PROLOGUE

What happens when your past mingles with your present..

can you make sure that the mistakes made in past is not repeated...

A a modern story with desi tarka..

Part 1 (EDITED)

Sitting under the tree on a pond side, he stared at his girl, resting his head on her lap who was caressing his hair. He slowly got up & kissed her with much evident desire and passion.

His eyes flung open. He looked around & found himself on his bed.. alone. He got up to get ready as per is usual routine.

###

KHAN INDUSTRIES

Work wasn't able to hold his interest today. His mind kept replaying the dream. His eyes wandered back to the laptop screen trying to reign his thoughts. Another distraction came in the form of a knock on the door followed by the entry of a familiar face.

He needed an outlet for his weird dream and here was his rescue "Glad that you came Abdul, I need to talk to you about something."

Taking a seat opposite to him, Abdul answered "What happened Jalal?"

Getting no response from Jalal, Abdul was about to repeat his question when the former answered "I had a dream."

"What dream?"

Jalal said after a bit of contemplation "I was resting on a girl's lap..."

His concerned expressions long gone, an amused smirk replaced it. "Then?"

Jalal looked aside, embarrassed seeping in "I kissed her."

Suppressing the bubbling laughter, Abdul asked "Then?.. What did you do after that?"

Sensing the amusement in his tone Jalal rebuked "Then I woke up ...Give a break to your dirty mind."

Abdul asked the question bugging him "So what's the problem?"

"I am not able to forget that dream. I wasn't even able to see her face.. this mystery is getting me irked." He sighed.

Abdul was back to his teasing mood "Oh!! Now I get it.. so the main problem is that you were not able to see her face."

Not able to control himself any longer, Abdul laughed out loud.

Jalal glared at him "Here I am sharing my problem with you and you are laughing? I will kill you Abdul.."

Abdul "Using a gun or a knife?"

Jalal gritted under his teeth "My bare hands are enough for you."

Abdul controlled his laugh and said "Oh come on Jalal.. You kissed a girl, not a guy, that you are so freaked out. It's high time you find a girl for yourself or else who knows what types of dreams start haunting you."

Jalal grinned "What to do.. I never met anyone who is good enough to become your bhabhi."

Abdul chuckled "Ofcourse, you want a fairy decended straight from heaven, then what would these human girls do"

It cracked up Jalal "You are a devil."

Abdul replied proudly "I know. By the way, don't forget we are going clubbing tonight to celebrate my 2nd wedding anniversary with Shreya"

Jalal grinned "How can I forget man. It was the day you got slaughtered with a ring."

###

America

Sun rays peeped in the room to witness the glory of the sleeping beauty. Turning away she covered her face with a blanket. But sun was not the only one disturbing her... a loud voice roared again from another room " Jodhaaa..."

Irritated, she got up & made her way towards the desperate soul.

Jodha asked her flatmate cum best friend "Did hell break loose that you are going mad?"

Priya gave her a grumpy look "I am leaving for my office... And you are late. It's Monday, come out of your vacation mode. Don't forget you are overloaded with work as of now.. all of it an impact of your abrupt decision of going to India forever."

Jodha chuckled "Hmmm... Madam is angry because she won't have anyone to bear her tantrums."

"Why wait for another week, leave immediately. I am happy that I am going to have whole flat to myself and no one's gonna chide me for inviting my love here." Priya crossed her arms in anger.

"But I am definitely gonna miss you." Jodha sighed.

"Now don't make me cry. Go and get ready, you are already late. I have made your breakfast. Bye." She gave Jodha a quick hug and fled before her eyes gave up holding her tears.

###

India

Now a romantic dream didn't freak out Jalal as it did the first time. Going to bed in a hope of and waking up with a beautiful dream about his special someone was engraved in his daily routine.

Lying on bed he was thinking about the changes these dreams had brought in his life. The man who never thought about any girl in his life was going mad over a woman who teased him in his dreams by hiding her face from him. Soon enough sleep took over his exhausted form.

She was challenging him to catch her. He saw himself running behind her in a playful speed as if he himself didn't wanted the game to end quickly. After a lot of teasing, Jalal got hold of her hand and pulled her with a jerk resulting to a collision between their bodies. Finally the wait was over. There it was.. her mesmerising face. A rare beauty she was, giggling and blushing after getting caught.

After waking up, Jalal wasn't in a mood to go to the gym. An idea popped in his mind and he went to the store room. After a search of 20 mins, he came out with a box. Ignoring the world around him, he went to his study & locked it. Taking out the painting stand, colours & his paintbrush, he sighed.

After about an hour, the painting was complete. "Perfect" he exclaimed, a smile permanently plastered on his lips. Tucking the painting of his lady into a safe hiding place, he got ready to leave for his office.

His mom (Hamida) & sister (Nandini) were noticing his weird behaviour since many days, but today it was of a different level altogether.

Hamida "what happened son.. why are u behaving in such a weird manner"

Not able to come up with some logical excuse, he decided to leave at once "It's nothing mom. I.. I have to reach office a little early... A new drea... deal has to be finalised. Okay mom.. bye"

Watching the baffled man leave in a hurry, Nandini spoke "Mom... Is it possible that Bhai likes someone?"

Hamida having the same hunch replied "Maybe"

###

Jalal entered his cabin to find Abdul sitting there with a smirk.

Before Jalal could have said something Abdul jibbed "Why are you smiling like an idiot?"

Heat rushed to his cheeks compelling him to turn aside to hide his face from his devil friend. But whom was he kidding. Abdul caught his blush "Ahem ahem someone is blushing. Please tell me Jalal what happened."

Jalal gave in "Come with me.. I'll show you something."

Abdul looked on confused "What? Where?"

Jalal replied "At home."

Abdul was amazed and shocked in equal proportions "First of all YOU come office late.. the person who always gives us gyan on being punctual. Then, when you come.. you come with an idiotic smile. Then you blush like a schoolgirl. And now you are the one who wants to bunk. I cant believe this is happening."

Abdul took out his pen and directed towards Jalal "Who are you? Where is Jalal? By the way where did you go for plastic surgery?"

Jalal punched him lightly on his shoulder "You want me to kill you?"

Abdul jumped "Oh teri!! This is Jalal only."

Reaching khan mansion, Abdul asked "Have you found my bhabhi?" He asked a lot many questions during the whole ride but silence was all he got.

When they treked upstairs, Abdul asked "In your room? You are very fast bro."

Jalal fumed "Don't put so much pressure on your little brain. I am gonna show u the photo of your would be bhabhi. Happy? Now just keep quiet & come with me."

Abdul's excitement reached its peak "Really? Wow"

They entered his study room and Jalal took off the cover from the painting. Abdul was stunned by her beauty. Jalal punched the stumped man beside him "She is your bhabhi"

Abdul giggled "Hmmm... possessive... but who is she?"

Jalal scratched his neck "I told u that dream na."

Abdul said "Dream girl "

Jalal smiled "I saw her face today. How much she made me wait for just one look... teased me for so many days in my dreams to just turn towards me once."

Abdul replied "She is even beyond any poet's imagination. If u will wait for her... u will remain a bachelor.

Jalal answered "So be it."

Abdul cheered "Let's celebrate this occasion."

Jalal "Ofcourse. Let's go clubbing tonight."

Part 2 (EDITED)

As the announcement of landing was made Jodha beamed in excitement. Finally she was back to India after 20 years. After arranging her stuff in her home she went to a temple nearby. Spending some time there to calm her mind, she got up to leave.

On the way back home she saw a crowd gathered on one side of the road. Pushing in through the crowd she saw a young man badly injured. An old lady, probably his mother was crying & asking for help but they were merely watching the scene with pity. She hurried towards them and checking the pulse of the man, simultaneously dabbing the injury with her kerchief to stop the blood. She got up and signalled for a cab or lift.

Finally after a while a car stopped in front of them. With help of some men standing there, the injured person and the lady settled in the back seat of the car while Jodha took a place on the front seat. They hurried towards the hospital. He was admitted in ICU. After 10 mins of examination, the doctor informed them that a minor operation would be required but then there isn't any need to worry. The lady Jodha and the car owner, i.e. Jalal, for their help.

Jalal and Jodha made their way outside when Jalal said "All this time, seeing your concern, I was assuming that he is your relative.. it's very unusual in this era to find someone help a person selflessly. I am very glad to meet you."

Jodha smiled at him and replied "People like you still exist. Even I am very glad to meet you."

Jalal offered "Your dress is soaked in blood. Shall I drop you at your place?"

Jodha denied politely "No no... its ok... I'll take a cab. You already gave us much time of yours."

Jalal asked "You sure?"

Jodha smiled in response and left. After reaching home, she went straight to the shower. Her thoughts were captured by Jalal. His eyes had a different type of shine in them. She could read astonishment, curiosity, confusion, uncertainty and above all admiration and love. She sighed when she realised she forgot to ask his name.

After having dinner, she decided to take a walk. It was quite chilly outside. She changed into jeans & top with a leather jacket and black scarf. While coming back, she was spotted by some drunk men. They started following her, passing disgracing comments. She panicked and ran to save herself from getting caught by them. She covered her face with the scarf and hid in the parking lot of a building. Losing their track, the drunk men left.

She was sitting in a corner praying to Kanha for her safety when she felt a revolver against her head. Jodha had not yet come out of the trans from that harassment session & now this.

She was about to turn when she heard a determined menacing voice "Don't try to move on your own accord otherwise..."

She went numb. His voice roared "Move... straight"

Jodha did as she was said. She was led inside the building & then to a luxurious room where a man stood facing his back towards them.

"Sir, we found him in the parking area of the next building."

He turned around making Jodha shocked. Turning her head a bit she realised that the person holding gun was a police.

Jalal questioned "But others are on the top floor"

Officer answered "He might have escaped."

Jalal dismissed the situation "Arrest him."

The officer got hold of her hand making her jump in fear. She immediately jerked off his hands and moved away till her back got wall's support. She shouted on the verge of tears "Don't touch me."

Taken aback by the development that it was a girl standing in front of him, scared of being touched, Jalal ordered "Call a lady inspector."

Jodha asked "What's going on?"

Jalal mocked "Punishing the trespasser. What were you doing there?"

Jodha shivered seeing a different side of Jalal altogether "I was going home when some drunk men started misbehaving with me. Somehow i managed to run from there and hid in that.."

Jalal cut her short "Why should i believe that you are not with these terrorists "

FLASHBACK:

Changing his plans of going to office, Jalal reached home. He was thrilled to have found his love. Now she wasn't merely an imagination of his. She really exists. He blushed. Five seconds was all it took for him to fall in love with her all over again. Those innocent eyes were enough to make him forget everything else in the world.

His mobile broke his chain of thoughts. He was confused on why was the commissioner calling him. Nevertheless he answered. "Mr Khan.. some terrorists have hijacked the khan hotels"

Jalal was shocked "Oh god! Is everyone safe?"

He heard the commissioner say "We have rescued the people inside the hotel and the terrorists have captured the top floor... We can't reach them."

Jalal said "I am coming."

Flashback ends

Irked by the baseless question she asked "And why do you think I am with them?"

Police officers left as more force was needed upstairs.

Jalal shrugged "Fine then... Remove your mask, prove your identity and leave."

Nervousness and fear seeped in. Presence of no other soul than the two of them ignited her fear. Meekly nodding a no she stuck to the wall.

Jalal asked "You seem familiar. Who are you?"

After few minutes the officers came and informed that all the terrorists were caught & they asked him about what is to be done with Jodha.

Jalal answered "Leave her... she is innocent"

Officer asked "Ok sir.. shall we leave?"

Jalal greeted them warmly "Yes... Thank you." He continued with a pause "But first of all I want this girl to safely reach her home. Send some lady officers with her & make sure that she should not be harmed in any way."

He left leaving a perplexed and curious lady behind.

A month had passed since that incident. The annual reunion party of businessmen was due tonight and Jodha was nervous thinking about her public appearance. Despite being a well known software engineer, she always kept herself away from media. Although the name "Jodha" was no secret to the world, but the face behind it had remained a mystery till now.

She got ready wearing a black gown with diamond earrings and bracelet. As her car entered the destination, she sighed. Putting up a confident and humble smile, she walked in while media covered her introduction given by the chairman of Infosys. She had joined Infosys 3 weeks back and had developed a new software, and the main reason of her presence in this party was that she wanted to invite all the businessmen for its launch.

He introduced her to Jalal "Meet Mr Jalal Khan.. businessman of the year for past 4 years.. And Mr Khan... She is Miss Jodha Singh... the infamous software engineer."

Jalal extended his hand "Hello.. nice to meet you" As the chairman of Infosys left Jalal added "again"

Jodha gave a full blown smile, shaking his hand "Hey.. it's you... The Jalal Khan."

He gave her smile "You have been a mystery for a while Miss Singh."

Jodha smirked "You yourself are nothing less. My face was a mystery and you are yourself a mystery." Hinting at his private lifestyle she got a chuckle for her befitting reply.

Jalal asked "So... Liking India?"

Jodha beamed "Ofcourse. I always envisioned living in here." Some other businessmen were there for introductions, so they had to leave their conversation there itself.

Reaching home, Jodha called her friend Priya and that desperate soul jumped straight to the topic "Hey Jodha.. Did u meet THE JALAL KHAN... How is he.. i mean is his killer looks really complemented with good nature and amazing personality?"

Jodha replied "He is nice.."

Priya teased "You remember that love story.. of princess JODHA & shehensha JALAL ud din Mohammad Akbar."

She stressed on the word Jodha & Jalal making Jodha irked "yeah... so??"

Priya giggled "You two will make a perfect match."

Jodha pressed her lips "Just because your independence has been snatched, doesn't mean you will hatch plans against mine."

Priya smirked "Fib all you want but don't deny the fact that you are interested in him."

Fidgeting with her dress Jodha replied "And why do you think I am interested in HIM?"

Priya shrugged and said confidently as if stating an obvious fact "Your attitude seems changed... your tone is too.. loving when you speak of him."

Jodha fumed "It's nothing as such.. you are imagining things."

Jodha was being teased for Jalal and he was dreaming of her, speculating on the recent developments. He wanted to talk to Abdul about it. He wanted to proudly tell him that Jodha does exist. But Abdul had to urgently leave for his home town to look after his ill mother.

Jalal opened his wardrobe where he had kept Jodha's painting, to keep it safe from his mom & sis's curious eyes. He himself didn't knew if they could be together... how can he give hope to his mom & sis & later break it. He smiled to himself and then sighed remembering the beckoning work.

Part 3 (EDITED)

Gulping a whole glass of water Jodha tried to calm her racing beats. The challenge of giving presentation to perfection wasn't the reason behind her state, but the thought of giving a presentation in his presence was.

She walked into the auditorium and started the introductions about that software. Her eyes scanned the audience seeking for Jalal. She beamed inwards having spotted him sitting calmly in the third row. His eyes were guarded, expressions were difficult to read, with no nonsense attitude. Realising that he was becoming a distraction, she glanced elsewhere and continued.

After finishing her presentation and answering the questions asked by the audience, she thanked them for attending the conference and took her place in the front row. The PR head took over the procession and announced the starting price to be 10 crore.

