Chapter 4

~Patna ~

Its the afternoon time , When jalal is having a walk in garden to relax himself but the very moment his eyes caught attention towards a scene where one young man (probably someone from king yudhistiv family) is helping his wife to put gajra(flower garland) in her braid which reminiscences him of one of his and Jo's beautiful past.

Flashback starts:-

Jalal was putting a beautiful motiya bahar(cataract spring / jasmine garland) in Jo's braid while humming a tune..

Jodha:- my lord, it's a long time that you sang a song for me .. please song one for me na.!

Jalal:- Now..? No, later..

Jodha pleading:- Arey.. please..for me..!! Else I won't be talking to you huhh..( turns towards opposite side with angry face)

Jalal:- haha..ok fine..

(Song)

Tumhare siwa kuchh na chahat karenge

Ke jab tak jiyenge mohabbat karenge

Mohabbat mohabbat, mohabbat mohabbat

Tumhare siwa kuchh na chahat karenge

Ke jab tak jiyenge mohabbat karenge

Tumhare siwa kuchh na chahat karenge

Ke jab tak jiyenge mohabbat karenge

Nazar chahati hai deedar karna

Yeh dil chahata hai tumhein pyaar karna

Tumhari wafa mein doobe rahein hum

Hai kya haal dil ka yeh kaise kahein hum

Mehakne lagega ho ho

Mehakne lagega badan yeh tumhara

Hum aankhon se aisi shararat karenge

Tumhare siwa kuchh na chahat karenge

Ke jab tak jiyenge mohabbat karenge

Hamein apne dil mein basaya hai tumne

Mohabbat ke kaabil banaya hai tumne

Agar tum na milte to hum jee na paate

Kise apna kehte, kahan dil lagaate

Saza Rab jo dega o o

Saza rab jo dega woh manzoor humko

Ke ab hum tumhari ibadat karenge

Tumhare siwa kuchh na chahat karenge

Ke jab tak jiyenge mohabbat karenge

Mohabbat mohabbat, mohabbat mohabbat

Mohabbat mohabbat, mohabbat mohabbat

flashback ends..

jalal's thought of chain got broken with Abdul's voice..

Abdul :- jalal I have send a message to agra that everything here is sorted out and we will soon leave for agra by tomorrow morning.

Jalal:- got job buddy..

Their attention moved to Abrar who came running towards them. Abrar while trying to catch breath.

Abrar:- jalall.. Abdulll ..that.. amaziinnggg ...

Abdul:- you either breath first or speak..

With this Abrar compose himself..

Jalal:- now tell us whats the matter?

Abrar:- do you guys know that somewhere near there is a huge celebration going on.! Today Hindustan's 15th annual fair is celebrated.

Abdul (with excitement) :- Really. !! Then why are we waiting here??

Jalal:- let's go then..

Jalal informed king yudhistiv about their visit to fair. And left for a new journey..

------------***********--------------

~ Bangladesh ~

It was a hustle bustle atmosphere, kids were running to eat ice gola, girls near jewellery store, women's bargaining on food & clothes Prices. Elder citizens and young mens near horse riding, sword fighting ..

Jalal , Abdul, Abrar(seeing happy atmosphere around):- How amazing the atmosphere here is ..

Abdul:- Reminded me of our old days(remembering their fair visit many years ago)

Jalal:- yes..(remembering how he and Jo enjoyed fairs)

Abrar (seeing them lost):- Are you guys planning to stand here the entire day? Are you willing to join the fair or not? Come on let's go.(and pushed both jalal and Abdul)

Jalal took part in the sword fight, abdul in horse riding and Abrar in archery. Then visited few stores where Abdul went near food store to grab few bananas since he loves eating , Abrar went to book store as he loves poetry,and jalal was gazing at every store when he notice a jewellery store

Flashback:-

(Joja in Mela)

Jalal:- Jo I liked this anklets for you ..try this .and gives her only one anklet

Jodha:- jalal ? Only one ? Where is the other pair?

Jalal:- The other one will be with me .

