Chapter 3
After that Jallal says to Jodha that you can go rest as its late and the journey was tiring as well
Jodha: which is my room ... and I don't want to share your room
Jallal : (making his eye wider) I said you can go rest.. I didn't mention my room..And don't even think of that ..I don't share my room with unknowns.. You can go to guest room ..
Jodha: but .. Where's guest room
Jallal: (with frustration) on my head.. There are many servants in house... ask them they will guide..
Jallal calls one old man named Raghu..( who was with Jallal and taking care of him all the time...from last few years )
Jallal: ( to Raghu) chaha.. Show her the guest room..
Raghu: par beta .. kyu betiya tho.. (Jallal interpreted in middle)
Jallal : chaha .. I will tell you everything later.. phele aap isko( Showing Jodha) guest room dheka diye ... aur luggage bhi rakvadijiye..
Raghu: (nodding his head in confusion) says ok
Jallal: (to Jodha) now you can follow him..He will show you ..your room ok..(and turns to leave..)
Jodha: (with angry look) shouts ok... And leaves from their
While Jallal ...thinking what happened to her suddenly.. Why she is shouting??... This girl is really irritating..
In mid night
Jallal came out of his room as he was not getting sleep.. And all the attempts he made to sleep yielded no fruit.. And while coming downstairs he saw Jodha's room lights were on.. He was surprised... and then he thought to ask her if she was ok.. But Then he thought.. Leave why to ask that complaint box...she will start shouting again ... he went straight to study room.. and started checking his mail... but sudden he remembered her again... what if she really have some problem should I ask her... then again he thinks no.. What if she shouts at me again..But why the lights are on.. Did she forgot to off the lights or.. Is she not comfortable.. Uff.. Ok let me go and check once.. If she is ok.. She is my guest now and it's our culture to take care of guest... thinking that he walked towards her room
Jallal: (standing outside her room) should I go in or not...thinking he thought to knock the door.. If she is awake she will response..And knocks at the door (tuk tuk ) Jodha it's me Jallal are you awake..
Jodha: (with sad face L ) sitting on her bed holding pillow ( got surprised and angry at same time thinking.. what he is doing here? At this time.. ) what are you doing here??
Jallal: ( enters the room slowly)I just came to check whether you're comfortable or not...
Jodha: I am comfortable... (looking at clock)
Jallal: I wasn't getting sleep so I came outside my room... meanwhile I saw your room lights were on.. So I thought to ask you.. If you are ok..
Jodha : it's ok.. I don't have any problem..Thank you
Jallal: says ok.. And turns to leave and stops (when he heard her saying something)
Jodha: (with pout on her says) I am very hungry..
Jallal: (turns with surprise and smiles seeing her antics)
Jodha: (got annoyed seeing him smiling at her) why are you smiling... I am really hungry... I didn't have anything from morning
Jallal: hmm... why don't you go kitchen and eat something...
Jodha: L I don't know cooking...and I don't want to disturb Raghu chaha he might be sleeping now
Jallal: hmm.. Right.. (And thinking something)...ok will you eat Maggie
Jodha: (with surprise) yes... but..(Jallal interprets)
Jallal: come down I will prepare Maggie for you..
Jodha: huuu ... you know cooking...
Jallal: Nooo but I know to make Maggie.. Come
Saying that he leaves towards kitchen.. While Jodha follows him quitly..
In kitchen
Jallal preparing Maggie... while Jodha standing behind him and watching curiously.. There was complete silence... Jodha thinking he is not that bad as I had thought of him before marriage.. Look he is preparing Maggie for me... hmm good.. After few minutes
Jallal: here you go with your Maggie.. (He gives her the Maggie bowl and says) have it and go to sleep... good night...
Jodha: ... hey one minute..
Jallal: what now??
Jodha: thank you for Maggie... but please can you sit with me till I complete this
Jallal: (making this eye wider in surprise) what??
Jodha: (with anxious tone) I fear being alone..
Jallal: (smiling at her) you fear... I am surprised man
Jodha: why am I not human being? ... I also fear.. If your wife was in my place you would have sat with her Na
Jallal: ya ok... I will sit but finish soon..(And turns towards her and saw Jodha enjoying her Maggie without hearing him... Jallal just sat on the sofa and waited till she completes it...)
Jodha: (after finishing) wow, I feel better now
Jallal: happy
Jodha: (just nodded her head) yes
Jallal: go and sleep now..
Jodha: I... I don't know from where to go... I forgot my way... that's not my fault.. See your house so big... that's the problem..
Jallal: (with frustration look) follow me
Saying that he started towards her room and soon they reached her room
Jallal: good night
Jodha: good night

