Yesterday we got to see Jalal and his bare feelings for Jodha. Today was all about Jodha's feelings for Jalal. She was enjoying all the attention Jalal bestowed upon her yesterday. Her face was glowing at the fact that she was someone very special in Jalal's life. I was thinking about her conversation with Hamida where she agrees to give their relationship a sincere try. Jalal was mostly clueless about his feelings (like us audience) for Jodha, till that manipulated letter came. He had felt chest pains, but we never got to see if Jalal understood the reason behind the chest pain. Our resident cupid MA is in great hurry to get the odd couple to confess their feelings. Her acceleration via letter manipulation and Tansen did wonders to Jalal. He immediately understood the reason behind his chest pains. Unfortunately though, the chest pains turned into extreme bitter heart pain for Jalal when his feelings were not reciprocated by Jodha. Now, our love cupid is working on getting Jodha feel the exact same bitter pain by getting Jalal to be distracted by Benazir. I hope Jodha you realize the reason behind the pain as MA is working extremely hard to get those results soon.
I was so glad to see a visit from Jodha inspite of MA poisoning her against Jalal. This only means that Jodha cares a lot about Jalal. She was restless yesterday as she had not seen the angry Jalal in a long time. She was not happy with the fact that Jalal was heart broken because of her. She did not like this changed Jalal and wanted to make sure that there was no misunderstanding. Just like Jalal, Jodha did not brood on the fact why all this worry for Jalal. Why worry, when MA is there to make you realize. She clarifies again and fails to convince Jalal about the letter. Instead she gets an angry Jalal who admits that he never loved her. He confirmed her doubts that it was only the physical relationship that he was after. Jodha's tears come out, she did not like the fact that she was one of the harem woman and not anybody special. Jalal shows satisfaction on his face as he managed to convince her that she means nothing to him. Did it really bring the peace to your heart Jalal by putting Jodha down? Ofcourse not, because as soon as Jodha leaves the sadness is back on his face.
MA is working double/triple shift to make sure that JaJo unite soon. She reaches out to Ruqu and requests her to leave Jalal alone. She is making sure that nobody is able to take the odd couple out of this mess she has created. Alas, can anybody change the destiny? MA will have to realize one day that no matter how much she tries to separate JaJo, it only brings them closer. Today, I was impressed with all the logical things that JaJo did. Jodha reached out to Jalal and Jalal confirmed with MA if there was no mistake in reading the letter. MA lies very convincingly and emotionally blackmails Jalal about him trusting Jodha more than her. That does it and Jalal tears away the last proof that existed. That tells us that the only way to solve this misunderstanding is by JaJo confronting each other with their true feelings. Does it mean these hate birds are soon going to turn into love birds?
Jalal and Ruqu conversation was so mysterious. I doubt if Jalal would have told her the complete truth about his feelings. But, atleast Ruqu would now know about Jodha's feelings for Jalal. She decided to not do anything about it yet, but wonder if she will pay a visit to Jodha again and question her feelings for Jalal. It would be great if Ruqu tells Jodha in that conversation that Jalal does not know how to read. This might get JaMoti to solve the issue of where the manipulation occurred. How I would love to see Jodha become Chanakya yet again to defeat MA. She could go to Jalal and tell her in a very sweet manner that MA misunderstood the language or something to that effect.
Jodha feels the bitter pain in her heart yet again when Jalal selects Benazir to sit next to him. She does not look at Jalal at all, but her face says it all. Jalal has two beautiful ladies next to him, but where is his gaze? Its only Jodha that his eyes want to stare. He is yet again happy to see Jodha's reaction. He wants the pain to be even more bitter and asks Jodha to leave the party. Jodha's tears are out and MA's hardwork is showing its results. I just hope Jalal does not turn into the same one as he did during MC. He was constantly attacking Jodha, till he could see the extreme pain on her face. He seems to be on a similar path again.
Precap: Poor Jodha wants Jalal to say something nice to her or be angry at her for returning the gift. But, Jalal is busy enjoying the reactions on Jodha's face. I hope Jodha realizes soon that 'usko Jalal ki har baat ka pharak padhta hai'. Once that realization comes, ask the next logical question - why?
