Ankush went towards Agastya and stood beside him, holding his sleeves and trying not to cry. Agastya wasn't surprised to see Ankush crying because he know how close he is with Viraaj.
"Is he alright?" Daksha asked to the healer.
Even the healer was looking worried. He held Viraaj's wrist to check his pulse "His pulse is low. Not too much but lower than normal. Is he taking his medicine on time and eating well?" He asked to Daksha.
Daksha immediately nod and said "Yes, his highness always makes sure that he eats well and take his medicine on time. His majesty had recovered alot few days ago. He even joined us for dinner. But these two-three days, he fell sick again."
"He has vomitted his food once." Ankush suddenly said, making everyone look at him.
"When?" Daksha asked shocked.
"Yesterday. His highness and prince went out yesterday so I came to give him lunch. He didn't finished the food and vomitted the food he ate." He replied.
Agastya looked at him shocked and asked.
"Why didn't you told us?"
"He told me not to. And he ate some fruits after some time and didn't vomitted. So I thought it's because of the spices in the food that his stomach can't digest, making him vomit."
The healer turned his gaze towards Viraaj and said "May be he is right. He ate the fruits later and didn't vomit. May be his stomach can't digest any spices. Just feed him fruits and juices. I will give you a medicine to reduce his fever and to help him digest his food. If the fever doesn't reduce, summon me immediately. "
"Fine." Daksha replied and wetted the cloth and placed it again on Viraaj's forehead.
The healer gave some medicine and stood up. "I will make a medicine at home for his majesty, send someone later to take it. And take good care of him. His body is too weak."
Daksha stood up and said "I will. Thank you."
The healer left and Daksha said "How did this happened? His highness is taking care of him yet he fell sick."
She looked at Agastya "Agastya, inform his highness about his majesty's health."
"As you say, your highness." Agastya said. He turned to Ankush "Stay here and take care of his majesty."
Ankush nod and let go of Agastya. He left the chamber and went to inform Dhishva about Viraaj's health, thinking he will panic to hear about his condition not knowing that he is the reason for Viraaj's sickness.
Dhishva came running to see Viraaj, Veer following him pretending to be worried.
"What happened?" Dhishva asked and sat down beside Viraaj.
"He have fever." Daksha replied.
Veer's eyes fell on Ankush who was standing beside Viraaj's bed. The anger rushed into Veer just by remembering how Viraaj scolded him because of this lowly servant.
"It must be because of him!" He said, pointing towards Ankush "These dirty servants! I told grandfather to keep him away from him but he didn't listen to me. It must be him who infected grandfather."
Ankush fisted his hands, controlling the urge to punch Veer to death. He is the reason for Viraaj's sickness but blaming Ankush for it.
"Shut up Veer. He is the one taking care of his majesty all the time." Daksha said, stopping her spoiled son from insulting Ankush.
"That's the reason grandfather fell sick again. He is dirty. He gave him medicine with his dirty hands and touched his stuffs that caused grandfather to fall sick again." Veer replied. He looked at Dhishva and said "Father, kick him out. He is the reason grandfather fell sick. Don't let him stay here more or else grandfather won't be able to recover."
Dhishva shifted his gaze towards Ankush and said "You are right." He said to Veer "You!" He called Ankush.
Ankush looked up at Dhishva and replied "Yes your highness?"
"Out." Dhishva said "Don't enter in my father's chamber ever." Dhishva know that it's hard to poison Viraaj because this servant is always around him so it's better to kick him out and keep him away from Viraaj first. And he also have the anger on Ankush. Because of him, Viraaj scolded Veer and taunted him.
Ankush gazed at Daksha who was looking helpless and again looked down. He nod and left the chamber.
"I don't want to see him around father again." Dhishva said to Daksha.
"Then who will take care of father?" Daksha asked.
"What are you for?" Dhishva replied.
"But I can't always take care of him. He need a man to take care of him." She replied.
Dhishva looked up at her and replied "I will hire a care taker for him. He will take care of father. Till then, I am here for him." He shifted his gaze to Viraaj and held his hand.
'Sorry father, but you deserve it. Want to kill your own grandson?' Dhishva thought.
