The Quest For A Cursed Diamond.

Shah Jahan built a special throne for himself. It took a craftsman named Syed Geelani and his team of artisans took some seven years to build this throne. Several kilos of gold was overlaid on this throne, it was decorated with many gems. Jewelers from all over the world used to come to see this throne. One of these was the Hortenso Borgia of the city of Venice.  Emperor Aurangzeb gave it to Borgia to enhance the luster of the diamond.  Borgia acted so clumsily that he broke the diamond piece by piece.  It was reduced to just 186 carats instead of 793 carats... Aurangzeb had in fact given the task of carving a diamond from a piece of Kohinoor to Borgia secretly and part of the same Kohinoor was mounted in the wall of Shah Jahan's prison, with the help of which he used to see the Taj Mahal and his beloved wife's soul.

The Diary- 2

I looked at my watch and it was almost one o'clock in the morning. We both focused our attention mostly on Ramesh and Akram's tent as they were also the first members of Suresh's team to enter the cave. " Around two o'clock in the morning, there was some movement in the tent of Ramesh and Akram, the tent was lit up with a bright red light, Dr. Zakir and I ran to the tent but by then it was too late.

Ramesh and Akram passed away just as their other two companions had passed away.Dr. Zakir and I both stood in amazement and wondered what that bright red light could mean. Suddenly two more deaths occurred as soon as it was burnt.As soon as the morning of the same day, we started preparing to travel through that mysterious cave.

After collecting all the goods properly, preparations were made to go towards the nearby village.

The nearby village was also about three hundred kilometers away, which would have taken several days to reach. Two more people died mysteriously on the way, now even the nearby villagers were very scared, they had no answer for this but me and Dr. Zakir continued our investigation.Wherever our team used to camp, we started doing night patrols for the last two nights, but tonight we both will keep our eyes open.

It is 7:00 pm and at this time all the people of the team are sitting on fire in four different directions, laughing, joking, dancing, singing is going on, but probably me and Doctor Zakir are worried about what will happen tonight.

After finishing the dinner, Doctor Zakir called me pointing to his tent, I went after him, there was the coffin of the same dead Englishman.

Doctor Zakir said that "Look, I have kept this coffin in my tent today, one of my village staff said that if I found it before the treasure, then maybe it has some amazing power that is why we found it frozen, I did not believe in his words earlier, but in the kind of situations in which we are trapped, I feel like believing in this too."

I nodded, agreeing with Dr. Zakir, and stuffed the gun and bullets from his tent into the pockets of my overcoat.

Doctor Zakir also left with the necessary things.

Before climbing to the nearby mound lit a fire outside the tent and told the people sitting that before sleeping inside, put more wood in the fire so that the fire keeps burning in the four corners for a long time, this will reduce the clouds of fog and keep an eye,It will be easy too.

Then Dr. Zakir and I climbed to a nearby mound from where everyone could keep an eye on the halt, but before sleeping that night, the workers did not keep the wood in the fire that much, due to which the fog covered its bed in no time.

Due to which there was some difficulty in keeping sight after a few hours.

I told Dr. Zakir, "You wait, I will go and see, the fire has started to subside, I will also put wood."

Doctor Zakir looked at me and said "Okay but take care of yourself, I will cover you from here if anything goes wrong."

I headed towards the camp. I had the Winchester 1886 in .50-110 Winchester Rifle and Dr. Zakir had the Sharps Model 1874 Creedmore, which was known for its precision shooting from far away but still we both had the same thing in mind. Unknown fear was starting to hit the house. So with great intelligence, I slowly started moving forward.

I lit a fire at one corner of the camp, while I was moving towards the other corner, suddenly I felt that there was some movement.

When I looked back, there was no one.

Then I went to put wood in the other corner, I started the fire.

Now it was the turn of the third corner, the fog was enough. I was slowly moving towards the third corner when suddenly a bright red light flashed and a squeak was heard.

The scream was so terrible that anyone's heart would stop beating.

