Eela Vendhar

“That day my parents were listed as Wanted, or more like criminals, I’m not sure if you will understand this, To start this story I need to take you 200 years back into the past.

In the year 1815, British government went to Srilanka, then that island was known as Ceylon. They were a place in Sigiriya which was known as Ravana’s golden palace.

In that Palace, there was Statue that was 10 feet tall and had such a charismatic look, that was the most beautiful statue there and it looked so real…It was like a human but it had the perfect features, These statues nowadays don’t have a chance against it, That has a godly presence…Whoever saw that statue use to just bow down in front of it.

The word spread out, and till now no one saw how that statue looks except for Cingalese or nowadays term Sinhalese(Native Sri Lankan people). People use to protect this statue at any cost, and Cingalese people guarded that place for years.

The guardians of that place were set by King Sri Vijaya Rajasinha, He became the king in 1739, and in the year 1740 he found this place and he was driven…He was moved by that statue's excellence and Charismatic look. In the Year 1747, he died and his last wish was to look at that statue for one last time, then his Brother in law Kirti Sri Rajasinha became the king and even he was mesmerized by that statue since then even the next king, his brother bowed down to that statue, Sri Vikrama Rajasinha was the last king then the British rule came in the year 1815.

That statue became a god for those people.

But till then that place was a temple for the people of Sri Lanka…Till 1815 everyone was allowed but then people got to know about the British coming and they just didn’t want any white person or any foreigner to see their god. Even the greatest of great kings bowed in front of this Statue.

Few called him the Lord Ravana, and Few called him Eela Vandhar. They were 1000s of people protecting the Temple.

In the year 1818, the British had guns which gave them an upper hand, they killed everyone and for the first time, they saw that Statue. It was the most beautiful thing they ever saw. The commander, with his 100 soldiers saw it, the superior officer felt so possessive of the statue.

There was sunlight coming from behind which felt like the Statue was wearing a crown of sun.

That Special officer killed all his soldiers, all 100 of them, took the statue, and flew away. He was never found after, but in the year 1860, The British government was curious about the soldiers and Commander, They sent everyone to search for him…They found all the 100s of soldiers have died and their body was decomposing.

They found everyone Except for the Commander, which made them curious…So they sent a team to search for this commander…They found him in a small house, dead holding that statue's legs in a submissive pose. The face of the Statue was Face coved with his clothes. He covered his face to avoid others to see.

This made the British army think, about what this statue is about, So they informed the higher officials. The higher-ups took to their laboratory and the government higher-ups came to see this Statue, They brought one old sri lankan to check if he knows about this statue, that officer removed the shirt from the Statue and that Sri Lankan guy bowed down, and hit his head hard on the ground, He kept hitting and said. “I can’t believe it! This is EELA VENDHAR! I could see it, my life is fulfilled."

That British officer was impressed by the beauty which made him curious, if this statue is sculptured or if it's a real person. He killed that Sri Lankan guy and hired a lot of scientists from different fields to find the truth about this Statue. For more than 100 years, a lot of different scientists tried to know, who is this and what is this…People who ever spoke about this were killed, and that commander became old but his son took care of this Statue.

In 1890, A famous American Scientist came Named Nikola Tesla, This guy was just a pure genius, His eyes opened wide…His words on this statue made people Laugh and made a few people think.

His words were, “Someday, This Statue will make our Slaves into our Rulers.” After that, Nikola Tesla never spoke about it nor did he say about it to anyone…That commander’s son still wonders what he said.

More than 50 years have passed, 1000s of chemicals were used to test what material this was, 1000s of hammers were used to break this never one was successful… Now that commander’s Grand son was in charge of this beauty.

In 1946, the United Nations signed the Treaty of Peace…This treaty said the British government should leave the country, but this year a Scientist named Willard Libby found this thing called Radiocarbon Dating, which could find out anyone’s age.

At that time, this can only determine by 50,000 years in the past and this statue was found to be 50,000 years in the past. This gave the scientists the boost they needed something to know about this Statue.

But in life nothing happens quickly, for the next 26 years there was no development in this statue, No one was able to figure out what it was and the British left Sri Lanka, but one Indian scientist wrote down everything about this statue and gave it to his grandson.

This was 2003, A guy named Stephen Blue from Hyderabad found this book and showed his superior but the superior didn’t agree officially Stephen was so desperate so was his wife, They went to search and do research on this Statue. It’s rumored they had a daughter, they left her daughter and they pursued this instead.

A group of 4 people, Stephen Blue, Stacy Blue, Maron Smith, and Lisa Smith were sent unofficially to find this and they found it in the Temple. It was magnificent, so beautiful. They took this to India a Lab in Hyderabad.

By this time, the technology was advanced enough to tell how old the Statue was. They tried an experiment and found out this statue was

65 MILLION YEARS OLD.

Everyone in that shop where they were sitting holding hands while vikram was feeding them was shocked, Everyone shouted including Kuji, “ Woahhhh!!!.” Casey exclaimed, “65 million years ago, that means that STATUE WAS MADE WHEN DINOSAURS WHERE PRESENT!!”

Emma exclaimed, “Yeah! Right! That’s the coolest part of the story.”

Rohit asked Emma, “If this information was found in 2003, why didn’t we know about it but just you knew?”

Emma replied to Rohit while her face was blushing, “I knew it because Maron Smith and Lisa Smith were my parents and they told me this before them disappearing.”

Noah exclaimed, “ Oh god!! Tell us your Looping story already…It's like asking Neil Degrasse Tyson his favorite color and him telling about how to teach calculus to chimpanzees.”

Everyone laughed and Emma Smith said, “Here you go, Here is the story of my Looping day.”

“When they found out about it, they didn’t tell anyone and kept a secret among themselves, they went on researching it.

10 years passed and in 2013 they found out the Statue was missing, that day that blame went on that group of 4, I still remember my parents giving me their research book and flying away with their team.

Later false charges were made against my parents, From income tax to robbery everything was charged to them, our house was taken away, and I was left alone but it seems like they have paid for my education in a hostel before this news break out so I went to the school and I have learned everything about human history.

The day I was looping, Began to be a normal day then I saw my parents come to my home, I was happy to see them but then they gave me a book and ran away…Their phones were off, police came to my house, people in the society began to talk bad stuff… A lot of irrelevant stuff, then their pictures were shown on Tv saying Robbery and Black money, They have hidden the True reason about the statue.

I remember my parents saying, “It went missing, We didn’t steal it, trust me.”

Then they made me shift to the hostel and I cried a lot that day, the same thing happened again and again…I wasn’t ready to see my parents who worked 10 years for this and get such a bad name like this to them. That was my loop.” She concluded

Cris added to her statement saying, “ I guess everyone was looping some bad memory from their life, irrespective of the day when it happened. Somehow our parents went missing, Majority of our parents went missing in the year 2021.”

Noah shouted and said, “HEYYYY I GOT A GREAT BUSINESS IDEA! What if we all began to reproduce a few babes and sell their organs!!!” His eyes sparkled

Everyone kicked his stomach and said, “ That’s the stupidest thing I ever heard.”

But it suddenly changed the mood of the room, A girl looked at Noah and said to herself, “ I would love to reproduce with you.”

Lee who was holding her hand was standing beside her heard that and smiled…
