Jalal's Diary

Jalal's Diary : Part 2

Hey Diary,

So, I think you already know what Jalal is. Anyway, as I have already told you, I'm here near Rajputana these days. Let me tell you what all is happening here.

Today, Shareef-ud-din, the subedar of Amer, had got a chance to serve me, the emperor. He had offered me all kinds of lazeez pakwaan, you know.And he he even wanted me to rest in the palace and, wanted to take my shamsheer in his hands, as if it was a burden on me. Such a stupid guy! It is Jalal's shamsheer, with whom I wrote my own destiny.....How can I let him even touch it? Poor guy was sooo keen on me eating something...And you know what?....I made him eat first. The changing colours on his face were hilarious. I love that kind of fear regarding me, in people's eyes. Gives me a lot of sukoon, you know.

Then, another strange news came to me. I was practicing sword – fighting, when I got the news that our troops had plundered a temple. I wasn't much bothered about that. But then they mentioned they would have done much more, if there wasn't that girl. A girl?...stopped my soldiers?....That pulled my attention to the convo. I asked them about that girl....One of them spoke up. He told me that she was the eldest Rajkumari of Amer, Jodha. She had even ordered her personal security to go and engage in the battle. A brave one! I see. Not many princesses would do that. The soldier told me that her beauty made everyone just stare at her. He started describing her, at the orders of Abdul. Her skin was so flawless, that you couldn't help but stare at it. Her body soo soft, one could sell himself to get it. Her doe- shaped brown eyes, could make anyone go crazy for her. Now, dear diary, This was his description of her, and not mine. I listened to all that in rapt attention. All thw while, carrying on with my moves. Once he finished, I stopped and ordered him to go. I turned to Abdul, and asked that Rajkumari's name again. He replied, Jodha. Nice name. .Right? Somehow, this name is familiar, or maybe strange. I feel some kind of connection with it.

Anyway, I had just forgotten all that. But then, the convo again came back to her. Khan Baba was quite angry by the fact that those Rajputs had successfully escaped from there. He was scolding the soldiers on the same. But, it seemed they had only one excuse, Rajkumari Jodha. They said that she was sooo brave that , on her one call, every Rajput became ready to fight. Now, I tell you, this girl seems quite interesting to me. Anyway, Shareef – ud – din, wanted the soldiers to capture the beautiful princess and bring her here. Another stupid statement of his. I made him understand that it would be our damage, if we had captured them. Afterall, they were only 20, and that too with women, while we were around 50, atleast. It would have been of no good to capture them. Ofcourse we'll get them, but after we win Rajputana. Now, such serious talks were going on, and one poor soldier spoke up. He began his rants on how beautiful she was and all that. By now, I was actually fascinated by her talks going on everywhere. I asked Shareef- ud – din if he had seen her. He said that he hadn't, but had heard a lot about her. That she was much more than just beautiful...That she was the diamond on Amer's crown....Now, I thought to go and meet her. You know na diary, such a beautiful thing has to be observed by Jalal.

Now was the time for another stupid statement by him. Really fed up now. He thought I would lose my heart to that Rajkumari, if I saw her. Now that was the joke of the century. I have no dearth of beautiful girls in my harem. But none of them ever won my heart. You know why?....Because...You need to have a heart to lose it.....And Jalal.....is heartless.

And now, I'm quite interested in meeting this Rajkumari. I have heard so much about her....That I have to see her now....Anyways, I have to meet the girl, who people think can win my heart. Let me see, how much truth lies in all these wonderful descriptions of her.......

Thanks a lot for reading. :)
