"We will try wait ", Richard said

"Clara you look into it once, whether tickets are available or not right now ", Mathew said

Clara immediately searched for the flight ticket on her mobile with out late and luckily only one ticket is available at present and informed the same to Mathew . .

"Ok, do it immediately ", Mathew said

Clara immediately booked the ticket with out taking much time by gathering his information to fill out in the fields asked by the Application and she said it was done

"O thank you so much Miss. Clara ", Richard said

"Your are welcome sir ", Clara said

"Now peacefully take care of your cancellation sir ", Mathew said

"Ok ", Richard said and immediately went to the information center to cancel his flight ticket, but unfortunately they informed that there is no chance of cancellation as the flight had already started. Flight ticket can be cancelled only before the flight departure . . 

Mr. Richard returned back with dull face and said there is no chance of cancellation as the flight had already departure.

"It's ok, take it easy sir. We got the confirmation of our present journey, it's our luck ", Mathew said

"Yes, you are right. We have to be thankful for the present journey and the most important one ", Richard said

Everyone started discussing silently about the journey and Mathew introducing each one of them individually to Mr. Richard and keep talking each other until the flight announcement.

After a few minutes later, an announcement came that the flight they are going to travel is going to arrive in a short time and the Air Hostess asking them to get ready with the tickets and the boarding passes. . .

Everyone moved towards the flight as it arrived in a very short time and formed a queue to go inside the flight and the Air Hostess started checking the boarding passes of everyone and made them move towards the Flight . . 

All the passengers went inside the flight and sat on their respective seats allotted for them.

"Mr. Mathew, what is the travel time ?", Richard asked

"Now we are going to Jodhpur and from there we have to book Taxi or we have to go by Bus. The travel time from here to Jodhpur is nearly one and half hour ", Mathew said

"O, it's just simple. From Jodhpur to Jaisalmer time ?", Richard asked

"It will take nearly 5 hours sir ", Mathew said

"O, it will take much time ", Richard said

"Yes sir ", Mathew said

In the mean while Air Hostess came to them and asked Mr. Richard to have his seat as he was talking to Mathew by standing near the seat where he was seated because the flight was going to departure in a very short time . . 

All the passengers in the Flight got stick to the seats and tightened the seat belts and waiting for the flight to departure. After a while the flight take off and later it landed on the Jodhpur Airport after one hour and 25 minutes . .

All the five reached outside the Air port and trying to book taxi to go to Jaisalmer, but it was becoming little tougher as the distance was too far and it's 300 kms from there. 

"We will go by bus ", Mathew said and stopped a taxi asked for the pick up towards the Bus station

All the five get into the Taxi and moved towards the Bus station, asked for the bus timings in the help desk and waited at the respective place where the bus will stop. Don't know why, but complete silence was surrounded by them and every one was thinking for some thing and was very dull . .

"Why what happened, every one was so dull and silent ", Richard asked them while noticing the fear in their faces . .

"No sir, nothing like that but thinking about the circumstances that what we are going to face ", Benjamin said by a quick response

"Clara, in the mean while you search for the hotel rooms and if available book them immediately ", Mathew said to Clara while he was opened his bag and he kept his hand inside the bag for some thing

He took out the first jewelry box, picked out a locket from that and gave it to Mr. Richard as he was also in danger, asked him to wear it . .

"What is this for ?", Richard asked

"This locket is for our safety. If you wear it, no danger will come in your way and nothing will harm you ", Mathew said

"What this locket will save our life's ?, to be frank I don't believe these all ", Richard said

"Ok, then try to live for 10 more minutes with out this locket. You will be realized what dangers are around you ", Mathew said

"Sir do be silly, please wear it. Even we can't save you if something happens to you, we already faced a lot of problems with out this locket ", Mack said

"But I have not heard this about any where before ?", Richard said

"No one knows about this locket, that's why one who tried about this treasure was not alive right now ", Mathew said

"O really ", Richard said

At the same time, suddenly the ceiling under the bus stand was fallen where Mr. Richard was standing and Matthew accidentally saw the ceiling was falling on him, he immediately responded and pulled Mr. Richard aside and it fell there making a very loud noise where he had been standing until then, so that every one present at the bus station arrived there and discussed about the scene that how did it fell, whether there were no air currents or thunderous sounds or something else. All of this happened within seconds before Mr. Richard came out of the shock.

