Chapter 5

Recap: Jalal ...Ha kaho Radha... Radha with little annoying tone: Kya aapko nahi lagta aap ek mamuli dasi se kuch jayada najdiki badha rahe hai... Yeh aapke audhe ko shobha nahi deta...

Jalal with little smile on his face: Kyu Radha, Jallad ko insaan banne ka koi hakk nahi...

Radha with little angry tone: Ha nahi hai... Kayi baar kayi gunah aise hote hai... jinki koi mafi nahi hoti... Jallad ne jo kiya hai pari ke sath... vo Aapki kahani vali Pari maaf kar sakti hai... Par Radha ki Pari kabhi us Jallad ko maaf nahi karegi...She swiftly got up and said shubh ratri Shenshah... he watched her walking from there angrily... Her anger was showing in her rapid walk and in her eyes... but her words were still sober.

Chapter 5

Jalal's confused mind and inner thoughts

Ruthless Shenshah was awestruck with his own emotions... Very first time his eyes gleamed for someone else's pain... Cool waves of air... Calmness of glorious moon ... Complete silence but He was feeling restless... He never felt this pinch in his heart... His heart was feeling numb and sore... Her words had impacted him to his core... Her confession of hating Mughals and him was giving him tremor instead of anger. His mind filled with many questions... Is this Radha's own story...? Is Radha herself the Pari of her story? Why she couldn't finish the end of the story? Why she cried for the first time in her life? What is so painful in that story which is bothering her to this extreme?

Yeh hume kya ho raha hai... Kyu yeh ladki humare zehen me bas gayi hai... Jabse mehel me aai hai tabse vo kabhi hume sukun deti hai aur kabhi humara sukun chin leti hai... Hume kyu mehsoos hota hai jaise ke hum uske samne kamjor ho jate hai... Humari itni sari begumon me se kisi ki itni himmat nahi ke humari ankho me dekh ke bat kar sake...aur yeh ladki, na hi is par humara koi prabhav padta hai aur na hi ise humara koi khauff hai... Vo bekhauff hoke jo uske dil me hota hai vo bol deti hai... Kabhi uski ankho me bepanaha nafrat hoti hai aur kabhi uski ankho me ajib sa suna pan... Kabhi vo baadal ki tarah khilkhilati hai... aur kabhi vo khobsurat jheel ki tarah qatai (shant)... Kabhi uski soch me vo takmil (maturity) ... Kabhi vo shararti jharne si chanchal lagti hai... to kabhi vo jungle ki sherni to kabhi masum pariyo ki shehjadi... Kabhi uski zubaan pe shehed to kabhi zeher...

Shehad me lipte hue uske labz humare zehen me katar ki tarah chubte hai... Radha tum din babdin, har din ek uljhi hui paheli banti ja rahi ho...

Again in the dark night, the full glorious innocent moon was laughing and History was ready to be written with golden ink... Jalalludin Mohammad ... Cruel... Heartless... Ruthless... Arrogant... Shenshah's Heart was fluttering like a butterfly for the first time in the history ... His first step toward Akbar was taken... History was sending soothing waves of cold shiver, to acknowledge beginning of biggest change of the 16th century... Stars were blinking with extra shine... moon was spreading glory of the peace in entire Hindustan to welcome divine soul of Akbar the great...

A restless shenshah was walking in the big balcony back and forth rapidly... His mind and heart both were haunting him with chain of thoughts and questions... Her innocent tearful eyes gave throbbing strikes on his heart. Her sharp words, her ignorance, and her rejection little by little adding fire with anger in him... the way she bluntly questioned him, why he is trying to come this much close to a common Dasi... and her advice... it is not good for Shenshah's prestige... In other words she was telling him to stay away from her... He was confused with his own emotions... For the first time his dead heart started to murmur with little beats... Which was in fear of beating for the first time... Her pain was unbearable for him and his own attraction towards her was annoying him. She was pounding on his ego with her sober and sharp words... He decided that he will not bend to a bandi... he will make her realize she is a mamoli bandi not a princess...the more he thought about her ... the more his anger increased... She was defeating his pride... He was fighting against his own desire... her rejection was crushing his pride little by little... He was feeling helpless and restless in front his own heart... No matter how much he tried but as soon as he sees her he becomes helpless... her tears were still giving him pain...

Suddenly it occurs to him that it was middle of the night, he had been standing there and watching moon for more than three hours... Jalal with shock... walked back to the chamber ... he stopped at the door seeing her glorious face in divine moonlight... While sleeping, she looked calm like a soft and sweet sound of Ghazal... His restlessness and anger disappeared in a flick... He gazed at the celestial beauty till night took over him in his embrace and took him to dreamland...

Early morning...

Radha woke up early, as per her daily routine and smirk again today seeing Jalal sleeping like a little child... She finished pooja quickly and with regret apologised to Krishna for not completing puja... Her face was showing weakness of fasting...

She went to kitchen to arrange food for Rahim's breakfast... Reva was also waiting for food... Both of them sat on the bench...

Reva with anxious look asked Radha... Is everything fine? Why you look little feeble? She checks up on her forehead if she has fever...

Radha with cheerful tone: Nahi hum puri tarah se swasth hai... Par bas vo humara upvas hai iss liye thodi thakaan mehsoos ho rahi hai...

Reva with surprising tone: Upvas kyu Radha? Konsa vrat kar rahi ho...

Radha just smirk and said... Are Jane de na...kuch khas nahi bas aese hi upvas rakha hai... Aur bata kya chal raha hai mehel me...

Reva with exciting tone: Radha... tu nayi hai na iss liye shayad tuje pata nahi hoga... Aaj se tin char dino me bahot bada meena bazaar lagne vala hai...

Radha with amusing tone: Meena Bazar vo kesa bazaar hai...

