SECRETS OF KARADUNGA

(you know KARADUNGA, only the name 'KARADUNGA' is copied, content is mine)




It was a nice cool morning. Every bird on every branch was singing. Everyone was doing there work. Then a car came suddenly and stopped near a big house in the wide street of India. A man of about 25 years wore a t-shirt and jeans, and his hair touched his eyebrows, he looked very fashionable he steeped out of the car and rushed into the big house.

He knocked on the door. Then another man opened the door and said, “How are you Alex? Hey! Why did you come so early? There is lots of time still."

Alex said, "I am fine, and look at your watch properly it's already 9'O clock in the morning. And there is no time, we are already late. It will take a lot of time to reach there, at least 15 hours." He got angry and before his friend could say anything he shouted at him “Now get ready in ten minutes or I will leave without you. Now move don't just stand there George keep moving." George ran straight to take a bath, looking at Alex angrily.

Alex took out his phone and called to Johnson." Hey John wants to come with me and George to the adventure tour, today, now “said Alex. John Very sadly said," No I am sorry I cannot come with you to the tour I am Quiet busy with my business. Next time I will surely come with you to any Place you wish." Alex also became sad; he said "It's okay."

John said," How is your business going? Is everything ok?".”Yes everything is okay. From the time when I joined George's company everything is doing very well. He is very intelligent he tackles every problem without any problem! He is really cool I am very happy working with him," said Alex.

John said," I know that he is a mastermind, he is a real genius. I am glad to have such a friend like him and you; everything would be all Right when George is with us. But both of you don't look satisfied with your money. You two want to be the richest of the world, so what are you Going to do to earn extra money."

Alex said," That's why we are going to the adventure tour. It is not just an adventure tour it is a hunt for precious gems and diamonds. We are going to the World's most dangerous Jungle KARADUNGA. You must know that the jungle had most dangerous witches of the past used to live. But there is nothing to worry all the witches have died. There is a little Thing to worry about the jungle is that there are many animals which are still there which no man has seen till now. Who ever has entered the jungle? And have seen the animals of Karadunga didn’t return back, either they have lost their way or the monstrous animals killed them." Just then George came in running.” Okay John, then bye I will meet you after two months. George is also ready and we are going out now it." Alex disconnected his phone and turned to George and said, "Okay let's go."

George loaded Alex's car with everything he needed for the journey. And he also took some weapons for their safety.

14 hours passed. It was mid night when they reached the jungle. They drew the car in side the jungle. It was a dangerous scene inside the Jungle; the tall trees were like big dinosaurs. The wind was blowing hard; the sound of the wind was terrifying it almost made Alex to faint. Alex Controlled himself only the entrance of the jungle made the two brave Friends horrified. Even a thought of returning back was sweeping inside the mind of George, but he didn’t return back, he wanted to do the work for which he has come so far? The thought of the dangerous cold blooded animals would have been enough for a common man to die on his place, but the two Friends were going deep inside the jungle of Karadunga.

They found a small pond was nearby many trees of fruits grown. All The trees had their fruits to their branches. Alex said," Mmmm, it seems that no animal comes near by because all the fruits are hanging to the Branches and no fresh fruit are on the ground." "But it is quiet strange that why the animals don't come near the pond. At least they should come near the pond to drink water. And if they have come their footprints should be near the plant and the pond," said George.

“Yes you are correct," Alex agreed to George. “Okay what ever it is it looks like that no animals or monsters comes near this place so we can put our tent here. We will not have any problem, we will be safe here," said George to Alex.

They opened the tent and arranged it. Soon after eating the food, they slept inside the tent. They couldn’t sleep properly because of the Dangerous sound coming from deep inside of the forest. But since they were very tired they slept as they led their heads on the pillows.

