Part_3
Razia left for the battle next day, and Altunia entered Delhi. He and Zaroon rode straight towards the palace.
Razia was inside her tent, she felt something strange. Yaqut noticed the change in colors of her face
Yaqut; sab kuch theek to hai na Sultan?
Razia; pta nhi Yaqut kuch ajeeb sa ehsas ho rha he, jese..jese hamare dil k do hisse ek dusre k qareeb a rhe hon
Yaqut; aapko zarur shehzade ki yaad a rhi hogi
Razia; uski yaad to har waqt ati rehti hen hamen, sare mehel ko sar pe utha rkha hoga unhone, aapko bhi kitna satate hen na
Yaqut; wo bache hen hamen bura nhi lagta Sultan
Razia; hamen pta hai, wo bilkul apne abu pe gye hen, har waqt bas man ki marzi aur kuch nhi
Yaqut; Sultan aapne kabhi btaya nhi, aap shehzade k walid se kab aur kese mili thi
Razia smiled,
Razia; hum shahi kafile k saath multan ja rhe the, tab hi hamare kafile pe hamla hua tha, aur phir hum sb idhar udhar bhaag gye, bhagam bhaag me hum kahan se kahan pohonch gye pta hi nhi chala aur hum kho gye, kafi der idhar se udhar bhatakte rahe, hamen rana marthand ne kaha tha k kisi ko apni alsiyat na btayen jab tak mehel ka koi insan hamen na miljaye, unhone hamen abu ki qasam di thi, isiliye hum bhes badal kr ek gaon me chup gye the
Razia smiled as she censored the actual first meeting of theirs
*****FlashBack******
Razia was tired of running she was messed up and very very dirty now, it was the time just after sunrise and the forest was all empty, she saw a lake
Razia; is waqt koi bhi nahi hoga hum naha dho k phir hi aage jayenge, is tarah to humse aur nahi chala jayega
Razia tied her dupatta on the trees and removing her heavy clothes she stepped in the water.
Altunia woke up, he was alone and he slept behind a huge rock, the sun rays falling on his face disturbed his sleep and she rubbed his eyes.
Altunia; ama sooraj miyan, mujhse tumhari koi khasa dushmani he jaan padhta he, ama jese hi apbsaraon k khwabh shuru hte hen tum aa k humen jaga dete ho, chal mirza, subah ho hi gai, ab phirse apni manzil ko talashne niqal pado.
He went to the river shore and washed his face, suddenly there was a huge splash in the water and he was all wet, and the his jaw dropped. He saw a girl in her undergarments, come out of the water, throwing her hair back, she was milky white, soft and the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, her skin glowed as the sun rays touched it. She saw him too, and like him she was shocked as well.
He was wearing only a dirty brown shalwar , his hair were messy and he stood like a statue staring at her. But even then he looked gorgeous, she had never seen such a handsome young man before, with such perfect skin and body.
They were staring at each other when suddenly the water waves hit her and she was carried to the deeper side of the river, and she didn't know how to swim, she started to drown
Razia; bachaooo
she was struggling to keep her face up, without thinking Altunia jumped into the water and swimmed as fast as he could and reached her, he pulled her above and held her in his strong arms, she saw him and then her eyes closed, she had fainted. He picked her up in his arms and moved out of the water.
He lay her down on the floor and at first he was blank, she was too beautiful, her milky white akin and rosy cheeks send impulses to him that he had to shake away, he had to save her life before he thinks of anything else. He pressed her stomach with force she threw up some water, but didn't wake up. He went close to her and leaned down , he stared at her lips, was he doing the right thing, but he had to save her no matter what, he closed his eyes and leaned closer, opening her mouth with his hands. But before their lips met, she started coughing. He moved away quickly. She coughed a little more and then opened her eyes.
Altunia; aap theek to hain na mohtarma?
Razia set up and nodded.
Razia: shukriya, hamari jaan bachane k liye
Altunia smiled
Altunia; do lafzon ki jaan ki qeemat, teen lafzon ka shukriya
Razia; hum smjhe nahi
Altunia looked at her again, she looked like a fairy descended from the heavens
Altunia; ama aaj subah hum suraj se gila kr rhe the, hamari pariyon ko humse roz subah door kr deta he, pr aaj to khud pariyon ki shehzadi k deedar hogye
Razia felt awkward and angry, she quickly took her dupatta that was hanging on the tree and wrapped it around herself
Altunia; ab kya chupana mohtarma, ab to parwane ne shama ko jalte dekh liya he
Razia; dekhiye aapne hamari jaan bachai uske liye shukriya, ab aap jaiye apne raaste aur hum chale apne
Altunia; is husn k saath is jungle me akeli gai na mohtarma to hazaron bhediye aap k peeche lag jayenge, hamari maniye, is sher ko humsafar bna lijiye, aap mehfoos bhi rahengi aur hamara dil bhi laga rahega
Razia; hum aapki diljoi krne k liye nhi hen
she was walking away but he held her arm and pulled her, she fell into his arms, he stared into her eyes and she was lost in his, his eyes had a depth in them, behind the mischievious spark was a deep ocean of true emotions
Altunia; aap bhi kho gayi na hamari ankhon me?
