Nightmare

VIHAAN'S POV

As the case progresses, it's becoming increasingly challenging, especially since we've discovered that there's someone within our own ranks aiding the culprit. Neil, Shreya, and I are collaborating closely to identify and apprehend this individual who is betraying our team from within. The situation demands our utmost vigilance and dedication as we strive to bring this traitor to justice and ensure that justice is served for the victims of these heinous crimes.

Neil mentioned his intention to drop off Nishi's lunch. Suddenly, the thought of Aarna crossed my mind, and I felt an urgent need to see her again. I turned to Neil and expressed my desire to accompany him to the school. He readily agreed, and together we made our way to Nishi's school.

During the journey, Neil inquired about my sudden interest in meeting Aarna. I glanced at him and simply nodded, unable to articulate the strange pull I felt towards the little girl.

Upon arriving at the school, our anxiety spiked when we noticed a commotion near nishi's classroom. Without hesitation, Neil and I dashed towards the scene. My heart sank as I saw Aarna lying unconscious while teachers frantically tried to revive her. Nishi, visibly distressed, was beside her, tears streaming down her face.

The sight of Aarna in such a vulnerable state sent a shiver down my spine, chilling me to the bone.

Nishi's tears added to the tension, and I felt a chill run down my spine as I approached the scene.

Teachers were gathered around Aarna, trying to wake her up. Neil and I quickly reached her side, our hearts pounding with fear and uncertainty. A wave of emotions washed over me as I looked at Aarna lying there, so vulnerable and helpless.

"Nishi, sweetheart, what happened?" Neil asked, his voice filled with concern, as he tried to comfort her. I knelt beside Aarna, checking her pulse and breathing, hoping for any sign of improvement.

The teachers explained that Aarna suddenly collapsed during class, and they weren't sure what had caused it. Panic surged through me as I struggled to make sense of the situation.

Gathering my thoughts, I made a quick decision. "Neil, we need to get Aarna to the hospital immediately," I said firmly, urgency in my tone. "We can't take any chances with her health."

Neil nodded in agreement, I turned to Aarna's teacher with urgency and said, "We're taking her to the hospital. Please call her parents immediately." The teacher nodded, her concern mirroring mine and swiftly began dialing Aarna's parents as Neil scooped up Nishi into his arms. With a sense of urgency, I cradled Aarna in my arms, her small frame feeling fragile against me, and we hurried towards our car parked nearby.

With every step, my heart pounded with fear for Aarna's well-being. I held her close, hoping to provide some comfort despite the urgency of the situation. Neil's hurried strides matched mine as we reached the car and quickly settled Aarna in the back seat, ensuring she was as comfortable as possible.

With Neil behind the wheel and Nishi safely seated beside him, I sat in the back with Aarna, my eyes fixed on her pale face. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on me as we sped towards the hospital, each passing moment filled with apprehension and worry.

As Neil started the engine and pulled out of the school parking lot, I held Aarna close, feeling her shallow breaths against my chest, a stark reminder of the seriousness of her condition. I felt a surge of determination wash over me. We had to get Aarna to the hospital as quickly as possible, to ensure she received the medical attention she desperately needed.