I don't know his new number also... while she was busy thinking.. she heard someone knocking at door..(Without looking she said) come in
Jallal: (saw her lost thinking and helpless look on her face.. he felt very bad for her.. but he himself is helpless he can't go to that party alone without her as the party was organised for both of them... and what he will tell his friends and staff...in low tone) Are you ready?
Jodha: (turned to him..with shock )you...why you came so early?

Abdul( Jallal best friend) : welcome Jallal and welcome babhi..
All joined Abdul saying welcome Mr. and Mrs.Jallal... (Jodha was getting annoyed as all were addressing her as Mrs. Jallal )
Jallal: (got inside the party hall with Jodha and thanked them...)
Abdul: (teasingly) so Mr. and Mrs.Jallal.. When are you planning to go for honey moon..(Jodha got irritated)
Jodha: call me Jodha...
Abdul: (to Jallal) hey you changed your name (winking at him)

Abdul: accha and started laughing ..( Jodha was really annoyed and she left from there..)
Abdul: yaar Jallal babhi is very strong..

All: yes ...
Abdul: But first we want Jallal and babhi to dance ( to which Jallal and Jodha's eye widen in shock)

Finally Jallal and Jodha gave up and agreed to dance

Hum tere bin ab reh nahin sakte
Tere bina kyaa vajood meraa
(I can't live without you now,
What's my existence without you..)
Tujh se judaa gar ho jaayenge
To khud se hi ho jaayenge judaa
(If I get separated from you,
I'll be separated from my own self..)
Kyonki tum hi ho
Ab tum hi ho
Zindagi, ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, meraa dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
(Because you alone are,
Now you only are,
life. You're my life.
My peace, and my pain,
you alone are my love..)
There was a big round of applause.. All were saying.. Superb pair ... made for each other...Jallal thanked all and left to khan mansion making excuse
Jallal and Jodha went straight to their rooms to rest as it was already.. And for Jallal it was too tiring day.. And He soon dripped into sleep.. While Jodha slept thinking how the events are taking place without her wish...
Next morning
At dining table (Jodha and Jallal sitting and having their breakfast with complete silence ... finally Jallal broke the silence)
Jallal: Today we have appointment with lawyer @11...be there on time (giving her the address of the lawyer office) I have some work I will complete that and reach the there on time...
Jodha: you could have called lawyer to mansion itself..
Jallal: lawyer also have some case today he have to attend court... he will be free after 11.. And tomorrow he will be leaving to US... And I want to complete this work as soon as possible.. So I told him we will reach his office..
@11 in lawyer office
(Jodha and lawyer waiting for Jallal mean while lawyer was studying some case file... And Jallal came at exact 11 .. )
Lawyer: Greeting him..how many days over( after marriage)
Jodha: one week
Lawyer: why are you applying for divorce?
Jodha and Jallal looking at each other
Jallal: we don't want to be together so..
Lawyer: but still I think you should give a try.. Because it's only a week after your marriage
Jallal: (making his voice louder) no... Mr.Lawyer.. we do want to get separated..(While Jodha also nods her head in yes)
Lawyer: ok sign here giving divorce application
Jodha: (soon after signing...) is it finished now...
Lawyer: no.. You have just given application form
Jallal: matlab
Lawyer: we have produce this to court.. Which I will do .. But we have some rules and regulation for this.. According to that.. Law says after the application is filed ...husband and wife will be given 6 month to change their mind .. So that they can continue their marriage...if they don't change their mind even after 6months then divorce will be given..
