CHAPTER 5
@@NEXT MORNING@@
Jalal woke up and went out of his room.. He went out and saw his mom and maina aunty sitting in the hall watching TV. He asked" ammi itni subah-subah TV?" "Ha beta, jodha ka interview aa raha hai." "Oh" and he too sat on the couch with them . Jalal was busy drooling over the gorgeous lady answering the questions.After the interview got over hamida asked jalal to brush and obeying his mother like a good boy, went to brush. After brushing, he came out and asked " ammi, where's jodha?" Hamida spoke in to tease her son" why do you want know where's she? " Jalal felt that he was caught red-handed. To hide his embarrassment he told " n..no just asking.." Hamida laughed and told" she's in the garden." And pointed to the direction of the door. Jalal eagerly went out to get a glimpse of her. As soon as he readed the garden he saw the angelic beauty sitting on her knees and playing with puppies happily , unknown of the two pairs of eyes drooling over her. Jalal was busy in admiring her features. Her long,thick hair which she left open, her highly kissable lips , fair complexion, her doe shaped eyes. Her perfectly shaped curves. Jodha laid her eyes on him. She was captivated in his charm. She had to agree that whatever she thought about him may be truth or a rumour but he was no less than a greek god. He had the charisma to make any woman go weak on her knees. The cute little puppy felt ignore and woofed to bring the lost couple back to the present. Both of them were embarrassed. To hide his embarrassment Jalal uttered " uh... Good morning. U here?" " umm... Yaa good morning. I woke up a bit early so came here." "Another favorite place?" Jodha gave it a thought and said " kind of..."and gave an uneasy smile. " can you take this puppy away.. I don't like dogs" said Jalal. "No.if you dont find it good then you may go in . And Its not a dog. He does have a name and that too a good one. " oh great I never knew dog names are also good one. Hoga koi serru , chunnu, munnu, blah... Blah..blah" Jalal said to tease Jodha. Here, our Jodha was boiling in anger. She couldn't tolerate anything against her favorite puppy. " I don't keep such names. And dare not to say anything against my fluffy. otherwise no one can save you from me.." She uttered in rage. "Jallad kahika" she muttered under her breath. "My ears are all fine. I can hear you." Said jalal to tease her further. "So what. Glad that you heard. It was for you." Said Jodha. "Jungli billi"jalal said in a low voice but audible to her. "What? Don't call me dat otherwise..." " otherwise what Jungli billi? "Jalal went a step closer to her and smirked. "Jallad" She stomped her foot, scrunched her nose and went in carrying her puppy in. "Oye... Dont Take this dog in. Otherwise I'll not go in." Said jalal in a teasing tone. She stopped in her tracks " ha so stay out. No need to come in. Be happy. But fluffy will go in."said jodha in a attitude. " jodha singh is this the way you treat your guests?" Questioned jalal. "No never but until guests don't kick out family members out of the house" " what!!!! You are kicking me out because of this dog??? " it was enough for Jodha. " if you wish to come in , you are welcomed but fluffy will not go anywhere. And better call him by his name." Said jodha and went in. Jalal was impressed by her sharp tongue once again. " Jungli billi" said jalal and smirked.

Jodha rolled her eyes and was about to say something but was cut by hamida." are maina let her go na. Vaise bhi she has come after a long time.(turning to jodha) jao beta." " thankyou hamida maa." In the meanwhile jalal also came after having a bath and was having his coffee." mallika-e-Mumbai would you like to order something for youself?" Asked jodha in a excited tone to her mom. " no beta. But i wished if you could take jalal with you and use bhi Mumbai ghuma diya hota. Afterall who can be a better travel guide than you?" Jodha's mouth dropped listening to her mummy's wish and her eyes widened.Jodha went Jalal coughed out his coffee. Both looked at each other and then at their mothers then again towards each other. "Jodha beta. Kuch to bolo!" Said hamida... " h..haa o...ok... I'll take Jalal also with me." Then turned towards Jalal and told him " get ready within half an hour. Well leave asap" Jalal nodded and went to change.

@9:15am
Jalal came out while talking on his phone. He was super irritated with the caller. It was his girlfriend Ayesha. She is always flirting with him. He very well knows that She's behind his money. " babes u r missing me, right ? If you want i can come to Mumbai..." Said Ayesha in super soft tone again trying to grab his attention. " no no no ayesha you dont need to come here. I'm busy, I'll call you later." With this jalal hung up not wanting to speak anymore. Jodha came out wearing a black tshirt with hand embellished cardigan. Jalal was captured by her spell. For a moment Jodha too was lost in him but later competed herself. She was feeling awkward by his continuous gaze. She came and snapped her fingers to take Jalal out of his world. Jalal was embarrassed by his action.. " jaldi chalo. " and headed to the ground floor. Jalal followed her.

IN THE CAR
Jodha and Jalal sat in the car. Fifteen minutes passed but silence didn't break. So to start a conversation Jodha asked Jalal." When's your birthday?" Jalal's face dropped listening to her question which didn't go unnoticed by Jodha. "What happened Jalal? Is anything wrong?" She asked. Jalal didn't say anything and looked out of the window. Jodha kept her hand on his shoulder and again asked the same question. Jalal turned his face to her by this action of hers. "Nothing." And again turned his face towards the window. "Please tell me Jalal what's the matter." "Why.. Why should I tell you? Who are you to me? My friend? No. My lover? Nope. My sister? Not at all. Then why should I tell you? Jalal was irritated by her constant nudging. Jodha was shocked by the latest revelation. After a minute she spoke us "ok then let's be friends..." And forwarded her hand. Jalal dimly smiled at her and shook his hand with hers." Ok now will you tell me what's the matter?"
