Chapter-6 (part 1) A NEW FEELING!
The night has passed inviting a new day with a new beginning, a new blessing, a new hope and a new feeling! As soon as the rays of the sun, fall on the newly father, he opened his eyes, stretched his arms, and looked at the direction of jodha but alas! instead of jodha he saw that cat, oh sorry! his son.
"hey you grubby cat, enjoy your days and find a new home for you" said jalal sarcastically and moved to his gym, he was doing some warm up exercises which he regularly do before lifting the weights, he was done with his exercises and was ready for the treadmill, but to his forlorn luck, cotton appeared all of sudden, wagging his tail looking at jalal.
"hey you stupid cat, just stay away from me, itz better for you" said jalal threatening cotton but the little cat didn't understood anything and moved a little closer towards him.
"hey stay there, you cat" said jalal stepping backwards, cotton tilted his head in confusion and moved to his treadmill, he stood on the treadmill giving another shock to jalal.(CLICK IT)
"u dirty cat, just move away, are you deaf or what??" asked jalal without thinking that what the little cat will understand.
"why are you screaming, you disturbed my beauty sleep" said jodha rubbing her eyes so as to wake her up, completely.
"yea!! whatever, just take this cat away, idiot!!" said jalal in frustration, at this statement of his, jodha opened her eyes and was amazed to see cotton on the treadmill,"aww he is looking so adorable" thought jodha.
"wait, let i do something" said jodha and ran to their bedroom while jalal sighed in relief but his relief didn't last long as he believed jodha, how can he forget that jodha has the tendency of shocking him by her actions.
"CLICK!" and a sound came, jalal looked at the direction of sound and there was jodha with a camera, shooting pictures of cotton from different angles.
"these are soo cute, i will upload them on facebook" said jodha doing her favourite little crazy dance step.
"what was that?" this was the first question which came to jalal's mind as he never thought that she would think about capturing pictures at that time.
"arre it was a KODAK moment" said jodha and took cotton kissing his cheek to the bed and they again slept while jalal was left frustrated, he sometimes really don't know what to do with her, she is just so different, not like the girls, he met in his life, they all are just concerned about their status but she!! she is different, she enjoys her life to the fullest irrespective that what are other's thinking about her, thought jalal but soon shrugged this thought from his mind reasoning "i am thinking a lot about her now-a-days"
Jalal resumed his exercises and continued it for the next 30 minutes, he took his towel and patted his face dry, he went back to his room and found jodha still asleep while cotton was just rolling himself on the bed, this is consider as a love greeting and a solicitation for attention, cotton looked at jalal, and walked towards him and rubbed his cheek on his hand, this behaviour of cats are mainly the expressions of affection to their loved people, jalal removed his hand immediately and looked at cotton.
"you dirty cat! you are soo irritating, but yeaa!!! less than this idiot" said jalal looking at the sleeping jodha, cotton purred in contentment to this statement of jalal's.
"what meow?" asked jalal slapping cotton's head lightly and left to wash room but only after throwing a pillow at jodha so as to wake her up.
"are you mad pagloo??" said jodha angrily but jalal had already left to take shower.
jodha pouted and took cotton in her arms and tickled him,
"my baby, your daddy is very bad, but don't take tension, jodha singh is here naa, oops! khan" said jodha giggling at her own little joke, cotton also wagged his tail as in support to her, both were busy in their little-sweet talks, but their talks were disturbed when the knob of the bathroom clicked, jodha looked at that direction and was just looking there only, her eyes were not ready to leave the sight in front of her, jalal came from the bathroom, drenched in water, with droplets falling from his hair to his rest of the body, the black towel around his neck was adding hotness to his already sexy look, every curve of his muscle was going through a drooling session of jodha, her teen age was just making it more difficult for her to control her hormones, jalal was bit "uncomfortable" by her continuous stair.
