Chapter-38
Next day,
Morning
A small groan escaped Jodha's mouth as a dull throbbing pain in her head dragged her from the sweet embraces of sleep and she also felt her whole body is in a sore. She shut her eyes tight against the rays of light breaking through the gap between the curtains and hauled the covers up over her head. Fragments of the night before began to sift through her foggy mind;Meeting with Pratap, just to see her Jalal, walking hotel room with him, her intoxication,or rather Pratap half carrying her to room,placing her into bed, her begging him not to touch her ,.. just for a little while..But she felt her whole world collapsing while she find out her torned clothes around her and a piece of paper next to her...
'Thanks a lot Jodha for that wonderful night..You are really hot and so so beautiful
--Pratap--
"No..It can't be...no,no,no,no...Never" She cried in a heart braking way.Her lamenting sound reverberated in that hotel room.She couldn't believe herself this cruel thing happened with her.She tired again to recall that past incidents again.Unfortunately she couldn't quite put her finger on what had happened between and after those moments. She felt like there was something important she was forgetting, a big gaping chunk of nothing that came just after she had gotten into bed.Suddenly, the door to her room burst open, accompanied by thumping footsteps.
."Morning,Ms Switzerland!" Shariffudeen called, pulling the covers halfway down the bed to reveal his face smiling viciously and cheekily down at her, a bottle swinging loosely in his hand.She instantly covered her tormented form by the satin bedsheet and shouted in shock
"Shariffudeen !!" Jodha cried,and had to bite her tongue to stem the stream of curses that were about to escape her.
"Feeling sore ?" asked Shariff raising his one eye brow slyly.
Jodha's heart beat started to beating profoundly.Shariff flopped down on his back next to her.While she strained go away from him.Skeptically settled farthest corner of bed like frightened doe.She was too shocked to say something to him.She with throbbing tears and broken voice argued with Shariff.
"It was all your plan.What did you done with me ?" asked Jodha painfully.She was not at all ready accept what happened with her.Her heart and mind were waged a big battle.
"Uff..So innocent.You don't remember anything ? I can't believe this.You slept with three person in yesterday night.Yet you are acting like so innocent.Oh don't say we raped you Jodha.It was you who surrendered willingly inront of us without any hesitation.Look yourself.Have you seen any nail marks or any bruises on your body...No right"
Jodha's eyes widened and she stifled a gasp as the gaping chunk of missing memory from the night before came rushing back.Oh no... oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no! She choked all of the words she wanted say, her heart cried in pain, her tears started to flow out in pain but swiftly turned to look at Shariff,only to see him peering right back at her, a peculiar expression on his face. Her face expression changed in horrified at the memory of what he'd done... what she'd done! She had been intoxicated, but that was no excuse for theway she had encouraged him! Then a pit of anger burst into her stomach. He'd had no right to take advantage of her in that way! He'd had no right to act upon the impulses they had both been fighting for longer than they cared to remember...
"Pratap drugged me..I know..You are all .." Jodha rushed towards him pulled his shirt violently.She hadn't anymore strength left to say remaining words.
Sharif gave a devilish grin in response and said"Yes..We enjoyed you a lot.but you can't blame us either,wouldn't you.A part of you has also participated in that sin.Remember our bet Jodha I had told you that you will lay with me one day..See I completed my vow" infromed Shariff while extracting Jodha's strong hold easley by his hands..
Hearing those cruel words from Shariff's mouth.Jodha silenced like a frozen for a moment.She swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and forced her delicate features into a tight smile as Jalal's face came swimming into her mind
"Get out of here" Shouted Jodha in a whooping voice
Sharif sprung up and bowed to her in jest."Of course, my dear, wouldn't want to ruin your modesty!.You don't need to overreact.I have recorded everything in this memory card what happened between us yesterday night.We wouldn't send this to Jalal or media if you obeyed us like a good girl.Other wise you know your reputation will spoil forever"
It was another shock for Jodha.Sharif chortled evily and swaggered out of room sneering at her.Jodha's heart shattered completely.The realization of she lost her everything had utterly broken her.Adham's cruel words were still ringing in her ears.Jalal's face again swam back into Jodha's thoughts, and her eyes filled with tears at the thought of his face if he knew what had happened with her.
