Chapter 32: Part 1

Jalal scooped Jodha in his strong muscular arms avidly while walking towards his chamber. Three days were too long for this cupid love birds; both felt overwhelming contentment seeing each other. His ravenous eyes were silently glancing at her heaving bosom. The deep intense love and sensual desire tangled together; he whispered, "Last three days felt like three years. I craved deeply to be with you. "

The way he sized with zealous desire; for a moment, she forgot her timidness and blushed at his confession. His tempting, inviting, lustful eyes, possessive touch sends a sizzling sensation to her core. When her ears rang with the sound of giggles, she came back to the realization he was showing his affection in public. In an embarrassing voice, she crooned, "Shahenshah, please put me down; everyone is looking at us."

Jalal smirked, seeing her pink cheeks; to make her more embarrassed, he leaned down and kissed her forehead. He responded blatantly, "Let them see; you are Malika E Hindustan. Everyone should know how much I adore you."

Jodha, with annoyance, narrowed her eyes and warned him in a measured low, mad tone, "Shahenshah put me down; you are about to pass Ammi Jaan's chamber. please put me down immediately." At last, she impatiently uttered.

Jalal chuckled; seeing her concerned face, he assured, "I should call you scared cat then wild cat; You are worrying for no reason. Ammijaan won't be in her chamber at this time; she must be busy with political or social work right now."

She sighed with relief and mumbled in a faint tone, "You are shameless."

He whispered in a fleshy tone close to her ears, "You have not seen me shameless yet; I will soon demonstrate to you how shameless I am. I want to take all of your clothes off."

His words, his passion, already began to stimulate her need for him. She beholds in his lustful eyes with lust.

As they were about to pass through Hamida's chamber, unexpectedly, Hamida came out of her chamber and saw Jalal carrying Jodha in his arms; Seeing these two love birds lost in each other, she smirked and cleared her throat to alert them of her presence. Ahh!!! Hmmm...

As soon as the duo noticed Mariam Makani's presence, they looked at each other with a stupefied face, and both felt like they were caught while doing a big crime. In a shallow dim, and embarrassed tone, he said, "Aadab Ammi Jaan..."

"Aadab Jalal, Is everything okay, Jodha?" She queried with a blank look,

Before Jodha could say anything, Jalal nervously replied, "Yes, You know, Ammijaan, how careless Jodha is? While playing with Rahim, her foot got twisted, so I'm taking her to my chamber." He took a deep sigh out with his quick wits.

Hamida smirked, seeing the relief on his face.

Hamida teasingly continued, "But why are you taking her to your chamber? Let her rest in my chamber today; I will take care of her, and also you just came back after many days, so you must have lots of work to catch up; I will call Moti and Hakim Sahiba both in my chamber." A hint of a playful smirk on Hamida's face was visible.

Jodha's lips curved with a perfect O expression. Now Jalal could read Hamida's face clearly that she was making fun of them. But he didn't have any other excuse left.

Jalal and Jodha looked at each other with a mortified glance. Jalal replied with a hesitant tone, "Ammi Jaan, Don't worry, I will...." but before he could finish his sentence, Rahim came there running.

With respect, he bowed down and said "Aadab" to everyone, then continued in a surprised and quizzically Shahenshah, why are you carrying Chhoti Ammi in your arms?"

Hamida answered with a sincere face, "Rahim, Chotti Ammi's leg got injured while playing, so Shahenshah is carrying her."

Rahim gazed at all of them with confusion and asked quizzically, "But, How can she get hurt? She was fine just a few minutes ago, and now suddenly, what happened to her?"

Jalal didn't even dare to look at Jodha, but he could feel her furious glare at him; Hamida was gazing at the couple bit by bit and relishing their embarrassed expression.

When no one replied to Rahim asked another question with frustration, "Hmmm... and Chhoti Ammi Jaan, you didn't answer my question. I want to know when you will give me brother?"

Hamida's smirk turned into a giggle looking at Jalal and Jodha's face. Their faces wholly turned pink.

Hamida replied in a humorous tone while glancing at the embarrassed couple, "Rahim, don't worry, my child, now I am sure soon you will get a brother. Finally, she left this couple alone and walked out with Rahim.