Jodha:- And why so?? Are you planning to wear anklet like me?? (And makes fun of him)

Jalal while coming near her ear:- When you won't be around then this anklet will give me peace and your memories..!

Jodha gets emotional seeing true love in his eyes for her and hugs him saying "I PROMISE YOU THAT, YOU WILL NEVER NEED THIS ANKLET TO REMEMBER ME SINCE I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU"

Flashback ends

Abdul carrying 2 bananas in his hand and 1 in mouth gave each one to jalal and Abrar.

Abdul:- I am dying out of hunger ..I cannot stay anymore with my hunger.!

Abrar:- same here..

Jalal:- let's look for a dhaba / restaurant to eat ..

Abdul:- yes yes ..let's go.

-------********--------

DHAABA*

It was quite spacious with proper arrangements..

Waiter:- sir what would you like to order??

Abdul: -Marag, parathas, chicken gravy, mutton biryani, mirchi Ka salan, fish fried, russian salad, fruit chat , khurbani Ka meetha else double Ka metha any desert and yes a water bottle..!! I only need this much..(as if he had ordered only 2-3 dishes)

Jalal and Abrar with wide shocked eyes:- we won't be able to finish all of these.!

Abdul:- WE.?? Not we, it's only my order now you guys order for yourself.

Abrar (with unbelievable look):- Will you eat all of these alone??

Abdul with Proud:- HAAN..

Jalal with smirk:- Really?? Well we both are not that hungry so we won't order for ourselves , we will share from yours.

While the waiter servers the dishes..

Abdul forwards his hand towards Marag, but jalal quickly takes it and servers half of it for himself and rest in Abrar's plate .

Jalal with innocent face:- oopss.!! I am sorry , I forgot that even you are here.. it's ok you take some other dish.!

With this Abdul forwards his hand towards Paratha's when Abrar quickly serves all of the parata's to himself and jalal.

Abrar:- Actually paratha is needed to eat with marag but you don't have marag so I suppose you won't need paratha as well..

Abdul:- hmm..and again Abdul moves his hand towards chicken gravy to which jalal again serves himself and Abrar.

Jalal:- since you don't have paratha, so eating chicken gravy alone is waste ..you take something else..

And again it repeats with biryani to which Abrar served it to himself and jalal

Abrar:- Actually chicken gravy is little spicy so we want mutton biryani

And seeing his friends actions Abdul understood about their teasing session and gets angry..

seeing Abdul's angry & annoyed face Abrar burst out in laughter and jalal smiles and pulls Abdul towards him and Abrar forcefully put a roll of paratha with chicken in his mouth.

Abrar:- now eat this , you gannet(bhukkad)

And trio complete their lunch having masti,chit chat.

Abrar:- Now let's go , we need to reach agra till morning.

Abdul;- but how?? I am literally tired and cannot walk anymore..

Jalal indicates them to a horse chariot and three of them sat in it but didn't find a driver

Jalal:- You both are very tired . Let me ride this chariot.

Abdul and Abrar in unison: - NO.!!

Jalal :- but why??

Abdul:- you might be tired as well na..(murmers) And more over we want to reach agra safely

Abrar in barely audible voice:- we no more want to get lost in clueless places😅 like a wandering bird

Jalal with stern face :- I said you that I will ride this chariot and that's final..

Both Abdul and Abrar knew its waste to argue with jalal. So both silently planned something ..

Abdul:- Abrar let's do something.. you stay awake and don't sleep !,And check whether we are going to agra only ..a..

Abrar while interrupts🤨:- why me? Why not you?!

Abdul:- first hear me out ..when you feel very sleepy then wake me up and you sleep .!

Abrar:- This will be ok .In this way we won't be lost like ALWAYS..

Abdul:- ok then..I am going to sleep . you stay awake and alert .

According to their deal Abdul gives Abrar the responsiblility of being alert and sleeps. After few minutes Abrar feels sleepy and wakes Abdul reminding him about his turn and sleep,and this process carry on till both went sleeping whereas jalal in his Jo jo land.
