(So far, Manoj has reached Jammu on Soojan's call where he tells about the golden leaf which Soojan had taken out from the tunnel of the old fort. Now further :::)
"Due to the fear of terrorists, the army was keeping a strict watch here. Where the army came to know about a terrorist who is hiding in the old fort of this village. For this reason, an army unit was sent here.
" Who had come to our house as a guest. Whose mission was to kill the terrorists of the fort. Meanwhile, the terrorists get a hint about this, due to which the terrorists kidnap Sujan's mother when she has gone to the market. Sujan has gone to the city for work at that time. When he returns home after 3 days, his mother is not at home.
"When the army personnel staying there are asked, they say that she has not come home for 3 days and she has gone to the village.
" Because of this, Sujan gets worried. He sets out to find his mother. On going to the market, a man gives him a letter and goes away. It is written in that letter that if you want to save your mother, then lie to the army people and come to the fort. (Although this is a trick of those terrorists so that they can escape from the soldiers by taking an innocent person captive)
"Sujan comes home because of his mother. Sujan tells a lie to the officer that he is going to his village. Sujan goes straight to the fort. Where the terrorists take Sujan captive. And they bring her to his mother, who is found lying unconscious. "Sujan sees that the terrorists are looking for someone there because the leader of the terrorists was telling his people something about the tunnel. Why is it taking so much time?
" Where the terrorists come to know that the 2 people they had sent into the tunnel have been killed. The leader of the terrorists gets very worried. Now whom should they send because there were very few terrorists who were going to appear against the army, that's why they decide to send Sujan inside the well.
"The tunnel is built inside a dried up well inside the fort. The terrorists make Sujan go down in the well and the Sardar asks him to go and get the map from the tunnel.
" At first Sujan refuses a lot but thinking that the terrorists will kill his mother, Sujan goes inside the tunnel. After walking some distance there Sujan finds the bodies of those two terrorists. Strange things are seen coming out of their mouths. Sujan understands that they have been bitten by a snake. Sujan starts moving forward and after some time the sound of bullets and bombs comes from above the tunnel. Sujan understands that the army has attacked and now his mother is safe.
Therefore the swelling starts turning backwards instead of moving forward. "Then he sees a strange light. Because of that light, Sujan again starts going inside the tunnel. After walking some distance, Sujan sees two shining golden leaves. Which looked like gold but they were shining. Sujan picks up those leaves and keeps them with him. There are many dead bodies lying in that tunnel which were old and rotten, some dead bodies were new as well, some were days old, along with that there were many human skeletons and bones lying there. Which looked to be many years old. It seemed as if there was a war. As far as the eyes could see in the tunnel ahead, only skeletons were visible. Along with that, there was a lot of foul smell there, due to which Sujan got very scared. Then Sujan sees a snake at some distance from the tunnel which is very big, almost as big as Sujan and that snake starts moving fast towards Sujan. Sujan gets scared seeing this and in a hurry, he takes out the torch which he had brought with him. She falls down. Sujit starts running towards the well in the dark. The snake was chasing Sujit very fast. However, Sujit goes far away from the snake.
"After walking for some time, Sujan reaches the mouth of the tunnel and after entering the well, he calls out from below.
"However, when he does not hear anyone's voice, Sujan starts climbing up from the well. After coming up, Sujan finds out that there is no one there. And his mother is also not there. From this, Sujan understands that his mother is safe and the army must have taken her away. That is why Sujan comes out of the fort and wants to see those shiny leaves in the light so that he can know what they are. That is why as soon as Sujan takes out a leaf, that leaf gets hot and starts burning. Despite Sujan's many efforts, the leaf burns and disappears.
" From this, Su understands that the leaf cannot bear even a little heat, so Sujan hides the other leaf properly and goes towards the house.
""After reaching home, Suraj searches for his mother but he does not find her. That is why he decides to meet an army officer and ask about his mother.
"Sujan did not want to give the leaf to anyone because he had got it and he was also very curious to know about it. So he hides the leaf at home. And goes to the army camp which was nearby.
"In this connection, Sujan meets Major Ravi Kumar of the army camp. Who was involved in that mission. After talking to the Major, Sujan comes to know that Sujan's mother gets shot in the firing between the terrorists and the army, due to which she is killed. However, their mission fails. The leader of the terrorists, who has killed many people and is the mastermind of the attack on the Battada army camp, and some of his companions escape in the meantime.
"On hearing the words of the Major, Sujan breaks down and tears come out of his eyes. Sujan has no one except his mother. That is why he becomes very angry and blames the army and those terrorists for the incident.
That is why Sujan does not say anything to the army about the leaf and the well and goes away.
"After a few days, the news tells about Manoj. Manoj is a famous archeologist who has made many new discoveries. Because of this, Sujan thinks that Manoj will secretly call Manoj to his house and get information about this. Also, the leader of the terrorists was telling him about a map. Which could be of a big treasure. In this greed, Sujan calls Manoj.
(After listening to all the things Sujan says, he gets a little scared because this matter could also be of the government treasury. Also, the terrorists were keeping an eye on them who were looking for Sujan. But Manoj was also very curious because finding new things was Manoj's profession. Because of this, Manoj decides to find out more about this with Sujan.)
" So that he can know which tree this leaf belongs to. And what is in that tunnel?
