Hi folks...how ru all doing?
Well.. this is really funny.. in the history of FF's that an FF is been updated exactly after an year😆
Sorry for that. May be lacked the inspiration, now that only a few are still reading & writing FF's for this show, we decided to finish off with this one at least.😛
Ok here we go...
Recap:
One day Prithvi was walking in garden to find some alone time for himself,to sort out things only to his surprise he found some parcel lying at one of the benches with his name on it.Pirthvi picks up the parcel in his hand observes it carefully he sees this -- symbol on its cover and realizes what the content of the parcel would be ,he then starts opening the parcel ... he was stuck to see the contents of the parcel ..t was the clue that would lead him to thing for which he was searching for past 3 yrs.
CHAPTER 9- Lost and Found!
All of a sudden why did he get it, who wanted him to have it? was someone conspiring ? all these quests started to arise in his Dhakkan ops mind . Whateva may be the reason it has come to him now, and he got what he needed at this point of time
He felt great, at last he got his due..searching it for so long. It was like some unseen force was helping him, may be some angel
Without any further delay he goes to his room and start packing his bag for the search of the clue he just found, Luckily.
Damini wonders what is he up to now, seeing this new twist in the story and decides ask him directly.
where on the other hand Prithvi puts each of his positions with utter mindfulness without missing anything behind.
" Am I missing anything?" Prithvi murmurs to himself.
"Yes! Me" A voice interrupts. It was damini with a tray in her hand.
For a brief moment he stops and feels the pinch that for not able to intimate her or anyone about it, but this was more important task for him than anything or anyone on the earth. He didn't want anyone to know about his disappearance, in reality he couldn't brave it to tell anyone that he was going behind the clue, neither did he knew where it would lead him to. He did want to hurt these people who stayed awake for don't know how many nights for him to get him back on his healthy self.
"I'm still waiting for you to do the honors Prithvi?" Damini says keeping the tray containing his medicines and a bowl of soup on the table.
"I..i aactually umm.. I'm going" rubbing his temple with his fingers, and busies himself back into the packing.
"I can see that Prithvi, where are you now going? You are still not ok, and I don't think its a good idea to search some useless clue which may lead you nowhere!"Damini points.
Little did Damini know that just that choice of word of hers would ignite Prithvi's rage to a huge extent.
"What what did you say?"
"Lead me nowhere?"
"Damini , I have at last got my due I am so going and that's final. No one is gonna stop me from achieving my goal...
this is my life I have been waiting for this moment since I was a kid, and now you say such baseless things. Prithvi's hands holding her arms in a tight grip.
"I know I just got out of a death trap, but I can't help it..this has been my dream, my purpose to breath "Prithvi explains
"I don't think that clue would lead you somewhere, you are living in a fantasy world Prithvi, on the first hand we don't know if the treasures Exits this date and secondly even if it does exist they are not easily traced, the clues must have been destroyed or even planted to mislead. And on the top of that you are so weak look at you, you can't even walk properly" Damini with a glint of concern in her voice
"Who made you my Mother?" Prithvi vexed, due to Damini's constant nag.
"Prithvi, please try to understand, you're not fit yet!
You can't just wake up one day and say I'm going for an adventure. You have to plan things, you have to map the places and everything counts here, your each step may lead you in an even more dangerous situation" Damini tries hard to convince him.
"Damini, I understand, I promise you that I'll take care of myself" Prithvi assures, even after knowing the fact that the chances of their next meet are thin.
"You won't budge, will you Prithvi?" Damini with firmness in her voice, moving towards him
"No naa..not for anyone" he snaps
"Prithvi, if that's the case then I'm going with you, I loovee treasure hunts ..Mumma says as a kid I was quite an adventure in myself" Damini with a bright face.
"Damini, I think I said I'm leaving now, and I don't want anyone to fall in any sort of danger because of me.
I understand Damini but, it would be wise if you stay out of trouble and away from me."He continues "I know I'm being very rude I'm just leaving you all without any notice, I think that's for their own good..You'll knew it soon" picking up his luggage advancing towards the door.
"Then what am I gonna do without you...un emm I mean I' I thought that was gonna finish my thesis under your guidance ..what about that?" she makes a last try to stop him.
He stops in mid way... "Then I would like to see you as a successful intern when I comeback." Says this he gives her a siren smile
Prithvi then moves leaving Damini and everyone behind in search of the quest.. the only quest in his life.
He walks for hours near the forest along the road side then a few days later he finds these caves and hill slops, the beauty of nature..the greenery which was beyond words..he had never seen such beautiful landscapes though he made
As he was walking he finds a very unusual ancient tree for anyone it would look like just another tree but this was Prithvi Saxena,a historian and cryptanalysis-he was known for his sharpness and intelligence it was in his blood. His family was known for their adventures, hunts . Prithvi recalls of the that day with his uncle when this seed of existence of hidden treasures sow.
