4x5=mmm thought Jodha.4x5=20 replied Jalal.Looking at Jalal she gave him a big thank you smile.It had been 2 months since his little bride had come in his life and a very unknown happiness and a sense of responsibility had come within him maybe that is why for the very first time he stood against his grandfather and requested him to educate his little bride.His grandfather who was a very adamant believer that girls are not meant to be educated they should take care of the house and family but Jalal being equally adamant made sure he didnt agree till he convinced his grandfather.Seeing his grandson the old experienced man realised that his grandson wasnt giving up easily so he finally decided that Jodha would be educated but by home tutors.Now Jodha would learn in the morning help her sister and mother-in-law in kitchen and do her homework with her bestfriend Jalal aka angel the perfect nickname given to him by his little bride.

Jodha had slowly accepted her new family.Jiji and Jiju loved her more then anything.Jiju was her big brother and he treated her just like he treated Jalal.His mother-in-law was her favourite she helped her in every little thing.Her father-in-law reminded her of her own father.Dadi would tell her fairytales just like her mother and would even oil her hair and compliment her for her beautiful long hair and Jalal and she always had a fight with eachother regarding whose hair would dadi oil first.Dadaji was strict but Jodha was well aware he was a kind man inside just the other day she nearly fell from the stairs had Dadaji not hold her in time and scolded her for being careless.But the only person Jodha couldnt understand was buwa Mahamanga she just couldnt understand why she hated her so much and what confused her more was she hated her jiji as well.

Angel how many friends do you have ? Huh why do you ask little one replied a curious Jalal.Well he was still getting use to the fact suddenly she had a nickname for him.And for the first time he didnt mind maybe because she had so innocently given him a name.But the fact it was so girly he had taken a small promise from her that she would only call him angel when no one was around and this was only their little secret well Jalal had a reputation to protect what would his friend say if they find out his little bride had nicknamed him angel.Angel you didnt answer me...Well let me see I have many friends like Maan, Bhagwan, Sharif etc etc but my bestfriend is Abdul we been friends since kindergarden u know he knows me really very well and he was going to say a few more things about Abdul when he noticed a very lost Jodha.Hey little one what happened? Are you allright.Angel if Abdul is your bestfriend then who m I ? questioned Jodha didnt you tell me I am your bestfriend.Jalal quickly understood his mistake and started explaining his little bride.Hey little one you didnt let me complete my sentence when I said Abdul is my bestfriend that was till I met you now you are my bestfriend he could see a genuine smile on her face but still she had some questions on her mind.It was a big suprise to Jalal as well but somehow he just understood her so well he himself couldnt deny that he had a strange bond with his little bride.

Angel but if I am your bestfriend now wont Abdul feel bad and he will miss his bestfriend as well though you are my bestfriend I miss Surya we use to fight alot but he was my bestfriend.So Angel you can have two bestfriends that way no one would feel bad.Jalal simply couldnt believe how could a small girl think so big she never failed to suprise him.Here he was trying to cheer her up and she was thinking about his bestfriend and their friendship.Well she was one innocent soul and Jalal had unknowingly promised himself to protect her always.
