Thandi hawayen
Some banjarans were singing melodically
Jalal slowed down his speed ...he was on a small plateaued
Ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha
La la la la la, hm hm hm hm hm

Down on the road on some distance he saw some people, so he put his horse in that direction
enchase of voice.
Chaand aur taare, hanste nazaare

Thandi hawayen, lehra ke aaye

Suddenly the BarQ neighed loudly ...glass reflections were disturbing him ... Jalal also squinted his
eyes to saw down on road through these flashes
What he sees, a palanquin and a waving hand with red glass bangles reflecting gleam in sun. An
another palanquin cleared the view of first one
Now jalal was seeing
A girl with a golden complexion and golden smile was behind the shades of palanquin
Now He was parallel to the caravan , upward on plateaued ... He was keep looking tht girl in t
trance ... The thin curtain of palanquin was keep moving by wind giving clear view of that golden
beauty with sparkling big black innocent eyes ...her jet black long hairs were bothering her in air
which she kept tucking behind her ears while smiling , god knows for what?
She was almost the same age may be little bit yonger or older than mughal prince him self ...
Her wheat golden complexion, big black sparkling and smiling eyes, her jet black long hairs and
above all her innocent smile taking jalal's breath away. The girl was not wearing any jewlery... Just
red glass bangles and and rajput signature round silver maang tika with a simple red and mustard
golden outfit
This was a Caravan, so moving slow so the jalal's horse. Luckily jalal was wearing simple outfit too,
so no one was noticing him for real. Jalal noticed the road is turning so the plateaued on which
towards the camp area of yatris .
After some time caravan reached to its destination ...jalal was on height little far from them
There were two palkis in caravan ... In, front one that mahjabeen was sitting and in another one a
well groomed girl.
Jalal was keep looking the smiling beauty whose smile and hairs are not in her control.
On other side when princes's friends reached on winning point, they didn't find him so they came
after him .
"Sahib e alam "
Abdul called him from his staring.
Jalal was aware of their presence, but he didn't stop his fun
They all also seeing in the same direction to know what their prince is looking for.
"Abdul, zain,!! "
Jalal turned at once to them
'Tum dono jaa kar maloom karo kis ka kafila hae'
He pointed towards the unloading caravan
"J0 hukum shehzade"
Both nodded obediently
"Koi shahi kafila nazar ata hae"
Abdul commented
"Koi parcham (flag) tau hae nahi hae na hi sipahi hain "
Adham said with slight amusement
Jalal frowned
"Parcham nahi hae tau kia hua ... Yah jo sab log hain yah tarbiyat yafta siphai hain ...in ki chaal aur
hao bhao bata rahe hain "
Abdul and zain turned their horses
"Aur suno ...!"
Jalal stopped them
"Ham nhi chahte, in ko maloom ho kay koi in pr nazar rakh raha "
"Hukum ki tameel ho ge shahzade... In ko bikul pata nhi chale ga kay kisi ney in ki maloomat li hain"
"Mae bhi chalta hu tum dono kay sath "
Adham said while straightening his horse
"NAHI !!"
Jalal raised his hand. He was glaring adham khan dangerously
Adham gulped
Every one surprised on princes's sudden off mood.
"Tum hamare saath mahal chalo ..."
Jalal said to adham then turn to zain and adbdul
"aur tum dono hamey mahal mae milna "
"Khuda hadiz"
Jalal said in full and final tone
"Khuda hafiz shehzade alam"
Abdul and zain bowed their head little and turn to leave
Adham was thinking to talk his mother ... Today it is second time jalal insulted him infront of his
friends
---------------II------------------
jodha's kafila reached to camp in dehli . Bhagwan daas already done all the arrangements.
Rashmi and she came out from their palkis
"Bhai sa kaha hain ... He asked moti, her dasi cum best friend
"kunwar sa, kunwar ratan singh kay mitr kay saath "
Moti pointed towards bhagwan daas, who was talking to young man of almost his age at side of
camp
Jodha walked towards her brother, bhagwan daas looking like, he was in argument with other person
Bhagwas daas saw jodha coming towards him, he smiled to her
"Bhai sa parnam ..."
"Parnam, Kesi ho behna .."
He said and put his hand on her head lovingly
"Achi hu... "
Then she looked towards the other guy and told her brother about him
"Yah raman kumar sa hain .. hame ajab garr kay raste mae milay thae ... Raj kumar ratan singh kay
mitr hain ."
"Haan yah hamrey bhi mitr hain ..gurukul mae hamre saath thae "
Bhagwas daas said with gritted teeth
Jodha little surprised on his reaction towards his friend but didn't say
"Acha bhai sa ham kheme mae jate hain ...tanik Thak gae hain ."
"Haan tum jao abhi ham yahi hain... kuch vishram kar lo"
Jodha went to her tent to freshen up and rest
Bhagwas daas turned to raman kumar...
"Raj kumar ratan singh yah kia parhiyaas hae"
"Ek tau aap rajkumari heer kunwar kay saath yaha tak agae , phir apni phechan bhi ghalat batai..."
He was really mad at his friend
"Kunwar bhagwan daas aap bewaja hi itna krodit ho rahae hain ... Ham rajkumari ko aise srf chand
seniko kay saath nahi jane de sakte thae ... Isi liye phechaan badal kar un kay saath chale aye ..."
Raman kunwar who was actually kunwar of ajab gadd and fianc of jodha said with frown
Bhagwan daas sighed
"Par babu sa ko yah kada bhi uchit nahi lage ga aur aap nae apne pita sae anumati li thi kia ?"
"Ham ko apni hone wali patni ki raksha karne kay liye kisi ki anumati ki awashatta nhi hae..."
"Aur maharaj ko ham samjha lenge .. pitashri ko yah awashe pata hae kay ham radha kishan
mandir ki yatra ko gae hain "
"Sahi hae phir bapu sa sae khud hi baat kar lena ham un ko bata denge aap bhes badal kar
rajkumari kay kafila kay saatn aye hain "
...
Back I n palace
Wali ahed and his mates entered in to palace ... Jalal gave reins to his horse to zain khan...
bairam khan was waiting jalal ...out side his quarters
"Shahzade,"
jalal does salam to hiss ataleeque
"Assalam o alakum khan baba "
other boys also greet khane khana..
Bairam khan nods to them with frown on his face ... He doesn't like prince's companions much
"Kaha gaye thae aap shahzade... Hame bata tau dia kejiye"
BairM khan was little annoyed
"Zara ghud sawari kay kiye gYe thae khan baba... farmaeyye kia baat hae .."
