The Secret of Palamu Fort! Naila Hina

The walls of the Fort were not as tall as those of Walhalla, but still considerably tall!

Inside it was a new world of new heights of luxuries and entertainment!

It was like the biggest hotel or some classic castle now turned into a motel.

Speculation and gambling games were going on in many forms. From betting on horse rides or car rides in the large fields and tracks inside the Fort to small machine rollettes to old school gambling going on the tables in that enormous hall!

Immerse in the elegance of your mind in some stretch of isolation, to emerge with renewed enamels of innovation.

The gentle cooing voice of Malerin fanned the already hot and musical atmosphere around Aariz!

Yes, For the past couple of weeks, your stars have dimmed!

Teased his opponent in front of him across the table, the king of technological empires, Hurry Chund!

 Someone's being misguided and lead to misconception and miss conclusion!

Replied Aariz with a smile, looking at his cards.

Michelle Ross sarcastically said:

You find yourself in a difficult situation with no clear path ahead and you’re unsure what to do next.

 Aariz and his partner in crime Malerin laughed out loud!

But you are definitely in need of a change.

The biggest storyteller of the time Evan Hansen advised all of them apparently:

 

You can’t just keep waiting–it’s time to be the main character of your own story again!

Malerin said to Evan who was a Nobel laureate.

Try turning back into your internal voice.

It’s telling you to start a new dialog !!!

Replied the writer.

He threw his cards on the table and collected the coins, reciting his new poem gladly:

CALLING FOR A COMBATIVE CRACKDOWN ON THE PEDDLERS AND THE PIMPS, AS WELL AS THE CLINTELE BASE.

A new month, a nascent mindset, and a fresh set of priorities.

May the novelties of November nab the nagging impediments narrowing down our zone of vision and aspirations,

for instilling and nurturing in our naive and numb neurons a nimble-footed urge to venture out of the nasty nest of narcotics.

The net and nexus of this hypnosis and nepotism,

neatly engulfing the neo-liberal norms at social spheres,

do sprinkle a sweet charm and narrative inscribed into our nomadic nerves,

a never before feeling of letting our lips upon the nectar dripping nozzles and nipples of some nubile nymph.

Neither the nochalance of Nero nor the obsessiveness of any nerd is the need of the hour.

All roads must lead to converge, to nip the menace right at the bud.

The seemingly non convulsive cyst may be conferred conscious clinical attention before catching proportions, cryptic and carcinogenic.

They all clapped and restarted the game and drinking from their refilled glasses!

Talking about justice, addressed Aariz like a teacher:

The figure in the Justice card holds two objects: a scale in one hand as a symbol of balance and a sword in the other to exemplify the preservation of that equilibrium even by means of force.

Meaning: The Justice card indicates that the fairest decision will be made. Justice is the sword that cuts through a situation, and will not be swayed by outer beauty when deciding what is fair and just.

Upright card (keywords): Balance and equilibrium, Cause and effect, Fairness, Justice, Responsibilty

Reversed card (keywords): Dishonesty, Imbalance, Lack of accountability, Legal flaws, Unfair treatment

Element: Air

Ruling planet: Venus

Next card: The Hanged Man

Again there was a big laugh at their table. They were certainly enjoying the game, their company and this conversation!

Till wee hours of the night, they danced then went to their respective most luxurrious rooms with their respective partners.

Malerin Wolf was the supermodel and top star actress of the film industry, a heart throb who's own heart was captured by Aariz, a dashing multi billionaire.

The life in the Fort was like this. Big shots came there to enjoy their beautiful moments inside it and to plan for the kismet of the world. They were politicians, writers, technology giants, elite white collar CEOs and other celebrated leaders of their fields with one thing in common: Criminal mindset!

Exchange of weapons and drugs and their ideas for chaos around the world was their main agenda! It was part of their evil nature and they took great pleasure in doing crimes! They had already accumulated so much wealth that they could not think of better ways of using their fortunes! 

To show off and earn rewards and give awards they did charity work for the betterment of society and environment. But it's just their political poker face! Inside that mask was another crooked face. They were the movers and shakers of the world systems. Palamu Fort was their head quarter.

They had no danger from any underdogs to challenge their authority. In fact no common person ever knew about what's happening inside the fort. But of course there were their servants and goons who executed their plans but even those people didn't get to know the bigger picture.

