chapter 15-lovely words
the ceremony ended on a good note and everyone was happy the way things turned out including jodha and jalal.everyone had retreated into their room.jodhas family had asked her about her changed dress to which she had said"bas humne use theek kar diya". everybody was fast asleep but jodha .she did not feel like sleeping.this day,after so many days,had been glorious.she was finally relieved of any stress,any plotting and any apologies.she just wanted to enjoy the night.she got up from the bed and moved outside.she expressed her happiness by twirling,dancing,swinging all around the garden.she was still in the outfit she had worn for the ceremony.the only difference was that she had let her hair fall loose this time.she continued doing what she was doing and showered kanha with innumerable thank yous.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
jalal was going back to his room after having a chat with atgah sahab pertaining to the rest of the ceremonies.he was back to his chipper mood.jodha had picked up the right spot to prove herself.jalal knew that jodha would now not do anything to break this wedding.his heart said so and he,for the first time,wanted to believe it.
he was returning to his room when he saw someone dancing in the garden.he was curious to know who it was and instead of going straight went into the garden.as he reached closer to the figure he recognised jodha.'oh my !how beautiful she looks 'he thought.Jalal stood there gazing at jodha and smiled heartily.the way she moved,the way she twirled made him loose his mind.she looked gorgeous in the green dress.her skin looked flawless and her eyes-those doe like eyes.he did not have words for her.
jodha was completely oblivious of jalal's present.she kept on twirling until she finally bumped into jalal. she panicked and slipped only to be saved by jalal.jalal held her tight and looked into her eyes.jodha grew conscious and looked elsewhere while jalal was lost in his own world.jodha tried to move but jalal's hold did not allow her to move.
Jodha-(softly)shehanshah
Jalal(still in a reverie)-ji boliye
Jodha-woh aap ne hume pakda hua hain.(hesitantly)
Jalal broke out of his reverie and realised how awkwardly they were standing.he stood straight and moved his hand away from Jodha's waist
.now Jalal and Jodha were standing face to face.
Jalal(normal tone)-rajkumari jodha aap is samay yahan kya kar rahi hain.
Jodha-wo shehanshah hume neend nahi aa rahi thi to socha baag mein aa jaye.
Jalal-(sarcastic)wo toh theek hain par kya aap aksar neend na aane par aise nrity karti hain.
Jodha realised that Jalal had seen her dancing and was abashed.
Jodha-wo shehanshah aisa nahi hain.bas aaj hum prasn hain.
Jalal-acha ab samajh aaya hume.khair chodiye aap ye nahi jaanna chahti ki humne aapko muaff kiya ya nahi.
Jodha knew that he had forgiven her but still asked Jalal in case :)
Jodha -shehanshah wo hum aapse poochne hi waale the.hum ...
she was stopped midway by Jalal
Jalal-humne aapko maaf kiya.
both of them stood laughing.
they were not alone there.mahamanga stood in her balcony and burnt with anger seeing all this.