Jalal also replied seriously
Bairam khan galred jalal's friend but they didn't move ...jalal waved his hand and they just moved at
once from there. Jalal saw bairam khan inquiringly
"Shahzade , jaha panha nae mahmaan rajao, mansabdaro or dusre hukamrano ko ishaeyye (formal
dinner) ki dawat di hae... Aap ki maujudgi (presence) ab aesi moqo (events) par zaroori hae...Aap
wali ehed e sulatanat hae"
Jalal sighed ... He promiseD ruqayya, that he will come in zanana for dinner ..
"Ji kaan baba ham zaroor shamil honge.."
Jalal knows he has no choice
Bairan khan Noded then put his hand on prince shoulder
"Jalal, "
He come more near to prince and said on very low tone
"kal tulu e aftab (sun rising ) kay waqt ham nae ek mughbir ( spy, guptchar) se jamuna kinare
milna hae ... Ham chahte hain aap bhi waha maujud rahe "
Jalal got thrilled he always like adventures more than court
" ji khan baba zaroor , ham zaroor aye gae ..."
Bairam khan smiled , he knows his student well
" wese kis cheez ki khaber dega who.."
"Yah aap ko kal hi pata chale ga shehzade...aur mughbari kese hoti hae ,... Mughbir khaber kese
dete hain yah bhi sahi sae jaan payenge aap "
Jalal nods ...
" acha ham chalte hain "
Aap shaam to sahi waqt par phohanch jaeyega
Bairam kah. Left from there
Jalal looked for his friend they were all were standing near to his portion ... They alao saw, prince is
looking for them so they come to him At once ...
"Sahib e alam, kia farma rahe thae khan e khana"
Adham asked
" shamm ko abba hazoor ki taraf sae ishyeye ki dawat hae mehmaan subedari aur hukumrano
ki ...usi kay bare mae bata rahe thae..Zaheer!"
He called for zaheer at once at the end of sentence
"Ji, ji sahib e alam"
"Tum apni hamsheera (sister... Zaheer sister is roohi , who is one of friends and ladies of ruqayya)
ko pegham bhijwa do ... Ham aaj zanana mae raat ka khana khane zanana nahi asakey gae"
"Jo hukum shehzahde"
Zaheer bowed and left to send message to his sister ...every one knows the message is for
shehzadi ruqayya in real ...but this was their custom to not mention their ladies specially wifes and
sister among friends nor they dare to say name of prince's sisters and wifes's name infront of him .
Jalal turned to enter his quarters... Adham, aZiz followed him ...
"Aur tum log yahi roko... "
Jalal stopped at the entrance
"Hamri Tadrees ( sabaq, education ) ka waqt ho gaya ... "
"Abdul aur zain ko hamri tadrees ghah ( class room or study) mae hi bhej dena "
He ordered to his friend and went to change his outfit ...abdul momin was him , abdul momin and
abdul attend classes with him ... his atalique for geography, , history, is about to come. Every day
prince spent some hrs in taking lectures In history, geography, politics, fiqa, shariat and religion for
some hrs by different tutors ... Jalal more like to listen and discuss things from his friends abdul
momin, abdul and his life partner ruqayya and of course from his khan baba bairam khan and
his foster mother maham anga ... Whome he some time calls ammi or some time maha anaga... He
doesn't enjoy lectures given by most of his teacher, who are arranged by khan babab and his shah
baba shahnsha humayu ...
And jalal hates to do things what he not enjoys... ... But ofcourse he cant say No to his shah baba
so he really irritates his teachers. Which is his another fun.
In jodha camp
Jodha and bhagwan das sitting in jodha tent ... Jodha freshened up and changed her outfit but she
is still in comparatively simple dress ... She doesn't like to dress so lavishly while traveling.
Bhagwan daas was telling her about the competitions..
"Bhai sa aap nae tau amer ki naak hi katwadi ek mughal rajkumar sae prajit ho gaye."
jodha was really disappointed. She thinks rajputs and ameris should best in all.
Bhagwan frowned ... He about to say but jodha again started
"Suja mal bahi sa hote tau.. Maza chakha dete us mughal ko."
Suja mal got really angry on this statement ... Jodha also realized she crossed the line ...
She makes a sorry face ... pats her head
"Shama kar dejiye bahi sa ... Hamara woh ...ham bhi na bina soche baat karte hae"
bhagwan das knows very well how much his sister attached with suja mal...he sighed
"Aesi baat nahi hae jodha ... Mughal raj kumar jalal u din har yudh kaushal mae bohat hi nipun
hae... Aur ham bhi bas un sae kuch hi kam rahe ... "
Jodha sees her brother surprisingly on his straight forwardness... Bhagwan daas smiled
"Behna, Sacha yodha wohi hota hae jo auro ki gunho ko sweekar kare aur apni kamiyo ko sahi kare"
jodha hung her head in regression
" ji bhai sa .. Aap sahi kah rahe hae ..,ham hi bhahvuk ho jate hain"
She said slowly and innocently and bhagwan das smiled on her innocence ...
"Bhai sa, aaj aap nahi jaye , hamre pass hi ruk jaye"
Jodha said hopefully
"Bhehna..."
" Who mughal samrat nae shaam ko ratri kay bhojan kay liye sabhi rajao ko amantirat kiya hae...
Babu sa ka adesh hae kay ham upastit rahain."
Jodha makes disappointed face ...
"Chalo theek hae ... Bhagwan daas smiled "
"Ham babu sa ko khehelwa dete hain ... He got up and went out from tent to send message to raja
bharmal "
Bhagwan daas just missed abdul who was there a minut ago. He came there as clark from yatra
administration to talk... Zain was just a boy he left behind to cover abdul ...
---------
In the dehli qila in evening jalal is getting ready for dinner ... Maham anga is helping him with other
maids ...he is wearing royal blue silk angarkah with gold and brown borders and off white abaa
( jama ) with gold and brown work Jalal really doesn't want to go ... Atleast it is showing from his
bored expressions... Maham was noticing his disinterest while giving him pearl necklace
"Kia baat hae jalal ... Kuch bezar dikhae de rahe hain "
Jalal bowed his head and maham made him wear the necklace
"Nahi aisi tau koi baat nahi ..."
and with his tone maham got , there is really some thing
She smiled knowingly
"Aap ka mann nahi kar raha jane ka "
Jalal sighed
"Aisi baat nahi hae ... Magar ... "
Jalal thinks for while ,.
"Who ham nae rukayya se kaha tha ... Raat ka khna ham zanane mae khaye gain"
Maham gritted his teaath ... sHe hates the closeness of jalal and ruqaYya ... She actually doesn't
want anyone to become near to jalal except she and her son adham ...
