PRISHA was in the sit-out in the palace of Shimla kingdom when she heard a commotion at the gate, she looked towards it and saw some maids and guards clustered around, what were they doing there?
The Queen was back, and so she had to return to Shimla. She heard her son was back and so she returned too.
Although, Prisha didn’t divulge to her what Raghav was up to, that he was out searching for Rina. She had asked of his whereabouts and she told her he was at Kuru for some business.
So since then, she (Prisha) and the others have been waiting for him to be back, with Rina. The Siddarth guy was still in their custody.
As the commotion at the gate went on, two maids hurried into the tent, panting heavily. She turned her gaze to them, agitated.
“My Princess…”, they called, panting.
“Calm down okay, just calm down”, she said and they managed to.
“Good, now tell me what is the problem?” She asked.
“It’s the Queen my Princess”, one of them spoke.
“The Queen, what happened to her?” She asked curiously, sitting upright.
“She… she just slumped”, the other said.
“What?” She got up, “slumped? How?”
“We were at her chambers attending to her when she suddenly started shaking vigorously, and then the next thing, she slumped”, the first maid explained.
“Jeez! Where are the guards? Go call them immediately, tell them to set the car ready, fast”, she said and took to her heels, heading for the Queen’s chamber.
“Okay My Princess”, the two maids said and ran off, to deliver the message.
Prisha got to the chamber within minutes and rushed in, few other maids surrounded her slumped mother who was on the bed, two held an electric fan close to her, trying to give her air.
“Oh my God!” She shouted, “mom?” She called in fear and panic.
And just then, the door opened and two guards barged in, walked up to the bed and carried her away, Prisha followed.
They got downstairs and put her into the car which was already parked by. She was about entering into the car when a guard at the gate rushed up to her.
“My Princess, there is something that really needs your attention right now”, he bowed.
She looked at him.
“What’s that?”
“At the gate”, he said and pointed towards the gate and remembered about the commotion she had earlier seen there, she turned to the driver.
“You can take her to the hospital, I will be with you in a jiffy”, he said.
The driver bowed, and went into the car, two maids entered as well and they zoomed off.
Prisha then went up to the gate and saw the few maids and guards that were there, surrounding someone who sat on the floor.
“What is going on here?” She asked as she got there and they immediately parted ways for her, and she walked into their center.
She looked down at the person who sat on the floor, speaking incoherently to herself. It was a woman, an advanced woman, and she just sat on the floor, like a mad woman.
She turned to the guards.
“Who did she say she is and why did you guys let her in?” She asked.
“My Princess, she actually came banging at the gate and disturbing the peace of the palace, insisting she wants to enter, and that she has something to say”, a guard said.
She turned to the woman again, trying to see if she could recollect her face, and then it dawned on her, it was Mrs Roshan, Vidya’s mother. She made a face.
“Hey woman, what is it you have to say?” She asked.
She slowly looked up.
“I have done bad things, terrible things”, she said.
Prisha looked all the more befuddled.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“What do you mean madam? What bad things?” She asked.
“The Queen isn’t acting normal…”, she paused and Prisha was moved, her mother just slumped and was rushed to the hospital. What was this woman talking about?
“What do you mean woman? Speak up”, she said.
“I casted a spell on the Queen, I beguiled her”, she dropped the bombshell.
“What!” Everyone shouted.
“You did what?” Prisha further asked.
“At the instant the Queen showed interest in my daughter, for the Prince, I had immediately swung into action, and casted a spell on her, to make her do my biddings”, she said.
The little crowd shouted again.
Jeez! Prisha couldn’t take this anymore, her mom’s own friend? Her best friend? So she has been the reason her mother had been acting this wicked, no wonder, she knew mother wasn’t like that.
Immediately, her eyes became dizzy, and before she knew it, she fell back on the maids, who held her from falling to the ground.
“My Princess… my Princess…”, they shouted, trying to call her back from the world she was going to.
Immediately, a guard rushed towards the parking lot, and boarded one of the cars, he drove it to the gate and they helped the Princess in, then two maids joined the car, and they zoomed off.
The guards who were around immediately bundled the woman on the floor and took her to ‘the house’.
