Razia was getting ready to attend the courtroom when Zubruddin came to her.
Zubu: ammi dekhiye na us Yaqut ko subah subah hamara mijaz khrab kr rha he
Razia; zubbu ab kya krdiya unhone?
Zubu; humne shanti se kaha tha hamare liye jalebiyan le k aaye, pr wo le aya
Razia smiled
Zubu; aap has rhi hen ammi, sab sahi kehte hen aap us Yaqut ki bht tarafdaari krti hen aur hamari bilkul nhi
Razia picked him up and settled him on her lap, she kissed his cheeks,
Razia; acha ghussa mat kijiye hum use 100 kode marwa denge theek he?
Zubbu; so kode? so kode se usko saandh ko kuch nhi hoga ammi 500 kode marwaiyega
Razia; phir to marjayega, phir aapki ami k kaam kon krega?
Zubbu; hum koi acha dusra banda le ayenge, jo badtameez na ho, aapko to pta he na ammi, badtameeziyan mirza ko bilkul pasand nhi
Razia was shocked, how did he?
Razia; zubbu? aapne abhi kya kaha?
Zubbu; badtameeziyan mirza ko pasand nhi
Razia; pr aap, ye jumla kahan suna aapne?
Zubbu; kahin nahi ammi humne khud se keh diya
Razia got tears in her eyes, "Badtameeziyan Mirza ko pasand nhi" the words echoed in her ears, she could hear him saying it, she could hear his voice in her son's voice, she hugged him tight.
Razia; zubbu, aap..aap
Zubbu; hum bilkul apne abu jese hen, hamen pta he ammi, ab saza ...
Razia; humne kaha na hum saza de denge, ab aap ja k Fatima se kahiye wo aapko jalebiyan khila degi
Zubbu; theek he ammi, hum Fatima se keh denge, pr hum jalebiyan aapke saath hi khayenge, aapko bhi bht pasand hen na
Razia kissed him again, and he kissed her cheek too.
Zubbu; ammi aap roya mat kijiye, hamen acha nhi lagta
Razia; jee meri jaan
he went away.
Razia went to the courtroom and was informed of the problems in Bhatinda, the people were not satisfied with the governor and wanted him replaced, Razia decided to call all officials from Bhatinda and make the decision after looking at all aspects.
Razia; wese Yaqut aap k khayal se kon behtar hoga Bhatinda ki subedaari k liye
Yaqut; kuch keh nhi skte Sultan, pr humne Ikhtiar-ud-din ka naam bht ziada suna he
Razia; unka naam to kabse hamare zehen me bhi he, suna he bht hi umda ladake hen aur siyasi samjh bhi kafi ziada he unhe
Yaqut; humne bhi kuch esa hi suna he Sultan, aur to aur, kuch logon ki manen to, Iktiyar-ud-din akele hi pura qila fatah krna jaante hen
Razia; hmm, esi baat he to unse milna hi padega, ye Bhatinda ka mamla haath se niqalta hi ja rha he jald hi qaboo na paya to badi museebat hojayegi
Yaqut; hum abhi paigam bhijwa dete hen Sultan
Razia; behtar hoga.

Altunia smiled as he read the royal message that was meant for him
Altunia; dekho zaroon miyan, bulawa aya he Delhi se, aur wo bhi khud Sultan ne khat bheja he
Zaroon; maan gaye tumhen miyan, tumne to sab apne man mutabiq kr dikhaya
Altunia; so to hai ab pta chalega Razia Sultan ko, k usne kis toofan ko khud bulawa bheja he
Zaroon; to miyan phir hum bhi unhe khat likh den k hum aa rhe hen
Altunia; haan bhej do, keh do hum 3 din me pohonch jayenge
Altunia was staring at the piece of paper, he seemed to be lost in it
Zaroon; miyan, tumhari mohtarma bhi to delhi ki rehne wali thi na?
Altunia; haan zaroon miyan, pta nhi kyun ye khat dekh k humen unka ehsas ho rha he, jese unhi ka bulawa aya ho, pta nhi kyun pr is me se hamen hamari mohtarma ki khusboo aa rhi he

Altunia; hum gye to the unhe dhundne pr kash tumhari baat sach ho zaroon, hamari mohtarma hamen mil jayen
Zaroon; InshAllah
*********************
Razia was staring at the letter that came from Bhatinda, she was getting wierd thoughts
Razia; esa kya he is khat me, itna ajeeb sa ehsas kyun ho rha he hamen.