Maham hides her feeling and gives naughty expression
"Achaa..!! Tau yah baT hae ... Bai milne mae tau koi harj nahi ..mankooha (a girl for man from
whome nikah has already done) hae apki shezdai sahiba ...khamoshi se jaa kar mil sakte hae aap
un kae hojre mae ... Magar un ki anna tau bahi ... "
She laughed sarcastically ...
Jalal saw her confusingly ..
Maham sees his expression with corner of her eyes
"Nahi ... Mera matlab hae ... Anga tau ham bhi aap ki hain ... Aap ki nawazish(thanks , ahsaan,
humility) hame itni izzat dete hae ... Mager shehzadi ki anna tau unki malik hi bann bhethi hain"...
Jalal frowned ... with discomfort
"Acha maha anga ham chalte hain ... Phele abba hazzor ke pass jayenge ... Un hu nae yaad kia
hae "
"Ji sahib e alam..."
Maham bowed her slightly and smirked with crook smile
She knows ... She is the one who always taunts ruqayya's anna tht she tries to arrange jalal and
ruqayya private meetings and when jalal will talk to ruku abt anna ... It will definitely cause little rift
btw them atleast shehzadi will feel bad and for now it is enough for maham ...
Jalal came out from his chambers portion... His friends were already waiting for him out side .
They all straightened and greeted him seeing their master coming to him
Prince also nodded to them. they all were also dressed up although they were not attending the
actual dinner.
Abdul and zain already gave their reports to jalal... According to them that caravan has 2 rajput
girls who are daughters of samant of amer rajya or atleast one of them ... Abdul was little suspicious
because amer prince bhagwN daas was there. Jalal is thinking to talk bhagwan daas this evening.
"kia baat kar rahe thae tum log"
Jalal asked casually while walking towards his father compartments
Adham khan gulped like the talk was about him ... Every one also eyeing towards adham... Jalal
stopped in btw
" koi khaas baat ...?"
Jalal tone was demanding
Abdul sighed
" who sahib e alam adham khan bata raha tha jab aap ka ghora astabal mae lene gaya tha
dopeher (afternoon) ko tau ... Kisi anjan shakhs kay saath aap ka sayes (horse care taker ) baat
kar raha tha."
Abdul was little indefinite
"Bass...??"
Jalal looked at adham inquiringly
"Jj..jii shahzade... Bas who kuch garbda gae thae hame dekh kar aur shahi astabal mae kisi anjan
shakhs ko ane ki ijazat bhi nahi ... Bass isi liye..."
adham stuttered
"Hmm... Afghan tha who ?"
Jalal asked suspiciously
" afghan hi tha ... Who aap kay astabal ka sayes, jumma khan bhi tau afghan hae ... Ham nae
phoocha tha jumma khan se ... Us nae kaha us ka am zaad (chachaa zaad) hae aur gujrat kay
sultan mahmood shah kay ghodo ka sayes (horse care taker) hae ... "
In the mean time they reached near the emperors quarters... So they all stopped ...
"Theek hae tum log hamara intezar karo ... Ham shah baba kay paas hain kuch der Kay liye"
Jalal asked his friends to wait him near the kings portions ... From certain boundary no one can
enter or even stand near tht boundary from certain distance with out permission or authority ...whole
portion was guarded heavily..
He entered in to the kings portion ... imperial Guards there bowed down for their prince ... Jalal
nods slightly and went inside his fataher's rooms .
-----ii------
In the imperial stable, inside the adjacent room ... four men talking actually whispering
"Yah shahzade kay hojre kay hifazati dastae (security squad) kay libaas hain"
Jumma khan the caretaker of shahzada jalal's horses ...handed over some cloths to these men
They hold them from jumma ...they are black cloths with red over coat and head gear with silver
lining on coat
"Aur dekho dihaan rahe ... Jab shahzade apne hojre mae chale jaye tab jaa kar bohat hoshiyari
sae, un kay kamre kay bahir taeenaat (aassembled) sipahiyo ko behosh karna hae ... Shahzade
kay aney sae phele agar tum waha hoge tau shahzade phehchan jayenge "
Jumma khan instructed them
" haan haan theek hae jumma khan ... Ham apna kaam jante hain ... Yah tau bacha hae ham nae
bade bade surmayo ka kaam tamam kia hAe... "
One of three men replied arrogantly
"Ahista bolo Tum ... Itna bade bade bol na bolo ... Bohat hi ahtiyaat (carefullness) ki zaroorat
hae ...yah kaam itna asaan nahi jitna tum samajh rahe ho"
"Tum apna kaam dehaan sae karo... Tum nae hame bataya tha yaha koi shahi mehal sae nahi
ata ... Khadim aur ghulam akkar goda le jate hain aur wohi shahi khandan aur ameero sae godhe le
kar stable mae Ate hain ... Aur who shehzade ka dost kese aya yaha... Tum nae kaha tha astable
sab sae zayda mehfooz jagha hain ... "
The leader of hit men said bitterly to jumma khan
A
ll three of them already changed their out fits
"Bhai zyada tar tau aisa hi hota hae...aur Who adham khan ... Dimagh nani hae uska ... Kuch nahi
samjh mae aya joga ... Nahi tau abhi tak peshi (call) ho chuki hoti ... Lekin ab ham astabal kay yah
saath kay kamre mae baat karenge ...astabal mae nahi ..
Jumma khan explained ...
" tum log Suraj ghoroob honey kay baad jana ... Andhere mae koi tum logo kay chehre nahi
phechane ga... Aur yaad rahe ... jab shehzada shab basri (night spent) ... Kay liye apni khuab gah
chale jaye ..tab hi karwai (action) karna ..."
"Fikar na karo jumma khan ...inshallah Aaj ham apna kaam khatam kar lenge ... Khamoshi sae yah
ajayenge bas tum hamare ghode tayyar rakhna...
Hit man assured jumma. Khan
"4 ghode ham phele tayar kar chuke hain... "
Jumma khan told them meaning fully and the hit men startled
"4 kiun ... Tum tau yahi rehne walay thae na takey shak hindu rajao par bhi jaa sake ... Tum bhaag
gae tau yah baat saaf ho jaegi kay tum is sazish mae mullawis ho aur tum afghan ho "
The man was little loud in desperation
Jumma khan smilled ..
" adham khan bewakoof he par itna bbi nahi ... Shehzade kay qatal kay baad usko yaad ajayega
kay ... Gujrat kay sultan mehmood sha kay sayes ko us nae yaha dekha tha ... "
Other men also smiled in realization ...
