Chapter 4
Recap: He still couldn't apologies for not trusting her and his extreme rude behavior. To hide his emotion he got up without looking her and turns away face from her... Jodha swiftly grab his hand again before he walked out... She knew his guilt is killing him inside... she couldn't bear his pain...
Jalal again with surprised and tremble with her touch... His eyes were wet... He still not looking at her... his words were chocking... his sobs was stuck in his thought... with heavy voice he said... hame abhi Jane dijye...
Jodha with tears in her eyes... Shenshah, hum bhi aaram karna chate hai... hame pata he jab tak aap hamare paas hai ham surkshit hai... hume kuch nahi ho sakta... (Shenshah, I want to relax and rest...but your presence gives me assurance that as long as you are near me nothing will happens to me)
Jalal with intense emotions and tears looked back at Jodha...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It was very much emotional for both of them... his guilt was at the peak... tears were rolling out constantly... It was not in his control to conceal his feeling... first time he failed to control his sentiment... In one night he gone through so many ups and down... he was feeling vulnerable in front of Jodha... He finally gathered his strength and controlled his emotion and wiped his tears...
Jodha with plead requested Shenshah... Ruk jaiye...
Jalal sat next to her again... Jodha was still holding his hand... the feeling of being together was amazing... it was again silence in the room... their eyes were playing hide and seek game... Finally Jalal started... Jodha begum, hum apka dil se shukriya karna chate hai... par apka shukriya karke hum aapki kurbani ki tohin nahi karna chahenge... aap ne jo kiya hai wo kisi labz ka mohtaj nahi... Par hume ab bhi samaj me nahi aa raha ki humne aapki itni tohin ki...barbar logo se samne, darbaar me, benzir ke samne... yaha tak ki humne, aapko kabhi na dekhne ki kasam bhi khai, par phir bhi... itna sab kuch karne ke baad me aapne apni zindgi ki parwa na karte hue vo zehrili seviya hame vish se bachane ke liye khai... Apane hamre liye aesa kyu kiya Jodha begum...
Jodha was stunned with his direct approach... She looked at him with little blush and responded back... Shenshah, Aap humare pati hai... aapki zindgi bachana hamara kartvay tha... Shayad aap hamari jagah hote to aap bhi vohi karte...
Jalal with little witty smirk on his face...To aapne hamari jaan sirf apka farz samjke bachai... to yakinan Salima begum ne apna farz nahi nibhaya... unhe bhi to yakin tha us payale me zehar tha...
Jodha was trapped in Jalal's witty answer... Shenshah, aap aesa sochne ki galti kar rahe hai... kadachit us vakt Salima begum ko bhi pata nahi tha ki us pyale me vish hai... Unho ne bhi utna hi prayash kiya tha aapki zindgi bachane ke liye... Salima begum aap ka bahut aadar karti hai...
Jalal with little infuriated tone; To aap abh bhi yahi kahengi ki ye sab aapne apne farz ke liye kiya hai...
Jodha understood completely what he wanted to hear... and why is getting upset every time when she say it was her duty...
Jodha with love looked at him and with smirk she responded back; Shenshah, hamare ye sawal me hi aapka jawab chupa hai... Hum bhi aapse yahi sawal karenge...ki aapne hamare liye prathna kyu ki... yaha tak ki aapne Krishan bhagawan ki Aarti ki...aur janta se anurodh kiya hamri jivan ke liye prathna kare... aur aapki ankho me ye aasoo kyu hai... aapki itni saari begum hai... ek kam ho gati to aapke jivan me koi fark nahi padta... to aapne ye sab kuch kyu kiya...
They both looked at each other with love... both of them knew feelings of each other but didn't wanted to admit it first...
Jalal was amaze with her answer; He responded back... Jodha begum, hum shenshah hai... aur shenshah ke sawal pe sawal nahi hota...
Jodha; parntu shenshah, abhi aap hamare pati hai... shenshah nahi...
Jalal with smirk with her quick witty response then with teasing sound; Jodha begum, hame kese pata chalega ki kab hum shenshah hai aur... kab aapke shohar... to phir jab aapko lage hum aapke shohar hai tab aap hame Jalal keh ke bulaiye.
