Hey here is the mew chapter...this also has Salim's POV.
Chapter 6 One of the wonders of the Era... Jodha.
Abu... that was smart of you... everyone thought you were giving away that Vase to him... but you just fooled him with his own trick I admired Abu's intelligence.
I'd never give that vase Salim... even if there is too much need to give it. He said.
Why? Is it so special.??I asked him.
She gave it to me and I had roses in them... Pink, Red, Yellow, Orange, White and arranged beautifully. He said.
So sweet of her Abu... When? I asked him... cause he usually does not put her things in front of him.
On my birthday... her gift was the feeling of knew understanding Salim...neither the vase nor the flowers... understanding. He said with wisdom.
But... seriously? You made the day... that someone might be all foiled and the Farmer might be so happy... Who taught you so well Abu? I asked him while praising him.
Of course... Bhabhijaan inspired him... to use more that the brains he has... because she was in a habit of fooling him around so he learnt to fool other from her. A voice came behind... Mirza Chachu... so sweetly.
Yeah!!! She was the only one who managed to fool me... everytime... since childhood. Abu told us.
Since childhood???!!! You met her before too I asked him...
His story is more intresting than any random Lalia and Majnu story. Because it has some cuteness in itself... even though I just knew the start. Oh! how could i forget... I'll surely know the continuation of his story.
Salim... I'll tell you later... some day else. He said trying to stop his son from asking anything else.
Fine... well now we go out and wander in the city right? I knew him well... he loves going in the city around his people.
Yeah... Right... so you're up? He asked me.
I'll surely come Abu I told him.
And we rided to the city. Abu loves Agra... his Abode Heaven... HIs people love him very much... and would do... he is Akbar the Great for them.
Abu... I just wanted to ask that why do you love Agra so much than any other place of the Sultanate? I asked him curiously.
Because it gave me the medicine to the wound my family gave me... It gave me sweet when times were bitter... It gave me shelter when I was homeless... It is my capital... It is my Heaven... I feel like so happy here surrounded by people who love me a lot. He said while explaining.
But... the main point is you come here everyday because you have her memories everywhere around Agra... I don't know why you both are separated but I understand that you can still remember sound of her anklets... and cose you miss her so much... You can't even sleep at night peacefully... because you had peace only with her. See smarter than you... I understand you more than anyone else. I replied to him proudly.
Not more than her. He said and smirked.
Today you proved that You are her and her only not me!!!! sad. He said again.
Abu... you always do that look everyone fall on your smirk ... I think Ammi would have gone mad at you when you smirk because all the rest of the begum fall to your sight to get your attention... I know... Curse this smirk of your Abu. Allah will punish you for troubling you so sweet and cutest son. I told him.
Ah!! You see I am the only person who is the most happiest when you get angry and jealous!!! See that is why I am the best. Abu said flustering about himself.
Omg!! Abu that was bad of you ... is that the Jalal Returns??? Pls come on pls Abu don't make me cry out of helplessness... Sitting besides you makes me less admirable as you just keep looking even maore cute... That's why I guess ammi used to get angry when you talk to others flawlessly and you are just bold you don't see Ammi's point on heart to make her jealous... So that is why she would have treated you as her personal belonging!!!! I explained to him in a big speech. But still Abu is Abu he'll never change completely.
But still she never thought of me... and left me alone. And think I wanted to change and today you proved why she left me. He said regretting.
Abu this is the reason why she wanted to cry... because she thought you were just hers but she realised that you can never be only her Shenshah... but the Emperor of Hindustan... Her love was the reason she left you Abu. I tried to comfort him.
You... know that? How do you know. He asked me suspiciously.
My game was up... I had to tell what was going on.
Because I guess She tried to explain me !!! I told him unwillingly.
She ... who? Jodha would never do that... She told you but did not even write to me. He was a minute a little angry on her.
Not Ammi... Nadira... She wrote me. She left Agra two days ago... SHe wrote me and Hoshiyaar saw a soldier coming with a letter... he was telling this to Choti Ammijaan when I over heard their conversation... SHe know that her letter would be first read by Badi dadijaan so she wrote secretly in secret code... She wanted me to understand why she left me... and It stuck me the best reason why she left me... Abu pls tell where Ammi is.. I want to see her... I don't even remember her face or anything about her... can you tell me about her. I asked him.
Sit back on the horse... I want to show you something. He said.
Show what Abu? I asked him.
Just come. He said.
Abu led me to a different place ... I think it was some different place.
Jalal's Pov.
I led to the most beautiful place... but only I and Jodha knew what it ment to us.
Salim... Love was beyond my reach... I just knew that She became an important person in my life... i don't know but her word on me always affected me... what she thinks about me bothers me ... She was something too different... Childish but mature... loving but strong opposition... Sweet but bitter... harsh but smooth... SHe was some thing like a two edged dagger. Different from all the women. I told him.
Abu... think for a second Ammi would have broken down. I thought.
She did not utter a word... silence was ringing between us. I told him.
We reached the place... it had a waterfall which make a pond which recharges the ground water in the lakes. I led him down...evn today I can still remember her beautiful cheerful smile when she came here... and her silence when we shared our last moment... She gave me courage to stay for a better cause.
Behind the waterfall there was a small cave... It had door of stone. Only I knew how to open it. It had a small lock.
I opened the door... The chest was there... and had cobwebs...proving I never opened it.
Abu what is in that chest? Salim asked me.
Her belongings... I stored them here... when rest of them wanted me to throw it away... but my heart never allowed me to do that... Her memories her last belonging. I told him... I opened the chest.
