‘This way,’ the chief robber pointed towards the
dark lobby. Suffocation and deep smell
held their breath as soon as they started off. A mysterious quietness was overpowering
the gloomy way. Hassan felt his feet swamping in the sand. The footprints of
pharos were departed in kaput bricks in their way.
‘We have nothing while alive and King Khufu
constructed this giant and enormous pyramid as his burial place’ one of the
robber said.
‘Pharos
believed in life after death, so they buried their nobles with treasures and
slaves. After all he was an authoritative king. His interment deserved this,’
the chief robber looked angry.
‘I’m feeling
drowsy after looking at the lot of puzzled ways and lobbies here. It would take
a long to search for each other. What if we lost in these cursed riddles,’ the
first robber was reluctant to go forward.
‘Hey silly, a man with more than one wife should
learn from this structure to hide him from them. He made three separate
pyramids for his wives and kept the fourth one with him in hope to enjoy his second
life with her,’ the chief mocked at him.
PHARAOHS WILL RENOVATE THE PYRAMID FIRST
‘If he would ever wake up again, for sure he would die of suffocation and smell again,’ Hassan was still trying to adapt the atmosphere.
‘If he would ever wake up again, for sure he would die of suffocation and smell again,’ Hassan was still trying to adapt the atmosphere.
‘Don’t worry, he would order the renovation at once
and will shift to any luxury hotel meanwhile. “Many stories pyramids, hanging
on the pointed edge of each other. How they rose up to sky. There construction
is still a mystery.” Next generations will make inquiries on it,’ Murtaza’s
mind architect the future pyramids.

‘We came out here, after meeting a strange looking
man, having a strange looking picture. King Khufu’s anonymous wife, wearing a
precious bracelet primed with worthy stones.
Did he really worth to believe in his story and risked our lives?’ the
second robber first time broke his silence.
‘He must be talking about any one of the future
scientists Zaka or sigma,’ Hassan whispered to Murtaza.
‘I found this book during my robbery in one of the
pyramids. It tells about the precious gold bracelet, which was lost in Khufu’s
period. I’m sure that man was talking about the same bracelet. Look at the maps
and drawings here. They are going to help us to get over this maze. I do not
believe in him but this book. Now don’t waste time and move forward,’ the chief
put that book back in his gown.
‘We found and sell many remains of chariots, games
and other artifacts during my robberies in pyramids but we could never find any
gold from here. A queen would not be buried along with this bracelet alone.’
Greed got dense in the eyes of a second robber.
A DECAYED STAIR CASE
‘Stop,’ chief stopped at an intersection.
‘Look for a staircase here,’ he ordered.
They all lit there lanterns. After digging from
side, diminish signs of a staircase were apparent.
‘Descend and make our way,’ one robber pulled
Murtaza.
‘No, it’s dangerous,’ Hassan screamed at once.
‘Ok, then you takes this turn. What do you think,
are you on recreational trip?’ that robber dragged Hassan.
‘Now decide among you, if its difficult then let me
decide,’ the chief pushed them from behind. Murtaza hardly managed his balance
and held Hassan from falling. A great noise of falling bricks broke the
quietness. They closed their eyes for a while and hardly opened again after
believing that they were safe at least at first stair.
The staircase seemed ready to hold them. The robbers
were following them carefully. Huge shadows were crawling with them in the dim
light of lanterns. Screeching sounds of falling pieces of stairs were creating
a horrid panorama but they were advancing quietly.
TERMITE CRAWLED THEIR BODIES
‘Leave my feet,’ Hassan’s screams blocked their
feet.
‘Some insects
are crawling down. They are stirring up on my body rapidly,’
‘Deadly, stinging termites are all around,’ one of
the robber cried after feeling itching on his body. In no time those tiny
monsters attacked them from all sides.
‘Run fast, they’ll left behind,’ the chief robber
loped fast following the others.
The tattered Stair case could not bear their loping
and started to fall. They all started to
roll on falling stairs. Lanterns fell deep down and went off after struggling
with the soaring sand. Now they had no hope of their endurance.
‘Hold the ropes,’ one robber was able to throw some
ropes randomly. Hassan was falling too fast that he had no chance to take any
support. He felt himself falling down fast like any stone, which tumble down
from top and shattered at bottom.
CALL HASSAN ON DINNER
‘Zeemal, haven’t you called at Murtaza side for your
brother? Your father is also waiting for him at dinner,’ Hassan’s mother
entered the room.
‘Can you get off from this shit at any time? Are you
listening at me?’ she snatched her mobile.
‘Please mama, one last message,’ Zeemal protested
but stopped after looking at her mother leaving the room.
‘I’m not his servant to look him. He’ll come by his
own. I know they both must be playing video games,’ Zeemal sat on the dinning
chair.
I GOT IT
‘Oh yes, I found very important clue. Pharaohs used
these types of stones in their jewelry. This rock traveled from Egypt to
Pakistan, because of the movements of plate in the mantle. But how this stone
can have the characteristics of space stones? It is still a mystery’ Hassan’s
father was looking at the book.
‘I’ll share this with my team tomorrow,’ he also
came for dinner.
‘I think I should call myself,’ Hassan’s mother
dialed Murtaza’s mother mobile…..