Jodha face turned red with blush with very shy and low tone... Shenshah... Hum aapka naam nahi le sakte...Aap hamre shohar hai...
Jalal smirk seeing Jodha so shy... He was completely out of all guilt and stress... his smile came back on his face... he was feeling much relived after talking with Jodha...
Dasi came inside and inform that Mirza Hakim's has arrival and wanted to see Jodha begum... Jalal was surprise... no other man allowed in harem and Mirza Hakim came to see Jodha in Harem and without meeting him first. He allowed him to come inside...
Mirza Hakim entered in the room with worried face and walk fast towards Jodha and asked Bhabhi Jaan aap thik to ho na... Jodha with smile Ji... hum bilkul swasth hai... pranam dever ji...
Mirza realized her forgot to do Addab in worried...and saw Jalal sitting their...
Mirza with little apology and smile... Bhai Jaan... Bhabhi Jaan ...Aadab... then he added...Bhai Jaan hame maaf kar dijye hum bina appki ijaajat bhabhi jaan se milne Harem me aa gaye... Hum jaise hi Agra aaye hume Agdha sahib ne bataya ki Bhabhi jaan kese aapki jaan bachai... Aur hum se raha nahi gaya so dode chale aaye bhabhi jaan ko dekhne.
Jalal get up from their and hugged mirza and Said Accha kiya tum yaha chale aaye... then he told him to sit on the sofa near Jodha's bed.
Mirza; Bhai jaan...Remember I told you that night, however that time you were busy in taunting my loving and caring bhabhi jaan...I knew my bhabhi jaan is the best... She has a pure heart and you are luckiest to have her... She is pure Rajvanshi and she had proved her bravery and love for her husband...
Jodha with teasing and taunting sound responded Dever ji... Koi bat nahi... Hota hai aesa... that time your bhai was lost in beauty of his favorite dasi...oh sorry ... I mean favorite Kohinoor of Agra...
Then Mirza and Jodha looked at each other and smile humorous...
Jalal with annoyed voice responded... you are right Jodha begum... I have not seen any one beautiful like her... bala ki khubsurti hai benzir mai...
Jodha looked at him with irritation and said... Ha kyu nahi... abhi bhi der nahi hui... aapki khbsurat Kohinoor ko jail me kyu rakha hi... usko to apke dil me hona chahiye...
Jalal with smirk on his face with teasing tone... Mirza tume kuch yaha par Jalne ki boo aa rahi hai...
Mirza; Bhai jaan aapki halat to dekhiye, aur aapki aakhe to puri ro ro ke sojan aa gayi hai... Aaj hamre bhai jaan shyad pehli baar kisi begum ke liye roye hai...
Jodha with little angry teasing sound... Nahi nahi Dever Ji... Shenshah unki khoobsurat Kohinoor ki yaado me roye hai...Unki khaas dasi... aur hone wali begum ne Shenshah se itni bewfai ki...
Jalal with angry tone... Bahot ho gaya Jodha begum, Ab hame kuch nahi soona hai us zehrili doshisha ke bare me... aur uski apne sath mawaaznaa (compare) kar ke apni bai izzati kar rahi hai aap...
Mirza with laugh; Bhai Jaan, ek baat bataiye... aap aur bhabhi jaan kbhi pyaar se baat kyu nahi karte... hamesa ek dusre se larahee karte ho...
Jodha with irrited look deverji aapke bhai jaan pyaar ki bhasha (language) samaj me hi nahi aati... unke sabdkhosh (dictionary) me pyaar, dil jesi koi chij hi nahi hai...
Jalal looked at Jodha with confuse emotions and said Jodha begum bahot jald aapko pata chal jaayega koun pyaar aur dil se darta hai... Jodha blushed a little
Dasi came again requested for Mansingh to come inside... Jalal with smile send him in... Jodha's face suddenly smile with spark... Mansingh ran inside to see his bua sa... Jodha couldn't hold herself... she got up from bed herself to hug Mansingh... both of them had tears rolling in their eyes... Mansingh with tears...bua sa hame maaf kar dijye... hum aapki rakhsha na kar paye... Jodha nahi Mansingh ...tum vijayi ho ke vapas aaye ho...tumne apna kartvay nibhaya hai... usme mafi magne gi koi avashykta nahi hai... aur jab tak shenshah hamare saath hai ...hume kuch nahi ho sakta... Jodha looked at Jalal with love... Jalal had proud on his face and smirk back at her...
