Welcome to this adventurous journey. This world is very big, and also, its secrets, which are kept preserved in a deep, yet beautiful corner of the nature. Some known and other hidden, from the entire mankind, which is still, yet to discover. Then, don't you think? That in this enormously gifted world, there exists a creation, whose abilities are beyond that of humans... who can have a very special feature... "Magic"!

What if I say, that I am going to say story of a girl, who had such an experience!

Once upon a time, there lived a princess... very beautiful, wise and good at every field. This is what everyone feels an ideal character of a story will be. Right? But what if I say, it is not.....

Sometimes, it's not necessary to be an extraordinary person to do some extraordinary stuff.

It was the time of corona (Year 2020). Everywhere there was a situation of panic and chaos. The global economic condition suffered heavily after, "The Great Year of Depression --- 1929". And we were trapped inside our houses. For everyone, it was a worst year. But not everyone's perception was the same. There were few exceptional people, for whom, this year was about to bring a major change in their lives. They were about to encounter an adventurous journey, a mysterious journey.

Niamat decided to go to her friend's house. i.e., Robert's and Tom's house, as they live together. But due to corona, she wasn't able to even get out of her house. She thought hard to find a way to reach Robert's and Tom's house, but she couldn't find any way.

Niamat - "It would have been so good, if Doraemon really existed! I could have just asked him to give the anywhere door, and I would have reached Tom's and Robert's house. I wish something like it or anywhere door itself would have existed She kept thinking, and then she remembered that, when Niamat, Robert and Tom were kids; they had made a secret pass through

the garden of her hostel, to their house, as Robert and Tom were the only neighbors, existing in that area.

Niamat - "Who knew that our childhood creativity could help me now? It's good that still no one knows about it. If not we wouldn't have been able to meet them!"

But first, you might be thinking, who is Niamat, Robert and Tom?

Well! Niamat is simply a pleasant girl of 21 years old, who had grown up in a hostel right from her childhood. So, she knows nothing about her parents. She always respects elders and try to be punctual at her work and she is a queen of mistakes. She always try to be sweet with everyone. So, no one bullies her. But, they tease her for being dumb, clumsy and introvert. But, everyone on earth should have friends, isn't it? God is very kind. Hence, even in the fate of Niamat, there were friends. Though they were just 2, but they were wonderful friends. They were- Robert and Tom, who used to always help her, support her and most importantly, understand her. Robert's mom died, during his birth, so he was taken care by his dad. But, when he was 7 years old, his father died out of cancer. Then onwards, he used to live with his dad's colleague, who was a scientist. Tom was his son. Tom's dad was a very good friend of Robert's dad. So, he couldn't stop himself from getting Robert with him. A year later, they got shifted next to Niamat's hostel, as he had a research to do. Tom's mother also used to look after Robert, like her own son. But they never adopted him, because Robert denied to be adopted. Actually he was very close to his dad and so, he refused to give his place to anyone else. Even Tom's parents agreed his decision, as they were able to understand his situation. In fact, Robert decided to use his dad's savings To continue his studies, as he was guilty that he was living in their house, without contributing any thing, being a burden. Tom's parents understood the feelings of Robert and they agreed to this too. But Tom was very happy, that his best friend would now onwards stay with him. But the psychological pain that Robert had been through for losing his dad, at a tender age of 7, have made him really tough and introvert. Tom was sometimes jealous of him. After all, even he was a kid, and it's natural for a kid to react like this, if he sees someone getting love from its parents, equivalent to him. But, he was always happy and extrovert person. His friendship with Robert and trust on his parents used to surpass his jealousy. Then that day came.... when due to an accident Tom's dad died. Ambulance and police force, everyone came, but couldn't save him. The accident was huge. The chemical reactions and radio waves, were too strong and possessed the strength to kill anyone, who would have been present there, at that moment. Tom's mom couldn't handle this ambush, and she was diagnosed with PTSD and depression and had tried to kill herself numerous times. As a result of this, his mom was admitted to an asylum, where still, her treatment is going on. Tom visits her every week, and so does Robert. But, when these misfortunes were taking place, Tom and Robert were just 14 years old. So, Tom was able to handle himself. But, Robert thought, that it's due to his luck that, first his dad died and now, the one who was taking care of him, died. So, he decided to become a scientist and complete the research, which was carried out by Tom's dad, which was now stopped due to his death. He thought, this would be a tribute to him for being so kind to him and for taking care of him! Whereas, Tom wasn't able to see the miserable condition of his mom and decided to become an archaeologist, as his mom wished him to be so. On the other hand, Niamat was able to see the sorrows of her friends, but couldn't help them. She thought, that, just like her friends, there might be so many people, so many kids going through this trauma and then they either get into depression or suicide. So, she decided to become a psychologist, to help everyone, live a better life. It seemed like their fate has begun taking them to where they should go. The decisions that they took, was inclined with their personal reasons, i.e., Tom chose to be an archeologist, as he wasn't able to see his mom's condition and wanted to make her happy and laugh again. Robert chose to be a scientist, to complete the incomplete work of Tom's father and pay him back for his kindness on him and Niamat chose to become a psychologist to make this world a better place to live. And now, they are actually doing what they decided to do at that moment.

