Chapter 36

"Rahim"! I don't try to escape from the aftermath of my doing"!

(Spoke Jodha pulling Rahim on her lap, caressing his head, slightly making him stare up at her on back he added by speaking , with his usual childlike tone and asked her. Making a smile appeared on her face).

"Yes cause you're brave one"! But why you weren't present to read the story for me"? Where were you"?

"I was busy in making arrangements to"!..

"Welcome his Majesty"?

(Mused Rahim with curiousity, cutting her in mid from finishing her sentence, tilting his head to her looking at her ,with innocence and curiosity filled eyes. But then he spoke further, with excitement and eagerness).

"but he's isn't coming yet"! or is he"?

"Yes he's coming today"! But I was busy in preparation to celebrate the festival of color"!

"Holi wow but I don't think you will able to play with color"!

"Why not"? Agra city seem busy on making arrangements for Holi"! Why I won't"?

"It's Hindu festival Choti Ammi"! It's allow to celebrate by Empire people"! However it's not to celebrate palace"! I thought you know about it already"!

(Jodha smiled disappear she didn't expected this hell with her last visit to temple watching color shop being set out. She thoughts it's celebrated in palace to, hence she didn't pay heed to ask about it or know. But now she know it's not and it's hurt her, in Amer the celebration of Holi was always held grandly. Almost entire Rajputana every state's, Royal family will sent gift for another infact many time , royal family pay visit to other. She herself went to Merta , a mere thought of beautiful Grandeur city Merta made her choked with emotion her heart turned heavy she forget to speak. She blinked her eyes several times, to prevent herself from crying. But failed s drop of tears fall on Rahim cheek, he opened his eyes and glance at her).

"Don't worry Choti Ammi I will talk with his majesty"! He will surely listen to me"! Then together we will play Holi"! Now I will take your leave mother must be looking for me"!

(His words break her chain of thoughts even though, she was lost in other thought not about Holi celebration anymore. But his words change her mood within minutes. She smiled and pinch his cheek, and he got off from her lap and rushed out away from her the way he come)..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Greetings Your Majesty"!..I didn't expected you here"!

(Spoke Jodha highly taken aback , by Jalal presence in her Practice arena, after all it's been just four hour he arrived here, instead of resting he's here practicing. Jalal who was swinging his sword in all directions halted on his move, before her his tilted sword was blocked by her straight sword strike on front. He stared at her mesmerized. But then her question, look on her face made him come to present).

"You're angry on me isn't"? Of-course you are"! Or else why you won't come to meet me"!...

(pulling her sword down, And Not knowing what to say more like how to say at moment. she had made her decision not to meet him , after what she heard, about the war which occur in Merta, and come to know about his marriage, she wanted to take her time to cool down her ragging nerves. What can be better than having sword fight"? So here she made her way to arena, finding the person she wanted to avoid for while. Didn't settled well with her either, but then not getting anything in mind, to give excuse she spoke. After all she have to say something to answer him).

"You hadn't done anything wrong to anger me"! Even if you did it's meaningless to be angry on you"! Anyway Congratulations Majesty! For your new life with someone new"!...

(This bewildered Jalal all the time, he was wondering about it, but when he's facing it , he want to run away and avoid it. His lips pressed in thin line, his warm look full of adoration turn cold and void of emotion. If anyone else on her place would said this, he won't mind it much first cause others doesn't matter, pricely cause he know they can do it say this much only. But no it's she , his Rajputi Lioness fierce stubborn Princess cum empress. She's isn't one to go by law or royal protocal, She's defiantly not someone to value the law power position or custom over self respect emotion. She know her right's she stand for them, hence her words her action made his mood sore. But then he got a taste of bitter Medicine by her, he will make her have it to. With this he spoke)

"Queen Jodha"! "We marry to strengthen the base of our empire"! not to build the base of a new life with someone new"! Perhaps being women you know better"!

"I do"! that's why I am congratulating you"!..

(Huh this is going far and tougher to endure. Is she mocking me"? Of-course she's what you expect from her to do"? If she will question you as wife , you will answer her as Emperor, if she will act as Queen you will demand as Husband, what or how she's supposed to deal with you"? Yelled his heart on his action on his views. This is complicated, i didn't wanted to do what I done, i was bound to do it, it was my duty as Emperor why i should be held guilty then"? It's not like it's first time I got married"? And no king ever taken permission from his wife or thought it to be important to even convey them beforehand about it. Cross question his brain. You're not like rest of king's, she's isn't like rest of women in Harem, that's why you like her that's how you want. Then why you have to excuse yourself or justify yourself by comparing it with other's"?. Alright you win i lose he chided his heart for always coming up with, such a queries and point. And stare at Jodha. Then spoke firmly with curiousity he was torn between two urge a part of him want to leave not ready to hear or speak more. So other part of him want to proceed and spend with her hear her out. He knew his decision to marry again, doesn't matter in the eyes of others, cause almost all of them in Harem and empire are aware, that It's not first it won't be last, he know even she know this and understand it after all she's Rajput Princess and marrying more then once for political reasons, it's story of every royal households. But he want to see it in person. "Why don't you admit"? you wish to see she will show her right as wife over you or not"? You know she won't back even if you act as Emperor she will strike on you as queen to"? You want to see her possesive side, to see she feel same for you or not admit it"!. Demanded his heart making him gulp inaudibly , he blinked his eyes several time, afraid she can read him cause she was staring at him).

"That's all you will do"? Won't you say anything else"? Or have anything ask"?

"22 day's your majesty"! Since we last met and talked"! It will be lie to say i have nothing ask or say"! But truth of our life stop me from being honest with you now"!

"You're my Queen the empress of Empire my Wife companion of my life Jodha"! Nothing and no one no absolutely no reality of life can stop you or me"! from being honest with each other"! You can ask or say anything to me"! not because you're my wife or queen "! but because you have it in you as person to do so"!

"What if I don't"? "I don't have that in me anymore to do what I really want"?

"Why would you say that"? Has something happen here at my absence"? Tell me what's the matter"? "Name the person who offend you"! The person won't live to view the sunrise"!

(Jodha open her mouth to answer him , but closed it without saying anything. Making him curious and impaitent, he step closer making her retreat one step. What's he's doing"? What he intend to do"?. She watch him surprise as he approach her again his hands brushed with her's, then open his mouth to speak).