Reva..are tuje to khuch bhi pata nahi... Yeh bazaar saal me do baar lagta hai... Isme bahot maza aata hai... bahot sari pratiyogitaye hoti hai... Aur usme na tin group hote hai... 1. To Khaas begum ka... jisme kariban 35 begum hissa leti hai... 2. Jo mamuli begum (vese to unhe begum nahi keh sakte par shenshah jinke sath ek raat bitate hai unhe mamooli begum ka darza milta hai... aur jisme cum se cum 500 se bhi jyada hoti hai... aur 3. Tisra group yani humara ... mamooli dasi aur khaas dasi ka.. jisme 3500 se bhi adhik matra me dasiya bhag leti hai... Aur hamare group ke vijeta aage mamuli begum ke sath pratiyogita me hissa lete hai... Aur usse aage to kabhi aesa hua hi nahi ki koi dasi khaas begum se mukabla kar paye... vaha tak pahuchna aasan nahi hai... Shenshah ki harek begum bahot nipurn aur honhar hai... humara unse koi mukabala nahi...

Radha asked her ... to iss me Rukaiya begum bhi hissa leti hai...

Reva with exciting tone: Ha har saal wo hissa leti hai aur wohi jitti hai...

Use koi bhi shatranj, ghud swari aur Tirandaji me hara nahi sakta... Har saal wohi jit ti aa rahi hai...

Radha with regretting face talking to herself... Kaash hume mehel chod ke jana nahi hota varna, uss badd dimag, gamandi, chudail Rukaiya ko hum acche se sabak sikhate... us ko to hum sari pratiyogitaon me hara kar usse badla lete... Hum se usne farsh saaf karvaya tha... to hum bhi usko dikha dete ki hum koun hai...

Reva with loud tone... Radha Kaha kho gayi tum...

Radha with smirk ... Kuch nahi... Aur batao kya hota hai Meena Bazaar me...

Reva with exciting tone...Par aanad ki baat yeh hai... ki hum hindu dasiyon ko 10 kheme milte hai... vaha par hum alag alag chize bana ke bech sakte hai... Aur jo bhi munafa hota hai hum sab hindu dasiyan aapas me baat lete hai... Vese aesa kabhi hua nahi ki Shenshah ne hindu dasiyon ke kheme se kuch kharida ho... Par ha pichle saal unhone kisi mughal dasi ke kheme ka pura saman kharid liya tha... Agar iss bar aesa hua to me jatra ka kar chuka ke vrindavan jaungi...

Aur pata hai sirf ek hi khema jeet ta hai iss pratiyogita mai... Jis kheme ki sabse adhik aamdani hui ho ... Shenshah une apne hatho se puruskar dete hai... Aur ek din ke liye jo bhi jeetta hai us ke sath shenshah pura din vyatit karte hai... Vese to pichle paach saal se Rukaiya begum hi jit ti aai hai... Vo ajib nayabi chize shenshah ko pesh karti hai aur uski moohmangi kimat leti hai...

Hum to har saal iss din ka intzaar karte hai... yeh din koi mele se cum nahi hota...

Radha : Reva, Ek baat puche... Shenshah ke hath se purashkar milna koi badi baat nahi hai... Aur unke sath din bitane se kya ho gaya... Pata nahi yaha ki aurate shenshah ke piche diwani kyu hai...

Reva with smirk... Radha sach me hume bahot baar lagta hai tu koi bade se rajay ki raj kunwari hai... Jo duniya bhar ke nakhre karti hai... Pata hai jab Shehnsha ne tujhe pehli baar dekha tha... Hum to sab dung hi reh gaye the... Shenshah ko humne kabhi aese kisi begum ko bhi dekhte hue nahi dekha... Tum jis tarah se bol rahi thi sach kahu to muje to laga tha tu apni jaan se hath dho bethegi... Par teri sacchai shenshah ko bha gayi lagta hai... varna kisi aurat ka ghoonghat vo iss tarah kabhi na uthate... aur uske baad me vo Mariam makhani ke samne tumhare chehre me jis tarah kho gaye the hume to laga wo tumhe apni begum bana lenge...

Radha with annoying tone: Reva vo hume unki begum banana chahe to bhi hum kabhi unse shadi nahi karna chahenge... Pehle to vo ek Mughal hai... aur dusra unki itni sari begum hai... Aur upar se woh itne sangdeel... nirdai aur ahankari... Hum aese purush se kabhi vivah nahi kar sakte...

Reva with surprising look: Sach me Radha... tu pagal hai... Tuje shayad pata nahi... Shenshah ke piche pure harem ki aurate katar laga ke khadi rehti hai... Vo kya kya nahi karti taki shenshah unhe ek nazar dekh le... mene apni ankho se dekha hai... begume juth muth girti hai shenshah ke samne... taki shenshah unhe ek baar sahara de... Tune kabhi begum ko jhagdte hue nahi dekha shenshah ke liye... vo sab marti hai unke sath vakt bitane ko aur tu unko shadi ke layak tak nahi samajhti... sach me.. tu badi ajib hai...

Radha: isme ajib kya hai...hume vo pasand nahi hai to nahi hai...

Reva with giggle... Acha Radha agar shenshah tumhe apni khaas begum ka darza de to bhi tu inkar kar degi...

Radha with irritating look said... Ha to usme kya badi baat hai... baat to vohi hui na... hume unko itni sari auraton se batna padega...

Kitchen worker came out with food for Rahim...

Radha with exciting tone: Reva sach me Meena bazar bahot dilchasp lagta hai... Hum tumhe shaam ko milenge... Rahim shayad nind se uth gaya hoga...

Radha came back to chamber and Saw Jalal still sleeping and he is in deep sleep... Rahim was awake sitting on sofa... She quickly gave him bath and fed him food quietly and sent him for further study... She had only about three hours to finish her work... She wanted to send letter to Asharam... She quietly went back to changing room and pulled all the things she needed... She came out and started dusting the chamber... She saw Jalal was now awake and gazing at her...

He got up from bed while gazing at her... he could see her weakness on her face but her energy was the same... quickly she started to clean the chamber... He wanted to ask her how she is feeling but he controlled himself and got annoyed at himself for thinking about asking her... Her chum chum sound of kamar bandh was attracting him towards her like a magnet... Without a blink he was staring at her divine beauty... which made her uncomfortable...and she moved to clean the corner side so Jalal can't see her... Jalal realized it, again it was his defeat... He felt angry again at himself for looking at her... In his frustration he decided show her his power and her real place... With his authority tone he called Radha

Radha with sobre tone: Ji Shenshah,

Jalal with ordering tone: Radha, I want you prepare my bath today...

