RECAP: However, Jalal was surprised by one thing. Usually, Jodha would try to go away from him whenever she fell on him. But today she wasn't giving it a single try. She just kept smiling at him. Jalal smiled back and embraced her before slipping in a peaceful sleep.
Part:15
The peaceful morning proclaimed its arrival as it blessed the divine couple, lost in their love. Jodha slightly moved in sleep, she was almost over Jalal. Disturbed by the sudden sunlight that could now enter the room, he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the beautiful face of his beloved. How much he loved her!
He gently caressed her face, and kissed her forehead. Jodha smiled in sleep. Even though she was sleeping, she could sense his touch, his love.
Jalal didn't failed to notice the content smile she wore on her face as she slept. He gently kissed her eyes, then cheeks.
A shiver ran down her spine as she realized what he's upto. Aww... how much she loved this side of her husband!
He was about to kiss her when Jodha slowly opened her eyes and stretched her arms lazily. She was indeed, tired due to the long journey they had last night.
She looked here and there, and then at Jalal, with a cute puppy face.
Jalal smirked and sat on the floor,near Jodha.
" Umm Shahenshah? Hum yahaan?" She asked innocently, almost forgetting that she was the one who was so excited for this trip.
Jalal couldn't help but smirk at his cute little wife. He gently pulled her cheeks as Jodha's face got a tint of red.
" Jodha... hum Salim Chishti sahib ki dargah par jaa rahe hai.. Yaad hai?"
Jodha hit her forehead and replied, " Hey bhagwaan... naa jaane hum kaise bhul gaye!"
Jalal smiled cutely at her antics and said, " Jodha.. sometimes you behave like a child. So innocent, so pure."
Jodha blushed furiously at this sudden compliment and hid her face in his cozy chest.
"Shahenshah... aap bhi naa" She said, as she snuggled into his chest.
Jalal broke the hug and cupped her face gently, Jodha could see a little longing and desire for her shining in his eyes... But yet he didn't utter a word of taking their marriage to next level. Jodha was proud of her husband, for giving her the time she needs, needs to prepare for a new start...
Jalal caressed her face sensually, knowing that she needs her time.
"Jodha... ab chalein? Yahan ke logon se hume kuch muamlo( issues) par baat karni hain".
Jodha nodded smilingly, she could see the change in HER Jalal. She could see the love which he now has for his awaam ( people). She loved this side of Jalal.
Jalal got up and forwarded his hand to help Jodha to get up, somewhere he didn't like HIS mallika sleeping on the floorm but he knew its for a divine cause.
Jodha looked at him, as if surprised by his sudden action. She put her hand on his and got up.
"Umm Shahenshah" She said shyly, not sure how to say it.
"Haan Jodha begum" He said, a little surprised by the tint of red on her cheeks.
"Wo Shahenshah.. aap, aap bahar jaaiye!" She said in one go.
"what!!"
" Shahenshah I have to freshen up. So you have to go out. Aur waise bhi aap to jaa hi rahe the naa apni praja se bhet karna.. to jaiye naa" she said and pushed him out.
But our Jalal is Jalal. He came back inside and sat lazily on the floor.
"Nahin Jodha begum hum to yahin rahenge.. Aur aap to humari begum hai, aapko humse kaise dur?" He asked teasingly.
Jodha's eyes widen in shock as she heard him. "He wants me to change in front of him? No ways!"
"Shahenshah... aap bahar jaayenge bas! Hum, hume taiyaar hona hai Shahenshah!"
" Haan to thik hai naa Jodha begum aap humare saamne bhi to taiyaar ho sakti hai naa!"
"Nahi nahi nahi! Aap bahar jaaiye!!!" She said and turned her head in annoyance.
Jalal smirked at her angry look. He lifted her in his arms as Jodha struggled not to look in his eyes. Because she knew, one look in her eye and she will forget each and every thing around her...
"Jodha.." He said in a husky voice. A shiver ran down her spine as her ears absorbed his words.
"Jodha look in my eyes." He said, again in the same tone. He knew each and every word of his is affecting Jodha to core, and he was enjoying it a lot.
Jodha was still not looking in his eyes, she wanted him to say what she wants. And it didn't took a second for him to realize that.
"Jodha if you'll look in my eyes then I'll go out." He said.
