Bab 34: Go to temple for search hidden treasure.
Then it is a very dangerous place.
And how did they enter?
There are always many people in the temple.
Those two men were entering a special time. They realised that at times the temple was empty.
They took the opportunity to enter there.
How could they understand that there are no people in the temple at any time.
The red men thought, one of us had betrayed.
Our assumptions are correct.
"Didn't you catch that traitor?" said Mr. Philip.
Yes, I did.
It is impossible to evade us. Later I came to know that the red man did this heinous act out of greed for money.
I said, "Did you let him go?"
Ripvan said, "No, by order of the Inca he was dragged out of his house and taken to the temple. There a special worship was performed by the chief priest. When the priest finished his worship, the priest himself tore open the red man's chest with his hand and tore out his heart. What A tragic death it was! His loud screams sounded like an earthquake had originated in the Sun City. In the blink of an eye, the man died screaming."
I started shivering with fear hearing his words.
I said, "What a tragic death!"
Yes, Since then it has been punished for treason. And from then till today no one dared to betray. I have only betrayed the illusion of my own life. I don't know how long I can survive from them. If caught, my death would be similarly tragic. Even today my soul trembles when I think of that death.
Mr. Philip said, "Ripvan you don't worry. We won't let anything happen to you. If we can get back from here alive, we will take you with us to our country."
The colonel said, "What Ripvan, do you want to go with us?"
Yes, of course. I want to go wherever I can live.
I said, "Well, all right. We will take you with us. You will understand how free our life is when you visit our country."
We could not understand whether we were inside a cave or a grave. It's so dark inside the cave that I can't tell when it's night and when it's day.
The colonel peeped out and said, "It is evening now. We have to wait for the late night. We have to go to the temple tonight and find out the secret of that secret room."
Ripvan said with a slight smile on his face, "There is good news."
What news?
A grand worship has been organised at the palace of Sun City during the day yesterday. This puja was organised for the longevity of the Incas. Because of this, the entire area will be empty tomorrow. And there will be no one in the temple. This worship is performed at a certain time of the year. And that special time is tomorrow.
"Then the treasure hunt will be much easier," said Mr. Philip.
That's why he became depressed.
I said, "What's the matter Mr. Philip? What happened to you all of a sudden?"
Mr. Philip said while thinking, "If the treasure is not in that secret room of the temple, I may not have such a good chance like yesterday."
We all got worried after hearing his words.
Then we can go to the temple during the day.
Hmm, During the day the red people will be busy with worship in the palace.
It was a long night to talk. In the meantime Mr. Halder, Mr. Colonel and Philip fell asleep.
Ripvan and I are still awake.
There are reasons why the eyes do not sleep. I started thinking if there is no treasure in the secret room of the temple and if there is then how to reach there.
Ripvan said, "If I had not helped you today, I would have participated in that worship. This worship is organised only once a year. The palace is beautifully decorated. Dances and songs are arranged. There is a lot of fun in this worship. But luckily for me, that is the fun." Where are you?"
Don't worry Ripvan. Such programs are also organised in our country. Take a look at them.
After chatting for a while I said to Ripvan, "It's late at night. Go to sleep now. Tomorrow morning we have to leave again for the temple."
Ok, Go to sleep too.
I closed my eyes trying to sleep. Crazy thoughts started coming in my head. I wanted to chase away that thought like a mosquito but I couldn't. I felt like I had absolutely no control over those thoughts.
I closed my eyes for a long time.
Then I can't tell when I fell asleep.
Wake up in the morning with the call of the colonel. I opened my eyes and saw everyone standing in front of me in surprise.
I said, "What happened?"
The colonel said, "Nothing. You get up quickly. We have to go."
I woke up early.
Ripvan peeked out to see if anyone was outside. Then he said, "There is no one outside. Let's go now."
We all came out of the cave and started walking after looking around and checking everything.
We are in surrender.
Our movement is just like a timid deer.
Looking around and walking.
At one point we crossed the forest and reached the locality.
The place is deserted.
Apart from houses, ponds, gardens, etc., there is no sign of people there.
We could easily enter the temple. Because there was no one in the temple or around the city.
There is only an idol made of clay standing in the temple.
No sign of a secret room anywhere.
Mr. Philip asked Ripvan, "Where is the door to the secret chamber of the temple? That is, in what place underground is that chamber?"
Ripvan was silent for a while and took a good look around. Then he said in despair, "As I said before I have not entered that room before. And do not know where is the place under which the treasure is kept. I only know that the treasure is only in a secret room under the temple."