"Pardon me your majesty"! "Sir Adhgha request to meet you"!..

"Convey him to wait in my room"! I am coming in while"!..

(Saying this he motion the Soldier to take his sword. after while , Watching the Soldier walked away , before Jodha could comprehend his move, Jalal all of sudden grasped her hand gently and stare up at her, his expressions changed from indifference to worrisome. Then he raised his other hand and touched her forehead),

"You're warm"! "You have fever"!.

"I am better then before"! in-fact I am fine now"!

"You're not the one to decide"!

"Wh woo what are you doing"?

(The sword fall on floor from her hand, he swept her off her feet in his arms ,without any prior notice. Her hands moved involuntarily, to find a support and they settled on his shoulders).

"Taking you back to your Room"! You need rest"!

"Put me down your majesty i can walk on my own"! Beside what people will say if they saw this"!

"I don't care let them think whatever the hell on earth they want"!

"But i do"! "Put me down"!

"Fine then, pretend like you are unconscious"! Cause i ain't listening you"!

(A disapproving frown made its way on her face, but she closed her eyes accepting ,her defeat and even with closed eyes she could visualise him smirking at his little victory. He carried her in his arms in silence after that. He was so close that Jodha, could almost listen to his heartbeats, she leaned against his chest closer to feel it beating in a constant rhythm. "Did it race a little bit more when i snuggled closer"? She thought but then she let herself Cuddled in his arms, listening to his heartbeat in the silence, she felt so peaceful. It felt like home to her, soon Jodha drifted to peaceful sleep, before they could even reach her part of palace in her room. After a while Jalal sat on bed watched her sleeping, he checked her forehead umpteenth time with worried look on face. He was restless even though the Physician inform him nothing to worry it's mild fever, she will be fine soon cause she's is given her medicine. But it failed to satisfied his heart. He dismissed all the servants from room he knew. Rubbing her hands by taking them in his, changing the wet cloth from her forehead. The fever was coming and going. This fact was itself enough to increase his worries. "You're diffrent you're mine and i love you Jodha"! I just don't know how to prove it to you"? Perhaps I can't do it ever cause i know nothing about it"!. See what you do to me"? Mild fever yet it's have me restless here, will you believe it if i say even the first time, when i talked with my new wife. I was having your thoughts in heart and mind, you know she's is different, but unlikable to me. He murmured and got lost in recalling the time he spend with Bikaner Princes).

Flashback

(Stepping inside the room, Jalal was braced by Few maid's standing in row, they welcome him inside by showering him by flower petals. He watch at left and approach her, he was already taken aback by the welcome. When he walked further from the row of maid's. The maids hurried out of room closing the door behind. Leaving the Emperor and queen alone, he watch her as she was sitting on bed folding her knees clasping them close to her chest. Her peitie frame was entirely covered by layers of heavily worked Ghaghra choli and Jewellery. Her head has long veil on, she was looking like an idol. He was confused minutely he gazed at her, the time he married Jodha, he knew what to expect from her in start. He was aware how to face her, but this time he didn't there's no excitement in him. He was just curious, he was feeling like he's, sent on battlefield without any knowledge of his enemy, or how the war will take place. No one spoke anything, the Women sitting on bed , hardly move to even acknowledge his presence. But he knew she knew he's there, watching her but then he approached further but stood just inches away from foot side of bed. After one more minute passed he heard low sighs of her, another life being joined with his, he have one more responsibility one more person bind with him by sacard vow. But he's feeling nothing how pathetic. Closing his eyes shut he tried to shrug the thoughts off. But then smelling the lit lamp, he opened his eyes and found her doing his, wait what's she's doing"? I saw Jodha doing this but for Her God. Why she's doing this for me"? With stubborn fire desert of rose , you didn't get to understand the women here worship their husband as God. It's must be one of her ways to convey her gratitude to you , or welcome you. But you won't know unless you ask her but one thing is sure she's pretty much more traditional than her. What's wrong with you standing before your new wife thinking about another"? Worse you're trying to find similarity between them"? Have you lost it"? Ask his heart, and got pat reply by mind "Of-course not but it's always good to compare and diffrentitate between two precious gem"!. "But she's beyond compare"! Indeed Jalal agreed entirely with his heart).

"Thank you your Majesty"! For honouring my wish to meet you by coming here on own"!

(Her words broke his chain of thoughts, but he saw her nowhere but then he saw her down on ground. Oh lord this is unexpected I gave her Honor of wife by making her equal to me and she's there"? Down on my feet irony the one I want to have there won't be there ever. And the one I don't they're there in no time. He want his enemy there on his feet begging for mercy but they're not even knowing death is certain for them if they don't. And here she". He immidately bend down and put his hands on her shoulder, if his own hand wasn't trembling a bit he. Won't sense her flinching, but he did she don't want me like her"? At least in this they're similar. Making her stood up he spoke firmly in tender tone).

"Get up my Queen"! Your place isn't on my Feet"!

(He didn't heard her, but then a urge come on to him to see her face which is still covered by long thick veil. So far her voice her words her gesture he find her different from Jodha. He wants to see how different she's from look, but by her actions he's sure it won't happen on own at all. Hence he with little hestitation in heart but over power by strong desire to see her. Held her Veil, then slowly uplifted her, "Subhan Allah"! Thought his brain. What a beauty"! She seem to look like Goddess of fire mentioned in Hindu religion, with her sharp features. She's dusky skinned in color. However today he comes to know how your name your look could be exact replica of your deed persona and behaviour. And how it's could be exact opposite of it as well. One look at her you would say she must be stubborn prideful like her look. But she's exact opposite of her look she's is damsel in distress type would need his protection for sure. And Jalal doesn't like this at all, he like strong stubborn people, why don't you admit clearly "? you Like Ameri princess"? Ask his heart except her no one anymore could woo you"? No matter how they're"? He waited for his own mind to come up with something but seems like it's to tired to answer).

"Your Majesty"! "Please sit here"! I want's to talk with you but before that here"!

(Listening her words he stare at her and nodded walking up-to bed as she gesture him to sit. he sat on it, As she put the plate of Aarti on table and come with another plate, it has four peace of Paan prepare of-course for him. But he don't know he never eat it, he didn't knew what to expect this in taste. Bitter"? Sweet"? Rukaiya often eat it but he don't get to relish the taste of it ever. And it's easy to hate the thing or dislike it , when you know nothing about it. He didn't make a move but ask her).