...
...
...
Prithvi was 10 when his great-uncle, P.R. Saxena, pointed it out on a logging trip 59 years ago.
"He said, 'Boy, you see that Carving? That's a treasure wood,' " Prithvi recalled on a recent visit to the site. " 'You see that writing? If you can figure out what that is, you'll find some gold.' "
The old man didn't elaborate, but his words stuck with Prithvi's through childhood and he was so curious about it and now well he was to find out what did it exactly mean. So did memories of Grandpa's frequent, unexplained horseback rides into the nearby Hill Slops.
It was since then he took up an obsessive search -- for buried treasure.
The famous treasure hunter, Ajinkya had explored the nearby mountains in 1841 and local legend held that he hoard up gold there. Over time, Prithvi came to doubt the Local Legend angle, but linked what his forebears had told him to what he was hearing in town.
He sketched the symbols others described, tracked them down when he could and plotted them on topographical maps. During a stint at that place during his Internship days, he explored remote areas of the forest and found more carvings on trees and rock faces.
Many were recurring symbols: snakes, turtles, crescent moons, religious symbols like the OM, numbers and letters with odd shaped embodiments. He figured they were cryptic indicators of distance and direction, clues to buried riches.
By mapping them, Priithvi surmised that they ran along lines that might extend for miles as part of a larger "treasure grid." Tracing the lines with a metal detector, he says, he learned to systematically find buried clues, one leading to the next, everything from gun barrels to farming equipments to old artifacts. But he'd never lose hope.
Not finding anything concrete he opens the parcel again and recollects what his uncle at the farm house has decoded from the encipher which he found in the parcel.
On the piece of paper someone had scribbled few line
Four hang, four walk,
Four stand skyward,
Two show the way to the field
And one comes shaking behind
Prithvi wondered what does these lines mean now?? He was now totally confused?? "Is someone playing prank on me?? Kya yeh Damini ka kaam ho sakta hai?? Nahi Damini ko agar satana hota musjhe toh fir woh aise harkate tori karti...usse ke dimag mein toh isse bhi bade bade ideas hote hai jaise ki horse riding karna aur muhsje godhe se gara dena taki mein bed pe pada rahu..."
Seeing Prithvi talking to himself, his uncle got concerned and started asking Prithvi
Uncle : Kya hua beta, tum pareshan lag rahe ho?? Aur tum akele mein kya baat kar rahe ho??
Prithvi : Kuch nahi uncle...pata nahi kisine yeh packet yaha bench par chod ke gaya tha...aur iss packet mein sirf yeh ek paper mila hai jisse pe kuch ajeb lines likhe hai
Uncle : Lao dekhao musjhe... ummm
He reads the lines over and over again...n then it strikes to him that it is some sort of riddle.
Prithvi beta mushje lagta hai yeh kuch riddle ki tarah hai
Prithvi : wow gr8 uncle... but hai kya yeh riddle
Then both of them together tries to decipher the riddle
Four hang, four walk...Might be for 4 legs
Four stand skyward....again it says that it stands on four legs
Prithvi: isska maltab yeh koi animal hoga...
Two show the way to the field... 2 an it shows way matalb it has to be 2 eyes
And one comes shaking behind...shaking behind means it has to be tail..
Uncle : But again its not giving any clue abt which animal...
Prithvi : wait ek sec uncle it says ' way to field... isska matalb this animal goes to field for grazing...means this animal must be grazing animal like cattle's...means cow or something else...
But then again uncle agar even this riddle points out to cattle then why it is send to me?? Mera kya lena hai cattles ke sath??
Uncle : Prithvi soocho zara kuch toh hoga tumhare iss mission ke saat?? Might be koi place ho jaha cattles they...
Prithvi : ummm kya pata uncle... ahhh bingo uncle aap such mein great ho...cattle Mehrgarh mein graze kiya karte they... coz waha farming ki jati thi... matalb iss ka hai ki mera next clue mushje waha hi milega...Thank You soo much uncle...
He finally reached Mehrgarh...
Now he know since it cattle was his clue... somewhere near to grazing field site his next clue would be...But then how is he supposed to know that wat would be his clue...or what he was trying to find...
After searching the entire area for days and days all he could gather was some types of farming tools, some transcripts which gave no other clue n some coins...
Now again his quest has hit the dead end...
~~~~~~^^^^~~~~~~~^^^^^~~~~~~~
Precap:
Damini sincerely working hard for her phd.
Prithvi is one of the panel members for her final thesis... "Lets see tum ab kaise answer kartee hoo" challenges Prithvi.
And Prithvi went on asking the most toughest questions.
~~~~~~^^^^~~~~~~~^^^^^~~~~~~~
Thanks for reading the update.
Have a nice time.
Regards
Kanchan and Sia