Radha gave him irritating look... and said... Kya...

Jalal with angry gaze repeated in loud sound... I want you prepare bath for me...

Radha with low tone: Ji Shenshah, Hum abhi jake aapki khaas dasi ko bulate hai jo aapko hamam me madad karegi...

Jalal with sarcasm... Kyu Radha tumhare hatho me mehndi lagi hai..

Kya tum humare liye humam taiyar nahi kar sakti...

Radha's face gleamed with annoyance but with respectful sharp tone she said to Jalal looking straight in his eyes, "Aap to sarva sakti maan Shenshah E hind hai"... "Aur hum ek mamooli bandi"... hum itni badi himakat kose kar sakte hai... hum jante hai humari aukat... Agar humne aapke hukum ki na farmani ki to ho sakta aap hume zinda jala de... hume laga shayad aap ko apni khaas bandi ki avashyakta ho sakti hai...

hume vajire aliya maha manga ji ne pehle hi din aapki bandi ka karya karne ke liye chuna tha aur hume yeh bhi bataya tha ki hume yeh karya karne se bahot jyada mehntana (salary) aur achha rehne ka kamra milega... par hum kisi paraye purush ki seva nahi karna chahte the... hum ne saaf saaf pehle hi din inkar kar diya tha... par fir bhi aap Shenshah hai... hum aapko inkaar nahi kar sakte... then she murmur ...

kaash humne salima begum ko vachan dene ki galti na ki hoti...

Radha annoyed him more with her answer ...

Jalal with anger questioned her... Radha, ek baat batao... tumhe sach me hamara khauf nahi hai? (he sounded extremely annoyed) then with bitter look and heavy tone he said... Radha, Tumari yeh mithi churri si tej zabaan kisi din tumhe mushkil me dal sakti hai.. Aur tumne sahi kaha... Agar tumne humare hukum ki nafarmani ki to saza ke liye taiyar rehna... Aur hum phirse tumhari bad jubani ko maaf nahi karenge...

Radha with irritating tone answered him back without any fear: Shenshah hume sirf ishwar se darte hai... Hume kisi insaan ka khauf nahi hai... aap ka bhi nahi... hume darr sirf tabhi lagta hai jab hum se koi galti hoti hai... ya fir hamare karan kisi ko taklif hoti hai... Aur ha hum apke sevak hai to hum yeh karya karne se inkaar nahi karenge... vese bhi hum yaha aur tin din ke liye hai... to aapki bhi seva kar lenge...

Radha finally gave him annoying gaze but her face was showing her helplessness... with heavy heart she said... pranam and walked out...towards Hamam khana to prepare bath for Jalal...

Jalal again lost in her spiky words... her words echoed again in his ears... Aur tin din... Suddenly he felt ache in his heart...

Radha had never prepared hamam even for herself, in the past... She was all lost and annoyed ... She walked in Jalal's Hamam while stamping her feet... Seeing his gigantic imperial bathroom, her mouth opened widely in bliss... huge round tub in the middle... entire room smelled with flowers scent... Many candles in different shapes were surrounded in entire hamam... Hamam walls were filled with sensual paintings... many beautiful sculptures in it, they were more sensual than the paintings... even looking at those sculptures she blushed a little... there were many indoor plants with beautiful flowers on it... The floor was made by white marble which was giving soothing and peaceful feelings... open sun roof was making hamam more beautiful ... classical sound of music was coming from next room ... there were bunch of bottles of oils and body wash on the corner... There were few benches for massage... some sitting arrangement... even a small bed in the corner... Radha was amused to see this beautiful bathroom... she could tell Jalal spends time in hamam with many begums...

One of Jalal's bandi came and asked Radha what she is doing in Shenshah's Hamam khana ... Radha informed her that Shenshah has instructed her to prepare bath for him... and with request she asked Bandi... I don't know anything... Can you please tell me what I need to do...

Bandi looked at her with confusing look... Then she said... first make sure water temperature since shenshah doesn't like cold water... you probably need to add at least 10 big container of hot water in this tub... then you need to bring fresh roses from the garden and throw rose petals it in the water... don't forget to add rose water... then prepare sandal wood lep for him... here are some oil you will have to massage him before he take shower... also make lep from this jadi butti... he likes these leps while taking bath... She took her to his clothes room... which was attached to hamam... huge closet of royal clothes... Then she showed all jewelries to Radha.

She was completely lost in this ravishing richness... She is a princess of Amer but their life style is very simple comparative to Jalal... None of her brothers or even her father has this ravishing taste... In every little thing she could feel artistic touch... She could tell Jalal has a deep knowledge of arts and he has amazing taste in clothes and designs... She was completely mesmerized...

After a few seconds, Radha felt traumatized hearing all the things for preparation... and for hot water she needed to go all way to the kitchen... and at least 10 rounds in this hot weather...

She requested that bandi for help... but with hesitation she denied because she was scared of Shenshah... All of them knew Jalal's temper... for not following his order means death penalty...

that bandi with regret said in very low tone, I will collect flower for you but secretly... With anxious look she added... Shenshah ordered you to prepare for his bath alone, I am surprised usually he has about ten bandi to help... and it's almost time for his diwan... you need to work fast... With regret and apologetic tone she said I am so sorry, I can't help you much.