"WHAAT??" asked jalal in embarrassment + irritation breaking jodha's silent stares, jodha removed her gaze from him, she felt uneasy and awkward for her own "restless" behaviour, it was the first time she felt something like that, an unvaried silence rose in the surroundings, jalal was looking at jodha for answer, jodha passed a jejune smile to jalal, so as to lighten the atmosphere.
"don't you think god is really creative, i mean just look at me" joked jodha with a forced laughter to which jalal rolled his eyes at her 'nautanki', jodha rushed to bathroom taking her clothes and closed the door, her irrational breadths were now back to normal, she mentally slapped herself for nailing herself in such an awkward situation.
"oh god jodha! are you mad, how can you drool that pagloo, he is just so uhhh" jodha scolded herself.
After taking a long and warm bathe, jodha looked totally fresh , she looked at the mirror and promised herself to not to get in such an "awkward position" again. She was all ready to go to school, she checked herself once again in the mirror and smirked.
"how can anyone look so beautiful, seriously i am just soo adorable" said jodha to herself and kissed her reflection in the mirror.
She came out from the bathroom smiling at her own antics, but her joyful smile got vanished shortly and her legs gave up for any kind of movement, precisely, she stood rooted at her place as she noticed that jalal was not in his office attire, he was wearing a casual denim pair of jeans with a white tee and a black coloured Louis Vuitton jacket over it, looking totally different or in simple language, he was looking hot like never before, adding to her misery! he was also having a "cool" effect in his new look, which all teens wants to have, jodha was just looking at him or you can say she was ogling him with her mouth drop opened.
"what??" asked jalal looking at her, irritated by her stares since morning.
"are u not going to office today?" asked jodha still gawking him
"yea! today i m going to college" said jalal feeling a bit awkward by her stares as she was doing something like this for the first time, while jodha was just lost in him, "college!!!" said jodha in a dreamy state.
"why are u looking at me?" asked jalal irritatingly making jodha embarrass AGAIN!!
"oh!! god... what happened to u jodha? you are gaping this pagloo!!! wo bhi so stupidly, don't act like a despo, u have done this for the second time now, and come-on, sexy men are still alive in this world , then why this pagloo??? yea!! he is not THAT bad but still itz not my mistake, it was him, who came from the wash room, that too, bare chested, ab! i m soo innocent and he is such a, such a ,ummm...pagloo!!! but still he was looking hot yrr, not again! jodha, oh god!!! don't say that i fancy him and how can i break my own promise, nhi nhi i don't fancy him " said jodha assuring herself.
"if u are done with your murmuring, can we leave now?" asked jalal confused by her different behaviour, jodha nodded but didn't looked at him not for a second too, they both came downstairs, where mirza and hamida were having their usual cute fights.
"thank god! you both came, jodha! your exams are next week naa?" asked hamida looking at mirza while mirza was scared of jodha's answer.
"yess maa!! and you know i haven't prepared anything" said jodha laughingly to which both jodha and mirza got a glare, mirza form hamida as he lied about his exams and jodha from jalal, they both looked at each other, but jodha removed her gaze leaving jalal confused.
"but mom , arjun bhai's wedding is there and these exams!!! so irritating" cribbed mirza to which jodha jumped in excitement as singhania's , were family friend of khan's, and arohi ahluwalia, soon to marry arjun singhania were friend with jodha's family, so arohi and arjun's wedding was like a main event for both the families.
"You are not going to the wedding not even for the engagement, you both will stay here and study, i will ask mum (jodha's mom) to be here with both of you" said jalal, eating his breakfast, jodha was initially shocked but later calmed herself as there was no benefit in arguing, she have to think something else, to which he can't deny, said jodha to herself and continued with her breakfast. Jalal glanced at jodha as she didn't said anything, nor made any fuss about the topic, he was pretty sure that something is going inside her brain, the trio had their breakfast and went to their respective places.
-AT THE SCHOOL-
jodha and mirza were sitting together in their regular place, last bench, beside jodha shivani was sitting with her friend, they both looked at each other and passed a genuine smile, jodha glanced the whole classroom and noticed something unusual, all the eyes were only at her, she felt a little conscious by the stares, sunaina was not liking this as she was not any more the centre of attraction, all the students were eager to know about jodha and jalal, who was most famous among the girls, sunaina reached near their seat and passed them a fake smile, jodha ignored her and resumed her talks with shivani.