After a while the price halted at 16 crore 24 lakh. The PR was about to finalise the deal when a voice resonated in the auditorium attracting the attention of everyone present there "25 crore"

After the bidding started, Jodha had been observing Jalal. He was sitting quietly as if he wasn't interested in this software. Then why such a sudden lurch in price.. But then when had he ever done anything which she had expected.

Deal was finalised... three months venture it was. Khan industry would be processing and testing the software and will launch it in the market afterwards sharing the profits in the agreed ratio. Jodha being the developer of the software, had to carry out her work from his base office.

###

Jalal reached office half an early than his usual time, exited to meet Jodha. His phone buzzed bringing him out of his thoughts.

Jalal greeted "Hey buddy... where are you? You were supposed to come back today."

Abdul replied "I am on my way to office. Now tell me what's so special in this software that you bought it for 25 crore?"

Jalal shrugged "I don't know.."

Shocked, Abdul asked "What? Then who should be knowing?"

Jalal smirked "Just come here, you will have your answers."

Jodha reached the head office of Khan industries and inquired about Jalal's cabin. She took a deep breath standing outside his cabin. She could feel her heart racing.. again. After calming her frantic nerves she knocked on the door getting a commanding answer "Come in"

Slowly opening the door, her eyes caught the sight of the man standing back facing her who was busy on his phone. Her eyes were scanning the artistic eye catching chamber when she heard Jalal's voice "I will make your life a living hell if you dare to even think about harming my family." Frustrated, he disconnected the call and gritted "What happened Rukaiya?" Although he didn't shout, but his voice had the power to make the person shiver with fear.

Jodha replied meekly "It's Jodha"

Swiftly turning back he saw Jodha giving a nervous smile to him. He apologised "I apologise Miss Singh... please have a seat."

Jodha took her seat opposite to him when Abdul entered with a knock. Not expecting anyone in here so early, and brimming with curiosity Abdul bombarded his question without noticing Jodha's presence "Now tell me about this software or else.."

That is when he saw Jodha and the first thing that came to his mind was Jalal's painting. In shock he blurted out "BHABHI"

While Jalal tried to compose himself, Jodha whispered in shock "What?"

arealising what he said Abdul tried to cover it up "Bhai abhi (bro now) you seem busy. I'll come later"

Jalal smirked at his comeback and questioned Jodha with an innocent face "What did u listen?"

Jodha smiled nervously and replied "No.. nothing."

Jalal changed the topic to spare Jodha from further embarrassment "Abdul... meet Miss Jodha Singh, the software engineer." Turning to Jodha he continued "And Miss Singh.. he is Abdul, Head Manager of Khan Industries."

After a formal introduction with Jodha, Abdul toh his leave passing a teasing smirk to Jalal.

Jalal humbley said "Come.. I'll show you your cabin."

Jalal, Jodha and Abdul were in Jalal's cabin discussing about the project when lunch break started. Having been in each other's company for more than two months, trio had become good friends.

Jodha was about to leave when Jalal called her "Jodha... please join us."

"Ofcourse" she grinned.

Abdul sighed "I am starving.. let's start."

Plastering a fake smile Jalal said "Ofcourse buddy... eat these plates & spoons."

Jodha jibbed "Then you only decide what should we order."

Making a horrific face Abdul cried "no Jodha.. he will order those dishes which is not meant for humans to eat.. only he can eat those boring food... he will starve us to death.."

Jodha giggled at Abdul's fabrications while Jalal glared at Abdul "I am placing the order.. if you want, you can eat.. else go to your wife and eat what you love."

Abdul grumbled "You... double meaning king.. don't talk about Shreya like that.."

Jalal shrugged "You only don't like my choice."

Abdul complained "You eat very boring food."

Jalal "Oh really.. okay! I challenge you that if you can resist the food which I order... I will do whatever you say me to... & if you will not be able to control your hands from reaching the food.. you will have to do what I wish for.."

Abdul looked at him doubtful "Okay, done."

Accustomed to the workaholic Jalal which she faced all throughout the month, Jodha was pretty surprised and shocked to see this fun loving Jalal.

Passing a 'beware' grin to Abdul, Jalal typed the names of the dishes. After a light hearted conversation of 5 minutes, a waiter arrived with the food and started serving when Jalal spoke "Don't serve to Abdul. He's not in a mood to eat." Earning a glare from Abdul, Jalal chuckled satisfied.

Well acquainted with buddies drama, the waiter looked towards Abdul waiting for his response further irritating Abdul.

Abdul grumbled "I won't eat."

After the waiter left, real drama of Jalal started. Taking a bite of kulcha & dipping it into chole Jalal savoured it closing his eyes "mmm... it's sooo delicious. Abdul wanna try? Nah.. you won't eat the food ordered by me. It's okay, I will eat it... hehehe"

Jalal chuckled at the deadly glares darted at him by Abdul "Jodha... I think Abdul has changed his mind about eating food & now wants to eat me..."

Jodha & Jalal laughed out loud.

Abdul gave up "fine.. you win." He helped himself with the dishes ignoring their teasing gazes.

####

KHAN MANSION

Jalal reached home & found Nandini sitting on the sofa throwing mysterious glances at him "What happened? Developed a new hobby of roaming around in the house at night??"

Nandini smiled sarcastically "Oh no bhai... I was waiting for my boyfriend"

Jalal comfortably placed himself beside her "You didn't tell me about having one. I shall also wait to meet my little sister's choice."

Nandini pouted "I am only mad to wait for you. First of all you came late & now taunting me."

Jalal smiled "Tell me what happened that kept my sister awake so late at night."

Nandini asked with a mischievous grin "What took you so long to come bhaijaan?"

Jalal sensed the naughtiness in her tone "I was with my friends."

Nandini "Friendsss or special friend?"

Jalal "This was your important topic that kept you awake? I am really very tired and wanna sleep."

"So you want me to ask you all this in front of mom?"

"Ask me what?"

"what made u so tired bhai"

Although he was shocked by the shameless question but his face expressions betrayed nothing "Actually, after that party... I had a party of my own."

Not prepared for such bold resort, she fumbled to voice out other questions.

Jalal yawned "If you just wanna irritate me with this nonsense, continue it tomorrow... please sis allow me to go otherwise I will fall asleep here only.."

Nandini "Wait wait wait.. promise me that you won't lie"

"Okay"

"You like Jodha?"

"Yes"

"What about her?"

"I don't know."

"Did you propose her yet?"

"No"

"Why?"

"I didn't get an opportunity."

"When will u propose her"

Even in the party tonight, he was the scapegoat. An array of rapid fire questions again. Jalal sighed. "Come... I will do it now..."

"It's past midnight. Well.. I don't have any problem, but you go alone. Even better...its night... so if she says a yes... then... but bhai return tomorrow morning or if not satisfied atleast return till dinner time..."

Jalal's misunderstanding has been cleared till now. Before one hour.. he considered his sis to be innocent... but now he has come to know how INNOCENT she was.

Jalal "shut up Nandini.. I am not sure if she has someone else in her life"

Nimmi "Chill bhai... no girl can resist you... not only you look like a Greek god but you are even very rich & powerful... any girl would love to fall in love with you... I have decided that she will only become my bhabhi"

Jalal "Jodha is different Nimmi... she is not the one who runs behind money & power. Just because I love her doesn't mean she has to reciprocate my feelings. It doesn't mean I will force her to accept me. Its her life & only she has the right to decide for herself"

Nimmi "but bhai"

Jalal "nimmi... listen one thing very clearly... I pray to God that this doesn't happen.. but if.. if she likes someone else... I will never ever come in her way and yoh will dare not force me to confess my feelings to her.."

Nimmi "but why"

Jalal "Because I love her too much to snatch her happiness for me"

Nimmi was overwhelmed by seeing her bro's reaction who had always caged himself in the confines of work.

Nimmi "oh bhai... you wont believe how much peace & satisfaction your answer has given me... and how dare you think that your sis will can be so cheap that she would force a girl to accept someone... that I will pursue her to marry you unwillingly.."

Jalal gave her a confused look.

Nimmi acting like a host, folded her figures & kept it near her mouth as if it is a loudspeaker "so my dear audience... as you can see... MR. JALAL KHAN as usual is successful in his test... my bro has topped in the subject loveology & has bagged this KBP contest.. & as an award you get this.."

She forwarded held hand which had a ladoo in it. Jalal smirked at his devil's antics & took it "What's KBP?"

Nimmi giggled "Kon Banega Pati (Who will become Husband)"

Jalal "So may I leave my Sherlock Homes?"

Nimmi "no... first tell me why didn't you yourself tell about this to mom and me?"

Jalal "Because... I am not sure about Jodha's feelings. I don't want to give you both short lived hopes & happiness. What if..." He stopped midway and decided to leave.

Nimmi closed her eyes praying "God... Bhai loves Jodha very much.. please don't shatter his hopes.."

###

KHAN INDUSTRIES

Having the office work settled for time being, Abdul was in mood of teasing Jalal "You know Jalal... yesterday Jodha..."

Jalal probed "Jodha what?"

Abdul shrugged "leave it"

Jalal "Don't test my patience Abdul."

Abdul "First you promise you will not give me some tough task against that bet."

Jalal "Do you really have something to tell or just making a deal without bill"

Abdul "If u find my information worth it.. then its a deal.. & if not.. you can do anything"

Jalal "ok.. I am in"

Abdul chuckled "yesterday when you were acting all like a drama queen after challenging me about the food, i saw bhabhi staring at u with so much love.."

Suppressing the fleeting blush, Jalal poked further "and?"

Abdul teased "Am I telling you JODHA AKBAR story that will go on & on? That's it. So, you won't give me a tough task, right?"

Jalal "Okay okay. By the way, Nandini knows about Jodha"

Abdul "what??"

Jalal "And she is very exited to meet her. Today morning only she was asking me to arrange something."

Abdul grinned "Lets plan a house party in which our whole gang will be there... including bhabhi"

Jalal "But will she agree?"

Abdul "If she really likes you... she won't miss this opportunity to spend some non-workaholic moments with you."

Jalal "And if she denies?"

Abdul "She won't."

Jalal "Saturday, at my place? Even mom won't be at home, so she won't find out about Jodha unless I am sure about her feelings for me."

Abdul "Yes. All the best! Now go."

###

Jalal knocked on Jodha's cabin.

"Come in" he heard a sweet reply. Entering inside he saw Jodha smiling at him "Hii... you here.. come sit."

Jalal "Jodha... actually I..."

Jodha "hmmm"

Jalal "I wanted to invite you to the house party... in Khan Mansion. Our whole group will be there.. and..."

Jodha giggled "THE JALAL KHAN fighting for words"

Jalal "Actually it includes night stay... I don't know if you will take me wrong.. but.. mmm... our whole group will be there.. and my sis will also be at home.. would u like to join us"

Jodha "I admit that I don't know you for long.. but I trust you. By the way.. amidst explaining me that I will be safe there.. you forgot to tell me the date."

Jalal "This Saturday... wait a minute.. it means you don't have any problem accompanying us"

Jodha "Ofcourse not."

Jalal smirked "see u then."

Part 4

Jalal & the group were waiting for Jodha. They had arrived at 10:30 in excitement. Jalal's phone rang. He smiled seeing the name of caller & picked it up.

Jalal "hi Jodha"

Jodha "I am sorry Jalal.. I wont be able to come today."

Jalal "what... but.. but why.. what happened"

Jodha "hehehe.. relax Jalal... I am just joking"

Jalal heaved a sigh of relief.

Jalal mocked " You almost made me imagine the scene of my murder by my devil friends who are so eager to meet you"

Jodha chuckled.

Jalal added in a soft tone "& not to mention I am looking forward to spend some time with you."

Jodha was blushing listening him flirt openly with her. Although his eyes spoke than his lips but never he had flirted with her like this.

Jodha "Jalal.. actually I need a help"

Jalal smirked "ofcourse Jodha.. anything.. "

Jodha "Jalal if u don't have any trouble... do u have a driver who is free right now... mmm... can u please send a car to pick me up.. actually my car broke down & taxi drivers are on strike"

Jalal "oh common Jodha.. u don't have to justify me... just get ready... it would reach within 15 minutes"

Jodha "thanks"

Jalal "Now u are breaking the rule of no sorry & no thank you."

####

After about 20 mins Jodha opened the door hearing the doorbell. She was shocked to see Jalal there.

Jodha "Jalal.. u here"

Jalal "Why.. u wont go with me"

Jodha chuckled.

Jalal looked at her from top to bottom & cant help but let out a gasp. She was looking so sexy & innocent at the same time. She was wearing a pink one piece & white boots. Her long hair was open giving her a more enchanting look. Silver earrings adorned her beauty with a diamond bracelet shining like anything. Kajal increased the beauty of her captivating eyes. She had dressed so simply but was looking so ravishing.

Meanwhile Jodha was checking him out. He was dressed in informal.. it was the 1st time she had seen him in informal. White quarter sleeves shirt clinging to his muscles giving a feast to Jodha's eyes.. in contrast to his black denim. Platinum watch with diamond studded dial was completing his look with a sexy smile. He was looking like a Greek God who was trying to seduce her by his constant gaze.

Both of them knew that the other was checking them out. Their eyes met with each other which were mirroring their wild desires. Jodha felt very shy & broke the eye lock. Jalal smirked seeing her blushing. He himself was surprised at his own brazenness.

He forwarded his left hand which was till now at his back revealing the beautiful blue orchids "beautiful flowers for the most beautiful lady"

Jodha was feeling shy but was super excited. She happily took the flowers & said

"thank you... please come in"

Jalal sat on the sofa. He looked around & saw that everything was arranged so beautifully. The place was giving him a homely warmth. Everything had a tough of delicacy with beauty.. just like its owner Jodha...

Jodha offered him a glass of water which he happily accepted.

Jalal "so lets go"

Jodha "yeah"

She carried a small carry bag.

Jalal "give it to me"

Jodha "Oh please cut these formalities"

Jalal "are u giving it or shall i take it by myself"

Jodha "fine.. i surrender"

Jalal took it & both headed towards the door.

They reached the parking lot & Jodha realised that Jalal came here on self drive.

Jodha "Jalal... 1st of all u troubled yourself by coming here to pick me up... & then.. you came driving yourself... u could have sent a driver na"

Jalal "I came here on self drive coz I wanted to drive myself.. & its no trouble.. no more ifs & buts.. enjoy your ride"

Jalal opened the front door for Jodha. She happily sat in. Jalal kept the bag in back seat & came on the driving seat. He looked at Jodha & was happy that her face was gleaming like she was the happiest person on the earth.

Jalal stared the car "there's a surprise for you in the back seat."

Jodha "surprise.. wow"

She turned back & took the box which was looking very beautiful. She was thrilled to see her favourite chocolates. The transparent box was beautifully decorated with red ribbon & some other materials.

Jodha "why did u bring this particular chocolate"

Jalal "coz its your favourite"

Jalal remembered how happy he was when Jodha called him. His devil friends were trying to hear his conversation but he had already ran into the drawing room which had glass door. So they were only able to watch his expression change from shy to horror & then happy & then super happy.

He came out after he had done with the call & ran taking the car keys shouting that he was going to pick up Jodha. He didn't even wait for their reply.

On the way.. he thought of taking some gifts for her. So he went to a flower shop & took the most beautiful flowers.. although he wanted to take red roses but was afraid. Then he went to buy those chocolates which his lady love likes.

