_Chapter - 4_
"No one can save me now, god his eyes are scaring me... Something was wrong, god save me from his anger" she thought and headed towards where he is standing...
Jalal observed her every single move... He can sense her hesitation...
Jodha was looking down on the road, thinking deeply how to tell him what's her problem??? Then she bumped into him... She didn't notice that when she came this much close to him...
The close look of his' pained her heart like hell... Tears soaked cheeks , red face and eyes are heart wrenching...
She rubs his tears away... And nodded in a no... Indicating him not to cry... While his tears were flowing from her own eyes...
"you are the only reason for this" he whispered huskily...
Immediately maintaining the distance between the two... Jodha got some courage and rubs away his' and her own tears...
"Jalal... Please go... It will not look good... What if someone sees us together... Then it will not took that person to cook some story... Jalal you don't know..."
She was going on and on, blabbering even she doesn't know what... Jalal was just smirking, the girl who is standing in front of him is his 'Nonu' not the one who broke their friendship...
Her voice stopped and breathe got hitched in her throat when she watched her dad standing few meters away, talking on his phone, its his habit to walk after dinner...
She immediately pulled Jalal to his bike and pushed him a little bit indicating him to go...
Jalal frowned at this sudden change in her behavior and followed her gaze... Then he found out her dad standing there but didn't notice them till now... He immediately hoped on his bike and through his eyes conveyed her to sit behind...
Jodha eyes widened after understanding his indication... She shooked her head huffily conveying that she is not doing it at any cost...
Jalal face got adored by a devilish smile...
"fine... Then let's talk in front of uncle..."
"Jalal please go naa... Papa will kill me if he sees us together..." She said helplessly...
Jalal just shook his head in a no... Firmly declaring that today he wants to clear all this mess... And today means today only...
"ugghh... Jallad..." she muttered and sat behind him...
"I heard that..." Jalal playfully retorted...
"that was mean to be heard... Chalo ab... Or waiting for Christmas??" she said annoyingly and tied the stole around her face, which she was carried around her neck, so that no one can recognize her...
Jalal smiles ear to ear... Finally everything is falling on place...
*****
"Where are we??" Jodha asked while opening her stole and looking around... Its a secluded area...
Jalal just parked his bike and stand leaning against it while his hands folded across his chest...
"Kya hai??" she snapped at him irritatingly when she found him looking oops ogling at her...
Jalal smiles sheepishly and took out the friendship belt that she had given him back from his pocket... Jodha face turned pale reminiscing their current friendship status...
"Now madam will you enlighten me on what happened??" he asked sternly...
"nothing happened..." Jodha said plainly...
Jalal closed his eyes to stop himself from busting on her...
"Look Nonu... For the last time m asking what had happened??" he said while gritting his teeths...
Jodha gulped hard... She can't hold it any more... She can't hide it from him... She knows that after this maybe they will not remain 'Friends' but he has a right to know...
"what should I tell him?? Will he be ok with it?? How he is gonna react?? Krishnaji help me naa.." Jodha was busy in her thoughts, when a voice broke her riverie...
"Kya soch rahi ho?? How to say? What to say?? Right???" he knows his nonu inside out...
"nahi... Vo to bas i was just thinking..." Jodha fumbles at her words...
Jalal sighs deeply and ran his fingers in his ruffled hairs...
"say it nonu!!! You can't hide it from me..." He said as a matter of fact...
Jodha prepared herself and
"Jalal... Vo di comes to know... Maa started to shout... Papa... I don't know what... Di snatched my phone..." and again she kept blabbering... Jalal is not getting anything, its her habit, whenever she is nervous or upset... She starts to blabber like this...
"woah... Easy girl..." But he got cut off by her...
"nahi idiot... Vo maa told me... Papa declared if I ... Di started her taunting..." She goes on and on and on...
Jalal again tried to stop her "Jo... First..." again same thing repeated
"stop it... Listen me... Then papa deleted all pics... Maa doesn't made food for me... Di didn't even let me..."
And there she goes again Jalal thought... And kept watching her trying to understand and find logic in her blabber... But he can't figure out what she is saying...
After sometime Jodha watch Jalal who is busy in scratching his back of neck and looking like a lost pup... She stopped...
"Ho gya??" Jalal asked when she stopped...
"are you even listening dumbo!!!" Jodha shouted in frustration, here she is remembering each and every single detail so she can tell him and he is behaving like a jerk...
"Nonu cool down... Now say" he said...
"what??? From last 10 minutes I am just talking and you idiot..."
"oye please phir shuru mat ho jana..." Jalal huffed...
"ok!! I will ask questions just answer and please don't become hyper..." Jalal said while making her lean towards his bike...
She nodded in a yes...
"What did di come to know about??" he asked
"About US!!" Jodha replied meekly...
Jalal looks confused, what connection does this thing has with them...
"So?"
Jodha held his hand for support before telling him... He tightened his hold on her, his curiosity incresased incredibly after sensing the seriousness of the matter...
She shivered while reminiscing about the 'fiasco' that took place after di come to know about it... Her father's dangerous warnings, di's beating round, maa's heart piercing taunts... All bad memories came back... Resulting in tears escaping from her beautiful doe shaped eyes...
"Di took our friendship in a different way... She thought that we are in a relation..." and she told him whole story... She broke down while hugging him...
Jalal was shocked would be an understatement... He is completely flabbergasted to zenith...
The last thing which she said is out of his league...
That her dad has fixed her engagement with his friend's son...
Jalal anger crossed boundaries today... How can her family do this to her... Anyhow he parted from her... And cupped her face, While rubbing his own eyes...
"Nonu don't worry... I will talk to di... And will clear this mess anyhow..."
Jodha held his hands and nodded in a no...
"It will only increase my problem Jalal..." She said in a low tone with hope in her eyes...
Jalal bit his lower lip but his teary eyes explained his shattered self...
*****
They reached back, Jalal left her at a safe distance from her house... Both pair of eyes are red due to shed of their pearls..
She got down and hugged him... This hug is much needed for both broken souls... He rubbed her back...
"Fine nonu... Everything is going to be fine... Don't worry and don't cry more..."
And he left, he too needs support... He don't want to break down in front of her...
After he left, Jodha felt lighter... Finally she told him, she turned to go around... But a gasp escape from her mouth, seeing her dad standing there with anger in his eyes...
