Sumedh's POV
We went to the Royal Library. A man was there. "Sa, hame Raj Mahal ka naksha chahiye" I said. He nodded and took us to a room downstairs. He searched in some books and finally found it. He gave us the map and left.

We opened it. "What the hell is this? Kucch samajh hi nhi aa raha" Dimpana said. It was really big. There many corridors, rooms, halls...

"Guys dhyaan se dekhna hoga...main entrance dhoondte h, fir sab kucch mil jaega" Kabir said. We found the entrance and some rooms as well.

We found some famous and important halls and marked them. "Yaha se shooting start krte h" Mahima said. We agreed.

"Yeh kya h?" Dimpana asked. We looked at it. It was one of the biggest rooms of Raj Mahal. "Haan yaar, yeh kabhi nhi dekha" I said. We took the map and left the library.

The next day, we started shooting in the main halls.

After some hours, we were damn tired. We decided to have some rest.

"Ham dono Royal Garden me ghoomne jaa rhe h" Kabir said and took Dimpana with him.

I was sitting with Mahima. I rested my head on her shoulder. She kept quiet for a couple of seconds. "S...Sumedh, don't cross your limits. Ham 'friends' h" She reminded. "Haan pta h. Friends me itna to chalta hi h...c'mon yaar" I said. She smiled. "Aur vese bhi, me itna thaka hua hu...as a friend tumhara farz banta h k tum meri seva kro" I said. "Oh really? Farz? As a friend? Baat to ese kar rhe ho jese mere pati ho" She said. "To bna lo na. Rishte ka rishta, seva ki seva!" I said. She chuckled and blushed.

Kabir's POV
Dimpana and I were roaming around the garden. Finally we sat under a tree. After some minutes I laid and rested my head on her lap. "Kabir?" She said cocking her eyebrow. "Yes Sweety?" I asked innocently. She rolled her eyes. "Kucch nhi. Tum kabhi nhi badloghe" She said. I chuckled.

I held her hands. "To badalna chahta bhi kon h? I know tumhe me ese hi accha lagta hu" I said. She looked at me and blushed. "Dekha! Dekha! Tumne blush kiya" I said. She looked away. "Nhi...woh to...bas...ese hi....hame chalna chahiye I think. Woh hall bhi dekhna h na" She said. I nodded and we went in my room.

We four decided to visit that big hall. "Nakshe k according, hall ka raasta Royal Kitchen k paas wale corridor se hokar jata h" Sumedh said looking at the map.

We went to the kitchen and walked through the corridor. "Left" Sumedh said. We turned left. "Abhi? Left ya right?" I asked. "Seedhe" He replied looking at the map. "What? Seedhe kese? Aage raasta hi nhi h...deewar h" Mahima said. He looked at the wall. We were confused. "Dikha yaar...tujhe to theek se map dekhna bhi nhi aata" I said and snatched the map from his hands. "Dekhle. Nikaal-le jo saap nikalna h" He said and we chuckled. We were on the correct way. But there was a wall infront of us.

"Mene suna h ese mehlo k khufiya raaste hote h" Dimpana whispered. "To isme itna dheere bolne wali kya baat h?" I asked. "Are deewaro k bhi kaan hote h" She said. "Khufiya raaste...deewaro k kaan...kesa mahal h?" Mahima asked. We chuckled. "Vese Dimpana ki baat me dam h. Yaha aas paas dekhte h...kucch to hoga" Sumedh said. We started looking around.

We didn't find anything.
Dimpana was continuosly tapping her foot on the floor. "Ek minute" I said. She stopped. "Dimpana wapis kro" I said. She did it again. "Iski heel kucch alag sound kar rhi h na? Normal floor pe esa nhi hota" I said. Sumedh nodded. "Neeche h kucch...carpet htao" Sumedh said.

We moved the carpet. There was a sort of wooden box. We opened it. We found a kind of puzzle. "Isko milae to lion ban-na chahiye" Mahima said. We put the stones together and it actually formed a lion. As soon as we did this, the wall opened like a door.