Jalal with teasing tone told Mirza... Pata nahi sab begum ko kya ho jata hai jab bhi vo apne mayke valo se milti hai jazbaati ho jaati hai... Kash hame bhi dekh ke aese gale mil jaati...he looked at Jodha with naughty smirk... Blush came on Jodha's face... she went back to bed...
Mirza with Smile... Bhai Jaan aap phirse suru ho gay... aap bhabhi jaan ko pareshan mat kijye...
Jalal with proud said; I am so proud of both you... I had full confidence on you both will win the war... I want to announce something very important in DWK tomorrow... Jodha I want you be their if it's possible... then Jalal added; abhi Jodha begum ko aaram ki sakt jarurat hai... aap abhi rukshat ligye... aur hum ab aapse kal diwane khaas me milenge...
They both left with aadab and pranam... Again Jalal and Jodha both were alone in the room... Jodha was feeling much better... She requested Jalal to call Moti...Jalal asked her can I help you with something... She got up to drink water and said nahi shenshah, Kananh ki Aarti ka samay ho gya hai...aur Aarti se pehle sanan karna aavshyak hai...
Jalal with little anger... Ek din koi aur Aarti karega to nahi chalega... abhi aap bahut kamzor hai... aapko aaram ki zaroorut hai...
Jodha with sad face... Shenshah pata hai aapko hamari har baat se apko taklif hai... Hum abhi pooja karenge... Hum hi Moti ko bulate hai... Jodha walked towards door but due to her weakness she lost her balance almost fall but Jalal hold her before she falls... Jalal is holding her from her waist and her hand is on his jama... holding it tight... Jalal looked at her... Aap itni ziddi kyu hai... kabhi to hamri baat sun lijye... Jalal carried her in his arm and put back on bed carefully... His closeness and care was making Jodha shy and happy at the same time... they both were looking at each other with love...
Jalal with smirk said begum sahiba ab aap aaram farmaiye... hum abhi naha (bath) ke vapas aake Kanah ki aarti aur diya karenge. He walks towards door and stopped and turned back to see Jodha's expression... Jodha felt music in her ears...in surprise she opened her eyes and both of them looked at each other with immense adoration...
Few minute later Mahamanga went to Jodha's room... and saw Jodha was sleeping peacefully with smile on her face...seeing her peaceful...her evil and cruel anger came in her eyes... she felt for a second... kill her... She walked out of her room with extreme hatred.
Maham with hatred came to her room... She is angry with jodha's survival ... Why always... Why her... I cannot forgive her... because of her Adham was in Jail... since she came in this palace...I have seen many defeat by her... I can't see that Rajvanshi as a begam e Hindustan... ab to sara harem uske gungan ga raha hai... Resam comes to room playing with her choti... seeing Maham face... her eyes widen... vajire alliya aap thik hai... Maham screamed back at her tumhe kya lagta hi bevkuf... hum kyu itna gussa hai... Resham with scary face... Jodha begum... Maham with fury... I will not spare her at any cost... kab tak bachegi vo napak rajvanshi... ab to vo sabki nazro me uth gayi hai... Hum ab uske nahi bakshenge... Kya nahi kiya hamne... par har baar vo bach niklti hai...
After few hours, Jalal is coming back to Jodha's room for prayer... Moti was standing outside of the Jodha's door and she saw Jalal coming towards Jodha's room...she recall her anger towards him... With respect she said Shenshah... Jalal stopped their looked at moti...
Moti with eyes down...Shenshah, Hum aapse apni galti ke liye maafi magnate hai... apni bhavukta me bahut jyada bol gaye... hum bahut sharminda hai... Us vakat hamre samne sirf Jodha begum ki zindgi thi... Hum aur kuch soch nahi paaye.
