Diksha's POV:
There was written 1999 on it. It was black. I picked it up, it was locked. The diary looked quite old. I don't know why but I wanted to open it.

I forgot about the file and got upstairs.

"Arey Aarti! Dekho mujhe kya mila!" I called her.

"Kya mila tumhe?" She shouted back.

"Yaha toh ao me dikhati hu" I responded. She came after some minutes.

"Yeh dekh, ek diary. Woh bhi 1999 ki" I said looking at the dirty diary.

"Accha? Mujhe toh kabhi nhi dikhi..." she said thinking.

"Yaar, agar tumne saal me 2 baar pao rakha he store room me, toh kese dekhi hoghi?!" I replayed.

"Haan haan, ab chup chap Lab chalo... late ho raha he, Boss gussa ho jayenghe" she said.

"Arey haan... diary ke bare me wapis aake sochenghe" I said and went in my room to change my clothes.

We were ready in 10 mins and I drove the car to the Lab.

As I reached the Lab I went to my seat and she went to hers. Zaan was already there.

I changed my mind. Now I know that Zaan Is a nice guy. Some days ago I asked him sorry for my behaviour and now we talk to each other nicely. He still flirts but I don't get angry on him. Because I know is natural for him.

"Hey Diksha! Kesi ho?" He asked as he saw me.

"Hey! I'm fine" I answered with a smile.

I started to make a powerpoint on the new project.

"Yaar yeh kya he? Mujhe aaj kuch samajh nhi aa raha!" I thought looking at the powerpoint. After sometime finally I finished it.

A lady came to us.

"Boss ne Zaan, Diksha aur Aarti ko bulaya he cabin me meeting ke liye" She said.

"Ok hum aate he" Aarti said.

"Aisa kya hoga jo Boss ne sirf hum teeno ko bulaya?" Zaan said.

"Pata nhi... chalo chalke dekhte he" I said.

We reached the cabin. I knocked and entered the cabin.

"Boss apne bulaya hame?" Aarti asked.

"Haan... mujhe aap sab se kuch zaaruri baat karni he" he said seriously.

"Boliye na Boss" I said.

"Guys, jaise apko pata he hamari position niche jaa rahi he. Hamari Lab India ki best Lab he aur World me 2nd rank pe thi, lekin ab..." he took a deep breath

"4th position par he" he said disappointingly.

We were all shocked... that was really very weird... one week ago we were at 2nd place and now at 4th. That was really shocking...

"Toh mene decide kiya he ke hame kuch na kuch toh karna hi padega pehle wali position pe aane ke liye..." he continued.

"Ham kya madat kar sakte he? Jo bhi hamse hoga woh ham karenghe Boss..." Zaan said confidently.

"Mene yeh decide kiya he ke sirf aur sirf tum teeno ek trip par jaoghe... India se bahar, Asia se bahar... Sterkfontein..." he said firmly.

Sterkfontein? What kind of name is that?

"Tum teeno Africa jaa rahe ho 2 mahino ke liye. Tumhare paas 2 hafte he tayari karne ke liye, is jagaha ke baare me research karne ke liye... Saara paisa hum Lab Association lagaeghi. Bas tum log tayari karo aur paise ki chinta mat karo" he finished.

"Lekin Boss, ham teeno hi kyu?" Aarti asked curiously.

"Kyun ki tum hi is kaabil ho. Yaad he kuch din pehle maine sab sciencetists ka test liya tha? Us test me tum teeno ka test best tha. Woh test hamne is liye kiya tha ke ham sahi logon ko chun sake" he explained.

Now I understood why we did that test!

"Ab tum log jaa sakte ho, ham jald hi ek letter send karenghe tum sab ke ghar... aur usme sab kuch likha hoga"

We left.

Actually that was a bit unexpected from all of us.

"Toh ab aaghe kya kare?" I asked

"Esa karte he tum dono mere ghar aa jao, hum wahi research karenghe, mere papa ko bohot shonk tha maps ka... mere ghar me bohot padi hui he. Aur unhi maps me se hame shayad hame Sterkfontein ka naksha mil jae..." Zaan said.

We agreed and decided to meet at his place at 5pm. He gave us the address

We went home. It was 3pm. I had a shower. I got out of the bathroom. I was about to leave when I saw the diary. I was staring at it when Aarti called me.

"Diksha?? Laptop le chale kya?" She asked.

"Haan le chalte he... kya pata zaroorat pad jaye"

I went to her and asked her if she wanted to eat something. She agreed and we made some chawal. We ate and left at 4:30.

As expected we took half an hour to reach Zaan's house.

We were infront of a big villa.

"Yaar ghar toh yahi hona chahiye tha, kaha gaya?" Aarti asked.

"Arey pagal! Ghar tere saamne he!" I showed her the villa.

She widened her eyes and mouth...

"Woh dekh..." I showed her the plate where was written 'Khanna's Villa'.

"Oh My God!!! Itna bada aur shandaar ghar!!" She almost screamed.

"Dheere bol idiot!" I said.

We entered the villa, actually it was very big and beautiful.

We asked a maid where was Zaan. She showed us his room and went. We knocked. After sometime Zaan opened the door.
Zaan's POV:

I opened the door. Diksha and Aarti were there.

"Arey tum dono aa gayi?" I said.
They entered.

"Toh, sabse pehle hum yeh pata lagate he ke yeh Sterkfontein he kya... ham laptop lekar aye he uspe dekhte he" Aarti said.

She switched on the laptop and opened google. She wrote Sterkfontein and many things cane out.

"Toh yeh ek cave he... kafi famous he" I said

"Haan... aur dekho yaha likha hua he ke is cave me sabse behtareen fossils paye jate he... khas kar dinosaurs ke" Diksha said.

"Ab pata chala ke Boss ne hame yaha jane ko kyu kaha" Aarti said.

"Ab google maps par jaake dekho ke yeh kaha he Africa me" Diksha said...

"Haan abhi dekhti hu..." Aarti said.