Sumedh's POV
When the door opened, we saw a staircase. We went downstairs. The door behind us automatically closed. The was complete darkness. We turned our mobiles' torches on. We followed the stairs and finally reached a hall. There was dust everywhere. The hall was full of spider webs. "Guys...ek baat poochu?" Dimpana asked. We nodded. "Ham yaha ae kyu h?" She asked. "Adventure babes" Kabir said. She rolled her eyes.

"Kaun h?" A voice asked. We were damn shocked when we heard a fifth voice in the hall. Someone was there. It sounded like and old woman's voice.

We turned towards the direction where the voice came from. Yes, we were right. There was an old woman. "A...aap k-k-kon h?" Mahima asked. "Pehle btao tum log kon ho?" She asked, looking at us. Our torches were disturbing her so we turned them off. She lit up some candles.

And then came to us. She looked at Dimpana and Mahima. Then she turned towards us. She looked at our faces carefully. We were a bit confused. We looked at each other. "Yuvraaj? Shehzaade?" She said happily. "Aap...aap hame pehchanti h?" We asked in unision.

"Boht acche se. Mujhe pta tha tum dono zarur aoghe. Aao betho mere paas" She said and we sat together. "Kon h aap? Aur yaha kese?" We asked. "Me tumhare Daada ki maasi hu" She replied. "Daada ki m...lekin aap yaha kyu h? Aap to Raaj gharane se h to fir yaha?" I asked. "Btati hu...me tumhare Daada ki maa k saath yaha dahej me ai thi. Sab kucch accha chal raha tha. Ek din tumhara Daada aur unke Pita, shikaar par gey. Jungle me unhone galati se ek aurat ko maar dala. Woh aurat ek Saadhni thi. Uska Bhai Saadh tha, usne Raaj parivar ko shrap de dala ki Raaj parivaar ka har mard, tadap tadap k marega. Koi bhi mard apni teesri pidhi nhi dekh paega, usse pehle hi uski maut ho jaeghi" She narrated.

We widened our eyes. "Fir?" Kabir asked. "Mene Saadho ki zindagi k baareme bohot padha tha. Mene sabko kaha k yeh shrap zarur sach hoga, lekin meri baat kisi ne nhi maani. Unhe lga me jhooti kahani banakar Raajya haathiyana chahti hu. Fir mujhe is kothri me band kar diya gaya" She said. "To...kya woh shrap sacch hua?" I asked curiously. She nodded. "Tumhe nhi pta? Tumhare Pita k janam se thik kucch din pehle unke Daada ki maut ho gey. Tumhare bade Bhai k janam lene se pehle hi tumhare apne Daada ki maut ho gey" She said. "Lekin woh to bimaar the" Kabir said. "Sabko yehi lagta h. Par sach to yeh h k unki maut iss shrap se hui h" She said. "Naah...me nhi maanta. Aap kahani bna rhi ho. Esa thodi hota h" I said. "Yuvraaj sab pta h mujhe. Mujhse kucch nhi chupa. Gurukul? Mahima? Dimpana?" She said. I widened my eyes and mouth. "Arey baap re! Accha to ab hame kya krna chahiye?" Mahima asked. "Raaj Parivaar ko shrap se mukti dilao. Yeh tum hi kar sakte ho" She said. "Kese?" I asked.

"Pratapgarh ki praja me ek kutiya h. Waha ek Saadhu rehte h. Woh tumhe sab kucch btaenghe" She said. We nodded. "Ab tum log jao" She said. We nodded and stood up to leave.

Finally we went upstairs. The door opened and we went out of that hall.

We went to my room and sat on the couch. Nobody was speaking. "Sach hoga woh sab?" Kabir asked. "Hmm...tu khud soch na. Woh aurat waha kya kar rhi hogi? Use kese pta hamare purkho k bareme? Itna kucch jaanti thi woh...sach hi hoga" I said. "To ab kya karna chahiye hame?" Dimpana asked. "Saadhu se milne chalte h" Mahima said. We agreed with that decision.