Their peddlers were planted everywhere who played good cop, bad cop games all the time! They had stockpiled more wins for their bosses, in the 'no-time' category than any other racers in history!

Tashee was collectively ironing the clothes in the dryer shop in her neighborhood, where she worked part time and at evenings she did modeling hired by the agency. She had dreams about going to Hollywood and act on TV channels. But for now she was just a model in local fashion shows at the back of the line! Her ideal was Malerin Wolf! Wolf was the owner of the agency as well and granted her to work there on personal liking rather than the talent. All in all tashee got this job on face value as she had no past modeling experience. After all she was on sixteen. She belonged to a lower middle class family with many little siblings. She had to quit school for jobs and earn to live and share in payment of the the house rent and bills.

Her boyfriend Fyroz came to pick her and ride her on his bike to the agency. He was Anglo-Indian, tall, dark and handsome boy, himself a model in the agency.

They were like some boogie street outlaws trying to merge in the mainstream media!

When will Madame Malerin be back from her tour?

She just talked for the sake of conversation with his first boyfriend.

Tightening her arms around him on the motor bike.

What can I say dear.

He sighed, thinking of his charming boss. Despite her great influence upon his young mind for her beauty power and charm, he had some reservations about her. Not that he was in any position to judge her character or anything else. They were all the same in those not so flowery patches unlike what they presented to the fashion world! 

When they reached the door of the agency building, they saw the famous actress descending from the long black Rolls Royce. They saw the glimpse of the extremely handsome man kissing her good bye on her cheek. The guy's eyes caught those of Tashee and she lost her beat!

Of course she was loyal to her boyfriend and used to watching top class model daily, he sure was not a person who one watches everyday! 

Both of them unbiked themselves and Aariz kept watching her from the tinted glasses of the luxury car, drinking his champagne and thinking about his moves over this new crush! It was not at all difficult for him to get her details from the agencies, which he did through one of his managers very easily.

Next morning his big car came to the little dryer shop and the uniformed chauffeur went inside it. He talked to the shop owner who ordered Tashee to go outside with the chauffeur immediately.

She obeyed reluctantly. When she saw the Rolls Royce she got dumb founded for a moment. It was a decisive moment of her life which could make or break her career. At the same time she could fall from the dreams of her sky to the reality floor in this same moment. She decided not to go in that big car, thinking about her boyfriend.

The chauffeur and the invisible guy inside the car got astonished at this open show of courage and stupidity at the same time in front of her. 

Then the chauffeur assumed his driving seat and the car strolled away from her eyes. Her shoulders bent down due to energy drain and she felt pale and ill on the gravity and upcoming circumstances of her immature but correct decision!

----------------

Dr Michelle Ross was in one of her chains of laboratories, researching on next level of bio bombs. She was a medical genius and among the board of directors of WHO, as her slate was clean except the gold medals. She runs many hospitals and medical and pharmaceutical organizations and schools of medicines. She was a role model for the medical students but an evil genius herself.

She had already cloned an army of people from the DNA s of great generals and geniuses of the history. In addition to which, she was in close relationship with Hurry Chund and both of them had created an artificial robotic army as well as with his technological help cloned and robotic parts and new innovations in Bio medical technology. 

What was happening in those laboratories, no common eyes could see behind their closed doors. Most of these laboratories were situated in Palamu Fort. It was their strong hold.

One of her medical students poked his nose inside the hall and listened to her conversation with other senior scientists. His eyes got widened with surprise. He closed the door silently and tip toed to his friends on his work desk in the other Lab for students. He disclosed what he saw in the main hall. They all got shocked and afraid.

 Bio bombs!! Seriously!! They called out in chorus in disbelief.

I will certainly not allow any rats to demolish my life long plans!! Panic was evident from her moves as Michelle Ross said this firecefully pacing inside the length of the hall.

She called Hurry Chand hurriedly and he listened to her calmly. He asked the names of the students in that group who had over heard their plan and shared it with media.

The media was ablazed with theIr sensational story now.

It was really a shock for them but hurry Chand managed to curb the story to be spread more further. He talked to his influential friends in various newspaper and their websites and they stopped the media trial. Still there were some good folks who were not ready to leave the culprits but see them all behind bars. So situation was not completely controlled yet. 

