The Darkest June is a fictional story about how Wangduephodrang Dzong
was ablaze. It has nothing to do with the fact. It is purely a creative writing.
The story says how a boy, known by his pet name Jambo, from Trongsa runs
away from his home at night and takes himself to lead his own life. From the
day he sees the Wangduephodrang Dzong, he sees a recurrent dream about the
dzong being in ablaze with him in the courtyard of the dzong.
The story is written in parallel (Fractured Tandem), one being the story of the boy and how he spends his life
in Bhutan and Jaigoan-the border town to Bhutan, and the other story is about
how a group of Europeans after knowing about the presence of a very rare
diamond in Wangdue Dzong, plans to get it.
In the climax, the men of these Europeans happen to
visit Bhutan through Jombo’s travel agency. Jumbo is somehow linked with the robbery
of the rare diamond rock from the dzong and its blazing. Jumbo’s recurrent dream
was the omen for this incidence.
I
love the way our own Bhutanese writers are making an effort to publish more and
more books. As a Bhutanese, we should support and encourage more Bhutanese
writers to come up with their publication.
Kudos to all the writers!