Jodha's voice dragged him out from his thoughts.

Jodha "how on earth do you know it"

Jalal "that's a secret... enjoy the mangoes.. don't waste time counting trees"

He smirked & Jodha gave him a murderous plus suspicious look.

Jodha "are you by any chance spying on me"

Jalal "I don't need to do that.."

Jodha "then from where did u know it.. tell na... please"

She made a cute face to get an answer.

Jalal "you had only told some days ago in the lunch break"

Jodha (astonished) "really... that's kind a wow.. I didn't remember telling it but u noticed it & as well as u remembered it"

Jalal "how can I even forget any moment spent with you"

Jodha blushed hard listening his seductive words.

Jodha "Flowers.. then chocolates... anything special.. as far as I know.. Your birthday is not today."

Jalal (smiled) "you are going to Khan Mansion for the first time & I wanted it to be special"

Jodha "oh common Jalal... break the ice.. I want to know the exact reason"

Jalal "fine... i will tell you the truth...yeah.. its not my birthday.. but the special occasion is that the girl who is the first one to sit in the front seat of my car is with me.. on the front seat."

A shiver ran down her spine. He had indirectly proposed her.

Jodha "to b honest.. i have sat in front seat only with u"

Jalal was amused. Jodha had accepted his indirect proposal in indirect way.

Jodha "but that day even u allowed me in this seat"

Jalal "yeah.. i allowed YOU"

He stressed on you telling her that she was the one & only one who had had this right.

Jodha "but u didn't knew me then"

Jalal "maybe my soul recognised u"

he smirked at Jodha's reaction. She was literally giving competition to Kashmir's red apples.

Jodha "Jalal.. i wanted to ask u something"

Jalal "yeah... say it"

Jodha "I don't know how would u react but..."

Jalal "don't worry Jodha.. just say it"

Jodha "Remember the day when some goons broke into Khan Hotels"

Jalal "Yeah, but how do u know about it"

Jodha (ignoring his question) "mmm... then a girl was found in the parking lot.. remember her"

Jalal "hmm.. but how do u know about that incident & that girl"

Jodha "it was me"

Jalal "what... do u mean that the girl whom police found was u..."

Jodha "yup.."

Jalal "oh Jodha.. that was not a safe time to roam alone"

Worry & fear was evident in his voice. What if she had not succeeded in running away... no.. he killed the thought even before it came in his mind. A shiver ran down his spine. Jodha saw fear in his eyes which was something new for her.

Jodha "Jalal... I am fine. I ran away even before they reached me"

Jalal "Jodha... never ever do something like that again... its too dangerous"

Jodha "relax Jalal.. if this world contains bad people like them... it also has loving & helping people like u.. I wanted to know how were you so confident that I was innocent?"

Jalal "probably experience... that day I heard fear in your voice.. a dreadful fear when that officer held your arm. You were so scared that you were not even ready to open your mask in front of me... even when all the officers had gone. Moreover I was pretty sure that the goons were not successful in escaping downstairs."

Jodha "I.. I didn't open my mask because I was.. I was scared"

Jalal asked confused "from what.. you were safe there"

Jodha "mmm.. don't take me wrong.. but i was afraid if u.. u tried to.. mmm"

Jalal asked horrified "u mean taking advantage of the situation? Everyone knows I am not that type of a person... I.."

Jodha cut in between "I know Jalal... I know you can never hurt anyone intensionally. I trust you more than anyone else in the world. It's just that the situation was different back then. I didn't knew you then. But now I do."

They had reached the entrance of mansion. Jodha kept the chocolate box in her carry bag.

Jodha was amazed to see the mansion. Huge beautiful garden with lots of beautiful colourful flowers gave a scene of heaven. Their was a beautiful fountain & amazing calmness & peace.

Jalal "welcome to Khan Mansion"

Car stopped & both came out from the car. A maid came & carried Jodha's carry bag.

The gang & Nimmi were there to welcome them. Jalal introduced Jodha to his friend Raj and his wife Madhu, Abdul's wife shreya and his sister Nandini urf Nimmi.

Nimmi pulled Jalal to a distance & said in a low tone

Nimmi "grihpravesh has been done bhai... but please don't rush in same way for SUHAGRAAT"

Jalal glared at her "shut up Nimmi.."

She giggled & ran away. Jalal also joined the group.

Abdul "lets attack Jalal's room."

He gave a devilish look to Jalal which was enough for Jalal that he is planning something devilish... & he has to be very very careful otherwise his love story would end even before beginning.

Nimmi went to attend some classes.

Rest of them followed Abdul towards Jalal's room.

They were really curious to see an overexcited Abdul literally dragging them.

All of them settled themselves on the bed.

Then Abdul gave a kick to his devil plan.

Abdul "lets check his cupboard"

He directly went towards the last cupboard in which Jodha's paintings were kept. Jalal jumped from bed & stood in front of it as if he is trying to hide it behind him. Everyone was really surprised seeing his behaviour specially Jodha.

Abdul said in a dramatic way "relax bhai... I won't steal anything... promise"

The gang was having a good laughter seeing Jalal's expressions. He showed mixture of anger, fear, plead & what not.

Jalal locked the cupboard & kept the key in his pocket & giving death glares to Abdul.

Jalal spoke in the lowest volume possible "u very well know whats there in it.. so stop behaving like a villan of the love story which is yet to start"

Abdul answered in same volume like that of Jalala "yeah.. i know what there in it... but Jodha should also know.. otherwise u will take alteast 10 to 15 years in making her my bhabhi.."

Jalal "i will propose her today in the evening... pacca"

Abdul "Oh my.. am I dreaming..."

He badly pinched Jalal & got a response of loud scream.

Jalal "ahhh.. pinch yourself to confirm if you are dreaming or not."

He starting rubbing the place where his so called friend pinched him. All of them started laughing seeing Jalal's grumbling face.

Raj "whats going on guys... let us also know... don't talk in that volume.."

Abdul "actually.. Jalal is saying that lets play truth & dare"

Jalal "when did i say that"

Abdul "fine.. i said it.. happy?"

Shreya "that's great idea"

Jalal "I m not going to play such stupid games"

Madhu "seems like someone is scared"

Jalal "who the hell is scared"

Jalal glanced at each & every one. His devil friends were giving him devil smiles... except Jodha who was looking at him innocently.

Jalal understood that these not so innocent killers were planning to take revenge on all his teasing & leg pullings.

Shreya "what are u hiding Jalal"

Jalal "nothing"

Shreya "then why don't you wanna play it"

Jalal looked at Jodha who was looking at him with a hope.

Jodha (thinking) "please tell me Jalal that u don't have another girl in your life.. whats the secret which u r hiding from me"

Jalal (thinking) "don't worry my love.. my life is only & only urs... even my dreams are engulfed in the thoughts of you my queen.. i will play this game to reassure u that u don't need to feel insecure."

Jalal "fine.. lets play"

Bottle was spinned & it pointed to Abdul.

Jodha "truth or dare"

Jalal (thinking) "u r lucky Abdul.. today i cant tease u all coz it would turn up ruining my love story.. but just for today u all r spared.. after i propose her u all will not b able to continue this.. then i will take my revenge.. hehe"

Abdul "Dare"

Raj (with a devilish grin) "call Megha & say her that u love her"

Abdul "are u mad... i m not going to call that mental that too for saying that"

Jodha "who is she"

Madhu "she was in our college.. Abdul loved her so much"

Abdul "what the hell.. she liked me.. i love only my babu.."

Saying so he kissed Shreya's cheek.

Shreya "awww"

Jodha "seems interesting.. what had happened"

Raj "once when we all were in canteen.. she came running towards Abdul & started trying to kiss him.."

Madhu "And Abdul pushed her & started running as if he had seen a ghost.. & Megha was chasing him.."

Raj "this tom & jerry game continued almost half hour"

Madhu " & the teasings continued for years"

Jodha started laughing along with whole gang.

Abdul "u r laughing.. haww..."

Jodha "so.. complete your dare"

Abdul "fine.. let your chance come Raj"

Jalal was enjoying the scenario being a silent spectator.. coz it was best for him..

Abdul looked at Shreya who gave a chill look so he agreed & called her.

The phone was kept on loudspeaker.

Abdul "hello is it Megha??"

Megha "yeah.. may i know whom i m speaking to"

All of them signalled them to speak.

Abdul "woh.. i love u"

Megha "wrong number"

Abdul "its me Abdul"

Megha "who Abdul... oh yeah... sorry bro.. seems like u took the incident seriously.. that was just a dare.. bye"

And the line went dead. Everyone gave each other a shocked look & all of them busted into fits of laughter... ofcourse except Abdul... he had the most grumpy face.

Madhu "hit h boss"

Abdul "shut up.. lets continue the game"

Raj "khoda pahad nikla.."

(he dig mountain & got...)

{its a proberb... which means that making huge efforts or expecting something hilarious & it turned out to b as minor as possible}

Madhu cuts "chuha"

(mouse)

Raj "nah.. chuha nahi.. nikla machar."

(no... not mouse.. its mosquito)

Abdul said looking at them having fun at his expense "ok guys... lets continue the game"

Jodha "sure... why not.. u will ofcourse wanna change the topic"

Abdul gave a defeated look & again insisted.

Then the bottle was spinned again & it pointed the person who was wishing to keep its pointer away from him.. Jalal.

Abdul "now say.. truth or dare"

Jalal (thinking) "I can't take truth or these vampires will eat me alive so i should opt for dare"

Shreya spoke dragging him out of his thoughts.

Shreya "oh shehensha Jalal ud din Mohammad Akbar... u r not to take some crucial decision about your saltanat... u just have to choose between truth & dare"

Jalal smirked & glanced at Jodha who was laughing & he was captivated by her beauty of smile. He was just staring at her with a cute smile dancing on his lips. An idea clicked in his mind.

Jalal "yeah.. ofcourse its not a decision about some crucial issue of my court.. but its like having two beauties in front of me... at that time i would have had privilege to keep as many wives i want... but things are different now... so... i m thinking which one to choose... which is even more crucial than the saltanat affairs.."

Shreya was clean bold with his answer. She didn't had any back question.

Jalal glanced at Jodha who was burning with jealousy. Although she tried hard to laugh but can't fake it in front of Jalal. He was enjoying the view of his jealous lover. Mere thought of some other girl with Jalal was capable of creating pangs of jealousy in Jodha. Jalal smirked at her possessiveness.

Jalal "mmm... dare"

Abdul (whispered) "convert your dream into reality... kiss your dream girl"

Jalal looked at Abdul as if the later was a ghost.

Jalal "shut up Abdul.. i had told u about my dream that doesn't mean u will make it a breaking news"

Abdul "hehe... now stop your drama.. & do what i say"

Abdul thought "this is the only chance... if not now it will b never... come on Abdul... do or die... hold on your heart & shoot it... its enough... enough of drama of bhai bhai..."

Jalal "fine.. what's my dare"

Abdul "u have to sing a romantic song dedicated to your someone special"

Jalal glared at him for saying the last two words.

Jalal "is this really a dare"

Abdul "why.. got scared"

Shreya "whats really daring in it

Raj & Madhu "exactly"

Abdul "no... u all decide the task in his next turn... its very obvious that he wont take truth ... so u all will also get chance"

Jalal "fine by me.. i didn't knew that u can give such easy dares to me"

Abdul "yeah.. last time when u took dare in the mall... Your dare was to have a handshake with a beauty... she was behaving so arrogantly with other boys.. but.. She started flirting with you"

He pouted.

Jalal "what to do.. i m so handsome.. girls cant resist me"

Jodha glared at him. If eyes could kill.. he would have been dead. Jalal laughed silently seeing Jodha's reaction.

Abdul (thinking) "time to drop the bomb"

Abdul said cautiously yet in audible voice "Jalalll... why don't u play guitar along with it"

He gestured his friends through eyes to support him.

As soon as Jalal heard it... the smile on his face vanished in a flick of second.

Everyone noticed it. They all knew the reason except Jodha.

Raj "its been a long time Jalal.. we wanna hear it"

Shreya "yeah.. u play it very fab."

Madhu "great idea"

They were just hoping that Jodha would support it. & maybe.. just maybe Jalal will agree.

Jalal "no guys.. its a bad idea.. & my dare was just singing a song... no guitar & all that stuffs"

He went towards the window.

Jodha went towards him while others just crossed their finger hoping for best.

Jalal was facing his back towards them.

Jodha asked in her soft voice "come on Jalal.. I also wanna listen to it"

Jalal "I haven't played it since years... I don't even remember the tunes"

Jodha had understood that it was something which he is avoiding & he really loves playing guitar.. but something is necessary to b solved. Abdul smiled listening Jalal giving explanations. He had never done this in case of guitar in past. He had simply denied. He was sure that Jalal will give in if... if Jodha would put up.

Jodha put her hand on his shoulder q"Jalal.. at least try it.. if u wont give it a chance how will u know if its worth or not.."

Jalal looked at Jodha with convincing expression as is saying not to ask such a thing.

Jodha added "I m sure u gonna rock it... plzzz... for me"

She looked at Jalal with puppy eyes & how can Jalal deny her. It was the 1st time his love had asked something.. how come he will not fulfill it.

Jalal sighed "I don't have my guitar.. It broke down long back."

Abdul (to himself.. in a super exited mood) "i knew it... yeah.. i knew it.. if Jodha will say.. Jalal will not b able to deny.. yippee"

Abdul "don't worry bro... Your guitar is fit & fine"

Jalal was shocked "how come"

Abdul "it's in Nandini's cupboard"

Jalal "and how do u know about this"

Abdul "she had brought back your guitar from the backyard after u threw it in a nearly destroyed condition... Nimmi cried a lot...she asked my help to get it repaired... & she wanted to keep it.."

Jalal asked in disbelief "u both really did this & hid it from me for so many years"

Abdul "sorry bro... whenever i had asked u to play guitar.. u either simply denied & spoiled your mood or u got angry & walked out... if i would have brought your guitar in front of u... this time u would have broken it into unrepairable form"

Jalal just remained silent & went to take his guitar.

Raj "thanks Jodha... u don't know how much this matters to us"

Jodha "please someone tell me what's it with the guitar"

Raj "his dad taught him to play guitar... & after his dad's death.. he stopped playing it"

Jodha "why?"

Abdul "coz his dad's death was not natural"

Jodha (shocked) "what do u mean"

Abdul "It happened when Jalal was merely 14. They belonged to a middle class family. But what is the definition of love.. what is family.. they were the best example.

Jalal's dad was a businessman.. although he owned a small scale business but their lives were perfect.

then came that bloody hindal mirza.. he joined in his company putting a mask of a friend and one day... he faked Jalal's dad signatures & took away everything from them. He snatched their business.. their home everything... He even bribed the police & they also didn't helped Jalal's family.. instead police killed Jalal's dad & they shut the file saying that gangsters attacked him.

Jalal was left with nothing other than responsibilities of his mom & sister. Being a bright student, Jalal got scholarship studies.. so his studies were not forced to be stopped due to lack of money...but other than that he had faced every misery to support his family.

He turned himself into a stone.. he never cried. Although he doesn't show but he was totally broken by his dad's death.. he loved him very much." Chocked with tears Abdul stopped and turned aside.

