She put her eyes down and said - Jalal I went to the Bawarchi Khana for your Dastarkhan(eating arrangements) for the night but they told me that today the arrangements for your dinner will be done by the Bawarcchikhana of Hamida Begam . I did not believe them I confronted them that it could not happen that you will not tell me about this dinner and they are not well informed and I will cut their fingers if this information is proved wrong , but a Bandi of hamida begam told me that arrangements are being made for your dinner . I felt so insulted you should have told me...

ON THE DINNER TABLE

Hamida begam has areenged a lavish dinner for Jalal she has every possible dish on the dinner spread which Jalal use to love, Maham Anga has influenced Jalal's taste birds also so she is not sure whther she will be able to match Jalal's taste . Jalal eneterd in the Dastar Khan with a an announcement hamida was more than happy to see Jalal she almost came running to him jala did an adab to his Ammi jaan he washed his hands and he sat for dinner he looked at the spread and said

Jalal- Oh my god Ammi Jaan so much of food I will not be able to eat all of this though all of this is my favorite but still I can not eat this much.

Hamida- I know but I did not knew what you would like to have so I made the khansama to coock all of the dishes.

Jalal- Then I have come for everyday dinner for a month to taste all the foods, Hamida was more than Happy to hear this she had tears in her eyes. Jalal saw that and said

Jalal- What happened Ammi Jaan why you are crying did I say anything to hurt you. She wiped her eyes and said

Hamida- no jalala I am very happy today. Jalal I have not been able to be with you and Bakshi in your growing years, Bakshi still got the chance to be with me and your Abba in Kabul where as you was left in the guidance of Maham Anga and Adham Khan you have been through a lot my son.

Jalal who was drinking Halim looed at her and said you know Ammi Jaan I was angry on you for not being there for me when I needed you, so built up a connection with Bari Ammi Jaan .

Hamida- I know Jalal and you have not done anything wrong. When I was away from you she was the one who gave you the warmth of a mother and I am grateful to her for that .

Jalala- Ammi Jaan you have also been through a lot from being a queen to travelling in deserts , to being struved but you have never complained.

Hamida- it's ok son what I have done I have done it for my family my people and now I am living lavish life , but I only have one regret , your Abba huzur could see this flourished kingdome. Jalal who was done with his meal and was dabbing his washed hand on a silk peace of cloth sttod up and went to his Ammi and sat down on his knees. Jalal said-

Ammi jaan I also miss him I was very young when I lost him but I never really got to feel the sorrow , after his death I was assed to the thrown . Before I could understand anything I was in the battle field with Khan Baba , his teaching made me a worrier but I became heartless . Now I realize this heartless behavior of mine may have hurt so many people I have killed so many innocent people without any reason, I would not been able to realize this if Hira begam did not came into my life. Hamida who was listening to Jalal looked at her and said-

Hamida- You are right jalal she changed the life of us and also she has a influence on you a possetive one. So I am thinking of something

Jalal- What is it Ammi jaan jalal sat beside Hamida she said-

Hamida- I rhink she should be involved in Regular matters of Diwn-e - Aam , I would have suggested diwan-e Khaas but it is more complicated diplomacy .

Jalal- I don't know whther you will believe me or not Ammi Jaan but I was also thinking the same but there is an issue. Hamida looked with question in her eyes. She is not at all interested to get involved in political matters unlike Rukayiya. Hmaida smiled and said-

Hamida- You leave it to me Jalal I will convince her to get involved in the court. Jalal stood up and said.

Jalal- Then that will be great Ammi jaan then I will take your leave from now ammi Jaan allah hafis and Sbba Khayer . Jalal left hamida's room and hamida was very happy after a very long time.

In Bakshi's Hojra Bakshi has failed to stop Sharif uddin he is wearing his kurta back he has to go he was so much passionate with Bakshi that she heraldry sit , she said ok fine if you really have to go then atleast have this, she stretched her hands to a silver paan case but before she could reach to that sharif took that and opened it and took a paan orm it he loved the taste so he took another one he smiled and did an adab to Bakshi when he was about to leave his head turned and before he can realize he fall on the bed and fall asleep.

Bakshi- I am Sorry but I had to do this to save your life because I love you very much.

Next morning Maham Anga came to know about the dinner and the conversation jalal had with his mother she was not at all happy she decided to talk with Jalal regarding Hira's interference in Diwan e- AAm . She was going to meet jalal when she saw hira doing a Suriya Namaskar and offering water to sun. She walked to her Hira did a Pranam to Suriya and turned.

Hira- Pranam Wazir-e Aliya so glad to see you. Maham Anga looked at her and smiled back and said-

Maham- Ya you should be glad I think you also want to be a actie part of politics . Hira put the silver water container on a corner and said-

Hira- Please sit wand why do you think so? Maham again gave a cold look to her and said because-you are trying to get in good books of malika-e Aliya she holds a strong position in the court. Hira smiled she can sense it that Maham was insecure that she was losing a grip on Jalal. Hira smiled and said -

Hira- She is my mother in law to keep my relations strong with my husband I have to be close to her after all no matter what people say but no one can deny the truth that Malika-e-aliya is Sehensha's biological mother, this statement from Hira made Maham Anga angry and she said in a bit loud voice

Maham- To become a mother it is not enough to give birth you have to protect your child , which I have done not Mlika-e Aliya . Hira looked around the Dassi and Bandis were there she decided she had to protest but with intelligence she said with a smile

Hira- I know and we all appreciate that but we also have to appreciate that she sacrificed her love for her child for his safety, She could have been took him and traveled with him, but then it would have been a life risk for Sehensha and above all he would not have got the guidance which made him the warrior and administrator that he is today , so she has made a big scarifies which is not easy. I am not letting down anyone but I think it's time that Sehensha realize that there are other people who are Behind him who demands equal respect and attention. Now I will take your leave I have some work Pranam, she stood up and turned and left the place and Maham Anga fuming.

PRECAP

THE SADEST AND THE DARKEST DAY OF JALAL'S LIFE.
