THE PARADISE OF LIES ✔️

22.DUBIOUS EVENTS

It have been a week since Vaidehi found that diary. She is hiding it in her closet and reading it in her free time. She was almost caught while reading it in the midnight as Vikramaditya woke up as he missed her presence . She quickly hid it and went to sleep. Reading that diary became her hobby from last 1 week.

The morning sun casted a warm glow over the city as Vikramaditya headed out for his routine factory visits. His day is filled with back-to-back meetings and inspections. He drived through bustling streets as his mind focused on the tasks at hand. His presence at the factories is more than a formality. it's a reassurance to the workers that their efforts are valued.

At one of the factories, the atmosphere is vibrant. It was a textile factory. Machinery hummed steadily and employees moved with purpose. Vikramaditya's arrival is met with smiles and nods of respect. He stepped out of his car and is greeted by Rajesh, a senior factory worker.

( Rajesh : Chala rojula tarvatha mimmalni chudatam chala anandam ga undhi sir ! ) 

Rajesh : It's great to see you here sir ! 

 Rajesh says, extending his hand.

( Vikramaditya : naaku kuda Rajesh garu. ) 

Vikramaditya : Good to see you, Rajesh.

Vikramaditya replies warmly.

( Vikramaditya : Panulu elaa jarugtunnayo chusi alagey mee andharitho kaasepu maatladi veldham ani vachhanu. Meeru naaku emaina telupali anukuntey cheppandi. ) 

Vikramaditya : I'm here to see how things are running and to thank all of you for your hard work. If there's anything you need or any concerns, let me know.

The workers gather around, and Vikramaditya spent a few moments chatting with them, offering words of encouragement and appreciation. His charismatic presence energizes the room. Later he inspected the renovation works going on at the factory as an advancement is made in the production.

As Vikramaditya wrapped up his visit and heads back to the office, the day takes a sudden and terrifying turn. He is driving along a familiar road when  out of nowhere a truck veered into his lane. There's no time to react. The impact is catastrophic.

In the split second before the collision, Vikramaditya's thoughts flash through his mind—his family , his work, and a deep, unsettling sense of dread. The truck smashed into the side of his car and he is jolted violently. The airbag deployed but the force of the crash is overwhelming.

Pain radiated through his shoulder as metal crunches and glass shatters. Blood trickled from a deep gash on his forehead. His vision blurred and a haze of confusion engulfed him. Through the fog of pain and disorientation, he struggled to focus. His breaths came in ragged gasps as he tried to move, but his body refused to cooperate. The world outside seemed distant and distorted. He managed to make an emergency call through his car wifi calling.

A cacophony of sirens and voices approached. Vikramaditya's last conscious thought before darkness takes over is a desperate plea for help, his mind screaming for someone to save him. He wanted to stay alive for his family.

At hospital , Vaidehi is busy with her own work when she receives the urgent call about Vikramaditya's accident. The news is like a blow to the chest. Her hands tremble as she hangs up, and she collapsed onto the floor, tears streaming down her face.

The initial shock is overwhelming. She sobbed uncontrollably, her heart breaking at the thought of her husband in danger. Her breaths came in ragged gasps as she tried to compose herself. After a few minutes of despair, Vaidehi takes a deep breath, pulled herself together, and headed outside from her cabin . She determined to be there for Vikramaditya. As she walked towards the emergency department she saw her unconscious husband being rushed into the hospital.
