Chapter 11
The next day Jalal went to meet Suraj in the office...the image of Jodha kept popping in his head...he wanted to make sure of what he saw was not true...he put his hand in his pocket and takes out Jodha's mangalsutre...he looks ahead and sees Suraj looking at him...(guys this could be seen as a symbolic...he is holding her mangalsture and right in front of the magalsutre is Suraj standing) Jalal looks at him and quickly puts it away...
Jalal: umm hi
Suraj: Hi...I didn't know you are married (Jalal looks at him) I saw you holding the magalsutre
Jalal: umm yeah it belongs to my wife Jodha
Suraj: ohh...you should've brought her with you
Jalal: she is no more...anyway let's go down to business
Suraj: ohh yeah...I am sorry my fiance still didn't get a chance to look at the designs...
Jalal: ohh no problem we can ask her when she comes in today
Suraj: she is not coming in today...she is sick
Jalal: What is her name?
Suraj: Its Rajni...umm anyway we can take a look at it together and go over other essential things...at night I can ask for her opinion
Jalal: Well I have to go to Delhi for my other work..so if you don't mind if I come with you so that I can make note of any changes and have my team work on it
Suraj: umm sure...that is fine..let's go than
Jalal (smirked..."I need to know what I saw was not true") Let's go

Flashback:
Jodha: Excuse me could you direct me to Mr. Muhammad's office
Sasha: who are you? (Looks at her from top to bottom) He is in a meeting right now...you could leave a message
Jodha: I am his wife...now direct me to his office
Adi: Jodha Ma'am sorry about that..She was away for a while and didn't know about Jalal's sirs wedding...you could come with me and I will direct you to his office
Jodha: Thank you
Adi: Here is his cabin...you can wait in there and I will let Jalal Sir know as soon as he is done with his meeting (Jodha smiled...she entered the cabin and sat on his chair...she opened his desktop and saw their marriage picture...she smiled...she waited for almost 20 minutes when she finally heard the door open..she looked up and saw that it wasn't Jalal)
"sorry I thought this was Jalal Muhammad's office"
Jodha: ohh it is..I am his wife..he is in a meeting right now
"ohh than I can give you the invitation"
Jodha: invitaion?
"yeah..sorry I forgot to introduce myself..Hi am Arman" (brings out his hand to shake)
Jodha (shakes his hand); Nice to meet you...I am Jodha
Arman: Jodha hmm nice name...anyway I am having a office party...
Jodha: ohh I will tell Jalal when he comes...
Arman: Ok well see you at the party..it is tonight...bye (He leaves...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside of Jalal's office:
Arman bumps into Jalal who was talking on the phone...Jalal's phone drop..
Jalal: Can't you see where you are going?
Arman: Sorry Jalal...
Jalal: Arman what brings you here?
Arman: I came to drop off an invitation to my office party...I gave it to your wife Jodha...must say you have a beautiful wife...
Jalal: How did you meet her? (Angry)
Arman: She is in your office...waiting for you...She is really nice...make sure to invite her with you tonight at the party
Jalal: hmm ok..I gotta go now...(Jalal walked away and entered his office and saw Jodha sitting there with her head down looking at their wedding picture on the computer screen...she jerked when she heard Jalal...)What are you doing here?
Jodha: Wohh main aap ke liye lunch laayi thi
Jalal: hmm...(He came near Jodha...and kissed her on her lips...he picked Jodha up by her waist and he sat on his chair pulling Jodha on his lap...he called the receptionist and told her to hold all his calls and not to disturb) Why didn't you just call me?
Jodha: I did..they told me that you were in a meeting and didn't know when you will be done..so I thought to bring the lunch to you instead
Jalal: What did you make?
Jodha: Aapka favorite Palak Paneer...(she gets up and brings the tiffin to him..she serves him the food) Ohh I forgot aapka koi client aaya tha...Arman...usne yeh invitation card dia tha aaj ki koyi office party hai uske ghar (Jalal hands make a fist out of anger) Maine kaha tha ki woh aapki wait kar sakta hai par usne baat nahi suni...(Jalal pulls Jodha by force...Jodha falls on his lap without any notice...she looked into his eyes which shot daggars at her...she got scared...) mmm mmmaaann
Jalal (holds her hair): Why do you always test my patience? I don't want to hear any other name from your mouth other than mine...do you get it? (She nodded her head yes...he lets go of her hair...he lets her go in such a impact that she almost falls on her floor if it hadn't been for Jalal to hold her hand on time)
Jodha: mujhe ghar jana hai...(tears pouring down her face...Jalal picked her up and put her on top of a table) Yeh aap...
Jalal: kya tum kuch kehene ke liye aayi thi?
Jodha (looked down): woh main
Jalal: Jodha...
Jodha: Its papa's birthday next week and we have to go
Jalal: And if I say no?
Jodha: unho ne invite kya hai...humne jana hai
Jalal: Yeah I heard you once...dekhte hai...(Jalal stands up...he picks Jodha up and brings her to the sofa...)