"Aur phir sara shak gujrat or mehmood shah ki taraf jaega ... Hamare sultan ka kisi ko khayal nahi
ayega "
The man added with crook laugh ... other men also followed him in his laugh .. Today's night was
very hard for the mughal heir ...shahzada jalal u din mohammmad, ... or may be it will be his last
night .
In the big lavish hall ... all the guests were already there ... now mughal emperor humayu and his
son shehzada jalal u din are about to come .
"Ba adab... ba mulaeza... Tajdar e mughal sultanat ... Noor e babri , waris e nasl e taimuri
"Shahansha e hind mirza Naseer u din mohammad humayu aur farzand e shahansha , wali ahed e
salatanat ...shazada aali muqaam mirza jalal u din mohammad tashreef late hain "
With that announcement, all the people ...every body in the hall stood up ... Mansabdars,
subedaars , ministers, generals and other officers of mughal sultanat bowed down and did farshi
salam with the enters of their sovereigns... Rajas and other rulers of aliened states did namaskar
and adab in their own respective dignified ways...
Humayu was in front and right behind was jalal and bairam khan ...
Emperor nodded briefly to his subjects and greeted his guests with diplomatic smile on his face.
Bairam khan was looking every one keenly with his experienced hawk eyes... Very young and
enthusiastic Jalal eyes were observing every body and every thing interestingly without looking
here and there... It was his part of imperial training ... As diplomat as ruler he should not let people
to know from his face his eyes what he is thinking ... Particularly don't let any one to know his
emotions until he wants.
All the people took their seats after emperor and prince sat on their respective seats on little higher
pedestal .
Bairam khan was sitting near jalal... Shahnsha humayu was also talking with prince and
ambassador of marawar
Jala was looking towards raja bharmal in search of bhaghwan daas..bairam khan noted his prince's
discomfort
"Sahib e alam ,"
He whispered
Jalal looked at his mentor
"Kia hua shehzade ... "
He asked slowly
Jalal looked again towards amer people
"Khan baba, ham amer ky raj kumar, kunwar bhagwan das ko dekh rahe hain ... Who kahi dikhai
nahi de rahe "
Bairam also looked towards ameris
"Hamara khayal hae who nahi hain yaha ... "
Bairam khan replied while looking here and there
"Aap kahe tau ham amer kay raja shib sae daryaft (inquire) karte hain"
Bairam begum to get up ... When jalal stopped him
" nahi khan baba ... Who nahi hain yaha tau jo baat ham nae un se karni thi ab un kay walid sae
karenge"
Jalal said while taking sip of water
Bairam khan startled on this... He thought jalal likes the amer prince so wanted to make him his
friend and so, but to talk amer king must be not casual ... Amer is not part of mughal
sultanat ...although it is much smaller state and mostly oblige to support mughal emperors since the
time of raja bharmal father raja prithvi raj and humayu's father shahansha babar ..but still ..it is an
independent state and his king is an independent king .
In the mean time emperor announce dinner to start. servants were serving foods on the little tables
infront of every seat ...
.
For rajput and other hindu kings like gawaliar naresh, amer naresh , raja of rewa , king of umer kot
and some other representative of sindh , marawar prince etc. the separate hindu severs who are
serving them acc to their taste and likings. Behind every king and raja the people from their
delegations are sitting according to their ranks
...
After dinner , when every one was hanging out casually ... Bairam khan got the prince
"Shehzade ... aap hame bataeye kia baat hae,..."
Bairam khan was requesting but his tone was ultimate and jalal knows his khan baba
He sighed
"Khan baba, who jo yatra kay liye log jama ho rahe hae aap kay ilm mae hae na" (in your
knowledge)
"Ji haan sahib e alam .. Aur jaha panha kay humkum sae mughal sultanat yatra ki poori
zimmedari utha rahi hae ... Kharch sae le kar hifazat tak..."
Bairam said with little confusion ...
"Magar aap kiun phooch rahe hain shehzade..kia baat hae"
Jalal looked down ...emperor was now chatting with king of rewa and gawaliar naresh ...
"Khan baba aaj sehpeher ko ek kafila akar ruka hae yatra mae shirkat karne kay liye... Kaifila mae 2
larkiya hain aur un kay khidmatgar aur muhafiz ... "
Jalal took a break for while and slightly looked at bharmal ...fine lines appeared on bairam khan
forehead but he didn't say any thing and waited for prince to finish first
Jalal pressed his lips...
"Hamre hisab sae who sab muhafiz... Tarbiyat yafta sipahi hain ...aam muhafiz aur kidmad gaar
nahi "
Bairam khan litterally jumed up... He was about to interrupt ... But jalal stooped him by raise his
hand and carried on
" ham nae abdul or zain khan koka ko bejha tha maloom karne ... Unhu nae akar bataya hae kay 1
larki amer kae 1 samant ki beti hae ... Pheli baat yah kay, kiun koi sipahi ya koi alam (nishan, flag)
nahi hae un kay paas... Doosri baat kay amer ka raj kumar bhagwan daas waha par tha ... Aur yaha
nahi hain ..."
"Magar ham nae yarta kay zimmedaar aur afsaran ko saaf saaf hukum bhejwaya than...kay koi bhi
shahi khanndan ya kisi khaas khandaan ka fard yatra mae shirkat kare tau hame bataya jae ..takey
unki hifzat ka alag sae intezam karain "
"Ji khan baba... Isi liye ham kunwar bhagwan daas sae baat karna chahte thae ... mager
lagta ...hae who abhi bhi wahi masroof hain tau ab ham raja bharmal sae is babat (related) baat
karna chaenge "
Jalal said strongly
Bairam khan spread his hand on his face and sighed... He knew the sensitivity of situation...but the
pride of rajput kings is another reality ..they do offended in a matter of time ... It is crucial to deal
with these kings diplomatically
"Sahib e alam, aap pareshan na ho.. Ham abhi amer kay raja sae maslak karte hain .."
"Nahi khan baba"
Jalal cut his mentor in btw bairam pressed his lips..he knows his prince and his stubbornness
"Raja sahib sae tau ham hi baat karenge ...aur aap kiun pareshan ho rahe hain ...who agar rajput
raja hain tau ham bhi mughal sultanat kay wali ahed hai. ..."
