Maham says Oh God! This blood? Jalal are you injured? Are you okay? Jalal is quiet. I was coming to you. There are so many bad things going on in my brain. You are here, where is Adham? Is he okay? Jalal says he committed a severe sin for which I have punished him. Maham says you did good, he should be kept in detention, he wanted everything that you ever had, either it be the childhood toys or your crown, he is stupid, he doesn’t get things. I was so proud of him. It made him that bad but you know all of it wasn’t his mistake, it was mine. I never gave him attention. I always gave importance to you. It was my responsibility but I should have given him time as well, don’t think about me, think about Javeda, she will die if something happens to Adham.
Jalal says he killed my Atgah Sahib. Maham says Oh God! He has gone mad, he has given you so much pain. It’s better that you punished him, he deserves punishment. You must have beaten him? You did right, but the blood on your body tells me you have hit him so hard, my breaths are going on, keep me in detention I will face everything, but please, forgive Adham. Jalal hugs her.
Maham says you are the King, you have all the power, pardon Adham please, if something happens to him, I will die. Suddenly, she sees Javeda coming out in a white dress. Maham is shocked. She is too bewildered to say anything. Maham grasps Jalal’s collar and looks at the blood. She touches the blood and says Adham…? She faints. Jalal holds her. Some servants comes and take her in.
Atgah’s Son Aziz gets to know about his father’s death, he says I will not leave Adham and Maham is responsible for all this, I won’t leave her! His companion says that Adham killed the Chief Minister, who is the most powerful after the King, so this means Adham is strong and has planned things so we should takes steps carefully. Aziz says I am loyal to Jalal, but I wont forgive Adham and that Maham!! They leave for Agra.
Jodha in her room thinks that Adham was a criminal but how could Jalal kill him? Jalal comes to Jodha still covered with blood, he comes near her, Jodha moves back, Jalal ask are you fine? What happened to you? Jodha looks away and can’t see Jalal’s face, she says no, Jalal looks in the mirror and sees blood on his face and body, he angrily leaves from there. Jodha is in fear, she then thinks that I shouldn’t have reacted like this, it’s time to support Jalal, he is infuriated and can take any step, she goes behind Jalal.
Jalal comes to the royal bath and can’t see himself in blood, Jodha follows him and looks at him hiding behind the wall, Jalal takes off his clothes, Jalal jumps in the pool and takes his bathe, he is trying to remove the blood from his body, he doesn’t know what he did, what happened and keeps rubbing his body.
A Servant comes and informs that the preparations has been done for last ceremonies of Atgah, Jalal shouts Atgah Sahib???? And cries, Jodha cries too.
Atgah’s last ceremonies are being performed, his dead body is shown, his Wife comes and cries, she says it’s all my fault, if I had taken you with me for rest, then this wouldn’t have happened, she cries badly.
Jalal comes there, all looks at him, Jalal recalls how Atgah used to pamper Jalal, how he used to protect Jalal, how Atgah said that he will fight with the person who tries to attack Jalal! Jalal extends his hand and prays for Atgah’s soul.
Jodha also says some lines for Atgah’s soul. Javeda comes to Atgah’s dead body and says you can’t go like this, why you left us so soon, I need you, on whom’s assurance I will live now? You can’t do this to us.
Jalal finishes his prayers, he comes close to Atgah, he touches Atgah’s face and cries silently on his dead body, he keeps looking at Atgah’s body and weeps.
Hamida comes to Jalal, they both cries.
Maham is in the room, she says nothing can happen to my Adham, I will go and meet him, the Servants stops her from going out, Maham says whoo can you stop me??
Hamida comes there, Maham says I am going to see Adham! Hamida says control yourself. Jalal comes there too, Maham says to Hamida that I just want to see Adham, Hamida says it will be good if you don’t see him, Maham says you are saying this,as Jalal doesn’t want it? I beg you, please let me see Adham for once, all are saying here that Adham is no more… I cant believe this, nothing can happened to Adham, he is a mountain, nothing can happen to him, I just want to prove it, let me see him once, please request Jalal.
Maham comes to Jalal and says I did mistake, punish me for life, I won’t say anything, but please accept this my request, I just want to see Adham for once, actually, I saw blood on your face, so I am getting wrong thoughts, I know Adham is there, he is alive, please let me meet him, she sits in Jalal’s feet and says I beg, I request you in the name of God, you are the King, I served you for years, please let me see Adham for once, please just once.
Jalal with mixed emotions looks at Maham, Jodha puts hand on Jalal’s shoulder, Jalal allows Maham to meet Adham, she gets happy and thanks him profusely, she is about to go, but ask where is Adham? Jalal shows her the way, she goes to see Adham (it seems like she has lost her mental balance).
Atgah’s Son Aziz comes to Agra Palace with sword in his hand, he says I want Adham, he says I won’t leave Maham today!!
Maham is going to meet Adham while Aziz is coming, Todar sees them both, he sees that Aziz is going to attack Maham, but Todar Mal stops him, he ask what are you doing? He says I am avenging my father’s death, Todar Mal says the revenge has been taken, Adham is being killed, Aziz says you are lying, Todar says then you can see it for yourself, he sees Adham’s dead body, Maham also sees Adham’s body, she becomes stoned, Aziz says now, I won’t kill Maham, as she is already dead, he goes to see Atgah.