Dr. Zakir jumped from the mound and started running towards the camp. I was near. I ran towards where a bright red light flashed and a squeak was heard.

I reached the tent but could not see anything, it was just dark I took out the torch from my pocket and looked everywhere, there was no one but one of our team members had died.

In this, Doctor Zakir also arrived and after him the members of the team whose sleep was awakened after hearing that terrible scream.

It was three o'clock in the morning, then none of us thought it appropriate to sleep.

Doctor Zakir came to me and said softly "I saw him when I was running towards the camp but I did not think it proper to tell this thing in front of everyone, as soon as you turned towards the tent he started going towards my tent. His feet were not on the ground but in the air and the speed was amazing. His right hand was holding his head. He is a living corpse who is probably guarding this treasure. Somehow we have to get him away from this treasure No.

So our years of hard work will be washed away. I looked at Dr. Zakir and said, "It will not be so easy, first of all, we should know all the information about him, then you have brought him for your research. But now it has become a disaster for all of us, I think its body becomes lifeless in the morning."

Doctor Zakir said, "First of all, one night from behind my tent, I have to keep an eye on it by keeping a light on it."

I said in astonished voices "Now only one night and after that we both have the number on this team, keep in mind that."

"Oh don't you worry, I'll use my comrades who have guns to patrol the night and we'll both keep an eye on it from behind my tent," said Dr. Zakir, reassuringly.

I agreed too.

There was light now as the sun had shown its face after a long, tired and dreadful night.

We freshened up and started preparing to move on.

The team members started taking out the tents and the horses were loaded equally as we all had to cover the mountains and river paths which were not deep but the water flow was high.

This was because of the waterfall which was just a short distance away and on the other side of the river led to the village.

Somehow we crossed the river in which one horse kept getting damaged.

I saved her from drifting with great skill. After all, for all these years, Arabian horses were traded in our family, they were sold from big races to every big person who used to be fond.

Only I made my own identity by studying and writing and if tonight the secret of death like charisma of this jumper is not fully known and stopped, then that identity will also be erased.

It is night, we all had made a halt in the evening itself.

Everyone has set up their tents in such a way that a circle has been formed and the tent in which the coffin of that English officer is placed at a distance so that it is protected from the light of the fire.

The only way to do this is that if we look at that coffin from behind, our shadow will not be visible.

The light of the lantern had already been dimmed.

There are also bushes behind that tent, so it will be helpful for both of us to hide.

As soon as the dinner was over, everyone decided who would guard the night.

Everyone decided that the one who has the killer and has good experience in driving them will guard us, we have four Colt M1911, 1911 guns and M1 Garand, 1936, Caliber .30, M1, had five rifles and five men to guard the front tonight. Me and Dr. Zakir had their rifles. Me and Dr. Zakir were hiding in our places before 12:00 and peeping through the hole made in the tent, because such a wonder of jumping is sometimes seen, as well as there was fear in our hearts that we should not be caught and die.

The night was very dark, from above the fog had also kept a sheet.

The animals of the forest were making terrifying sounds, the most intimidating sound of wolves crying as if they were crying at us.

Most of the wild animals are scared in the forest, but we had a bigger problem than those animals and that problem was going to arise in just a few moments.

In no time the coffin opens and the Englishman's half-headed head comes out from inside it, which his hand comes out. His eyes were open and a light red light was coming out, as if all the blood of his body had come to his eyes.

After a while his torso rises in the air and slowly comes down towards the ground but his boot does not touch the ground.

He had a strange smile on his face.

He slowly moves forward in the air, we did not see him.

Before leaving the tent, he stops first, his head rolling around in his hand and seeing that the guard was very tight.

He thinks for a while, then immediately comes out and puts his head on his neck and a bright red light flashes.

The front guard's eyes become blind and they lose sight, as does bright light falling on their eyes and they go straight into their prey's tents.

From there a terrible squeak comes out and that member of our team dies seeing his terrible face. Me and Dr. Zakir had come out by now and were about to reach the tent when he went to his coffin at great speed and fell asleep. He did so at an astonishing speed.