"Jalal will never forgive me.He will hate me" Jodha covered her face in her hands and cried a lot.Her heart was utterly devastated, she had no desire left to live any longer.Thinking about she lost her reputation made her instantly shattered apart the emotions she was desperately trying to hold together. She gave into the regret and the guilt and let the tears pour down her cheeks. She fell back into her covers and rolled over, burying her face in the pillows. She released a muffled moan and sobbed her remorse and confusion into the soft fabric.
What have I done? Jodha lamented,She wanted to die. Oh how she wish she'll die any second so she won't have to suffer through this nightmare.Wrapping the same satin sheet around her Jodha found a way to outside and ran back towards her apartment in that cold morning..
::::::::::::::::::::::----------------::::::::::::::::::::::
Few moments later...
Alfred stroked Jodha's hair and rubbed her back as she huddled.Her body was still shaking beyond control by terror.Tears pour from her eyes and stain her flushed cheeks.Anyone can be identity that big red handprint marks on her those dainty cheecks.evidence of that sadist act against her !!
The sobs had run their course and silent comfort was what seemed to be required. Except they could feel the pressure to talk about what had happened.Alfred didn't want to.He knew the wounds were too raw to fully talk about it and he felt she would blurt out as this was her fault.
Jodha couldn't close her eyes even for one second.As soon as she close her eyes ... horrifying images of Pratap,Shariff and Adham came in front of her eyes... Instantly she opened her eyes and hugged her friends tightly out of fear.Tears were still flooding out of her eyes thinking what would have happened if Jalal gets to know about this...
Albert's and Alfred's heart almost braking apart watching their lovely sister's shattered condition.Yet Albert tried to give the needed comfort to her as he could with the help of his brother.Jodha' state was really goving them enormous pain.She was innocent..selfless and pure like an angel.It was unbelievable for them realizing such a horrible thing happened with her.
"Jodha,my poor girl.Please don't cry.It wasn't your falt.It was their fault, that damned pricks" consoled Albert softly wiping her flowing tear droplets..
"No.Albert.Fault was completely mine.I couldn't be faithful with my husband.I betrayed my Jalal.I lost my dignity.I don't want to live...I...I feel like dirt." Jodha was literally withering while saying this.There was no end of her tears..She again started to crying
Albert and Alfred knew how much Jodha values her pride..Reputation..self-esteem.She always taking pride to be an Indian girl.But now seeing her plight and listening to her pain, what happened utterly wrecked them from inside...? They were feeling suffocated... Both of them wanted to scream and cry out loud...felt guilty for not reaching to her earlier..Their eyes became moist thinking how to relieve her wounded heart.However they need to try their level best.
"Jodha!" Alfred took Jodha's chin. "Listen to me, This is not your fault. No matter what anyone says, this is not your fault. You didn't ask for this. You didn't want this. It is not your fault. And if you cry it won't make you feel better Believe me ,Jalal will understand your plight.He loves you a lot.He won't leave you alone Jodha."
Jodha's voice broke. "No..Alfred..I..I can't face him..How can I...?? How can I say this to him.Kahnaa.
...Tell me Will he hate me ? Oh..No my dreams destroyed..My everything finished" They could stand like this watching Jodha's poignancy.They silently embraced her in order to giving her a soothing comfort even when both had no courage left to say a word... Jodha cried and cried until she ran out of all energy... she started to feel dizzy... suddenly everything started to move around her... her vision got blurred and she lost her conscious in their arms...
"Jodhaaa !!!!" They stunned viewing this and screamed loudly...
_____________________________________________________________________________
MGO Office,
Main building
Manchester,
England
Towering above all other buildings in the area, about three blocks away form Central Mall, stood the luxurious capital of MGI With top quality service and state of the attached art hotel luxuries, it is said to be the best mall of the world.At the entrance, dozens of bellmen were waiting eagerly for the arrival of their special guests.Especially for charming and hot Jalalludeen Mohammed Akbar With the red carpet rolled out and the lampposts lit, the ambiance couldn't be any more perfect for the guests. The guests for the Charity Ball along with MGI monthly office meeting...Held once a year to honor those who have contributed much to charity, the Charity Ball is one of the highlight events awaited each year. Those who come, range from people in the middle middleclass to the upper upper-class. This year, the ball is sponsored by the Mugal Group corporation, and as Jalalludeen Mohammed stepped out of his limousine, he was blinded by the irritating flash of dozens of cameras shot at him.
