Hussein
Escapes Murder Attempt…Zeenat Escapes Suspicion, Prepares for Final Attempt on
Dusshehra…!!!
Friends,
Zeenat had a providential escape from Jalal’s wrath. What’s more,
Jalal was so embarrassed at suspecting her that he’d probably not believe any
allegations against her now. Ruqaiyya has still not received any scolding from
Jalal; rather she gained everyone’s sympathy today. Though she has apologized
to Zeenat, she is wary now and prefers to handle Hussein herself. Jodha is
concerned about Hussein being bereft of certain things that only a mother can
provide. Jalal promises her that Hussein will get everything that Hasan gets.
Poor Javeda got caught in the crossfire today. Though she was
only concerned about Hussein’s safety, the shadow of her mother-in-law brought
her into the circle of those who cannot be trusted. She got the typical
Ruqaiyya treatment, in spite of Jodha’s efforts to defend her actions. Jodha
herself got snubbed once more with regard to concern for Hussein.
On the political front, Todarmal met Rana Udai Singh of Mewar and
requested him to not provide refuge to those who had rebelled against the
Mughal sultanat and to meet Jalal.
The episode opened from where it left off yesterday. Javeda made
a hue and cry about Zeenat giving something to Hussein. The baby was fast
asleep and not waking up or crying.
Jalal and Ruq were distraught, wondering what to do. Jalal, in
his characteristic sten gun style, started blasting Zeenat. It was then that
Javeda, perpetually dismissed as a dim-wit, wisely suggested to Jalal that he’d
better take the baby to the doctor first and investigate later.
The hakima gave an ark to Hussein and he was soon pretty fine.
Apparently Zeenat had only given some “medicine” to clear the baby’s throat and
chest and to help him sleep more peacefully. Or so we were informed. Later
Zeenat told Qasim that someone was observing her and therefore she had to
abandon her plan to kill the baby then.
The entire Jalal team of Jodha, Ruqaiyya and Javeda apologized to
Zeenat and pleaded with her to extend her services. She agreed in a while after
pretending to be hurt.
Jalal Promises Parity for Hasan and Hussein in Treatment
Jodha is lost in thought about Hussein when Jalal comes.
She feels that Hussein may be losing out on benefits that a mother’s closeness
can bring. She is feeling guilty that she may be doing more for Hasan than what
she can get done for Hussein. Jalal promises that he would ensure that Hasan
and Hussein remain at par always.
Jodha knew that Jalal would apply everything that he learned from
her on Hussein too. And rewarded him with the title of the best father in the
world. Really? Which father would give away his child so completely?
Zeenat plots to kill Hussein on the Dusshehra
Zeenat and Qasim conspire in their room. Zeenat informs him how
she had to change her plans because someone was observing her and then Javeda
came there and created a hullabaloo. She
shows him a fake finger like pouch that apparently contains a special type of poison.
This poison makes the person fall sick and eventually kills him, without anyone
suspecting anything because the death appears natural.
So is this the mystery behind the twins falling ill and dying?
Did Zeenat poison them and escape detection?
Todarmal Meets Rana Udai Singh of Mewar
On the political front, Jalal sends Todarmal to the court of
Mewar King, Rana Udai Singh, father of Rana Pratap. Todarmal informs Udai Singh
that some Mughal rebels had taken refuge in Mewar and as a gesture of friendliness;
he should repatriate them to Agra or face war trouble.
Udai Singh informs TM that his relations were already strained
with the Mughals. And that he would never hand over the rebels under his care. On
advice from Rana Pratap, Udai Singh, however, decides to meet Jalal once and
learn what is on his mind.
Precap
The jashn is in full swing. Jalal is watching a musical concert
by Tansen. Zeenat, now in a maid’s dress,
has brought along her poison pouch and is about to kill Hussein. It is obvious
she will fail once more because she has to harm both kids simultaneously as per
spoiler. ..