All the people on whom that English ghost shone a bright light became blind, but he did not leave his prey even in the midst of so many people.

Not one of them could fire a bullet or a cartridge.

I said privately to Dr. Zakir, "I have found a weakness for this and I have an idea for this, just let the sun shine."

Those five team members had to be given first aid as their eyes started dripping with blood.

After tying his eyes well, Dr. Zakir took me to a secluded place and asked, "Look, the sun will be visible in a while, you were telling about some of your plans, what is that?"

I told him, "Not now, let the sun go out, then I'll tell you what to do."

Shortly after another dreadful night, after waiting impatiently, Suraj showed his face.

Now everyone had a little life in their lives.

When all the team members woke up, some of them were asked to bring out the coffin.

The sunlight was bright enough to fit my plan.

I asked the rest of my team to take the killer and stand ready to shoot him with bullets if the English soldier did anything.

The coffin was brought out and kept open in the bright light of the sun.

His complexion faded a bit, I went near him and lifted his head, he did not move because he was lifeless in the sunlight.

I put his head in a big bag like a cloth wallet.

Now closed the trunk and asked to load it on the horse.

I put the head in a small box and loaded it on a separate horse on which some sculptures were also loaded.

Now everyone started wrapping up their tents and got ready to walk.

The journey was long and tiring, yet we were not one to give up.

On the way, Doctor Zakir brought his horse closer to my horse and said, "Do you believe the danger is over now, what if he wakes up again tonight and hunts me", there was a look of concern on his face.

I reassured him "No need to worry, everything is under our control now. In fact his head was his most powerful part, from guiding him to the path, showing his terrifying face with a kind of magnetic red rays. He also used to do the work of killing and also used to blind his prey by removing laser rays from his eyes. Now his head was no longer as strong as he had to attach it to his neck to show his power, which revealed his terrifying form.

Now the treasure has actually become ours.

Doctor Zakir smiled and took out a cigar from his pocket, gave one to me and put the other in his mouth to burn himself, then both of us lit it with great gusto.

After a few puffs of the cigar, he said to me, "I will keep its torso in my Kanpur's Big Mansion for my research, but what will happen to the head, I will also have to think about it."

"I will put the head in my farm house on Nainital Highway. The family of the caretaker of that farm house also lives there. So there is no question of it disappearing from there because its disappearance means death of both of us." I also said in a very confident voice while smoking a cigar.

Dr. Zakir said, "Let's get rid of this danger, listen well, I have thought that diamonds have come out after filling a big box in the treasury, out of which if both of them divide 100 - 100 diamonds, then our coming five generations will be comfortable, a diamond is worth Rs 5 crore as of today. Even after dividing amongst ourselves and giving each diamond to the team members, we still have enough for the government's coffers."

I agreed and nodded my head and said, "It is four o'clock, now we should find a quiet and nice place and make a halt there. By tomorrow evening we will reach the village. Now let's take some rest. For the last two days this English officer has taken rest.

Dr. Zakir also said yes and instructed all the team members to halt.

I went to my tent and slept as soon as I made a halt, it was five o'clock in the evening, about ten o'clock the doctor Zakir himself came to wake me up and said, "Come on, it's time to eat, wash your hands quickly, our boys has hunted a deer today, its fresh meat is the menu for today's dinner."

I washed my hands in the small river nearby, all the team members were busy cooking deer together and laughing.

I sat near Dr. Zakir and asked him, "We have kept both the parts of that English officer's limbs in separate tents, otherwise, if his torso gets his head, then both of us are not well."

"His torso is in a separate tent and the head box has been kept aside as you said", said Dr. Zakir in reassuring words.

I looked at Dr. Zakir and said, "It's all fine, but tonight also we all need to be a little careful. Do this, put the box with the head in my tent, I have slept for a while, so that Englishman

I can keep an eye on the severed head comfortably, maybe tonight his torso will find his head, in such a situation, with the help of the team members, he cannot leave it, suppose if someone gets an eye, then the torso of that Englishman

His mighty head will be found again."

