Udaipur ~ A Path to our Destiny

Part 5 ~ Aditya's Nightmare turned into Reality

Aditya's pov

The music and dancing filled the hall as the Rajasthani performers entertained the guests. I was talking with some of my business partners when I suddenly heard a loud thud. The crowd quickly gathered, and I turned to see what was happening. As I made my way through the crowd, my heart pounded in my chest. When I reached the stairs, my eyes widened in shock.

"Dadisa!" I screamed, rushing over to her. She was lying on the floor, unconscious. I gently lifted her head and rested it on my lap. Someone handed me a glass of water, and I sprinkled it on her face, but she didn't respond. My heart ached as I called out to her, my throat going dry.

"Everyone, please leave. The party is over" I said after taking a deep breath. The weight of what had just happened made my voice firm, though I struggled to keep calm. I felt hands on my shoulders, guiding people away as the bodyguards started clearing the palace.

But inside, my blood was boiling. I turned to the attendees, my voice sharp with rage.

"Did she eat something she shouldn't have?" I demanded, my eyes burning with anger as I looked at each of them. Their heads hung low, avoiding my gaze. My fists clenched, the veins on my hands and neck bulging as my face flushed with fury, which only grew with every passing second.

"I'll not spare anyone if anything happens to her" I warned, my voice cold and devoid of any sympathy for the staff. My glare lingered on them, making sure they understood the weight of my words before I turned my attention back to Dadisa.

I gently caressed her cheek, my hand trembling slightly as I tried to keep control of my emotions.

"Mr. Choudhary, call the hospital" I ordered, and he quickly pulled out his phone, dialing with urgency.

I leaned closer to her, softly shaking her shoulder. "Dadisa?" I called out again, my voice shaky, but she remained still, unresponsive. A wave of panic started to wash over me, my heart sinking deeper as the reality set in—something was terribly wrong.

"Take my car out!" I roared, and a few bodyguards rushed outside, while others stayed close by. Mr. Choudhary was already on the phone, walking towards the main gate as he spoke.

I carefully picked Dadisa up in my arms, carrying her to her bedroom. I gently placed her on the bed and sprinkled more water on her face, hoping for some sign of response. 

"Sir" Mr. Choudhary said urgently as he rushed back into the room. "We have to take her to the hospital."

I nodded without hesitation. Wasting no time, I lifted her again, cradling her in my arms as I exited the palace. Mr. Choudhary and the bodyguards followed closely behind. The driver quickly opened the car door, and I got in, placing Dadisa's head gently on my lap as I sat in the backseat.

"Driver, faster" I urged, my voice tight with worry. He nodded, speeding off as Mr. Choudhary and the others followed in another car.
"Ji, hukum" the driver responded as he started the engine. The car sped through the streets, covering the distance to the hospital in just 20 minutes. The entire journey felt like an eternity. My mind was swirling with fear, my heart racing uncontrollably, and anxious thoughts crept into every corner of my mind.
