Recap- Chandini Verma came near Jalal and looked deep into his eyes' with unknown reason he also looked at her affectionately' He bend down and touched her feet and took the blessing.. she just hugged him saying' ' so the Prince is here now' she whispered into his ears..
'I am Jalal" Jalal replied.. she just smiled at that reply' and guided him in'
"Where is Jodha, I brought her a present"' Babur asked Natasha..
Rajeev: Natasha, how long we are waiting for her.. call her'
Natasha again looked at daadi's face helplessly..
"I will bring her.. one minute" she went in..
Jalal was feeling alone, so he stood from his seat and went to the porch' It was getting dark out.. suddenly his eyes caught a slow movement of something in the dark'.. he got conscious and looked at there keenly...
Part-4
Jalal got alert. He looked deep into that place.. and then slowly took steps towards that place. He clearly saw the figure in that lightly shaded area. He easily realized the color of dress because he seen that in the morning too... Jodha was walking quietly holding onto her scooty , looking around to make sure nobody is seeing her. She parked the scooty in one corner and took few steps towards the backyard, she stood in shock as she felt somebody's tight hands on wrist',... her eyes gone wild and then comprehending herself quickly tried to bring a kiddish smiley face and then started blabbering..
"vo kya heina babuji.. vo'.. Kailash heina.. vo'." She was struggling to find words, suddenly Jalal's face came in front of her.. She paused and looked at her wrist and then did a quick search of the surrounding..'
"tho thum kya keh rehe thi?".. asked Jalal with winning smile..
"So, it is you? I thought".. Jodha replied after a deep sigh
"yes, it is me, what you thought.. Oh, ya, your babuji'... so sorry.. I can do one thing.. do you want me to call him.. Ok ok'" saying that he tried to release her hand, but then..'no no.. I don't trust you, will do one thing..come , let us both go in together.. how is that?'
"hath chodona".. Jodha in a normal tone..
"wow, so you can talk in normal tone too.. Nice to know that.. are you going to come with me, or do you want me to call everyone out? You can decide".. Jalal stood patiently to get an answer..
Jodha was struggling to get her hand out'
"by the way, I think your daadima went in to call you from inside because your babuji asked for you two three times'... so does she know that you are still out or just your dad?" he looked at her suspiciously..
Jodha didn't say anything'... He saw her forehead tightening'...
"What happened? Why you are so silent?'.. Jalal asked
He saw her eyes getting bigger and a tinge of fear started showing up,her eyes were fixed on to the ground'... he also felt some fear inside' ... finally he asked softly " kya huva? Why you are starring at the ground like that?'
"snake' snake'' ... soft clear, fear voice of Jodha said twice only.. she saw his hand releasing hers .. he jumped from the ground and then looked at the ground where she was staring.. his heart was pacing faster' "WHERE?'.. his voice came out again..
He didn't get any answer.. he turned to look at Jodha, the space was empty.. he looked around.. the brain flashed quickly the plan.. he stood with holding onto his flanks for few secnds.. he took steps to backyard, but found all that space empty.. he checked on the back door, which was locked'..."hum, so quickly went in and locked the door too'.. he thought.. He was walking back slow.. but then when he came back to the same place where he left her hand, he felt some unknown fear.. unknowingly his eyes scanned over the ground again..
"shh shhh"..
Jalal really got scared hearing that hisss sound..
"neeche nahi, upar...s hhh' a soft voice instructed him
He turned around and looked up and found Jodha standing near the balcony.. he looked at her angrily.
"do one thing, move this ladder from here to that corner, please'..ok.., see you down..".. she disappeared..
Jalal looked at the ladder, which was kept few feet away from where he is standing. She was climbing on this while I was looking for her.
He went back to the porch.. Within seconds Jodha washed her face and tried to peek out at the inside atmosphere..
'.
Daadi saw her as she was coming out thinking what to tell to her son..
Daadi went behind with her soft feet and in a whispering tone.: you are back.. thank God".
Jodha got startled and she turned quick and that startled Daadi too..
"why you are scaring me?'.. daadi asked holding onto her chest..