"I think you are absolutely right, we can't take the risk, now after talking to my men, I will put the head box in your tent", said Dr. Zakir, agreeing with me and calling two of his men to keep that box in my tent.

It was time to eat, after keeping the boxes in our tents, we all went to eat. Deer meat was made delicious to eat.

As soon as the meal was over, I went straight to Dr. Zakir's tent. We talked for a long time.

Sitting in his tent, we were looking both at the diamonds and keeping them separate.

As said by Dr. Zakir, we both sorted out a hundred diamonds which were unique and more precious.

He kept them in a small purse like a bag of cloth and after counting the members of his team took out a diamond for them too and kept it in a separate cloth wallet.

It was enough night I said good night to Dr. Zakir and went to sleep in my tent with my share of diamonds.

The dangerous box with the head of that British officer was also kept there.

I came to the tent and lay down for a while and started thinking that four people are guarding the camp tonight.

Even distributing diamonds will be in vain because as soon as the head is touched, first of all they will fall prey to me and later. I did not even know when I started thinking about it.

"Come here... where are you going... you stupid... come here in the name of the Queen", a strange voice was heard.

I opened my eyes because I had lost sleep, then lay there for a while to hear that voice again.

"I can hear the sound of your foot step", that unknown voice is heard once again.

When I saw that the head of that Englishman was giving voice from inside the box.

There was a bright red light shining inside that box, which could be seen clearly from the keyhole.

I thought in my mind that I had kept it in a big cloth wallet, then how can such a bright light shine from the box, it seems that someone has taken it out of the wallet and kept it like this in the chest, but its key was in my pocket.

Well this was not the time to think about all these things.

I picked up the rifle next to me and sat down, aiming at the entrance of the tent. If its torso had come from the front, it was ready to serve.

"Where are you... I'm waiting...in the name of queen come quick... today it's the doctor's turn...no one can take away the treasures of the East India Company ... in the name of queen come fast...where have you died", calls out a British officer from inside the trunk but there is no response.

Perhaps its torso had gone astray because of not being able to see it and the head was calling from inside the chest.

He called once... Then he was silent for a while and waited for the rest of his body to arrive. A wave of fear ran through me too.

Still, I had gathered some courage in myself,as the rifle was in my hand.

That English officer shouted once more "Hey you where are you monkey tail... in the name of queen when the sun will rise then you are going to come... come soon you fool". His voice was heavy and he was thundering above.

I thought that if its torso came out after hearing its sound, then trouble could increase.

A plan came to my mind, I called out to him "Who is there," then lowering my tone a little, said "Why are you making so much noise in the night, no one is going to help you."

"O! Doctor's companion Professor is speaking...you will also die you bloody thief, just let my torso come once ... In the name of the Queen, not a single man will stay alive", the English officer angrily said but now there was not so much emphasis on his coming out alphabets in his voice and words could not be easily heard outside.

My plan started working, he was also answering my questions and got entangled in things.

I asked him "Who are you my lord", looking at the box.

"I am Commander Brad Shaw Rowdy", the British officer replied to my question.

I continued the conversation and said, "India is now independent, Commander Saheb and now this treasure is the legacy of the Government of India".

"India became free, has this treasure been given by the High Command of the British East India Company under the supervision of Commander Brad Shaw Rowdy and if it is Brad Shaw, then no one can take this treasure, in the name of the Queen",

The commander replied that his voice was full of anger but at the same time he was very confident.

There was a great curiosity in my mind to know in detail about that treasure, so I asked him to tell all the things from the beginning because it was very important to know how he was connected to this treasure and the treasure was so far away from the city or village, away from the deserted mountains.

What he was doing in the cave was a riddle that only the commander could answer.

There was a great curiosity in my mind to know in detail about that treasure, so I asked him to tell all the things from the beginning because it was very important to know how he was connected to this treasure and the treasure was so far away from the city or village, away from the deserted mountains. What he was doing in the cave was a riddle that only the commander could answer.

