Chapter 25

(what it was his illusion or its true. Jalal smiled contently seeing Jodha admiring gaze on himself. he couldn't help but smiled warmly. he never get to express it but from so long he wished her to look at him like this. but with a joy to get his unasked wish fulfill he was bit curious to know the reason behind her sudden admiration on. himself that to openly. but he didn't say anything just walked to them. And raise his hand up to his chest a bit and spoke).

Jalal said : greetings mother.

(And with a slight glanced at others he greet them by his slight nod only. just like always his mother smiled at him and feed him handmade made by her. which he relish it with peace. after welcoming ritual got complete All of them made there way inside the palace all minster disperse to there work except Adhga ,Aziz, Munim).

Hamida said : by the look at you only we get to know you were injured Jalal that's why now you will only take rest. and I don't want any arguments on this issue.

(her voice was calm yet very much firm. for others it's like a mother wish her do. to take rest but Jalal knew it's something else. so he glance at Adhga Aziz Munim and gesture them to leave. while queen Salima left as well. only Jodha was walking besides him with Hamida but by Hamida look eve. she understood that mother son want private time for themselves. so she to walked away from there. giving a soft smile to Jalal. as soon she left).

Jalal said : what wrong mother...

(people say Jalal don't understand his mother emotion . but how wrong they are. he understands very well that's the reason he never mend his relation with her. because he fear to face the disappointment again. he get to know how his best childhood buddy loose his one leg and he wish nothing just to rush to him and have a word with him. but he can't why because his mother the grand queen of empire want to have word with him. sighing softly he continues to walk soon both of them reach inside his mother room).

Jalal said : are you alright mother.

(Hamida didn't knew how to and from where to start she knew whatever she will say can't be justified and it's not even fair to advise such a thing to the king. who need to fair with everyone. still she needs to do because she think it's right to do).

Hamida said : I got to know Sharifudien had help Abul Mali. and betray the empire.

(Listening this Jalal nodded his head a bit in displeasure. than sit on couch opposite to her mother. waited for her to say further).

Hamida said : as a emperor it's your job to punish the traitor... but Jalal you can't snatch the happiness of your sister... which you yourself had given her...by getting her married again...

(Listening this Jalal look directly at her mother. and it was not a state of surprised or calmness but his eyes held coldness. he look angry. but again thinking something he turn his gaze away. and spoke a bit calmly).

Jalal said : anything else you wish to say...

(listening this Hamida nervously looked at her hand than again with bit confidence spoke).

Hamida said : you know how much religious beliefs matter the most in empire. still you married the Hindu Princess. anyway that is fine as well. because it's not new. but do you have any idea. you had make many people against you by agreeing to her condition of not letting her change her religion.

(listening this Jalal got a bit surprised. but he knows better how to mask his emotion but he can't fool his mother knowing well what he is thinking. she continue speaking without looking at him).

Hamida said : people don't consider your marriage with queen Jodha as legal. I think you should do something about this immediately.

(listening this as well Jalal didn't say anything thinking she have more to say about it. and he was not wrong as well. no sooner he heard her voice again).

Hamida said :you are increasing the boundary of Mughal empire continuously. but now it's important that you think about the one who will handle the empire after you...

(Saying this Hamida got up from couch and about to walk out thinking Jalal is not gonna answer her anything. but get stop in her track listening Jalal words which were calm yet firm).

Jalal said :today you said it but from now on. you will not say this again mother. I am the emperor. whom I need to punish and whom i needn't to punish I am very well aware of it...

(getting up from couch with a slow calm step he walked near to Hamida and look at her with stern gaze).

Jalal said : Saltnat ulemao ke khyal aur fatwe se nahin riyaya ke badshah par aitbar aur baadshah ke bekhauf insaaf pasand jazabe se chalti hai.

Empire don't work on scholars view but it's goes on by people faith on there emperor and emperor fearless justice loving passion.

(before Hamida could say something to Jalal about his view Jalal raise her hand a bit to shut her up and continue speaking in same manner as before)..

Jalal said : and if I want the people of nation to accept me. as there own. than at least I have respect there emotion and religion.