"attitude? huh!" remarked sunaina in a filthy way forcing jodha to look at her
"my attitude your problem, your attitude my foot" said jodha simply as she never liked her, sunaina passed a glare to jodha and left the place.
"what happen? you look disturbed?" asked mirza to which jodha looked at him.
"umm, mirza how u comes to know that u are having a crush on someone or u know..." asked jodha looking at mirza who was stupidly grinning .
"hehe! itz simple, if a girl is hot, i m sure that i like her" said mirza to which jodha gave him a deadly glare, before mirza could say something, shivani came to her and gave her the date-sheet for exams, jodha looked at it and thanked shivani.
"i too don't have the date-sheet" said mirza to which shivani gave one to him too.
"naah!! i want yours" said mirza irking shivani.
"why?? are you special??" asked shivani in annoyance
"i am not special, i m just limited edition" added mirza to which shivani rolled her eyes.
"did it hurt when you fell?" asked mirza all out of sudden.
"what!!" asked shivani in confusion.
"when you fell from heaven" said mirza making jodha laugh but, shivani didn't looked at mirza, she was controlling herself to smile, how much she loves his lines,but noo!! she can't express her feelings to him, he is not that dream boy, whom she wanted to spend the rest of her life, he is a flirt, but she also can't stop herself from falling for him, she knows that he can't be serious for any relation, sometimes she feels jealous of jodha, as she was the first girl whom mirza showed care, may be because she and mirza are friends from childhood, but yes! mirza is the real friend of jodha, and can't never cheat her, jodha noticed the change of emotions on shivani's face, she knew that she liked mirza but the reason for her ignorance was just not clear to her,while mirza looked at jodha and then at shivani, both were lost in their thoughts.
"can i follow you home?" asked mirza breaking the silence between them.
"why?" asked shivani looking at jodha and then mirza.
"because my parents always told me to follow my dreams" said mirza to which jodha hitted his back lightly, before shivani or jodha could react anything, her classmates gathered around jodha.
"hey jodha!! soo??" said one of her classmate, so as to start a conversation, but jodha was just still in a condition of shock, as no one welcomed her with this good response, then why such care that too all in sudden?
"ummm! wh..what, so0?" asked jodha with a frown on her face, which was a clear sign of her confusion.
"come on jodha! we are like your friends only, now tell us naaa" forced one of her classmate, to which jodha looked at them like they would be aliens. "when did we became friends" this was the first thought which came in jodha's brain.
"i didn't understood what you are indicating at?" said jodha shaking her head in scepticism.
"babes, what is going between you and Mr. jalal?" asked one of her classmate suddenly, things were just settling in jodha's mind, that one more shocking dart came and hit her mind, it took time for her to settle all the things in her mind, she was not only shocked but was surprised too, firstly! her sudden thoughts about jalal which were coming in her mind was just disturbing her, this new kind of feeling was just suffocating jodha, she was not able to believe herself that how can she even think about him in that sense and secondly, these things were urging her mind to think about him again and again, now one more theory came in her mind "can she and jalal, ever be in any kind of relationship?" this thought forced jodha to think about it, she started imagining herself with jalal, but noo!! how can she even thing about these things, means they hate each other, didn't they?
"JODHA!! now there is no benefit in hiding it, come on speak up! we are not going to leave you" said someone of her class, all were busy asking her questions, no one noticed that she was going through a battle between her heart and her mind, her heart was just wanting her to think about jalal, he is not that bad, but the mind was just not letting her heart to win, her mind was saying that she is just thinking about jalal a lot, nothing can happen between them, she have to just divert her attention and thoughts from jalal to others, and if jalal would get to know about this, he will just make her life a living hell by teasing her and his non stop taunts, and how can she forgot that because of him, she left her home, her maa- papa, everyone, she left Delhi! where she lived, yes! it was also true that here, her best friend is with her, and how can she forgot, her dress! he made restrictions on her dressing too, noo!! she can't let him go that easily, she kept all the thoughts of her heart aside and the devilish mode of jodha switched on, she can't let jalal to live that easily, she loves to irritates him and if she is getting such a good chance, how can she lose it, jodha appreciated her mind and smirked at her own idea.