Jalal voice was little raised and annoyed
"Nahi nahi sahib e alam hamara matlab hargiz aap ki shaan mae gustakhi nahi tha "
Bairam khan replied with haste..he was holding his breath seeing prince getting annoyed with him
and getting him wrong ..jalal also noticed
"Khan baba ... Aap hamre saath rehenge ... Aap fikar na karenge ...apne shagird par aetemad
(trust) rakhiye "
Jalal smilled with little amusement ...bairam khan also smiled and relaxed seeing prince happy.
Jalal also told bairam khan too watch on stable man and his visitors.
After dinner when every one hanging out ... Bairam khan requested amer naresh to meet heir of
saltanat ...shehzada jalal on his wish ...
Raja Bharmal was literally confused on this ... He never think the mughal prince who is mere boy of
12, 13 of age . Bairam khan took him to in side of hall where. Some royal seats and tables are
arranged for seating... his maha mantari was with him ...
"Maharaj aap ko kia lagta hae ...kis vishay mae baat karni hogi mughal yuvraj ko"
"Hame soojh nhi raha maha mantri ... Ve tau abhi balik hi hain ... Unko ham sae mantara karne ki
kia avashakta par gae"
Bharmal replied confusely
In the mean time jalal came with bairam khan ...
"Adab raja sahib"
Jalal greeted him kindly
Raj bharmal stood up reluctantly.
"Parnam kunwar ..."
He folded his hands ... Maha mantri also greeted by folding his hand and bowed his head little
Jalal smiles on kunwar ... Bharmal was looking to him keenly... Jalal eyes were sharp un like of his
smile, which is sweet like of his tender age.
He sit on his seat.. Bharmal and bairam khan also took their seats...
"Kese mizaj hain aap ke raja sahib"
Jalal asked softly
"Bas kirpa hae bhagwaN ki...khan e khana kah rahe thae aap ko ham sae kuch baat karni hae"
Bharmal asked in easy hindi ...
Jalal looked as his mantari
"Aap zara intezar kejiye, .. ham ... Raja sahib sae kuch baat karlain"
His style was soft but it was straight order to dismiss amer minister, which made both bharmal and
minster surprised...
MinisTer gulped and looked at his king... Raja bharmal nodded and he left reluctantly while bowing
to him and prince
Jalal was looking to bharmal very keenly all the time ... Bharmal turned to jalal attentively
"Raja sahib asal mae tau hame aap sahibzade kunwar bhagwn daas sae baat karni thi"
Bharmal,startled a little
"Ji haan who aney wale thae parantu"
"Ji hame ilm hae ... Who yatra mae shmil honey jo 2 rajkumariyo ka kafila aya hae who wahi
hain ...is liye nahi asake "
Jala said very casually with slight smile on his lips and his sharp eyes in bharmal
Raja bharmal really jumped up this time ... He didn't imgine mughal prince is going to talk about
jodha and her caravan ..
He looked down for while to think what to say ...but jalal continued
"Is yatra ka sara intezam mughal hakoomat nae apne zimme liya hae... Dehli sae mathura ... Na srf
dono sheher mughal hakoomat ka hissa hain balke sara ilaqa bhi mughal ikthikiar mae hain ... "
"
Ji hame gayath hae is baat ka "
Bharmal replid slowly
"Phir aap yakeenan is baat sae anjaan honge kay shahi khandan , kisi bhi raja, rani, shehzAda
shazadi chahe who dushman riyasat ho ya ap ki tarha dost riyasat ...mughal Hakoomat or yatra ke
muntazemeen ko itla (inform) dena zaroori hae is yatra mae shirkat kay liye "
j
alal tone, his style was so humble yet strong but what ever he was saying swept away rug from
from bharmal feets
Jalal literally didn't know that one of the girl is bharmal daughter and amer princess... He just
played his card to know who are they ... So if they are not from amer royal family bharmal will must
deny it strongly but king of amer face clearly showing he is trapped ...
"Who , ... Rajkumari ...ek sadharan yatri ki bhati yatra mae sabhmilan ho rhinhae. ... Bas isi liye"
Bharmal said unconfidently... Jalal piercing and questioned eyes killing his pride ... He is annoyed
with him self why he is getting nervous infront of this boy.
"Aap bilkul durust (righty said) farma rahe raja sahib aur yah tau bohat achi baat hae ek rajkumari ...
Ek aam ..."
Jalal stopped inbtw .. And asked lighly
"Kia dono larkiyan amer ki rajkumari hain...?"
Jalal knew 1 girl is samant daughter but he bluffed... Bairam khan smiled on his student style and
diplomacy ..
But bharmal knew he cant and should not hide ...
" nahi yuvraj... Ek hamari saputri raj kumari heer kunwar hain aur dooji unki sakhi aur hamre
samant ki putri hain "
" acha acha"
Jalal thought tht pretty girl who was simply dressed must be samant putri
" haan tau ham kah rahe thae...yah bohat umda khayaal hae...kay shahi khandan se hote hue bhi
ek aam yatri ki trha yatra mae shirkat (attend) ki jaye... Magar yah usool ...hindustan ki mukhtalif
(different) riyasato kay Shahi afrad (people) ki hifazat kay liye hi hai "
Bharmal pressed his lips in remorse
"aap ko mughal sultanat par aetemaad (trust) karna chahiya tha raja sahib"
jalal said reproachfully and turned to bairam khan
"Kiun khan baba"
Bairam khan who was fully attentive ...smirked slightly
" aap baja farmate sahib e alam ... Maharaj ko mughal sultanat par bharosa karna chiye aur...
He looked at bharmal
"Aur saltanat ki assolo ki izzat bhi ... "
Bairam khan looked down dismissively
"Chalye koi baat nahi ... "
Jalal said lightly
"der ayad ...durust ayad" (come late but right,y come)
He got up... So did raja bharmal and bairam khan ...
"Raja sahib 2 din baad hamari rasm e taaj poshi hae aap apni shaib zadi (daughter) ko hamari taraf
sae tashreef (come) lane ki dawat dijyega "
Bharmal had no choice left
"Ji..ham ap ka haardhik dhane waad karte hain...who awashe ayengi.."
Bharmal folded his hands in greeting ... Jalal also did adab and left...
Bharmal sighed in relief... ... Bairam khan was still there seeing him with little smirk
"Aeye maharaj ham mehfil mae chalte hain jaha panha bhi yaad kar rahe honge ... "
Bhramal sighed and headed towards the main hall with bairam khan
" maharaj ... Mughal sultanat mae kia poore hindustan mae hm sae koi baat nahi chup sakti ... "
He said meaningfully while walking and bharmal smiled distastefully while gritting his teeths ...
Bairam khan was really impressed with his prince's awareness of matter and his diplomacy
manners ...his spys whom they are goig to meet tomorrow may have the news for yatra and its
attendees but jalal must have his own resources...