"Mr Jalalludeen Mohammed , Is it true that you have finally found yourself a girl friend?"
"Sir what do you think about any of the contestants in the on-going Miss Switzerland pageant?"
"Mr Mohammed ,what relationship do you have with any of the girls?"
"Who do you think will win?"
Jalal paid no heed to the paparazzi.He had a good knowledge about news about his private life will gradually came out to public.But luckily they don't know anything about his marriage now.With his friend Abdul, Bodyguards and Rukaiyy behind him, he went inside the hotel feeling really... bored. Once in, he sat himself at the table in front, which was reserved for him in his own cabin and observed his surroundings.
He noted that the office work need a bit of improvement and that the rush was a little too much. He scowled distastefully at the choice of files selected,glancing at his staffs he made a call to Tommy, management director of MGI office,Manchester
A few moments later...
"I don't care Tommy.They open at 6,we open at 5,all right ?...There are nibs at stake Mister.Just get it done" ordered Jalal in his commanding tone
"But Sir !!" Tommy reluctantly expressed.He had also charge of MGO's accounting section.So he needed to make understand to his boss about seriousness of share dropping..
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you mouth Tommy.Chinese companies may be ruthless.But at any cost I have to close this merger and Don't forget we're meeting the board at 2" Reminded Jalal while taking steps hurriedly towards his cabin
"Just a minute Sir.I need to talk an important matter with you" His voice was filled wie tension.Jaw clinched then conveyed
"Sir,I heard from the bank...bad news...They aren't Willing to take any more risks..The account is already overdrawn..
"Shit" Jalal skimmed his fingers through his thick hair in frustration and yelled
"How can they do this.? 25 years we have been working with them..What do they want..Should I put up a hoarding ? that MGO is bankrupt...!"
Tommy got frightened watching his boss annoying state"I can delay it Sir.But we'll have to pay up..What to do ?"
"You can go Tommy.We will find a solution for this problem soon" said Jalal while pushing his office door and get into his cabin.Thinking about something he sauntered here and there and finally settled on his swivel chair assuring himself..
"Everything thing is okay..I am okay" Truly speaking he was upset,in a really confused state.He trapped in such a dilemma that share holders suddenly started to withdrawing their shares.He was completely sure that some one playing behind..Some one who is so close him has pulled his leg..Something big is planning.But he couldn't make out what's that ?
The company is drowning..His business empire collapsing.Everything with in seconds !!!.Jalal's head fall back on chair ,closing his eyes..He thought about his love.."Jodha" Believing himself that her beautiful face will help him to find some answers
After one hour...
At Board meeting
"I think it is sufficiently clear that we can deliver a high quality product for Asian market" voice of marketing manager was confident.But Jalal's wasn't satisfied with that.Calculating something in his mind he put forth question
"And how will we compete with Chinese products"
"I don't think that is a concern for us.After all our quality is higher and prize is Lower" Rukaiyya expressed her opinion and everyone agreed with her.But cunning and shrewd businessman in Jalal was always far ahead of them..
"We need to consider that.The prizes are only possible if the production cost and selling function of these numbers.The Indian rupee keeps fluctuating.Where is the contingency plan for that.If the dollar rises raw materials cost also will increase.Isn't that right ?"
Actually you are totally right.We should have factored that in.You will get our revised proposal tomorrow.You are right.Anything can happen" Abdul acknowledged Jalal's stance.
"Guys.The main purpose of this meeting is discuss about our newly found criss.So I have found a solution for that" Jalal informed his staffs authoritatively..
"What's that Boss ?" Every one was so anxious about Jalal's reply.He gave them his trade mark smirk and about to answer,Something outside the window caught his eye. In less than a second,The tiny bullet shot through the glass, Abdul leapt forward screaming Jalal's name sliding across the table. His body collided heavily with Jalal's and the two went crashing to the floor.But bullet was already pierced Jalal's skull. The last thing his mind registered was pain, voices and face of his beautiful wife Jodha before his entire world exploded into white...