Jalal with little respect and smile on his face; Hum aapke shukar guzar hai ki aap Jodha begum ki sacchi dost aur vafadar hai... Jodha begum ke bure se bure vakat me aapne un ke aasoo poche hai... Appki izaat hamari nazro me aur zyada badh gayi hai... hame tumhari dalyari pe fakra hai... Aaj se tum is saltanat Ki bharosa patra ban gayi ho... He smiled at her..Then Jalal walked inside Jodha's room...
Jodha already took shower and was preparing for Kanah's Pooja... Jalal smirk and said...apse jyada koi ziddi begum nahi hai hamari... Jodha smiled back at him and said...Shenshah, aesi baat nahi hai... hum bhi kanah ke dhanyavaad karna tha... Kanah ne hamre bharose ko tutne nahi diya... Apko surkshit rakha hai... Jalal sit next to Jodha for pooja and Aarti... Jodha prepare Aarti... they both looked at eachother and strated pooja... after pooja Jodha started Aarti... entire palace was filled with her melodious voice... bhajan... Jalal was looking at her... how divine she looked while praying and singing...
After Bhajan Jodha gave him Prasad and Aarti... Jalal looked at her and recall the moment when she taught him how to take Aarti ... Jalal took Aarti with content feeling... He saw Sindoor in Aarti thal...and remembered how he filled her maang at the time of their wedding... and knew how important is Sindoor in hindu women... Jalal took pinch of Sindoor and looked at her with intense feeling of you are mine... they both looking deep in each other's eyes then he filled her maang... with his sudden action... Jodha was shocked... surprised and felt complete... She bends down to touch his feet and to take blessing from him... her eyes were filled with tears and bliss. Jalal put his hand on her head and this was first time he felt she is a part of him... There was silence between them but was so contently... He wiped Jodha's tears and feed Prasad in her mouth... Jodha is looking at him without a blink...
After a minute of silence Jodha with low tone; aapki anumati ho to hum aapke sath darga jana chahenge... Jalal with smile said move his face in yes... they both are looking at each other with deep love...
After prayer Jodha is talking to Moti with cheerful feeling... All the women came to see Jodha including Maham and Rukaiya... They all thanked her for saving Jalal's life and praised her for her bravery... but Jodha was waiting for evening... Jodha wanted to go to Dargah with Jalal... Her mind and heart was filled with his thought... everyone is talking to her but she seemed so lost...
Hamida notice blush on Jodha's face after many days... but she is still worried for Jalal... Actually no one knew in harem that Jodha has forgiven Jalal... Every one left other than Hamida... With love she told Jodha... Hum aapse kuch gufte gu karna chahte hai... Jodha with respect; Ji ammi Jaan... Hamida started; Jodha beta hum jante hai aap aur Jalal ke bich me pichle kahi mahino se khuch bhi thik nahi... beshak aapko pura hakk hai unse naraz hone ka... Unho ne aapse ki beizzati ki... aapse berukhi rakhi... par hamne aaj tak Jalal ko kisi bhi begum ke liye yaha tak ki Rukaiya begum ke liye itna pareshan nahi dekha... Unke aasoo aur pareshani dekh ke hum yakinnan ye keh sakte hai wo aapko bohot pansand karte hai... shayad apko chahne lage hai... Humne Jalal ke chere pe kahi mahino so khushi nahi dekhi... Ab hum shookoon dekhna chahte hai...Hum aapko yahi samjana chahte hai... Jalal aapke shohar hai... aur unko aapki jarurat hai... Shyad aapko is baat ka ilam na ho par vo itni begum hone ke bavjoot akele hai... Shenshah ka jivan bahut kathin hota hai...
Jodha with admiration for her concern...Ammi Jaan, Hum samaj sakte hai... Aap kya kehana chahti ho...Hume Shenshah se koi shikayat nahi hai... humne apne dil se unhe maaf kar diya hai... Aaj hum ne ek sath Krishan bhagwan ki Aarti aur pooja ki hai... Aur aaj saam ko hum unke sath dargah jane vale hai...
Hamida kissed on Jodha's forehead and with happiness she said Shbhal Allah... Jodha begum tumne hamara dil khush kar diya...
