Chapter - 16

They arrive at the Pandit Ragvendra's aashram...Jalal is carrying Jodha in his arms, her pulses were dropping precariously... she was breathing hard... Jalal could tell she was struggling in breathing ... he was losing his patience and sense by second...

Jalal impatiently yelled at the top his voice "Open the door..." He waited for a few seconds... He couldn't wait any longer for response so he kicked the door in an alarmed rage since there was no other wisdom left... It was middle of the night; everyone in the Ashram was sleeping in peaceful silent.

Jalal shouted loudly again "Can someone help me." With his roar... almost everyone in the ashram wake with sudden horror and shock. Main Pandit of the Asharam almost ran towards Jalal with little anger, but as soon he realize the situation and saw Jodha in his hand he understood his panicky attitude. Fortunately, Jodha was one of his shishya (student). He recognized her immediately.

Jalal with worried but pleading tone said "I have no time to explain panditji, I need your help... Do you have any hakim in your Asharm...? My wife has drunk poison ... she doesn't have much time left. Please help me, I will give anything you want, you can take my life but cure my begum. Pandit looked at Jalal with puzzled look. His tears and vulnerable condition was painful."

Pandit patiently requested Jalal "Please calm down child, put Jodha on the bed, I will try my best to save her." Jalal was surprise to hear her name but had no interest in any other conversation...

"Do you know how many hours ago, she took poison and when she lost her conscious?"

Jalal replied with anxiety, his entire body was shivering out of fear.

Pandit checked her pulse and eyes to see the impact of poison...his face expression turned in to fearful.

Jalal could see clearly Jodha was sinking, her breathing was short, she was struggling to gulp... she looked in terrible pain... he never felt this scared before in his life, he felt like everything has vanished ... he never imagine in his dream even that Jodha can take this drastic step. He was feeling so much suffocated and terrified, every minute he was asking Pandit impatiently about her condition... thirty minute passed... Jalal started to sweat in extreme stress... he recall his words... Talak... He recalled her last words... Jalal's was losing his patience by every second pass... Pandit, without answer quietly was treating her... Jodha's condition was getting worst and worst by every minute... her breathing suddenly slow down to extreme... her pulse were almost nil...

Pandit with frightened and troubled expression said in low tone "I don't think I will be able to do anything...I have given her anti poison medication to reverse the effect of poison... I don't see any effect yet... Seems like she has given up to struggle... her inner desire to fight has died... She doesn't have much time left... unfortunately; it is not in my hand to save her..."

Jalal couldn't believe what he heard and saw... his heart stated to pump so fast... his blood boiled up in worry, his anxiety was at extreme... he felt suffocating breathing himself. All of a sudden, he was losing his balance...his vision started to fad... he was not able to see Jodha clearly, in a next minute he collapses next to her bed...

He saw in his dream, he was running panicky in very dark cave, there was no one around, he was screaming madly "JODHA" his eyes were shedding unstoppable tears...deep down he saw little brightness... with his teary faded vision he saw Jodha was standing close to the light waiting for him to catch up...he ran fastest he could towards bright radiance... he could see she didn't cross toward light she was waiting for him between dark and light... he knew she was going away from him to unseen world... He sought out loudest at Jodha wait... He could feel some she was struggling to wait for him ...some unknown force was pulling her to crossover... She heard his loudest sound... she turned back with teary eyes and stopped for a second and shouted loudly so Jalal could hear her "Jalal, I don't want to go."

Jalal reached by her he tried to grab her hands but she was out of his reach... they were able to see each other clearly, Jalal in a pleading tone said "Jodha, Please don't leave me alone here, Please don't go..."

Jodha with enormous tears said in painful tone "Jalal, I am trying but I can't comeback from here, I have no strength left to come back but I will be right here waiting for you forever... till you come, you have to go back... you have so many responsibility to fulfill but before you go back I want to tell you something... after a brief pause she continued... Jalal, I love you, I love you more than my life and my heart and my soul is only your and I will wait for you till eternity...

Jalal with anger shouted "Jodha, you can't leave me in middle, you have to come back for me, what we share is love for each other...profound intimacy...what I feel for you is nothing can be deeper than this...I cannot live without you... If this is love than yes I love you... I love you more anything in world...Your powerful love has transform me, I will leave everything to be with you... nothing matters compare to your love... I have a heart and that belongs to you only... Jodha please come back...come back for your Jalal... Or I will crossover with you... Please give me your hand, I will pull you back and if I can't than you have to take me with you.

His words suddenly gave immense energy in Jodha, she forward her hands towards him with and Jalal swiftly grab her hand to pull her...

Jalal felt water on his face and heard Abdul yell; "Shenshah" Jalal came back to sense and saw Abdul worried face... He realizes he lost his conscious and he recalled what happened in his dream... immediately Jalal with anxious expression and with his all strength got up to see Jodha.

Pandit with cheerful and surprising tone said "Shenshah, this is a miracle...Jodha came back from other world... Suddenly medicine has started to work on her... She stopped breathing and her pulse was nil for about more than two minutes and all of a sudden she started to breathe again. With God's blessing she has survived and she should be awake in few minutes."

Jalal stress relived and with content feeling... with his hand folded he said "You have saved my life Panditji... Please, tell me what do you want? You will get anything you ask for it."

Pandit with smile said "Shenshah, thank you for this honor, but I really don't want anything. I have very limited needs and it's already fulfilled and I can't take anything from you since Jodha was my student. It's my duty to save her life." then Pandit put his hand on Jalal's shoulder with smile and walks out of the room with Abdul to arrange for medicine and their stay for the night.
