Lost Treasure

Hold Back

The phone was continuously buzzing, Sirsi had gone numb. She did not even realize that, she had plans to meet her friend after class in Starbucks. After a deep breath, she sat down with a cup of coffee, much needed! She decided to read the letter again,

Sirsi,

We need your help, meet us in Delhi, India. We have found the ê.

It was just few words, but this will bring down everything Sirsi had built all these years.

Meanwhile in Delhi Research Institute, Petros was typing on his expensive Mac book, this was a breakthrough in his lifetime. He was very cautious while he brushed through the hidden notes below the file. He scanned the map and few old papers. Petros has to ensure there is another backup copy, just in case.

He mailed all these information to his friend Nalan. It was the day he has been waiting all his life. However, he needs to get back to his work, he was a junior scientist, working in Altar Radiocarbon Laboratory in Delhi. After the trio moved from Srilanka, they settled in Kerala. Petros excelled in science and he followed his destiny, he lived working in this field. He has always been the one to decipher codes and build theories at such a young age.

People might choose their profession by passion, he chose this only to fulfill the long lasting belief. He is ought to set things right.

Petros was looking closely at the stone on microscope, he was sure this was atleast 2,000 years old, it was from a recent archeological site in Perur Tamil Nadu. He had to write a detailed report after carbon testing the other few things that was excavated. His excitement and anticipation was high, but only this time it was for a different reason.

Nalan, was very busy in office. He was freshly appointed as the Manager in a reputed bank. He was keen about his career growth and marry his high school sweetheart in few months. The crowd in the bank was high during days before the weekend, he needs to sign off and close many accounts. But, the mail from Petros disturbed his mind. He overviewed the mail, he was absolutely pissed off! He wasn't sure if he has to block Petros, but he knew sooner or later he would do that. After a quick cup of tea, he went ahead with his daily reports in his cabin.
