(Jalal continue moving ahead, while the people danced in joy around him, the Men fixed his bow, and targeted it on his way, soon enough watching him straight before his Arrow point, he released it from Bow, the Arrow made it's way directly to Jalal, however instead of hitting him, the arrow hit the boy who come to take his blessing before him. Jalal got stunned everything went still in silence, he immidately bend down to caught the boy from falling down on ground. And glance up before, the guards run towards the attacker to caught him. Immidately alert by the happening, Jalal look back the boy, who was now spitting blood from his mouth, the arrow stuck on his back and coming out of his chest through heart. Till the soldier could come for the boy's aid, he breath his last, smiling at Jalal with folded hands, the last thing he said was Akbar. He gave an trustworthy smile to him which full of agony, a lump formed on his throat as he failed to watch. Him anymore, his dress soaked in his blood but he didn't cared. With grim smile on face he closed the eyes of boy, then stared ahead unfortunately the attacker died as well cause he ate poison before the soldier could caught him. The soldier took the boy away, and rest of them insist Jalal to go back to palace but he didn't, he refused to go and watch the investigation, the soldiers in row were now checking this procedure , it's should been done before"! To prevent unfortunate incident as such what's the use of doing it now"? Thought Jalal then spoke).

"Let all of them go"!

"But your majesty"!

"Just do as I command"! without cross question"!

(The soldiers in chief nodded and then guided the people to leave, but he himself didn't move from the place at all, untill the entire place got vacated, by people he glance around and cursed his enemies for ruining entire joyous occasion, he glance back at Jharoka, only Jodha was standing all of ladies left back to palace. Sighing inwardly he proceed to walk towards her way, but halted on steps cause something pricked on his right soles tearing through his shoe, he look down, then glance at sideways, the servant rush to him bending on right knee he , he put Jalal foot on his left knee, Jalal took out his hand on his shoulder to stand, and waited for him to get done. The men then swiftly drew the thorn out. A pain shot on his soles, but ignoring it , he walked ahead, to reach Jharoka by stairs, the noble scholar adviser Mansabdars almost everyone of them left only soldiers were standing. Jodha stared at him sense little oddness on his look, concerned she rush up to him).

"Are you alright "? your majesty"!..

"Perhaps not"! "I wanted to surprise you"! But see my enemies surprised me"!

"We will talk later on"! we have enough time for that"! "let's head back to palace"!

"Do we really have time"?

(Asked Jalal , his words alarmed Jodha, she glance up at him, then shook her head instead of answering him. She continues to walk, with him, his one arm sneaked around her waist, while other was holding her hand. He was Almost leaning on her. Ignoring the look of soldier, and servants on their way. Just like he did at night , when they were walking in garden. Not to others than at least people working close with him, should be aware about the place she held in her life. With her he break almost every protocol or custom even trying best not to. In royal family the Public display of affection wasn't appreciable ever. now to however Jalal didn't cared about it anymore, as far he's happy and enjoying he don't bother about it. His view is simple when you didn't get Embarrassed , learning you got certain special feeling in heart for specific person"! Then why to get Embarrassed in making it evident"? Or make them feel special stop yourself from enjoying the moments"? And Jodha didn't disagree on it either. However today Jodha knew something is wrong with him, the walk isn't like previous one, more than walking he's letting her lead him back to palace. Seeking her support but not letting himself completely depend on her either, after while when they reach the room, Jalal turned her around then spoke staring directly at her, all the while when they walked Jodha wasn't able to look up at him. But now when she did her heart cried out in fear. His face had turned pale).