The commander started telling all "There was a time when the East India Company had all the countries of Asia in the possession. This company had a big port like Singapore and Penang. It was the biggest source of employment in Britain.

In India, this company had an army of more than 2.5 lakh people. It was not only England, but people of all countries of Europe had interfered in their lives. People used to drink tea then of the East India Company, and wear clothes then of the East India Company, in the name of the Queen".

The commander continued the "Partegazi campaign in 1498 which Vasco da Gama found a way from the southern corner of Africa and connected India to Europe by sea route." During the ensuing decades, the Partghazi deaf using intimidation, intimidation and rioting all the trades of Bahar- e-Hind were captured and on seeing it, the sun of luck of Portugal started shining on half the sky.

Seeing them, the Dutch came to Bahr-e-Hind with their cannon-carrier naval ships and fighting started between the two countries.

When the Portuguese changed the history of India.England was watching this whole game very carefully, why would it have been left behind in this race?

Therefore, following the footsteps of these two countries, Queen Elizabeth established the East India Company in December 1600 and allowed it to trade with the countries of Asia with full ownership.

But the British did a thing which the two European countries, who came before us could not do.

British not only spent all the energy on the war trade, but also paid a lot of attention to the work of the embassy. This was the reason that the British sent an accomplished ambassador like Thomas Roe to India so that he would open the closed doors for the East India Company.

The British East India Company was established on 31 December 1600 by a Royal Charter as a joint stock company of London merchants that united to counter the competition of the Dutch in the trade of the East.

This company was given the monopoly of all trade in England with the East and even in that period dominated by mercantile ideas, precious metals were allowed to be taken out of the country to meet the expenses of their business.

The Company formally began its trade in India in 1613, after it had settled with the Portuguese who had come before it.

A decree of the Mughal emperor Jahangir allowed him to set up his own warehouses in India and the first factory was built at Surat on the west coast.

In 1617, Jahangir welcomed Sir Thomas Roe as the British's resident envoy to his court.

It was this humble beginning after which the Company gradually expanded its trading activities to other parts of India, and Bombay, Calcutta and Madras had become the three major centers of its activities by the end of the seventeenth century, in the name of the Queen.

He told further."Well, it was the emperor's anniversary and according to the Mughal tradition, he was to be weighed. The British Ambassador Sir Thomas Roe was also present in the court on this occasion.

The ceremony was being held on a square platform surrounded by water, a giant gilded scale was installed in the center of the platform.

Many silk bags were kept in one pan, in the other the fourth Mughal emperor himself, Nuruddin Mohammad Jahangir, rode cautiously.

The weight of Emperor Jahangir, including the heavy cloaks, the crown, gold and jewellery, came out to be about two and a half hundred pounds. In one pan the district was seated, the silk bags kept in the other were changed one by one.

First the Mughal emperor was weighed with silver coins, then immediately distributed among the poor.

Then came the turn of gold, then jewellery, then silk, and finally other valuables, the king's salamat's weight was compared.

This was the scene which Sir Thomas Roe, the British ambassador to the Mughal emperor Nuruddin Mohammad Jahangir's court, saw and noted in the diary about three hundred years ago.

But this astonishing display of wealth made Sir Thomas doubt whether the sealed bags were really filled with diamonds and jewels or gold, whether there were stones in them," the commander fell silent for a while as he spoke.

.

"What happened next", I asked curiously.

"Although Sir Thomas Roe had a good friendship with the emperor, but the biggest reason he was reluctant to trade with the British was that England was a small, unpredictable island and the emperor considered trading with it against his pride.

Sir Thomas Roe kept all these things in his diary, but Sir Thomas Roe did not give up, he used to make the emperor realize this.

That he is right but for business and for growth factories (warehouses) are very important, in the name of the queen", the commander added.

The reason why the emperor did not trade with England was also that the Mughal emperor considered only the Safawi emperor of Iran and the Ottoman Caliph as his rival in the whole world. To make an equal level agreement with a minor emperor was against his pride.