"no, you scared me.. ".. Jodha replied and then gave a kiss on her cheek and said: Daadi, thank you so much,today that ladder only helped me.. otherwise that Mr.Dilli'..
Daadi out of curiousity : Thank your Abdul bhayya... But what happened? Did he saw you coming..
Jodha gave an innocent nodd'.. 'now what I will do daadi. But I am sure he is not going to tell anyone..'
daadi : "why?'
"kyumki meine usse daraya..darpok hei vo".. Jodha with a teasing tone...
Daadi: that's all fine, but now what explanation will we give to your dad.. he asked about you couple of times..'
"Don't worry Daadi, That I will manage. Come with me to kitchen".. she grabbed Daadi's hand and dragged her to kitchen..
Natasha's heart was beating faster thinking how Mr. Rajeev may react in front of Mohammad family when he will come to know Jodha is not back yet.. She knew her husband well. He only pampered her so much , but when it comes to certain things.. like when he invite somebody home personaly.. he wants his whole family to respect them and be in place.
Meantime Jodha was scanning the kitchen area for dishes.. she found pakkodas and chutney, and the hot tea ready to go..
'Daadi, ye pakkode meine benaya hei, heina..'' she said with the wildest smile possible..
"ha beta, kaun kaha thu bena nahi saktha".. "chalo then'.. she grabbed the chutney bowl while Jodha grabbed the hot pakkora plate'. And they both walked swinging their shoulder on one side'
Jodha's voice dragged everyone's attention..'garam garam pakkode' sab keliye.. Jodha ke tharaf se..' she stood with holding the plate up in the air ..
Natasha felt a big relief...
Rajeev smiled : so that is why you are late'... ok ok' ...let's sit on the table'
Jodha " no babuji.. let's have the snack here.. you all talk, I can serve ..
She went and took few small plates and started serving to everyone...' she winked her eye as she handed the plate to Jalal..
"I don't want it" Jalal said in an uniteresting tone..
"kyum, dar gaye'..samp ko dekhkar..".. Jodha softly with teasing tone'. he looked at her face.. "sabko bethadum saamp ke bare mei., sorry sorry , mere late anne ke bare mei., the courageous prince ke bare mei..'..'
Without saying anything he took the plate from her and started eating.. Jodha flew to serve others.. Hams saw this and understood there had been some exchange of conversation.. she tried to read her son's face'... Jalal got the intution that he looked at his mom.. and found her questioning eyes.. he just nodded his head saying there is nothing'.
Hams: " Jodha, very nice pakkoda'... how did you made this?"
Jodha was pouring tea in one cup.. she chuckled once and then looked at Daadi, raising her eyebrows..
''vo meine.. sab mix liya na.. all the veggies'.. and' ...and .. oh, let me serve this tea. It is getting cold..'.. Jodha tried to excuse herself..
Natasha put the hand over her forehead'
"but this is onion pakkoras.. right?".. Hams asked in doubt..
"Oh ya, Onion .. onion is a veggie you know..' daadi, actaully we changed tha plan right... ' her voice was trailing off'... she looked at her mom with corner eyes..
"actually she didn't cook it, I only did.. ' Natasha tried to sooth the confusion..
Mr. Rajeev : "that's what I was also thinking, how come the pakkoras can be this tastey.."
"Babuji''.. Jodha looked at him with a childish face..
'my deedi, makes good dishes, I like it..' Rahul tried to side his sis.
"see that's my brother.. my little Kannha.. My Raja".. Jodha tried to pamper him..
Natasha; enough enough'... then looking at everyone.. "Jodha cooks, but not the main course and all, just for fun, whenever she feels like.. she search for recpies and make herself and they both enjoy tasting it.. I only cook traditional foods and she is the one who brings the flavor of change.. Maaji and Rahul is her assistants that time..
"I like to cook too, right mom..' Bakshi's voice came out..
" ha, with big mess".. Hams sighed..
"Bakshi, come with me, I will show you something.." she signaled Bakshi and Bakshi looked at her mom and then went along with her to upstairs..
Jalal just looked up as they were climbing stairs..
"Jalal bhayya, you come with me, I will show you my room'.. Rahul came out with extending his arms..
Jalal looked at him with a smile.."hum, so what is there in your oom?"..