As soon as Mariam Makani disappeared from their sight, Jodha busted, "Jalal, Put me down. You never listen to me. What will Ammi Jaan think about us? Now put me down." She was fuming with anger.

Jalal smirked shamelessly and replied passionately, "Put you down... No way. Now we got permission from Ammi Jaan too. So, No chance of me leaving you until you give me heir of Mughal Sultanate."

After hearing his suppressed longing in words, her annoyance swapped with passion and yearning to be a mother. "Shahenshah, I won't let you leave me until you give me a little Jalal." While looking in his eyes, she also openly confessed to her curbed wanting.

The whole afternoon Jalal worshiped her sensual erotic body. Her shyness in bed aroused him to the extreme. Whenever he was with Jodha, the only thing was in his mind to please her, sate her and give her immense pleasure. Even though Jodha was not like enchantresses or beautiful heavenly sexy in bed, but she was the only one who gave him eternal feeling and contentment. Jodha was the only woman he desired to be with, and all of his other queens and concubine desired him.

They spend the entire day together. It was almost evening; Jalal and Jodha both were sitting next to each other on a couch. Maid interrupted this romantic couple and gave Jalal a message that Rukaiya Begum has requested him to visit her immediately in her chamber. She has an essential matter to discuss. Jalal responded, "Tell her that I will come to see her in a few minutes."

Jalal informed Jodha, he has promised Queen Rukaiya that he will spend tonight with her.

Jalal entered Queen Rukaiya's chamber; she was all dress up gorgeously; her chamber was decorated with rose petals and candles with a strong smell of Jasmine flowers. Rukaiya was standing by the beautiful mirror; she looked too cheerful; her face glowed in her happiness.

Seeing the decoration and glorious Rukaiya, Jalal slightly smirked and went closer to her; He stood behind the mirror with her while looking her in the mirror he praised, "Rukaiya, You are glowing today; What is so special, my dear?"

She looked at Jalal with a shy gaze and said in a low tone, "Jalal, what I am going to tell you today will give you enormous happiness."

It was weird to see Rukaiya's shy expression; it was out of character. Jalal responded with keenness, "Don't make me curious, tell me what news you have?"

She turned toward him and cupped his cheeks, and with excitement, she pronounced, "Jalal...call me Mariam Uz Zamani." A tear trickled from her eyes.

Jalal couldn't believe what he heard; Impatiently, he asked again, "What... did you just say, Rukaiya???"

While beholding his gaze, Rukaiya's eyes dazzled with more tears. With a gentle cuddle, she continued in a very emotional tone, "Jalal, I am going be a mother, and you are going to be a father. Soon Mughal Dynasty will receive an heir for this sultanate."

Jalal got stunned for a second; he again couldn't believe what he just heard; with the loud, joyful tone, he asked again, "What? What did you just say, Rukaiya? Repeat it."

Rukaiya, with a big smile on her face and tears in her eyes, gazed into Jalal's eyes and said, "Jalal, call me Mariam uz zamani; I am going to be a mother soon."

It took him a few seconds to comprehend what he heard. Slowly his facial expressions changed to calmness, then happiness, and from joy to extreme excitement. His ears started ringing again and again with the words 'I am going to be a mother'... He loudly shouted out of excitement, "Yah Allah... I can't believe it; Oh Ruku, my dear queen, we will be parents... his lips ... his face... his body... his tone... his every action suddenly got filled with enormous excitement. Finally, his dream came true after many prayers. As soon as he gained control over his emotions, he swiftly embraced Rukaiya tightly. Few joyful tears dribble out from his eyes.

He said in a loud and husky tone, "Rukaiya, I can't believe at last god has listened to our prayers, and finally, our wish has been granted. This palace will hear little kid giggling; Ruku tell me again and again that I am going to be a father." Jalal kissed Rukaiya's forehead with love. He felt complete and contended.

Rukaiya cheerfully said, "Jalal, I have called everyone here to share this exciting news, but before anyone knows, I wanted to tell you this good news."

Jalal worriedly asked, "Did hakim Sahiba checked; Is everything fine?"

Rukaiya smirked, seeing his worried expression. "Yes, Jalal, Just a few minutes ago, she gave this good news and informed me we both are healthy and nothing to worry about."