Rukaiyya and Abdul screamed and lamented loudly..."Jalal...Nooo"
**************************************
"No...No." cried Jodha.She had been dreaming bad dreams, not nice dreams. Sad dreams,tossed her head here and there again cushion of pillow.Jalal and she were standing across from each other, on opposite sides of a busy street in a crowded city.They were both trying to cross the street to each other and kept being buffeted back onto the sidewalk. Each time one of them would try to cross, another line of angry cars would rush past them, making it impossible for them to reach each other. Finally, Jalal was tired of waiting and turned from her, walking away. That was when she woke up with a scream
"Jalaaal.." Jodha yanked out from her sleep by the effect of that terrible nightmare.Her one hand automatically clasped her wed lock chain in fear and her heart started to beat faster.She had a strong feeling that something bad going to happen with Jalal.Jodha folded her hands and prayed to her Kahnaa..
"Kahnaa..please protect my husband.Be always with him.This Jodha can't live if some thing happened to him..Save him..Save my Jalal" She closed her eyes reminiscenting sweet moments with her husband.But she was panicking , couldn't make out what's the reason.A weird fear captured her heart.
She sat on the middle of bed,not wanting to go to sleep. It was five-thirty in the morning, but sleep is something she dread. She hate sleeping nowadays. Because every time she fall asleep, the nightmare consumed her thoughts.Of those devils hitting her...touching her...The endless spanking. The endless cutting. Much of her was lost that day, not only emotionally.She have nobody.No family to care even. No brothers or sister, mother or father.
But she had her Jalal.Her loving husband.Her love..Her life..Her everything.But he is not here anymore.She has already lost that right,right to address his wife proudly.She lost her precious body which she always preserved for her husband..
Her dreams were just as bad as the night before. Even worse, if she want to be completely honest. So, the only time she have peace is when thinking about Jalal even if she didn't want ton.She can't dreamt about him,can't betray him. She'd rather be sad all of the time, rather being happy for a few moments thinking about him.Unfortunately it was something she couldn't stop even by herself.What did she do ? She loves him madly from bottom of her heart.Don't know much.Anyway it was clear each cells in her body love him and she can't live without him.
"Jalal..My Jalal" muttered Jodha and corrected in next moment "No ..he is not mine.He will hate me" Jodha pushed back what she is thinking about. She don't want to let it plague her today. But she know that no matter how hard she try, it will always come back to her more strongly.
She was literally shivering from fever and that fact that she is freezing even when her fever temperatures is 108 Degree Celsius.She keeps her eyes tightly shut, as she fears the worse.She wished to be with Jalal now.Actually she was craving for his presence around her.But she have no courage to express it.The tears flow faster from her eyes as she felt guilt herself ripping inside as she thought about him.
Jodha had a passing thought that what was going on inside her chest was so explosive, she was going to shatter at any moment. There was just no way her brittle bones and her fragile skin could hold in the kind of emotion she was feeling. She felt disgusted herself again thinking about another man enjoyed her beauty.Jodha screamed and weeped in pain hiding her face between her knees. She was feeling so vulnerable that she pleaded
"Hey Krishna, please give me some peace. Please help me to stop thinking about that moment Why can't I kill myself ? ? Why can't I leave my Jalal??? Because he means so much to me than my character??? I can't live with him and I can't forget him even..But what can I do I had promised him that I will never leave his side whatever happens...Oh...No...No.." She cluched her hair tightly pulled it hardly causing herself pain ripped her clothes like a mad and ran into the bathroom. She didn't stop in front of the mirror; didn't want to know what her face looked like. What she was after was some hot water. She wanted to take a hundred showers, a thousand baths. She wanted to strip off the first layer of her skin which those sadists caressed.She wants to remove that disgrace from her body.The only thing she needed was to become pure like before.It was 13th times she going to take a bath with in one day..
Jodha fired up the showerhead. When the spray was warm, she dropped the robe completely and stepped under the water. The second the rush hit her back, she covered herself out of instinct, one arm over her breasts, one hand shielding the apex of her thighs out of fear.She was shaking uncontrollably and crying her heart out..
Jodha stood under shower head like that more than ten minutes until she realized she didn't have to hide. She was alone. She had privacy here. She straightened and forced her hands to her sides, feeling like it had been forever since she'd been allowed to wash in private.