Jodha's eyes twinkled with victory as she almost jumped in his arms. Luckily, Jalal caught her before she lost her balance. They locked their eyes, no one uttered a word yet they spoke million words...
Inn aankhon mein tum
Jab se ho gaye ghoom
Saara jahaan tera chehara
Preet ka yeh rang ab tere sang
Aur bhi ho gaya gehra
"Shahenshah... aap humein itna kyun tang karte hain?"
" Jodha, aap humari jaan hai. Hum aapse ek pal ke liye bhi juda nahi hona chahte."
" Nahi Shahenshah, hum aapse prithak nahi honge, kabhi bhi nahi."
"Sach kahein to ab to bas hum zindagi ke har pal yahi dua maangte hain ki allah humein aapse juda naa kare. Jab bhi humare haath dua ke liye uthte hain to bas wo aapki khushi aur salamati ke liye hote hain Jodha..."
" Shahenshah.. ab humara astitva aapse hi hain, jis kshan hum aapse prithak honge, usi kshan hum apni swas ( breath) se bhi prithak ho jaayenge"
Ishq hain woh ehsaas
Ishq hain woh jazbaat
Badal de ye duniya
Badal de ye halaat
"Shahenshah..." Jodha tried to say something but Jalala shushed her by placing his index finger on her lips. She closed her eyes in pleasure, his touch always affects her.
Jalal smirked, he knew what was going on in her mind.
"Jodha... agar aap nahi chahti to hum yahaan se nahi jaayenge" He said, pretending to be serious.
Jodha's eyes widen is shock as she realized what he meant. "Shahenshah!" She said angrily as she hit his chest with her tiny fist.
" Aap nirlaj hai Shahenshah!" She said and turned her back towards him.
Jalal back hugged her and said, " Ye bhi aapki hi sangat ka asar hai Jodha begum"
She immediately turned back and said, " Matlab hum nirlaj hai!!" She was really angry at him right now.
"Humne aisa to nahi kahan Jodha begum!" He said, smirking.
"Aapka matlab to yahi tha naa Shahenshah! Jaaiye.. hum aapse baat hi nahi karenge"
"Are lekin Jodha Beg.."
"Humne kaha na Shahenshah, hume aapse koi baat nahi karni!"
Jalal gently kissed on her forehead, in an attempt to manaofy her. Jodha looked in his eyes, as deep as ocean.
"Ab chaliye bahar jaaiye" She smiled and pushed him out.
~~~~~~~~~~~
She came out wearing a simple blue chaniya choli and a thin gold chain that rested on her collarbone. 
Jalal was dumbstruck by her beauty. To him it seemed that she was a celestial nymph, sent from heaven for him, only him...
He gently held her hand and pulled her closer, almost forgetting that they were in the public view. He kissed on her cheeks, making her blush.
An old lady's pot that she was carrying accidently fell on the floor. It was then that these love birds realized where they are.
Jodha immediately distanced herself from him as Jalal looked here and there. He was angry at the person who disturbed them, but luckily remembered that he isn't a SHAHENSHAH at that time, but a content man who is going to the dargah to seek the blessings of almighty.
He smiled faintly at the now giggling crowd and took her hand and went to see the chief.
~~~~~~~~~~~
" Bhaisaa... pehle to aapka bahut bahut aabhar ki aapne humein sharan di. Kintu ab humein yahan se jaana hoga, hum aagya chahte hain" Jodha said, folding her hands in a respectful Namaste to the chief who was in his late forties.
A thin man that he was, with a long beard that tickled his face with a moustache. He was a kind hearted man who gave shelter to every needy person. His little ashram was run by his children who worked in the city to earn money and run the ashram.
"Are are.. yeh aap kya kar rahi hain? Ab agar insaan hi insaan ki madad nahi karega to kon karega?" He said, smiling.
Jodha smiled back at him as Jalal offered him a statue of kanha.
" Hum jaante hai ki aap humse apni iss madad ke badle mein kuch nahi lenge, isi karan hum aapko kanha ki murti bhet karna chahte hain"
Chief was amazed at the gift which they have chosen for him.
" Bhaisaa, aapka bahut bahut aabhar" He said, looking at the statue.
" Ab hum chalte hain... Pranaam" Jodha said as Jalal gently took hold of her hand again, as they took off to reach the divine abode of the almighty...