"My room, everything, come with me.. I will show you.."' Jalal went along with him as everyone smiled ...'
Jalal entered Rahul's room.
"Wow! It is really beautiful Rahul'.. Jalal exclaimed.
Rahul: Jodha deedi only help me to keep it like this.. I will show you somehitng, he went to check on his table'... Jalal was looking around'. And he paused as he saw one beautiful painting of a warrior'.
"beautiful, isn't it?".. Rahul's voice brought him back to senses..
"Hum, where did you get this"'... Jalal asked as he was still looking at the fine clarity in that picture' ..amazingly
"nowhere, Jodha deedi only did this'... she likes drawing..painting.. and what not" she has many collections' ... Daadi's room has a beautiful painting of Kanha and Radha ; she did that with oil paints.. Daadi always say, when she looks at it, her mind feels so happy' Deedi usually does this when she is in good mood... she let me have this.. you know what is the peculiarity of this picture...'
"hum.." Jalal in trance..'it is the picture of a warrior, wearing all his gears, including the mask'... only his eyes are shown..'.. Jalal in trance..
"yes, and those eyes are sparkling.." added Rahul..
"hum..".. Jalal
"Deedi has so many posteres like this.. she drawn from her imagination listening to the words of Granny.." but then tightening his forhead Rahul asked Jalal with confusion tone.."everybody says you are the Prince.. so is that you in that picture..?"
Jalal smiled and kneeled down in front of him.." no Rahul, I am Jalal.. Only Jalal, and I am not a warrior..".. he said that with a smile on his lips..
But Rahul was trying to see the sparkling in those hidden smile...'
Sakeena aunty came in.."dinner ready hei.. chalo..'..
'ha aunty.. coming.." Jalal replied and followed her to downstairs'... He heard Jodha's loud voice as he stepped down..
They went down, Jodha was flying aorund serving .. talking loud.. elderes were laughing... but Jalal was eating seriously.. his mind was still looking at those posture...
The night was colder than Dilli. Hams dried her hands on a white towel as she was walking towards the bed. She paused for a second as she didn't see Humayun there. She throw the towel on a rack and went out from the room. Found Humayun standing at the balcony, folding his hands at chest level, looking deep into the moonlight darkness.
Hams went near him and looked at his face. A small smile appeared on her face. She looked at the space where he is looking..
"what is there in that darkness, that took all attention of my pathi Jalal.. ' Hams's voice , turned Humayun to look at her and smile.. Hams came near and held his upper arm.."so what you were seeing there, tell me too..".
Humayun looked straight into the darkness and said : "nothing.."
Hams " then what is it.."
Humayun in a soft voice : I was thinking about myself..
Hams.. What? are you trying to see your childhood?
Humayun: not childhood, but Jalal's age?
Hams: what?
Humayun: seriously.. its not Jalal.. but.. Hams, I am seriously thinking about Jodha..
Hams: what? first said, you are thinking baout yourself, then said Jalal.. now Jodha...!!!
Humayun: I mean, we saw how she is , but with all that naughtiness I can see the innocence in her eyes. I know my granny really well, she is a very intelligent and independent thinking lady. From her talk I understood that she is seeing more than her words. Or may be she wants to see her wordscome true, even though she is not connecting it Jalal and Jodha... but indirectly she is trying to connect them.., I think she wants to see Jalal and Jodha together..
Hams: why do you think so?
Humayun: simple, then we come here very often and she can see all of us more frequestly... just to keep us more closeer to her.. or to this house..
Hams: But, that's so early. Jalal is going to complete his studies and thinking of going to abroad.. but still a student only.. and Jodha just completed her degree course.. so how is it possible, I mean they are still kids.. and even if we agree later , then I don't think Jodha is going to accept Jalal.. she is the only one questioned him..
Humayun: "I know, but.. I think that's the way the future is going to be.." then she saw a smirk on his face..
Hams with a curious eyes: what's that smirk for..?