During her college days Sharif had always tried to have sex with her. Rape had been one of her greatest fears in the beginning. She'd been terrified, sure he was going to force her, but it go away when Jalal came into her life pouring love,care and protectiveness into her lonely life.She thought she is safe with her husband ,no one can harm her.But God had another intention
With a shudder, she reached to the side for the bar of soap, lathered her hands, and ran them over her
arms. She sudsed up her neck and then across her shoulders and worked her way down... Jodha rowned and moved her head sideways.
Intermittently he smooth palm rubbed against J tattoo on her skin. It made her heart again grilled with agony.She dropped the bar of soap and covered it with her hands, Jalal's name was on her body. In her skin. She truly was his wife.That feeling was overwhelming for her..She closed her eyes in happiness... Stumbling from the shower, slipping on the marble floor, she grabbed a towel and wrapped herself up. Grabbed another and did the same. She would have gone for three, four... five, if she'd found more. Shaky, nauseous, she went up to the mirror that was fogged over. Taking a deep breath, she rubbed her elbow across the condensation. And looked at herself and said
"All I wants to fulfil Jalal's dream of me become Miss Switzerland from now on.After that he will leave me anyhow"
Advertisement message was flashing through her TV screen saying ..." To find out who among this special group of girls will win the Miss Switzerland Pageant watch it live on Flaming TV this coming Friday...Get a chance to vote your favorite candidates...Vote via text messaging, phone call, and e-mail."...
******************************************
As days passed rather quickly Jodha has become very silent, Final was so near.She spent her most of the time in her room or at the top of the roof of the apartment. She was acting normal with her colleagues and managers.Although eventually everyone become aware of something is not right.But no one has any clue about what happened with her and why she has altered so much?
In the case of Jodha those painful memories hitted her more when she had no work for some time, and had nothing else to do.She walked over to the park. Of course, even the park couldn't make her feel better. While happy children are laughing, she is over here, emotionally dying. Jodha saw what happened every time she closed my eyes. Even when she didn't close my eyes. It was always there reminded her of what happened even more.Her sorrow gradually started to turn into extreme guilt.But she couldn't stop herself from desiring him.In those days her mind only occupied of thought about the crime she had committed... She apologized uncountable times to god. During day time she controlled her tears, but they spilled out every night while sleeping... her heart never felt this much suffocation and pain infact.
Jodha kept herself busy in final preparations.Exercising and Reading entire day even when she was suffocating inside.Little by little she was getting control over her feelings... Her tears completely dried out... but heart had still burning fire inside...She wished many time to see her Jalal.. Her heart wanted him but mind has controlled all of her emotions... she was living a mechanical life... surrounding was not mattered to her anymore... Alfred and Albert tried many time to pull her out her room but with painfully she said no..
She also decided to keep distance from Jalal after winning competition... Avoid his love as much as possible... She accepted that he won't love her if get to know about truth.No husband couldn't...She was in a emotionally brakedown state..Out of terror she had often freak out in middle of night and calling Jalal for help..She cursed her beauty first time after her marriage..She lost her every longing to be beautiful,considering it is her destiny Jodha robotically lead her life.
******************************
Venue:Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Vancouver
Canada
Final Round of Miss Switzerland Competition..
Finally the day of Miss Switzerland final arrived.Which held at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver,Canada.Final was an hour away but great make up hall was alive with talk,anxiety,nervousness and laughter.The beauty paegents were doing their final touch ups hastily.Their excitement and nervousness can be clearly read from their faces.On other side Jodha was sitting in her dressing room uninterested in anything.She didn't even allowed stylists to make up her.Watching her depressed behavior,Alfred made an effort to cheer her up
"There is no way I am going to wear make-up!" declared Jodha stubbornly like a baby girl.Both of them smiled at each watching her cute face
"Look Jodha ,I suggesting you need to do make up because blackness around your eyes just won't go away, you'll just have to use make-up to cover them up or something.My girl you were crying a lot these days !!.Look at yourself.Is this our Angel Jodha ?" Alfred made her understand.
