CHAPTER 5: PYRAMID OF SORROWS
"Govind ... Subhi... Dhrishtradyumna... Come on all come fast. Look what I found on the net", Panchi shouted with excitement not remembering that it was 2.30 at night. "Who is shouting like donkeys at this time in night", Dhrishtradyumna said as he climbed down the stairs. "Oh god... Panchi now what did you find on the net at 2.30 in the morning", Subhi said, half-asleep. "... destiny has started it's games again", Govind thought as he came down the stairs. "Come fast everyone! Don't be lazy", Panchi shouted. "What is it!", Dhrishtradyumna said with a sudden harshness since he did not like being disturbed while sleeping. "Look I know that the quest is important but at 2.30 at night. Have to seriously gone completely, wholly, officially mad", Subhi said angrily. "Go on Panchi what did you find", Govind asked since he was well aware of the games destiny has planned for future. "Look here. According to a Chinese legend there exists a B"ishng de jnzt which in English means the Pyramid of Sorrows and if the legends are to be believed further then it surely houses the Gunjin lng hupng which is the Key to the Dragon Vase", Panchi said with a winning smile. "Great! Ok guys good night now we'll start searching for the Pyramid of Sorrows tomorrow. Sweet dreams everyone", saying so Dhrishtradyumna started to leave to his room. But, just then Panchi continued, "The Pyramid of Sorrows changes it's place every full moon night and today it is one. So by the time Sun rises it will change it's place", Panchi said seriously. "Where do you think it is now?", Subhi asked. "Well if I believe the Messenger Scroll it is just two kilometers away from us!", Panchi said over-excitedly. "So what are we doing here lets leave we have hardly anytime left in our hands", Govind said. "Wait Govind. this time you and me, only both of us will go", Panchi said. Dhrishtradyumna was going to speak in opposition to Panchi's decision but Govind said instantly, "We only both of us".

"Haaahh...", Paarth got up breathing heavily. "What happened Paarth? Why are you so worried. Nightmare I guess", Bheem said, taking a gaze at the time. But Paarth was lost in his own world of dreams, "Nightmare! Was it? or was it? Who was the girl I pinned to the wall? I wish the dream could continue a few more second I could atleast see her face". "Paarth I am talking to you", Bheem shouted. "Yes bahi! I am listening. But just a second you here at 2.30 in the morning" , Paarth asked. "Actually...", Bheem started the conversation.

"Here it is! The Pyramid of Sorrows. Ready Govind?", Panchi asked. "Panchi stop here. Lets go back. Lets not go into this risk of life!", Govind said with concern clearly covering his face. "Govind! You! You never ever took step back from adventure. I cannot believe this is you. How can you be all frightened!", Panchi said. "Panchi... This is my trial to stop the destiny from playing it's shrewd game", Govind thought. "Ok Panchi if you wish we shall enter this pyramid but if the pyramid changes its place while you are still in it. You know what can happen. Right?", Govind reminded his sister. "Yes Govind I know. I will reconcile with the sorrows of the previous life. That is why this pyramid is called the Pyramid of Sorrows because one has to face all the sorrows of his previous life here again", Panchi said with a bit of concern. "Lets go!", Govind commanded the start to the journey from where the wheel of fate would turn three-sixty degrees around.

"... so you got the plan", Bheem asked for reassurance. "Yes! Don't you worry bhai your plan will be executed well", Paarth said with a wink. "Good. Now sleep you have to work on a big task tomorrow", Bheem said.

"Dhrishtradyumna bhai do you think they will succeed in getting the key?", Subhi asked Dhrishtradyumna. "I guess htey will succeed after all Govind has gone and he never fails on any of this venture", Dhrishtadyumna remarked. "I agree! They will definitely come back with the key", Subhi said happily.
--
"Panchi move out! The pyramid is sinking! We have no time left", Govind shouted. "Not till I reach the key it is hardly an inch far from my hand now", Panchi replied. "We will be trapped in this pyramid for next two week! Panchi please don't act foolish step back", Govind shouted. "I got it!", shouting so she rushed back towards Govind. "Thank god you did now lets get out of this place before we sink into land with it", Govind said. "Aahh... Givind I am stuck. Take this key and run to the way out", Panchi shouted as she threw the key towards Govind. "But what about you!", Govind said as he caught the key. "Run Govind run before the Pyramid sinks we cannot take the risk of losing the key again", Panchi commanded Govind. "But", "Run", Panchi shouted. Govind ran towards the exit of the Pyramid and just before the doors was closed got out safely but Panchi was left trapped inside. "That was why I was frightened Panchi...", a tear ran down Govind's eyes as so.
