CHAPTER 17:
Hoshiyaar are you out of your sense...Ruquaiyya shouted at him, her eyes were filled with tears and has enormous anger...
Yes Begum sahiba i saw him going to Jodha begums room and i waited outside her room, but shehensha dint came out of it...and i waited whole night outside hojra, and shehensha came out of her room, and his eyes were filled with happiness, and i came running here to inform you...
"hoshiyaar if you are lying than i wont spare your life..."
"No begum sahiba, i am not lying how can i lie to you, you are everything to my life...i have grown up with you, my happiness lies in your comfort..."
Ruquaiyya Fumed in anger...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later in the morning, Jodha started her prayer to tulsi maa, and prayed for the well being of her husband and his sultanate...
and recited the gayatri mantra, offered prasad to Moti bai...
Moti was indeed happy for Jodha after all Jalal and jodha had become one at night...she was happy for Jodha and her relation with Jalal...
SHe walked fast to her room, and met Rahim on her way who came running and lifted his arms and signalled her to lift him, by making puppy like face...
Jodha was happy to see him, later she handed over the aarti to Moti and lifted Rahim... and she kissed him on his cheeks...
"Rahim, you want to listen to stories again,...but i have lots of work today, maasa is going back to Amer so i need to look for her comfort of journey, so come in the night i will tell you new stories..."
"choti ammijaan, i came here to thank you, for telling me story yesterday, i liked it a lot, and loved the game too...since shehensha came i could not thanku properly...so"
"Rahim, you wanna thank me, but how will you thank me..."
Rahim kissed on her cheeks,,,, and said "thanku ammmijaan..."
Jodhas eyes got filled with tears...by the gesture of him...
"why are you crying ammijaan"
"Rahim, for nothing, you called me ammijaan by mistake na so..."
"oh, to call you as choti ammi jaan is so tough...so i will call you also as ammijaan from now on...do you have any problem with it..."
she kissed on his cheeks and said "no problem rahim its my pleasure",
Ruquaiyya who was seeing this burned with anger and walked to her hojra...hoshiyaar followed her ...Moti bai noticed this and thought..."dont know why, but i feel Ruquaiyya Begum seems not happy with Jodha being here in Agra"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hoshiyyar humaein kuch nahin patha humeain Jodha begum, Agra maein nahin Dikhni chahiye..."
"begum sahiba, hum kya karien jis se Jodha Begum aur uski baandhi Agra se Amer chale jaaye"
"hoshiyyaar suno, Rani Mainavathi ab Amer laut Rahi hai, humaein kuch aisa karni chahiye ki Jodha Begum kud Agra chodne par mazboor hojaaye"
"Lekin begum sahiba its a tough its not possible, as shehensha has spent night with Jodha begum yesterday only, he will kill us if i am caught..."
"hoshiyaar if you are caught he will kill you, but what if Ruquaiyya Begum is caught, jalal will not think of punishing me"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruquaiyya reached Jodhas hojra, and thought of executing her evil plans...to send jodha begum back to Amer...
Adaab Jodha begum, how are you she asked Jodha who was praying to Kanha...
"ruquaiyya begum , aap yahan , pranaam"
"Jodha begum, i heard Rani mainavathi is leaving to Amer today,so i came here to give her a gift from mughals sultanate queen as its my duty to take care of royal relatives..."
"jee, dhanyavaad, maasa prasanna hogi is tofe ko dekh kar...woh ammi jaan se milne gayi hai aap kud hi unhe de dijiye unko bahuth accha lagega"
"okie jodha begum, u know what i also came here to talk to you..."
"what it is Ruquaiyya Begum"
"jodha begum, make sure you call me as mallike e khaas from now on, i am not a common begum like you in Agra, you must be knowing that what status i hold in jalals mind and in Agra.."
"humaein kshama kar dijiye, hum dhyaan rakhenge is baath ko"
"And by the way Jodha begum, i like you a lot, do you know why, you always agree for everything what Jalal and i expect from you, and i heard that yesterday night was a special night for you with Jalal... what happend Jodha begum why are you surprised, i know everything about jalal, where he goes in night and with which women he spends nights, what he wish and what he not...Dont think that after spending some night with Jalal you have become his special wife...dont ever live in illusion that you will take a special place in his heart, because he dont have heart,... i wanna advice you one thing, from now on make a habit to wait for jalal in your hojra for rest of your life, since i know Jalals habits that he will never look back at any begum after spending a night with them, now you no more a special in his women lists..."
Jodha had unsaid tears in her eyes,,,
Mainavathi heard Ruquaiyyas talk with Jodha and entered the hojra...