"We're done with exchanging civility"! Now tell me freely why you wanted to meet me"!

"I your Majesty"! I unlike Princess of Amer"! You didn't Honor me"! by Meeting me before Marriage"! I don't get to put forth my condition before you"! And now it's meaningless cause I am married to you already"! But with due respect I can"! Can I request you to respect my space"! And back me in practicing my religion freely"!

(Respect, Support interesting indeed, however He wasn't having thought's about her at all. In past two days he didn't even get to come in terms with his marriage at all. It's happen in hurry three days back his heart was saddened and burdend by guilt, three days later he got married sound strange to his own self. But now as he get free a bit, he realised even this marriage is fruitful for him. If he ignore the emotional turmoil he's facing at moment, then this marriage is going turn out a real game changer for him. He will never need to prove himself that he's isn't under anyone influence. Specially women's, he had three reason for not rejecting the proposal. First it's cone out as political alliance, second like this many more state will approach him with same alliance. Third rejecting this would have led his empire people to believe. His alliance with Amer wasn't Political of Administrative decision at all. Fourth his decision he made Bikaner king ruler of Merta instead of offering Merta kingship to Mughal general. And offering army commander post to Maan, going to set another trouble for him it's not like he couldn't face it but not everytime he wish tackles this by force. Not to forget his next decision will create hovoc in Empire for sure. And to face it he need strong support. With so many issue piled up before him to tackle them, he don't have much a choice at all when it's comes to prioritizing his own emotion either. And this he knew and understanood from start. However knowing and doing is entirely different but that's thing to ponder over later on).

"Sure"! You're my wife"! it's my responsibility to fulfil your wish"!

(Why you never been this soft with Jodha"? Wife"? do you recall how you behaved with her on first night of you marrying with her"? Will you chill for time being she's isn't here, of-course she's isn't here, it's one of main reason you married once more and trying to be frank now"? She won't have objected either, who knows she would have or not"? You don't even gave chance to her or any of them to ever object in this matter. Jalal sigh inwardly this isn't going well, he shouldn't been here he shouldn't married her either, but he did he's here and married her to there's no backing out either. He felt like evil person but then he knew it's not first and it won't be last either. As soon Asaf Khan would sent daughter in law of Queen Durgavati he may have to marry again, or just have them in Harem as no they won't accept it at all. Well that's the matter to wonder about later on. Casting one more glance at her, who was now sitting Beside him on bed he got up, not knowing what to expect more she ask to respect her space and support her in practicing her relegion freely. So he should leave now, besides he needs to rest well to leave for Agra at first hour of dawn anyway. Hence he took step further to walk out but a grip on his wrist stopped him. He tilted his head and looked back at her).

"Your Majesty"!.. i it's first time"! After i actually if you will stay here then"!..

(So the women doesn't want to give any chance to others to mock her, even if nothing happens between them the fact he spend the night with her. Will be enough for others to respect her, but he didn't even done this with Jodha, then why he should do it here, as matter of fact he's not obliged to accept her request. But then he's going to rest anyway, doesn't matter in his own or here in her. Hence giving a nod he settled himself on couch. And this how his first night with his new wife went. However the only thought he had in mind when he laid on bed was, Jodha what she would think "? or how the news will effect her"? This new Relation of him would effect his relation with Jodha"? Lot of questions no answer but one thing he was certain, Nothing almost no one could intrigued him anymore. Only Jodha can why"? He couldn't answer as the inner emotional turmoil exhausted him to sleep).

"Your Majesty "! Sir Adhgha is waiting for you"!.

(The voice of maid stepping in room, bring him in present he stared at Jodha, without even looking at maid he ordered her in stern tone. He know he told Sir Adhgha to wait for him in room. But he didn't then she's unwell now he do, he can't leave her alone for the sake of some political issue).

"Inform him i will meet him later on"! I am busy for now"!. And leave but make sure to not let anyone in without my permission"!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Drowning in painful ocean of Tears"!

"I am trying to stay alive"!

"Breathing can do it no more"!

"hoping for ray of light to survive"!

"Amazing lines"!

(Voiced Jodha praising it, as soon she, heard the lines of poem , from Women sitting on couch writing something on the paper, by dipping the feather tip on ink calmly. Clad in yellow heavily worked Ghaghra Choli but very minimal and light worked Jewellery. The women got up from couch and tilted her head at Jodha's way, turning around entirely she smiled Slowly and folded her hands to greet her).

"Greetings"! I am"!..

"Queen Nathi Bai"! Princess of Bikaner"? I know you"! "Accept my heartily Greeting's"! Welcome

(Greeted Jodha back, realising who the women is, She's beautiful, Her facial features are sharp, however she's exact opposite of her looks. Thought Jodha inwardly with smile on face. And stared at her , Her looks portray her confident and fierce one. But her actions her geatures aren't ,However Jodha knew, not only looks but gestures can decieve to. So she wanted to be sure hence approaching towards her. "She recall Rukaiya, when The news of Jalal marrying , Bikaner princess arrived, they were present in Harem meeting hall, where the political Harem meetings are held. Listening this first thing Queen Rukaiya said was "This won't last"! And Jalal marrying another Princess Proved it"!. Oh that vile women had her ways to corrupt her mind. She didn't said this to her in person , but she know it was meant for her. That time she Thought she's is talking about new relation, in a way taunting her, that see you thought you're special "? but you're not, the new Queen may assume the same, but truth is this won't last"! But the way she look at her made her wonder "what wouldn't last"? Her looks her position "? She don't held any position yet, she's isn't much a Beauty either, then she needn't to get self-conscious either. Her chain of thoughts broke by Princess Nathi Bai).

"I always wondered about the fact"! how you cope up with people "? you hated from the time you understand the meaning of hate"! But now I know"!

"Perhaps you understand"! cause you're on same boat as me"!

"Unlike you"! your highness I didn't Hence I ain't"!