Humayun : " I was thinking myself in Jalal's place. Years back.. .. Humayun started visualizing that scenes'then with a smile.. I was in my mid 20's when my parents choose a girl for me.. I fought for myself.. even Rajeev also stood with me. I said this is my life and I should choose my own partner. even now also.I can clearly imagine my mom's tear filled eyes.. but you know how it all turned out be' So if I say this to Jalal , I am going to get the same response,. Now I am in the same shoe as my dad that day. And I really wish Jalal to listen to me, without any argument.. why all the parents are like this.. Why all the kids are same.. and that time my parents were not knowing how it all will turn out to be.. they just looked at the alliance and the family background.. Here I know them well and they know us well too. I will be more than happy to accept Jodha as our bahu, but for Jalal ..he has his own dream, he has his own plans.. but still why my heart wish for it..
"you are saying a common thing.. Like the mom estimate the food portion for the 2 year old and expect the little one to eat it all... rarely she realize at the kid's need and his wish.." she continued as she tightened her grip on his upper arm.. "don't worry, we are here for another four days, after that let the destiny decide what its planned for them..'
Humayun: ha Hams, you are right.. he took a deep sigh..
Hams: now let's go to bed.. It is getting really cold outside..
They walked back into room..
Two eyes were looking at them curiously as they walked back into their room.. as the image disappeared from the sight, he slowly moved to the balcony.. he stood in exact place where his dad stood and looked into the moonlight darkness.. he heard something about his Dad's past.. what was it..? did he left the place because he didn't agree with his parents.. its not my mom for sure.. because this place is new to her, even though she said she visited chandenpur, she never visited this house.. did my dad left this place because he refused to marry the girl choosen by grandma..

'Jalal, you better go to bed, it is really cold outside, I don't want you to catch any cold..'
Jalal came back to the reality and looked at Sakeena aunty.. then with a smile."thanks aunty'
Few lines appeared on her forehead: thanks !.. for what?
Jalal came near and held her shoulder: that's because for calling me by my name.. accepting me as Jalal..
Sakeena with a smile: oye oye.. even if I called you Jalal, you are my charming prince dear.. with the sparkling...
'Stop stop stop'...Jalal interupted: 'so I think now I have to take back my thanks.. I am so tired of hearing the same story, so please..'
Sakeena pulling on his cheek: no, I won't give it back.. If that is your wish then I will call you Jalal only.. Ok..
"aww.., its painfull'.. Jalal said..
Sakeena: Oh really, then let me pull little more.. I need to make up na..
Jalal: Bua'.. chodiyena
Sakeena left her hand at once and looked at him lovingly'
Jalal: what happened..
Sakeena with a teary smile: kuch nahi.. go get to bed.. its too late..
Jalal: Ok aunty.. Good night, saying that he kissed on her cheek and went to his room..
Sakeena stood there, touching her cheek'... as two drops just rolled down her cheek
The morning was bringing the energy into haweli.. Humayun was sitting at the porch with the newspaper..
"there is nothing special in that..'
He took his eyes off from the newspaper and found Jodha standing in front of him..
He with a smile" Jodha beta, Good morning, how are you?"
Jodha keeping her helmet over the table : Good morning uncle.. Am I right?
Humayun with question: right on what?
Jodha: Is there anything new in that paper.. It is always the same news'
Humayun: so you read the paper already..
Jodha: I told you there is nothing.. Oh ya, you are a business person, right? So yes, there is a news.. but you might be knowing it already' that Obama and his wife stepping onto Indian land tomorrow.. I say that is a business trip.. don't you think so..
Humayun folded the newspaper and then seriously : why you think so? But the agenda is different.
Jodha went near to Humayun in a serious mood talk: I know, they have different agendas, but the true reason is hiding .. like you know the condition of U.S. economy now.. and we are forwarding in our each step. So I am sure he is coming for a best deal..
Humayun: hum,' interesting.. so you are into business.
Jodha: nope, I am not interested in business.. but these all are general things happening around us, right?
Humayun: If it is not your interest , then why most of the kids at your age doesn't think about it..
Jodha: no uncle, that's not true. We do care about these too.. after all now we address everything in a global term, right.. so..
"what's going on here".. Babur's sound caught their attention..
"we were talking about Obama's visit'.. Humayun just replied.
"Oh ya, few come here, few go there, but what's the use.. its all about power and whoever is ruling the country.." Babur just addressed it in a general way..