Raj took over "That day he pledged that he will become a great businessman and he would bring every comfort to his mom & sister.

he almost forgot what is meant by real living.. he just studied hard & did part time jobs to meet their expenses.. he did everything a person can.. and accomplished it all"

Abdul "we all tried many a times to make him play his guitar.. but he never did"

Jodha "then why did he agree today"

They just smiled. Jodha understood their silent answer & heat rushed to her cheeks at the realisation.

Jodha asked "what happened to that hindal mirza"

Raj "God punished him for his sins.. during his so called celebration of his betrayal.. he somehow tasted drugs.. gradually he became an addict.. which destroyed some of his internal organs.. & although he had money.. he died after a painful payback"

Jodha "did Jalal ever shared his pain with anyone"

Abdul "no... he likes sharing his joys.. & about pain & grief.. he have it all for himself.. coz he don't want others to get sad"

###

Jalal went to Nimmi's room & opened the cupboard. There it was... his long lost guitar which he had disowned a long ago. He touched it with his trembling hands & opened its black shinny wooden cover. He realised that the guitar was same as it was when he had held it for the first time.

He picked it up & hugged it tight. He was holding himself from a long time... he gave up & started sobbing like a little child "why did you leave me abujaan.. i loved you so much.. why... please come back na.. i have so much to share with you.. if you would have been here.. i would have told you about my love for Jodha.

we were so happy together.. why did that happen.. why did ever he came in our lives"

Wiping his tears he held a photo of his past when hid dad was alive. It was a complete family photo.

He felt really lucky to have such a loving sister & such amazing friends "I never thought that Nimmi would have kept it safe.. why u never told me Nimmi... u stupid"

He got up & washed his face & heeded towards his room. Jalal entered the room with guitar.

Jodha (thinking) "was he crying"

Jalal "Abdul.. when did u plan it"

Abdul "during lunch"

Shreya "& why the hell u didn't tell us"

Jalal (surprised) "u all didn't knew??"

Madhu "he is a devil"

Abdul giggled.

Jalal "but u could have added it in the dare"

Abdul "do u really think i can give u such a dare"

Jalal smiled.

Abdul "ok enough now... i m dying to listen you.. start it yaar"

Madhu dimmed the lights of the room giving it a romantic effect.

Jalal looked towards Jodha & then closed his eyes & started...

"Aankhon Mein Teri

Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Hoo Aankhon Mein Teri

Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Dil Ko Banade Jo Patang Saa Se

Yeh Teri Woh Haawaien Hai"

Jodha was mesmerised by his enchanting voice which had hypnotised her.

He opened his orbs & started straight into Jodha's expressive eyes in which he wanted to get drowned. He continued while gazing at her with intensity that made Jodha shy..

"Aai Aise Raat Hai Jo

Bhahut Khushnaseeb Hai

Chahe Jise Door Se Duniya

Woh Mere Kareeb Hai

Kitna Kuch Kehna Hai

Phir Bhi Hai Dil Mein

Saawal Hai Kahin

Sapno Mein Jo Roj Kaha Hai

Woh Phir Se Kahun Ya Nahi"

Jodha was just awestruck by the choice of words & emotions which his eyes held. She blushed very hard but thanks to dim lights.. it wasn't visible.

"Aankhon Mein Teri

Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Hoo Aankhon Mein Teri

Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Dil Ko Banade Jo Patang Saa Se

Yeh Teri Woh Haawaien hai

Tere Saath Saath Esha

Koi Noor Aaya Hai

Chand Teri Roshni Ka

Halka Sa Ek Saaya Hai

Teri Nazaron Ne Dil Ka Kiya Jo Hasar

Asar Yeh Hua

Abb Inmein Hi Doob Ke Ho Jau Paar

Yehi Hai Dua

Aankhon Mein Teri

Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Hoo Aankhon Mein Teri

Ajab Si Ajab Si Adayein Hai

Dil Ko Banade Jo Patang Saa Se

Yeh Teri Woh Haawaien Hai"

Sound of applause broke the couples eyelock. Jodha also joined the clapping session.

Jalal bowed a bit in a dramatic way & spoke "thank you ladies & gentlemen."

All of the rest chuckled at his childish antics.

Abdul jumped & hugged him "it was superb bro"

Shreya "u should have been a singer Jalal.."

Raj "did i heard it right... Jalal was singing a love song... i didn't knew u can b so romantic"

Madhu "but tell us a thing.. to whom is this song dedicated to"

Jalal glanced at Jodha who was blushing very hard.

Jalal "hmm good question.. U know Shehenshah Jalal ud din has so many beautiful begams that its difficult for me to dedicate the song to one"

Jodha's mouth dropped down. Jalal chuckled seeing her reaction.

Abdul saw all this & to save Jalal from Jodha's wrath.. he suggested..

Abdul "so.. lets continue the game"

Madhu "lets play something else"

Raj "are u scared"

Madhu "i m not"

Everyone giggled.

The game continued. Gradually Jodha's turn came.

Jodha (nervous) "truth"

Abdul whispered to Jalal "ask her if she loves u"

Jalal "shut up.. she would feel embarrassed"

Abdul "oh ho.. protective"

Jalal "i m... anyways.. ask her if she has any boyfriend"

Abdul "u r wicked"

Jalal giggled.

Abdul (loudly) "ok.. do u have a boyfriend"

Jodha knew it was Jalal's question.

Jodha shrugged her shoulders & said "no.."

Although Jalal was sure that Jodha loves him but he wanted to confirm that he is not ruining someone else's love.

After some more rounds all were tired. They decided to take rest. So all of them proceeded towards their rooms.

After a minute Abdul came out from his room & checked that no one was out there. He tip toed to Jalal's room & knocked it. After getting no response he slowly pushed open the door. But to his amusement Jalal was not there.

~~Jodha's room~~

Jalal entered after knocking & receiving a reply.

Jodha (surprised) "Jalal.. u here.."

He came very close but stopped at a decent distance so that Jodha doesn't feel uncomfortable. He bent near her ears & whispered in a husky tone "Jodha... did u like my song"

Jodha "u didn't answer the question asked by Madhu"

Jalal raised his eyebrow & asked "which question"

Jodha "leave it.. nothing"

Jalal "are u jealous?"

Jodha "why would I be jealous.. & of whom I should be jealous of?"

Jalal (thinking) "Its my sweet revenge for the torture you did on me by not showing me your face in my dreams. I will answer this question at night... when i will propose u under the shining moon & twinkling stars... they will witness our love. You just have to wait for few hours jaan."

Jalal "ok then.. if u r not jealous.. then tell me how was my song"

Jodha "why are u asking me... ask her only to whom u dedicated your song."

Jalal "coz u r the one for whom i sang it"

Jodha "what"

Jalal smartly diverted his sentence.

Jalal "I sang it coz you insisted me.. so your opinion does matter a lot to me"

Jodha "Atleast i have courage to ask u my questions directly"

Jalal "what do u mean"

Jodha "i know that truth's question was urs... u could have asked me directly.. i wouldn't have denied answering u"

Jalal "i thought u were mad at me"

Jodha "& why did u think that"

Jalal teased "coz everyone praised my song.. but u didn't even say a thing.. i sang it for u.. and u didn't even hug me while all others did."

Jodha teased"aap bohat acha gaate h... mujhe nahi pata tha ki iss sangdil shehensha k pass dil b hai aur woh kisi khushnaseeb k liye dhadakta bhi h"

(u sing very well.. i didn't knew that this cruel shehensha has a heart & it also beats for someone special)

Jalal smirked at her witty reply "kya hum sach much sangdil h"

(am i really a cruel person)

Jodha giggled & spoke "kya aap sach m shehensha h"

(are u really a shehensha)

Jalal chuckled & replied "ofcourse yes... zamin par nahi... hum dilon par raaj karte h.. nafrat nahi, hum mohatbat karna sikhate h"

(ofcourse yes.. not on land.. i rule on hearts.. not hate, i preach love)

Jodha was blushing hard. First of all that negligible distance between them was making her vulnerable & then Jalal's romantic talks were making her red.

Jalal (thinking) "oh Jodha.. don't do this to me.. u don't know how difficult it is for me to control myself when i see u blushing.. u look damn hot & sexy.."

Jodha "to b honest.. i loved & lived your song.. u r really amazing"

Jodha moved a little forward.. towards Jalal & circled her hands towards Jalal's waist & hugged him lightly. Getting no response of her hug she moved back & saw Jalal who was still in a shocked mode. Jodha giggled & shook him.

Jalal looked at her with shocked eyes "was i hallucinating.. or did it really happen"

Jodha chuckled "u only asked me to hug you"

Part 5

Jalal went to his room & found Abdul there.

Abdul "U went to romance with Jodha.. right"

Jalal (shocked) "how do u know... wait.. what.. romance... are u mad.."

Abdul "have a look in the mirror"

He looked at mirror chuckled shamelessly seeing his red cheeks. Jalal composed himself & spoke to divert the topic "so what brings u here?"

Abdul "fine.. don't tell me what happened there.. but atleast tell me when are u going to propose her"

Jalal "i already told u.. i will do it today... & yeah.. i need your help"

Abdul "tell me the plan... fast"

Jalal "I will take Jodha to shopping mall for helping me in choosing a neck piece"

Abdul (excited) "For herself?"

Jalal "nah.."

Abdul (confused) "Then for whom??"

Jalal "That has nothing to do with the proposal.. its just to make her jealous"

Abdul "u devil"

Jalal chuckled.

Jalal "then i will drive her to a beach & propose her"

Abdul "and if u don't find a secluded place??"

Jalal "don't worry.. i have made the arrangements.. the place is not easily discoverable.. its a bit hidden.."

Abdul "how do u know about that place"

Jalal "my dad used to take me there.. its a very special place for me.."

Abdul "oh... so u need help in decor??"

Jalal "I have already done it.. decor, music, candle light dinner, flowers.. red roses"

Abdul "oh ho.. abhi se candle light with red roses.. that means u both will not return home tonight"

Receiving a disgusting glare from Jalal, Abdul chuckled and asked another question "so what will i have to do?"

Jalal "don't tell anyone about this & yeah.. when i ask for help in shopping.. don't poke your nose in between.. only she should help me"

Abdul "but what will i say them"

Jalal "that's your problem.. i made the plan.. u just have to think of an excuse to keep them away"

Abdul "no i will not do anything.."

Jalal "u will do it & yeah one more thing.. keep yourself & the rest of the group away from disturbing us"

Abdul "this is not possible.. we will b watching u from a distance"

Jalal "no... u will do what i said.. its your task"

Abdul "that's not fair"

Jalal "everything is fair in love & war.."

Abdul "fine.. show me the ring."

Jalal took out the ring he chose for the proposal and Abdul smirked "oh Jesus... its just.. amazing. You have a great choice Jalal"

Jalal smirked "I know.."

Abdul giggled & left to think over his 'task'.

####

Jodha heard him say "I want to talk to u.. its important"

Jodha "yeah.. say"

He proceeded a step forward & reduced the gap between them. He was stumbling.

Jodha whispered shocked & in disbelief "you are drunk!!!"

He stepped forward more & almost whispered "i love u Jodha.. i want u"

He tried to kiss her. She was not expecting this type of a thing from him... so she stepped back pushing him a bit "u are not in ur senses now... we will talk later"

She turned to go & he caught her hand & pulled towards him. Jodha got frightened seeing the amount of passion & desire those dark orbs held.

Jodha "leave me peaseee"

She stammered "J..a..ll..al..."

He smirked "u r the only girl i want in my bed.. i will make u mine tonight"

She pushed him with all her strength but he was too strong for her. Even her voice was betraying her.

she tried saying it aloud but was not able to "help..."

He pushed her to the nearest wall & he started trying to kiss her. His one hand was keeping her still while other was trying rip her dress apart.

Jodha was struggling to free herself. She started crying. To her favour.. the alcohol was of allowing him much strength..

Jodha "please leave me.. i beg u.. please leave me.."

She was scared to death. She gathered all her strength & shouted with all her might.

"JALAAAL.."

A tight punch landed on his face & he fell on the ground. Jodha ran towards Jalal and hugged him and the restrained tears bursted out of her eyes.

Flashback

As per his plan, Jalal asked Jodha to help him with selecting a gift which resulted in many suspicious glares from Jodha. He took her to a jewellery shop. Buying a bracelet they went to the parking area when Jodha demanded "I wanna have an icecream"

Jalal "ok.. come.."

Jalal kept the packet in the car & locked it.

Jalal's phone rang. He apologised "I am sorry Jodha.. i have to take this.. its important"

Jodha "its ok.. i will bring it.. which flavour for u"

Jalal "chocolate.. my fav"

Jodha "mine too... hehe"

She went to bring the chocolate icecreams & Jalal was busy with the call.

While Jodha was returning.. Sharifuddin blocked her way..

Jodha "sharifuddin.. u here"

Sharif "i want to talk to u.. its important"

FLASHBACK ENDS

Jalal hugged her back, tightly, showing sharifuddin that she belongs to him.. & giving Jodha the strength that he is there for her. He caressed her back to pacify her.

Sharif got up from the floor & called his men. They came & surrounded Jodha & Jalal with fully loaded guns in their hands.

Sharif "you dared to reject me Jodha. I won't spare you. But don't worry I will give you enough time to repent on your decision."

Jodha "Jalal.. You leave... I can't drag you with me in this danger"

Jalal "I'll never leave you Jodha.. And definitely not in such a situation"

Sharif "take them to the car."

The gunmen kept gun directed to Jodha & said "move with us or she will b dead"

Then went into a car which had 3 rows of backseat..first two facing each other & one more backseat.

they made Jalal & Jodha sit on the middle seat while they sat almost surrounding them.

They halted after about 5 hours.. during whole journey Jalal held Jodha in his embrace tightly giving her support. They were forced out of the car.. to the graveyard.

They tied Jalal & Jodha's hands & mouths. and pushed them into one of a grave & covered the lid. It became all black as if a night without moon & stars.

Khan Mansion

It was 8 pm when Nimmi returned. She saw Abdul, Shreya, Raj & Madhu sitting on sofa. Jodha & Jalal both were missing. Her not so innocent mind smirked at the thought "Where is bhai & Jodha"

Abdul "they went for shopping"

Nimmi "Someone please tell me the truth."

Shreya "but that is only the truth"

Abdul "half truth"

Shreya, Raj & Madhu (in union) "what.."

Nimmi giggled "oh so.. i m not the only one who doesn't know"

Abdul "Jalal is going to propose Jodha"

Shreya "so what are we doing here.."

Abdul "actually.. i don't know where they went"

Raj "wow.."

Abdul "I lost one bet against him.. so it was my task not to tell you all & assure their privacy"

Nimmi (chuckled) "i don't think they will return tonight.. lets have dinner."

All of them busted into laughter.

After dinner... They sat on the sofa in the hall awaiting Jodha & Jalal.

They kept checking the clock.

9.. 10... 11... 12...

time was passing building up anxiety.

The clock struck 3 a.m.

They tried calling them but the phone was unreachable.

Madhu "why the hell aren't they both back till now"

Madhu "we can track their mobile"

Abdul "are you serious.. she is THE JODHA SINGH.. the software queen.. hacking or tracking her gadgets is impossible.. and he has a safety system made by Jodha... & only Jodha can break it."

in the graveyard..

