“ I want to be strong for you . . . . “

“ yes . . . why ? “

“ do you remember the exact time ? “

Jodha try to think that day “ if i’m not mistaken couple days after you left me “ she answer, and jalal try to remember those days, so far as he can remembering when he got the news bout his father had heart attack everything become chaos, too much things he must do and he ask rani to hold his phone and help him making some call on his behalf because he was busy making command, and he didn’t want to be disturbed so everything must go through rani first, so if jodha called and sent hi message around that time rani should know it, but she never said anything , tomorrow she will ask rani bout it, he feel someone deliberate done this to and he would go to the bottom to find out who.

“ what’s wrong jalal ? it’s in the past now … so don’t think much bout it “ said said jodha looking at jalal who seems lost in his own mind.

“ don’t worry sweetheart “ he smile at her “ i’m happy no more misunderstanding between us “ he add, jodha smile then close her eyes and falling asleep on jalal’s lap, after sometimes jalal carry jodha to her room and laying her on bed, he kiss her forehead and promise to his self that he will find out about that matter, then he leave.

Maham anga and adham khan are on the way to office, maham anga busy with her own mind, she must get to know bout jodha past as soon as possible and get rid off her for good, she’s already making sure that there is nothing can make connection to her with jalal jodha separation but it will always haunt her if jodha still around, jalal definitely no stupid and soon or later he will start too find the truth.

Adham reading news , jalal and jodha become headlines in every newspaper.

“ wah ammijaan . . . jalal really something . . he have gut to do this in front of hindal mirza nose, and now it’s gonna be very interesting to see war between jalal and hindal mirza “ said adham cheerfully

“ yes it will very interesting adham but i already see the outcome, you think hindal mirza can beat jalal ?, only people as strong as jalal and powerfull like him who can challenge him, hindal mirza is not in the league with jalal, some local businessman may be afraid of hindal mirza but not jalal and i will bet that jalal will crush him into dust . . you will see adham “ maham anga feel pity for hindal mirza, she know he will seek revenge but with jalal as his opponent it’s not good.

“ yes well at least there is something interesting worth to watch ammijaan “ reply adham

“ you’re right adham . . you’re right “ said maham with evil smile.

Jodha accompany jalal to car they are walking with holding hands, driver open the door for jalal, but before he got in he turn to jodha.

“ today you don’t have to work . . having fun with moti ok ? “ he said

“ ok . . . “ reply jodha, jalal smile to her then he bend little bit and kiss her, jodha feel shock and surpise jalal kiss her in front of his driver and  body guards, then he give her naughty smile and before she can say anything  he enter the car.

Bobby and other bodyguards look to the other side when they see big man kiss the beautiful lady, they never see this side of big man, then after big man enter they leave while jodha watching until the car disappears from her sight.

With amaze moti look interior of the luxurious car that jalal send to pick her up, until now she still can’t believe that jodha can tame the billionare jalaluddin muhammad akbar, she is one very lucky girl and she is agree with some reporters on news called her Cinderella, she is indeed like cinderalla and jalal in real prince for jodha.

When the car start to enter mughals mansion moti mouth wide open in shock and disbelief, this is just like a castle, this Cinderella stuff is like a true, the car stop and driver open door for moti, with still feel amaze moti climb out from car.

Mirza watch a beautiful girl standing near garden, she have short hair, excotic skin, she wear a black skinny jean with red t-shirt and she hold bag on her shoulder, she look around with adoring eyes, mirza go out from living room and come to her.

Then jodha take moti into the house but before moti come in she look back to see the glimpse of him and in the same time mirza staring at her too, mirza smile to her then he leave.

Jalal arrive at office and he adgah already waiting for him to discuss important things and jalal ask rani to not let anyone interrupt them, then jalal and adgah had private meeting, he tell to jalal he’s been check everything on MGF project and there is nothing’s wrong with it that hindal mirza can use to against him.