Niamat was about to go to Florida for her further studies, and had a flight after one day from India. That's why she wanted to meet Robert and Tom so desperately. She wanted to say them goodbye. Thus, she moved to go through that pass way.

Niamat - "Oh my god! This pass way is so narrow! It's good that we designed it in such a way that we could stand and go through it. Ah! It was so good to run through it. It used to be so much fun. But now I have to crawl and pass this pass way. My knees are gonna break today. It's ok, I would pass this as soon as possible".

Niamat went through it and when she arrived there, she found her friends fighting, seeing this she got worried.

Niamat - "What are you all doing?"

Robert and Tom were shocked to see Niamat there. Both of them asked together.

Robert and Tom - "Niamat! How did you come here? Aren't we supposed to be in our houses?"

Niamat - "I came through that pass."

Robert - "Pass! Which pass?"

Niamat "How can you both forget? The pass which we had made in our childhood. That goes from garden of my hostel to your house."

Tom - "Oh yeah! I remember, you used to come in night with that ghost dress and then, we three together used to go and take all the ice-creams. Also, you remember that security guard. Ha! Ha! The way you used to scare him, and then he used to scold us, but Robert used to handle every..."

Niamat - "What happen? Why did you stop?"

Tom - "Robert was so good then. But now he has change, and I am not talking with him now!"

Robert - "Stop behaving like a kid Tom! You are 21 years old, not 5 years old, that you behave like this."

Niamat - "Everyone keep quiet." (Aloud). "Now say what has happen."

Tom- "I will say! Robert had found a book in an old and dirty box..."

Robert - "Hey! That old and dirty box belong to my great grandfather

Tom- "Let me complete my sentence first! Stop being so… so. Niamat! What is that word?"

Niamat - "Word? Which word?"

Tom - "Arre! That word "

Niamat "That's what! Which word are you speaking about? I can't get into your head to know what you are thinking, right."

Tom-"A A Anxious! Yeah! Anxious is that word! Leave, I only got the word. Yeah!Stop being so anxious Robert. I was about to say that it belonged to your great grandfather, and so only, I want it!"

Robert - "What?"

Niamat - "Will anyone say me, what is going on over here? What thing you want Tom! And in between all these, what is the role of your great grandfather's box Robert!

Robert and Tom - "THE BOOK" (Together)

Niamat - "Book!"

Robert – "Yeah! The book! I found a book inside that box. But Tom wants it to see."

Niamat - "Ok. Then see it together."

Robert - "We don't want to see it. We want to…

Tom - "…I will say! You don't even know to narrate an incident Robert! "

Robert – "Said? Now keep quiet!"

Tom – "A…"

Robert – "…Nothing. Just shut your mouth and stand where you are standing."

Tom – "Why should I do what you say? I will not stand, I will sit."

Robert – "Argh! Do whatever you want to do. But be quiet. Ok… where was I?"

Tom- "See you don't even remember what you were saying few seconds before. How can you even narrate this...?"