Jallal and Jodha (together) what 6 months?
Jallal: can't this be done little earlier
Lawyer: no I am sorry Mr. khan that's not possible..
(Lawyer making an excuse...left saying think over this once again..)
@ khan mansion
Jodha: still 6 month .., I can't stay with you. What will I say to surya.. No what he will think about me..
Jallal: (with angry) if you're so much worried about surya.. You can go separately I don't have any problem.. And by the way court have asked come after 6 month.. Not to be together for 6month ok..
Jodha: (with anger on her fate and in low tone) what ? Where I will go..I don know anyone here?
Jallal: You should have thought about this before shouting all those things..
Jodha..(Gave him angry look and left..)
Night at dining table
Jallal: (waiting for Jodha ... when she didn't come... he ask Raghu).. Chaha where is Jodha.. Did she finish her dinner?
Raghu: nahi betaji.. She didn't eat anything since afternoon
Jallal: (uff... I guess she is angry ...) ok chaha I will call her...you serve food for both of us
(Jallal knocking at door... Jodha... Jodha... Can you hear me...please come and have your dinner.. Look I am sorry.. I should not have said that... Please come outside.. to which Jodha opened the door)
Jallal: I am sorry ok come have your dinner...
Jodha: (looking at him in confusion ...) she just nodded her head in ok came down with him ..
Jallal: (to himself) why I am taking so much care for her... if she eats or not what for me? ... (And convincing himself..) Maybe bcz she is my responsibility now... Until we get divorce
They both came down and started having dinner quietly...in middle Jallal broke the silence and asked
Jallal: can we be friends.. Atleast for upcoming 6months so that we can talk freely..
Jodha: (her eyes widen in shock by his sudden approach)
Jodha: what?? Friendship...
Jallal: arre, i am just asking for friendship why are you making your eye so big..
Jodha: (making her eye even more wider).. You're teasing me
Jallal: nahi yar ..all are afraid of girls.. see now abbujaan ammijaanse darthe.. abb sabke sab darthehe tho mai kya cheez hu.. aur Abdul bhi bhabijaan se darthahe chahe tho puchlo..
Jodha: (laughing loudly) I think you have research in this topic
Jallal: aisa kuch nahi.. par dheko sab pathi aapne pathni se darthahe hai..isliye Hum dono tho nahe pathi pathi hai, nahe boyfriend aur girl friend...par anjan log kaise bath karthehe ..aur waise bhi hum donno abb ek he ghar mai rehethehe .. tho friends banjathehe ... kya kehetheho..( nothing like that... ever husband have fear of their wife...and so however we are not husband and wife nor lovers .. and not even unknowns and also now we are living in same same house and so talking become necessary .. so we will become friends ..what you say..)
Jodha : ( smiling at him...he is a good manipulator.. varna aise kaise ithna bada business sambal le tha hai .. ho bho akele ) hmm ok... but just friends .. Nothing more than that .. Ok..
Jallal: (blinking his eyes) huuu I didn't know there something like just friends ( saying he saw her changing expressions and started to laugh )
Jodha: (looking at him without a blink ... with frown on her face)
Jallal: arre I was just joking.. (to which both of them started to laugh... )
Jallal (to Jodha) : wow, you pretty smiling, keep smiling always.. ( saying that he leaves making an excuse )
Jodha: I know that...
Jallal: how..
Jodha: surya used to say that always... (Cutting her talk in middle) good night... and goes from their
Salamath rahe dostana hamara
Chahe hum phir mile, ya na mile
Chahe hum rahe , ya na rahe...
Precap: Jodha and Jallal tries to find surya..