While walking towards kitchen to get water, Her mind started to think about sudden change in Jalal's behavior... suddenly he is getting annoyed at her and treating like bandi... in the night he was concerned for her tears and suddenly this change which upset her a little... She walked swiftly to get hot water... she never carried these kinds of heavy containers of boiling hot water before... It was very heavy and hot... she struggled carrying the container... In rush extremely steaming hot boiling water dropped on her both hands... her hands got burned in a second and turned red... She shushed in pain with yell..."ahhh" and looked at her hands poorly... She swallows her tears and murmured in sting "how long will you test my patience Kanah, how long?"... With unbearable pain and cursing her destiny... she continued her work... she was almost running back and forth, finally after ten rounds water turned warm... She added rose petals and rose water in the tub... Her hands were burning severely but she took this as a challenge ...finally she prepared everything including his clothes and jewelry except leps... her hands were severely burning... but she ignored her pain and keep on pouring cold water on it to make her feel better...She started to work on her last task, making lep... as soon as she touched Jadi buttis to make lep she squeal in pain quietly, at the same time Jalal entered in the Hamam... He heard little screech but ignored it... He saw Radha's face all sweat and pale... Jalal gave her irate glare and asked her with his ruthless sound, Radha is everything ready...

She said with irritating sound... Ji Shenshah... yeh mamooli dasi aapki seva me upstit hai... Her hands were burning in pain but she continues finishing lep swiftly... She pushed herself to extreme... she didn't want to admit that she can't do this work... she never gives up no matter what happens and infront of Jalal...his enemy no way she is going bow down... with her proud look, She gave Jalal extremely hatred look, which annoyed Jalal more and increasing his anger... Jalal felt like slapping on her face for her attitude ...and murmur himself... what do you think of yourself Radha, you giving me this angry look...? I make you do everything which your heart never allowed to do...

He slept on the massage table on his stomach and commands her to give him massage... hearing massage... her heart pricked with sting... with fuming anger...without saying a word... She picked bottle of oil which was mixed with many strong herbs and jadi butti...

She walked next to him cursing her destiny... she felt like kill him that moment... She poured a little oil in her burned palm to massage his back... As soon the oli touched her hands it started to burn like fire with unbearable pain... She screamed again in agony... ahhh... Ahhh... this time her eyes got wet due to extreme hurt...

Jalal turned his face towards her hearing her scream... due to unbearable discomfort bottle dropped from her hand... Jalal's eyes caught her hand all red and burned... her hands were shivering in pain... seeing her in shaking soreness he swiftly got up with shock... he held both of her hands and saw her burned hands... He almost screamed "Radha yeh kese hua?"

Her face was in extreme pain... Oil worked like acid on her hands...

Jalal ran towards the tub to got jug of water and washed her hands with water... He screamed out loudest with roar... Koi hai ... Two bandi came in running ... With extremely worried voice he said: call Hakim sahibha immediately... One bandi left and other was still standing their... Seeing her still standing... Jalal with firey anger screamed again... tum mera mooh dekh rahi ho... Jao yaha se Hakim ko bulao...

Jalal completely forgot he was worrying about one mamuli bandi... his face was filled with her pain, with loud tone he asked... Radha yeh kese hua... tumhare hath kese jal gaye...

Radha's mind was more in pain than Jalal's questions... She was trying to make herself comfortable...

Jalal screamed louder... Radha... hume jawab do yeh kese hua...

She suddenly realized Jalal was getting panicked... She just looked at him without any answer...

Jalal's temper went out of the roof... he held her from both shoulders... and with shack and loudest scream with anger he repeated ... Radha tumhara hath kese jala...

Radha with low tone looking in his eyes: Shenshah, apke snan ke liye garam pani late vakat puri baldi ka garam pani humare hath par gir gaya... Humne kabhi aesa karya kiya nahi tha ...aur hamare paas samay cum hone ke karan humme jald bazi me kuch jyada hi pani bhar liya tha...

Jalal with shaking fury with loud tone ... tumhe kisne kaha tha pani lane ko... aur itna hone ke baad me bhi tum lep bana rahi ho... He started to blow her hands ... His eyes got wet... his throat was choking seeing her in this state...

Radha with jerk... took her hands from his hands... and with sarcasm tone she said Shenshah, aapke diwan E khas ka samay hone wala hai... Aur aap hi ke hukum par yeh tuchha dasi ne karya kiya hai... Chaliye hum aapko malish kar dete hai... hume maaf kar dijye humne aapka samay barbad kiya...

Her attitude was killing him inside... he closes his eyes for a second to control his anger...

Jalal with little calm tone: Radha, tum issi vakat yaha is gaddi pe beth jao... Hakim sahiba tumhara ilaj karde uske baad me tum chali jana... Jalal's heart was pounding seeing her in pain and that also because of him... his mind was only thinking of her wounds... he was cursing himself for his rude behavior towards her...

Radha with cold approach... dhanyvad shenshah, par hum khud hi chale jayenge hakim sahiba ke paas and she started to walk out of the bathroom...

Seeing her walking out... his anger increased... he pulled her swiftly towards him and pinned her to wall with angry glare...

He regrets again for his action... why he locked her in his grip... he was looking at in her wet eyes...

Radha was shocked with his action... She slowly said... Shenshah... hume jane dijye... aapne humara hath pakda hai... hume dard ho raha hai...

He swiftly unlocked his grip and said with firm tone... Radha sit here without a word... she is still standing stubbornly on the same place... Jalal completely lost control of his mind... He was so angry he hit his fist on wall so harshly... his finger started to bleed...

He was feeling extremely guilty for his rude behavior... He turned his face on the other side from her and with sad tone he said... Radha hume maaf kar do ... Hume tumhe yeh kam karne ke liye dabav nahi dalna chahiye tha... before he finishes his sentence... he heard a loud sound of falling... thhhud...

Jalal with extreme worry he yelled... Radha... he swiftly carried her in his arms and took her to his chamber and put her on the bed... His tears flooded out seeing her in this state... He was feeling so vulnerable... and helpless with his own emotions...

Bandi came in to inform Hakim Shahiba has arrived...

Jalal swiftly wiped his tears and called hakim inside...

Hakim came inside... she was surprised to see a unconscious bandi on Jalal's bed... and Jalal's extremely worried face... She examined her eyes, Nails and her pulse... She also notice burned hands of her...

Jalal with regretting tone told Hakim that her hands are burned due to hot water falling on them. May be because of extreme pain she got unconscious...

Hakim with apprehensive look said Shenshah... seems like she got unconscious because of weakness...