While gripping her tightly in his embrace, he stated, "Rukaiya, today you can ask for anything you want; you have given me the happiness of heaven."

Rukaiya shyly smirked and whispered, "Jalal, I want your entire ten days and ten nights. I want to stay in your embrace forever."

Jalal lovingly scooped her in his arms, then put her on the bed carefully and happily answered, "As you wish your highness; Mariam Uz zamani. Your order will be fulfilled; Shahenshah e Hindustan is ready to serve you, my dear." He kissed her on her cheeks and softly said, "Now you relax, Rukaiya, and I will take care of you. You have no clue how much happiness you have given me today."

Mariam Makani Hamida Banoo, Maham Anga, Queen Salima begum, Atgha sahib, Abdul, and Queen Jodha everyone walked into Rukaiya's room. Everyone was surprised to see Rukaiya lying on the bed and Jalal sitting next to Rukaiya, her chamber decorated with many candles and flowers. It was confusing for everyone why she invited them.

Finally, Jalal announced excitedly and gave the good news to everyone loudly. He hugged Hamida first to show his happiness, and while caressing, he said, "Ammi Jaan, I am going to be a father." Maham noticed Jalal hugging Hamida first, which gave her sting; this was the first time Jalal was giving Hamida more importance than her. One by one, he interacted with everyone joyfully. Jalal saw Hoshiyaar standing in the corner. He called him, gave him his precious necklace, and instructed him to take care of Rukaiya every second. Jalal's happiness was obviously visible in his sound, act, and aura; he was happy beyond words.

He announced a big Jashn to express his joy and instructed Atgha sahib, "(Donate money to poor people. Release people from jail; Announce everywhere Mughal sultanate's heir is going born soon. Not only in Agra, but I also want big functions in every state, and I want all kings, administrators, and common people to enjoy this celebration together." Jalal's happiness was evident in his every word; his eyes were filled with happy tears. He even didn't realize his repressed desire for kids suddenly awoke with loud cheers. He never admitted that he craved for his own kid, but his overwhelming emotions were clearly showing how desperately he was waiting for this day.

Jodha was standing next to Queen Salima, seeing Jalal's extreme happiness, her eyes filled with joyful tears. Jalal's eyes laid on Jodha, who was looking at Rukaiya with a genuine smile. After seeing Jodha, he recalled her wish to become a mother. He felt a little sting in his heart for Jodha. But as soon as their eyes met, her divine and genuine happiness comforted him. Seeing her so selfless, he desperately craved to take Jodha in his arms and share his joy with her. Jodha and Jalal looked at each other with intense love while their souls communicated with each other. Immense peace and contentment were visible on their faces.

One by one, everyone in the chamber personally wished Queen Rukaiya and Jalal. Queen Jodha, with all happiness, congratulated her. As usual, Rukaiya responded very coldly and ignored her as if she has not listened to her. Jodha gave Rukaiya the begum benefit of the doubt. She wished her again, "Queen Rukaiya, Heartfelt congratulations to you and Shahenshah." This time Rukaiya looked at Jodha and still didn't respond, which was noticed by Jalal.

He felt annoyed seeing Queen Rukaiya's rude behavior. Jalal walked to Queen Jodha and, in front of everyone, kissed her forehead and replied in a polite tone, "Thank you, Queen Jodha, your prayers have fulfilled my long awaiting desire."

Not only Jalal but Mariam Makani noticed QueenRukaiya's rude behavior. When Jalal snapped back at her while kissing Jodha in front of her, Hamida pleasantly smiled.

Rukaiya and Maham both looked at each other with a malevolence gaze.

Maham came closer to Rukaiya and gave her blessings, and said, "I am so grateful to you for providing this sultanate the biggest happiness. Now it is your responsibility to take care of yourself very well."

"Badi Ammi, When you are here to take care of me, then I don't need to worry about my security. Please be in charge of my safety." While holding Maham's hand, Rukaiya requested with teary eyes.

Of course, everyone knew Rukaiya and Maham were close to each other. Without any question, Jalal agreed with Rukaiya, "Badi Ammi, Rukaiya is right; her security is a primal need, and I can't trust anyone other than you. You were already aware of how much we all have waited for this news. So now Rukaiya's safety is your responsibility." He requested in a polite but assertive tone.