Jodha hearing this " yes, daadaji, if you have power in your hand, you can do whatever you want, where ever you want..'
"so everybody into serious talk, that also this early'".. Hams's voice heard by all..
Jodha ran near to her.." aunty ji, good morning, where is Bakshi, actually I came to take her with me.."..
Hams " really, she is still in bed,'
Jodha with widened eyes " still sleeping? The sun is already over the head.. then she looked up as if she is looking at the sun..
Hams: that's not the reason, she is feeling sick..
Jodha: sick? What happened?
Hams: nothing to worry Jodha, I think because of this chilliness here..
Jodha; oh ya, .. did she take any medication..
Hams: ha, I gave her two tablets.. she will be fine by evening..
Jodha: tablets.. oh ya.. you are a doctor.. so you know what to give'
Hams: why you don't take tablets?
Jodha: yes, I do, but for cold and all I won't take anything'... then with a thinking.." I don't think I ever had a cold"..
Hams: Oh really, then you are lucky..
Jodha: no, I think that is the specialty of our Chandenpur'
Hams: maybe..
Jodha: but now what I will do..?
Hams: what?
Jodha: I told Bakshi that I will show her chandenpur..
'that is right, if you want to see chandenpur, then you should look through Jodha's eyes,..' Babur in a normal tone..
Hams: why? What is the speciality.. of that?'
Babur: because she knows all the places.. and all these places knows Jodha..
Hams: really.. then that is so special..
Humayun: Ok then, anyway you came for Bakshi, right?
Jodha nodded her head disappointedly..
Humayun: ok, instead of Bakshi, take Such with you..
A happy smile started appearing on Jodha's lips'... and looked at Hams with a hope..
"No Mom is not going any where?".. Jodha looked at the space from where the voice came.. and saw Jalal coming out with a serious face.. and the smile from Jodha's face disappeared..
Babur: why Jalal? I think it will be good..
Jalal: no, mom is coming with me, I will show her chandenpur..
Suddenly a loud voice of laugh broke the seriousness of the atmosphere and they found Jodha laughing loud holding onto her stomach..
Jalal looked at her curiously, so did others..
"what happened Jodha?".. asked Humayun..
Jodha with trying hard to control her laugh.. "No uncle, he came here yesterday only and now he is saying he can show chandenpur.'. she was about to continue..but then
"even though I came here only yesterday, I know most of it now.." Jalal clarified..
Jodha: Oh dear.. chandenpur is not what you see with your eyes, If you really want to see chandenpur, you need to look at it with your full heart' ..and I have seen you many times, running around with that camera .. and standing like a statue, when you see a bird, or when your eyes catch that beautiful scenery.. right?' and then what happens, you slip your feet and drown into water.." and then looking at Hams's face.. ' you come with me, I will show you chandenpur..' and then looked at Jalal with a teasing smile..
Humayun: ha Hams, get ready and go with Jodha and let me know what did you see different here.. I am excited too..
Hams looked at the irritated face of Jalal and went in to change..
Jodha looking at Humayun.. " Uncle, let me go and check on Bakshi'.., ok.." with a wide smile on her face..
Humayun : Ok, beta..
He unfolded his newspaper and tried to dig his head in that.. Jodha was walking to inside, as she came near Jalal.. she went little closer and in soft teasing voice.. " if you take your Mom for the tour, who knows if any snake's head will pop out say hisss"'drawing her iris cornering near the nose bridge...", so I am the better person..' saying that she passed him..
Jalal looked at her with an angry face.. but then saw her controlled smile while running to inside..
Hams got ready in a salwar and came out to go with Jodha.
Jodha was ready with her scooty..
"are we going in this?".. Hams asked'
"Yes, this can go anywhere in this village easily.. and you are coming with me.. so feel free.. no space for any tension at all..
Hams looked at Humayun and took his silent permission and then went and sat on scooty with Jodha..
"ye Mr. dilli, don't worry, your mom is safe with me,.. ok..'.. Jodha said it loud as she moved her vehicle.. Hams smiled, and Jalal again looked at them with a blood rushing face..
