Sirsi stood there gasping for her breath.. the lift isn't working Rudra she said.
Really?? That's exactly what we are worried about said Rudra crossing his arms. She noticed Petros standing far.. even you are here??
Yes apparently you were not to be seen!! Where the hell did you go?? Petros asked so furiously.
Sirsi came in and hugged him.. saying sorry.
I know you are worried but what I have here will make you jump out of that window she said with such a happiness.
You went searching for that library? I told there isn't any....
Even before Rudran could complete the sentence, she opened her bag and revealed a lingam similar to the one they found in Srilanka.
Rudran was speechless looking at the lingam, beaming in yellow colour as the sunshine strikes on it.
Petros took the lingam from Sirsi, it was warm just like our body temperature.
Rudran was less amused about the lingam, he looked mesmerized at Sirsi.
She is really the one who is destined to find it like her father said.
Here Rudran feel the lingam, it's just warm like our body temperature it's so amazing.. Rudran's both the hand held the lingam like a baby in a cradle.
He wasn't sure what to do or say.
We need to keep it safe, Sirsi said.
Yes, no worries I have got that part.
But tell me this Sirsi did you find this in the library?
Yes.. I did.
It was dark and cold there, the library is in a very bad shape. Most of the books are damaged and I wasn't sure if this was the one and while I was about to leave the place I saw the swastik sign on last corner of the room and I fainted.
Fainted?? Asked Rudran raising his eyebrows.
She is scared of darkness and blacks out at that time said Petros
I got up early morning when the sun light peaked through the damaged windows.
I walked towards the corner of the room and saw the swastik sign, it was also the same stone that I spot earlier.
I pulled it open expecting water to come out but there was cockroaches and centipedes all around the stones.
I used a wood and just pushed them away and saw inside the hole.
This little lingam was just sitting there.. just like that! Can you believe it?
She asked with such a ln excitement but both did not utter a single word and was still stunned looking at the lingam placed on the dining table. The sunlight was focussed on the glass dining table, and the lingam was beaming in glory.

Rudran can I ask you a favour?? He was still unmoved.. she shook him harder this time and asked again.
Yes anything Sirsi...

Can you ask your pappa to reconstruct the library? I think we should protect such places.
He nodded with a smile.

Also, this lingam has also got some signs underneath better click the picture of the same said Sirsi.
Petros went over and did as she said.

He looked at the signs and said it's binary codes Sirsi..
Let me see it she looked at it from the photo .. it's clear in the photo she said.
Yes I edited it a little bit to enhance the text.
Atleast decipher this one.. she mocked at Petros and left with him.

Rudran couldn't believe what he was seeing.. so many men searched the library for years.. how did she???

Nalan was sitting outside looking at the birds chirping around. His friend brought him a cup of tea and handed over.
Can you try meeting her again? Nalan asked his friend.
No bro! Those guards are always with her and besides they don't look like being in captive. Last time I tried meeting her mid night, she was actually roaming with Rudresh..
Nalan wasn't sure what to say. It's complicated dude..

I need to get her out of the mess, enough with the treasure series Nalan thought.

You and your friend can stay here as long as you wish and am pretty sure my roommate doesn't really bother as he is happy that we have few people to share the rent with.
Thanks bro! You have been really helpful.
I would do anything bro.. but I need to know what am helping for? Anyway you don't want to answer that question. I will leave it to you.
Bobby was busy with his laptop, trying to get access to Rudran's computer.
He placed the bug in his apartment and in his laptop before he left.
Drink tea bro then work! Bob would have got irritated at this statement.. every one offering tea .. even at midnight. But, he was one among them now. He prefers it strong and less sugary.
Damayanti helps them from outside, supplying the necessaries and even giving them bundles of cash disguised in the pastry box.