(The words were meaningful, however she knew the women standing before her, didn't intend to taunt her or put her down. It was simple statement Amer faced warth of Mughal and mercy as well. They fought with them so they side with them as well. So she hated Mughal from start. "but Bikaner"? There's no enemity between the two, even if it is it's converted into friendship more like martial relationship. Top of it the way Mewar type state or royal there despise Mughal Afghan no other state does. Not every state royals think other state people as their own. Even though they wish to rule on them to , but considering them as own without having any right over them doesn't make sense to them either. After all the nation were divided. However it wasn't words which made Jodha thoughtful it was crimson cheeks of Nathi Bai, Was it blush she saw"? Oh lord did this women got smitten by his majesty already"? If yes then to why it's bother you"? let it be she's his wife, so am I"! Thought Jodha but didn't answer or said anything. This all his fault why he have to marry again, already there are enough women to burn heart in fury now this, with Queen Salima she needn't to get worked up cause her equation with Jalal is different, with Queen Rukaiya she needn't to worked up either cause her equation is different with him as well. She needn't to bother by rest of Harem women either, but Princess Nathi Bai"? She recall her mother's word, "We're Rajput"! In the fear of tomorrow"! we don't gave up our today"! And you know this better "! don't you"? You have to live here"! You have lot of time to figure out your emotion"! And decide for yourself"! But don't shut him out don't isolate yourself from him"! Cause if you turn away from him today"! He may turn away from you tomorrow"! You were right Mother you were very much right, now my tommorrow come before me in the form of Princess' Nathi Bai"!, but Jalal way's aren't change at all , he spend entire evening and night with her yesterday. Worrying for her tending on her on own, as she was sick. Sometimes what we fail to accept in easy way we learn and adopt ourselves by hard way. And same happen with Jodha, It's not like she didn't knew he's emperor will get more states under his territory or he will marry again she knew very well. But this didn't bother her much. But now it did with Princess' Nathi Bai she feel threatened. She's ought to cause both are Rajput and she's aware what Rajput could to achieve their goal. How they work how far they Honor or priorities everything. And this she just had no idea how to deal with"? What she should do"? She cannot have all time of Jalal for herself, she cannot keep quiet either when it's comes to take decisions. Her opinion can often end up clashing with his, Then how and what she should do to don't lose him to anyone else. "Lose him"? when did you had him"? You hadn't given yourself to him entirely, you think you had him"? Can you for once get to change his decision or get to influence him in anyway"? Look at others in Harem, how they pay extra effort in dressing up to lure him by their Beauty. But you"? Here watch women from your Soil only she's playing coy easy prey. Her innocence could lure him sooner or later, but you"? what you can do"? I don't need to act as other i need to be myself only. Just a bit attentive on him now. Her chain of Thoughts broke by Vishkha who informed her).

"Your highness"! His Majesty's want your presence at Khel Angan"!

(Jodha gave a nod and greeting Nathi Bai once , she walked away to meet Jalal. To lost in thoughts she didn't even pay heed to the way she was led By Bilal Khan and her maid. In an inner sanctum of the fort at Agra, within the walls of the imperial zenana, lay the Khel Aangan. It was a courtyard of sixty-four unblemished black and white marble squares, hand-polished to a seamless shine. The roof yawned to the sky above. On breathless summer days, as the sun drenched the palaces, the black squares swallowed the light; the white reflected it pearl-like in a mosaic of deep pools and still white water. The squares measured ten feet on each side. On one side of the courtyard, raised from the ground, was a marble balcony strewn with divans and pearl-studded cushions. As the sun set over Agra, lingering in the western sky for a brief equatorial moment before being scooped into the earth, torches flared to life in sconces set high on pillars that surrounded the courtyard. Bilal Khan led Jodha into the balcony).

"What's this place"? Why we're here"?

"To meet his Majesty "! your highness"! Wait I will inform him about your arrival"!

(When he left, Jodha looked around herself. It was dark by now, the sky a soft velvet studded with glimmering stars, but it was the courtyard below that drew her attention. The light from the torches and oil lamps glowed gold in the warm air. Jodha leaned over the balcony, her heart beat with excitement. She heard about this place , but didn't venture here in this part of fort , She heard that Emperor had the workmen sent into exile, once they had finished work on this part of fort, so they could not talk of it, in seriousness or in jest. And no one would build another quite like it. And now she, was here. It was empty for now but then An elephant trumpeted softly, stealing attention she look down into the courtyard again, her mind imprinted with the picture in front of her, she was storing every exquisite detail. The floor stretched gleaming in front of her, shining dully in the lamplight. The board was set with live pieces for chess, and her eyes shinned over the sight of pieces. The rukhs on either end and on each side were calf elephants, sporting tiny howdahs, a mahout standing next to each elephant, hands on their charges’s necks. These were the Emperor’s special elephants, born in the imperial stables, their bloodlines impeccable, dating to Emperor Humayun’s time. They were trained especially for this game; in a few years they would be too large to fit into the courtyard, or to stand comfortably on the squares of the board. The knights were foals, drenched in imperial livery, bridles, bits, saddles embellished with real gold and silver. Next to the knights were the commanders of the Emperor’s army—mansabdars—holders of mansabs of ten thousand infantry and cavalry. Jodha looked at their strange vestments with surprise. The eunuchs masquerading as commanders were dressed in long, thick cotton robes. In the very center, behind the row of eight foot soldiers, were the king and his Queen. The pieces were all dressed in white satin and black velvet, contrasting white and black pearls sewn into their clothes and the elephants’ head coverings. Jodha blink her eyes, she was truly amazed by the sight, No, it was not a dream. She's is truly watching it she's here in the Khel Aangan, the board set for Shatranj, the pieces like jewels glimmering in the lamplight. She had only heard of the Emperor’s collection of pieces before, now she's watching them for herself).

"Greetings Queen Jodha"! How you're feeling today"?

(Jalal greeted her, she was to lost in looking at the view. She didn't heard about his arrival and he liked it that way. When she was lost in looking at the view he took his time to stare st her, she was dressed in Light green color Ghaghra Choli and like always new sets of Jewellery, were enchanting her look More. But this time it wasn't the color of dress or Jewellery which intrigued him unlike before it wasn't even her face, cause she's staring either side before it's the Design of dress, it's not inappropriate but it's he cannot even pin point worse he could feel himself hardened. It took him minutes to come in present. And call out for her by greetings her, he realised he can stare at her all day , still it won't be enough for him, he will stay thirsty for her even then. Jodha turned around when she heard his voice just from besides her, with widened smile she greeted him back).