Razia looked away
Altunia; ama is gareeb ki jholi me Khuda ne anmol nagina daala he ese hi thodi jane denge haath se. Aap hamari maniye humare saath chaliye
Razia; aur aap pr bharosa kese krlen hum?
ALtunia; parakh lijiye jese bhi parakhna ho
he straigthened her
Razia looked at him from top to bottom, especially his eyes and his gaze, he was staring at her but not lustfully, he was just smiling and looking at her, like a naughty boy found a friend to tease and play with, but not like a toy he would break.
Razia; theek hai hum chalenge aapke saath
Altunia; hum jaante hi the, wo kya he na Mirza ALtunia ko ladkiyan na keh hi nhi skti
Razia smiled faintly, she didn;t know but her heart was pushing her to trust him, she went behind the tree and put her clothes on, she was not wearing her regular princess clothes, she had changed with fatima and she was simple now.
Razia; chaliye
ALtunia helped her get on the horse.
Razia; ek baat btaiye, aap hamari madat kyun kr rhe hen? humare paas to aapko dene k liye bhi kuch nhi
Altunia; hai mohtarma
Razia; kya?
Altunia; izzat
Razia; jee?
Altunia; is khana badosh ko log sirf dhutkaarte hi hen, humne aapko wese dekh liya, aapko ghoorte rhe badtameezi bhi ki phir bhi aapne hamen kuch nhi kaha ulta hamen apni madat krne ka mauqa diya, is izzat k liye mirza apni jaan de dega
Razia; aapki ankhon me sachai he mirza, hamare abu kehte hen ankhen kabhi jhut nhi bolti, aur chehra aur zuban kuch bhi kahen, insan ki asli parakh uski ankhon se hi hti he
Altunia; MashAllah aapke abu to bht unche khayalon k maalik hen
Razia smiled back, he mounted the horse too and the set off
*************************
Yaqut; aapne ese hi yaqeen krliya unpe? kyun sultan wo khatarnaq irade rkhte to?
Razia; Yaqut; unki ankhon ne hamen sb keh diya tha, aur hamara dil gawahi de rha tha unki naiq dili ki, hamari ammi kehti thi, dil kabhi galt nhi hta aur dil ki na suno to sb galat hta he
a man came inside
Man; Sultan lashkar tayar he aap aa k aage ki karwai ki hidayat dijiye
Razia nodded and they both left the tent.
~In Delhi~
Altunia and Zaroon were crossing the market when they saw a crowd.
Altunia; ama phir ye bheed bhadakka, kya museebat he
Zaroon; miyan utar k dekhte hen kya hua he
Altunia; haan chalo
they moved towards the crowd, and saw that the crowd was around two people in the centre
Zaroon asked a man
Zaroon; yahan kya ho rha he miyan?
Man; shahi kafila aya tha yahan shehzade apni khala k saath kuch le rhe the tab hi kisi ne kuch ghustakhi krdi, shehzade ghussa hogye hen
Altunia; konsa shehzada??
Man; Razia Sultan ka beta, Delhi sultanate ka waris...zubru..
and then what he heard shocked him so much he was stunned, his eyes opened wide and his heart raced.
"Man ki marziyan, marziyon ka mann, kuch aisa hi hai mirza rasheel fitratan" said zubu in style, and the crowd moved a bit, Altunia saw his face.
Man; yehi hen shehzade zubruddin mirza rasheel, delhi sultanate k chasmo chiraag, hamari sultante ki shaan aur sultan ki jaan mirza rasheel
ALtunia stared at him, shocked, the kid was standing in style, his head high, his lips twirled in a smirk, his face glowing, his eyes shining, his eyes, Altunia was blank as he noticed the kid's eyes, exactly the same color as his, and surprisingly even the same hair.
Altunia walked to him like a robot, expressionless, and sat down, Zubu looked at him confused
Zubu; aap ko kya hua he mohtaram?
Altunia; shehzade..aap..ye jumla, ye alfaaz? ye to hum..
Zubu; konse alfaz?
Altunia; man ki marziyan..marziyon ka man, kuch aisa hi mirza..
Zubu; rasheel fitratan, haan to? aapko koi taqleef he hamare alfaaz se?
Altunia; nahi wo..aap ne ye sab..kis se suna?
Zubu; kisi se nahi ye hamare apne alfaaz hen..ab hatiye aap..hamari khala jaan hamara intizaar kr rhi hen
he went away. Altunia stood up and zaroon came to him
Zaroon; ye kya he miyan? tumhara koi chota bhai bhi he kya
Altunia; ama miyan pagla gye ho kya, mushqil se 3-4 saal ka he wo, pr humse itna kese milta he, uparse adayen to dekho, shahi khandan k to bache bhi ajeeb hen
Zaroon; chalo miyan ab mehel chalte hen
Altunia; is tiddi ko to hum dekh lenge, hamare alfaaz churata he aur phir humen hi sunata he, ye aur iski maa, chodenge nhi hum