Salim rubbed of cobwebs and found a small anklet(Payal)... He took that and a smile appeared on his face. Then he saw a beautiful locket... It had ruby in it. I was beautiful. He then took out a paper... he opened it.
That letter ended our precious sympathy for me. I told him while he read that letter.
Salim put it down and began looking in that chest again...He found a paint brush..and a palate in them.
I used to love painting when I was young... She wanted that of mine as to feel that something special of my worst memories. I told him.
Why did you stop painting Abu? He asked me.
After my Abu's death... I left all my old things and got up with the Siyasaat... and then never opened it... She took it saying that one of my memories of Childhood was with her and she would love to keep it. I told him.
THen did you ever paint anything? He asked me.
Look in the chest you'll find a piece of cloth in it... look in it. I told him.
He found and took out the cloth when he opened it...
Mashallah!!! Abu you painted so well... just amazing... who is he? He asked me looking into that painting ... I drew a potrait of a warrior...who always amused me with his bravery...the first Rajput ever in my heart.
He is Prithviraj Chauhan... his bravery and fighting skills always amused me. He was said to be the only warrior who was so amazing on the battlefield that all the rest stopped and kept looking at his skills. I told him.
Abu... you told you didn't like Rajputs and you kept one of them in your chest!!He asked ... curious to know everthing.
Khan Baba used to say that the only Rajput I must admire and believe superior should be him... He used to believe that I am his recreation...but that was just nonsense. I told him.
Abu... truly you are like him... the same bravery... Mughal were rumored to be coward and take wrong way and fight with some kind of back plan to kill him and plotted secretly against one. But you proved to the Hindustan that even Mughals are brave hearted and don't attack from the back. You too are so good at sworfighting. He praised me.
He looked again and found a glass and a hookah pipe..and mouth piece.
This was yours? You used to drink? and smoke too? He asked me.
One of my likes which i left after getting away from her. And I smiled at him.
Finally the chest was empty.
We returned back.
Abu... everyone praises Ammi a lot was she so nice? He asked me.
You are asking me... look at yourself Salim... look carefully you'll surely see her in yourself. You have her eyes... her smile... he habits and you got her goodness by birth. I told him.
And bythe way... did you get any letter else from you lover? He said sarcastically.
Abu pls She is my love. but don't say it that way... Please!!He said... too possessive.
Salim... I never tried to enquire about her because I wanted to move on... She left you in my care and I gave her a promise that I'll not let anything happen to you. I told him.
Abu please continue your story... you were till ... That you both were fighting those attackers and moved forward for Ajmer... pls continue.
BACK AGAIN
I am tired...I never walked so much... It has been an hour since we have been walking Shenshah...am tired can we sit down. She asked me.
Why tired so soon? Its just half an hour away Jodha Begum. from there we'll get the troops. I told her.
She was tired and sat on a stone. She drank water and took a deep breathe and started walking again.
Waise Shenshah... You know I tried to learn some sword fighting from Bhaisa... he is very good at it... He also defeated that devil beast who tried to misbehave with Moti and Reva... Devil... I hate him... he even looks scary and ugly... that monster... you would know him... Haan he is your brother that devil Adham Khan. She said on my face.
Actually can't deny... he behaves badly with women and also troubles people but he's my half brother ... we grew up together. I told him.
He looks as though he'll eat me up... beast. If I get a chance then i'll cover his face and hit him so much that he can't even get up without others help. How does he dare say anything to my frnds... Monster... any ways just like you are such a creap and a freak to live with... I'll start to Hate Bapusa too for this. It hit me. SHe was insulting me in front of me and to me.
You daren't say anything else about me. I warned her.
Like am scared of you and your devilious warnings!! So sarcastic of me to be scared of you. You can do nothing to me or else you'll pay for it later... I'll make your life a living hell.She said and smiled evilly.
Oh!! So my new begum is threatening me wow!!! Seems interesting of you Jodha Begum... you dare to say bad about me to me and then you try to threaten me!! Great what else you'll say? I said sarcastically.
I don't care about any of your nonsense warnings. You can't forget your promise neither you can leave me here. She proved her point.
How do you forecast that? I asked her.
Learnt about you Mr. most devilious and the only person to with is a hell like thing!! I can scan through you mind... Shenshah. She told with an assurance.
Oh wow!! I am so great that you understand working of my brains.!! Sweet! I said.
Wow... Shenshah and his begum alone in some place!!! A good place to leave you rottening Jalal. A voice came... a horse and devilious.
Without even looking behind I said Welcome Abu Mali... I was thinking that you didn't come to welcome me... Glad to have you Mr my behenoi... So whats up? Hope your fine. Am just perfect. I told him and stood up.
Ah!! what a beautiful begum Jalal? Nice choice.. but sad... She'll now be mine. He said in the most devilious manner.
Go to Hell... What do you think about yourself... You freaking mad and uncivilised and most stupid person in the world... thinks twice before saying anything about me ... get that... and mind your own business... you have come to fight with him then do that... don't make me angry or else i'll kill you and you'll go home in a closed box and be digged in the soil... cose Muslims dig a pit and put them in a box and i think it is called a Kabr...isn't it? We both looked at her...strangely.
Aren't you scared of me girl?... I am going to have you beauty. He said.
In your dreams Mr. ... you think you'll defeat this person in front of ... It took me over 6 days to come up with how he killed the soldiers... he's merciless ... Thats why i can't believe him that he'll leave you alive if he gets even a scratch because of you. She said.
We both were stuck with loss of words...SHe had a point I don't like to see blood oozing out of my body.
Cool!!! You know me so well? But how did you know that? I asked her.
I know... you are really rebellious ... you are merciless... so ungreatful of you.