Humayun looked at Jalal and his reaction, and tried to control his smile.. and Jalal noted that as he tried to pull back his eyes from his mom' H looked surprisingly at Humayun's face.. Humayun suddenly aimed his eyes on letters as he realized Jalal's eyes on him..
'Jalal beta, daadima, is calling for you.." Sakeena' came out telling it..
Jalal looked at his aunty and then looked back at his dad's face and found those peeking eyes , concentrating back on the letters..
Hams felt like she is getting back to her teenage time.. Jodha was kept on talking all this time and Hams was looking around with her enthusiastic eyes' .. finally she parked her scooty near the meadow..
"I want you see this area".. Hams looked around, the area was completely covered with green grass... with few bushes here and there.. and then woods lining in a special pattern' they started walking in.. the wind was blowing by and one could easily hear its howling. "all the kids in this village come here' ..we play here.. and you know tomorrow evening we are going to have competition here.. you must come..'
Hams .." competition?
Jodha looking into the front surrounding..: ha, we have annual competitions.. for kids and adults and old age.. we have running competitions, singing competitions.. it is like a festival for us.. a festival with no boundaries .. anyone can join ..it meant for fun only.. You know last time my mom got first prize in singing competition.. she sing really well.."
Hams " that's good to know.. and what about you?'
Jodha: me, I am the organizer, so I am busy with running around, coordinating everything..
Hams: that's big job..
Jodha: yes, but I love it'
Hams: good..
Jodha noted Hams folding her hands and trying to squeeze in herself..
Jodha: are you feeling cold?
Sushi: kind of..
Jodha: ok, I tell you what to do.. she extended her arms out.. and said, .."just do what I do.". Hams with a smile just repeated the same. "Ok, now you try to feel that wind that is circling you..'.. Hams had a smile on her face'... as she listened to Jodha.. "no, I am serious, just try to relax your mind'... just see this beautiful space'... in front of you is full view of greenery, and the sky is so clear.. blue and white cotton puffs are floating around you'... and imagine you as a school kid, who doesn't have to worry about anything'... see those butterflies.. flying around freely.. and now are you feeling light." Hams just nodded her head.. 'ok now.. 'can you try to fasten your steps.. slowly and then sped it up with the wind and try to fly with it'..".. Jodha did as she said it...' Hams paused for a second and then her eyes started shining with her childhood energy..' that curios eyes.. the free mind.. she took her steps slowly but then the cold wind circled her.. she started speeding up and then unknowingly she felt like she is flying with the wind as she fasten her steps' '. . finally she stopped'... she heard her faster heartbeats.. she took some deep breath'... and then looked at Jodha who was breathing heavily..
"How do you feel?" Jodha asked gasping for air..
Hams just gave a appy smile in response'
Hams:now let sit down for sometime..
Jodha: not here.. Just few more steps, .. come..
Hams followed her.. They sat over a hilly area.. "now look down.."
Hams's eyes gone wild as she saw the beautiful scenery underneath.. the valley was looking like a painted picture.. with a group of sheep on one side munching on to the green grass, and smoothly flowing river in the middle.. few ladies washing clothes nearby' ... they sat there.. Jodha was kept on telling about Chandenpur, non stop.. Hams just listened to her small small village stories, she heard about few people.. she heard about Granny's stories.. she heard about village kids'
The sun was standing above their head'
Jodha: I think it is getting late.. I need to show you one more place.. let's go..'"
Hams nodded her head in agreement.,,. She felt like she got some new energy from the surrounding'... The scooty parked near the other side of the valley.. Hams's eyes gone wild in wonderment as she saw the small waterfall'
"do you want to get wet?'' Jodha asked.
Hams with hesitation ' me, no'... no..".
Jodha: do you like this waterfall..
'Hams: yes of course..
Jodha; ok then come with me/.. she held Hams's arms and walked into the clear water.. " don't be afriad.. this is the best place..' she almost brought her to themiddle space of it.. The water was just couple of feet deep and it was so clear that one can see the small fish swimming in it.. the shining sun above the head gave the sparkling to the clear water..
