PROLOGUE

To love someone is more difficult than to hate someone.it overwhelms you,satiates you,transforms you but at the end leaves you vulnerable.the scars it leaves can never be healed by any amount of time.

'I am dying ,ain't I'she said with great effort.

She breathed heavily,beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

He did not look at her.he did not have the strength to see her that way.although she was in pain:he felt it more than her.

A tear wept down his eye.he feigned a laugh and said"it is just some normal problem"

He was trying to convince himself.he knew that there was nothing that could be done but he still could not give up.

"You did everything for me"she said .realising what he was going through.her condition was going worse

She could not let him be that way .she loved him immensely

"I do not want to loose you"he said painfully.

"You wouldn't have to"she assured him

"You are lying "he said unable to control his tears.

"Look at me please".her voice was dwindling .

"I won't"he said in a teary voice.

She pushed herself up with great strength and held his hand.her touch caused a tingle in his body.he could not refrain from looking at her.

He turned around and looked into her swollen red eyes.how miserable she looked.frail and weak.she had lost quite a lot of weight and her lips had turned purple.her collar bones were quite evident and her clothes gathered in loose folds around her body.

He did not wait any longer and kissed her lips,not wanting to let go.she smiled like someone who had attained everything she desired and said"I love you"

"I love you" he replied .

He did not hear her heartbeat,thereafter .

"Shehanshah please forgive me.i did not do it deliberately.hard times have prevailed upon me and I have nothing to give you.please exempt me from paying the tax this time"the poor man kneeled down in front of the heartless emperor and begged him for mercy.

"I am no god or saint to forgive you.i am a king and my responsibility is to run my kingdom.how do you expect a king to behave in such a scenario?exempting you from paying the tax would mar my image.after all ,I am not permitted to be biased.excusing you today would encourage others to come forth with such pleas and I cannot afford that.i do not care from where you get the money and what you have to do in order to get it.all I care for is that you owe me my tax."he barked at the poor lad

"Shehanshah please understand me.i can barely make the ends meet.my family is starving.i do not have money to buy food or any other commodity for them.i have reached an abyss in my life.please help me"he joined his hands in front of the ruthless brute.

"I have heard enough from you.if you think that your sad picture will melt me down,then,let me tell you that it won't happen.all I can do for you is to give you a weeks time.if by the end of next week you pay your rent,good enough otherwise be prepared to empty your land."he said in a firm tone

"But shehanshah"

Jalal was no longer interested in listening to the man's miserable life.his decision was constant.he stood up from his seat and made a move saying" diwaan-e-aam barkhast"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jodha was sitting under the perennial shadow of a palm tree,with a piece of parchment in one hand,and a piece of charcoal in another.

Completely engrossed in sketching out a pigeon sitting on the far-end of a branch of the tree,she did not notice the effect of the breeze on her hair.

Her hair,which had been initially ,tied into a braid and slicked to one side of her head,had come undone,giving her a dishevelled appearance.

But she could not careless.this was what she loved.this was her life.carving out emotions on paper was her love.a desire to draw,a desire to live in her drawings was what she wanted.it was so close to her heart.her eyes were as sharp as that of an eagle when it came to her drawing.she never missed the slightest of details when she ran her charcoal over the paper.it was her passion.her drug and the only source of meaning to her life.

Born as the only daughter of raja Bharmal and rani mainavati,jodha grew up in the quintessential environment.to say that she was pampered would be an understatement.her life was devoid of nothing.whatever she wanted would be right in front of her even before she could ask for it.she was the life of everyone in the kingdom.she had never been treated like a girl,apart from the girly gifts she was showered with every now and then.never refused for anything,jodha,had no idea of the ugly lives people led.her eyes shimmered with a sense of pride,a sense of royalty and a sense of elitism.but all this was often mistaken as her arrogance.she was not at all arrogant.absolutely pure at heart and extremely affectionate towards all fellow beings,jodha was simply unaware of the reality.she was as soft as a flower,as fragile as a butterfly.

Jodha smiled looking at finished piece in front of her eyes.a sense of satisfaction glinted through her almond shaped eyes,making them look almost unreal.

She stood up from under the tree and made way towards her room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why do you look so worried?what happened in the court?"rani mainavati asked her husband with a worried expression.

"Mainavati I am afraid to say that we must brace ourselves for a war"he said disappointedly

"But you said that the war can be avoided"she said frantically

"I thought so but they are unwilling to mend their ways.the abductions have been on an increase.it cannot be ignored now"he said in a disheartened to be

"How can he do so in spite of being a rajvanshi?'she said ,absolutely disgusted

"Power and pleasure have driven him crazy.he has no morals it seems."he replied

"Will our army be able to fight him?"she asked him with uncertainty

"We have to try.we can't give up.i have to protect my kingdom"he's suddenly firmly

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jodha walked to her room with the sketch in her hand.she moved towards a box kept in one corner of the room and opened it up.

She dextrously put the paper inside the box without spoiling the rest of them and shut it close .she kept the box back in its place and walked towards kanha jis murti.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The entire amer was informed about the war against raja harindr,the indocile rajvanshi,who had been abducting women for his sinful pleasures.