Albert supported his brother "Yes,he is saying correct.Anyway you don't need any make up.Your natural beauty is enough for you"
Jodha faintly smiled at him and said painfully "Don't call me beautiful,I hate it..quite a lot"
"Oh my princess.Don't make yourself sad.Believe us every thing will be all right.Do you forget ? Your Jalal will also come to see your performance.Don't you want to look beautiful before him ?" encouraged Albert
A lone tear escaped from her eyes hearing that question "I had wished a lot for this moment..But it was before..I can't have the strength look into his eyes anymore.." Her tone was so hurtful for others.
Regaining control over emotions Alfred warmly embraced her with a brother's love and adviced her lovingly ""Jodha, this is a beauty contest, you are going to have to wear make-up anyway!"
"Maybe I didn't think this plan out to well..." again interrupted Jodha
"'Jodha," he said as he looked at her seriously, "you have nothing to worry about, the only reason anyone would stare at you is because of your unrivaled beauty and unparalleled intelligence." Jodha smiled at him.Taking this as a chance Albert managed to apply pink lip gloss on her ruby lips finishing with mascara adoring her eyelids..As stylists and their eam fluttered around her in next moment,fixing her hair and priming her face to perfection,Albert picked at the bright red nail varnish on her fingernails while she sorted jumbled thoughts and words into something hopefully a little more coherent.Her head was spinning with the revelations of the day, and annoyance and agony bubbled in her stomach as she thought about everything.
"Finished ?" asked Jodha in frustration.
"No way.You need to change this unattractive robe" suggested Albert
"Oh please.No way" Jodha tried walk away from there.But swiftly caught Albert
"Do it for these brothers sake" As both of them pleaded and she couldn't reject their care.Nodding her head slightly she said
"Okay.Then show me"
"How about this one." Alfred said holding up a new gown. Jodha looked at it and tilted her head slightly.
"Hmmm..." Jodha stated. "Nice... I'll go try it on..." she took the suit from him as she passed and made way to the changing rooms. Albert smiled after her. Alfred laughed.
"What the heck are you laughing at Alfred" Albert sked with a slight tone of irksome in his voice.
"Duuno Alfred.That gown is specifically made for her.I have pretty sure that she will hypothesize everyone in that dress"
"Of course she will" Alfred spoke in an assuring way passing a pleasing grin at Alfred.
Shortly Jodha came out of the dressing room and stood in front of them (see below)
"So?" she asked in a self-conscious tone. Alfred stood, speechless, just staring. She was wearing a modest one piece, but he still had never seen her in anything other than simple corsets and light coloured gowns.But This was out of the world..Looking extremely hot in dress.
"Um...er...uh..." he sputtered suddenly forgetting how to speak English.Finally he gubed
"Oh your Jalal will love you more when seeing you in this robe.Simply breathtaking" Jodha's cheeks tinted red under his gaze,thinking about Jalal.It was the sole moment she smiled heartily in these days
"Looks good Jodha." Albert said after smacking Albert upside the head.
"Yeah, good, very good." Albert repeated enlarging his vocabulary to now three words.He shook his head and his comprehension of the English language rushed back into him along with his confidence.
"What do you think?" he smiled warmly, turning Jodha towards a full-length mirror on the wall across from them.
Alfred merrily suggested go her "Finding that golden moment you need to spin yourself.Then you will this dress's magic.Believe me it's something unlike audience had ever seen"
She smiled and stared at the girl in the mirror in surprise, from the top of her elegant hairstyle to the shimmering flame-red form fitting gown and to the flowing hemline that reached the floor. It tied right in to her costume in the beauty cat walk - where it had been a full-on flame, this was like a rolling inferno, and it was absolutely perfect.She wasn't merely stunning...She was on fire.
"Come on ..Come on.Let's go..let's go !! Contest is about to begin" Alfred pulled Jodha along with him while she came in between them,Albert on her left and Alfred on her right and she put her both arms around either of their waists and They put their arms around her shoulders and held her close...
"Walk with me" demanded Jodha.Their eyes become moist feeling Jodha's care and love towards them.
