The Diary (Last Chapter)
The commander further narrates the story "Next morning I called my special 9 friends from the same troop, all of them were skilled hunters whether they were human or animal. I told them that I had made a plan in which the British regiment in the surrounding areas of the city would be engaged in the work of treasury, in the surrounding town every messenger has to keep an eye on the one who makes gold idols and precious showpieces and as soon as we get any news, we have to contact our head quarter directly, we will go to the next city in search of treasure this afternoon, taking the path of the forest, this will be an intelligence mission in which we will have to take the form of hunters, British Government
The report will have to be given at every head quarter from where we will also get information about that robber.
He had tons of gold Asharfi which would take at least five horse carts to carry, he would only reduce these items, so he wanted to reduce the number of these Asharfis to convert them into idols, jewelery or showpieces.
He will meet the shaper, if our guess was not wrong then those robbers will go through the forest to the nearest beach town and from there we will all be chasing him together and he will be caught.
Apart from the British High Authorities, no one was aware of this mission of ours, so it was to be shown in every city that we have come to India for hunting, even those robbers would have been convinced that we were hunters from abroad.
The news spread like wind in India, so the robbers would have come to know that we are officers of British East India, so it was necessary to convince everyone that we all trade the trophies of animal heads and skins .
If needed, military contingents from the nearest head quarters were also given to help.
Our brave comrades agreed to lay down their lives on this mission and we all took permission from our senior officers to go on this mission.
The officers of the British East India Company High Authorities only knew that the treasure was with that robber.
Aurangzeb himself had stole the treasure, only I knew this, but Aurangzeb himself did not know that we know everything.
On the other hand, as soon as Aurangzeb came to know about the treasure, he angrily severed the neck of the informer from the torso with his sword.
He had crushed the good in the sword fight.
His sword used to move like lightning.
His anger grew so much that he now decided to wipe out all the special supporters of his father.
By doing this, the emperor would have become weak and Aurangzeb would have captured the throne with his force and military might.
But before working on this plan, he called a special friend of his so that he could find out the person who robbed the treasure and wiped him out and brought the treasure to him.
He was well versed in the jungles and streets of the cities of India.
We left for the forest in the afternoon according to our plan.
One last time before I left, I held Amelia to my chest for a long time.
She was also holding me tightly, it seemed that we might not meet again, so the two lovers should not be separated from each other, so they were tightly hugging each other and kissing each other by saying goodbye.
The Kohinoor was with me because if its stay with Amelia could have become a disaster for her life.
Amelia stayed at my own bungalow till she left India.
After spending one night in the forest, we felt success the next day.
A member of our crew found the dung of the horses.
He got off the horse and picked up a small wooden stick from the ground, then inserted it into the horse's dung to see how wet it was.
Then he took the wooden stick to his nose and sniffed, "It's about nine hours ago", a common method used by soldiers of the British East India Company to hunt and track down robbers.
Whether it be animal poop or human feces, they change over time, they dry up and their smell also changes.
I said that "we are all going in the right direction, now just keep going straight, resting the horses in between and then making them run fast. Those robbers have a lot of weight, their horses will not be able to catch that much speed and we people will get very close to him".
We got very close to his party even before we went according to plan and reached Calcutta on the sea coast, now dividing ourselves into teams of five, keeping a good distance from them from both directions, we were traveling with them.
Their numbers were large, so it would have been foolish to attack them at once, so we waited till we reached the city.
As soon as we reached the city, I and a fellow went to the head quarter of that city and gave all our reports to the high command there and demanded the soldiers for help.
The high command there took immediate action, since we knew that they were staying near the city limits, so they could be apprehended only with the help of a military contingent of a few soldiers.
Taking the soldiers himself, in the disguise of a masked hunter, attacked to arrest those robbers.
The fight went on for a long time, then the shelling from their side reduced a little, so we felt that we were all on the way to victory.
The attack continued from our side, after some time there was silence.
Thinking that all his men were probably dead, we went ahead and saw that only fifteen people were blocking our way and the rest of the team had left.