Both the friends woke up together and went out to see something amazing, the place which was looking very much scary to them, now it was looking like heaven. Beautiful flowers surrounded the pond. The different Flowers of different colors were all touching the heart of the two friends. And the fruits on the trees were all covering the entire trees. It was unbelievable to see so many kinds of trees in a single place. Apple trees, Coconut trees, Walnut trees, Banana trees and many more trees of different kinds were all present at that single place. Apple trees, Coconut trees, Walnut trees, Banana trees and many more trees of different kinds were all present at that small place.

Alex went inside the jungle to collect fire wood. As he passed through those beautiful flowers, he admired them and went inside the jungle. It took a lot of time for Alex to find a dry tree to cut. Mean while, George went to collect the fresh, beautiful, delicious looking apples, banana and many other fruits. After collecting the fruits he went to take a bath inside the pond. The water inside the pond was clean and fresh, all the water was looking like..........DIAMOND!!!! Deep inside the pond George saw a something shining like diamond. He immediately jumped into the pond and swam straight to the thing which was shining like diamond. George could see the thing from above but he couldn’t make out what it was. He saw the thing lying as it was there for thousands of years. Beside that thing he saw many skeletons of human beings lying all around it. He came near that thing, it was nothing else than a beautiful lamp made of gold and indeed, BIG DIAMONDS were embedded and big RED RUBIES were also embedded to the lamp. He took the lamp in his hands. His eyes shinned to see the lamp made of such diamonds and rubies. He thought he could sell it and become the richest. His mind went wild by the thought of selling the lamp. In the excitement of getting the lamp and by the beauty of the lamp he even forgot to back to the surface. It was too late for him, he was drowning. His mouth was wide open, he couldn’t breathe, and he also lied among the skeletons beside the golden lamp.

"George, George, where are you George?" shouted Alex when he couldn’t find George in the tent. Alex searched every where but suddenly he slipped and fell in the pond. Alex controlled himself and came out of the water. He thought even George could have fell in the pond like him. So he dived in the pond to search George.

Alex got horrified to see George beside the skeletons and swam faster than ever. He caught George by his hand took him to the dry land. Alex pumped out all the water from the stomach of George. But still George was lying on the ground as a dead body. Alex did what ever he could do to save his best friend on earth. George's pulse was going down slowly Alex gave a hard thump of the chest of his friend. George started breathing with a jerk. Alex checked his friend’s pulse it was slowly increasing. Alex was so happy that he shouted at the top of voice. All the birds on the trees made screaming sound as they flew away from that place.

Alex took George on his shoulders and took him inside the tent. George also got his conscious back. He gave him those fruits which George himself had collected before he drowned in the pond. George was about to eat that fruit and he stopped to ask about the lamp he had seen in the pond," Alex, where is the lamp? It was so beautiful, did you see it? Did you see those diamonds and rubies? They were so big, weren’t they? Now tell me where is it," said George in one breath. He was still exited about the lamp." Hold down, hold down, try to take rest you are still very weak. And don't ask so many questions at a time. And however what were you saying ` A LAMP ' that also made of gold with diamonds and rubies in it. I don’t believe you," said Alex as he laughed at George.

"No, I am not bluffing it's true I saw it with my own eyes," said George tying to convince Alex to believe him." It was in my hands when I drowned in the pond, and if don't believe me go and see it must be on the ground where you had lied me," said George still trying to convince Alex. Alex said," Okay, okay I will go and see that lamp which you have seen." Alex went out to search the lamp.

“Oh my GOD it's beautiful!” said Alex in amazement. He couldn’t believe his own eyes. He picked the lamp up and kept on staring at it. George came from behind and snatched the lamp from Alex and said, “It’s mine I found it first, I won't give it to you.” Alex was surprised to hear such a thing from George. George became greedy; he wanted to have the lamp all by himself he didn’t even think of Alex who saved him from drowning just some moments ago. Alex's heart broke he couldn’t believe his own eyes he was feeling very terrible.