"Greetings your majesty"! I am absolutely fine"!

"Well then"! I wanted you to join me here for Chess"! Will you able to play"? It can get exhausting for you and I don't"!..

"That's alright your majesty you forget the moment you"! Caught i have fever i was at arena"! To practice even though i know about it beforehand"!.

"I know you can do it"! And that's why I wants to be sure"! If not for the Mansabdars and Jamindar's troublesome report"! And empire issue i would stayed with you to until you get well"!

(He spoke walked a little towards the sitting arrangements, with her by side, then coolly waited for her to sat first. When she did he sat besides her making her surprised, to play a game player should sit opposite to each other. But then she let it slid. And watched his actions , he clapped his hands. Soon at his signal, the pieces in the courtyard below them bowed to the imperial balcony, the elephants lumbering to one shaky knee at their mahouts’ command. Jodha was still Surprised how concern he was and his words if it wasn't for Empire issue he would been there, with her untill she get well touched her heart. "If this isn't love"? Then what is"? She thought then heard him).

“Are they not enchanting"? I personally paid attention to entire set up"! However you know we can play in room to"! But here this held different meanings"!

"Undoubtedly"! you left me amaze by this your majesty"! i am truly honor for being invited here"! Thank you"! And i know the meaning now"!..

"Says the one who left me amaze by her look everytime"!.

(Spoke Jalal unknowingly aloud, staring at her Cleavage which was peeking out of, gulping inaudibly staring darkly at the sight, he licked his lips, he didn't realise what he even spoke. But for Jodha it was murmuring sound, she didn't get to caught it. Hence she ask).

"Huh"!

"I mean to say "I am glad to see at least you valued it"! Unlike other's"!.who always try to find diffrent mean behind my actions"!

"They're not wrong"! In doing what you spoke about isn't it"? Besides I can talk with him"! And rest of them you can deal on own"!

"Yes they're not"! I always have reason behind every actions"! But everytime it's not Political diplomatic move"! I supposed this was I don't really regret it but"! I failed to comfort him"!

(He was happy how she caught the way, he was pointing at. Maan the boy he what he could possibly say to have him by his side. She know him better than he does, hence she can deal with him and the way confidently she said he can deal with rest of them. Speak her trust on his abilities it's warm his heart very much. Whereas Jalal words made sense to her she understood the point now, there's are few in empire being headache to him. And first time he want to get her opinion openly, in his own way but not don't want to come clear cut with his actions. Hence the ploy of Game, the game of Pawn isn't diffrent for her, but this was out of word for her to even take it at once. Jodha wasn't sure she could win here in this, but she was determined to give her best. Meaning give her best advise to him, she understood the last tine she met him she acted little out of her own self, and it wasn't right she can relay on him only no one else it won't be right to push him away. What she did won't push him away but such a action shouldn't be repeated. Jalal held two exquisitely carved Shatranj Shahs in his hand, one in ivory decorated with rubies, the other in ebony studded with diamonds).

"As i am host here"! I want you to choose"! Which one Queen Jodha"? Very rare it's happen when i let my opponent choose first"!..cause when i do"! It's always come under the eyes of Everyone"!

(Jodha nodded and realised he mean to speak about , Empire his way to choose Amer Bikaner against Merta and choosing Shia scholar against Fundamentalist Scholar's, most importantly Choosing Hindu People for Mansabdari, he did it already, it's just having wrong impact on few people. Infact the one he braced by such position seem to take it as offence. She connect his previous words with last and realized what he mean, oh my Maan even you"? She thought but then Without delaying Jodha , swiftly pointed towards his right hand which held The ivory king on palm. He let out a low chuckle, then spoke firmly staring at her).

"You have the advantage"! hopefully you use it well"! I am telling you cause"! you have habit to understimate yourself"!

(Jodha didn't said anything, The way to play the game was simple , they just need to call out for their moves and their head attender will relay them to Board. They both turned to the courtyard. The pieces all stood still, watching the imperial balcony without seeming to do so. The white piece stood to her right side, the black to her left Jodha waited for Jalal to make a move. And he did without wasting further minutes).

“Pawn to Shah four"!

(Bilal Khan stepped to the edge of the balcony, then called out Jalal's move. In response, the foot soldier, a eunuch in front of the Shah, moved forward two spaces. He did not look up at the imperial balcony or acknowledge the command. Very well trained, thought Jodha inwardly she truly intrigued by this game. But it was early yet. She made a similar move until their two Pawns were facing each other. Jalal again made a move to get some new by Jodha).

“Knight to Shah’s bishop three"!

(And she didn't disappoint him either, however her move was again a similar to his. First cause she was new second cause she want to see how he will proceed with the game further).

“Knight to queen’s bishop three"!

(Jalal then moved quickly, placing his Shah’s bishop four paces ahead of his queen’s bishop. Jodha matched his move. And he come to realise, She's learning this from him. He smiled inwardly sensing her egeranass but he was still Surprised by her humbleness to learn from him. She's isn't even trying to hide the fact, she's paying attention on him his move , more than on her own. And here even if he learn by her got valuable opinion from her he cannot give credit to her at all. "How ironic"! Cause if he do then he will be term as weak ruler, who is highly influence by women. In this he found the Hindustan culture more Appreciable, they doesn't mind to rule under women, they take pride in letting women be part of Every decision seek their opinion. Many of custom show how well they were respected and valued. Alas the increasing number of attack by invader change the set up entirely , they started to face restrictions and situation become awful for them. Sighing inwardly in despair he focus on the Game. Using a castling move. He watched as the rukh’s mahout knocked, on the elephant’s head and it neatly sidestepped two squares, the Shah whipping around the elephant. His Shah was now protected by the rukh and three foot soldiers. He heard Jodha spoke, not looking at the board but at him).

“Knight to Shah’s bishop three"! .

(He realised when he was lost in thoughts she was thinking as well, he watch her lips parted and she spoke further. Staring right at him with boldness).

"As far you don't regret yourself"! Others people action or words doesn't matter your majesty"! And you cannot focus on them always"! When you're going to face enemies outside as well"!

"Ignoring them doesn't help either"! They can shake hand with bigger enemy of mine"!

"Then chopped their hand before they can"! You won't be cruel in that matter cause you are already one"! Anyway your majesty You are taking too long"! Your move"!

