WEDDING NIGHT OR FEAR OF LOSS

In the heart of the desert, Ekanksh's car sliced through the sandy terrain, leaving a trail of swirling dust behind. Inside the vehicle, Ekanksh's grip on the steering wheel tightened with each passing mile. His eyes, fixed on the horizon, burned with a fierce determination, fueled by the memory of his enemy's chilling words.

As the sun beat down relentlessly upon the arid landscape, Ekanksh's mind raced with a flurry of thoughts and emotions. The safety of Princess Vamika weighed heavily on his shoulders, a burden he carried with unwavering resolve. With every passing moment, the urgency of his mission grew, driving him onward with a single-minded focus.

Finally, the compound came into view, a formidable fortress rising from the desert sands like a mirage. Guards patrolled the perimeter, their watchful eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of intruders. But Ekanksh was no stranger to stealth and cunning; he moved with the grace of a predator, slipping through the shadows unnoticed.

As he neared the outer perimeter, Ekanksh's senses sharpened, attuned to the slightest sound or movement. Suddenly, the silence was shattered by the approach of an enemy patrol. With lightning-fast reflexes, Ekanksh sprang into action, dispatching his adversaries with precision and efficiency.

With the outer defenses breached, Ekanksh pressed forward, his determination unyielding in the face of adversity. Each confrontation tested his mettle, but he met every challenge head-on, his resolve unwavering as he fought his way deeper into enemy territory.

Finally, he reached the inner sanctum of the compound, where his enemy lay in wait. The air crackled with tension as the two adversaries faced off, their gazes locked in a silent battle of wills. With a primal roar, Ekanksh launched himself at his opponent, their blows echoing through the night air as they clashed in a deadly dance of combat.

Despite the ferocity of his enemy's attacks, Ekanksh fought with the skill and determination of a seasoned warrior. Blow after blow was exchanged, each strike bringing him one step closer to victory. And when the dust settled, it was Ekanksh who emerged triumphant, his enemy lying defeated at his feet.

But victory came at a cost, for even in death, his enemy's words lingered like a shadow over Ekanksh's heart. With a sinking feeling, he realized that the danger to Princess Vamika was far from over. With renewed determination, he raced back to the palace, his heart pounding with dread at the thought of what awaited him.

As he burst through the palace gates, Ekanksh was met with a scene of chaos and turmoil. Guards lay strewn about the courtyard, their bodies battered and bruised, while the air hummed with an undercurrent of menace. With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, Ekanksh knew that time was running out.

As Ekanksh rushed through the grand gates of the Jodhpur palace, his heart raced with the urgency of his mission. The words of his enemy echoed in his mind, igniting a fire within him to protect Vamika at all costs. The sight of the departing groom's procession only fueled his determination, knowing that time was of the essence.

Inside the palace, Ekanksh moved with purpose, his footsteps echoing off the marble floors as he searched every corridor and chamber, his eyes scanning for any sign of Vamika. Panic gnawed at his insides as each passing moment without her presence heightened his fear.

Then, in a quiet corridor, he spotted it – Vamika's delicate dupatta lying discarded on the floor, a silent cry for help. His heart clenched in dread as he followed the trail, his senses heightened as he noticed the faint traces of blood smudging the pristine walls.

With every step, Ekanksh's dread intensified until he stumbled upon a scene that froze him in horror. Vamika, trapped between two towering walls of stone, her pale form pressed against the unforgiving surface, her hand clutching her bleeding waist in a futile attempt to staunch the flow. The sight of her weakened state tore at Ekanksh's soul, igniting a fierce rage within him.