Yaqut entered
Yaqut; Sultan ghazab hogya Lahore k subedaar ka qatl hogya he aur wahan dushmanon ne hamla krdiya he, hamen kal subah hi niqalna hoga
Razia; lekin Yaqut, do din me IKhtiyar-ud-din a rhe hen unka kya, aap jaiye Lahore aur koshish kr k sb suljha lijiye
Yaqut; Sultan, mamla paicheeda na hta to kya hum aapse kehte? aap se guzarish he aap chaliye
RAzia; theek he aap tayari kijiye
Yaqut left, RAzia looked at the letter again
RAzia; aapse milne k liye hum itne bechain kyun ho rhe hen, akhir kya waja hoskti he
she folded the letter and then put it in her big box, where all her valuable things were kept.
Zubu came to her with sleepy eyes
Zubu; ammi wo Yaqut keh rha tha aap kal ja rhi hen
Razia; haan zaruri kaam he zubbu, aap humse wada kijiye aap kisi ko tang nhi krenge
Zubbu; nahi krenge ammi
RAzia; aur sab ka khayal rkhenge
Zubbu; jee ammi
RAzia; aur zubbu, hamare ek khas mehmaan aa rhe hen Bhatinda se, aap unka khas khayal kijiyega, mehman nawazi me koi kami nahi honi chahiye
Zubbu; ami aap befiqr ho k jaiye Mirza sab sambhal lega
Razia; shabash, ab so jaiye aaj hum aapko apni godi me sulayenge
Zubbu smiled heavily and curled up in her lap, he put her head on her chest and she started swinging to and fro, she kept playing with his hair, and then she was lost, lost in familiar memories, when she used to play with the exactly same hair, the head on her lap and the mischievious smile on his face,,,,
~FlashBack~
Razia was sitting alone inside the small wooden house, it was freezing outside and she felt chilled, she had no warm clothes and nothing to lid a fire, the house was a weak one and she feared it would fall if the winds got stronger, she wrapped herself in the tiny blanket and shivered.
Altunia entered the house with a lantern in his hand
Altunia; bahar bht ziada thand hogai he mohtarma, aur raat itni andheri hai k kuch dikhai bhi nahi de rha, aaj to bhul jaiye aap, kal hi ho payega kuch
Razia; Mirza hamen bht sardi lag rhi he, aap, aap kuch kijiye na
Altunia; ama tum ladkiyan bhi na, ese kaanp rhi ho jese kabhi sardi ko mehsoos hi na kiya ho, tumhare ghar me kya kambalon ki khan thi
Altunia had no idea that she was a princess, he thought she was a regular girl who had faced the wrath of weather since birth, but Razia had never experienced it, her palace was always warm, she never knew Delhi and its surroundings become so cold.
Altunia saw her lips turning blue, she was shivering badly, she sat down with her and put his arm around her shoulder, she rested her head on his chest.
Altunia; apne haathon ko zor zor se ragdiye, sardi kam hogi.
She rubbed her hands as he said, the winds were slowing down and came to a complete hault in sometime, only a soft breeze blew and Razia felt better, Altunia made her some tea and after drinking it she felt quite warm, he lay down then resting his head on her lap and taking her hand into both of his, and kissing it gently.
ALtunia; humne aapse wada kiya he mohtarma, aapko aapki manzil tak hum zarur pohchayenge
Razia smiled and brushed his hair with her fingers.
******************
Razia wiped the tears and kissed Zubu's forehead.
Razia; ya mere maula, meri mushqilon ko kam kr, ta k me apne shauhar ko dhundne pe ziada dhyan de skun, ek maa aur ek sultan ka farz nibhate nibhate ek begum ka farz to hum pura krna hi bhool gye, hamare shauhar ne hamara tab saath diya jab hum bilkul akele the, aur aaj wo akele honge aur hum chah kr bhi unka sath nhi de pa rhe
she rest her head in the crown of her bed and sleep took over...