He called Evan Hansen who had multifluous intellectual properties online social media well as in print media and on silver screen and films. Evan was aware of the gravity of the suitation and did his part to effectively pin the scene with the help of his artificial and manual underdogs, poets, bloggers, writers and journalists, etc. All paid up generously for the job well done.

My life has become a mess!

Tashee was crying on the shoulder of Fyroz. She could not mention about the rolls Royce incident to him, afraid he would doubt herself instead of appreciating her loyalty, or get jealous. 

First my father lost his job as a labour on per day pay. Then my younger brother was thrown out of school for no big reason. Every thing has gone crazy at our home. We cannot handle this bad situation anymore!

Fyroz got emotional. He was an angry young man with a rebellious nature towards rich people. He supported his girlfriend in the time of need 

I'm tried of taking wrong turns on every road! 

She sniffed her nose and he offered her a tissue paper from his pocket.

They were sitting on the beach on a bench looking at the setting sun and rising moon and lights of the city reflecting back from the ocean bed. He bought fish and chips from nearby stall and they ate their dinner. 

Then they went to the agency to practice the next fashion show. Her heart thrusted to her throat on watching the Rolls Royce at the front door of the building.

Inside was the usual hustle and bustle of the models changing cloths and shoes and accessories etcand make up artists were busy applying cosmetics on them in the dressing room. Music was on in loud volume and everybody's bodies were on move due to thrill of the artificial lights and flashing atmosphere.

In this eccentric surrounding, she saw Aariz flirting with Melerin and she was all smiles. They were both drunk with glasses in their hand and they were watching and gossiping about the models and other celebraties in this market. 

Aariz didn't pay much attention to her as if he never attempted or even know her. She took a sigh of relief but at the same time her heart longed for him. Despite the fact that she loved her boyfriend very much, who was very handsome and younger than Aariz, he was nothing in front of this rich guy who's name was a brand in his field.

In that same moment, Fyroz eyes were fixed on Melerin. Unlike every one else who were looking at her astonishingly beautiful physique, he was paying attention to other details and tried to hear their conversation from the close corner where he was standing with Tashee himself. There were so many beautiful models that nobody was paying any attention to each other.

Ross is in deep waters! 

Aariz whispered to Melerin and she smiled in affirmation. 

Yes she is! But I don't think this matter hardly matters to our wellbeing. They will handle it easily. After all it's just a bunch of students. Who gives any serious attention to these things and their stuff!

They both laughed their hearts out and started dancing where other models were practicing dance as well.

Every one else moved away to give them space and enjoyed their dance moves which were iconic. They were literally flowing in the air with beats and waves of music, their bodies move like fluids in coherence with each other. Both were flexible and great artists. It was a scene to remember for the lifetimes of the kids and models around them.

Fyroz took Tashee in his arms and started dancing as well.

The room got filled with thrill and both couples looked like they were in friendly competition. Young couple had to prove their mattle in front of their boss and the boss was a super dancer herself like her partner in crime Aariz. 

Music changed and both couples changed partners as well as per the rule of the game.

Tashee s body felt aflamed on the hot touch of Aariz. He seemed to be some out of this world deity and she got hypnotized by him in no time. On his part Aariz condition was not very different than hers. She looked like a child in front of Melerin who was a diva and beauty queen. Still young age has its own advantages, which were shown on her innocent face and bountiful youth. She was very beautiful indeed but a raw material. He felt deep urge in his heart to polish herself and her talents. He brushed her pink lips and instantly forgot every other wine in the world. This was the taste he wanted from all eternity, he thought. Her reluctance and shyness only increased his resolution to get her. His moves got more intimate. Tashee felt overwhelmed by all this and his strong gestures of love.

She saw towards his boyfriend who was busy competing with his boss and talking to Melerin about God knows what! 

Tashee felt a Surge of jealousy by this sight and stopped resisting Aariz. Now they were dancing fluently and the room was a heaven.

Melerin was amazed at the capability of the kid as well as his courage to talk to her. She was pleased with his talent and thought herself lucky to have such great talent in her school of dancing and modeling.

She was five feet nine and with eight inches heals she was very comfortable with the tall kid who was at her eye distance, with piercing looks.

What are you trying to read?

 She asked smiling at Fyroz 

Trying to solve your mystery, ma'am!