-
----------II-----------
After some time ... Mughal and other muslim guests offered conjugational isha prayers (night time
prayers)... After prayers jalal left with the permission of his father the empror.
"
Atga ...ham ab bache tau nahi l..ap jaeye mehfil maae "
Jalal said to shamsudin khan atga who loves and cares prince as his own son ...jalal also loves him
a lot and always calls him atga openly which means father.
"Ji haan sahehzade ab aap bache nahi ... Magar khadim ka tau farz hae aap ki hifazat ka khayaal
rakhna ... Yah aap ka hi mahal har magar khatra tau kahi bhi ho sakta hae"
Jalal laughed on his cares ... Unaware of some people who are waiting for him near his quarters to
harm him ..,,
Jalal and atga met jalal friends who were sitting on dewan and out side the dinner hall chatting and
waiting for their prince... They all hot up seeing prince and atga... Aziz koka ...atga's son was alao
there ... They all greeted jalal and atga respectfully ...
" ab aap ko itmenen (satisfied) ho gaya ..."
Jalal teased his foster father...,
"Ab hamare rafeeq (friends) mil gae hai ab aab jaye mehfil mae..."
Atga smiled and left to join king ...
Jalal turned towards his friends
"Shehzade aaj aap kay saath ham honge raat ko ..."
Abdul told jalal proudly ..,
"Nahi .."
.jalal said mischiviously
" zaheer ki tabiyat kharab hagae hae ... "
Jalal halts in btw ...and looked at zaheer ...
" meri tabiyat... Shehzade meri tabiyat tau sahi hae ... Kab kharab hui..."
Every one was confused ... Zaheer ki tabyat kab kharab hui aur what is connection of this with
abdul's duty of staying in prince quarters to look after him...
" abhi abhi hui hae... Sar mae shadeed dard hae tumhare ..".
Jalal said in obvious tone, While walking... he turned towards zanana... Unlike his own portion ...
"Arey sahib e alam aap bhool gaye ab aap ka qayam (stay) zanana mae nahi hae..."
abdul momin said mischieviously
Jalal stopped and frowned towards his friends
"Oh mia dopiaza ..tum shayad dopiaza khate khate bhool gaye kay ham kabhi kuch nahi bhoolte"
Jalal said humerously .
All start laughing seeing their prince fake angry gesture
Abdul momin who is one of jalal friends and loved the dish dopiaza a lot ... Also laughed. Abdul hai
mostly called as abdul and abdul momin two of jalal friends ... Stayed with him in nights alternatively
and read and discussed books with him ... Abdul momin specially knew so many things about
religion, sunna, fiqa, shariat ... Jalal loves his wits and humor ... today was abdul turn to stay with
prince ...
"Mujhe tau koi bataye kay mae kiun beemar hu... "
Zaheer said with fake frown ...
Every one see prince as only he can solve the mystery
"Tum is liye beemar hAu kay tumhari walida tumhari teemar dari (take care in illness) karne aa
sakain... "
Abdul momin said meaningfully and jalal lauged
"Ham nae zanana paigham (message) bhijwa dia hae ...tum foran niklo yaha sae ... Tumhari
walida ati hongi ...sar mae shadeed dard hae."
Zaheer noded still confused
"Abdul, zain , aur momin tum dono hamari rihaish gah (residence) par jao...koi aye aur phooche
tau kuch bhi keh dena...adham aur azeez tum dono hamara zanana kay bahir intezar karna ..."
Now every one got where their prince is going ... All sighed in understanding
"Ji sahib e alam ..."
Abdul, zain and momin bowed their heads and left ...
"Aur dekho zara dehaan se, tum dono zanana kay bahir kisi ko aram se (easily) dhikai na do aur
na hi aisa lage kay chup rahe ho,.. "
Jalal warned adham and azeez while walking towards zanana area...
The afghan hit men were waiting in prince's royal guard uniform near the jalal's quarter ... They saw
some boys are coming ... But prince was not among them ... So they decided to wait ... They didn't
know there wait is not going to end atleast this night
------ii---------
Jalal entered in ruqayya's qaurters...roohi and koko were in sitting room adjacent to shehzadi
ruqayya's bedroom ... Both already knew about jalal's visit already ... They saw their prince smiled
with little bow ... Jalal also smiled effectionately to them...and entered in his beloved room silently.
Rukayya was sitting beside window ...doing some thing with very concentration..along with
humming in her sweet melodious voice
"Thandi hawaye lehrati aye "
"Ham hain yaha, tum ko yaha kese bulaye .."
"Tahndi hawain..."
Jalal tiptoed silently and put hands on her eyes .
Rukayya gets up at once
"Kon hae .."
She asked loudly
And jalal put his one hand on her mouth
"Jab shaakh koi haath lagate hi chaman mae "
"Sharmaye lachak jae tau lagta hae kay tum ho"
"Sandal sey mehekti hui pur kaif hawa ka"
"Johnka koi takra jae tau lagta hae kay tum ho"
Jalal whispered in her ears while removing her hand from her eyes
Now he can see her beautiful ghilafi bhoori ankhain . Wide and anxious
"Haye allah !!!"
Rukaya exclaimed And removed his hand from her mouth too
"Kia karte hain aap... Kisi nae dekh lia tau "
"Zaheer ki tabyat theek nahi hae ... Tumhari anna abhi apne bete kay paas hain"
Jalal said amusingly while grabbing grapes from plate
"Aur agar akam jaan age tau ? Who aksar raat ko soney sae phele hamare paas aati hain "
rukayyas said mischiviously
Jalal stopped at once worriedly
"Arey Haan... Hame aakam jaan ko tau dihaan hi nahi raha"
He patted his head
Rukayya starts laughing
"Tum hass rhi ho rukayya ... "
Jalal exclaimed while galring her
"Agar ham yaha tumhari khuab gah mae pakre gae tau abba hazoor kitna khafa honge "
Now rukayya was laughing more
"Ham aaqam jaan sae mil aye hain . Unko shab baghair bhi kah aye hain ... Ab who nahi ayengi ."
She told him in btw laughing
Now jalal was frowning
"Tum ko khaber ho gae thi kay ham ayenge ."
"Nahi khabar tau nahi thi par hame pata tha kay aap ayenge "
"Kese"
"Bass hame pata lag jata hae... Phele sae ..."
"Acha tum kia kar rhi thi ... ?"
Jalal tried looked to the small wooden piece hidden behind her dupatta
"Aur yah geet jo tum gunguna rahi thi, kaha suna ?"