(saying this he walked out of his mother room with a slight greeting. if by a mere soft admiring gaze of Jodha make him refresh and calm than now her mother make him feel disgusted. he own the people of nation allot specially rajput. why because they are the actual reason he is breathing freely as Mughal emperor now. his mentor Bairam Khan protect him later his Mahamanga feed her milk to him later. it was rajput of Umerkoat because of whom he get to take a birth in the world. if they hadn't given shelter to his parents. he may died in her mother womb only. than there may no empire of Mughal would be in this nation. now. and how can his mentor may protected him if they had no place to hid. all over in Hindustan the only secure place was for them to hid in a disguise was rajput place. and he now being powerful emperor can't even let them live in there own place in there own religion. make him feel disgusted he despise his few minster who think they are superior here front of the people who live in this nation. but he can't do anything why because if he go Against them they can even kick him out of Mughal throne without second. and the only one who can help him are the people of Hindustan. but because of his own army people absurd disgusting act they fear him and don't wish to be by his side. so he have to act accordingly to these scholars view. lost in his own thoughts he didn't realize again when he reached inside the room but he come to present by listening a light Sweet scolding voice).

stop your majesty you can't come inside wearing shoes.

(listening this he look at front and realize he get inside Jodha room his ever so favorite queen now. but than Understanding what he did he quickly step back and take of his shoes. oh did he really wish to come here no he wanted to meet Abdul. but now he will meet him later first he should relax with his lady love who occupied his mind allot from the time he get her in Agra. he didn't realize that he was so quick on his act to take of his shoe that it make the people in Jodha room smiled with a tease they glance at Jodha teasingly making her shy but listening firm order by Jalal in one word).

disperse

(all of them walked out and Jalal walked inside. and seeing her so smiling with a shyness by his direct gaze on her he smirk a bit and spoke).

Jalal said : greetings queen Jodha. sometimes back you were not even taking your eyes of from me. and now you aren't even glancing at me.

(listening this Jodha glance up at him and seeing mischievous glint in his eye. and naughty smirk on his face. Jodha lower her gaze and spoke softly).

Jodha said : greetings your majesty. I was just seeing that you are fine or not...

(listening this Jalal chuckled lightly and step near her than spoke calmly yet a bit huskily which did magic on Jodha for her it was very sensual sexy voice and it get to much when Jalal spoke just a bit near her earlobe. only).

Jalal said : By looking over dress how you will know I am fine or not. you will get to know when I am without dress queen Jodha...

(will anyone believe on Jodha if she tell anyone how emperor get so bold and flirt with her. no but that's true isn't his bold action and flirty words either make Jodha shy as hell or let her burn in desire for him as well. the difference is Jodha without even doing anything make him go crazy for her. while Jalal have to do things to make her want him knowing he is teasing her she try to create distance by stepping a bit further away from him. but no use Jalal by behind hug her tightly).

Jalal said : so if you wish i for your peace can let you know better way i am fine or not.

(by Jalal double meaning talk Jodha was getting very much shy and Jalal who was aware of it was enjoying her shyness very much. but while having fun with his lady love he forget that he didn't meet his first wife queen Rukaiya in his room like always. while Jodha who didn't knew about his as usual habit to rush to his room whenever he come at Agra palace always and meet Rukaiya first was enjoying his company).

Jodha said : don't you have to take rest your majesty...

(Jalal free Jodha from his hug and walked to her bed room area. while Jodha follow him behind. soon he sit on her bed Royally. and Jodha who was bit lost in her thought didn't notice but gasped in shock when Jalal pulled her by holding her wrist and make her sit in bed besides himself and before she could protest Jalal put his head on her lap and half lay on bed. and closed his eyes while looking at his face Jodha get lost and unknowingly her finger started caressing his soft black hair. her gaze was fix on his face while Jalal who knew this smirk inwardly. both were silent. but the silence was very comforting between them right now).

Jalal said : why this shyness from me queen Jodha. I am your husband you have right to stare at me. just like I have it.

(listening Jalal words Jodha get a bit surprised and Started looking everywhere except him. while Jalal chuckled lightly by her reaction to his words. after few minutes Jalal got a bit serious he spoke calmly).

Jalal said : what you think Jodha what I should do now.

(listening this Jodha look back at him and find him staring at her already. she knew what he was asking about as princess even as leader back in Amer she get to face this type of situation allot. where her decision can effect her loved ones. but she had to fair now same thing Jalal is facing. his decision will effect his sister for sure but as a emperor he have to be fair).

Jodha said : you are the emperor you have to take decision. but your majesty. one this is there that you make a rule you can finish it as well. it's not compulsory that you have to work accordingly to rule always.

(listening this Jalal started smiling he got it what he have to do. it's a rule to give death sentence to traitors. but Jalal was being hesitate to do it thinking about his sister's. but Jodha make him think about other way to take fair decision by which he can give punishment to traitors and it will not hurt his sister's as well).

