Another
drop of sweat dripped down the lining of his muscled face. The scorching heat
was making it even more difficult to play now. The sweat had drenched his body
so much as if he was drenched in rain. His clothes were stuck to the body and
his long hair was also stuck to his forehead now. His blue and white jersey signified he
belonged to St.louis team. Removing the sweat from his forehead he concentrated
back on the game.
Sweat
wasn't unusual for him but the game was. His passion, his dance, and college
reputation everything was at stake. This was his only chance to win everything.
Once and for all. This game today will decide his future. For once he had just
left it on destiny but not this time. He has learnt the lesson of his life
destiny is never in the once faith who trusts it blindly but in the one's who
tries to win over the destiny.
For
the audience it was just a match. For students it was just another occasion to
howl upon and cheer their respective teams. For teachers it was a question of
college reputation mainly VP sir. For the St.louis players it was a question of
their passion. But he was the only one having not just one but so much of
pressure on his shoulder. Why won't he after all he was the captain. He has to
take up all the responsibilities without complaining.
Being
a captain isn't easy. You do get respect. You do get name. You do get pride.
But all this doesn't come for free. Neither is any amount of hard work enough.
You have no. of responsibilities to handle. Just being a good player isn't
enough. You need to be capable of managing the team. Bring the best out of your
team members. Solve their every problem. Your team's name and reputation is on
your shoulders. Just addressing the team to play well isn't enough. You have to
give your best too. And answer the supporters. Fans won't ever blame the team
for not playing well but the captain is blamed for not managing well. It's just
another match for the team but it's the question of his and team's reputation
for the captain.
He
might have played hundreds of matches in past. But this was much more than just
a match to him. Winning or losing in the past matches hardly mattered but here
it does. Once again everything of his was at stake. Once again everything was
against him. But this time he won't let it go so easily. He will fight and win
it. He had left things untouched 2 years back but not now. He'll try his level
best. That time he might have lost his family but this time he won't let AVP
rip his passion off from him. At any cost.
The
crowd was cheering like roaring lions. After all st.louis had done a brilliant
come back since the music was on. The ball was in his hand and there were many
people's faith's on him. St.louis students faith in him to see their college
winning. Team's faith to get their dance back. But above all his sister's faith. Moving his
eyes on the score board he took a deep breath 22-25. Welhem's were still
leading by 3 points and there were just 10 more sec left. There wasn't a way
they could win. The Welhem's boys had covered all his team members and the
basket was quite too far for him to reach.
Letting
another drop of sweat roll down his forehead he closed his eyes. Taking a deep
breath he went into a small piece of memory from past. The past which was his
everything.
"me
phirse haar gaya" said a 8 year old boy with a pout.
"Awe...baby
dukhi mat ho"said someone in a soft tone
"Papa
amesha jeette kyu hai"complained the boy folding his hands
"jeetne
dete na isse khush to hota?"asked the boy's mom
"nahi
Asha me isse jeette hue dekhna chahta hun par iski khudki mehnat se me chahta
hun ye mujhe haraye na me isse jitane dun" said the man with a smile.
"par
papa aapne mujhe pura cover kiya tha me jeet nagi pata" said the boy with a
cute confused look.
"jeetne
ke liye rasta jaruri nahi hota simple ho agar aapko sachme jeetna hota to aap
rasta khud banate na mujhe jeetne dete"said his father ruffling his sweaty
hair. The boy gave a confused look.
He
opened his eyes coming out of his memory lane it took him nothing more than 2
sec to remember his sweet past. bb to him was taught by his father Rishi
Shekhawat. The national level bb champ in his time. bb was like a tradition of
his family. His grandfather taught it to his both sons and they passed on to
their kids.
"jeetne
ke liye rasta jaruri nahi hota simple ho agar aapko sachme jeetna hota to aap
rasta khud banate na mujhe jeetne dete" he remembered this line of his father.
9 years back he didn't understand the meaning but now he did. He had to find a
way to win this time. For him. For them. And most importantly for her. For his
little sis who went against her post to give them a chance. He had to do it for
her.