A whole week passed, and still the two friends didn’t talk to each other. George didn’t talk to Alex because he thought that if he talked with Alex, Alex may ask for share. But Alex was not at all thinking of asking any share from George. He just wanted his friend back. He felt as if his heart was filled with water and was trying to come out.

Next morning, Alex took his axe and went into the jungle to collect firewood; he searched for a dry tree. After searching for a long time he at last found a dry tree. He picked up his heavy axe to hit the tree a loud shriek came out of the jungle. First Alex didn’t pay attention to the loud sound thinking that it was of an animal. Again when he was about to hit the tree with his axe he heard a familiar voice of a man, which was saying "HELP ME , HELP ME , PLEASE ALEX HELP ME." Alex didn’t waste any time and ran towards the direction of the sound and shouted “Keep shouting so that I can follow you and don't worry, I am coming.” Alex ran as fast his legs could take him.

It didn’t take much time to reach the place where a big monster was standing. The monster was about 15 feet high and its hands were like as if it was holding trees in its hand. Its fingers were countless were wet with blood. Blood was dripping from the mouth of the monster. Its feet were as big as a car. And its stomach was almost touching the ground. And its head was like the head of a boar. All its teeth were coming out of its mouth which looked like it bruised its own lips. Its skin was like a sheet of rock. Its tail was as thick as the sewage pipes.

The monster's feet were on a Giraffe whose long neck was ripped apart from the body. And the Giraffe was lying in the pool of its own blood. The monster took the tail of the Giraffe in its mouth and tore the tail apart from the body. And under the huge tail of the monster was Alex's own friend GEORGE. George was screaming with pain he was bleeding very much and he couldn’t even move his fingers. It looked as if he broke his bone.

Then suddenly "AARRGGHHHH.....” screamed George when the monster hit him with his tail and threw him in air. Alex couldn’t believe his eyes he was dumbstruck, his mouth fell wide open. George fell on his back on the sandy ground, it looked that he was not hurt much even after falling from such a height. Even Alex screamed in the top his voice "Nooooooo, hang on George I am coming.” Alex ran towards George and took him on his shoulders and carried him under a huge bush where the monster couldn’t come. But the monster ran towards Alex and made horrifying sound, the sound of the monster was shattering the ears of the two friends. Alex saw some sharp stones lying near by, he took some in his hands and threw them on the face of the monster. The monster was not at all hurt, the stone hard skin of the monster was didn’t have any effect. But the stone fell on the stomach of the monster; suddenly a fountain of liquid came out of the stomach of the monster. A black colored liquid was raining on Alex. Alex got an idea and threw stones on the stomach. The black colored liquid flooded the ground; the liquid was so slippery that Alex was unable to stand on his legs. The monster's stomach was no longer touching the ground and all the bones of the monster were sticking to the skin of the monster. The liquid stopped coming from the monster's stomach, and the monster slipped and fell on the ground making a thunderous sound, as if some nuclear bomb exploded. The black liquid fell on the two friends. Alex tried to run away with George from that place but slipped again and again, George didn’t even try to stand on his legs. Even the monster was unable to stand, it fell over again and hit a stone and the stone slipped away and the head of the
Monster exploded and a stream of shinning green blood came out of the head of the monster and,"MMOOAANNNNN ....” the monster made a loud ear splitting sound. Now the monster tried even hard to stand on his legs, Alex was watching all this. He caught a branch of the bush near by and pushed himself away, he slipped and went far away from that place, and he didn’t lose the grip on the hand of his friend.