Jalal said : you know even I thought the same but I just wished to know whst you will think about this.

(listening this Jodha get to recall her conversation with Maan in which he ask her didn't Jalal respect your emotions and advise. and now listening Jalal words that he wished to know what her view will be about it make her know that how foolish she was being to not accept the love of this men. who is her husband now and her best friend in childhood).

Jalal said : why you never give answer to the letters cone from.Amer.

(listening this Jodha look at him with a slight confusion and sensing she didn't get what he mean he spoke calmly).

Jalal said : whatever the decision your father had taken the take is as a king. you shouldn't been upset at him. Jodha.

(Listening this Jodha sigh sadly a closed her eyes not in mood to say anything but her body got stiffened by Jalal words. while Jalal noticing the change of body posture got up from her lap and sit besides her closer. but before he could say something more he heard Jodha low voice).

Jodha said : today no one has checked my room your Majesty. or else whenever you are in place everyday my room got checked. the place from where the people don't trust me on that place I had given as Statue of Defeat so don't i even have right to be upset your majesty...

(Jalal got shocked by Jodha words he didn't knew about this heck this never happened with any of his Queen. why only her room got checked than. he was angry now but he knows there is more Jodha have to say from the time she is in Agra he never get to heard any complain by her. but today first time she was telling him something he thought not to interrupt her).

Jodha said : do you know your Majesty. in Amer more than my enemies I have to be alert by my closed ones.

(Jodha look at Jalal and with a faint smile continue speaking).

Jodha said : specially from Queens of Amer and my sister's. because they never let anyone chance of to give pain to me. sometimes bawl of poison. so sometimes Asian attack by some other person. by any medium they get the way to harm me always.

(with each words Jodha was showing her vulnerable side to Jalal. she hug him tightly by side and continue soaking his dress by her tears. while Jalal without words just listen to her. calmly silently. not knowing soon he will become angry on his own people).

Jodha said :I never object whenever my security officer checked gifts given by them. because I was aware what they can do. but your Majesty why the same behavior with me here.. I never harm you. still your people don't have faith on me.

(Jodha break the hug and got of from bed walked a bit further. immediately making Jalal miss the closeness with Jodha. he to go up and about to walk near her. before he could reach near her).

Jodha said : your people don't trust me. but they wished hire for Mughal empire by me. your people don't trust me. but King of Amer very easily trusted on your vow. even after knowing and understanding very well that in politics the vow can be taken but don't get fulfill.

(A low soft but very sarcastic way Jodha chuckle lightly making Jalal frown and very much hurt).

Jodha said : you know your Majesty I made a mistake to think your mother as mine. I made a mistake to think your first wife as my friend. I know very well the by the work of person people get to know the character of person not by his name or face. but what I had done your Majesty that people can't think me as there own can't trust on me.

(a low sob escape from her lips she was looking very vulnerable now she is not like this to show her weak side to anyone. but Jalal is an exception he is her husband and after making a vow to herself that she will not care about others other then Jalal she don't feel embarrassed to get weak front of him she is tired to hide her tears behind the mask of smile. she is broken and it's time she let her guard down front of someone whom she solely belong by mind heart body soul vow).

Jalal said : you don't belong to our religion. you are blood of that Royal empire which is our enemy. you didn't accepted our religion. you didn't learn to bow down Jodha. these are your fault Jodha. In my people eyes no I said wrong not fault it's sin in there eyes.

(Listening this Jodha look up at Jalal and saw him looking at her calmly with a hint of sarcastic smile. and seeing her looking at him with teary eyed Jalal wiped her tears. and caressed her warm fair cheek softly by his cold palm).

Jalal said : but in my eye you are the angel send by God who will take me to my destination. you are the one for whom my heart was waiting for Jodha. you come and make me realize the existence of the heart whose heartbeat I had heard but didn't believe it exists.

(maybe the words seem so unrealistic and not very pleasant if a powerful emperor like Jalal will say but jodhs know he really mean it and it's make her heart warm for him to know she had her own place as well. in his life not only as a mere queen of a king or like numerous wife he had but as soulmate. the owner if his heart. without breaking eye contact with Jodha. he carry her in his arms).

Jalal said : people don't believe on you so what I trust you. for world my marriage with you is just a politic alliance so what I and you both know the truth. those who don't believe on you they don't believe on me and my decision. those who doubt o. you they doubt on me abilities.

