Superb, Cuddly Bear! No more need be said.

I was present when the Shahenshah gave vent to his grief. When waves of sadness and bereavement made him blame his throne for his woes. I lowered my gaze in respect and witnessed his real and deep anguish. It is humbling to see a great ruler acknowledge his inability to deal with a circumstance. He was looking for sustenance outside of himself and I felt he had taken a vital step, but where it would lead him I could not tell.

Then Jodha Begum Sahiba came upon the scene. She did not just stand, neither did she just witness, she bridged the distance between her and him. Standing by him she looked at the burning takht and she also saw a man bravely laying bare his soul. He said he was willing to forego all. No more did he want to associate with the power that has corrupted, that has demanded the loss of everyone he held dear. Something resonated with her. With tears she spoke fortifying words of comfort. Aap kabhi akele nahin hai Shahenshah She was willing to watch him break and not look away till he was strong again to face a new beginning. The new beginning that was yet unknown and so required a faith that anchors the soul. She would validate him in his vulnerable moments in a way that no outsider can. I could bear seeing one heart tested in the fire, but two hearts together strangely tested me.

As he poured out his feelings, I could no longer be there.Just as Begum Sahiba instinctively cradled him in her arms, I backed away and tiptoed out. I leaned against the wall outside, my heart now also lit with a tenderness so fragile. Behind me, at the very pinnacle of power, two people were wrestling with the cruel vagaries of rule and responsibility. But they also had such pliable hearts that could bow and acquire a new strength. Yes, I could understand them, yes, I could see them prevail by the grace of God. Because after the thunder is the calm and then the drenching storm.

The Fake Court Chronicler who has seen much but made sense of little...until now.

sidenote scribbled the next day: These events are part of a series of many that I have had to witness for record keeping purposes. Recent events have come upon the court in such a rush that I have been run ragged and am badly in need of a strong cup of tea. Gulbadan Begum Sahiba is on leave. Which only adds to my workload. But these are special times of change and I must keep my wits about me and record the transition in the mood and tenor of the court. It is not my intent to be overly emotional about matters of state. But the will, emotions and intellect must all co-exist in varying proportions depending on the day and the hour and a romantic imagination may have also played a part. I recorded what I saw. Let readers reach their varied conclusions.

Wow, such a beautifully written scene - The way you have looked at them like two royals, at the pinnacle of power, yet very vulnerable and angst-ridden, but willing to face all odds together, trusting just each other and their love, it really touched my heart. 👏👏
Padbear, Please it's an earnest request. Do continue this as a series. Now on, we are sure to get more precious AkDha scenes. Please do describe them in your unique and Fab style. 😊

PS: Please PM me next time you make a thread. 😊

Radhika you are kind to say so and like all writers I value every encouragement I get from readers here. If there is a royal scene that inspires me then I'll try to do as you said, time permitting. Thanks.

this dialogue by jodha sums up the whole jodha akbar journey

there every relationship is now beyond anything the first step they take in this spiritual journey
how beautifully it depicts the jodha akbar love there soul is so much in now its not just spending night with jodha or playing chess or anything else
now its not physical intimacy or just to be close physically its much more
there mind soul heart are just with eachother weather physically they together or not yesterday when he was washing his blood she was there with him when he was crying infront of atgha ji body she was with him when maham curse him she was with him how everywhere they just together beautiful capture small moment of them when she was silently witnessing him seeing him through eachother soul they now just see eachother beyond there bodies
the growth of jodha akbar life journey is so nicely put in


Har mod har ghadi mere pyaar ka saya chalega tere saath sajna
khushiya de ya de ghum saath ho tera pal bhar bhi door na hoga mera saya

Relationship materialistic things practicality money position power jealousy they went ahead all emotions which brings you do many wrong deeds
its the journey now which holds binds them as the purest form of two bodies becoming one soul

Inka rishta jo ek jung ke maidaan main likhi gayi kahan hai jismain inka prem har jung har nafrat har aag har jalan ko paar kar ek nayi subah fekhega aur duniya ko ek aisa sansaar dega jahan pyaar hoga bas

religion and the spritual aspect of jodha akbar life will now be in front
jahan jodha hogi jalal ki sabse badi takaat aur jalal higa jodha ki sabse badi takkat
they are god gifts to eachother now there love will gift us beautiful journey of there love

Tere mere sapne ab ek rang hai jahan bhi le jaaye raahen hum sang hai


I cant explain as all do so a song which truly depicts akdha and the journey how beautifully the two there



tuu chandaa main chaandanii tuu taruvar main shaakh re tuu baadal main bijurii tuu panchhii main paat re naa sarovar naa baavadii naa koi thandii chhaanv naa koyal naa papiiharaa aisaa meraa gaanv re kahaan bujhe tan kii tapan o saiyaan siramol chandra kiran to chhod kar jaae kahaan chakor jaag uthii hai saanvare merii kuaanrii pyaas re piyaa angaare bhii lagane lage aaj mujhe madhumaas re tujhe aanchal main rakhuungii o saanvare kaalii alakon se baandhuungii ye paanv re chal baiyaan vo daaluun kii chhuute nahiin meraa sapanaa saajan ab tuute nahiin menhadii rachii hatheliyaan mere kaajar vaale nain re piyaa pal pal tujhe pukaarate ho ho kar bechain re o mere saavan saajan o mere sinduur saajan sang sajanii banii mausam sang mayuur chaar pahar kii chaandanii mere sang bithaa apane haathon se piyaa mujhe laal chunar udhaa kesariyaa dharatii lage ambar laalam laal re ang lagaa kar saahib re kar de mujhe nihaal re