Jalal heard Jodha sobbing softly. His heart shattered into pieces. Being helpless due to his tied hands & mouth, neither he can hug her & comfort her, nor he can say to her that he is there with her, he will protect her.

During the threatening journey of whole 5 hours, from mall to graveyard, he held her tight in his arms comforting her. She was scared but didn't cry because she felt safe in his warmth. But now the dark surrounding engulfed them into hopelessness & helplessness.

Jalal gathered all his strength & decided to act. He cant sit calmly listening his love's painful sobbing. He just cant sit calmly & wait for death to take them away from this darkness. He didn't want to die. He wanted to live.. live with Jodha... for Jodha.

He calculated the distance & direction of Jodha from her sobbing sound & moved towards her. He felt his knees touching hers. He forwarded his face & slowly caressed hers with his.

Jodha wasn't prepared for this.. neither she expected this. So the sudden attack made her lose her balance & fall backwards with Jalal on top of her.

Jalal realised the consequences of his actions & tried to get up but failed miserably as his hands were tied. He knew Jodha will not be able to bear his weight. So he tried to roll off her but the grave wasn't wide enough. Rather his constant tries were just crushing her more.

He parted his legs & kept them on either sides of Jodha. Atleast this would lessen some weight. Tension started to build up in Jalal's mind. What if Jodha misunderstands him? What if she starts hating him? And so on.

She knew Jalal must be tensed that she would misunderstand him, but she can't even tell him to relax. She also understood that he tried to get off her but due to less space, he didn't succeed.

Jalal took a deep breath and concentrated on what has to be done now. He knew they were cut off from air supply, so wasting time in this situation would mean inviting death which he cant afford now. He was ready to give his life but will save Jodha no matter what.

He started rubbing his face on hers. Jodha didn't knew what he was doing but she didn't feel uncomfortable even in such an intimate position.

They could hear each other's heart beating in rhythm. Jalal felt his chest massaging against hers. Finally after a rubbing session of 5 mins, the cloth tied on Jodha's mouth got pulled down. Jodha sighed & understood what he was doing all the while. And here she was fantasising him in the grave.

She moved her face upwards & searched for the cloth tying his mouth. First her lips landed on his cheeks, she dragged her lips downwards & held the cloth tying his mouth with her teeth & tried to pull it downwards.

Jalal said "I am sorry Jodha.. please believe me.. i didn't had any wrong intentions.."

Jodha cut in between "i trust you Jalal"

Jalal "why do u trust me"

Jodha "i don't know Jalal.. i didn't even knew what u were trying to do.. but still even that time my heart trusted u.."

Jalal smiled "thank u so much Jodha.. now listen to me.. i will role towards ur right & u do towards ur left. i know its difficult for u to bear my weight"

Jodha "u r not that heavy"

Jalal chuckled "yeah.. i know.. but u r too fragile to bear my weight"

Jodha giggled.

They moved as Jalal gave instructions. Now they were lying sideways facing each other.

Jalal "Jodha"

Jodha "yeah Jalal"

Jalal "are u ok"

Jodha "very much"

Jalal "ok now.. turn backwards"

Jodha (confused) "what"

Jalal "u trusted me during the worst.. plz have a bit more patience"

Jodha turned as per his wish. Now Jalal was facing her back.

Jalal "Jodha.. i have my mobile in my pocket... u have to take it out.. for freeing our hands we need some light to see the knot"

Jodha "ok.. but how will i take out ur mobile"

Jalal "move towards me"

Jodha followed his command. Her hands fell at the wrong place. She immediately pulled back her hands. He composed himself so that she doest feel embarrassed.

Jalal "Jodha.."

Jodha "hmm"

Jalal "please"

Jodha hesitated a bit then calmed herself. She moved her hands upward so that she doesn't encounter the same situation again. Her hands touched his upper thighs. Jodha was about to pull her hands back.

Jalal spoke "left"

He wanted to make the situation light for her. He started giving her directions. He could feel her hands shivering.

Finally when she was able to get the mobile.. she pressed the unlock button which illuminated the hope as if the dark night got its stars.

Jalal "don't move Jodha.. stay.. relax"

Jodha "hmmm"

no more words formed in her mind.

Jodha's muscles stiffened when Jalal's teeth touch her hands in the process of opening the knot. After Jodha's hands were free, she got up & turned around to face Jalal.

Jodha "turn back.. i will untie ur hands"

Jalal did as said & Jodha rescued his hands. The shortage of air was showing its effect. Jodha & Jalal started to breath heavily in order to grasp some air to keep themselves alive in this grave. Jalal quickly got on action. He tried to push the lid open. Jodha also helped him. But poor them.. the devil lid didn't budge.

Jodha started to feel tired & the world started revolving around.

Jodha (while breathing heavily) "i m sorry Jalal.. u got into this trouble due to me"

Jalal "are u mad.. its nothing like that.. i will not let anything happen to u.. i will die but i promise.. i will save u"

Jodha looked at him & kept her head on his lap & closed her eyes.

Jalal (while still trying his luck on the lid) "Jodha.. wake up.. hold on baby.. be with me.. please"

Jodha "hmm"

And she drifted into unknown world.

Jalal "jodhaaa... no... plz get up.. I LOVE YOU"

He took his mobile... no signal.

He pushed the lid with all his strength but it seemed something was stopping it. He was loosing his strength due to nil oxygen and fear of losing HIS Jodha.

Jalal "i want to live with u Jodha.. plz wake up.. why this damn lid is not opening"

Part 6

The weather was not so pleasant as if it was an omen to a drastic change.. as if nature was giving warning signals of upcoming events.

In early chilly morning of February.. & the nature was pouring out its sorrow in form of rain. Witnessing the love birds in such a condition was the last thing one would have ever wished.

Jalal analysed the situation "Rain drops are tapping above the lid.. that means its not covered with mud. So it can be moved

but it cannot be pushed open.. I already tried it with all my might

Then there must be another way out.. but i will surely protect MY Jodha"

He thought for a while & tried to slide the lid instead of pushing it. It worked. Rain water started sliding inside.

He pulled Jodha from his lap to his embrace and tapped her cheeks "Jodha open your eyes"

Jalal took his finger near her nose. She was breathing faintly.. faintly, but she was breathing. The thought was enough to give Jalal a feeling of relief.

Jalal took his mobile & shoved it in his pocket. He was sure that it will be of great help in the time of coming scarcities towards which they were going to move before reaching their destination... THEIR HOME.

Then the most important thing for the time being was to bring back Jodha's consciousness.

He started caressing her cheeks telling her to wake up. Jodha spoke with all her might.. but it came out as a whisper "Jalal..."

Jalal "Jodha.. are you ok.. you are fine na."

Jodha nodded & smiled at him.

Jalal "lets go Jodha"

Jodha "I am very tired Jalal"

Jalal broke the hug & said "may I"

Jodha nodded.

Jalal scooped her in his arms. Jodha wrapped her arms around his neck & rested her head on his chest. She closed her eyes & relished the feeling.

They stepped out of the grave & looked around "what the.."

Jodha opened her eyes listening his frustrated voice.

"aaa..."

she shrieked & hugged him tightly.

Jalal "Jodha... don't worry.. i am with you baby"

The word "BABY" caught Jodha's attention. She looked up at Jalal with wide shocked eyes.

But for Jalal.. he just said it in flow.

Jalal (confused) "what happened Jodha??"

Jodha (looked down) "nothing"

Jalal "Jodha.. are you scared??"

Jodha "of what"

Jalal (frustrated) "of me"

Jodha (chuckled) "whats there in you to be scared of"

Suddenly the loud sound of thunderstorm broke the lovey dovey moment. Jodha hugged Jalal in fear.

Jalal (smirked) "i was taking about this only.. & .. & graveyard"

Jodha nodded in a yes.

Jalal "have you ever been to a graveyard before"

Jodha nodded in a no.

Jodha "Jalal.. its very scary here.. please take me HOME"

Jalal "but which direction should we move towards"

Jodha looked around... scary looking leafless tress with haunting roots spread all over the land as if ready to pull you into earth.. sound of hooting owls were audible even in this heavy rain.. The whole visible area was covered with haunting graves. The sight was enough to give heart attack to a person. She shivered in fear.

She buried her face into his chest & closed her eyes tightly. She clutched on Jalal as tightly as possible.

Jalal decided to start their journey coz they were struck in the middle of nowhere. Jalal was walking embracing Jodha in his protective warmth. Jalal was very well aware that Jodha was shivering from fear. She had went though a lot within a day.

After around 15 minutes, Jalal found the exit gate of the graveyard "look Jodha we reached the exit.."

Jalal put Jodha down & pushed the door slowly. But it seemed as if the gate refused their exit.

Jalal looked at Jodha who was getting more scared. So to end it up.. he gave a strong kick to the door.

And how can the lifeless gate survive against the mighty Shehensha Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar.

Did i say Shehensha Jalal..

yeah he is Jalal Khan

but for the graveyard, that is, the palace of ghosts.. he was, is & will be Shehensha Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar with his Mallika e Hindustan Begam Jodha.

NOW

the story will take its major turn marking the begining of the old love story in new era...

THE SAGA CONTINUES...

Jalal smiled at Jodha "lets go"

He picked her up in his arms & stepped outside the gate oblivious to the havoc which had been already created.

Jalal glanced at her beautiful face which was being kissed by the rain drops making her milky white soft skin glow under his intense gaze.

Jodha was no longer feeling dizzy but how can she miss this opportunity of being in his soothing embrace.

Jodha (thought) "he is looking so cute.. cant he forget his decency for a while & be a bad boy. Not even once he tried to cross that friendship barrier."

Jalal was taking his own time to savour the view in front of him. His gaze fell on her red luscious lips which were inviting him to feast upon. How badly he wanted to taste them. His heartbeats increased. He was having a tough time to control himself.

The rain was nowhere to stop & paths were too dark & unsafe.

Jalal "Jodha.. i think it will not be a wise decision to start the journey now"

Jodha "you are right Jalal"

After they were at a good distance from the graveyard they stopped under a huge tree. Jalal looked towards Jodha & forgot breathing. Her white kurti had clung to her body like second skin & it had become totally transparent. Her sheer dupatta which was resting around her neck was doing no good in covering her.

His eyes traced each and every inch of her passionately, betraying all his emotions to Jodha. A feeling of embarrassment & nervousness engulfed her when she felt his eyes measuring her.

Jalal started opening the buttons of his shirt making her shocked. He moved closer to Jodha. Her knees almost gave up but Jalal held her by her shoulders to keep her stand. Distance between them was very less to be called as distance. She closed her eyes to savour the moment.

She thought "oh Kanha, from when you became so fast in hearing my wishes. No no no... no bad boy please. I will not be able to control myself."

She knew... his one touch & she would give in into his desires willingly. Jalal's hands slowly massaged her shoulders gently gaining her soft moan. His hands traced her arms & caught hold of her fingers.

He left her hands & caressed her cheeks. But his next action left her shocked. He opened his shirt & made her wear it & turned around to leave. It made her fall for him all over again. She wrapped around his shirt feeling his warmth in it.

She smiled thinking about the turn of events. First he ignited passion in her & then he left it unfulfilled. She had never thought that someone's touch can be so dominating. She craved for what he left in the middle. She was sure that Jalal had seen replica of his desires in her eyes. He knew.. one move of his & she would surrender herself willingly to him but he didn't proceed further. She too wanted to melt in his arms, but Jalal did something which was beyond her imagination.

She went towards the direction he went & saw him standing under the open sky bearing the wrath of the heavy rain. His eyes were closed & fists clenched. He was the most beautiful creation of the God.

Jodha made him wear his shirt. Jalal opened his eyes & was shocked to see Jodha there.

Jalal "Jodha.. please wear this"

Jodha "the weather is cold Jalal..u wear it.. i am fine"

He looked at her & realised that she had wrapped her dupatta around her like a shawl which enough to cover her modesty. He looked aside so that she doesn't feel embarrassed.

Jalal "lets go"

They went under the tree & Jalal sat down. Jodha sat beside Jalal leaving a decent space between them.

Jalal (thought) "what the hell were you doing Jalal.. get a hold on yourself man... you almost lost your control.."

Jalal diverted his thoughts and asked "do you believe in ghosts"

Jodha "if you are trying to scare me.. let me tell you i don't fear anything"

A roaring sound of thunder made her shiver & she hugged him out of fear. Jalal giggled.

Jodha pouted "i am not scared.. i was just.. just.. mmm"

Jalal "ok ok MY jhasi ki rani... you were not scared.. happy"

Jodha glared at him making him chuckle.

Jodha "i will not talk to you"

Jalal "think about it again BABY.. what if a ghost pounce on you.. if you will not talk to me then i wont help you"

Jodha smiled at the use of word BABY for the second time.

Jodha "fine.. i don't need your help"

Jodha heard a rustling sound from behind & some animals were also making scary noises.

Jodha shifts towards Jalal & Jalal was holding his laugh.

Jodha (scared) "Jalalll"

Jalal (innocently with a smirk) "yeah Jodha.. so you are talking to me??"

Jodha "no.. never"

Jalal "don't worry Jodha.. i wont tell anyone that you were scared of ghosts"

Jodha "i am not scared"

Jalal "yeah.. i will tell this only"

She glared at him.

Jalal "fine.. if you don't wanna talk.. i shall leave. I hope you won't feel lonely in the company of ghosts."

Jodha made a cry type face when she again heard those sounds. Jalal melted at that look of hers. Jodha hugged him "okay..am scared.. am scared.. please don't go"

Jalal hugged her back & caressed her hair "I was just teasing you. Even if you say then also I will never leave you. I will always protect you. Any danger will have to face me before reaching you. I will shield you with my life Jodha. Don't be scared. Ghosts doesn't exist Jodha.. its just our imagination. I am with you... always"

Jodha "promise?"

Jalal "promise"

He made a life time promise of loving & securing her. She was over the moon with the feeling of being loved.

She smiled & hugged him tighter while Jalal let her find solace in his promising warmth. He kissed on her hair making her crib in her mind.

Jodha (thought) "uff.. someone tell this idiot.. lips are meant for kiss.. not head"

Jalal (thought) "i will wait for the day when i will kiss on your lips with your consent..

I had made so many plan to propose her yesterday. And now everything is just the opposite.. yet it feels so good."

Jalal closed his eyes enjoying the feeling of her hug. Her head rested on his chest & hands were wrapped around his waist & clutching his shirt tightly. Their hearts were beating in rhythm. They dossed off in the same position with a content smile on their faces.

####

Sunlight pierced through the leaves & disturbed the peaceful couple sleeping in each other's arms. She dug her face more into his chest. Jalal opened his eyes & smiled seeing Jodha sleeping in his embrace.

Jalal (thought) "she is so soft yaar.. i wish i could hold her in my arms every night i sleep. I wish i see her face every morning i wake up"

After some time, the sleeping beauty opened her eyes & blushed to see their position. Jalal quickly closed his eyes & pretended to sleep.

Jodha tried removing his hand.

Jalal (acting as if he got up due to her movement) "good morning Jodha"

Jodha "good morning Jalal"

Jodha & Jalal (thought) "indeed its the best morning"

Jalal smirked "so.. Slept well"

Jodha "yes"

Jalal grinned.

Jodha added "as usual.. Nothing special"

His jaw dropped down. She shamelessly teased him.