When I got a chance, I put the Kohinoor in one's pocket and then pretended to meet him, which convinced everyone that they were the same robbers of the royal treasury.
The news spread like fire everywhere, when Aurangzeb came to know about this, he was very ashamed because the British defeated his ego by getting the Kohinoor back to the royal family, the British East India Company got the rights over those posts from the emperor.
We ten brave hunters again started chasing the robbers from where they had confronted them.
We continued our journey in the same way, giving rest to the horses in between and then making them run at full speed.
This time the robbers had understood that someone had followed and now it would not be right to take the sea route, so they started traveling again through the forest, but the way forward would have to be decided through the mountains.
It so happened that once again he reached the nearby city through the forest, but this time we all did not show our best.
He stayed there for a while and we gave him a chance to melt a few tons of gold asharfis and transform them into whatever shape he wanted.
This time they were convinced that no one was following them.
Being careless, they started roaming around the city.
All of them used to stay separately, but the work of melting the gold asharfis and shaping them was of the chief man of the chieftain.
One day the news of that gold craftsman was given by a messenger at the outpost of that city, the news reached us and after gathering the soldiers from the head quarters, once again attacked in the form of masked hunters.
This time there was a lot of chaos in the city.
We all thought that all the treasures would be in one place but the treasure got out of hand again.
In this way, those robbers were convinced that it would not be right to proceed again, once again they took the path of the forest, we started chasing them again, but before that in the city we got a small part of the treasure in which a few tons of asharfis.
Everyone there ordered that whatever has been received should be given directly into the hands of the royal family, so that the Mughal emperor and the rest of the royal family should know that we have no position in front of the brave soldiers of the British East India Company.
It would also increase the confidence of the royal family in us and they would all be a little embarrassed too.
As soon as they followed my orders and the emperor got a few tons of Asharfis of the treasury share, he understood that the British soldiers were no less than anyone, Aurangzeb also now realized that without joining the British East India Company with him, he would not become an emperor.
So he joined hands with the British High Command and those officers supported Aurangzeb.
In this way, the hands of the workers who had built the Taj Mahal together were cut off, who had made preparations to build the black Taj Mahal.
All of them together in the report, losing their balance of mind because of the loot of the treasure against the emperor, gave the order to cut off the hands of the workers, because the black Taj Mahal could not be built, it was shown that.
On the other hand, chasing those robbers again came a time that we came very close to them but kept a proper distance.
This time he took only the path of the forest, in which it was impossible to come to the city in any case.
We also got a little worried now because it was impossible to catch them without some kind of help, it seemed as if the chief of those robbers was taking the treasure to hide somewhere he already knew and we could get help only from the cities.
While traveling like this for a few days, a plan came in my mind that why not reduce them in number one by one, we are ten and if we kill one every day, then ten men will die every day because even now there are forty in their team.
Now this was the only way left to deal with them.
We all pondered over this idea and spent three days to bring it into action, now that the high mountains and cold of the Himalayas had become a part of the journey.
It was good that we had already taken warm clothes and blankets from the head quarter of the city before chasing them because the feeling of mild cold had started from there, then we also had the skins of those animals which we hunted on the way.
Taxes made their own food, most of them included deer.
But the real concern was not the cold, the dangerous gorge and natural calamities that could change the course of our story at any time on those mountains.
Nevertheless, we all worked on our plan and on the first day, before the morning sun appeared, ten of his men were hunted, they were sitting in the bushes of the forest doing defecation in the morning.
From our side, we tried our best to make everything look like a wild animal and on the first day we all succeeded. Now only thirty people were left in the team of those robbers.
The robbers buried the dead together and started preparing to move forward.
All of us were also chasing him by keeping a proper distance, till now we had not come in his sight.
Another day came to an end with a dark night, we were hiding and waiting for some more time to pass.
As soon as we got the opportunity, we again attacked the ten victims who had separated from their team to do the morning defecation, but while hunting them, unfortunately one of our companions got a dagger in the stomach, but together we all took him away from there.
.
Those robbers came to know about it when the light came on.