Sir Thomas Roe did three years of hard work, diplomatic gimmicks and gifts, not only with Jahangir, but from Wali Ahad Shah Jahan, exactly three hundred years before today, in August 1618, an agreement was signed, under which this company got permission to do business freely in Surat.But before that a lot of hard work had to be done, Sir Thomas Roe also wrote in his diary that on the one hand the people are poor and unemployed, on the other hand the emperor is leading a luxurious life.

The Maharaja says that all the wealth was looted from them. The emperor and his ancestors have almost emptied the Hindu king Maharaja's ancestor's treasury. Takes tax on everything even his holy place is taxed.From The Diary of Thomas Roe.The subject matter on the subject is not understood.The condition of the people of India from the business world is in such a situation. Jobs and employees working in the job - entered. People of India were quite happy will start the way it started. The happiness of the people of India in the recent past of the East India Company.

It was he who was later overturned. In 1623 Khurram revolted. Because Noor Jahan was trying to make her Son in law 'Nagar Yaar,' Wali Ahad.

Finally in 1627, the father and son reconciled.

Jahangir was married several times.

His most famous wife was Nur Jahan.

Who was the widow of a rebel officer Sher Afghan.

Jahangir died on 7 November 1627 due to illness.

He was going from Kashmir to Lahore at the time of his death.

The third son of Jahangir was the most successful whose name was Khurram.

Shah Jahan's childhood name was Khurram.

After the death of Jahangir on 24 February 1928, Shah Jahan ascended the throne.

The initial three years were spent in suppressing the rebellion of Jujhar Singh of Bundela and the Afghan chief Khan Jahan Lodi.

Shah Jahan also had a fight with the sixth Guru of the Sikhs, Har Gobind Singh, in which the Sikh army was defeated.

Shah Jahan was married to Arjuman Banu Begum, daughter of Asaf Khan. Which was later named Mumtaz Mahal.

In 1633, Shah Jahan conquered South India. Ahmednagar invaded the city and made it a part of the Mughal Empire.

A few years later, in 1636, he attacked Golconda, where the then Sultan Abdullah Shah had to face defeat.

Abdullah Shah accepted the suzerainty of the Mughals.

In the meantime, Mir Jumla, the vazier of Abdullah Shah, presented Shah Jahan the priceless diamond Kohinoor, "The commander was telling but I could not stop when I heard the name of Kohinoor.

I interrupted him in the middle of the story "What happened to the Kohinoor diamond, just tell me more", I asked with great curiosity.

"Why did your eyes go round on hearing the name of Kohinoor, Professor ", the commander sarcastically quipped, Shah Jahan built a special throne for himself. It took a craftsman named Syed Geelani and his team of artisans took some seven years to build this throne. Several kilos of gold was overlaid on this throne, it was decorated with many gems.

This throne was named Takht-e-Mursa.

Later it came to be known as 'Peacock Throne.'

Babar's diamond was also plated in it.

Jewelers from all over the world used to come to see this throne.

One of these was the Hortenso Borgia of the city of Venice.

Emperor Aurangzeb gave it to Borgia to enhance the luster of the diamond.

Borgia acted so clumsily that he broke the diamond piece by piece.

It was reduced to just 186 carats instead of 793 carats... Aurangzeb had in fact given the task of carving a diamond from a piece of Kohinoor to Borgia secretly and part of the same Kohinoor was mounted in the wall of Shah Jahan's prison, with the help of which he used to see the Taj Mahal and his beloved wife's soul.

Well this is a later thing, the most important thing is how Aurangzeb made Shah Jahan a prisoner and how this diamond and the treasure you got came to the British government, in the name of queen, now we will tell the rest of the story tomorrow, in the morning

It's time for our rest, you guys have survived tonight... Bloody idiot, just don't know where that torso of mine is, you and Doctor got saved tonight, but won't be tomorrow ", Commander said along and fell silent. There was confidence in his voice.

As soon as the commander fell silent, I understood that there was no danger to sleep. After listening to the story all night, I was also tired so I slept.

