Is It Hate OR Love? Jodha Akbar

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

After seeing her health condition, Jalal decided not to send her back to her chamber even though he was feeling defeated against his heart and his mind was clearly warning him not to give standing to this arrogant princess.

"I will take care of Queen Jodha for tonight; you may leave," Jalal stated to Hakima in a dark tone as if words were forced to come out of his mouth.

"As you wish, your majesty, Shabba Kher (Good Night)" she walked out of the chamber.

"I am going back to my chamber; I don't want any favor from you." Jodha retorted while squinting her eyes at him

Without responding to her, he just gazed at her blankly with a deadly stare.

After seeing his intimidating gaze at her at first, she got terrified, but soon she recovered herself and masked her fear. She swiftly got up from the bed with a courageous attitude, as if his scary gaze had no impact on her. She began to walk out of the chamber without uttering a single word. Still, due to the feebleness from fasting, she instantly felt dizzy again. Her vision began to fade, and she thought she was losing her stability and was about to fall on the floor, but at the last second, Jalal again caught her in time and carried her to bed in his arms like his precious possession. A deep line of stress smeared through his forehead, but he soon felt relieved when she opened her eyes. His eyes began to dance with humor seeing her embarrassing expression. He smirked at her playfully while putting her on the bed gently.

"Queen Jodha, I think you deliberately fall in front of me, so I carry you in my arms. Do you crave my touch? He asked her mockingly with a grin on his face.

She gazed at him embarrassed, little blush smeared through her face. While looking at his captivating chuckle, she deeply exhaled and thought, 'Why is he so alluring and attractive? His intoxicating aroma can make anyone crazy for him; why can't I take my eyes off of him? I have never felt like this for any other man before. When he held me near his chest, my heart stopped beating. His personality is so magnetic that anyone can get charmed by enthralling piercing brown eyes. He is so sharp, a quick thinker, and a manipulative player, how quickly he played in the function and fed the sweet to Queen Rukaiya without anyone knowing the real reason behind it. With his one-act, he showed everyone how he doesn't value me. At the same time, he pleased his favorite queen as well. He is a true player. When people surround him, his eyes only speak, and he hardly utters an unnecessary word, but when he speaks, everyone follows him blindly. He is brilliant in conversation; when we met first, he even made me a fool and found out my true identity, even I got charmed by him in our first meeting. Suddenly she realized what she was thinking; she quickly closed her eyes in frustration. 'Oh, Krishna!!! What is happening to me??? Why do I think about this heartless beast? And I have no other option left than spending the night with him in his chamber; I don't want to fall again in his arms.'

Jalal saw her helplessness on her face while she was deeply lost in thoughts.

"Today, my new queen will sleep in my chamber for the first time." Jalal teasingly said

"My unfortunate destiny Shahenshah... POOR ME, I will have to bear the torture of staying with you for the night." Jodha narrows her eyes at him.

Jalal gazed at her blankly, but his lips had a hint of a smirk, seeing her frustrated and irritated. He was enjoying bantering her.

Jalal slowly walked towards her and sat next to her on the bed, then sarcastically he asked, "My poor unfortunate, brainless, arrogant and stupid queen, I am asking you for the last time, do you want to eat something?"

Jodha's jaw clenched while gritting her teeth; she replied, "First of all, I am not brainless, and second you are the one who is asking me brainless and stupid questions. You know very well that I am fasting, but you are still asking me to eat food. Your majesty, just for your knowledge, people don't eat when they fast, so I will not eat anything till I do prayer tomorrow morning, so don't ask me again a stupid question."