(Jalal turned to the courtyard again, his mind now on other matters, then spoke with smile on face not offended by her remark of him calling him cruel one. Cause it's true his manipulative move in Merta and cruelness there prove him to be real devil. First he called out his move, commanding his rukh to move one away from his Shah. Now it covered his Shah’s pawn from capture. Then spoke turning towards her).

"You have moved so fast in retaliation"! I didn't get the time to think"!

"You're playing with me"! Your wife your majesty"! It's not much to fret"! But when you play with your enemy"! Don't take to long it's can cost you gravely"!

"Didn't expected you to play expertly"! On very first chance"! More over I didn't expected you to support my mean way's either"!

"I ain't merciful and kind "! when it's comes to enemies"! But I ain't mean and cruel when it's comes to my own people"!

"That's where problem arise"! I cannot diffrentitate between my friend and foe"! Even if I do they have power"!

"Not more than you"! You're Emperor"! You know it doesn't matter who make s move first in game"! What matter is who end the game by winning"!

(Of-course i am , and I understand"! he murmured, calling out his move. His queen’s bishop pawn moved forward one pace. So far they had played automatically. However Jodha had led with her advantage, as the opening player, but she matched his moves or mirrored them. She moved her queen diagonally forward, Jalal saw it but also saw his own Shah secure in its stronghold. Hence moved his queen’s pawn two squares. In response Jodha commanded her pawn to execute Jalal's pawn. Still unconcerned, he watched the black-velvet-clad foot soldier draw his sword and make a motion of slicing off the white soldier’s head. The white soldier fell to the ground, then slithered away to the side, where, for the first time, he raised his head and looked straight at her. Then he his pawn to threaten her knight. She moved it out of danger to Shah’s knight five. Jalal then bade his queen’s bishop pawn to capture the pawn of Jodha, and he watched the same drama unfold. Yet it seemed halfhearted, cause Jodha's black pawn almost , seeming to fight with his pawn before striding off the board. When the soldier reached the edge of the courtyard, he bowed to the Empress and she nodded to him. While playing the realisation dawned upon him, she talked about Outside Enemies"! How she come to know about it, infact how she even term the Portuguese as enemies. They seem to be only interested in business tradeship. Oh yes he heard about them taking control on Sea. But they won't be foolish enough to go on war with him"? Or they would"? Who knows anyway"? That can be dealt later for sure. However he knew better not to to ignore her concern either. She commanded her queen’s knight to trample over his just-victorious pawn).

"How did you come to know about it"?

"I have watchful eyes and attentive ears"!

"And a sharp tongue"! Maybe you forget to add"! Watchful eyes, attentive ears and a mastermind brain"! You match up with me"!

(Listening this Jodha chuckled , already gotten relax at his presence. And lost deep into the game, the meaningful talk between them was enough to have her focus on him as well).

No I didn't forget to add"! However your Majesty"! You don't need Traitors to leak information"! Sometimes innocent gossip can betray you"! And smart person can put the two together"! Who I am even telling you're expert in this aren't you"?.

(Jalal smirk at her words then watched at the far end of the courtyard, where the captured pieces stood. Two of his pawns, one of Jodha's On the board, her queen’s knight, which had so recently swooped upon his pawn, now stood defended only by her queen’s bishop. Which she would surely not dare to sacrifice also. A stupid move, Jalal thought but then hold on his thought for second, she's anything but stupid there have to be some trap to defeat him"! But what Where"? He tried to find the loophole but no. Henceforth he shook his head staring back at her).

“Knight to queen four"!”

(he called out, his voice harsh in the silent courtyard this time he don't want to lose but , e wasn't sure about his victory when it's comes to her either . He watched His knight moved, to swallow the her knight. When the pieces had settled down and the board stood still, except for the occasional twitching of a foal’s or an elephant’s tail, Jodha turned to him).

"Somtime what we take as victory move"! Is often step to led us to defeat your majesty"! But must admit impressive move"!

"Undoubtedly true"! Who knows this better than us"! We know and learned it hard way after all"! Now you're taking to long"! I ain't the only one surrounded by enemy queen Jodha"!

"Yes"! I well you're right"!

(She was thinking about his words ,but then come to present , She leaned over the board again, looking hard at the pieces. Then she called out with slight smile on face).

“Queen to king’s rukh five"!

(Making him looked down at the board, tiny beads of sweat dotting his forehead. The air in the courtyard suddenly seemed close. The sun had set, but the heat of the day lingered. Someone snickered; it was his Shah. All his pieces seemed to be smiling. Her queen was too close to his king, with nothing to protect the him but the three pawns. He moved his king’s knight back in a panic how could he just missed the detail darn, he was to focus on her ploy, to watch his own"? Shame it's not like he didn't lost in chess with her before. But in this game here when he have human in form of pawns when his moves are relay on board by attender. He didn't like it at all, the two can play game this is how it's always been talk distract and win. Peace talk give time to think and engage yourself with something or other, but in last action which made Victory your slave. Here to same thing was happening. But how did he let himself lose"? How just how was it her appearance her talk or he understimate her"? He was scrambling on the board and he knew it. But he was unaware what makes him miss it. He watch her as She killed his king’s bishop pawn, now her queen stood near his king).

"Check, your majesty"!

(Jalal took the goblet full of Sherbet, then pour bit on glass and took a sip, relaxing back on Couch. However he was anything but relax"? No a huge no he was lost in his thoughts "Where had he gone wrong"? Now he saw clearly , that she had offered her queen’s knight as a sacrifice, and like a fool he had taken it. He moved his Shah to the rukh’s place, his voice wasn't firm this time , as he called out the move he watched in despair, As she her queen toward his king again He was trapped. He took the queen with his knight. But there was no way out for his king anymore.he turned towards her, even though she's isn't looking at him but he could see her smiling, this isn't how he wanted the evening to go. But then he knew she won't go by defeat for the sake of his position or her relation with him. Like Queen Rukaiya or Queen Salima, it's not something he should regret but then he realised how she made him feel exactly the same way he made Maan feel. Now no word of diplomacy or fact can comfort him. To ignore his defeat tomorrow the news of his defeat would be all over in Agra, in few week entire empire would know, Abul faith Jalal Ud-Din Mohammed had been defeated by his wife. her king’s knight moved forward to Shah’s bishop seven. His king was now smothered, by his own three pawns and his bishop. A funny thought come on his mind, it's revenge yes she wanted him to to pay for hurting her Nephew hurting her emotionally. And she did made him pay just by defeating him in friendly game. It was again a lesson he got by her, even if you play with friend then to be cautious cause at game friend will give his best to make you see your weakness, where's in game with enemy he will strike on your weakness. A chuckle escape from his mouth stealing her attention on himself).