As Alex and George were going away, the monster again fell on some huge boulder. They stopped and Alex took George on his shoulders and took him to the tent. Alex limped as he carried George and laid him on the floor and started nursing George. Alex looked at the right hand of George it was fractured and was bleeding heavily, his head was also bleeding and his cloths were all torn. Alex didn’t attend to his own bruises but kept on serving his best friend ever, GEORGE. George was still unconscious and was slept the whole day .While George slept Alex bandaged himself and ate food. It was evening when Alex woke up George " Are you okay, eat some food and drink this you will feel better and don't try to get up out of your bed and call me when ever you need some help " said Alex as he handed over a glass of glucose and plate full of apples and bananas, and went out of the tent near the fire and sat there. Alex acted as if he was not hurt at all and covered himself with a blanket to hide his bandaged hands and legs and tried hard not to limp. George couldn’t eat those fruits, he felt guilty for not behaving properly with his friend, whom he used to consider as his only friend on earth. He was feeling very terrible and was very sorry to act like that.

BLACK DOG KALIYA

It was a small village in North India, where there was a school for kids. This school was quiet different from other schools, it took evening classes at 5pm to 9pm.The school was at the edge of the village where a dense forest lay 100 meters ahead. The village was so small that all the houses lay in sq km.

There was a small boy who went to the evening school. Like other kids Ramu often forgot books, Tiffin box etc in the school. But quiet more often.

Like every evening Ramu went to the school and was returning when he met a jet black dog. He was very happy to see the dog. Ramu and his friend played with the dog and had fun and left to their houses. Ramu couldn’t sleep whole night, he wanted to see the dog and play with it.

Next morning he woke up early, took bath and had his breakfast and left to see “Kaliya”, this is what he had decided to call the dog. Whenever Ramu met Kaliya Ramu was always happy, but never saw ‘kaliya’ waving its tail at Ramu. Ramu always wondered why Kaliya behaved like that. But that didn’t draw a line between the emotions of Ramu and the dog ‘Kaliya’.

After attending his class Ramu went to see Kaliya. He saw Kaliya with another boy. Ramu felt quite jealous to see kaliya with another boy. Ramu asked the boy to leave kaliya alone for him. The boy refused and hugged ‘kaliya’ deeper into his chest. Ramu became so furious that he started beating the boy. Some people nearby tore the two boys apart and made them quiet and asked them to leave. Ramu became silent, but to his amazement he couldn’t see kaliya. He started crying; he searched and searched but couldn’t get to see kaliya. He didn’t have food whole night and didn’t sleep.

Early morning Ramu got ready, ate his breakfast and took some roti along to feed ‘Kaliya’. He found ‘Kaliya’ being fed by the same boy with whom Ramu had a fight last night. But keeping in his mind what his parents had told him last night about the fight he had. His blood boiled, but didn’t utter a single word but rather went near the boy and said hello to him. The boy wondered but didn’t react much and said hello coldly. Ramu politely asked the boy his name. The boy replied Mohan. Mohan had given ‘Kaliya’ lots of bones and meat that too freshly chopped. Ramu opened his box of rotis and kept in front of ‘Kaliya’. Kaliya didn’t even look at the roti. Ramu couldn’t see into the eyes of Mohan. Ramu couldn’t see this happen, he pushed his box of roti in front of ‘Kaliya’ and threw the box of meat away. Mohan was stunned; he didn’t dare move a muscle, until ‘Kaliya’ opened his mouth for the first time in front of Ramu to bark. Kaliya barked at Ramu and ran for the box of meat. Mohan gave a very cunning smile to Ramu. Ramu felt humiliated and left. Kaliya was eating once again with more greed.

Ramu thought of doing something to Mohan, and made a perfect plan, which he thought ‘nobody can ruin’. And slept comfortably to wake up quickly so that his plan gets executed with ease.

**************

It was 12’O clock when Ramu woke and lit the lamp.

**************

It was 2’o clock when Ramu slept and put off the brightly lit lamp.

**************
It was 4’o clock when people were screaming outside Ramu’s house. Ramu felt a very hard slap on his face and heard his mother asking him what he had done last night. Ramu first didn’t understand at first and asked his mother to repeat. She repeated but with more number of slaps on the cheeks of Ramu. Ramu cried out of pain. He asked his mother what he had done that she was beating him so badly. But before she could answer him some people started banging their doors. She was already scared but now she was looking much worse.