Jalal ka dehaan bhatak kar us sanwali saloni haseena ki taraf jane laga ... He was thinking ... Kay
ruku ko bataye kay nahi
" yah ham nae aap kay liye banaya hain ...dekhain "
He came out from his thoughts on rukayya voice
It was hand crafted wooden miniature painted elephant
"Zabardast "
"Sach batao, yah tum nae khud banaya ?"
"Beshak ham nae apne haath sae banaya hae ... Aap ko pata hae na hame lakdi ka kis kadar
pasand hae"
Jalal took elephant in his hand ... It was maple light brown wooden elephant painted red and green
petals on his back for a through ...
He was astonished
"Kamal hi hogaya ... Ham bhi tumhare liye kuch laye hain par... Tum bazi le gae"
"Jaldi bataye kia laye hain "
"Ab kia faida"
Jalal pulled her leg
"Arey faida kese nahi dikhaye na ..,tang na karain"
Jalal took out a small wooden piece from his pocket
"Dekho tum hasna nahi"
He warned her before showing the thing
And open his hand infront of her
Rukayya mouth kept open with surprise and happiness
It was also a wooden hand crafted elephant but of different shape design and color
It was dark rust red and maroon hand crafted war elephant made of wood
"Wallah,!! Is ko kehte hain dil ko dil se rah hona"
She said and takes it in her hand
"Kitna khoobsurat hai"
She was so happy
"Acha lao ab hamara feal (elephent) hame do"
Jalal said while grabbing the white elephant
"Sach kahe rukayya tum nae yah bohat hi khubsurat banaya hae
Rukayya sits on dewan next to her bed
Jalal now sits on rukayya bed and watching her excitedly
Then he thinks some thing
"Acha ruku tum jo who geet gunguna rahi thu kaha suna tum nae "
Rukayya watched him confusingly
"Arey ham nae bhi aaj raste mae suna tha na ...bohat hi sureela geet hae"
Rukayya nods
"Haan bohat hi sureela aur khubsurat geet hae"
"Ham aaj hazrat nizamudin auliya ki dargha gae thae na aaqam jaan aur ammi jaan kay saath...,
Wahi bahir shah rah par kuch banjaranain gadvi baja kar gaa rhi thi"
Acha tum aaj dargha gae thi... Hame bhi bata dena tha ham bhi chalte, tumhe pata hae na hame
kitna acha lagta hae dargah jana"
"Kesi baat kerte hain aap ... Ham aqam jaan aur amma jaan kay saath gae thae ."
Rukayya said with frown
"Wese bhi us waqt aap mahal mae nahi thae."
"Na jane kia karte rehte hain aap"
Jalal sees her innocent face .
"Who jo tum nahi karti "
"Kia"
Rukayya said confusingly
"Tumhe yaad"
Rukayya starts laughing on this
"Tum hass rhi ho rukayya"
Now Jalal was really annoyed
"Arey ham apne aap ko kese yaad kar sakte hain...aap bhi na"
Jalal was tight lipped
"Hame tau yaad kar sakti ho na "
Jalal trying her to confess tht she also misses him
"Aap ko yaad karne kay liye tau umr pari hae. Ham nae aur ZIndagi mae karna hi kia .."
Rukayya said simply
Jalal was now dump founded
"Is ka kia matlab hua ?"
"Ham tau tumhare pass tumhare saath rehne wale hain sad sada kay liye "
"Pata nahi , anna kehti hain mardo kay dil ka kia thikana ...kia pata kab kis par dil aa jaye
Rukayya said innocently
"Yeh tumhari anna hame hamai isi liye nahi pasand ... "
"Rehne dain na aap bhi ... Abhi tau aap nae kaha ham aap sada kay liye saath rehne wale
hain ...tau , ... ham, unko yaad karte hain na jo hamare pas nahi hai "
Rukayya said sadly looking to sky from out side the window
Jalal was about to ask, when she added
"Hamare babaam ko, hamari aqam ko, aur daadi jaan ko bhi..."
Rukayya sighed , her eyes had tears now
"Ruku tum ko kisi nae bataya hae kabhi"
"Kia..?!""
"Kay pyar kesa hota hae?"
Now rukayya was confused
"Kesa hota hae?"
She asked
"Hum batate hain "
"Pyar ko jab pyaar hua
Tau pyar nae, pyaar ko
pyaar sae phoocha
Pyaar kesa hota hae
Ta pyaar nae, pyaar ko,
Pyaar sae kaha
Jo is shayeri ko sun raha hae
Pyaar us kay jesa pyaara hota hae"
Rukayya who was listening very carefully starts laughing at once
"Arey bhai tum phir hans rhi ho , now jalal was also laughing with her"
"ham itne dehaan sae sun rahe thae pyar kesa hota hae "
"Haan tau bataya na hamare liye tau bas pyar tumhare jesa hae... aur ham tum ko itna pyar denge kay tum ko aur kisi ki na yaad ayegi aur na khayaal "
Jalal said lovingly and promissingly while holding her hands
Rukus eyes dropped in sharam her fair cheeks are getting red
"Kia hua? "
Jalal asked slowly
"Kuch nahi ...,
Rukayya was chewing her lips
"aap ham sae pyaar wayaar ki baatain na kia karain , "
She pulled her hands from his beloved grip and covered her face
"Sachi mae hame bohat sharam ari hae"
Jalal laid back on bed with thud with fake disappointment
"Phir kia baat karain... Jalal picked a book from side table and said while turning pages "
"Aap tau ham sae phulon ki aur parindo ki baat kejeye. Aur shayeri...hame shayeri bhi bohat pasand hai"
.rukayya said innocently thinking about her pet peacocks and pigeons in her garden
Shayeri,!!!
Jalal exclaimed while getting up again
"Hamain bhi shayeri bohat pasand hae ... Chalo ham tumhain ek sher sunate hain "
"Zaroor, ...irshaad"
Rukayya said excitedly
"Mana kay is saal bhi ho nahi sakti shadi meri
Jalal said with naughty smile
Ruku frowned
"Mana kay is saal bhi ho nhi sakti shadi meri
Phir bhi lab pe ati hae dua ban kay tamanna meri"
And he again through him self on bed while laughing seeing rukayya fake frowning... She was getting red in suppressing her shyness and laugh
"Jalal aap koi adbi baat nahi kar sakte... " (here adab means literarture)
"Kar sakte hain na ... Aaj is adab ki wajha sae hi hamare ustad ham sae bewaja hi naraz ho gae"
"Acha matlab aapne phir apne kisi ataaleeque ko tang kia "
"Nahi nahi bilkul nahi...ham sae ustad mohtaram nae phoocha kay khayal aur wehem me kia faarq hota ."