Jodha "everyone must be worried.. we must leave"

Jalal "yeah.. you are right"

They were walking without any hint that they were going in the opposite direction.

Jodha "Jalal.. we are walking from past 2 hours & still we reached nowhere.. i am tired"

Jalal "ok.. lets rest for sometime"

They both sat on a rock.

Jalal "it must be a secluded place.. we are walking on a well built road then also not even a single vehicle passed to ask for a lift."

She lift his hand & looked at the watch & frowned.

Jodha "it almost 1 pm"

Jalal smiled "how authoritivly she held my hand to see the time"

After a wait of more than half an hour.. they saw a bus coming. Jalal signalled for lift.

The bus stopped & young man of came out "hello.. i am wickey.. how can we help you sir"

Jalal "can we get a lift to Mumbai"

Man "We are going to opposite direction... to Goa"

Jodha (horrified) "what.. that means.. from past two hours we were walking in opposite direction increasing our journey."

Jalal "so.. if you don't have any problem can you drop us to some place from where we can get some vehicle for Mumbai"

Wickey "ofcourse ofcourse.. please come.. it will be our pleasure to have a journey with you both"

They got into the bus & noticed that it was not a normal wala bus. It didn't had seats in row. Rather it was like a room with cushioned bed type carpet on the floor... perfect for picnic journey.

They opened their shoes & went inside. They got a warm welcome. They had an introduction.

Radha "you are very handsome sir"

Jalal "think you radha.. by the way... call me Jalal.. sir is too formal"

Radha blushed making Jodha burn with jealousy which didn't go unnoticed by Jalal.

Karan "mam.. i think you should apply for miss universe.. i am dam sure judges will run behind you to make you wear the crown"

Jodha got the opportunity of making Jalal taste his type.

Jodha "thank you.. so sweet of you karan.. my name is Jodha.. we all have a long journey with each other. No need of formality."

Karan gave a flirting smirk to her. Jalal fumed but covered under a smile.

Arav "your voice is as beautiful as you"

Jodha looked at Jalal who was ready to kill & chuckled.

Jodha "thank you arav.."

Meera "i am a big fan of yours Jalal.. i cant believe that you are right in front of me"

Jalal "And you have to believe if i say that you all are very beautiful"

Jalal smirked at Jodha.

Wickey "do you have any boyfriend"

Jodha "oh.. no Wickey"

All the boys "really"

Jodha so much wanted to laugh at Jalal's expressions.

Jodha (nodded with a pout) "yeah"

Jalal (thought) "what was the need to pout. Doesn't she know how much desirable she looks with that pout"

Kriya (seductive voice) "as far as i know.. you are single right Jalal"

Jalal (coping her tone) "how can a beautiful girl like you be wrong Kriya"

Radha "how did you both end up here"

Karan "exactly.. its a very lonely place"

Jalal "long story.. my mobile is discharged.. can any one of you lend one to me.. I need to make one call."

They all checked their mobiles "sorry Jalal.. we are out of coverage area.. no network"

Jodha "then do you have a laptop"

Veer "yeah.. i have"

He gave Jodha his laptop.

Jodha "thank you"

Jalal "but Jodha.. without network.. we wont have internet connection here so what will you do"

Jodha gave him a teasing smile "just wait & watch"

Jodha "Jalal.. give me Nandini's number."

Jalal "9876xxx"

Jalal "in which script are you writing Jodha"

Jodha (with a teasing smirk) "its computer language DEAR.. & decoding my software language is something which is impossible"

Jalal gave a hell to that teasing smirk. All he was able to get was DEAR.

Jodha "done"

Jalal "so.. what did you send"

Jodha "that we are safe & will be back soon"

Jalal "that's it"

Jodha whispered "so? Should I send whole Ramayana?"

Jalal glared at her.

Jodha "thanks veer"

Veer "my pleasure.."

He winked at her. Jalal gave a death glare to him but he was too busy to notice that.

Nimmi's phone beeped. She took it & saw arrival of a message. She opened it & read.

"We are safe. Don't worry & relax.. we will come back by evening. Please don't stress. And tell everyone to take rest. I know you all must be hell worried & probably wouldn't have slept whole night. I cant explain you what had happened but assure you that we are very much safe.

-jalal & jodha"

Nimmi jumped up in happiness. She told about it to everyone & they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Abdul "but where the hell are they"

Madhu "must be romancing"

Raj "uff these love birds.. scared us"

Shreya "but the thing is that they both are safe.."

####

After reaching home that evening, personally dropped by Jalal himself, she was just thinking about the drastic change in her life which took place in a matter of just few months.

She recalled how she met Jalal for the 1st time. He helped that man with no particular gains for himself. Her thoughts got carried away to their next meeting when police had portrayed her as a terrorist in front of HIM. Still he believed her. The business party, software meeting, office romance.. Ok not exactly romance but it was not just friendship. She chuckled remembering his hesitancy when he came to invite her for the hangout.

How can she forget the hangout in Khan Mansion. That day for the first time Jalal was flirting with her openly. She remembered about the chocolates & took out it from her bag & was just holding it tight to her heart. The song which he sung for her. A shy smile crept on her lips.

His unconditional love & support had greatly moved her. She smiled recalling the way he hugged her into his embrace all way long to that graveyard.

Then the latest development.. graveyard romance. She chuckled. Oh God.. really.. romance in graveyard. That was really an epic moment. The feeling of his body crushing hers was still fresh intact in each & every cell of hers.

She felt secured with the thought of having Jalal near her. All the beautiful moments they spent together in that adventurous journey was playing in front of her eyes like a movie. That included the graveyard romance, ghost teasing, jealousy & everything. Heat rushed all over her body remembering his piercing hungry gaze on her wet form & how it lingered longer on her ... A slight moan escaped her mouth feeling those goosebums. It followed with a dreamy smile remembering his half naked body which was enough to put fire in icy cold water.

A hint of pride surged through her when she remembered that she had surrendered herself to him.. yet he restrained himself.

Then the journey to HOME. He held her hand possessively & protectively all way long to give her support & love.

She unwrapped one chocolate & savoured it feeling his love for her. The sound of doorbell dragged her out of her day dreaming. Stuffing the last bite of chocolate in her mouth, she went to see the person who disturbed her private moment.

Part 7

She opened the door & there stood the most charming man of her life who was giving her a sweet smile. He got inside & closed the door while she stood dazzled. Smirking snapping his figures in front of her he brought her back to reality.

Jodha "Jalal.. are you really here"

Jalal smirked "do you usually day dream about me coming here"

Jodha blushed. It was then she saw the watch & realised that it had been an hour since she was dreaming about HIM. They sat on sofa & Jodha offered him water.

Then she brought the chocolates from her bedroom & offered him.

Jodha "chocolates"

Jalal chuckled "so i guessed right.. you were eating chocolate when i came"

Jodha "How did you guess"

Jalal smirked & came closer to her. He traced his thumb on her lips. Then she realised that that she had been eating like a kid. He licked his fingers with a sly intense gaze over her as if he is licking her lips. Jodha shuddered.

Jalal whispered in a husky voice "As far as i know you.. you don't share your chocolates.."

Jodha "I don't share my chocolates with OTHERS"

She stressed on 'others' hinting him that he is not included in that category... that he is special to her.

Realising something, she frowned at him.

Jalal "what happened Jodha"

Jodha "Its just been an hour we are back.. you should be taking rest at home. What are you doing here."

Jalal with a fake sad expression "So you didn't liked my arrival here"

Jodha (in an annoyed tone) "Shut up.. Are you mad. You are more than welcomed here at any point of time. But you must be tired Jalal.. and..."

He felt so happy that HIS girl was caring for him so much. Her eyes widened & tone raised a little in horror "did you even eat anything"

Jalal looked down & his silence gave the answer to the not so pleased lady. Jodha opened the wrapper of a chocolate & stuffed it in his mouth & said with utmost authority "Just sit here.. I will bring something to eat"

Jalal "but Jo.. i wanna talk to you"

Jodha glared at him "Only after you ear something. And that's final"

Jalal was not in a state to deny. He followed her into kitchen while enjoying the sweetness of chocolate which tasted more sweet from her hand.

Jodha "what"

Jalal smiled widely "i can help you"

And how can she resist his captivating smile. She rolled her eyes & smiled. "You take a bit rest. It will take atleast 15 to 20 minutes."

Jalal smiled at her care "your wish.. my command"

He went out & sat on sofa. Jodha came out to take the jug so she can refill it & found him sitting on sofa leaning his head backwards. He looked so tired.

Jodha called softly "Jalal.."

He jerked his head up "yeah Jo"

She placed her hand on his' "You can rest in my room."

Jalal "its ok Jo.. am fine here"

She smiled "Guest rooms are not prepared. Please go to my room & relax yourself Jalal"

Jalal nodded smilingly. After 25 minutes Jodha went into the room to find him lying on bed. He looked so relaxed. She stared at him for a minute & then called "Jalal..."

He opened his eyes smilingly & stretched himself on the bed. He sat with an enchanting smile.

Jodha "come"

He got up & followed her to dining.

Jodha "i was able to make this only"

Jalal looked at the table & found his favourites... cheese pasta & cold coffee with icecream "ONLY?.. you must joking Jodha. That's more than required."

Jodha blushed "sit"

After they were done they settled on sofa & Jodha spoke "you wanted to talk about something"

Jalal's face turned into a serious one.

Jodha "what happened Jalal.. everything ok??"

Jalal sighed "i am sorry Jodha"

Jodha (confused) "sorry for what"

Jalal "i have no option than to ask this from you"

Jodha "you are scaring me Jalal.. plz say whats going on"

Jalal held her hand in his firm yet tender clasp "Jodha.. who was he"

Jodha confused "whom are you talking about"

Jalal "that parking lot guy.. did you knew him?"

Her face paled & fear grasped her. Jalal slowly took her in his embrace & caressed her hair & she deepened her face in his chest & tightly clutched him seeking strength from him.

Jalal "i know it must be difficult for you but i have no choice Jodha... the CCTV camera there didn't capture his face... & no one than you can tell me this" Love, care and concern was evident in his voice.

Jodha pulled away shocked. Jalal was not able to understand her reaction. Jodha "you.. you.. when did you investigate all that"

He was shocked that from all of he said she was able to make out that only. Whereas Jodha was feeling secured & loved. She knew Jalal would do something.. but she didn't expect it that day itself. He came to her home in less than an hour span after they returned. And he had already done so much investigation... no rest, no food.. That's not done.

Jalal "after dropping you here I looked into it. Please tell me everything you know"

Jodha smiled a little & hugged him "his name is sharifuddin.. It all started 3 years back. He had joined our college during last semester. He was a typical rich spoilt brat... a womaniser ..messing around with innocent girls & then dumping them after getting them into bed.

He had many a times tried to pursue me. His obsession increased so much that he even dropped by my home asking my parents for my hand.."

Jalal caressed her back to assure her.

She continued "but they denied.. after that he was no where to be seen & i assumed that am free from him but yesterday"

She shivered in his hug & held him tighter.

Jalal "can you locate his photo from anywhere.. internet or something"

Jodha nodded but she didn't flinch from her place. Jalal understood that she needs time & he gave her the much needed love & support.

After 10 mins, she broke the hug "ammm.. i will get my mobile"

Jalal "use mine"

Jodha smiled faintly & took his mobile & surfed on net & gave him the photo.

Jodha "Jalal... can you please wait here for some time"

He cupped her face lovingly & said "don't worry Jodha.. i will not leave you alone.. never"

He kissed her forehead & pulled her into his embrace. While hugging her, he pressed some buttons on his mobile & sent the photo to Abdul. Relishing his warm cuddle, her tired body drifted into sleep. Jalal felt her body relax & tilted his head backward only to find an innocent sleeping beauty who was finding her strength from her love's warmth.

He lifted her in his arms & took to her bedroom. A strange feeling seeped in as he carried her in a BRIDAL style in her beautiful BEDROOM.

He laid her on her bed.. exactly on the place where he laid some time ago. But she was not ready to leave him. Her hands were caging around him tightly. He was half leaning on her.

Jalal tried his best to free himself but she was clinging to him as if her life depended on it.

He sighed not knowing what to do. He scratched his neck thinking what to do. He slowly sat straight along with Jodha happily resting in his arms. He opened his shoes.

He closed his eyes & placed himself beside her. In no time he too fell asleep due to exhaustion. They were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms.

After some hours...

Jalal jerked up from his sleep due to sudden movement. He opened his eyes only to find a scared & tormented Jodha looking at him in shock and... and FEAR. Realisation struck him hard. What the hell has he done.

Jalal tried to explain the situation which compelled him to sleep there. But words refused to come out of his mouth.

Finally getting a hold he started "am sorry Jodha.. i didnt mean to sleep here.. but.. woh.. i.. you were holding on me very tightly and.."

To his astonishment she hugged him tightly. He could feel her crying "shhh.. what happened baby?.. why are you crying.. did you see some dream"

Jodha "I .. i saw that he .. he.. i couldnt save myself jalal..i .. i"

Jalal caressed her hair "shhh.. you safe baby.. with me.. dont worry.. am here to protect you"

Jodha "Jalal... what if he would have.."

Jalal "no.. i would never let anyone to hurt you"

Jodha looked up into his eyes "i don't have anyone than you"

Jalal kissed her forehead "and you will always have me"

That day they shared their pain which they had hidden for long even from themselves. They talked for long about their parents & their feelings.

####

Jalal was sleeping peacefully when his phone buzzed. He picked it up.

Jalal (in a sleepy voice) "hello"

Abdul "hey buddy.. we found him.. all arrangements done"

Jalal got up in a jerk "thats great.. thanks buddy.. am coming right now"

Jalal went to Jodha's room & knocked it. Receiving no response he slighlty pushed the door. To his suprise, it was not locked.. but he saw the sleeping beauty cuddled in a ball on her bed.

Jalal (to himself) "How much she trusts me... Knowing that I am in this house, she didn't lock her room when asleep. She never gets angry on my closeness with her. However i may touch her, she never stops me. Even in the grave, I was literally crushing her body beneath me, but she trusted me that I would never wrong her."

He went inside & sat beside her.

Jalal "Jodhaaa.. wake up baby"

Jodha opened her eyes slightly & dragged her head on his lap & slept.

Jalal chuckled & caressed her hair "Jodha... baby get up"

Jodha "let me sleep na"

Jalal "no sweety.. get up"

Jodha moaned in frustation & hugged his waist "you know my mom used to wake me up like this"

Jalal smiled.

Jodha finally got up & looked at him with irritation when she glaced at the clock which showed 6 am.

Jalal chuckled "good morning"

Jodha pouted "its not morning yet"

Jalal "we have an important task.. cmmon.. get ready in 15 mins"

Jodha "ahhh noo..."

Jalal "yes.. am going, you get up fast"

###

After two hours

Jodha "where are we"

Jalal "my farmhouse"

Jodha (confused) "why"

Jalal "come.. u will know"

They went in. Jodha saw many police officers in there. She guessed that the matter is connected with sharifuddin.

Jalal guided her to a squash court. They heard yellings of a man when they entered "Why the hell have you brought me here. What have I done"

Jodha shiverred listening that voice. Jalal held her hand to give her support. They entered it & sharifuddin's eyes widened in horror.

Sharifuddin "you both.. how did you get back alive.."