"how you came to know about it?" acted jodha in fake innocence, mirza looked at her, not knowing what is going in her mind now! while jodha was just loving this attention by all, she feel privileged, but she can't let jalal to know about all this so easily, yes! itz true that she wants to tease jalal but how can she forgot that if he gets to know about it, he will surely kill her, as soon as this thought came in her mind, she gulped in nervousness and fear, she was about to deny this fact, that is, she and jalal is in relationship, but alas!! it was too late for all these things now.
"we saw you both at the club, i mean, i never knew that he looks so hot in casual's, and when he embraced you, i mean picked you up in his arms, i was just imagining myself at your place. seriously girl, you are damn lucky" said piya, one of her classmate, whom jodha noticed now, piya was just in a dream state, jodha looked at her and then at mirza, but mirza just turned his head, as he can't help her in this matter, she did it herself, who told her to enter in such situation, her attack back fired her, jodha looked at all of them, they all were looking at her expecting an answer, now! there was no chance of denying or telling the truth as it will only insult her, she took a deep breadth, and decided to continue her act but the only thing she have to take care was that jalal should not find it, even in his dreams.
"ohkk!! but why should i tell you, you know i prefer secret relations, i don't want anyone to know about us" said jodha in attitude, a new attitude which was not there in her before, maybe the effect of jalal.
Her name was now associated with his, and this fact was giving her a kind of confirmation, she knew that she was not lying, they were married, isn't they? It would be illegal for all, but somewhere in her heart, she accepted that she came to Mumbai, not only as jodha khan or the daughter in law of the most respected Khan's but as Jalaluddin Muhammad's bride, and this fact gave an unknown confidence to her, to carry her partial lie , we can say that jodha was right in her place to carry out the lie, but it was still wrong somewhere, yes! they were married but love was not there, it was still to blossom.
"believe us we will not tell anyone, we all swear to god, that this little secret of ours will not go outside this classroom" assured jodha's new 'friends', jodha smiled teasingly and looked at mirza, who was just shaking his head indicating a big NO!! but to his ill-fate, jodha winked at him, which was more than enough for mirza to think that was is coming next.
"now!! what to tell all of you, there is nothing special to tell, like every story, mine love story too was very interesting, you know jalal is just soo sweet, i mean he is not like that 'akdu' types, he just represents himself like those, you know we first met at 'xyz' airport, i was going to Mumbai, so as to meet mirza, and he was also going there only , and the destiny was just trying to make us together, his seat was beside me, and you know what when he saw me, he was just not removing his gaze from me, i mean yes! i know i m beautiful but he was just acting like a despo, i was just thinking that how can a man be so desperate, and it reached to hight when he said "hiii!!!!" to me, and you know he said it with so much of excitement that it would torn my ear drums, i also said 'haan haan hi!' to him and from that time he is just behind me, you know flowers, chocolates, uff!! it was just so irritating, i tell you! he was just chanting the same thing - "be my girlfriend, be my girlfriend", and at last, finally i said yes to him, you know, he also sang "i love you" for me and..." jodha was just no where to stop but when she looked at the faces of her classmates, she was not able to continue her bragging, they all were not surprised! naah, not at all, they were looking at her in suspicion, they were dubious about whatever they listen, and why not! it was not true, she bragged a lot, and it was just "too much" to believe.
"WHAAATT???" asked jodha at last, she was scared of being caught, that too red handedly.