Jodha: Jalal mujhe yaha kyun...
Jalal: if you want to go to your papa's party there is a price to pay...
Jodha: Jalal please ghar main...koyi aa jaye ga
Jalal: tum bhool gayi ho ki yeh mera office hai...agar tumhe itni fikar hai toh ek minute...(He called the receptionist and told everyone they can go home..within few minutes the whole company was empty) Happy (he comes closer to her again...Jodha moves back a little)
Jodha: Jalal...no...(she tried to move back but Jalal held her feet)
Jalal: Jodha you are my wife...mujhe tum par pura haq hai...(With that he takes his shirt off and than comes on top of Jodha...he removes her sari pallu and starts making love to her aggressively)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At night both Jalal and Jodha went to Armans party...Jalal had his arm around her waist holding her protectively. His grip only got tighter and tighter as Jalal's pervious clients came up to meet Jalal. Jodha all this while looked down...she just stood there while Jalal talked to his clients. Jodha was getting bored at the party, there was nothing to do. She looked around and she felt sort of jealous when she saw this one couple lovingly holding each others hands and dancing away as if they are all alone and no one mattered.
Jodha: Jalal woh mujhe restroom jana hai...
Jalal: hmm jaldi aana...(he lets go of her...Jodha walks to the bathroom and holds her tears back...after few minutes Jodha comes out of the bathroom and bumbs into Arman
Arman: Ohh Hi Jodha...when did you come?
Jodha: umm just few minutes back...
Arman: What do you think about the party?
Jodha: Ohh its really nice...
Arman: Not as nice as Jalal's...that Jalal throws the best parties...(Jodha smiles...she looks around to see if Jalal saw her talking to him...she was relieved when he wasn't paying attention..)
Jodha: umm i have to go meet Jalal
Arman: ok see you around...nice meeting you again (he brings out his hand and Jodha hesitantly shakes his hand)
Jalal who was talking to his client became enraged when he saw Arman and Jodha talking and shaking hands...Jalal knew nothing...as Jodha was walking toward Jalal...he walks up to her and holds her hand and drags her out...he opens the car door and shoves her in...Jodha was scared at his anger...she wondered what happened all of a sudden..she watched Jalal as he came around the car and sat in the drivers seat and started driving home...Jodha all this while just looked at Jalal...she tried speaking but nothing came out of her mouth...soon they had arrived home...Jalal gets out of the car..the force that he slammed the door shook Jodha...he came around and opened her passenger door and took Jodha out...he drags her inside the house and throws her on the floor...Shyaam came running seeing this...he wanted to help Jodha but stopped when he saw Jalal looking at him with deadly glare...he backed up...
Shyaam: Sir
Jalal: LEAVE NOW!!!!!!!!! (Both Jodha and Shyaam jumped hearing Jalal roar like that...Shyaam rightaway left giving Jodha one last look..feeling helpless...he comes near Jodha...he holds her hand and picks her up...)
End Flashback!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suraj rings the bell of Jodha's house...she opens the door...
Rajni: Suraj what are you doing here now? Shouldn't you be at work
Suraj: I wanted you to look at the desgins before I make the final decision
Rajni: ohh come in...why do you need my input...
Suraj: Rajni come on you are my finance...and I don't want to maek all the decision myself now (she was about to lock the door) Don't lock the door...Jalal Beg Muhammad is coming too...he is picking something from the car
Rajni (felt herself falling down really hard...someone caught her on time...she looked up and saw her nightmare coming to life...smiling at her)
Suraj: Rajni are you ok...(Jalal was confused)
Rajni (gets out of his grip): umm yeah Suraj I am fine...("I have to pretend I don't know him...)
Suraj: Mr. Muhammad this is my fiance Rajni Kapoor
Jalal (was still confused... "she looks like Jodha...can it be her?") umm nice to meet you (he brings out his hand to shake...Jodha folds her hands instead and says namaste)
Suraj: Well than let's go over the design...Mr. Muhammad has to go to Delhi soon...
Jalal: umm I had recieved a call..I don't have to go to Delhi now..the matter has been handled by my employees...we can take our time now with this project...(all this while he looked at Jodha...she kept her head down)
Rajni: umm I will bring something to eat or drink...what would you like Mr. Muhammad?
Jalal (shocked by her behavior..."I know its you Jodha...I will make you confess") umm chai would be nice Rajni (stressing the name Rajni)
Rajni: Suraj aap kya legaye? (she puts her hand on top of his...Jalal saw that...he ignored it for now...)
Suraj: I will take Chai as well (she nodes her head and goes to the kitchen...)
Rajni (to herself): hey babaji aab main kya karoon...main yaha se bhaag bhi nahi sakti...mujhe Suraj ko aaj hi sab kuch batana hoga...(she takes her time making tea...just when she was about to take it outside she saw Jalal standing there)
Precap: Past: Jalal please I only love you...
Present: Jalal: So tell me about your family Rajni?