Shenshah... her pulse is little lower than normal... She needs to drink lots of water... Her skin has turned pale and dry... She is dehydrating due to lack of water in her body... Hakim mixed some herb and made lep out of it... and put it on her hand then Hakim continued, she will be in her conscious in few minutes... She needs to drink water immediately ... otherwise it can get worst and the malam I have put on will give her more pain for few hours but with this malam she will recover faster...

Hakim asked Jalal, if he wants her to stay ... but Jalal gave her permission to go...

It was time for Diwan and Jalal hadn't even taken shower or had breakfast or prayed... he was walking back and forth in the chamber waiting for her to come back to her conscious... his heart was beating extremely fast... He was getting annoyed and confused at himself... why I am so helpless in front of her... He looked at her innocent pale face... her eyes were pouring out tears in pain in unconscious stat... Her tears gave deep wound in Jalal's heart again... he craved to take her in embrace and give her comfort... he looked at her without a blink... his heart was taking over his mind...

She slowly opens her eyes and saw herself in a big royal room... She observes surrounding in the chamber... It didn't take her more than a second to realize that she was in Jalal's personal chamber and sleeping on his bed...

Jalal was standing by his big zarokha and shedding his uncontrollable tears... Jalal heard a movement... he turned to see if she is awake... Radha saw his tearful face... Jalal swiftly turned his face to hide his tears and wiped it...

She collected all her strength and swiftly got up from the bed... She again started to feel dizzy and lost her balance ... she was about to fall but Jalal held her in his arms with his strong grip... He carried her again and put her on the bed... and sat next to her... He softly caresses on her face and with soft loving and caring tone said Radha you need to rest.

The way Jalal was worried and looking at her with intense deep care... Radha felt little uncomfortable... With low tone she said... Shenshah I am feeling fine, please let me go... it is almost time to pick up Rahim from the school... I need to finish many more things before that... She tried to get up... but Jalal again pushed her back on the bed and said... Radha don't worry I will take care of Rahim today. You take rest; I will cancel Diwan e Khas and other meetings... Radha was touched and shocked for this much concern for her...

Jalal with requesting low tone... Radha, I am requesting you to drink water... don't be too stubborn... you lost your conscious because you are dehydrated...your body needs water otherwise it can get worse. Hakim Sahiba gave this malam for your hands. In few hours your burning will go away...

Radha saw a wound and blood on his hand... Unknowing she took his hand in hers with little worried tone... Shenshah... aapke hath me chot lag gayi hai... aur yeh khoon... she didn't realize she was showing concern for him...

Jalal felt content seeing her concern for him... She never showed care for him yet... The way she holds his hands and worried in her eyes brought smile on Jalal's face... and said... Radha tumhare dard ke samne mera yeh zakham mamuli hai...

Radha was shaken with his care and concern for her... She recalled how mad he was, when he saw her hands... She recalled how he was blowing air on her hands to give her comfort... How vulnerable his face was... He carried her to his chamber... IS HE THE SAME PERSON...? Why he is worrying for me so much?

She saw him smiling and she realized she was holding his hand... she stole gaze at him and left his hand abruptly...

Radha with low tone: Shenshah, hum aapse binanti karte hai... hume Rahim ke kamre me jane de. Hum yaha aapke kamre me nahi reh sakte... isse aapki aur humari dono ki badnami hogi... Shenshah aapko phirse yaad dila de ki hum ek mamuli dasi hai. hum nahi chahte ki aap humari vajah se kuch bhi badle... hum aap se binanti karte hai... aap DWK me jaye aur apne sare karyo ko purna kare... Aur hume yaha se jane ki anumati de.

Jalal was so lost and confuse with his own emotions... He didn't respond to her request... He is still sitting on the bed...

Radha with confusing tone: Shenshah hume sach me samaj me nahi aa raha... Aap kabhi humse bahot gussa hote hai... aur kabhi aap humse bahot... she stopped to find words to finish the sentence but she couldn't...

Jalal while gazing asked her lovingly ... aur kabhi aap humse bahot kya... Radha... They both looked at each other without a blink and lost in each other for about a minute... Jalal caressed on her face... She was lost in his soft caring touch... and she closed her eyes... he advanced and kissed her on her forehead then softly kissed on her eyes... then kiss on her cheeks... Suddenly she realized with jolt...

Radha woke up from her day dream and came back to her senses and said in haste... Shenshah, aap yeh kya kar rahe hai...

Jalal also realized he has again crossed his confines... he got up speedily from the bed and in low tone said... Radha, thik hai tum ja sakti ho...

Jalal called all of his bandis and Instruct two of the bandi to take Radha to Salima's chamber and stay with for entire day... since she is not feeling well and with firm tone he added... don't leave her alone. Also, send someone to pick up Rahim from the school and arrange for his food and send someone to prepare my bath immediately...

Radha got stunned seeing his planning and care for her... Rahim's food... and extra help for her... and the way he ordered sounded very commendable and impressive...

Radha's days passed with Rahim's with his trail of questions why when and what happened... how she got burned... Rahim also reacted the same way... he almost had tears in his eyes for her too... he got upset at her for why she needs to carry buckets of hot water... Radha recalled Jalal, how he was shaken seeing her in pain... His anger and care touched her to core...

Unknowingly she was getting use to with Jalal coming to Rahim and spending nights with them... Time passes... evening turns into night... Radha puts Rahim to sleep... She was feeling very weak and Rahim also sensed that Radha was not feeling well. So without any questions he went to sleep like a mature kid...

Jalal was feeling restless the entire day... he was so disturbed and shaken he couldn't concentrate on his work... Her face was haunting him ... Her painful scream echoed in his ear... her burnt hands... her anger... the way she looked at him... and the way she constantly reminded him his limits... He was surprise that after showing so much affection towards her... There was no impact on her... Why am I craving to be with her... No matter what he tries but in front her he always felt helpless... He recalled Beram khan's words... the day women starts to dance in your heart... you will lose your power... LOVE MAKES YOU WEAK... and Women are weakness for a warrior... Never let anyone come that close to your heart

Part 2

He wanted to distract his mind from Radha so he decided to visit his favorite dancer Zarina in the harem... To relieve his stress he usually visits her frequently and spends entire night with her... her seductive dance and intense singing always takes him to a different world...

