chapter 13: CONSPIRACY

Ruqaiya says, " Motibai! Call the Royal healer and salima begum now itself.... And bring the food served to the princess and gul..... Ask them not to feed the food to anyone else! "
She felt strange about the happenings....
Salima comes, " Ruqaiya, what happened? "
She narrated the entire incident.....
Ruqaiya says, " I feel something wrong here,-"
The Royal healer comes in and checks on the princess and gives her some medicines.... And checks the food too"
( she smells and put them in water containing something)

Ruqaiya asks, " Why is the princess in this state, hakima sahiba? "
She replies, " Mallika-e-hind! Give me some more minutes to tell you what happened! "
They wait like that for half a day.....the healer keeps on testing the food with many things..... But still bakshi had not opened her eyes.....

The emperor, his mother, husband of the princess, maham anga all came one after other after coming to know about the incident..... They were all worried....

The Royal healer comes to them who are waiting outside the chamber....
The emperor asks, " Did you find anything hakima? "
The Royal healer replies, " I m sorry that it took so much time shehensha! But i wanted to just confirm my diagnosis.... The problem is serious! "
Hamida asks by keeping her hand in her chest, " What is it? "
She replies, " The princess was fed with opium! "
They were all shocked.... Salima kept hand on her mouth....
The emperor asks, " How can that happen? Having it for single time would cause this? "
She replies, " No shehensha, by looking at her condition I think she was having this drug long back itself.... Maybe the doses were increased day by day which can result in this condition! Did u people notice any change? "
Ruqaiya remembers, " She was looking tired in the past days... And-- baby! Hakima sahiba, would this have affected my baby too... Because she is her milk mother! "
The Royal healer says, " Then we have to start treating the baby too"
Shariffudin cryingly says, " Yeh kya musibat hai! Both my wife and daughter are addicted! "
The emperor says, " You have to be strong now.... I won't let anything happen to them! "
The Royal healer took the baby inside....
Hamida and shariffudin too went in....
Salima begum says, " Shehensha.... First we have to find where this opium came from? "
He replies, " I just can't understand the part..... Who would drug the princess.... On whose orders.... And what's the reason behind! "
Maham says looking at ruqaiya, " Shehensha... May be someone who wants to hurt you! "
Ruqaiya looks at her and thinks at her words.....
The emperor orders, " Motibai! Go and ask all the staffs at the kitchen to assemble in the meeting area including the guarding soldiers and the maids at bakshi bano's zenana! "

*in the meeting hall*
The emperor questioned everyone over there.... The maid who cooked the food and those who served it....
She says, " Shehensha i had- i prepared the food like every day.... I don't know anything you are asking about! " She stammered.... And was scared.....
When the king questions more about it.... She  says, " Raja vikramaditya singh ki jai ho! " And slits her throat with a dagger which was she holding inside her dupatta!

( * this has nothing to do with the original history.... It's just a fiction 😉)

The emperor was angry and understood the treachery behind his back.... He and his ministers  sought some measures to protect such infiltration by the enemies and spies from vikramaditya singh' s kingdom informed  that they are going to wage a war against the mughals and started marching towards agra......  And preparations started accordingly for the war...... The emperor planned to attack their tents, next night when they least expect it....

Near the fountain,

He stood there like a statue facing his back towards her.... Controlling his emotions with a tight fist....
She keeps her hand in his back and tears started to flow from his eyes..... She turned him towards her.... And was shocked....
She says wiping his tears, " Are u a baby to cry like this? "
He replies, " Aapko pata hai na... Ki mein bakshi se kitna pyaar karta hoon.... In the past days, I thought she is gaining the lost brightness in her life.... But i cannot see her like this"
She goes closer to him, " Kya Hindustan ki shehensha jalaluddin akbar ne jung ladne ke pehle hi haar maan liya? "
He realised what she said, his eyes emitting anger.... She lifed his chin upward....
" Baadshah woh hain, jo rishton ko apne insaaf ke beech na aane deta... Ab jung ladna baaki hai jalal! Show your enemies how dangerous you are if they try to destroy your kingdom! "

She keeps her hand on his chest, he takes a deep breath and keeps his hand on her head and leaves from there.....

Ruqaiya looks at his declining figure and keeps her hands on her baby bump......

( I don't know why.... But while imagining this last scene, I felt 'Ishq hai woh ehsaas, ishq hai woh jazbaat' song  playing in the background [from the serial- just simply it striked my mind]....,
what song will you people want to play in this situation for this couple? )
