Unveiling Royalty : The Rajput Saga (Book 1)

Chapter 4 : A Wedding

Mr. Molefi smiled proudly, "Ma'am, with this school, we're reaching over 500 children in this village alone. The impact will resonate through generations."

Aadhya, visibly moved, nodded. "It's not just about education; it's about empowering communities and shaping futures."

Eager to immerse herself in the joy of the moment, Aadhya joined a group of children for a spontaneous game of football. Laughter and cheers echoed as the vibrant scene unfolded. Amidst the spirited play, Aadhya connected with the young minds, making promises of regular attendance and shared dreams of a brighter future.

As the game reached its climax, Aadhya, with flushed cheeks and a radiant smile, addressed the older students, "Your education is the key to unlocking endless possibilities. Promise me you'll be dedicated to your studies and attend classes regularly."

The students, inspired by her words, enthusiastically pledged their commitment.

Radhika, Aadhya's assistant, approached with a gentle reminder of the schedule. Aadhya, transitioning seamlessly, thanked the students, promising to return.

The cheers of the crowd lingered in the air as she proceeded to share lunch with the community, further engaging with teachers and students, fostering a sense of camaraderie and hope.

An hour later, as they sat in their safari vehicle on the way to Nokaneng, just a few hours away from Maun, Radhika brought Aadhya's attention to the next site's preparations. "Aadhya, Kaya is already at the next site, getting everything ready for the opening of the sixth school in Nokaneng tomorrow."

Aadhya, gazing at the vast landscape, reflected on her long-standing friendship with Kaya Williams. Since high school, they had shared dreams, laughter, and countless adventures. It was a bond that weathered the storms of time, growing stronger with each passing year. Kaya was not just a friend; she was the pillar of support Aadhya trusted implicitly.

Their friendship had deep roots in understanding, loyalty, and shared values. Aadhya recognized Kaya's unwavering commitment to the 'WE' projects, making her the only person Aadhya trusted to lead these initiatives.

The journey from high school escapades to philanthropic endeavors had solidified their friendship into an unbreakable bond, a testament to the enduring power of true camaraderie.

A day later, they were already on their way to a nearby village for the seventh and last school opening. Aadhya and Kaya shared the same safari, the excitement palpable as they discussed the impact of the 'WE' projects.

As the savannah landscape rolled by, Radhika, seated in the front, broke the silence. "Amir informed me that Princess Beatrice has been trying to reach you for the past two days. She heard you're back in the UK after years."

Aadhya's brow furrowed at the unexpected news. "Beatrice? Why would she be looking for me now?" She turned to Kaya, curiosity in her eyes. "Any idea, Kaya?"

Kaya, always calm and composed, shrugged. "Bea works in mysterious ways. Could be about her wedding, considering everyone was wondering why you guys hadn't spoken yet given how crazy you both were together."

Aadhya chuckled, recalling their shared adventures during their Marlborough College days. "True, she always had a flair for the dramatic. Let me talk to her and see what's up."

As Radhika dialed Beatrice's number, Aadhya couldn't help but wonder about the nature of this unexpected call, and whether actually was about her wedding.

Beatrice was initially surprised by the early morning call but picked up nonetheless. "Aadhya, is that really you? It's been ages!"

Aadhya chuckled, "Yes, Bea, it's me. Sorry for the early call. Time zones can be tricky."