“Checkmate your majesty"!

(He put his hand into the embroidered bag, by his side and threw a handful of coin into the courtyard. They spun golden through the air before scattering on the ground. The Shatranj pieces scrambled for the Coins. As he called out, to them in his firm tone).

“Well done"! "You will be better rewarded tomorrow"!

(The eunuchs bowed and walked out of the courtyard. Jodha watched as the servants doused the torches on the pillars, leaving only two oil lamps, burning by her divan. She was still puzzle by Jalal laugh at his own defeat. But she waited in case if he clear about it on own. She saw him getting up taking a cue she got up after him. He forward his hand to her, with little hestitation she out her hand in his forwarded one as he clasp them strongly. He led her out as they come in the sight of beautiful Garden)

It's named on my Aunt"! Zahara Begam"! Did you like it Queen Jodha"? You know It's laid out by him"! He didn't like the heat of summer here"! Since he cannot return to Kabul he bring his favourite garden here"!

“Zahara Bagh"! it's is very beautiful, your Majesty"! And I actually if want to ask you"!“I wish to come with you to the jharoka"! Will you take me"?

(Jalal stared at her with unreadable expression, she never brace the court by her presence there. Only once she does that with presence of her mother, that to the special court but Diwan'e aam"? No she didn't only Rukaiya does. The jharoka was a special balcony, built into the outer bulwark of the Agra fort, where Jalal gave audience to the people , three times a day. In the early morning, with the rising of the sun, he presented himself at the balcony, on the eastern side of the fort, at noon on the south side, and at evening in the evening, as the sun descended into the west sky, on the western side. Jalal considered this, as his most important responsibility. But this was new for him to do as well he started this after becoming Emperor. It was here the commoners, came to petition him, here he listened to their appeals, important or not. It was more special than Diwan'e Aam. And in the balcony he stood alone, his ministers and the commoners below him. It cut away the pomp surrounding his crown, made him less of a figurehead on a faraway throne. Easy to handle in start with all those meeting and issue on head he failed to concentrate on this. But now he will be focusing there. Seems like Jodha comes to know about it to, but how"? That's the question worry him, she seem to go her own source here,he needs to know about it he will do so very soon there's lot to caught up with. But now"? Oh lord that's risky, but he will be doomed if he cannot fulfil her demand, he will be doomed if he fulfil it, it can displeased many people but then he's isn't able to please any of them much either. so regretting by not doing "? Well he's Jalal he prefer to regret after doing it!. Besides A part of him was impressed by her boldness to demand this, so other part him was concern for her, and little restless to "Is she getting drown in the game of power"? Will she change like everyone in his life"? Perhaps it's the way to test her"! Even if she failed he will never let her go away from him. Cause when it's come to meet her spend time with her, he find himself highly busy. As matter of fact he want nothing just to be with her, but there's more to do then doing what you want to do. However he was trying to read her, Is this what she really want"? Is to show off only or she really wish to take part in it"? What she's trying to do by this"? He was lost in thought while Jodha stared at him, she always been a fighter never she was being confined behind walls of restrictions. Much and thus was truly unnerving her now. His new wife his first wife both seem to got on her head. She don't want to lose from days she work selflessly to earn faith of people. She have mind to take decision for other's welfare, she have heart understand the sensitivity of others emotion their depth. Hence she trust herself enough to take a lead of her life. She didn't visited the court but she heard how many people always come there or how many person are allow by him to be there. She wanted this to but not merely as an onlooker and watch proceedings but take part in it. Her father never stopped her, her elder sister didn't stopped her either her people respected her and listen to what she have to say or what her opinion are. She wanted the same treatment here infact wanted more. But how to ask him will he fulfil it she's isn't habitual to take a no for answer either one way or other even she get what she want ,it's just she have very little wishes. But now she's finding her heart filling , with new wishes daily and it's as much excite her it's make her worry to. But all this worth if he agree and support her. But his silence was now getting her worry did she crossed the line with him"? Her heart sank with nervousness, she opened her mouth to speak but heard him speaking).

"It's never happened before"! No matter what or how strong relation women share in Mughal household with Emperor"! They're not allow for this more like no one of them ever demand for this"! It can cause trouble to me"!

"As Emperor you face lot of trouble"! can't you face little bit for me"? What didn't happen before doesn't mean will never happen ever"!

(Jodha smiled faltered when she spoke this, she thought it's over, by giving brief history description, he want her to take her words back on own"? . In her assumption she turn her gaze away from his face. If only she saw it she would saw his lips curved up-word in smile. Clouds began to move across the skies, blanketing the stars. Lightning flashed behind them, branches of silver light blotted by gray. Her hands moved back she clasp her hands together. Her change of expression amused him. He wanted to check her stubbornness in this and he got it, she won't budge at all she had made up her mind. Meaning almost nothing could change it).

"So you really want to do this"? Tell me will it rain tonight"?

(Huh he and his unpredictable questions, she least expected to get ask about climate. she gazed up at sky then with little mischievous glint she spoke. Staring back at him lips curved in mischievous smirk).

“If it does"? can I come to the jharoka with you"?

