CHAPTER 2 Jodha" hamara vivah hoga na...bapusa manenge na?"( we will get married no? bapusa will agree na?)
"kyun nahi hoga?? hum aapko apna begum banake rahenge... aur agar aapki waalid ne mana kar diyatoh hum aapko bhaga kar le jaayenge..."( why won't we get married... i will make you my begum for sure... and if your father disagrees for it then i will kidnap you and take you away)
Jodha starts blushing😳
" ham dono sirf nau varsh ke hain... ab toh kitne varsh baaki hai...aur aap...mitra... mitra...aap thik toh hain na??"
(we are only nine years old..and you... friend..friend... are you fine)
"haan shehzaadi...bas hamara sir chakkar kha raha hai..."
(yes shehzaadi... just feeling dizzy)
"ek kaam kijiye... aap yahin rukiye...
(you wait here) she comes back with a pot carrying water... and a leaf carrying some herbs...she gives it to them and says
"ratri kaafi ho chuki hai aap so jaiye... hame lautna hoga... varna maasa chintit ho jaayegi...shubh ratri"(it's toolate... i should leave now..)
"shabba kheir shehzaadi ya phir begum..."
(good night shehzaadi or begum)
jodha blushes and goes away from there...
"nahin... hum aapki begum nahin hai... nahin banenge ham aapi begum... nahin banenge.."(no...iwill not become your begum ... never)
"jodha jiji...jodha jiji...kisse baat kar rahein hain aap..."(jodha jiji... with whom are you talking??)
suddenly Jodha wakes up and gets to know that it was sukanya...and till now she was dreaming...
"jiji aap thik to hain na? rote rote aapki aankh lag gayi aur achanak se aap chillane lage...kheir chodiye... chaliye... vivah ke purv saari rasmein poori karni hai... ratri ko aapka vivah hai aur ab tak rasmein bhi aarambh nahi hui hain..aap jaldi taiyyar ho jaiye.."(you are fine right jiji... while crying you went off to sleep and suddenly you started screaming... come down...it's time for the premaritual rituals... come fast...)
"hmm"
Jodha comes down for the haldi rasam wearing a beautiful yellow saree
everyone are mesmerizedby her beauty... they thought...without makeup,jewellery and designer saree if she is looking so beautiful then with all these what would she look?
now it was time for the marraige... the moment jalal awaited the most... the moment jodha didn't want to come... the moment where the moonlight would shine on both of them smiling to see the hatred which would soon convert to love...
Jodha was in her room and didn't want to go down when sukanya and shivani come and say "aap abhi tak taiyaar nahi hui...aaiye ham aapko taiyaar kar dete hain...( you are still not ready...come we willmake you ready)
"nahi shivani... agar hame kisise taiyaar hone ki aavashyakta chahiye hoti toh ham apni daasiyon ko yahaan se na bhejte... ham khud taiyaar ho jaayenge..."(no shivani... if i wanted any helpin getting ready i would not have sent awaythe daasis...i will get ready by myself)
"thik hai jiji...ham chalte...baraati aane hi vali hai"(okfine... we are going down as the baraati has already came)
and she leave...
jodha says" hame toh bas pratiksha hai ki kab ye aansoo nikal jaaye aur ham kajal lagae un aansoo ki rekhao ko mita sake...khair...ab taiyaar hone ka samay aa gaya hai jodha... amer ko bachaane ka samay aa gaya hai.."( i am just waiting for my tears to come out so that i will hide their lines by putting kajal... leave it... now it's time to get ready... it's time to save amer)
she wipes away her tears and gets ready...
down there in the hall:-
bharmal welcomes the baraati
mainawati is there with her pooja thal...
jalal was standing and behind him...maham anga, shareefuddin, adham khan,abdul and adgah sahab
(character sketch- Abdul- Jalal's spy and best friend
adgah Sahab-jalal's most trusted general)
mainawati does the aarti of Jalal and says...hamare yahan ek rasam hai shehenshah... ham apni jamai ke naak khichenge...(we have a ritual here... i will pull your nose)
maham anga" ye nahin ho sakta... shehenshah ye sab nahi karenge..."(this can't happen...shehenshah will not do all this...)
jalal smirks and turns his head on the other side and says" phikr mat kijiye badi ammi...yeh ab hamari hone wali begum ki walideen hain...ye aisa kar sakti hain.."( don't worry badi ammi... she is my would be bride's mother... she can do this)
maham anga is shocked...
after all this...
the priest"kanya ko bulaya jaaye.."
(call the bride)
sukanya and shivani bring Jodha...she has her veil on
they exchange vermalas and do the pheras...
the priest" ab var vadhu ko sindoor aur mangalsutra pehnaayenge..."
(now the groom will put sindoor and and mangalsutra on the girl's forehead and neck respectively)
jodha's heart starts beating very fast... she knew this moment would come and was prepared but now she was feeling scared...jalal uncovered her face and was mesmerized by her beauty... he made her wear the sindoor and mangalsutra... jodha closed her eyes...
after every ritual jodha was made to go to her room and all her sisters were waiting outside...
when jalal came...
"itne jaldi aagaye... hame nahin pata tha ki aap itne bechain hai.."
(you came so early... we didn't know that youare so eager..)
"dhat... inhe tang mat karo... bechare jijaji... unhe jiji ke paas jaana hai..."said another and they all started laughing...
("dhat... don't tease him...poor he...he wants to go to jiji")
"acha acha jijaji... aap ek kaam kar sakte hain... hamein jo chahiye woh dijiye aur jaiye apni patni ke paas"
(ok ok jijaji...we can leaveyou on one condition)
Jalal" acha aur woh kya hai..?"
(and what is that?)
"hamein aap kal baith ke saari baatein vistaar se bataenge ki aaj raat kya kya hua..."
(tomorrow you must tell all of us what happened tonight)
"phir toh rehne dijiye... ham kahin aur rehlenge"
(then leave it... i will find another palace to stay)
"ohh ho... yaani ki bahut kuch hone vaala hai..."she winks to shivani
(that means may things are going to happen)
mainawati comes there and says" apne jijaji ko tang mat karo...unhe andar jaane do"
(stop disturbing him... let him go)
jalal goes inside
he sees jodha sitting there in a corner of the bed...she gets up.. touches his feet and gives him milk... jalal without looking at anything leaving jodha drank up almost the whole glass of milk when jodha snatches away the glass from him and says... ye aadha pati peeta hai aur aadha patni... bahut ratri ho gayi hai... shubh ratri(this milk is to be drunk by husband wife both...it's too late... good night) and jodha drags a thread and creates a wall of curtains between them...jala also smirks and goes to sleep...
