I again asked Kali Prasad, "Is there really treasure in this palace?"
Yes.
We have found almost all the rooms. But I didn't see anything like that anywhere. Where is King Bikram Singh hiding the treasure? There are places where there may be treasure.
I said to Sujeet, "Sujeet, have you seen any such suspicious place?"
No, I didn't see anything like that either.
How do I know the mystery of the treasure seems to be true. But I don't understand where it is hidden.
I began to think differently.
At that time Asif said, "We have come here to travel, not to find treasure. So what is the use of knowing where the treasure is?"
Sujoy said, "Asif, why don't you understand? Those treasures are very old. They carry the memories of kings. And besides, those treasures are very valuable. You have to find them and see if Kali Prasad is telling the truth or not."
Among the 5 of us, Sujoy is a history student. And we are 4 economics students. Met Sujoy on campus. He has been our friend since then. So he knows more about history than we do.
What's the matter Jayant, are you listening to me carefully?
Yes, I hear you.
How do you feel?
Feels good. The story is very mysterious. Did you find the treasure?
To know that, listen carefully to the following words.
I shifted well on the bed. A lot of time passed after eating. After a while I saw Subarna bring tea for both of us.
"You have done a great job. You understand my heart," I said to Subarna with a smile.
Subarna's face turned red with shame. He hurried away from there.
My father-in-law sipped the tea and put the cup back. Then he started telling his mysterious story again.
We then realised that there is nothing wrong with Kali Prasad. He is greedy and tried to scare us.
I said to Kali Prasad, "Go, you are set free. Remember one thing, it is not right to harm others for your own sake."
"Nice Pritam! What words did you say. My mind was blown after hearing your words," Sujeet said this to me with a smile.
Kali Prasad happily said, "Thank you sir! Thank you very much."
I said, "Since you have worked so hard to get the treasure, you can find the treasure again without harming anyone."
Thank you, I will not try to scare anyone this time.
Come on guys let's try to find the treasure too. Let's see where the treasure is hidden.
Rahul said, "It will be better if we form a team and start searching. It will be easier to find the treasure."
Rahul you are right.
Me and Sujeet and Rahul, Sujoy, Asif were divided into two groups.
I told the three to go north.
Sujeet and I went east.
There are several houses on the east side. which are locked. But the outer window of one room was open. Peeking through the window, there is a lot of old wooden furniture. I don't think there could be any treasure in that room. Because that room is full of garbage. And besides, there is no security in that room.
I said to Sujeet, "Should we find this house?"
Yes, everything needs to be explored. Did you not hear a word?
What's up!
"Where you see the ashes
Blow it up
Even if you get it, you can get valuable wealth."
Yes, I know this. That means you are saying, we have to search everywhere. No place can be omitted?
Yes, you got it right.
Then Sujeet must break this lock.
Yes, I can't get inside unless I break it.
Sujeet, you bring a stone.
Sujeet brought a stone.
I took the stone and hit the lock. But it did not open. I hit it again. I hit it very hard. A sharp sound was made. This time there was no fear of being noticed. Because now everyone knows about this.
The lock could no longer be fixed due to the strong impact. Finally broke.
I knocked on the door to open it. But it did not open.
Very old! And besides, this house has been closed for a long time. No one entered or attempted to enter.
I could not open the door even after knocking several times.
I said to Sujeet, "You too come. You two have to push together."
The door opened as a result of two people's push. Inside is filled with unnecessary furniture. None are usable.
whatever. No need to look at that. We have to focus on finding the treasure.
I turned the furniture, the small and large wooden boxes, the cupboards over and over. I didn't get anything. I am watching from one side of the room and Sujeet is watching from the other side. I didn't see any suspicious picture on the wall of the room to get any clue. The movement of those wooden objects created a loud noise in the room. I called Sujeet and said, "Sujeet, did you find anything?"
No, did you get it?
No, I didn't either. All the places in this room have been found. But nothing was found anywhere. We need to get out of here and find another room.
Sujeet and I left that room. After leaving I wanted to lock the room. But I couldn't. The lock was completely destroyed by hitting it with a rock. So I just locked the door and left.
There are two more rooms left to explore.
The same thing happened in the next room. There is also furniture. I searched and found nothing.
Sujeet said disappointedly, "I searched all the places around here. I didn't find anything. There is only one room. I don't know if anything can be found there or not?"
Don't despair Sujeet. If there is treasure, we will surely find it. Let's look for the next room. We entered the next room. There is no unnecessary furniture like the previous room. That room is often empty. Even during the day that room is very dark. Nothing is visible. I found the switch board with great difficulty. I switched on one after another but the bulb did not light.
I said to Sujeet, "You open the window a little. The light will make everything clear."
Ok.
With great difficulty, Sujeet went to the other side and opened the window. The sunlight came into the room. In the sunlight I saw something in a corner of the room. I was overjoyed. I happily said, "Sujeet, look, we have found the treasure."
So I went there. A small iron box was lying there.
Sujeet also came to me and knelt down. Then he said, "Is there really a treasure inside this?"
To know that, you have to open this box first.