They were now aware that someone was following them, so some of them searched all of us in every direction for a long distance but we could not reach all of us.
Then, keeping an eye on his team for three days, we kept walking with him, because one of our companions was still injured, so cleverly kept walking with him, not falling in his sight.
We all had now reached the same area from which you found the treasure and we, but the cave was still far away.
As soon as the condition of our companion improved, we all reached near that cave, we got suspicious that these people are hiding the treasure somewhere around here because their team was staying at the same place for a long time, so we all joined together in the same place.
Day planned to attack.
We had a lot of bullets and some bullets were stolen from those dead robbers.
Everyone wore the uniform of the British East India Company that day, which we had kept with our belongings for so many days, then choose our place and spread around to attack.
It was difficult to see all of us because of the mountains.
We decided to attack their camp directly where there were ten people.
As soon as we fired the first shot and killed one man, the rest also killed their share of victims, now there were only ten men left in the band of robbers who were probably working to keep the treasure in the cave, we all
Proceeding from their stop, till then they all became alert as soon as they heard the sound of bullets, they already attacked in hiding, two of our comrades were killed as soon as two shots were fired.
We all took cover of the rocks and fought in hiding.
Everyone started firing on bullets, we all did not even think that we were surrounded by snow-capped mountains, due to the sound of bullets, the snow of some mountains started falling, due to which many of his companions were buried in the snow flood, we all thought that now we have victory.
So everyone got out from behind the rocks and started moving towards the cave.
In this, some of his survivors attacked with swords, the fight went on for a long time, all my comrades were put to death one by one because there was no chance to fire any bullets.
I was competing with the leader of robbers , where we saw him face to face for the first time, he belonged to a Sikh community.
Till now, whenever I looked from afar, I had only seen him wrapped in a shawl, the face was always covered.
There was a fierce fight between the two of us.
But he was more expert in sword fighting,
He told us before cutting our neck, "Our fight was not with you, we had looted this treasure of Shah Jahan for the purpose of avenging our sixth guru, how long did we have to wait, this rebellion was started since our sixth guru
We had died, how hard we defeated an emperor, we will not allow this treasure to be in the hands of any person belonging to the Mughal Sultanate. Sorry but you will also have to die and we will destroy every person who will hurt the honor of our guru ".
After saying this, he separated my head from the torso and closed the cave with a big stone placed next to it.
Afterwards, he made me sit on a stone in front of the same cave and kept the head in my hands in such a way as to keep the head in my lap, then left with the remaining four companions.
But as soon as he descended the mountains, he was taken prisoner by Aurangzeb's friend, even after a lot of interrogation, he did not say anything, did not even told his name, after being tortured for a few days, he died in action.
His last words were "Wahe Guru Ji Da Khalsa Wahe Guru Ji Di Fateh".
For three hundred years while waiting on the same snowy hills with unfulfilled desires and guarding the treasure, my soul got so much strength that as soon as head connects with my body, it gets supernatural power.
How many desires were there that remained buried in the heart, such as marrying Amelia to give her a life of honor, to fulfill my duty by giving treasures to the British East India Company, etc.
After hearing the story of the commander, I got an idea that wealth has no meaning in this life if it is not with you.
That morning he told me before putting his head in a cloth bag and locking it in the chest, "You will not be able to sell the diamonds that Doctor Zakir has given you until I get my body, there is a secret, which I will tell only to the person who helps me to assemble my torso and head", so I bought this big mansion from Dr. Zakir because the commander's body was with him and I kept the head in the farm house in Nainital, where there were two elephants.
The statue of elephants made of its teeth will be found, which has a slight bulge on its back, as soon as it is pressed, the lid of their back will open, which contains diamonds, both elephants have fifty - fifty diamonds, which are worth crores.
I could not complete this work because the responsibility of my wife was also on me and these old bones were no longer strong enough to meet the challenge ahead.
Don't know which secret is buried in the commander's chest.
It will be known only to the one who will help him to join his rest of the body with his head, but there can also be danger in it.
TO BE CONTINUED...
