Few seconds later, Jalal smirked ro

Few seconds later, Jalal smirked romantically while thinking… ‘But how can stay upset with you for long… How will I control myself to not to talk to you and ignore you… I don’t think I will succeed to ignore you for long. Junglee Billi... I won’t spare you this time.’

Jodha was also looking at the moon and talking to herself at the same time ‘I know very well my dear tede Shahenshah, what are you planning and thinking with your tactical mind. Let’s see how long you can spare yourself from my beauty spell…’ Jodha blushed heavily while thinking...

The next Five days in Amer, Jodha got busy with her family and forget every pain in the last year she had gone through, she again became like unmarried... careless... naughty... innocent... mischievous Jodha...

She was running into the palace like a butterfly... she was teasing her brothers and Bhabhi like a little kid... fighting with sisters... Few times she secretly ran out of the palace and went for horse riding. She defeated all of her brothers in sword fighting... Like a young teenage girl when she got the chance she danced, sang… She spent hours and hours on shopping for her wedding dress... her overjoy happiness was clearly visible in her every action... Everyday palace bloomed with her melodious Krishna’s Bhajan... Nowadays, even while praying to Krishna, in her mind, she was imagining Jalal playing Raas (dance) with her... In her imagination faded picture of Krishna was clear...

About three days passed and people started coming to the palace to attend the royal wedding... Her eagerness was increasing day by day... Jodha started to blush more frequently than before...

Suddenly she became more conscious of her appearance... She picked every little piece of jewelry by herself... Almost all the jewelers and dress designer she met to pick the best outfit for her wedding... Entire night she was busy talking about Jalal... There is no way she could hide her feelings for Jalal... It was not in her control... She forgot her bitter past... only beautiful memories stayed in her mind... A message arrived that Jalal entered in Amer border... This message was like music to her ears... She was all dressed in green and red...

Jalal entered in Amer with many guests... More than five thousand soldiers... and five thousand relatives, friends, administrator and some kings... people were dancing excitedly... Loud drums, music and singing made it more exhilarating...

The entire path to palace was decorated with flowers... Amer people were standing and welcoming Mughal guests… Guests were enjoying so much dancing and singing they were at the same place for more than an hour, Jalal began to lose his patience...

He wanted to reach to the palace as soon as possible so he can see Jodha, but people didn’t want to stop dancing... Mirza and Maan Singh both laughed seeing Jalal’s annoyed and frustrating impatient face.

Teasingly Mirza said “BhaiJaan, aap to Bhabhi Jaan se milne ke liye itne bechain ho rahe hai... Hum to yaha kum se kum aur do tin ghate nachenge... Jum ke masti karenge... pure Amer ko bhi to pata chale... Shenshah aaye hai apni dulhan ko lene.”

(Bhaijaan, why are you being so impatient to see Bhabhi Jaan, we all want to dance for another two to three hours, Let Amer people know Mughals are not less in celebrating and Shenshah has come to get his bride.)

Jalal's face was looked shocked hearing three hours more dancing... With intolerant tone loudly he shouted at everyone- "Chalo sab yaha se... Mehel ke andar jake jitna nachna hai nach lena..." (Let’s move from here....Enough of your dancing, you can dance as much you want after entering the Palace....)

Man Singh... And Mirza, both laughed out loud seeing Jalal's frustrating state... Jalal instantly realized they were teasing him for another two hour of dancing... He tetchily pulled his eyebrows and gave an angry stare at them...

Both of them looked at Jalal seriously while making their face with a guilty expression. As soon as Jalal took his eyes away both of them started laughing loudly like little kids.”

Without looking at them Jalal knew both of them were laughing.

Finally they arrived at the door... Jalal's face was covered with sehra and he was standing at the gate in the middle, his one side Raja Bharmal, Mainavati and other Jodha’s close relative were standing and other side... Hamida... Mirza... Bakshi bano... Salima begum... Rahim and all other guests were standing. Lila (Jodha's best friend, please refer chapter 14) ran towards Jodha's chamber to inform her barat is at the door... Jodha with ghoongat on her face ran to terrace to see Jalal... Immediately she saw Jalal was standing there, but his face was covered with flower veils (sehra)... Suddenly her heart began to race up fast...

She said frustratingly “Lila, I can't even see his face, his face is covered.”

Lila mischievously smirked at her thought and said teasingly “To Ho Jaye Jodha.” (Soooo… Are you ready Jodha?) Both wickedly gazed at each other than Jodha took few small stones from the corner plant pot and aimed at Jalal... First stone hit Jalal's chest... Jalal noticed slightly, but ignored it... Anyway he was so frustrated with veil on his face, even he was struggling to look through the veil.

He murmured silently- "Yaah Allah itne sare logo mein kaise dhundunga Jodha ko..." (Ohh God.... How should I search my Jodha out of so many people over here????)

He called Mirza closer to him and slowly whispered- "Mirza... Tumhari Bhabhi Jaan dikh jaye to hame bata dena..." (Mirza, let me know if you find your bhabhi jaan somewhere.)

To tease Jalal, Mirza purposely yelled loudly- "Ammi Jaan... Aapko kahin bhabhi jaan dikh jaye to bhai jaan ko bata dena... woh unhe dekhne ke liye betab hue jaa rahe hai." (Ammi jaan.... If you find bhabhi jaan somewhere, then inform bhai jaan, he is being impatient to see one glimpse of Bhabhi Jaan.) Jalal stamped on Mirza’s feet harshly...

Mirza screeched in pain .“Ahhh”

Everyone began to cackle out loudly... Jalal felt a little embarrassed. Pandit started to mutter mantras for the ritual... Now it was Lila's turn to throw a stone, Lila aimed carefully and threw, but awkwardly, it hit directly on the Pandit bald hairless head... Panditji nervously started looking around and again got busy in mantra... Jodha and Lila both giggled seeing Pandit's confused face... Jodha took another stone and aimed at his face and hit right on his nose, but this time Jalal noticed stone coming from what direction... Instantly, he put the entire flower veil on his head... he looked upward in that direction... he saw on terrace Lila, who was cheering and laughing, and saw a lady next to her who was covered in a long veil… He gave a little smirk to Lila. Jodha was able to see through her veil, but not clearly… It didn't take him long to recognize Jodha... Jodha pulled up her ghoonghat till eyes to see him... Finally the moment came which both were waiting desperately, their waiting time came to an end. At last, their eyes met... both were looking at each other without a blink... Jalal's face glowed with blush after seeing glimpses of his Jodha... She contently smiled, tears ran down from the cheeks… She ran inside her chamber... She felt overwhelmingly excited and happy… her entire body shivered, her heartbeats skipped.

Lila ran behind Jodha and said “Jodha, why you came inside your chamber, it's time for Shenshah's welcome.”

Jodha playfully replied-"Tujhe dekhna tha na Shahenshah kaise dikhte hai sharmate hue..." (Lila... You wanted to see naa, how Shahenshah looks while blushing???) Jodha put long ghoonghat ... went down in main hall where many other women were there...

Jalal came inside through the Divan's main entrance... Mainavati did Aarti and softly Pulled Jalal's nose as part of custom... Jalal just blushed, then he bent down to get her blessings... Maina recalled the first time when Jalal came here... his attitude and this changed Jalal... Tears pierced out from her eyes...

He teasingly asked "Is there any ritual in which groom pulls brides ears???”

Mainavati snapped back at him “Ji Jamaisa, we do have ritual like that, but in that bride has to pull groom's ears, so he listens to her all the time.” Everyone started to laugh…