He replied and she laughed.

Impossible, my boy!

This word was neither in Napoleons dictionary nor it is in mine! 

Fyroz kept his eyes fixed on her boss.

Try!

She challenged him, playfully.

And he swirlled her around in the dance move and caught her clean.

Please stop making my life more miserable, sir! It's already been a mess since I was born.

Pleaded Tashee, swaying in Aarizs arms and he replied:

I'm the solution to all your problems sweetheart! 

What do you want from a humble girl like me.

I'm under your spell babe!

And she put down her gaze in shyness.

When I come to pick you next time, say Yes! Ok!

Okay! Slipped from Tashee s tongue without her consent.

Aariz smiled and left her back to Fyroz and both couples stepped down from the dance floor. They were exhausted and got out of the building. Melerin sat in the rolls Royce while Tashee sat behind Fyroz and they scooted out of sight of their boss and her new lover.

That night none of them made love with their respective partners. Aariz dropped Melerin back to her mention after a game at one of his motels, which he won to no surprise of anyone. He stood at the side of his large swimming pool thinking about Tashees eyes which resembled the color of the water inside the pool. The moon was full and pale and his heart ached to his surprise after a long time in the fourty long years of his lifetime. 

I will get her!

He decided resolutely. 

His mobile bell rang and he picked up the call. It was Michelle, clearly not well. 

Hey girl, I didn't know you would get so upset by some couple of kids!

Our secret is out dear and I'm worried. We finished few of them and others are now retaliating more.

Let's bring them to the Fort then! He hissed like a snake.

Ok.

Ross said and phone died.

He looked at the moon thought fully and made a plan to solve the situation at hand.

This was a diversion from his own plans to spend time with his new beloved. He has his own warships filled with nuclear weapons and armored cars and aircrafts. But some problems cannot be solved through force. They need mental manuever.

The students were kidnapped from their houses and we're brought to the cells in the Fort next day.

Aariz had planned to take Tashee to some far away island and enjoy her company alone. Instead he had to take her with him to the Fort next morning after picking her from the shop. 

Tashee got spell bounded by the panaromic views of the Fort and it's luxurious buildings and visionary mass communication which could only be seen on tv or films.

Even the masses were no common persons. Everyone around was a celebrity or something extra ordinary. She felt extremely fortune to be among those people. Aariz chauffeur had brought some branded wear for Tashee which she had changed before getting in the car. Now she was thankful for his generosity otherwise she would be miserably out of context there.

The group met at the hall. They totally ignored Tashee as if she didn't exist. 

They discussed the problem and Tashee s eyes got widened. She excused to change and went to the bathroom. She instantly dialed Fyroz s number and told him the situation as well as sent him her location. It was somewhere out of Paris near Versailles.

On her way back she saw the jail like cells outside the hall from one of its not so traditional but very wide stylish windows. She saw students there shouting and crying.

She got really afraid of all the big fish around her in the casino hall. She wished to be disappeared from there urgently.

After awhile she saw Fyroz with Madame Melerin, their boss. Melerin took seat at Aarizs side and joined their discussion forgetting Fyroz completely. Both kids stood up and excused for taking more drinks from the bar. They slipped from the hall and ran out to the cells. There were no guards but cell doors were locked by some digital system.

They hurried back and searched for the I.T control room. Finally they found it and entered it. Guards tried to stop them but they told him they had come there on personal orders of their boss Melerin. 

They saw the computer panels opened and they could see the whole Fort on cameras. So they just clicked the right keys to open the cells.

Then they took the students out of the Fort without anyone noticing them because the group was still busy planning in the casino hall. Nobody had any concerns with others affairs in the Fort.

All youngsters went straight to the FBI office and they arranged a press conference immediately which got aired live instantly. The whole world got aware of what was happening in the Fort. FBI took over the Fort overnight despite extreme pressure from influenctial forces from all walks of life. But case went in the court and everyone in the Fort got arrested. Unfortunately the world goes round these people but their competitors got active at that time. So now there was no use crying over split milk!

FBI attack was so sudden that the people inside the Fort were shocked. They could never imagine this could happen despite all the procautionary measures about the business of the Fort.

Never underestimate the element of surprise!

Tashee and Fyroz were awarded alongwith other students. They got admissions in the university for free. They got famous.