Ruqayya becomes attentive to know the reply, as she is also thinking the right answer when she heared the question
"Ham nae adab sae bas itna kaha..."
Jalal said innocently
"Janab aap hamey padha rahe hain yah apka khayaal hae aur ham phadh rahe hain yah aap ka wehem ..."
Rukayya mouth kept open in surprise...then she starts laughing so hard that starts coughing until jalal gave her glass of water to calm down
She took glass from his hand
"Aap kay is namaqool jawab par tau who bohat hi ghussa ho gae honge"
"Ghussa!!'"
Jalal exclaimed ...
"Rukayya begam!,"
Jalal only calls rukayya begum when he is angry or very serious
"kisi bhi ataleeque ki ab itni majal nahi kay hamare zara sae mazaq par ham par ghussa karne ghustakhi kar sakay. "
Rukayya also got serious on his tone
"Yah sahi baat nahi hae sahib e alam...is tarha sochna... "
"Itna sanjeeda honey ki zarrorat nahi hae"
Jalal cut her in btw
"Mahe manga kehti hai.. Kay hamey ...kisi bhi ustad sae darney ki bilkul zaroorat nahi hain . Ham shehzade hain, wali ahed e sultanat, aur who hamare mulazim "
Jalal said strongly and turn his head from rukayya in annoyance on his face
Rukayya sees down and watches her shadow in water , in the glass she is still holding . She sighed
"Acha khafa na hoai ...yah Pani pee lejeye"
She raised glass towards him which he didn't take
"Pee lain na "
Ruku insists, and he grabbed glass and drink a sip and gives her a side glance
"Acha sahib e alam ham.. shehzadi rukayya sultan bhi aap ko shayeri sunati hain... Aap bhi kia yaad karenge."
Jalal smiled on her style ...
"acha sunaye shehzadi alia "
"Sunate hain mager hamari 1 shart hae . Aap har misre kay baad wah wah kahenge"
"Yah kia baat hui agar acha nahi laga tau kiu wah wah karenge "
...
"Jaye ham nahi sunate ... Aap hamari itn zara sae baat nahi maan sakte "
Rukayya said with pout
"Acha chalo tae... Ham har misra par wah wah karenge,... ab suna bhi do"
Rukayya khush ho jati hae...
"Chlaye phir sunye"
Ruku cleared throat
"Asman jitna neela hae "
she said ...but jalal makes face instead of saying wah wah
" Arey wah wah tau kare ..."
Rukayya said with a glare
"Haan wah wah "
Jalal also enjoying ...rukayya glared him hard
"Phir sae shru karte hain "
"Asmaan jinta neela hae"
"Wah !,"
ruku glared on only one wah but carried on
"Suraj mukhi jitna peela hae"
Wah wah
Jalal adds one more wah with naughty smile
"Pani jinta geela hai"
"Wah wah wah "...now he said loudly with raised hand
"Aap ka paech utna hi dheela hae" (peach means nut)
Ruku said in sewing and jalal ki wah wah ko whi break lag jata hae
He glared her hard with a frown ...ruku was smiling naughtily
"Ab kahe na 4 baar , wah wah wah wah ..."
She was laughing now
Jalal also starts laughing
He was looking her lovingly.
"Ruku tum kitne ache sae sab sahi kar deti ho ... Ham kabhi bhi tum sae naraz reh hi nahi patey na "
Ruku smiled ... And got up from her couch ..
"Acha ham aap ko 1 cheez sunate hain ... Ham nae aaj sabak mae padha tha, ...socha tha aap ko sunaye gai... Bohat hi achi baat hae "
... Jalal yawned .,.,
"zaroor ... "
She brought a paper
"Sunye "
Hazrat imam gazali (rehmat u llah alleh) farmate hain (imam gazali is a saint and among five imams of isalm)
"Agar rizq akal aur danishwari sae milta tau janwar aur bewakoof bhooke mar jate.
Insaan ki tamam pareshaniyo ki wajha muqadder sae zyada chahna, waqt sae phele chahna, qnaat pasandi ki kami hae..
Dunya naseeb sae milti hae aur akhrat mehnat sae ...lekin log mehnat dunya kay liye aur akhrat ko naseeb par chod dete hain
Allah taala hame fikr o amal ki taufeeq de"
...rukayya finished the quote and saw jalal lying on bed thinking , his eyes were focused on ceiling.
"Kia soch rahe hain... Kesa laga"
Jalal sighed
"Bohat achi baat hae... Magar, yah batain fakeero aur darwesho ki hain ... Badshaho ko tau zameen ko hi apni awam kay liye jannat banana hota hae ...Aur hamain,... Hame tau pure hindustan par haqumat karni hain"
Jalal got up , his face was glowing with ambition
Rukayya sees him with little surprise ... She was very little just 11 and not so ambitious like jalal ...
"Acha ham aap ko hazrat tariq bin ziyad ki "undelas ki fateh" par ek nazam sunate hain "
(undels is old name of Spain.. Arabs ruled Spain for centuries )
She said while thinking about jalal interest
"Zaroor "
Jalal said excitedly.
"Hazrat Tariq bin zyad aur un ki undelas par fateh ki dastaan hamey bohat pasand hain "
"Ham dekhte hain ...shayad koko nae rakhi hae ...kisi sandook mae hogi ktaab"
Rukaya was searching her note book of peom ...
"Acha ham zara yahi rukye ham apni likhne Padhne kay hojre mae dekh kar ate hain. "
She asked jalal to wait and went in another room of her portion
Jalal nods laid down again ... He was tired ... Aaj kitne hi kaam kiye thae din bhar ... Sochte sochte, usko neend ane lagi and he made himself more comfy on bed
..
"Shuker khuda ka mil gae. "
Ruku entered room while blabbering but stopped seeing jalal
He was sleeping calmly on her bed
She puts book on side table and start seeing her beloved ... He was lying on bed with his shoes on
Rukayya was crazy for neatness and cleanness. She always wants all the things neat clean and arranged ... But jalal is jalal,,,.. Master of mess .
She smile seeing her beloved ... Put off his shoes and and covered him with a warm through.
Ruku blowed off some candles and left room to sleep in sitting room of her portion.
Jalal and rukayya didn't know, this night they defeated a danger on prince life with their innocent love for each other. Some creepy shadow was waiting waliahed in his portion, to take his life. And here jalal was sleeping peacefully in her beloved room unknown to the sazish and danger lurking for him in his own palace .