Meanwhile jodha take moti to her room and moti looking everything around her with disbelief, jodha’s room almost three times bigger then her room.

Moti feel relief hearing that “ ok good . . or he will have to face me and mother if he hurt you “ said moti and jodha smile in happiness that her best friend and aunty juhi always protective towards her.

“ and i’m sure you and aunty juhi will slay him “ said jodha with amusement

“ ok then tell what happen next ?  “

“ well he threat jalal but jalal seem’s didn’t even flinch over his threat . . and then jalal declare that we will get marry soon . . . . “

“ you know moti . . bakhsi bano will design my wedding dress . . she is a fashion designer “ claimed jodha with proud

“ no way . . . you are a fashion designer ? that’s so cool “ bakhsi really happy when jodha with proud said she will design her wedding dress, she never had that kind treatment, ruqaiya always said she had no talent and how her design ugly.

“ yes i’m a fashion designer . . and come here to give you a look the rough sketch  of your wedding dress “ bakhsi said, she feel nervous in case her design not good.

“ really ??? let me see “ said jodha, she is very eager to look at it, then bakhsi handed the design.

Jodha look at the design and find it very beautiful and amazing, the detail of embroidery is very beautiful, moti look at the wedding dress design too and indeed she have the same mind with jodha, the design is very amazing, this girl is very talented and she is wonder why she hasn’t run her own fashion show.

With nervous bakhsi look at the two beautiful woman observes her design when jodha look at her with admiration “ bakhsi bano . .  this is very beautiful wedding dress . . you are very talented “

Bakhsi bano smile with happy “ really jodha . . you think so ? “

Jodha nod “ yes bakhsi . . its’s very fantastic . . you have amazing talent “ she praised her

“ yes . . you are a damn hell talented one bakhsi . . why don’t you run your own fashion show ? “ ask moti

Bakhsi look down with liitle bit shy “ well if ruqaiya sultan the famous model who is very fashionable said my design not good how come i have the confidence with my talent “ she sid with sadly

“ screw her “ curse moti “ may be she is jealous because you can make very beautiful dress . . do you have another design ? “ ask moti

Bakhsi look at her with confuse “ yes i’ve made quite a lot design since i graduated . . why ? “ she ask, jodha look at moti and undertans where is her mind headed and indeed she want to see her design too.

“ can i see it . . ? “ reply moti

Bakhsi bano eyes spark with happy yet disbelief “ of course . . come on . . let’s go to my studio  “ with jodha and moti behind her, bakhsi bano headed to her studio, she feel excited since this is the first time people that not her family want to see her design.

Jalal just finish meeting with adgah when he phone rani and ask her to come, he need to know bout who is the one delete jodha’s message and his phone record so he didn’t know jodha try to reach him back than, rani come and jalal ask her to sit.

“ rani i want to ask something ? i don’t know if you still remember this but i want you to try your best to remember this matters “ said jalal

Rani nodding “ ok bos . . what do you want to know ? “ she reply

“ remember when my father got heart attack and passed out ? i ask help from you by keeping my phone with you because i don’t want to be bother by people who kept call to said their condolences . . “

“ yes i remember bos . . so ? “ ask rani . . now she is curious where is this conversation headed to.

“ did you received any call or message from jodha that time ? “ ask jalal, he observe her face expression and body language to see if she is lying

“ jodha . . . isn’t she . . . . . “ rani didn’t finish her words because she see jalal nod “ ooouww . . ok ok . . no bos i didn’t received any call or message from her but  you should ask maham anga .. “

“ maham anga ? “ ask jalal surpised

“ yes bos . . because she take your phone to help me because i must manage lots of things that time, so she asked to help me with to deal with people who keep calling you through your phone . . and she is gave it back to me when you start to active in this office . . “ jalal really shocked to hear this “ everything is ok bos ? “ she ask worrying if she had done something wrong.

Jalal look at his secretary “ no rani . . it’s nothing  . . thank you . . you can go now and please make appointment with Jackson tomorrow around 10am “ said jalal, rani writing jalal’s instruction then leave jalal’s office.

