***********************************************

It was a beautiful wintery morning; hot rays of the sun were mingling with the cold wind and making the ambiance pleasing.

When Jodha argued to rode separately on her horse, Jalal scooped off her feet without a single word and straddled around his black Arabian stallion in front of him. She pouted and asked, "But why?"

"You have two options, ride with me or palanquin. You still weak to ride yourself." With a stern tone, he stated.

She decided to keep quiet. Jalal ticked his tongue, and his stallion began to gallop. Jodha immediately stirred up both sides of the rein. Jalal's one hand cuddled her stomach, pulled her closer to his broad chest, and the other muscular hand controlled the bridle. In silence, both were enjoying the warmth of each other.

Both of them were feeling fresh and cheerful.

In the past few days, everything changed between them. They were perceptually feeling closer to each other than before. All of the events... Jealousy... Anger... Possessiveness... and even her suicide, turned out to be fruitful. Jalal realized that he does have a heart and belongs to her only. He decided to give her as much time she needed to accept him the way he is. He wanted her to realize on her own that love is not based on any conditions. He wanted her to love him the way he loved her; he was ready to do anything for her happiness, even at the cost of his suffering. He wanted her to trust him that he is hers forever.

She felt awkward and shy, sitting so close to him; his manly scent made her fanatic. His closeness was giving her a tickling sensation.

Abdul and all warriors were keeping enough distance to provide space for the couple. When Jodha was dying, all of the warriors saw how their King fainted and deeply fallen in love with Queen Jodha.

She got lost in the rhythm of the tapping sound. Her ears rang with Panditji's words; she is lucky to have a husband like him. In a silent, peaceful ride, her mind and heart also both felt cleared; she questioned herself, 'Why does she have a fear of losing him when he genuinely cares for her? It shouldn't matter if he loves her or not, but she loves him, and then why I have constrained myself in conditions. He wants me, and for his contentment and happiness, I will do anything. I don't care if he comes back to me or not, but I will cherish and live with those memories my entire life.' She again blushed but felt confused about how to express to him that she loves him.

Jalal pulled her a little closer to him and whispered in her ears, "Queen Jodha, What you were saying yesterday, that you can't see me with anyone else, Why? Do you know why you feel that way?"

She irritably thought, he is too smart and knows everything and is still asking me, he has not admitted his love yet, and he is playing with me to confess it first. Hmmm.

She looked back at him and responded innocently, "Shahenshah, I really don't know why I feel that way!"

"Oh!!! I know why because you are jealous." Jalal teased.

"No... No way, I am not jealous of anyone."

"Ohhh... I see... then why you were so mad at Kanika and me? I wasn't even that close to her." Jalal queried her to irritate.

Her chest constricted with envy as soon as she heard Kanika's name, she lost her temper and wits, she responded with fury, "Shahenshah, I just don't like Kanika, and don't lie; I saw how you were praising that devil Kanika. Ohhh, Kanika, I love your Rajvanshi outfit, and what a beautiful necklace. It looks so good on you. Oh, yes, you were surely playing with her. I don't even remember you ever said anything about my clothes. And also, how shameless you are, you took off your top without any hesitation, and that witch rubbed medicine on your chest. You know what." she continued in an angry tone. "I think you made a big mistake Shahenshah, why didn't you marry that Kanika? One more would have added to your list of queens; then you can call her 'Only yours Kanika'" Jodha protested without taking a gasp.