He saw police officers saluting Jalal.

Sharifuddin "who are you"

Jalal (gritting his teeth) "that you should have thought before messing up with me"

Sharifuddin "its not fair.. you have so many men & i am alone"

Jalal "don't worry i am not a coward like you.. btw i will not be that rude to hide my identity from you.. "

He smirked & continues "JALAL KHAN.. am pretty sure that now you very well know who i am"

Jalal signalled & everyone left than them alone, closing the door behind. Opening first two buttons of his shirt he rolled up his sleeves.

He stepped forward & opened Sharifuddin's handcuffs.

A tight punch landed on the bastxxd's face due to which he fell down. Jalal kneeled down & grabbed his hand. Two sounds followed.. one.. of beaking of sharifuddin's bones and second.. his ear damaging yellings.

Jodha shivered but Jalal didn't flinch. He was looking like an angel of death who was in no hurry & wanted to give the most painful death to his prey.

One by one Jalal broke his almost all his bones. But not a single drop of blood was spilled. Sharifuddin was not even in a condition to cry on his pain.

Jodha saw the police officers standing calmly outside back facing them as if they were deaf. After venting out all his anger Jalal adjusted his dress back to normal.

Jalal "Jodha.. you wanna try your hand on him"

Jodha started at him with wide eyes "Is anything left in him to beat out"

Jalal chuckled "Hey dont say that.. am a follower of Gandhiji's beliefs.. a very non voilent person.. see i was so kind to him.. not a single drop of blood"

Jodha sarcastically "Are you always that kind to your enemies"

Jalal "nah.. any other time.. the officers show their kindness"

Jodha "then what's the difference this time"

Jalal went closer to her & cupped her cheeks "i don't care if anyone tries to hurt me.. but i wont let the person REST IN PEACE who will even dare to think of harming you"

Jodha chuckled "and why this partiality"

Jalal smirked "my game.. my rules"

Jodha laughed out loud. Jalal was happy to see her bubbly self back.

Jodha indicating at officers "Jalal.. what did you tell them?"

Jalal shrugged "nothing"

Jodha "then on what basis did they left sharifuddin to you.. & they are not even reacting on hearing his such loud screams"

Jalal "i know i should not say this.. but.. when they can leave a girl at my mercy then why cant they leave this criminal"

Jodha smiled remembering the incident & stood admiring his loving nature.

Jalal pulled her hand & guided her outside "uff.. leave all that.. what will you like to have for your breakfast"

Jodha smiled & kept her head on his shoulder "anything you like"

####

Jalal was driving & Jodha was admiring him.

Jalal "Jodha.. if you don't mind, may i ask you a question"

Jodha "ofcourse Jalal.. anything"

Jalal (hesitating) "yesterday.. i was.. sleeping with you.. still you didn't get angry on me"

Jodha looked at him with all her love in her eyes "i know Jalal that you would never ever hurt me.. and even if Kanha himself says me that you will try taking advantage of me.. then also i wont believe"

Jalal "why do you trust me that much"

Jodha admitted honestly "you know the answer... by the way this was not the first time i was sleeping in your hug.. even in the jungle i... i feel very safe in your arms"

Jalal held her hand & kissed it which made her cheeks crimson red.

Part 8

Its been more than a month since that incident.. to be precise.. 1 month, 1 week and 4 days. Still it was embeded fresh in Jodha's mind as if it all happened just a day ago.. but only the happy parts. Jalal had been so protective towards.

It was 10 pm & Jodha was lying on her bed trying to sleep but even the sleep was far away from her just like Jalal.

"Where are you Jalal.. its been whole 3 days since i saw you last. Are you really that busy that you can't even call me once. Leave call, you didn't even care to drop a message to me. And why do you keep that stupid phone with you when you keep it switched off." She pouted

"am missing you so much... your hugs, your love, your care, please come back now.. just 1 day is left for our project to finish. I don't want to lose this time. I want to live it with you.. and.. and you are nowhere to be seen from past 3 days. You had time to inform Abdul but not me. Now you just come back.. i won't forgive you that easily.. this time you will have to propose me with a kiss as bribery.. then only i will let you hug me & touch me" She chuckled at her naughty thoughts

KHAN MANSION

Jalal was busy staring at the stars with pain filled eyes.

Jalal "Abujaan.. please show me the right path. What am i supposed to do.. Should i confront her or not. Why this happens to me"

Suddenly a knock broke his grief. Next moment Abdul barged in.

Abdul "hey bro.. whats happening?? where were you from past 3 days?? is everything ok"

Jalal (with a fake smile) "yeah Abdul.. am fine"

Abdul "really??"

Jalal "yeah"

Abdul "ok.. you suddenly left in ur private plane leaving me with no single information about your whereabouts & you want me to believe that you are fine. Forget me.. you didn't even tell Jodha about it"

Jalal "its nothing like that.. I just had an urgent meeting"

Abdul "yeah.. meeting in the thick abandoned forests"

Jalal "wh.. what do you mean"

Abdul "i know all about your thrilling adventure. Do you even know how difficult it was to convince Jodha that you had told me to inform her about your so called ur urgent meeting"

Jalal "I am not in any way obliged to answer her or anyone about my every action"

Abdul's eyes widened.

Abdul "what happened between you two? Jodha didn't sound like you both had had a fight."

Jalal "she wont Abdul... she wont.. she is a superb actor Abdul... i am the stupid one who loved her without knowing her"

Abdul (hesitating) "did she denied your proposal"

Jalal "i never proposed her"

Abdul "then what's wrong"

Jalal (thought) "i myself don't know what went wrong.. what i missed.. what was missing in my love that she.. that she did this to me. I shared all my joy & pain with her and only her. I kept my heart in front of her & she brutally crushed it. Why did she act like she too had feelings for me. I would have never build up so many hopes atleast."

Jalal "abdul.. promise me you wont tell anything about this to anyone"

Abdul "but.."

Jalal "please"

Abdul "okay promise"

Jalal diverted the conversation to business & Abdul knew he wont get any answers now. So he left after sometime.

Jalal closed his eyes & floated back to days before THAT incident.

FLASHBACK

Jalal was standing outside Jodha's home with a nervous yet excited smile. He pressed the doorbell. In no time it opened & there stood the most beautiful lady on the earth with a surprised smile.

Jodha "Jalaal.. you here... come in please"

Jalal followed her inside. It was then he noticed Jodha's attire. She was wearing knee length white shorts & a pink top with small sleeves. A naughty smile crept on his lips looking at her sexy avtaar.

Jodha brought a glass of water for Jalal which he happily accepted.

Jodha "lucky me.. you came to my doorstep"

Jalal "Jodhaa.. woh.. i need your help in presentation of some data"

Jodha (faking a sad expression) "oh.. & here i was thinking that you are here to meet me"

Jalal chuckled "idiot"

Jalal took out his laptop from his bag & started it. But was not typing the password seeing Jodha looking attentively.

Jodha "i am not going to steal your data. Moreover if i want it.. its no more than cake walk to hack it"

Jalal "achaaa.. are you plotting against me by hacking my lappy"

Jodha "oops.. you got to know about my secret mission. I am so dead"

Both started laughing crazily.

Jodha "finee.. i am closing my eyes"

Jalal fastly typed the password which was "JODHA".. how can he type this in front of her. He changed Jodha's wallpaper before coming here but forgot to change the password.

After 5 mins..

Jodha "Seriouslly Jalal.. you drove all the way from your home to here just for this. You could have mailed me."

Jalal replied with a naughty smirk "Who said that I came here just for this"

Jodha was blushed sensing the words which his eyes were speaking.

Jalal continued "woh.. i was crossing from here.. so.. i thought to get this work done"

Jodha "& where were you coming from"

Jalal "Night Club"

Jalal chuckled seeing her ready to spit fire expression. Jodha picked up the water filled jug & pours it on Jalal making him flabergasted. Jodha starts running followed by Jalal. After a good Tom & Jerry chase, Jalal caught her & pinned to the wall.

Jalal "are you jealous"

Jodha "why would i be be jealous"

Jalal "Then why did you drenched me when i said i came from a CLUB.. u are jealous"

Jodha "no... i.. i"

Jalal "yes yes.. need some more time to cook an excuse"

Jodha "why will i make excuses.. i.. i was.. yes.. i was angry that you were enjoying in club & making me do the work"

Jalal reduced the gap between them

Jalal "yeah this time you are right.. i really enjoyed there."

Jodha gave him a glare. Jalal closed his eyes & continued with a dreamy smile "she was so beautiful. No.. not only beautiful, she was so... sexy & seducing"

Jodha's eyes widened. Jalal had never used such words in front of her... not even for her. And the look on his face was misleading her. She assumed that Jalal was so much lost in his dreamland that he didn't knew what he was saying.

On the other hand Jalal was enjoying her assumptions to the core.

Jodha "If she was so sexy & seducing.. what are you doing here?? You should be with her"

Jalal "yeah.. i was going to her home only but you know this work was important. Now i can freely enjoy with her without any tension of work. I love her"

Jodha closed her eyes in pain. She tried to speak something encouraging but it seemed as if her throat was on Satyagrah.

Tears were threatening to flow out but she controlled herself & gave the happiest smile possible. But Jalal can clearly feel that it was a fake one. Jalal regretted cooking those stories. He decided to break the ice. He moved forward & embraced her lightly.

Jalal "Jodhaaa..."

Jodha "hmm"

Jalal "i was just teasing you. Actually i was coming from Abdul's home. We were discussing about the project & came up with these changes. And i wanted to meet you so I came here instead of sending you a mail"

Jodha fumed hearing this & gave him a strong push due to which he lost his balance & he fell on couch with Jodha above her, as he was holding her.

Jalal's hands were happily resting on her waist. Jodha raised her head & saw Jalal staring at her. Then his gaze travelled to her lips. One of his hands travelled upward caressing all way long sending shudders in her body. He sneaked his hand into her hair & looked at her passionately. Her breath hitched.

Jalal held her firmly & rolled over. Now Jodha was beneath him. He balanced himself on his elbow. His breath was fanning her face. She closed her eyes. He took his own sweet time studying her features to his contentment. A water drop trickled from his hair on her face awakening her from her dreams.

Jodha said in a concerned tone "you are wet"

"am wet" Jalal repeated the same in his husky voice in a different tone which carried altogether a different meaning.

Jodha blushed discerning the meaning of his shameless remark.

Jodha "leave me.. let me get you a towel"

Jalal "i don't need one"

Jodha "you will fall sick"

Jalal "then you take care of me"

Jodha blushed picturising herself taking care of him like a wife. But for now she has to bring a towel for him.. only if he let go of her.

A smirk made its place on her lips getting a brilliant idea which can serve to her work. She started ticking him due to which he his elbows got unbalanced & he fell on her crushing her curves with his hard muscular chest. The plan backfired.

After regaining his balance Jalal looked at Jodha's close eyes. He smirked & got up.

Jodha "i will bring the towel"

She tried to leave but her wrist was captured in a tight clutch.

After a minute she came back with a towel & calmed nerves.. waiting for Jalal to come out of the washroom.

Jalal was standing in front of the mirrior. He was scratching his neck & as usual stressing his smart brain for some innocent ideas "kya karun... kya karun.. kya karun"

(what should i do.. what should i do.. what should i do)

An idea struck his brain & he frantically looked everywhere.. and smirked when he found the desired material.

"ahhh"

A cry came from inside the washroom which panicked Jodha. She knocked on the door.

"Jalal.. Jalal.. are you ok.. what happened... jalal.."

He came out with a frown & a hand covered in blood. Her eyes popped out seeing his hand. She quickly held his other hand & made him sit on the sofa.

Jodha "i'll come in a second"

She quickly ran from there & came with the first aid box. She sat on her knees in front of him & started cleaning his wound. She was trying hard to concentrate but the moistured eyes were not allowing her to get a clear view.

At that very moment Jalal regretted making this unwanted deliberate cut on his hand.

Jodha (in a chocked voice) "how did it happen Jalal"

Jalal "i m fine Jo. Please don't panic."

Jodha muttered angrily "fine my foot"

Jalal chuckled in his mind & Jodha completed the bandage.

Jodha "i asked you something Jalal"

Jalal gave her a confused look.

Jodha "How did it happen."

Jalal "i was thinking something & i didn't realise when & how i got this cut"

Jodha "And what made you so much oblivious to your surroundings"

Jalal smirked & kept mum. Jodha fumed & went in the bathroom. She checked around & found the side of mirror was drenched with blood.

Jalal "I am ok Jodha.."

Jodha "take this towel & wipe yourself.. give me your shirt.. i will dry it & iron it"

Jalal took the towel in his hand but how can the INJURED Jalal do this himself.

Jodha turned back & waited for his shirt.

Jalal (smirked) "ahhh" he faked a cry in very low voice.

Immediately Jodha turned back & witnessed Jalal in pain trying to pull out his tugged t-shirt out of his jeans.

Jodha "need help?"

Jalal nodded like he was the most innocent person of the world.

Jodha "sit"

Jalal quietly followed. She took the towel & started drying his hair & Jalal was obviously enjoying the "HUBBY TREATMENT" he was bestowed upon. She was taking care of him like a wife.

Jalal thought "I didn't knew a shallow cut can be so rewarding.. hehe.. otherwise i would have done it long ago"

After drying his hair, Jodha asked him to stand. She untugged his t-shirt. Her heartbeats were so fast that she was literally gasping for breath. She slowly pulled up his shirt & her throat dried witnessing him in that form.

Jalal smirked "Like it"

Jodha got embarrassed to be caught red handed. She replied sternly "i have seen better"

Jalal forwarded a step towards her "ah really.. where did you see BETTER"

Jodha stepped back & his question made her remember the half naked Jalal under the heavy rain who was looking no less than a Greek God. She smiled dreamingly & blushed heavily when she remember how shamelessly she checked him out that day.. uhhu.. that night.

Jalal felt a pang of jealousy when he contemplated that she was ACTUALLY thinking about someone.

Jalal (irritated) "i hope you don't tear off every man's shirt who come to your doorstep"

Jodha snapped back to reality & stepped back seeing him so close. Jalal was nowhere to leave her. He stepped close to her till she hit the wall & captured her between his arms & the wall. He had lost all his control perceiving that HIS LADY was thinking about someone else when he was right there in front of her that too half naked.

The aroma of his masculine body was driving her crazy. She gulped to control herself.

Jalal "do you still think HE was better than me"

Jodha shivered under his constant stare.

Jalal came even more closer. His bare rock chest was crushing her softies. Jodha clutched her fist tightly. Her breathing was heavy with uneven heartbeats.

Jalal held her hands & moved it on his abs. She shivered as her hands fell on his chiseled body.

Jalal (whispered kissing her ears) "did you feel like this with HIM"

He kissed her closed eyes & led her hands up to his chest & massaged all over his front.

Jodha lost the last string of control which she had. She started rubbing her chest all over him on her own accord... he needn't guide her now. The touch of his perfect body was sending shivers all over her body.

He held her waist & brought her even more closer to him. Her hands moved on his back & started massaging his bare back.

Jalal trialled his kisses over her eyes to her cute little nose. He proceeded to her left cheek. The pink hue that had covered her cheeks were inviting him to pounce on it.

He kissed there a little longer..nibbled it & smooched on it. Not able to control himself, he bit there with his sharp teeth.