Zarina gave him a lustful smirk and said... Shenshah, Iss kaneez ko bahot dino baat yaad kiya...

Jalal gave her lustful gaze and said... Zarina, Aaj hume tumhari mehfil me kho jana hai... Samjlo aaj tumhara imtihaan hai... Aaj tumne hume yaha rok liya to hum tumhe mooh maanga inaam denge...

Zarina with surprise gave him drink... With seductive look she said... hajoor aaj raat yeh bandi apko yaha se jane nahi degi... she gave him seductive glaze and she moved her finger on Jalal's face sensually... and with deep melodious sound she started to sing...

In aankhon ki masti ke, aah aah aah aah

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain

Mastaane hazaaron hain

In aankhon se vaabasta

In aankhon se vaabasta afsaane hazaaron hain

Afsaane hazaaron hain

Hearing her melodious sound... Jalal cheered a little... then he got lost in the words of the song... Zarina started to dance with her seductive look...

Every time she sang... In aankho ki... Jalal recalled Radha and her doe like deep intense innocent eyes... his mind again and again reminded him not to think about Radha... Jalal gulped second glass of drink in quickly in anger...

In aankhon ki masti ke

Ek tum hi nahin tanha, aah aah

Ek tum hi nahin tanha ulfat mein meri rusva

Ulfat mein meri rusva

He recalled Radha's face which was full of tears after telling Pari's story to Rahim... his heart started to pound again in sorrow...

Is shaher mein tum jaise

Is shaher mein tum jaise deewaane hazaaron hain

Deewaane hazaaron hain

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain

In aankhon ki masti ke, aah aah aah

Ek sirf humi mai ko, ek sirf humi

Ek sirf humi mai ko aankhon se pilaate hain

Zarina while dancing came near Jalal to seduce him... She gave him a kiss on his cheek...

Her kiss reminded him how he kissed Radha in the morning... He took another glass of drink and gulped it down his throat.

Zarina noticed Jalal's restlessness too... He was different today, her seductive beauty had no impact on him...

Aankhon se pilaate hain

Kehne ko to duniya mein

Kehne ko to duniya mein maikhaane hazaaron hain

Maikhaane hazaaron hain

Zarina came close to him... and kissed on his lips quickly... which really irritated him... He almost pushed her a little... His desire for Radha was at extreme... He never craved for any women like he did for Radha... He took another glass to drink and suddenly it occurred to him that she has not eaten or drank anything for days... In anger he threw the madira glass...

Seeing Jalal's condition Zarina got shocked... she had never seen Jalal this upset... Her voice filled with fear... she continued dancing and singing on slow rhythm...

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain

In aankhon ki masti ke

Is shamm-e-faroza ko, aah aah

Is shamm-e-faroza ko aandhi se darraate ho

Aandhi se darraate ho

Is shamm-e-faroza ke

Is shamm-e-faroza ke parvaane hazaaron hain

Parvaane hazaaron hain

Her every word reminded him of Radha... he was feeling utterly failed with his own emotion... His mind was now captured by his heart... Her music was giving him more stings... He got up swiftly from there... and she watched him walk out and continued to sing in low tone to finish the song...

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain

In aankhon se vaabasta afsaane hazaaron hain

Afsaane hazaaron hain

In aankhon ki masti ke

In completely drunk condition he automatically walked to Salima begum's chamber to see Radha...

Radha was also feeling restless with her emotions... She was constantly reminding herself of her mission... Her mind and heart were playing puzzle with her... her heart was not believing that Jalal could be this nice to women... Her mind was screaming out loud he is Jallad... Even after her inner war her heart was longing to see him...

Jalal walked in completely in drunken state in the room... and sang in drunken state... Ankho ki masti me... Radha swiftly got up and saw him struggling to balance while walking...

He saw... Radha...and completely forgot to balance... He walked swiftly and almost fell but Radha ran towards him in time and gave him her shoulder support then she made him sit on the bed... In his drunken state... he cutely looked at her... and captured her from his legs and her waist... and said...Radha tumhari ankhe... And forget what he was saying... And rested his head on her shoulder...

Radha with anxious tone said... Shenshah, Hume Jane dijye... Aap ne bahot madira pi li hai... Aap abhi so jaiye...

He squished her little more towards him... and while putting her hair behind her ears he whisper in low tone he said... Radha tum hum se bhagti kyu ho... kyu humse itni nafrat karti ho...

Radha was shocked seeing the pain in his eyes... his intense words were shocking her... She also got lost in his eyes...

Jalal got up from bed... and took her in his embrace... Radha is freezed standing... her hands are still not touching him... Radha with low tone said... Shenshah... Aap ne bahot madira pi li hai... Aap abhi hosh nahi hai... so Jaiye aap...

While hugging her in sad and depressing tone he said ... Radha... tum hume sone kaha deti ho... hum sari raat tumhara didar karke to bitate hai... Aur hosh... ab to yeh madira bhi hume madhosh nahi kar pati... tumne humara shukun chin liya hai... pata hai Radha, hum tumse nafrat karte hai kyu ki hum tumhare bina nahi reh sakte... tum hamri kamjori nahiii... And he completely knocks out on her shoulder...

She made him sleep on the bed... she noticed his close eyes... and wet eyelashes...

Seeing him in tears, Radha got shocked... Shenshah E hindustan... in tears... Is he the same heartless monster...?

She took off his shoes and put his legs properly and put pillow under his head... then she carried Rahim and made him sleep next to her and went to sleep...

Jalal wake up first with heavy eyes and headache... it occurred to him that he slept is in Salima's chamber ... he recalled the entire incident from the night before... including his hug, cry and his entire conversation... He realized his heart is not in his control... His eyes caught Rahim cutely cuddling Radha...and they both were in deep sleep... Jalal saw outside to figure out the time... He was surprised that Radha was still sleeping at this time... he quickly wanted to go out of the room before she wakes up... he almost ran out of the door but his mind started to get worried for Radha... Why is she still sleeping...? She wakes up very early in the morning, What if something happened to her in sleep?