"Wake up brother, it's morning, it's morning, hey brother, it's morning", I opened my eyes and saw Dr. Zakir standing in front of him.

The doctor said again "hey this morning at 12:00 do you know what happened".

I asked "what happened", rubbing my eyes as most people do when they wake up.

"Yesterday the body of that British officer was patrolling out of the tent, because he could not see anything desperate little one was walking around outside the camp, last night a man on guard picked me up and then told all the things, came out of the tent and saw that the monsieur was sitting with the same guards.

They were all talking comfortably but there was no accident due to lack of hearing.

You were right that all the strength of that living corpse is in his head", said Dr. Zakir, holding me on my shoulders and looking at me.

I also started smiling for a few moments and then said "let's go, the danger is averted".

"What happened to you yesterday, after all you were with his most dangerous part", asked Dr Zakir, looking at me curiously.

"Nothing much happened, I just broke my sleep and saw that red light was coming out from the key place of that box, now there is no separate lock in the box. It was specially made for treasure or precious jewelry and

The head of the British officer was making a sound of his body. He was very angry but was unable to hear the voices of us humans", I lied to Dr. Zakir because I had to find out the one who opened the commander's head to the chest.

It was taken out of the cloth bag and kept in the box like this.

That's when the light was shining so brightly and its voice could be heard without suppressing it, usually when someone is covered with a thick cloth bag or sheet, the sound is heard suppressed.

Although Dr. Zakir was beyond my doubt and I know him very well, he is also my good friend and if he had to cheat, he would not have given my share of diamonds in advance, it was useless to doubt him.

"Okay, now freshen up, eat and drink something, we will leave by 11:00, then cross the hill and reach the village by 6:00 pm today. Staying there tonight, tomorrow morning in the trains, coming down from the mountains, the way to the highway

Will catch you, I had already arranged to stay in the village, will stay in the vacant bungalows of the same headman in which he had stayed before climbing", Dr. Zakir told me and left the tent.

When I opened that box as soon as he left, I saw that my suspicion was correct, the commander's head was kept like this without a cloth bag.

Then I closed that box and looked at the diamond wallet and everything was fine.

I kept those diamonds in my suitcase and locked them.

Got out of the tent to freshen up.

Team members were preparing breakfast.

I washed my hands with the water kept in the bucket outside the tent and shouted to a member of the team to send breakfast inside.

After breakfast all the goods were loaded on the horses.

After packing everything up we were ready to start the journey.

Today was a high and dangerous hill to climb with the horses.

Although the hills were not very high, but being rocky is a problem with the horses, especially when you have heavy luggage and we had many horses carrying treasure boxes and sacks.

Even before coming to the hill, Doctor Zakir came to me and said, "Professor, you are a learned horseman, then you will have to climb the hill with your horses first, then after stopping on the hill, the horses coming back will have to climb them with great care,

Once climbed, there will be no problem in descending again.

I told the doctor "don't worry, I will climb them comfortably on the hill".

As soon as I came to the hill, I started with my horses to lead the team, I first mounted my horses with great care, then stopped and raised the horses of all the members of the team, I went on giving directions to the members of the team

That was how to hold them in the right way, taking all the horses up the hill one by one and then taking them down very carefully.

Horses are very smart animals, if the horseman is good then he can get them to do a lot.

Horses can climb the mountains very well even after loading the weight, they just need a guide giving them the right direction.

As soon as we reached the village, we all went straight to the village leader bungalow, the leader had three houses in the village, in one he himself lived and in the other two bungalows he had arranged for the passengers to stay.

Now travelers did not come often, but still they used to earn good money from these bungalows.

There was also arrangement for the food and drink of the passengers, which the headman used to get made by the women of his family.

The funny thing was that village leader had done four marriages but all the women lived together without fighting.

As soon as we reached the bungalow, Dr. Zakir and I carefully kept our belongings in our rooms.

We were quite tired, so it was necessary to rest for a while to straighten the waist,I lay down on the bed.

TO BE CONTINUED...