Robert stares at Tom in anger and Tom keeps quiet.

Tom-"No one treats me good! (Aside)"

Robert - "Actually, I wanted to see what's written in it. But, then Tom started to say, that he wants it too."

Tom - "I wanted it because... (Looks at Robert and says), I would just clarify my part, then you keep explaining whatever you want to explain. So till then neither will you scold me, nor will you stare me, like how you are doing now. Ok? You guys know right! That I want to be an archaeologist, and just look at that box, it looks so old."

Robert – "Obviously it is old, after all, it is my great grandfather's box. "

Robert - "Obviously, it is old, after all, it is my great grandfather's box."

Tom - "You... why do you always stop me from completing my sentence? You spoil my entire mood... ignore him Niamat and listen to me...!"

Niamat - "Why did I even thought of coming here now?" (Aside)

Tom-"Ok… so, since it was so old, so don't you think, there can be a lot, to do a research on it. Sorry for my sentence. Actually, I am too excited. You know right! How desperately I have been waiting for an adventurous journey or for an excavation. What if it is the box, which has a secret letter saying about any lost treasure?"

Robert "Tom! I think, you forgot that my great grandfather was not a king! He was a great scientist. Why would any scientist hide treasure? He left that box for me, as per the letter… he might have written some valuable experiments and innovations. "

Tom – "Oh! Come on Robert. Does scientists don't need money? Moreover, who knows, if he would be working for a king. Just look at the way this box is made. It's carvings. In olden days only kings and noblemen used to have it. And what innovation and experiment? Say me one of your experiment and innovation that was successful… so what will you do with those secret? whatever it is…"

Robert - "Which of your research was successful Tom? (In a sarcastic way) so what will you do with that book? So, just get away from my way."

Robert and Tom tries to stop each other from taking that book.

Niamat - "These guys will never change. The way they are trying to stop each other, they might bring earthquake over here or else my hostel principal might think, that there is a ghost over here.... (Aside) By the way... even I want to know, what's there in that book!"..

Niamat looks at Robert and Tom. They were still busy stopping each other from reaching that book. So busy that they weren't even noticing Niamat taking that book. Taking the advantage of the situation, she takes the book.

Niamat - "Ah! The book for which, these idiots fought is actually empty (Aside). Robert… Tom stop fighting... This book is empty."

Tom- "It's fine if the book is empty. Empty?"

Both of them stopped fighting and saw Towards Niamat.

Niamat – "See! This book is empty. But… only author's introduction is there, just like any other author. The name of the author is 'Aurthor Banapoca'."

Tom – "We fought so much… and this book is empty? "

Robert – "Why would my great grandfather leave a blank book for me?"

Tom – "Might be… he felt that you can write something in this book. It might be his favorite book, so…"

Robert – "But, who keeps a book in such a safety. Hm… you might be right Tom!"

Niamat – "Robert, Tom… there is one more page, which is a map drawn there. Tom… you are an archaeologist right? Then, you can understand, which country's or which place's map is this… isn't it?

Tom – "See! I said know, it is the matter of treasure, not any research. Wait the great Tom will read this map now."

Tom sees the map carefully. Then he holds the map in different angles, trying to figure up which map is this

Tom – "Ah! Guys, I don't think that I know The place of which this map is about. Might be, it's a very remote area.?"

Saying so, he turns the book upside down and while doing so… the book falls from his hand and the center page gets open. Robert takes up that bool saying…

Robert – "What is the work of this tiny book here?"

Tom and Niamat comes to see the book.

Tom – "Why is it kept with so much of security?"

Robert "It is just a strip of thin cloth so that, it don't fall, if in case any dumb guy like you throws it."

Tom- "Ah! You are so mean and I didn't threw it... it just fell all by itself, and the description that you gave for this strip, is called security only. Moreover, there is nothing wrong in being dumb."

Robert "You..."

Niamat – "If you guys are done with your fighting, shall we see this book?"

That book had silver and golden coated borders with a blue with black color crown which was very shiny in the middle, while the background was of pink color. It also had a book mark. It was really just as the book in which it was kept.