He was very near to his chamber... and suddenly he turned back and ran to Salima's chamber to see Radha once again... he sat next to her on his knees... and touched her head to see if she has fever... He felt relieved as there was no sign of fever... then he waited and observed her closely to see if she is breathing... he felt much relaxed seeing her breathing normally... he got up and went back to his chamber. He realized his heart has started to beat for her and it is not in his commend to control his own emotions... and when she is near him, he forgets everything... But he once again remembers Beram Khan's words ... Love makes you weak... so he decided not to see Radha again no matter what happen...

Radha woke up and realized she was very late... She had severe headache and was feeling little dizzy... her hands cured in night... she has no burning in her hands but still redness was there... She woke up Rahim since he was running late for school ... it was time for Rahim's breakfast... she about to go out but before that one Dasi entered the room with Rahim's breakfast... and another dasi came in and started to clean up the chamber... Radha felt relieved seeing them helping; she knew for sure Jalal has sent this help for her...

Both Dasis left and Rahim went to school... Jalal had busy day ahead... many administrator and five kings came from different states to discuss about financial situations and security conditions on the border for their states... His entire day was busy in planning and discussions... Jalal announced in advance for a grand royal dinner in the honor of all administrator and Kings who visited Agra. Entire Diwan E Khaas staff was invited for this grand dinner ... Jalal specially called Rukaiya and requested her to organize this dinner party under her supervision... He wanted her to do something different...

Rukaiya was expert in these kinds of events... her planning and control on staff was really commendable... She decided to have different varieties of food from different states... and suddenly in her mind came another idea to take revenge from Radha...

She asked hoshiyar about Radha how is she doing with her fast... Hoshiyar informed her that she is looking very weak... Rukaiya smirked viciously... and sent Hoshiyar to bring Radha...

As soon as Radha heard Rukaiya is calling her, she knew immediately that... Ruqaiya has some wicked plan for her...

Part 3

Radha with low tone said pranam to Rukaiya begum... Rukaiya with powerful tone... Radha I want you to work in the Kitchen today and cook Ameri food for dinner for about forty people. You can get help from hindu bandies and don't worry about Rahim. Me and Ammi Jaan will take of him for today. And understand one thing very clearly this dinner is not an ordinary dinner... Shenshah has invited many kings from different state and this dinner is in their honor... I will not tolerate any mistake in this.

Radha with arugument said... Rukaiya begum aapko kyu lagta hai hum khana banana jante hai... Aur aap hum par itni badi jimmedari kese dal sakte hai... Humne koi bawarchi ki talim nahi li hai... aur humne kabhi itne logo ke liye khana nahi banaya.

Rukaiya with angry look said... Radha tumari Zuban tumhari aukat se bahot lambi hai... with louder yell ...she yelled... tumhari itni himakat tum humse sawal puch rahi ho... Aaj ka ameri khana tumhari hi nigrani me banega... aur thik nahi bana to saza ke liye taiyar hojana... Vese bhi aur bhi bahot sara khana ban ne vala hai... Kisi ko tumhare ameri khane dilchaspi nahi hogi... siva kuch hodedaar jo shakahari khana khate hai.

Radha with sarcastic look smirk a little... Which annoyed Rukaiya...?

Rukaiya with irritating tone said... tumhari hasi tumhe mehngi padegi Radha...

Radha with her calm and sober tone... Jo hukum aapka begum sahiba... Vese hume hasi iss baat par aa rahi hai, apne kabhi ameri khana khaya nahi aur us khane hasi uda rahi hai... Jane dijye hum apne karya ke liye jate hai...

Rukaiya got irritate ... Accha to tumhe lagta hai... in das tarah ke khane me se tumhara Shakahari khana sabse jayada umda hai... To dhika do aaj ka muqabala jit ke...

Radha with questioning tone: Chunoti... kesi chunoti?

Rukaiya with proud tone said...Shenshah ne aaj ki dawat par sabse accha khana banana wale ko vijeta ghoshit kar ke inaam dene wale hai...

Radha gave a little smile and said ... Ji dhanyvad batane ke liye... hum chalte hai.

Rukaiya gave her angry glare...

Radha was getting annoyed by Rukaiya day by day... She felt slapping her when she was making fun of Ameri food... Rukaiya begum aaj ki chunoti jit kar hum aapke mooh pe chata marenge... Hum us samay ka intezaar karenge jab hum vijeta honge... She started to feel very weak and started to lose her balance frequently... She called Reva and other ten hindu dasi for help...

She went inside the kitchen... Entire room was burning hot... She collected the all items she needed... with help of the dasi ... she started to make food and spices... She tried to stay away from chulah... (Stove) big flame and smoke was making her dizzier... She was sweating like she just took shower and losing her water from the body... which was making her more dehydrated and weak...

Reva knew that Radha was fasting and was not feeling well so she took over many of her responsibilities... fortunately Reva's originally from Amer so she knew how to cook Ameri food... Radha also was making sure all items are coming as per her expectation... she made all spices for panchratan dal... and Ghatte ki sabji... Reva was expert in Ghevar... so she took over that part... and Dal bati Radha was paying attention herself... since it is very important part of the meal ...

Radha felt many time, she is going to lose her conscious... and few time she lost her conscious too... but Reva sprinkle water on her face and came back alive... Every minute her condition was getting worst and worst... Her body was giving up but her willpower didn't moved a bit... She holds herself up till dinner got prepared... She cut cucumbers and tomatoes in different shapes... also prepare fruit plates with different shape... She decorates entire meal for serving...

Her entire dress was drenching in sweat... it took six hours to cook entire meal... She took shower and changes her dress... and Rushed back to kitchen for final overview... It was almost dinner time... Her head was throbbing with pain... her skin completely dried up... She was hardly able to walk... her face turned pale...

Jalal's day passed easily since he was extremely busy... he didn't get time to think anything else... He didn't even got chance to eat lunch...

Dinner Hall

Every one sat on the floor by the small individual tables ... Entire room was decorated with beautiful candles and classical music was playing on a side...