Ruquaiyya smiled in evilishly
"arrey, i am glad you came ontime, may be you heard what advice i gave to your daughter...Mainavathiji, what you think Jalal will love your daughter and will make her a khaas begum...even though he married her but her status is nothing equal to baandhi in eyes of me, and jalal, dont dream that your daughter will become mallika of sultanate that can never happen as i wont let that happen nor jalal will give her that much respect, anyways you are leaving to Amer, who knows you may come back again to take back your daughter soon.."
----------------------------------------------------------
"Jodha, tell me is jamaisa wont love you?"
"no maasa, i dont have any answer to your question"
Mainavathi hugged her,...
"Jodha dont think that i am forcing you to stay in Agra, but try to understand we have two more daughters in Amer who are yet to be married, if i take you back no one will accept you as a Rajavanshi rajkumari, you will always be a rejected wife of Mughals shehenshah, and your return to Amer means a black days in Amer, untill you are in Agra, Amer is safe, your relation with jamaisa means a lot to Amer, and i fold my hands infront of you my dear, that make this relationship work, atleast for the Amers sake and its safety.."
"Maasa, dont worry, i will always make you proud, and i will never come back to Amer...without shehenshsas approval in near future too"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rani mainavathi and Bagwant Das took Jalals leave and proceeded towards Amer...
but a deep storm was building in Amer fort which even Bagwant Das was unaware of...
it was a start of black days in Amer which soon gonna engulp Jodhas life ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shariffuddin and Adham khan thought to join their hands to kill Jalal, but they wanted to enter in his good books as it was necessary for them to reach high in eyes of awaam (civils)...
but in mean time they wanted to utilize Rajvanshis against mughals...Shariffuddin was subedar of Ajmer and he know all the Rajvanshis actitivity he knew, suraya bhaan and sujamal and including Bagwant Das can be used by them against jalal...
Maham joined the hands with her son Adham and all the three planned to use the rajvanshis against Jalal...
Shariffuddin and Adham khan planned to meet sujamal and also to unite him with Suryabhaan, so the next morning they started their journey towards Rajvanshis...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruquaiyya Begum was worried for her status and her relation with Jalal...
Maham knew Ruquaiyyas weakness and planned to use Ruquaiyya against Rajvanshis and ultimately the day had come in her favour that Maham saw Ruquaiyya desperate to separate Jodha from Jalal...
she thought its a right time to show exit to Rajvanshis from Agra and also to make rajvanshis against Jalal, by targetting Jodha begum a daughter of Rajvanshis...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Jodha was sad that mainavathi left to Amer, but was terrified how ruquaiyya begum can think so low of her husband...she recalled the night which they spent together...
FB(Flash back)
Jalal sat on Jodhas bed... and held her both hands...and looked straight in her eyes...
"jodha begum there is no need for you to fear, i know ammijaan want to see our salim soon, but i assure you that i will not touch you unless you permit me, nor i will force you to give me a heir, i know how deep in heart i want to see my child call me abbu jaan for that happiness which is priceless i cant force your feelings..."
Jodha had tears in her eyes...she never thought Jalal is so gem of a person...
"shehensha, please forgive me, that i could never give you the happiness which a husband expect from a wife, i dont know shehensha whats the reason whenever i think of fulfilling my duty of wife to you, my heart never gives me a permission.."
Jalal looked at her whose head was bent..
"Jodha begum, i understand the reason behind it...may be you need more time to think about salim, but i know one day you will give my son to hold him near my heart... i will hold him one day and hear him cry..."
Jodha was surprised to hear this...she widened her eyes and looked at him in a shock... he smirked at her...and walked towards the bed...
"jodha begum, even ammijaan want me to spend time in your hojra, so i am gonna take rest tonight in your room, if you dont have any plan to guard your husband even you can rest ...and my soldiers are there to guard us..."
jodha too slept next to him...and he smiled at her...
Jalal turned towards her... and saw her beautiful face...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atagah sahab was aware of the huge storm which is soon gonna hit Agra, he made sure that all the preparations for wars on full fledge, he made sure that the preparations are done in a secret way...Atgah sahab planned to attack enemies in gorilla warfare style this time, so that enemies will lack the chance to prepare for war and will be easily defeated...
the Mid india was their target this time, where most of the Rajvanshis states lie...Jalal wanted to occupy the whole Rajputana lands... he wanted a assurance of relation from other Rajput kings too...the same way how Jodha was a gift from Raja bharmal side...
But even the Rajvanshi kings were aware that now Jalals eyes are on thier land, if they loose against jalal either they have to choose death or a life long shame to their community by giving their daughters hand to Jalal as a gift...
so all the Rajvanshis (other than Amer) met in a secret meeting who no one was aware of... Raja Surya bhan, sujamal, rana pratap and chadra singh(Bagwant Das BIL), all the Rajvanshis of hindustan gathered there...
the one and only reason they wanted to unite was Jalals terror which was spreading in Rajvanshis land...