(Jodha wrapped her one arm around Jalal neck while by other hand she was holding the neck jewel Jalal wore. all the while both were looking at each other eye to eye. she don't need to say anything Jalal knew he give her heart peace by his words. he walked to her bed carrying her in his arms. and it's take so long for him to reach near her bed and make her lay on it gently and without word settle besides her. he don't need to ask he can see the slight tiredness in her eyes he knew she didn't sleep at night being worrying about his well being. so was he both needed the time for themselves with each other. and that's what they were doing at least with each other they needn't to pretend what they aren't).

Jalal said : even after knowing you had no desire to marry me I married you. I did myself want your loyalty but I myself can't promise to be loyal to you. I don't want your interference in my life. but I myself can't accept your freedom. I am very selfish person Jodha.

(Jodha lower her gaze listening his words so that he don't get to know about her insecurity as well but he did he didn't liked her lower gaze and why will he when he think her as his equal. he lift her face by holding her chin by his forefinger still her gaze were lower).

Jalal said : look at me Jodha. I don't like your beautiful eyes lowered. because when they are lower I can't see my reflection in them.

(listening this Jodha become shy and try to turn away but Jalal didn't let her move and smiled slightly at her shyness it's not very hard for him to know her emotions. he knew if today he make a move they will definitely gonna take there marriage to another level. but he knows today she may give herself to him but that's not she wish by heart now she need his assurance his support. so instead of his actions. he let his word do the honor to make her confidence on herself. it's not like she is not confident she is but it's getting low by each passing day in Agra).

Jalal said : they loved as well whose love stories aren't in history pages. no matter how are you and who are you but you are mine only mine queen Jodha.

(Saying this He leaned a bit more closer and kissed her shivering lips by Sudden shyness. She look up at him when there lips were sealed by others she didn't knew what to do further but than within second she started copying his Action. He cant' Say it was perfect kiss he had but it was heavenly kiss for hims for sure. Her innocence can be easily felt by her innocent kiss. Jalal smiled at his thought that he is the first and he will be the last one who is owner of such a priceless gem Like Jodha. here he was enjoying his time other Side Rukaiya who was in Jalal Room like always waiting for him).

Rukaiya Pov :where is Jalal in the palace the news of his arrival had happen long back...did he went to meet Abdul... I should go and meet him as well...As I didn't meet him yet...

(Thinking this she Checked her cloths and walked out of her room with maid tailing behind her and as soon she walked out Of harem Security guard started walking behind her as well. lost in her own thought she didn't noticed someone is coming on here way and she collided with him. but get to compose herself soon. and without wasting a second she yelled at the person front of her).

Rukaiya said ; cheek how dare you come on my way...

(The men in Rajput attire got bit annoyed by the lady tone but As respective Person he smiled a bit and spoke).

Men said ; It's not my fault it's yours i didn't come on your way but you did...now if you move from way than i will like to leave...

(Getting Shocked and angry by Dare of boy front of her Rukiaya without wasting Second raise her hand to slap him but judging by the Cloth of lady front of him the guy knew she is Some queen for sure so Instead of holding her hand to stop before it's harm his Face the guys move back and Rukiya hand Swing in air only).

Men said ; the issue is not that big that you need to raise your hand on the Prince of Amer Maan Singh...and you are no special that I can't give you A Suitable Answer... But I am in no wish to waste my time necessary...

(Saying this he step aside and about walk further but stop in his track listening Rukaiya word whose anger got on Seventh sky after knowing there person who disrespect her belong to the clan of Jodha).

Rukkaiya said ; seems like you are not aware that you are talking with the first wife and special Queen of Mughal Empire Emperor Abul Fath Jalal Ud Din Mohammed...if I wish I can decapitated you...so it will be better if you apologize to me for your cheekiness...

(Maan was angry by now his young blood boil by the fact that the queen of Mughal empire is threatening to behead him for such a small issue not only that she want him to apologize when she is at fault. now he really Wish to know how Jodha is living between such a arrogant people. he was already in bad mood now She raise his temper. when he there guest and she is behaving like this with him. than how the people here behave with his Aunt).

Maan said ; we don't fear from death Empress of Mughal empire...the fault wasn't mine I will not apologize...

(That's it he got on her nerves without wasting a second she order her guard to arrest him. Maan may have fought with them but knowing he can't do that In Agra fort he let them arrest him. Soon With guard he started Walking towards dungeon. leaving Smirking Rukaiya behind but she didn't knew there were one person more who saw everything).