One by one chief cook came with their introduction they presented their food and test in front of everyone for Shenshah for security purpose... Finally Radha came with her team of ten people. She put her ghoonghat was covering her eyes... As soon as Jalal heard... sound of her kamarbandh he got shocked... There were many people around so he kept quite... Rukaiya introduce as an amer rajasthani tradition group... She orders chief cook to present the dishes... Radha with confident sound gave detail explanation of each item including how each item taste. Everyone got very impress with the look of meal... and the way she explain half of them had water in their mouth. None of the cook gave out details about their food... her presentation and serving were showing Ameri Ragastani touch in it...

Jalal smirk seeing her confidence and presentation of dishes... After hearing her sound his doubt completely cleared and he knews that Radha... He was surprised and shocked to see her as a chief cook... then his mind started run put picese of puzzle together... how this food cooked... He knew the temperature in the cooking room... He was still confused why she cooks for this many people when she hardly can stand...

Rukaiya ordered Radha to test food... As soon as Jalal heard that he knew she is not going to test the food no matter what happens...

Radha with respectful tone apologies and said... I am fasting today I cannot eat or drink anything... Can someone from out group test this food?

Rukaiya with angry tone: You have to taste this food. As per security requirement... every chief cook has to taste food no matter what happens. And what kind of cook you are... how you know without tasting your food is eatable or not...

Radha with apology but firm tone announced: Rukaiya begum, Sorry, I can't eat or drink. You can give me any punishment for this but I will not break my fast.

Rukaiya with loud sound screamed: Sipahio le jao iss magroor gustakh ladki ko yaha se... dal do use salako ke piche... Begum e khaas ka hukum na farmani ki saza to milni hi chahiye...

Jalal with loud scream Rukaiya... band karo yeh tamasha... Tum yeh bhool rahi ho fesla lene ka hak tumhara nahi hai... aur iss me konsi gustakhi ho gayi. Usne roza rakha hai to koi aur khana chakh lega...

Seeing Jalal's face Rukaiya shiver... Her eyes got wet and she felt embarrassed and insulted in front of that many important people...

Then with commending sound he said ...Radha, can anyone else taste this food in your group. Reva came forward and test the food...

Now food served to everyone... Jalal first tested Ameri food and with a big smile words came out of his mouth... Subhan Allah... kya laziz khana hai...

Seeing Jalal enjoying Radha's food Rukaiya burned in fire... She thought she will not be able to cook properly for that many people... she got more irritated when she saw not only Jalal but everyone is saying praising her food... All the cooks were sitting in the corner of the room. After dinner they all called up in the center of the hall.

Jalal thanked every cook for this delicious meal then he announced best cook winner decision will be taken by Elevan people. He picked five kings and five administrators and kept himself for the last vote. Rukaiya's face gleamed in happiness... She was sure now this competition she can't win... Since only two of them were hindu in judge team.

1st kings started to announce their vote... out of five vote Ameri food received 3 votes and 2 votes for best mughal chief cook of Agra... He was shocked and looked at Radha as a competitior... Now administrator started to vote... again ... 2 votes went to Radha... and 3 went Agra chief cook... so both were equally allotted with five each votes... Now Only Jalal's vote left...

Jalal called out both of them in front...

He asked Abbas the chief cook... How long he is in cooking profession...

He said with low tone... Hajoor hum ne bachpan se yahi kiya hai...

Then Jalal with happily said... Abbas tumhara khana lajawab tha... aur laziz bhi tha...

Then he called Radha and asked her... How long she is in cooking profession...

She pulled her ghoonghat a little up so she can see in Jalal's eyes and talk... With confident talk... she said: Shenshah, humare Amer me jis din ladki ka janam hota hai... usi din se ye uska jivan bhar ka karya ban jata hai... Hume bachpan se hi khana banana ki talim milti hai. Ha par humne kabhi vyavshay ki tarah se kabhi khana nahi pakaya aur itne sare logo ka khana to humne pehli bar banaya hai... Aur humne yeh sirf Rukaiya begum ke aadesh ka palan karne ke kiya hai...

Jalal looked at her pale and weak face... and realized Rukaiya again took revenge against Radha...

Then Jalal with loud tone said: Radha humne itna laziz khana aaj tak nahi khaya... Humne bahot sare mashoor bawarchi ke hatho ka bana khana khaya hai... par yeh khane ki baat hi kuch aur hai... Aur upar se khane ki mehek aur uska zayka... lajawb tha... Ha thoda humare zoaq (taste) ke hisab se tikha tha... par itna laziz tha ki hum apne aap ko rok nahi paye... par uske sath me jo Namkin lassi(buttermilk) thi usne khane ki aur lazzat badha dhi... hum to yeh khana ke kayal ho gaye ... Tumhara yeh hunar kabile tariff hai...

Radha started to blush hearing so much praise in front of that many people... her pale face turn pink in blush...

Jalal got up and announced Radha as a winner and Abbas as first runner up... both of them will receive prize.

Radha's face gleamed in her victory... She gave content smile to Jalal... they both looked at each other and smiled... Rukaiya face turns red in anger... Her defeat was showing clearly on her face... Jalal smirk seeing Rukaiya in this stat... This is the first time Jodha crushed Rukaiya's pride directly... Radha looked at Rukaiya and gave her winning smile... This annoyed Rukaiya to extreme...

Jalal gave Abbas his prize first... Then called Radha to receive her prize... Radha walked towards him and said... Pranam Shenshah... Jalal with cheerful smile gave her a box of gift hemper filled with sweets and some jewelary...Jalal in a whisper ... Radha hum to tumhare yeh hoonar ke kayal ho gaye... Radha felt little shy the way Jalal wishper...with little smirk, she said thank you and started to walk back to her spot...

At last, her body gave up completely... everything started to move around her... her vision got blurred...and she lost her balance... and fell on the floor in front of many people...

Jalal with loud roar in fear... Radha... it echoed back in the hall... Radha...

Precap: Jalal spend night taking care of Radha... Salima comes back early in the morning... Radha pack up her stuff...