Jodha was waiting for evening eagerly... She was blushing constantly ... and lost in Jalal's thought... She wanted to dress for Jalal today... She wanted to look her best... still her mind filled with thought again... Jalal doesn't think I am beautiful... He still thinks about Benzir... little jealousy and distress came on her face...
She picked entire parrot green outfit... left her long silky but little wavy and shiny hair open... She dressed up with shoal sringar... Moti and Reva were teasing her constantly... but Jodha was enjoying their tease today... she wanted hear again again about Jalal... She asked Moti so many time same questions about how Jalal was concern and how he did prayer, how he called Awwam... She was blushing listening to that conversation again and again... it was almost evening Jodha's heart is beating... She can't wait to see him...
Finally she heard Jalal's arrival announcement... her entire body tremble... suddenly... she started for feel nervous... Jalal walks in the room and saw Jodha's sparking eyes with glowing face... Her happiness was showing on her face... Her pale cheeks suddenly filled with pink blush... She looked miraculous attractive in entire parrot green dress... Jalal couldn't take his eyes from her... He said in murmur... Subhan Allah... aaj aapko dekh ke chand bhi shrma jayega... Jalal didn't realize when his thought came out and turn in to words... Jodha heard his unclear words... The way Jalal was gazing at her she felt shy...
Finally Jalal with intense look said... Chale Jodha begum... She looked at him with smile... They both reach at dargah... Jodha did prayer with Jalal both of them said thank u for saving each other's life... They both were feeling peace inside... After prayer Jalal asked Jodha ... if she wants to join him for a walk in garden... She responds with her eyes expression yes... Again there is silence between them... Again their eyes are stealing glance from each other secretly... Jalal stared to break silence; How are you feeling... Jodha responded; never felt better than this with smile... Jalal smiled at her with her witty answer...
Jodha asked him with little whisper in a low tone... Shenshah, you really think Benzir is most beautiful women in the world...
Jalal with amusing smirk... Yes Jodha begum ... Benzir is very beautiful women... Jodha got upset thinking Jalal doesn't think she is beautiful... Jalal smirk and enjoyed seeing jealousy on Jodha's face... Her face suddenly turns miserable... with sad expression...
Jalal couldn't see her sad face so with smile he stopped it and said Jodha begum... Jodha stopped and turn to hear him out... I have never seen any beautiful women in my life like you... your beauty is beyond any words, any imagination ...that is true, I have so many beautiful women in my harem including Benzir but none of them can stand near you, do you know why, your beauty is reflected in your soul...you are innocent, pure, bravery, truthful and divine... and you have no fear of saying truth... he said everything in one word...
Jodha dazed...stunned...shocked...little by little by her expression turn in to blushing...shy...with pleasant smile on her face... her heart stop beating... her happiness was beyond any word... pleasant smile came on her face...she couldn't see in his eyes anymore...she turn back to hide her own emotion... Jalal walked towards her... Never saw her this much happy and shy Jodha... He is staring at her and their walk continues... he slowly hold her hand while walking... Jodha in response tighten grip of his hand... They both were feeling complete... there was no necessary to for words... both of them were hearing music of love...their hearts were dancing with this astounding feeling... he sat under the tree... Jodha sat next to him... Sun was setting down... birds were chirping coming back to loved one... bright shining golden sky turn in to light gray shading peace on atmosphere... They both are lost in nature of beauty ... Their smile were giving farewell to sun and welcome to moon... they both were feeling content and complete with each other...
Jalal asked Jodha can you please sing something... Jodha's also wanted to sign but was feeling shy... but his request she smiled at him and started with melodious voice...
Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Tumhein dekh ke to lagta hai aise
Bahaaron ka mausam aaya ho jaise
Dikhayi na deti andheron mein jyoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Hamein jo tumhara sahara na milta
Bhanwar mein hi rehte kinara na milta
Kinare pe bhi to leher aa duboti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Tumhein kya bataaun ke tum mere kya ho
Meri zindagi ka tum hi aasra ho
Main aasha ki ladiyan, na reh reh piroti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Har ik gham tumhara sahenge khushi se
Karenge na shikwa kabhi bhi kisi se
Jahan mujh pe hasta, khushi mujhpe roti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Hamein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
Jalal with close eyes and content feeling with deep peace on his face he is listening to every word of her songs...
