Part_2
Razia felt awkward and turned away.
"Dil?" she asked slowly putting a hand over her own heart as if he would take it away if unprotected.
"Haan mohtarma dil.." he replied casually
"Kis..kis ne churaya aapka dil?" she asked hesitantly
He came close and spoke directly in her right ear, "hai ek shehzaadi, phoolon si mehek hai uski, chaand sa chehra, aur lambi ghani zulfen"
Razia couldn't help but smile, she felt her heartbeat race.
"acha, zara naam to bataiye us shehzaadi ka hum jaante hon shayad" she teased him
"ama naam hi to nahi maaloom uska, aur wese bhi naam main rakha hi kya hai mohtarma hum to begum sahiba keh k zindagi guzaar hi lenge"
"Acha?! aur us se pehle kya karenge? Unke abu se unka haath kese maangen ge aap?"
"ama abu se haath maangna kis ko hai, hum to bas unhe kisi din utha ke le jayenge"
"Kya?!" Razia backed off, "acha ab hum chale jayenge aap ka shukriya"
she started walking away, Altunia laughed and followed her
"Are suniye mohtarma hum mazaq kar rahe the, aisa koi galat irada nahi hamara"
Razia tried to ignore him and kept walking.
"acha naam to bata dijiye hamen, mohtarma suniye to sahi"
Razia still avoided, Altunia had enough he pulled her arm and they fell on a bunch of hay.
"jungle me bhoosa? aapke abu ki sultanate main bht ajoobe hen" he teased
"chodiye hamen, aap ki diqat kya he ulti seedhi baaten mauqe pe aate hen phir gayab hojate hen aur ilzam maasum shehzadiyon pe laga dete hen dil churane ka" she was irritated
"maafi de dijiye shehzaadi sahiba, nahi nahi malika shaiba"
"malika?"
"hamare dil ki" he smirked
Razia pushed him and stoodup
"hum jaa rhe hen ab humse kabhi mat miliyega" she said in anger
"hum aapko jaane hi nahi denge, aapke abu k haath me jab tak hum apni amanat chod nahi dete hamen chain nahi ayega" he spoke as he streched
"abu ke paa? aap hamen hamare abu ke paas chodenge?"
she was confused now, he was changing decisions so quick
"nahi aapko apne saath le jayenge dar dar ki thokren khilane, ama ajeeb baaten krti hen aap, jab tak humara kuch hota nahi hum kyun aapko kahin le jayenge apne saath, abhi aap apne abu ke paas hi mehfus rahengi, chaliye ab"
Razia smiled and followed him.
"Hamara naam shehzaadi razia hai" she told him with a faint smile.
"Shukriya batane ka" he said in a sarcastic tone
"ek to hum bta rahen hen aur aap, aap se baat krna he fazool he"
And then something injured her foot.
"Ahh! abu" she cried in pain
Altunia got worried "kya hua shehzaadi?"
"hamare pair me kuch chubh gya"
"dikhaiye humen"
he carefully removed a small wooden stick from her foot, she flinched in pain again.
"baith jaiye kuch der"
"nahi hamen jaldi se abu ke paas wapas jana he" she insisted on walking but as soon as she took a step she cried in pain again. Altunia made an irritated face and then picked her up in his arms.
"ye kya kr rhe hen aap, utariye hamen, chodiye" she started hitting him
"chup! kabse aap apna hukum chalaye jaa rahi hen bas bht hogya, ab aap hamari sunengi bas, chup chaap rahiye agar abu k paas jana he to" he was furious now
Razia was silent now, no one ever talked to her like that, not even her father.
"humse koi ese baat nahi krta" she said innocently
"tabhi aapke nakhre aasman chu rhe hen" he said irritated
"ab itne bhi nakhre nahi hamare"
He smiled, "haan haan nakhre to hamare hen"
they both laughed and then were silent, Razia kept staring at him, admiring his handsome features in moonlight
"Jitne diler aur jaanbaaz hen, utne hi khoobsurat bhi" she thought, "aur khoob seerat bhi, bas baaten thodi tedi hen"
She recalled the qualities she wanted in her husband and smiled, and as she saw his face she blushed.
"wo dekhiye" he said getting her out of her dreamland
"kya?"
"wahan sultanate ke sipahi hen shayad" he put her on her feet again
"haan wo to hamare abu ki baggi he" she said in excitement
"chaliye"
Altunia's face dropped "nahi aap jayie hum nahi aa skte"
"par kyun? aap ne hamari jaan bachai abu aapko iska inaam zarur denge"
"aapki jaan bachane ka inaam liya to mirza apni hi nasron me gir jayega shehzaadi, zindagi rahi to aapse phir mulaqaat zarur hogai, tab tak ye rakh lijiye" he gave her one of his rings "aapki nishani to hai hamare paas ab aapke paas bhi hamari nishani hogi, jayiye aur aapko Khuda k waasta hum kon hen ye kisi ko mat bataiye ga, ab jaiye jese hi aapko apke abu k hathon me mehfuz dekhen ge hum chale jayenge"
Razia wanted to argue but she was confused, she walked slowly towards the cart and kept looking behind as she went, he was there until she reached her father.
"Razia hamari bachi aap theek to hen" Iltutmish hugged her tight, she looked behind again and he was gone.
"Jee abu"
"kon tha wahan meri bachi?" he asked curiously
"Raat ka farishta tha abu, hamari jaan bacha kr apna kaam pura kr k chala gya" and then she said in her mind "aur hamara dil chura k le gya"