"jodha! don't you think that you are boasting a lot? i mean 'the business tycoon' would sing 'i love you', moreover, would behave like a road side Romeo, itz too much to digest jodha" said her classmates, jodha looked at mirza, who was just suppressing his laughter, jodha didn't knew that she boasted 'too much',now only one question which came in her mind - what to do but one thing was clear, she can't back off at this point.
"do you know! whom you are talking to, you are saying that i am not jalal's girlfriend, wait!! you all will get a proof when he will marry me when i will turn 18." said jodha to which all burst out in laughter, jodha tilted her head in confusion, "ain't they going to marry when she will turn 18", she asked herself in confusion.
"jodha!! you are such a bragger, why would he marry you, i mean it is just nearly impossible" said piya, making jodha angry, they are already married and here she is saying it is impossible.
"he is madly in love with me, do you get it" said jodha in full angry mood, she was about to leave when one of her classmate stopped her.
"If it is true, then prove us that you both are in relation" said sunaina, jodha was beyond shocked hearing it, there, jalal never said a sweet word to her and here she is saying to prove it, jodha don't know what to do and the continuous voice of her classmates to 'prove it' was just adding nervousness but she can't say 'no' now.
"ohk!! i will prove it, give me some time" said jodha and walked out of the classroom, all were shocked as they believed that she was lying, all were now eagerly waiting to see the 'proof' of jodha, on the other side, saying mirza was shocked, it would be an understatement, he had no clue that what will jodha do now, she always invites troubles not by mistake but by searching it.
Jodha was nervously walking through the corridors ,biting her nails in nervousness.
"oh kanha, plz do something, what i have done, seriously, i m a stupid, now what will i do, i have told them that me and that pagloo is in relation but why that sunaina demanded a proof, now how i will prove them... i also can't tell that khadus to come and pick me up...kanha, now only u can do something, plz naa kanha, make that pagloo to come here naa, i will do anything" as jodha was busy in her self talk she didn't noticed the 'board of wet floor', and she got the prize of her carelessness, she slipped on the floor, wounding her leg, and as soon as she realised what happened, she started screaming loudly, which made everyone to look at the source of noise, jodha's classmates also reached there, they looked at each other and giggled, jodha frowned looking at them,and they all left giving their 'useless' comments.
"kanhaa, i told u to help me not to punish me" screamed jodha in pain, it was not a severe accident but jodha screamed like she was dying, all gathered around her, and some children went to inform teacher, mirza too reached there and looked at jodha who was sitting on the floor holding her leg
"jodha!! what happen??" asked mirza in panic, he was searching jodha so as to know what is her plan about the 'proof incident'.
"nothing! i am just enjoying my ice-cream can't you see my leg is no more, i broke my leg, i broke my leg" cried jodha, mirza took her for the medical need, he called hamida but her number was busy, at last, he called jalal who was busy in his work.
"hello bhai" said mirza nervously, jalal looked at the number and it was of mirza only, but it was his school hours then how can he take his mobile in school.
"why the hell you carried your mobile to school?" asked jalal entering his cabin.
"bhaii!! leave this, you know..." mirza was about to speak further but jalal interrupted him in between.
"why we should leave this, because of your this nature, you always scores low in exams and i am damn sure that idiot is with you" said jalal taking his one file and was just leaving to meet ruqiaya for some college work.
"bro, jodha fractured her leg" said mirza in one go as jalal was not letting him to speak. Jalal was just about to enter his car when mirza's words stopped him to proceed, this girl never misses a chance to give tension to jalal.
"what the hell, where is she now?" asked jalal in a rude voice, mirza answered his question and jalal rushed to school, jalal don't know why but he just was anguished, angry on jodha for doing such things that let her in trouble, it was his responsibility to take care of her, he was irked by mirza's behaviour, he was with jodha so as to protect her, this was the main motive of jodha's admission in the same school in that of mirza, everything was just irking him, the traffic on the road was just increasing his irritation and the tenseness for jodha, he was not sure why he was taking care of jodha,why he was worried about her, why he just thinks about her well being, he was confused that why he was doing all this, but at last he gave the name of this confusion of his as his responsibility.