So the three of them strolled towards competition stage like siblings wie thinking and caring about nothing more than being together.While walking with them Jodha couldn't help but thought herself
"Tonight my final, shown across the nation of Switzerland live, broadcasting my fears and anxieties on the television screen of every citizen of our fine, fair country.I have already lost my dignity and my life.Then what it makes change in my for winning a Miss Switzerland crown.I lost..my dream and my life" Taking each steps towards theater he heart was bleeding with pain.Even then she hard worked to plaster a genuine smile on her face .
Witnessing Jodha's distracted mind Alfred made an endeavor to some hope on her broken heart
"Now just wait a second, hear me out Jodha! We need to get your judges. They will analyze your everything once you step foot off the stage and so far.You have made a sparkling impressions before.But the way they are going to see you now is, Saloni is a smart and lively, your important rival Katherine is sexy and smokingly hot and smart and audience's favorite Jodha is a tough, frigid girl - neither of which evokes excitement in the audiences or create impressions among judges.
"I don't care about their excitement or entertainment, I don't care about winning this Contest -" remarked Jodha angrily..
"Of course you don't, kid, because you're not thinking of what it's going to be like in the stage yet are you, Jodha ? Because when you get in there and you really,desperately need show what you really are...you incomparable and your bear and skills unmatchable"
There was silence as they both stared at Jodha with tense expressions on their faces. "So what did you think pretty girl.To whom you want to impress ?"
"Audiences ?" swiftly snapped Jodha
"That's right,the audience. They have the power to take you to the finish line if they're really behind you.See this is old our Jodha, bold,beautiful and genius.The girl who possess the beauty of becoming Miss World."
Alfred was probably right.Jodha flipped through her memories of past Beauty competitions and Victors,She gritted her teeth and listened to Albert's reasoning, already coming up with a millions of plans.She enigmatically smirked at them and confidently announced
"I know what to do.Watch this.I am going take that Miss Switzerland crown" When she said this both of them clapped in joy.
It was finally time for the Competition to begin. It was being held in the Great amphitheatre where a stage was now located. There was a large curtain through the middle of the stage,separating the crowd from the now frantic pageants that were backstage. Several rows of chairs replaced all the house tables, and were slowly being filled by VVIPS and Film stars
A spotlight lit the stage front and center, showing Anchor of the show Jhonson standing on a platform at its front. "How are you tonight, Vancouver?" he yelled and pointed his microphone at the audience.The crowd roared. He put a hand to his ear and they screamed louder.
He continued..."Welcome, welcome! Miss Switzerland Competition! And may the odds be ever in your favour.! . One will now have to wait to a small amount of time to find out that who will be the winner of the most coveted beauty pageant of the year and will be the perfect match of both beauty and the brains.
"Let's see who will be the next Beauty Queen.We will test their beauty...We will test their brains...We will test their fashion sense...We will test their talents...We will test their personalities...And we will test a whole bunch of other stuff.Of course Miss Switzerland is not about beauty.So my fellow candidates,In this contest you will have to show off your beauty s well as your brains.Of course there will be a talent portion, in which the contestants must display her intelligence there will also be a question and answer portion like an interview, a logic portion, and of course a beauty portion. The question and answer portion will be not be textbook answers, but opinions as well. That is as much detail as I can go into right now.Alright then it's begun.Thanks all of you" Jhonson stopped with that he left and the whole crowd become silent awaiting the next program...
The stadium lights went off and a blue light illuminated just the floor of the stage. Four sets of feet moved through the blue glow. The roar of the crowd was deafening.Hollywood super stars Bradpit,Robert Downing Jr,Pop singer Madona,Victoria Beckham appeared on stage as judges of the competition and Finally it was Jhonson who accompanied an unexpected judge female's hearthrob Justin Bieber.The crowd roared viewing them,bodies undulating against each other in a sea of flesh and sweat before the stage.Mothi was standing there among crowd to watch her friend's performance lively.She was so excited and praying for Jodha's win
Jhonson spoke into the mic again. "Please welcome our judges" He familiarized with Judges to fans.And after some formal introduction he curiously questioned
"So Who will be this year's Miss Switzerland...What do you think about that?"
"Cleopatra...Jodha...Jodha...Jodha..Yeah...yeah..." The crowd roared taking Jodha's name when Anchor's question of "Who" poured from the speakers.Watching fans support for Jodha ,Mothi almost thrilled.She cheered with the rest of fans, waiting for more.