Rana pratap adressed them and told that we need to unite and fight back with jalal and wipe his name from hindustan...and all the Rajvanshis agreed... but Chandra singh interruped...
last time when Raja Bharmal needed helping hand no one came forward to help him so now i dont want any Rajvanshi to back off, if jalal attacks any Rajvanshis...and a father has to offer his daughters hand to him...
one man spoke, it was Bharmal who took the propsal to Jalal, or else Rajkumari Jodha would not have been married to him...
Raja surya bhan interrupetd...
"this is wrong he never offered Jodhas hand to jalal, but was forced as his sons were under his captives, Raja bharmal lost this battle because of Sujamal, who is being invited to this Rajvanshis sabha, he dont stand a chance to be called Rajvanshis..."
Sujamal who was listening to this got up...
"i wanted my Amer throne being elder of Amer family, the throne belonged to me, but kakasa made Bagwant Das as its king, i came to ask other rajvanshis help but no one helped me, so i had to join hands with Shariffdin to win Amer back, but kakasa met jalal and entered the treaty with Jalal, and Mughals betrayed me later"
Pratap was listening the tongue quarrel between all the Rajvanshis raised his hands to stop the ppl who were blaming each other...and were busy in putting others status down...
he raised his voice and asked all to stop ...
the Rajvasnhis came witha idea to support each other and bring the glory of mughals down in hindustan
Raja Chandra singh spoke...
"since we are all here to unite against mughals, i want to disclose that Raja bagwant Das too wanna defeat jalal for Amers pride, and being my sister husband i have given him support , if you all dont have any problem we can use Amer against jalal as jalal trusts amer blindly since Jodha is married to Jalal, and its a right oppertunity for us, but before attacking jalal he wants Jodha and man singh to be back to Amer..."
Pratap spoke..."i agree with you, lets give support to Amer this time atleast, but i dont think Rajkumari will ever support enemies of her husband..."
Chandra singh spoke.."yes she wont support us, we very well know what a Rajvanshi wife can do in favour of her husband, but i dont want to see Rajkumari to suffer in hands of ruthless jalal in his harem, because of our attack on jalal.."
Sujamal and surya bhaan too agreed to support amer, this time as both were guilty that Jodha is trapped in Jalals relation, since both were not capable to save Jodha...
Chandra singh left to meet bagwant Das who has just returned from Agra, and he had gathered some information against jalal which can be support them in war against Jalal...
But Bagwant Das could not bring Man singh and Jodha along with him this time...Chandra singh asked him to invite Joda and man singh back to amer soon by giving any reason to jalal so that no one will doubt of their plan in agra...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shariffuddin and Adham khan met sujamal and asked his help this time, but Sujamal knew the plan of SD as he is being cheated last time, but he immediately agreed, SD and AK met suryabhaan and other rajvanshis and offered them a army support to them...but asked them to keep it as a secret as they dont want their name to be exposed ...
Surayabhaan and sujamal had other plans to SD and AK, once they kill jalal they thought of finishing these two mughals too...
Rajvanshi wanted to use any type of khootneethi against mughals so they thought to use SD and AK in achieving this...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ruquaiyya reached Jalals hojra...
"jalal how could you do this to me, you told me that Jodha begum is a near baandhi and how could you touch her..."
"ruquaiyya she is no more a baandhi, she is my begum now, and soon she is gonna give me a waaris, which i promised to hand over to you.."
"jalal. how could you jalal, i know i am unable to give you a waaris, but jalal i wont tolerate a Rajvanshi women becoming MUZ, "
"Ruquaiyya, i dont want to listen anything against my begum not even from you"
"But jalal, you said once you take revenge on her you will send her back"
"Ruquaiyya, yes i remeber that but now i cant as i love her a lot"
"Jalal you can never anyone other than me...you cannot Jalal, i am your wife, your friend...how could you jalal..."
Ruquaiyya was defeated...soon she went and picked up a knife...and was thretening jalal to end her life...
"jalal, you love Jodha begum and you dont mind loosing me for Jodha begum so let it be, before you leave me, i will leave this world..."
Jalal dint know that to do with Ruquaiyya as he knew whatever Ruquaiyya says she does that...
he tried to grab the knife from her hand and became successful...and he was unable to control her...and slapped hard on cheeks...
Ruquaiyya fell unconscious in his arms...
Jalal lifted her and made her to lie on the bed...and was sorry for her as he slapped her for the first time...
he took some water and sprinkled on her face...and tried to wake her up...
she opened her eyes slowly and hugged him tightly...
"Jalal tell me whatever you said its a joke right, you cannot love anyone other than me na jalal..."
"ruquaiyya i was just joking i cant love anyone i dont have heart...but you rule my mind jaan.."