"Do you believe it at least now sir that our life's are in danger if we don't wear this locket in our neck's ", Mathew asked

Mr. Richard immediately worn the locket in his neck with out delay and felt very comforting after it was in his neck and he collapsed all of sudden in the chair there by holding his heart with his right hand.

"Sir, sir what happened, are you okay ?", Mathew, Mack and Benjamin asking him simultaneously by looking at his position

All the remaining were feared at once that whether some thing happened to him. Then Mathew immediately ran towards a shop, bought a water bottle and asked him to drink the water. After some time he became normal and said, 

"It's ok, I am alright ", Richard said

All of them sat there with out talking each other silently as every one was scared by seeing the scene happened a minute ago . . 

"Sir, can I ask you some thing ?", Mathew asked to Mr. Richard

"Yes please ", Richard said

"Are you sure, you want to come with us to such a risky place with this condition ?", Mathew asked

"No I am perfectly alright, but all of a sudden my daughter came into my thoughts that what happens to her if any thing happened to me in this journey ", Richard said

By hearing the words Clara became very dull with tears falling from eyes towards her cheeks as she remembered her father so much and moved aside from there. Mr. Richard noticed the change in Clara and asked Mathew that what happened to her while I am speaking about my daughter . .

"Her father loose his life in the search of this treasure hunt, so she became dull like that ", Mathew said

"O, so sorry about that. Then what about the locket, he did not wear it ?", Richard raised his question

"No, It was through him that we came to know about these lockets but the sad thing is that all these lockets were placed in the box that had just been taken outside from my bag, but he could not find the key to that box and so he was died while he was in search of the key ", Mathew explained him in detail

"Oo so sad, but why she was in search of this treasure hunt being a girl knowing how dangerous it was ", Mr. Richard asked

"Unfortunately she involved in it even with out knowing to us ", Mathew said

"May be she was also became sinful ", Mr. Richard said

"Yes I think so ", Mathew said

In the mean while the bus arrived there which was going to take them all to the Jaisalmer City. Every one get into the bus and had their seats. Mathew get into it at last and the remaining all were left the place blanket beside Clara as they wanted Mathew to sit beside her. While he was coming inside he was trying to cross the seat where Clara was sitting, she suddenly hold his hand with her right hand and asked him to sit beside her . .

Mathew sat beside her thinking that she was in sadness by remembering about her father. After a while he talked to her by comforting that don't worry every thing will be going to settle . .

"What happened about the hotel rooms I asked to you in the bus stand ?", Mathew asked

"I saw it and some rooms are available too at the Star Hotel, but I did not booked ", Clara said

"Why, I asked you to book right ?", Mathew said

"Yes, but I am trying to book all the sudden incidents occurred and so I stopped it ", Clara said

"Ok, no problem try to book it now ", Mathew said

She opened her mobile and started searching again for the best hotel and booked the hotel rooms and informed to Mathew . . Some of them traveling in the bus were watching the view around them, while others fell asleep. Mathew thinking seriously about their journey while Clara fell asleep on his shoulder by  catching his hand . . 

After a long journey after 7 hours they finally reached Jaisalmer City and they all were became restless completely and was so tired. They immediately booked a taxi from the bus stand to the hotel, checked in and got freshen up.

A few minutes later all gathered in a room where Mathew was staying and started discussing about their journey that what to do now, where to go and how to start their findings . . 

Every one giving their ideas one by one what each of them were thinking and Mathew was noting out those ideas on a book which was carried by him and noted the details since he started his journey from beginning onwards . . .