"this is the specialty of this waterfall.. it is deep enough take that fall into it, but we can easily stand under it and get wet'... anyway now it is not cold anymore.. and I guarantee you get dry fast enough'... come with me " and she took Hams under the water fall.. it just got her wet and unknowingly she extended her hands to catch on the falling water.. she looked at the spraying of water as it splashed the second it touched her hands.. Jodha saw her happy smile '... she felt so happy'... time passed by.. then they moved out from there.. Jodha got amazed as she saw Hams trying to catch the tiny fish with her hands.. she got interested too.. she tried..but the fish knows how to slip away from those big hands' ... they enjoyed the time together'
As Jodha said, their dress got dry by the time.. Only their pants below knee is still wet..
"Jodha, I am feeling hungry'.. Hams said with a hesistant voice..
"Oh ho.. I didn't think about it.. don't worry.. I will get you something.." they got back in scooty..
"Do you like guava?".. asked Jodha while driving..
"hum.. not all , but if it has sweetness , then no problem..' said Hams..
"you get only tasty guava in chandenpur.. and your problem solved..'.. said Jodha in a happy tone..
She parked the scooty near a farm area.. "you sit here Ok.. I will get some..' Jodha said softly..
Hams: where are you going?
Jodha: shhh.. I will be right back.. one minute..
She walked with secret steps and then scanned the whole area and then looked up a tree. Hams was looking at her keenly.. her eyes gone wild as she saw Jodha climbing that tree and holding onto its trunk with one hand, she extended her other arm out and plucked guava from its hanging branch'... she repeated the same few times.. and then slowly stepped down and came near running..
With a smile on her face..: Here you go.. I am sure, you will like it and will ask me to get more..
Hams: but Jodha, why did it secretly..
Jodha: that's because if the owner sees me na, he will kill me.. I usually come with my friends here.. you know it is too tastey when I pluck the guava like this.. if I ask and tried to get one, it won't taste the same'... try na..' as she staretd biting onto one..
Hams with little hesitation tried to bite it.. But then she tasted the best ever guava in her mouth.. within no time, it all got finished..
"you want more".. Jodha asked excitedly..
'aur chori karna hei kya?".' No this is fine and as you said it was really tastey." Hams said with a smile..
They roamed around further and was flying around the village hut side'... One villager tried to stop Jodha's scooty with an anxious tone..
'Betiya, rukiyena'.."
Jodha stopped the engine and turned her head around and looked at the villager'.
Jodha looked at him, he was in tears' eyes swollen'
Jodha: what is it kaka? Why you look so concerned?
Kaka: Sudev went to call the doctor but he is not there.. and Sundari is in pain and we can see the baby.. almost ready to drop down, but it is not happening and we don't know what to do..
Jodha touched his shoulder: don't worry.. but the doctor said after one week , right?
Kaka: ha Beta, but'.
Jodha thought for a second, her eyes fell on Hams, who was looking at them in concern..
Jodha: don't worry.. doctor heina.. ye, Hams madam hei.. you don't worry.. I am bringing her.. ok..
Kaka: but..
Jodha: don't worry.. we are starting to there only..
Jodha looked at Hams: so are you ready..
Hams: but Jodha..
But before she could say anything the scooty started moving towards kaka's house'
Hams: Jodha' what is happening? Where you are taking me..
Jodha: you don't worry aunty.. Just hold onto me tight ok, we need your help.. I don't know how long Sundari is in pain.. Jodha expressed her concern too in a loud voice'
Jodha stopped her scooty near Kaka's hut.. few people were around' mostly ladies.. one old lady came running..
Old lady: Jodha betiya.. what we will do now.. did you hear that.. the doctor also not there on this time.. and our Sundari..
Jodha: don't worry kaki, doctor heina mere sath.. Aunty..come, we don't have any time to waste.. ' then looking at the old lady.. "kaki, where is Sundari.."
Kaki pointed to the outside corner..
Hams's forehead got tightened..her brows arched 'what? why they have Sundari outside..
Kaki came in front of Hams and said with teary eyes: may God bless you dear.. Sundari is our bread winner , if something happens to her, then we won't be able to live..