(Understanding her little ploy he nodded in yes, making her smile broaden, she to gave a nod and mumbled yes it will"!. As soon he heard this he watched , The clouds had now covered, the skies above their heads. They looked like the others had, fat and thick with rain, sometimes pelting drops of water on the city of Agra. And then, some errant wind would come to carry them away, clearing the skies for the Sun God to ride his chariot again. With joy she Unknowingly moved closer to him they walked close to each other, ahead of the rest of their entourage. Her Arm moved around his waist, where's his rested on her shoulder. The royal party moved slowly through the garden, shaded by mango trees. The fruits were near ripening, weighing down the branches with patches of brilliant, succulent yellow. When they passed under the trees, a swarm of green parrots rose squawking from their perches and flew away. In the center, at the meeting point of the four water channels, was a baradari, a pavilion built of red sandstone. It was a large, open building, with pillared, cusped arches supporting a domed roof. Despite the heat of the summer, roses, marigolds, and carnations bloomed around the edges of the grass, lovingly watered by hand. The central theme of all Mughal gardens was water; at placid repose, flowing, tumbling in a waterfall, seen, heard, or felt in a misty spray. Zahara Bagh was divided into four quadrants by the water channels that crossed from east to west and north to south, meeting in the middle. Hence, the gardens were called charbagh or, literally, four gardens. The channels were used not only to irrigate the plants and trees alongside but also to provide cool relief from the summer heat in the plains. Where Emperor Babur had just been a nomadic chieftain before the conquest of India, now there was an empire to rule, with a wealth of natural resources from the earth, jewels of unimaginable luster, and bountiful soil that gave birth to golden wheat and rice. But water had been hard to find, and before the monsoon rains, the tufan winds—terrible, parching gales that scorched moisture from the very skin—thundered through the country. So when he had built gardens that brought to his mind images of paradise, water had abounded. This was her first visit here, however it wasn't the place , it was Jalal actions he's being unpredictable like always but very warm to her. She realised one thing he respect her value her opinion and wish. He won't hesitate to credit her for her advise before the world. He don't see shame in doing that, but after all the things he's facing already. It won't be wise to give another reason to his enemy to insigate people against him. Hence he's holding himself back, And she thought only she's being bound by restrictions of royal protocol and custom for being wife and queen"? Huh how ironic even being Emperor he's helpless in many way's"!. However she wanted to know more , hence she ask this time directly ,no beating around the bush anymore).

“It is peaceful here"! But you don't look fine"! What's the matter your majesty"!

"I wanted to congratulate you on your victory over me in Game of pawn"! But no human could be happy on his defeat"! And share the joy with sinner even if they happen to be dear one"!

"Somtime victory come with no joy either your majesty"! However I like it here"!

"Well said but you enjoy your victory didn't you"?

"Partially I did"! I won't lie on it"! But Defeating you gave no joy to me either"!

"I wish you did lied"! it would satisfied my partially hurted ego"!

(Saying this he chuckled and she just stare at him gaping is he even for real"? Indeed he's she to smiled at him. But then he stared at her and turned around straight to her. She didn't noticed until a servant stood before her on left side, Jalal raised his hand, the servant step closer uncover the plate. As He took a necklace laid on Plate. She watch in amazement it was An elongated necklace (Rani-Haar). made of strands of pearls which has a delightfully effulgent pendant, that dangles at the end of the chain. Some of the circular pendants have eye catching big polkis and uncut diamonds. Only the color was different design was exactly the same of the one she gave away for Tax. Jalal got this when he come back to Agra yesterday, he was with Sir Adgha when he informed him what Jodha did. He would got to know about it later on in court but sir Adhgha thought it's better to let him know before others make trouble for him. By presenting this news in indecent way).

"Your Majesty"! I was"!..

"Shh"! nothing which belongs to you could be with other"! I cannot bear it"! So here this one for you"! I understand your concern"! and I am going to make decision about this"!

(Jalal gesture her to turn, Does he want to make me wear it by his hand"? Oh Well this is going to be embarrassing, but then slight glance around and she realised what he's trying to do, she's bold enough to get assist by other women for her needs, she's grown up under surveillance of maid servant soldier attender. Always her father mother infact even her brothers all of them, always had their eyes and ears on her. Either by the mean of spy working with her for her in disguise of helper, or her friends to know how she's doing "? what she's doing"? to ensure her safety, after them her elder sister did it. now she's in Agra with Jalal her husband. Here he's doing the same ,that's another fact he won't be the only one, to get updates about her, but others to who don't even like her. She wanted to let it happen, this time she wanted everyone to know the position , she held even without possessing any power, in court or empire. She know this can evoke a desire and ambition in Other wife of his. But Jodha doesn't care , cause she realised she's special to him. hence she turned around with confident Smile on face. Then let her veil down Jalal watch her in awe, she's truly a Beauty and she have mole near her neck on back, it's look sensuous to him. He raised his hand holding the necklace sneaking it from before he stepped closer. Then brought it up-word to her neck from front to back. In the process she could feel his hot breath fanning on her Bare neck and back, her breath hitched the minute his hand made contact with her bare skin he clasp the Neckless hook. Even being done with it he didn't step back he let his hands linger on her back for while, stealing the nerves to stay cool. Jodha had closed her eyes long back and standing behind her didn't knew about her facial expression. But he assume she must be blushing like last time , when he cockily caressed her waist before letting her mount on Hawaii. After a while of them standing still in Silence, enjoying the cool breeze of rain. Jalal was confident about what he wants to do. There's no doubt no hestitation either. She want to be with him in jharoka, she will have it there's no denying or backing away. However he got a plan to work on, a way to hit two bird by one stroke. Oh why he didn't thought about it, poor my enemies they will fret on one and I will steal the earth beneath their feet. And Maan you won't get away from me either. Smirking inwardly he hugged Jodha tightly , as if his life depend on her, his beautiful empress boon of his life , he don't know why she want this. But unknowingly she gave a way out to him. He will use it entirely. As if Jodha sense the change in his body posture she tilted her head to look at him).

"What you're planning now"? It's really make it tough for me to understand"!

"Don't exhuste yourself to much queen Jodha"! Cause you cannot fathom what's going on here"!

(Spoke Jalal smirking with flint in eyes, pointing towards his head, Jodha smirk back at him she was already facing him now. She waited for him to speak further but he didn't ,hence she stubbornly spoke to retort)

"As matter of fact"! I don't care what's going on in your mind"! Cause that's not place of my interest"! I care about this"!..

(She liked on his chest at left side on heart, then put her palm there sensing , the rise of irregular speed of his heart beating. she out her head on his chest wounding her arms around his waist hugging him she spoke).

"Cause I want this"! It's matter of my sole interest"! This is what concerned me"! This is What I want"! And your majesty "! I am the only one who is worthy to get place here"!

"Are you toying with me"? What's the matter with you"?

"I ain't jesting"! I truly mean each and every word I said"!

"Why"?

"Don't you know why"? Can't you see the reason behind it on your own"?

(She raised her head up and stared into his eyes. What they failed to Convey, verbally by tounge their heart conveyed throught the eyes to each other silently)
