalal was all lost in his thoughts when he heard cries.Some what he had a rough idea who it was.He followed the sound and soon he reached his destination and as he had guessed it it was his little bride who wept covering her face with her small palm.He didnt know why but he felt really bad for her.He didnt like her in this state he liked her more when she was naughty and mischievous.He quietly sat next to her a bit worried that he might scare her.But her one question and he couldnt be more amazed.Between her sobs Jodha firmly questioned Jalal, How are you my Husband ? Jalal was really speechless out of all question she had to ask him this when he himself didnt know the answer but seeing her state and trying to understand Jalal looked at her and replied slowly not trying to scare her, You know little one I dont know how to explain to you this but you can just think of me as your friend.Now Jodha was highly confused Salima.Jiji had told her the big boy who was with her yesterday whom she thought was playing game with her was her husband and now he is saying he is her friend.Jalal could clearly see her confusion and he couldnt help but smile again how could someone be so innocent.So Jalal again tried helping her you know big people name it husband but we can name it friends.Jodha looked at him again but this time she acted like she understood what he meant..She suddenly had an urge to ask him another question, Why do I need to live in your house why cant I live in my house we can be friends even after I live in my parents house she asked him in one breath.Jalal looked at her she was innocent but she wasnt dumb.Taking in a long breathe, he looked at her you see your parents house is far from my place and you are my new friend so wouldnt you want to know your new friend.If you go to your parents house how will you know your new friend.Dont you like making new friends little one he questioned her.Jodha didnt know why she liked this big boy and now he was her new friend.Jodha again looked at him, So will you save me from Surya.Jalal didnt know how much would this girl amaze him.Who is Surya he asked.He is my another friend lives next to my house but he bullies me alot she answered him.Dont worry now I am here no one will bully you little one.Jodha didnt know but she trusted the big boy and after a long time she had a actual bright smile on her face.Seeing her smile Jalal didnt know why but he felt good.
