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.

Night In London- 2

After a while when she gets tired of reading, she takes a finger and again her attention automatically turns to the same window pane, once again it is printed on the window "I have waited to long, now I am coming for you", Amelia begins to feel fear once again, this time she was a little too scared and that was the reason why she decided to show it to Michelle, this time facing the other side behind her.

, but alas, as soon as she turned to Michelle, everything written on the window pane was gone.

So he did not say anything to Michel after seeing this and buried this thing inside himself.

Amelia was now thinking for a while that why this is happening, whether is being printed on the window is my illusion or is it really happening.

Amelia had become a little more serious about the matter.

She thought about it on her study table for a while, then after a while switched off her table lamp and lay down on her bed to sleep.

Thinking about this subject, she falls asleep.

"How are you feeling now?" Michelle asked as Amelia's eyes opened in the morning.

"Feeling better than ever, got a restful night's sleep too", Amelia replied to Michelle.

"Yesterday a letter came fo you from Kingham England, the hostel in-charge returned late yesterday so couldn't give it, she came this morning and gave it, read it, then get ready quickly and come down to the dining hall for breakfast. ," said Michelle while handing a letter to Amelia and then left the room.

Amelia opened the letter eagerly because it was from her aunt, her mother's real sister, whose memories were associated with Amelia's childhood.

Amelia's mother and her sister Angela started living together a few days after their father's death.

Amelia's mother and Angela's father passed away a year after his wife's passing, with all his property in the name of Angela.

Amelia's father rented out the entire property, which made a substantial profit to his wife and Angela, and bought two new properties, one for Angela and the other in Amelia's name.

Aunt Angela wrote a letter to Amelia many years after her marriage , because she had fallen in love with a young man named Thomas and Amelia's mother was not ready for this relationship.

Due to this, Amelia's aunt was forced to run away and get married.

Amelia's father later found her aunt and gave her the papers of Kingham's property, which included 50 acres of farmland, purchased in her name.

After all these years, Amelia's happiness knew no bounds when she received her aunt's letter, she quickly began to read the letter.

"Dear Amelia,

Hope you are in good health and enjoying your college days.

A lot of time passed and I didn't even write any letter to you because of my sister's displeasure, but when your father came to know that you had taken admission in the University of London, I could not survive and I sent this first letter for so many years.

After writing to you, I always miss you guys here and always share your words with my twin daughters Clara and Sandra.

This Sunday is your sisters' fifth birthday and I want you to come to our place this weekend and join the birthday party.

You will be like a special gift to my daughters, you will have to obey your Aunt Angela.

Your father will talk to the hostel in-charge on the phone, I had already talked to him on this subject, if you want, you can catch the saturday night train.

I'll call again at your father's office to remind you.

Surely we will all eagerly wait for you to come.

May you all get lots of love from all of us.

May god bless you...

Your own loving aunt,

Angela".

Amelia gets emotional for a while after reading the letter and starts reminiscing about the happy moments of her childhood that she spent with her lovely Aunt Angela.

Angela was no less than a mother to him.

She used to tell Amelia fairy tales every night.

Used to get Amelia's school homework done.

Amelia remembered every moment she spent with Angela.

In front of his eyes again, a wave of those old memories run through.

After a while she came back from her thoughts and got ready and sat down at the dining hall table for breakfast with the rest of the girls.

"Don't remember Jennifer's party tonight", Michelle said to Amelia while she had breakfast.

"Yeah I remember he invited her to his birthday party a week ago", said Amelia, looking at Michelle.

"So today, after your lectures, come to my history department building, we'll go together from there," said Michel, directing Amelia.

After attending a lecture at the university, Amelia went to the history department building where Amelia saw Michelle talking to a man, before Amelia could even get close to him, he went to the other side.

Amelia said as she approached Michelle, "Who was he, who was taking you about class so well," Amelia asked Michelle with a smile.

"That's doctors Zakir, from India and is very good lecturer, the best in the Archeology department fade in front of them, he only got name and fame overnight by searching for a part of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's treasure, he is very intelligent", Michelle tells Amelia about Doctor Zakir.

"I don't know why I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, can't remember exactly where I've seen him, but his face look familiar", said Amelia, looking at Michelle.

"Maybe you've seen him, tell me whenever you remember, it's time to have a party where the boys are going to come, so let's go and hit the floor ", Michelle said to Amelia in a naughty manner and both of them went towards the car in which they had to reach Jennifer's house for the party.

Dr. Zakir also arrives at his home from the university, where he finds Alex, who used to steal valuable archaeological objects for the doctor, which are officially the property of other countries, the business of shredding them and selling them on the black market.

"Come on... Welcome, Doctor, to your own home," said Alex, looking at the doctor.

"Alex what are you doing over here", the doctor asked Alex in surprise.

"Forgot Doctor, you told me to get King Arthur's sword, I stole it, but you'll have to increase the price because the job was risky", Alex told Doctor Zakir.

"Look, I've already paid you a considerable amount, now I won't increase the price", said Dr. Zakir, in a flat refusal to Alex.

"Look doctor, we take the risk and you just sell that stuff to the buyer with your mind, it will be good for you, so the amount will have to be increased", said Alex putting pressure on the doctor.

"And if I don't agree," said the doctor, objecting.

"Then I'll have to force you," said Alex, looking at the doctor, and suddenly two of his men from behind pointed two Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolvers at the doctor.
