CHAPTER 5(a) : a message from anon !
i kept the letter down the vase in my tent . in the evening itself the caravan leader announced that we were to stop by an oasis , as the caravan leader and most of it's member were merchant , they needed to sell their goods to people along their journey .
i took the letter to parth , to my disappointment , he could not decipher the message in the letter .
i don't know how to read it but where did you get this from ?
i didn't .. kautuki got it from yoyo who took it from vardhaan sir's tent ..
vardhaan sir ... hmmm ... has he ever been here before ?
i shook my head to say a no ! i don't think so ..
parth did not seemed much interested in this letter .. though my intuition said it had got something to do with the war ,and was important . now if parth can't there was only one person left on whom i can rely ..
randhir ! i called him a few times .. he did not responded .. i know it's unethical to enter someone's room without knocking but here there was no door to knock on , so i entered his tent . he was sleeping like a child , his mouth half open and shirtless flaunting his highly toned body .. gawd !i felt the heat rising and this time it wasn't the sun ..
randhir !! i shook him lightly ... he grabbed my hand and i landed on him .. he hugged me tight and slept ...
to be honest i could be like this forever .. till eternity but i had something important to do first
randhir i ain't the pillow ... i said
he stood up at once and i fell on the ground ... oouch it hurts ...
what are you doing here ... he said .. grabbing a shirt ... trying to take advantage huh .
really randhir ... you think too high of yourself .. i folded my hands and smiled .
the next thing to do was very difficult for me .. like have you ever tried asking your enemy the biggest one for help ? i didn't even know how to put that up ..
i need a favour ... i said ..
like always ... shoot madame ..
can you decipher this ... i handed him the letter
now sanyukta don't you think you are too old to play these sort of highly absurd treasure seeking adventurous games ... he said ,,,
it isn't that ...
it's in code
what ?
the letter .. it's written in code ..
how do you know ?
RANK 1 knows everything ... he smiled ... where did you find this ..
i told him about how kaustuki got it from yoyo who got it from sir's tent ..
okay that explains it .. i don't think sir knows any ancient language or anything so it must be in code . but why would anyone do that .. vardhaan sir recently got it ,the papyrus seal is fresh .. since there are no post-offices here , it would be fare to assume that he got it from natives .
wow i mean i didn't notice that .. smart . maybe he reads too many Agatha Christie .. or Sherlock Holmes .. wait if he is Sherlock , i must be Watson .. LOOOL ..
stop smiling like an idiot ... he said
oh sorry .. i mentally slapped myself .
but before that .. u got to tell me everything ...
what ? tell uh about what .. i pretended to not know anything .. he rolled his eyes .. sorry parth i mumbled ... i told him everything i knew or rather had heard about the war .. he listened me carefully ..
that explains everything , i knew there was something fishy about stopping by an oasis to sell goods , they did not stopped by the oasis before .. now the war theory explains everything , they aren't stopping by, to sell goods , they are stopping because oasis are neutral regions . since most of the residents are women and children , any tribe won't attack an oasis . we are to take refuge until the war is over . though this means we would be safe this also meant we would be late . .. he said ..
brilliant analysis ... i thought .. but my big fat ego stopped me from saying it .
