"Jab bhi Jalal Agra aate hai , Peheli raat hamre saath gujaarte hai"She gave a wicked smile.
"Tum Shehen Shah ka intezaar kabhi mat karna, kyunki woh tum jaisi Nokaraniyo jasi ladki ke paas kabhi nahi ayenge"
"Hame toh Khushi hogi iss baat ki, woh Humse jitna door rahe utna accha" She too smiled at him
Ruquiya stormed off her Kaksh and Jodha sighed that finally she will sleep.
"Badi pareshani me lagti hai Ruquiya Begum!" Maham Anga mocked her, from Day 1 she knew Jodha is not any other Girl.
"Nahi, hum toh aapna kamra sajaane jaa rahe hai, Jalal ayenge..."
"Aapko lagta hai woh ayenge" Maham Anga gave a scarcitic smile.This girl had done much to her, Time for Revenge.
"Hame lagta nahi pura yakeen hai"
But inside her heart somehwere she was fearing that Jalal will not come.
Jalal at his Kaksh was Lost. Literally lost in his Khayals and the Khayals were of his Begum. New one!đ
How in 2 minutes she became Khaas for her Ammiijaan
Just One day in Agra and Daasis long to meet her
Did she knew some Magic?
Or was she...
It is night already!!
***
"Badi Ammi Jodha ko kahiye ko woh taiyaar ho jaye aaj hum unke kaksh me..."
"Gustakhi maf Shehen Shah, par Jodha Begum toh kabki so chuki hai"
Jalal was dissapointed, he didn't knew why but he was.
And he had so many Begums, but the thought that he couldn't meet Jodha dissapointed him.
"Koyi baat nahi Badi Ammi, hum phir bhi jayenge"
***
Jalal entered Jodha's kaksh with taking steps very cautiously and slowly. He din't knew why he thought his steps would wake her up
He looked at the beautiful face of her. So beautiful that the Shehen Shah himself was rooted on the spot.
***
"Badi der ho gayi Shehen Shah abhi tak aaye nahi" There sat Ruquiya waitng for Jalal to come, with each passing second her fear was building up
"Woh aaj raat nahi Ayenge Ruquiya Begum" Maham Anga entered with a truimph grin.
"Kya matlab hai aapka?''
"Woh aaj Raat... Jodha Begum ke Kaksh me gaye hai"
Ruquiya's Guroor crashed there and then. She was wrong that Jalal din't had a Dil. He had one and that was starting to Beat the song of "Love''
***
Anaware of this Jalal was there admiring the beauty of this firy Shehzaadi
He couldn't to much to her now, so he queitly slipped in the bed beside her and he didn't know when he slept gazing at Jodha's face.
***
No one knew how this happened but at morning, Jodha and Jalal were entangled with each other.
Allah ka shukr, it was that Jodha was asleep or screeching screams would have been heard
Someone outsider by seeing them would say that they had a Wild night, and that was what Ruquiya assumped when she went to see was Jalal really there or Maham Anga was tricking her.
They looked so contented in each other's arm, God the knew the moment they will wake up WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
Till then we leave them to thier privacy, not wanting to hear what will happen when They wake up and particularly when Jodha wakes up. But for now she was without a shikan on her forehead, Happy and Content!