Jalal can’t believe what he just heard and he think is it possible that maham anga who did all this but what is her motive ?, no one know bout jodha back time, only his father who know bout jodha, then suddenly something strike jalal’s minds, maham anga is his father trusted people so is it possible that his father told her to separate him from jodha ? but why, what’s her intention to do something like that, he want to confront maham anga bout this but he know her, she will denied it if he don’t have proof, so he need to find the proof first, he will ask her mother bout maham anga because she knew her well than he do, but he swear if he found out her involvement in this he wont spare her.

Jodha, moti and bakhsi bano enter bakhsi’s studio , with curious jodha and moti look around, it’s quite large room, painted in white, there are three table , some mannequin, sewing machines and a drawing board, bakhsi take some her design and handed it to jodha and moti, both accept it and start to look and observe her design, jodha knew she might be not the most fashionable but she can see a good design when she see one and bakhsi design is very amazing,  she design different style dress from gown, working dress, and casual dress

“ bakhsi bano . . it’s all beautiful . . when ruqaiya said your design not good did she ever looked at you design ? “ ask jodha, she doesn’t understand why ruqaiya said that, she must can see this is amazing design.

“ yes . . i showed her my design but she said it’s not good and i’m not good enough “ said bakhsi

“ she is one hell crazy person “ said moti “ even i’m not expertised in fashion but i can say your design very amazing . .  you are very talented and beyond good, with this kind talent you can run your own fashion show “ she add

Bakhsi bano looking at jodha and moti and observe them as if they lie but she only find appreciation and honestly in their eyes “ you two are amazing . . my family said my design good too but they are my family so i thought they were saying that to make me happy then  ruqaiya came and gave very hurtfull comment . . but you guys bring back my confident “

Jodha look at bakhsi, she never knew ruqaiya could be very cruel “ bakhsi why you want to be fashion designer ? “ she ask

“ i want to make every women beautiful no matter what their skin colour or how their’s body shape, once when i’m in high school there is one of my classmate, she have large body and she always complain it’s very hard for her to find clothes in her size, she want to look pretty too and there is another one classmate who not confident with whatever she was wearing, so i want to make them feel beautiful “ jodha and moti listening to bakhsi with seriously

Moti look at the design once again “ you know bahksi bano . . you could launch your own clotching line, with that you can made clothes with different size, with talent like yours and your love for fashion to give woman happiness i’m sure your clothing line will be very succesfull . . and create your own label . . you don’t need ruqaiya sultan to said your design is good or not . . everywoman will give you the real opinion and i will bet with all my money they are gonna love your design “

Bakshi bano with diebelief looking at jodha and moti, this is the first time for her to get such appreciation and encouragement “ if you guys think like that perhaps i will do that . . I’ve been thinking to create my own label but i don’t have the courage to do that, and if i will do that will need lots of help to make dress if i want to run a fashion show, but i will ask jalal bhaijan opinion bout this matter, he is a very successful business man so he will know if it’s gonna success or not “ ask bakhsi, now she feel very excited, these two girl really awaken up her desire for fashion.

“if i can make a suggestion bring all this design when you talk to your brother, let him see and i’m very sure he will have the same opinion like us, he can see a diamond when he see one “ said moti and baksi bano nodding.

“ and if you need any help just ask . . we will glad to help you “ said jodha

“ really ? you guys willing to help me ? “ she asked with hopefully

“ of course bakhsi . . just tell us what we can help ans we will help you . . me and moti can sewed so if you decide to make your plan come true we definitely will help you “ reply jodha

Bakhsi bano almost cry listening to jodha words then she hug both jodha and moti “ you guys are the best . . jodha i’m happy that you came into bhaijan life so now i had you and moti “

Moti hold both jodha and bakhsi hands “ we just met but it seems like we know each other for a long time . . this is very strange and rare but i belive in past life we are bff “ said moti
