CHAPTER 8 WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE
"I investigated the key deeply and look what I found", Subhi said excitedly and she broke the key into two pieces. "You broke it", Dhrishtradyumna shouted. "Stupid look here", Subhi pointed at the thin paper piece that was housed in the key. "What is that?", Govind asked. "Well lets see what it is", Subhi said as she took the paper out and unrolled it to see what was inside it. "It's is the map to the Chamber of the Dragon vase", Panchi shouted out of excitement. "Now we know how to get to the vase", Govind said with a relaxed voice.

"Aww... How romantic of you Vasusen", Vrushali cried. "Thank you dear. You know I worked all day long to get this romantic set up for our date tonight", Vasusen said innocently. "What a great liar", Paarth and Bheem, who were secretly listening to their conversation, said together. "Did you like the food?", Vasusen asked. "Yes! It is just perfect for a romantic date", Vrushali said. "I cooked it myself", Vasusen lied again. "Oh god... bhai please speak a word true. I cooked it not you", Bheem thought. "And what about the decoration around", Vasusen asked. "I did it", Paarth shouted before Vrushali could reply. Astonished that he was, Vasusen asked, " Both of you here!". "We'll yes brother and we have been watching all the lies you have been speaking so far", Bheem laughed and by mistake opened the secret. "Bheem what did you just say!", Vrushali said. "Ammm... yes bhabhi... actually... hmm... Paarth run for your life", Bheem shouted and ran away. "Meet you later nice people", Paarth said and ran away as well. "Oh... I see you had been working all day long... Haan", Vrushali said. "Well...not exactly the whole day...", Vasusen said hesitatingly. "So for how long?", Vrushali said with a face red with anger. "Well I came here half an hour ago so...", Vasusen closed his ears with his fingers as he said this. "Vasusen...", Vrushali yelled.

"And that is why I am here", Bheem told everything it Hidimba. "Hey! that was not your mistake. Vasusen bhai should have done it all himself. It is really wrong not to give time to your love and even wrong is the act of lying to her", Hidimba said in a treacherous manner. "Now again. It has started the love seekh", Bheem thought. "Bheem don't you agree?", Hidimba asked. "I completely do dear", Bheem replied. "I knew it you would never ever do like that. Afterall my sweet teddy bear always has some special time for me", Hidimba said pulling Bheem's cheeks. "By the way did you take the look at books today", Bheem said. "No! I did not have much time", Hidimba said. "I had a hair styling appointment, then shopping, a bit of dining with by brother and then finally home", Hidimba told Bheem. "Oh! You must be really tired. Isn't it?", Bheem asked with a sad face. "Yes I am it was a really long day dear", Hidimba said. "Well shall I cook something for you?", Bheem asked. "Yes! Why not! Please! I am dying of hunger!", Hidimba said with a puppy face.

"Ok. So we'll be leaving tomorrow for the Chamber of the Dragon Vase", Govind informed. "And Govind wthis we includes?", Subhi asked. "Dhrishtradyumna and me", Govind told. "Well what about me and Subhi?", Panchi asked. "We need someone here too", Dhrishtradymna reminded. "Well I agree", Subhi said. "Okay so now who is interested in eating pasta?" , Panchi asked. "Oh, I am", Dhrishtradyumna shouted. "I am not that stupid to miss paata made by Panchi", Subhi said. "But Panchi we can order something from hotel also. Right?", Govind quothed in disagreement. "Why don't you like paasta made by me Govind?", Panchi asked. "No. But...", Govind started but didn't complete.
"So it is final I'll cook paasta today. get ready to lick you finger people", Panchi announced.

"So that is the problem", Paarth said. "Well if you cannot find that matter for the assignment in books search on the net. Just use some brain. God have not given it just for show", Panchi laughed. "Panchi you just know to make fun of me", Paarth said. "Well it is not me. You are the one who force me to", Panchi did it again. "You know what I don't just want to talk to you. Ammm... God why did prof. Drona grouped me with you. You, you just go away, you , you die. I just don't care", Paarth said so and hanged the phone. "Stupid. I mean what is I say. I just teased him a bit nothing else. He just over-reacts way too much", Panchi said while she was lighting the stove. "God! Have everything and everyone gone useless together? This lighter why isn't it working?", Panchi yelled. "I should better use this", Panchi said as she threw the lighter away and picked up the matchbox. And just as the matchstick caught fire there was a big blast.

"Blast! Blast! Bhai!", Subhi came running in Govind's room. "What happened Subhi?", Govind and Dhrishtradyumna stood up and asked together. "Bahi! There was a big blast in the kitchen and it is burning away like paper", Subhi said with a feel of terror in her eyes. "What!", Dhrishtradyumna said. "How?" , Govind asked. "And...", Subhi continued. "And what Subhi?", Dhrishtradyumna asked with his nerves trembling with fear. "Panchi was in there when the blast took place", Subhi said with tears flowing down her eyes.