Jodha winced in pain "ahhh"

Her moan brought Jalal out of his reverie. He was shocked at their position. What the hell has he done. Situation has gone out of his control.

Perceiving a halt from Jalal, irritated Jodha took the lead. She pulled his head down & placed her lips on his'.

Jalal was shocked to see this bold Jodha. But he cant blame her. He was the one who ignited fire in her. Although unintensionally but he started seducing her.

Jalal felt guilty. But her soft petals on his lips were making it difficult for him. He was not able to decide what he should do.

He broke the kiss & placed his forehead on hers. He took hold of her hands that were on his chest. He brought her hand on her sides. With no other contact of their bodies he just tried calm down himself & her.

After 10 minutes, Jodha opened her eyes & everything that happened between them flashed before her eyes. She blushed heavily.

But next moment she didn't knew how to react. She moved back her forehead. Jalal freed her hand slowly. She ran to her room picking up Jalal's shirt.

Jalal chuckled seeing her shy behaviour & heaved a sigh that she didn't feel bad about their intimacy.

FLASHBACK ENDS

A lone tear escaped his eye re-living one of the best moment spent with his love. He glanced at the little scratch on his hand & smiled remembering her love & care. Was that really love & care or was he just assuming all that. Why did it all had to happen when he had started loving her so much.

Jalal (sighed) "just a day more.. and the project will be over"

###

Next day Jodha got ready with the hope of seeing Jalal. She was excited and sad. Excited because she had a hope of meeting Jalal and sad because this would be their last day of project.

On the other hand Jalal didn't wanted to meet Jodha because he was sure that he wont be able to behave normally.

Jodha reached office & knocked on Jalal's door. She pushed it a little. It was her usual routine from past 3 days. But unlike those days.. it opened & she saw his majesty in his full glory sitting on his chair. He was busy on his phone. She stepped in & stood there admiring him.

Jalal looked at Jodha entering his cabin. But unlike the other days he felt pain in his heart seeing her there with a charming smile. He soon ended his talk on phone & prepared himself for worst.

Jalal faked a smile "hey Jodha.. come sit"

But Jodha took a route round the table towards his chair. Jalal stood in confusion & to his surprise Jodha hugged him tightly.

Jodha "i missed you so much.. where had you been?? No calls, no messages.. you even didn't inform me anything"

Jalal was not able to decide what he should do. Jodha broke the hug when she felt no response from him of her hug. She looked at Jalal who was looking at her with emotionless eyes. Jodha shivered seeing his cold glare "what happened Jalal.. is everything ok"

"yeah" that was all she got in reply. She held him hand & made him sit on his chair & kneeled down.

Jodha "what's the matter Jalal.. you can share it with me"

Jalal "its nothing.. am busy right now.. you have anything important to talk about business?? If no.. please leave"

Jodha was shocked by his behaviour.

Jodha "Ja..Jalalll.. what happened.. why are you saying all these things"

Jalal ignored her question & picked up his mobile & started checking his mails.

Jodha was not able to understand anything. She went to her cabin with teary eyes not knowing what happened that Jalal was behaving with her in such a way. She tried to remember if she had done something that caused such indifference but to her dismay she couldn't think of any such thing.

It followed a formal short farewell of Jodha. She missed her friend in this Jalal.

Part 9

Nandini & hamida observed that Jalal was behaving very weirdly. He was extremely dull & gloomy. They asked him about this but he never revealed anything to anyone.

Jalal went to his room & opened his cupboard in which he had kept Jodha's painting "Why did you do this? Am i that bad? Don't i deserve love? You just wanted to prove that you can bring me on your bed.. chiii how can you think such a thing Jodha. Why? Why always me? Why everyone betrays me"

FLASHBACK

Jodha entered the office in a red saree with black border. Ignoring the admiring glances of the people present there, she made her way to Jalal's cabin. She entered his cabin with a knock. As soon as his gaze fell on her, he got up from the chair & shamelessly checked her out from top to bottom, ogling at her curves. Jalal held her by her waist & kissed her cheeks.

Jalal "good morning beautiful"

She blushed "good morning"

Jalal (seductively) "if looking sexy would have been a crime, you would have been sentenced to a lifetime cage in my arms"

Jodha flushed hearing his shameless remark & pushed him a bit "you better concentrate on your work"

"That's what am doing" he grinned.

He pulled her closer. His hand was seductively caressing her bare waist. He fished out his mobile from his pocket with his other hand & clicked a selfie kissing her cheek. She blushed heavily.

"I have many works to complete.. You better don't get yourself distracted" She chuckled & went out giving him a sweet smile. After office hours, he decided to ask her out "may i have the pleasure to dine with the beautiful lady" He forwarded his hand.

Jodha placed her hand on his "pleasure will be all mine"

They both giggled. Jalal drove her to the same place where he had decided to propose her.. the sea beach.

Jodha was pleasantly surprised to see the arrangements. A table for two was arranged with all sorts of dishes of her like. The place was decorated with red & white balloons, ribbons & roses. Romantic elegant music was playing behind.

They had a romantic dinner with cute chit chats. After that Jalal insisted her for a dance.

Jodha kept one of her hands on his shoulder & other one was clasped in Jalal's possessive grip. Jalal slowly slid his hand on her bare waist. She closed her eyes to capture the sensation. He pulled her more close & they were swaying slowly with the beats of music.

He advanced closer & kissed on her forehead, followed by eyes & cheeks. Jodha was relishing the moment to its fullest. Jalal stared at her lips. His eyes were turning dark with desire. He looked at Jodha for her consent to which she nodded meekly.

Soon their lips met sending shivers all over their bodies. How many times they had dreamt of this. Their fantasy was taking shape. The slow loving kiss turned into a passionate one. They tongues were exploring their mouths, and hands were exploring their bodies. Jalal's hands moved on her bare back. It reached the dori of her blouse. He slowly untied it. Jodha sneaked her hand under his shirt & was feeling the touch of his skin.

They broke apart due to shortage of air. Jalal proceeded towards her neck.. nibbling & kissing it hard.. leaving red marks all over her neck. She caressed his chest. He kissed her cheek & cuddled her into his arms.

After subduing the building passion, he made her sit. They both spent the night peacefully beneath the sky under the protection of moon & stars.

Next day Jalal was sitting in his cabin & was very happy with the ongoing progress in their relationship. Abdul barged in.

Abdul "Jalal.. give the papers of IRIS project"

Jalal opened the drawer of his table & searched for it. He was shocked when he didn't find the papers.

Jalal was frustrated "where the hell are the papers"

He searched frantically throwing away the other things out of the drawer.

Abdul "relax Jalal.. & tell me where had you kept it"

Jalal "in this drawer"

Abdul "are you sure"

Jalal "yes abdul.. its my dream project.. i cant let it go.. i have worked for it since 5 long years.. do something Abdul.. search those papers"

Abdul tried to search for it but they embraced failure.

Abdul "are you sure you didn't take it to your home"

Jalal "yeah.. am cent percent sure"

They searched for it in the whole cabin. Jalal was growing anxious with each passing second. He was not able to believe that his dream project is slipping out of his hands.

They went to Jalal's mansion & tried to search there but it was not there. The time of submission was gone and so was his dream.

But it didn't end there. He opened the site of IRIS and found that it has been bagged by Abul Mali. Abdul was sure that it would he very tough to handle Jalal now.

They were sitting in his room helplessly when Nimmi knocked & entered.

Nimmi "bhai.. someone sent you a packet"

Jalal took the packet from her & Nimmi went from there. He broke the seal & opened it. It contained those papers which he was trying to find from last 2 hours. It had a note with it...

I think you must be searching for it Jalal..

So generous of me to send it to you..

But you don't need to thank me

-Abul Mali

His blood boiled with anger. Jalal "how the hell these papers reached him"

Abdul "i think its done by someone from your office"

Jalal "whoever has done it will see his end today"

Jalal looked like a hungry devil tiger. He stepped out & all his bodyguards shivered seeing there ever-calm boss in such an avatar.

He covered the distance which generally took him 20 mins in 5 mins. He slammed the door of his cabin & opened his laptop and started checking through the CCTV camera footage.

He had a CCTV camera installed in his cabin which records the happenings only when he is not there.

After half an hour search though vedios he found someone entering his office in his absence.

A veiled girl wearing red saree entered his cabin. She searched in his drawer & took out those papers. He remembered that saree. Jodha was wearing it the previous day. How can he forget that saree... he had such beautiful memory with THAT saree on Jodha. He was not able to believe his eyes. He paused it & zoomed on her face. But it was fully covered with a black cloth. He resumed the vedio.

It showed that her mobile rang & she picked it up.

"Hii baby.. how are you"

...

"Ah don't worry i got the papers.. & Abul Mali will give 50 crores to me for this.. am missing you sweetheart.."

...

"Yeah i will come soon.. but i want to break that Jalal's arrogance first.. i will prove that no man can resist my body.. i will bring him on my bed.. but i have to behave normally with him now so that he doesn't suspect me"

...

"Acha bye.. i have to get out from here.. then we will celebrate tomorrow night with beautiful love making.. Love you baby"

She ended the call & went from the cabin.

Jalal went numb seeing this vedio. He played it again thinking that it must be his imagination. But he was shattered to see it all over again.

He switched off his laptop. No this is not true.. Jodha can't do this to me.. Maybe she is someone else. But it's HER voice.

Abdul came in with a knock "did you find anything Jalal"

Jalal nodded in a no.

Abdul "should we inform police for further investigation"

Jalal again nodded in no.

Abdul "please yaar speak something.. what happened"

Jalal "i want to be alone for sometime"

He went towards Jodha's cabin. He was about to knock but then the door was slightly open. He saw her talking on phone & her words completely shattered him..

"Love you too baby" these words were enough to make Jalal's heart cry in betrayal. He didn't had any courage to listen further. He went to his cabin and locked himself in it.

###

Jalal left in his private plane & asked pilot to fly to some random place. But before they reached that place, they had to land in a forest due to some technical necessity.

Jalal was roaming around in the forest when he reached a beautiful place which he recognised.

Jalal shocked "this one.. i have seen it in my dreams"

He sat beneath a tree & his hands on its own accord started to remove the mud of the place beside him. He was confused by his own behaviour.

He found a book wrapped in a plastic bag. It looked very beautiful.. majestic & royal. He opened the book & was shocked to see what was written inside it...

"JALALUDDIN MOHAMMAD AKBAR"

He was flabbergasted. He was not able to believe that he found the dairy of the great emperor Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar.

He moved his hand on that page and felt a known feeling. He laid down there thinking that should he read that dairy or not. He fell asleep hugging the dairy.

All of the 3 days he spent his time in that garden only. He felt peace at that place like it was very close to his heart.

Finally he decided to go back to Mumbai. He knew next day would be Jodha's last day in Khan industries, and it needed his presence there. Although he never wanted to face her now, but he was determined that he would move on.

FLASHBACK ENDS

A week passed by, everybody was worried about Jalal's changed behaviour. He rarely smiled. Jodha tried to contact him many times but he ignored her to his best capability.

It was Abdul's birthday today. He booked a roof top hotel just for his group. He knew this could help JJ sorting out their problems. So he didn't invite anyone other than his friend circle.

At 9 pm

Everyone were there except Jalal. Jodha was getting impatient. She wanted to meet HIM as soon as possible. Her restlessness was clearly visible on her face.

Finally Jalal reached with the most poker & expressionless face. He greeted Abdul with the the biggest fake smile possible.

Jodha smiled at him & he royally ignored her & took a seat on the bar counter. He poured himself a drink. Everyone were shocked seeing Jalal having alcohol.. he had never drunk before.

The party was going on but Jalal was least interested. He was just sipping on his drink. He was not even interested in coming here. But he can't sadden Abdul by his absence.

Jodha went to him "hii Jalal"

Jalal nodded a curt nod & turned his face away.

Jodha "Jalal..." Words betrayed her. Nothing came out of her mouth.

Abdul finally thought to divert his attention.

Abdul "Jodha.. you have to sing a song"

Jodha "but abdul.."

Abdul "no ifs & buts.. its my birthday, you cant deny me"

Jodha smiled faintly "ok"

She started the song gazing at Jalal to which he turned his face other side.

"Dabi dabi saanson mein suna tha maine

Bole bina mera naam aaya

Palkein jhuki aur uthne lagi to

Haule se uska salaam aaya"

(In the low voice of the breath, I'd heard

Without saying my name had come

When the eyelashes started falling and then rising

Slowly his greetings came)

She was hurt by his attitude towards her. Her heart teared in pain.

"Roz hi dil ki aag utha kar

Haath pe le kar chalna hai"

(Everyday taking the fire of the heart

On the hands i have to walk )

"Tere bina bina tere boondh boondh ab

Raat raat bhar jalna hai"

(Without You now drop by drop

I'm burning for the whole night)

"Tu mile na mile ye haseen silsile

Waqt ke sakht hain ab ye katate nahin"

(Even if You meet or not meet, these beautiful chain of events

They are sharp like the time and they don't pass)

Jalal got up from his place & walked towards her. A smile made its way on her lips.. but soon it vanished when he passed her & held the railing of the terrace & continued the song.

Jalal "Tere bina saans bhi chalti hai

Tere bina dil bhi dhadakta hai

Yaad nahin tha yaad aaya"

(Without You my breath also works

Without You my heart also beats

I'd forgotten this, but now I realise it)

The words which he picked to sing smashed her heart into pieces. She did not continue the song & left from there giving an excuse that she wanted to use washroom.

After about 20 mins she came back with a presentable face. Still it was clear from her red eyes that she was crying all the time.

Jodha "i should leave guys.. its quiet late"

Shreya "Jodha.. can you please drop Jalal to his home"

Jodha gave her a confused look.

Raj "woh.. he is drunk & cant drive in this state"

Jodha "ok.."

They helped Jalal to Jodha's car. He was stumbling on his way.

After reaching Khan Mansion, she helped Jalal to reach his room. Luckily she didn't encounter his family members.

She made him lie on his bed & was looking at him with teary eyes. Jalal slowly opened his eyes & saw Jodha. He pushed her away. Jodha was hell shocked. She had never expected such behaviour from him. He got up & started shouting on her.

Jalal "you.. you.. why cant you just leave me alone. You got what you wanted.. please let me live in peace. I hate myself for loving you.. Why did you betray me. You crushed my heart brutually."

She stood numb not getting what did she do to make Jalal hate her. Jalal continued in a broken crying tone "i had loved you so much.. and.. and you didn't think twice before stabbing on my back."

He mumbled something and became unconscious. Jodha again make him lay on bed & opened his shoes. She looked around for a blanket but found none. She thought it to be in the cupboard & opened it.

She saw her painting in which she looked like a queen. Then her eyes traced every part of that cupboard which was filled with THEIR photos. She remembered Jalal hiding this cupboard when Abdul was trying to open it when they came here.

She was admiring the painting made by him when her gaze fell on the date written on the corner of the painting.. she was shocked to see that date. She had not even came to India that time. And internet didn't contained any photos of her before she came to India.

Jodha "how is this possible?? It means Jalal had made this painting with his imagination"

She saw a small paper was there beneath it which read..

"I love you my DREAM GIRL"

She looked at Jalal who was sleeping peacefully. She closed the cupboard & went from there.