Maham comes to Adham’s body, Javeda is crying, Resham takes Javeda away. Maham looks at Adham, Maham sits beside him and recalls how she used to give her whole time to Adham, all the family members comes there, Maham ask Adham to get up, she says blood is coming out, she says why you are not wearing your war dress? You went to fight with Jalal and Atgah, you had everything, you were a warrior, you had passion in you, you had me and you were the brother of Jalal, but nothing came handy when you lost your life, I told you to not go against Jalal, you used to say that you will kill Jalal, but if you were Jalal’s loyal, then you would have been Minister of many states, she says Adham, nothing can happen to you, you are a mountain, please get up and talk to me, you know you sleep like this when I sing lullaby for you, today I will sing lullaby for you, she kisses his hand and sings lullaby in choked voice, she has tears in her eyes, she cries and says Adham is gone, he is gone, she shouts Adham, my child is gone, he is gone!!
Maham looks at Maham’s face smeared with blood, she looks at Jalal and says what kind of justice is this?? The person lying in blood here, you raised from childhood by getting his quota of love from me, he is your half brother, how can you kill him so brutally? He did crime, then you could have put him in jail, which kind of justice is this? You have to answer me, as I taught you justice, so I have the right to take answer from you, my Son did worst crime, but why didn’t you take the appropriate step? Answer me! Did you call the Court? Did you asked Adham why he did that? Did you discussed the matter with the Ministers? No, you directly killed him, this is not justice in Mughals!
Maham says answer me, why you did this? Why?? This matter isn’t finished yet, this will finish when justice will be provided and I will do the justice! The mother of Adham, the Chief Minister of India, she says you decided the fate of mine and my my son, today, I will choose the justice for me, I will do the justice by giving you a curse;
You will also mourn over the death of your children; your children are in the womb of your Wife Jodha, I give you a CURSE that you also take their dead body in your hand, you also cry on their death, you also get the pain just like I got mine!
Jodha and Jalal are shocked, all can’t believe what Maham just said, Maham says;
Your child will not be loyal to you, you will not get peace from your Son, she says God, today is the day when I prayed for Jalal from true heart and accept this prayer!
Maham says now, the justice is given to my Adham, Jalal shouts take her away!! Maham looks at Adham and starts leaving from there, she cries looking at Adham’s body and leaves, Jalal angrily leaves from there. Hamida takes Jodha from there.
Jalal comes to the weight balance and recalls Maham’s bitter words, Jalal says Adham killed my guidian (Atgah Khan), the one who is next to my father and Khan baba (Bairam Khan) then how can Maham curse me? One soldier comes to Jalal, but Jalal shouts how can you disturb me, go from here! He goes to Ruqaiya and says Jalal is very angry. Ruqaiya says I know his state, I will go to him.
Ruqaiya comes to Jalal, Jalal says go from here, she says but… Jalal shouts go from here!!! Ruqaiya gets afraid, Jalal becomes emotional.
Ruqaiya comes to the ladies, she says to Jodha that I tried a lot, but Jalal is not accepting anything, I never saw him so much angry. Hamida says we have to take out his frustration, Jodha says I will talk to him, Ruqaiya says no, don’t go to him, he is very angry, maybe he will get angry at you and hurt you, you are going to be a Mother and we can’t take the risk, Jodha stops going to Jalal.
Jalal is sitting in the dark room, he recalls how Adham said that Maham didn’t want to kill you, but wanted to take the throne, he recalls how Abul Mali wanted to take the throne from him. Jalal looks at the throne and says it’s all happening because of you, you made me kill my own, you make my own stand against me, first you took Khan baba (Bairam Khan) from me, then you snatched Mother (Maham Anga) and now you took my Guidian (Atgah Khan) away from me, today, I will destroy you, I will destroy this throne!!
Jalal takes the fire stick and burns his throne, Jodha who is passing by there, stops and comes to Jalal, she says what are you doing Jalal? This is bad omen for the Mughal Saltanate, don’t burn down your Throne, Jodha brings mud to dose off the fire, Jalal says no, let it burn, it will also know fire in my heart, all think this is my strength, but this throne is my weakness, all my family members went against me because of this Throne, my Khan baba (Bairam Khan) who gave me this throne went against me just because of this throne, my brother-in-law Abul Mali went against me because of this throne and now, he even snatched my Atgah from me, I will finish this throne, I will end this Saltanate who ate all my relations, it’s the root cause of all problems, so let’s finish it!
Jalal says my half mother (Maham Anga) cursed my child today, because of this throne, my half brother (Adham Khan) got killed because of this throne, how can anything happen to my Chidren? Jodha says nothing like this, nothing will happen to your children, myself and you, and Maham didn’t curse you, but she just said that in anger, she can’t curse you, Jalal says no, everything is finished, this throne took away all my relations from me, you will also leave me.
Jodha says no, look at me, he looks at her, Jodha says we didn’t make relations because of this throne, our relationship is strong and I won’t ever leave you even if you don’t remain powerful, even if your lose your throne, I don’t want to go away from you even if death comes to me, I want to die with you, Jodha was with you and will be always with you, Jalal hugs her and cries. Jalal sleeps in Jodha’s lap, Jodha prays to Maa (goddess) to give Jalal strength to fight with all odds.