Hams looked at her again in doubt .. but then Jodha pulled on her wrist saying.." come ' come.., this way'"
Hams met everyones pleading eyes as she walked towards the covered area by a torn long cloth.. Jodha stayed back , and looked at Hams with a request to proceed.. Hams looked at Jodha and with a deep breath she went in.. Ham's eyes gone wild and she came out within fraction of second and stood in front of Jodha..
Jodha: what happened?
Hams: Jodha''' sundari'an ewe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jodha: what happened to Sundari?' suddenly a loud cry heard in their ears and saw kaki, beating on her chest crying out Sundari's name..
Jodha's eyes got filled with tears she looked at Hams again with a hope..
Hams held her hand and moved to the corner and said softly: Jodha, Sundari is a sheep and I am not vet.. I never seen one or'
But then one old lady came near: doctor Ji.. please she is in labor for more than an hour now.. the amniotic fluid ( don't know what to say in hindi) is broke long back , and we can see baby's leg.. but it is not coming out.. usually all happens in a natural way.. and this is the first time' please Dr. ji.. help her' you will get all the punyas' please.. please..and her wrinkled dried skin grabbed suschi's hands and looking at Jodha's face, Hams walked along with the lady to the covered area.. Hams felt so weightless as she walked along with that old lady'
Jodha folded her both hands and was praying hard inside
Hams surprised as the old lady handed the long gloves to her to wear..
Old lady: we have a very good doctor here. So he keep his box to be used at the time of emergency.. unfortunately he is not there today.. our prayers are with you doctor.. Just go ahead..
Hams with little hesitation wore the gloves and looked at the sheep.. and looked at the animal tear trailed face.. and then praying to God almighty, she went back and checked the situation' She slowly put her hand in (the entrance to a ewe's reproductive tract is usually roomy and well lubricated ) and felt the baby parts ( after all she is a gynic doctor, so she has some knowledge)' and then slowly tried to pull the baby out and as the ewe felt the force on her womb and tried to push again' and there the miracle happened, and the baby was out.. Hams felt a big relief as she saw the baby out with a life in it.. The old lady felt so happy.. she ran out to give the good news.. Hams was feeling the relief.. but then to her surprise the other two black tiny legs poped out, and the baby fell onto the ground.. she looked at Sundari'. She was about to move from there, the other two tiny legs showed and that also fell down.. tear started coming out from Suschi's eyes' she went to the front and looked at Sundari's eyes as it was trying to strain again' the thick hay was able to hold the fourth little one safe in its warmth'
The old lady came back and found the four little one struggling to be getting up on its feet..
Old lady went and held Hams's hand: You are the God for us today'
Hams saw all the courteous gestures as she stepped out.. she washed her hands off' Jodha was standing there looking at Hams, Hams just came near and hugged her tight and happy tears were rolling down her eyes'
Jodha smiled too with thanking the Lord..
But then, they were started distributing the sweets and then everyone started rejoicing and Hams saw how thankful the family is for her help.. within minutes, villagers started flowing in.. and they were circling Hams with thanks' she realized how important these animals are in their lives.. she also joined in their happiness.
Meanwhile in Haweli.. Sakeena was talking with Jalal, asking about his studies and all.. Bakshi was feeling better. Humayun went to meet Rajeev.. Natasha and Daadi came in also with some sweets. Granny was taking rest.. the general talk was going on.. Daadi was glancing at Jalal every now and then. Bakshi was just a chatterbox and was talking about their Delhi life and the difference .. Sakeena was trying to do nice pleats with her hair..
Sakeena: no wonder daadi addressed your hair as rat tail..
Natasha: Rat tail.!!.
Sakeena: "look at this".. .. holding the short hair of Bakshi in hers
Bakshi: I know, I saw Jodha deedi's hair/.. it is so long na'
Natasha: you know why it is so long.. you know how much care she is giving to it..
Bakshi: does she won't cut her hair at all?
Natasha: yes she does.. but it grows really faster..
Bakshi: so she liked her long hair, how does she manage it..
Daadi: it is long because if she happened to be locked in a roof top room, and if that castle doesn't have any door, then when the prince comes, she can put it down and the prince can climb holding onto it.. Daadi was cornering her eyes onto Jalal as she was telling this..
Lestening to that Jalal disappeared from there..