Letting
another deep breath he gazed at the watch one last time. 5 seconds left. Just 5
seconds. Gazing once on the score board he sighed seeing it 5 seconds and 3
more points. One three shooter and the game is theirs. But one mistake and
regret for life.
"this
is for you Taani" he whispered to himself and threw the ball directly into the
basket. Not caring of where it would go. Just hoping for the best. After all
hopes are what which make us strong. This world runs on hopes.
Forgetting
about everything else everybody's gaze shifts on the ball. Suddenly the tension
in the atmosphere rises much more than the usual. It was the goal that had
decided the match's victory. St.louis or Welhem's??? the only question in
everybody's mind. Welhem's the defending champions or st.louis the dancing
players.
Their
mouths were open and their eyes were stuck on the ball. Cheers had stopped and
just a hope resided in the atmosphere. Hope that their desired team wins the
game. Panting heavily a soft smile crept on his face as the ball went directly
into the basket giving a three pointer.
This
was it. He did it. He won the state basket ball championship and also
everybody's trust. The crowd screamed and hooted in joy. While his friends
jumped in for a tight hug.
"dude
superb shot" complimented his best friend Reyaansh Singhania. He just
smiled and thanked him for them. But that smile soon vanished as he remembered
something. This time he won it but last time...
Shrugging
off the thought he smiled hearing the screams "Swayam! Swayam!" cheered the
crowd marking him Swayam
Shekhawat the man of this basket ball match. Life has never been simple to
him. First unwanted coverage and now unwanted misunderstanding. But finding
happiness in such situations is what one should learn from him.
The
game was finished and the presentation ceremony replaced it soon followed by
high amount of celebrations from each St.louis soul.
Sitting down the window gazing at the night
sky the beauty was lost in her own dream land. The flawless moon in the night
sky shining emitting its moonlight gave a scenic beauty to the night sky. Her
whitish skin shined brightly in the moonlight. Giving her an Angelic look.
Resting
her head on the wall she went back in the memory lane remembering the things
which are happening with her since Shivam left. Shivam had been her support
since she entered St.louis until...
Forcing
Shivam to go out of St.louis she had lost many things. Things had turned
complicated to her. Unwantedly she was appointed as the GS. Her relation with
her friends weakened. And Rey's rudeness was sky high.
Why
isn't life simple to her as the way it is to others??? But then she had got her
time of enjoyment unlike others. God puts you on test someday or the other and
this is what is happening to her. The ever carefree girl who just enjoyed her
life to the fullest is now lost into a lake of simplicity.
People
always blames god for every bad. But she is amongst those rare who thank god
for every good. Why won't she??? Good things happening to her are nothing more
than god's gifts right??? Bad happenings were like her life now. A life which
was not ready to change at any cost. It is said one has to payback for his/her
every deeds in this very own world. That was what she was doing. Paying off.
If
that was complicated this was even more. At least there the mistake was known
but here Rey's behavior is like a question mark to her. She couldn't understand
what Rey meant. What Rey wants from her??? She couldn't understand him.
A
lone tear trailed her cheeks as she remembered how life has been rude to her.
First that fiasco and this was another one. The RH scene. That was nothing less
than a fiasco shiver ran down her spine as she remembered their almost kiss.
His rough lips touching her slender body giving her each sense of completion.
It felt so right, so perfect, so complete that moment.
She
wanted to live that moment. A moment which gave her that immense happiness
which she longed for years. Her heart was screaming yes. Her heart was
screaming in contentment, satisfaction and completion. She so wanted to taste
those luscious lips. But then again her mind wasn't ready to accept it. The
confusion in his eyes wasn't letting her do that. She felt incorrect and so ran
from there stopping him and leaving him in confusion.
She
had hopes that what happened was out of love but that hopes shattered with the
rudeness that followed. Love is always complicated. And maybe love is not meant
for her. Or else life wouldn't have given so many barrier's in their way. But
then again when was life simple to her??? If RH scene escapes her mind for once
that incidence occupies it.
I
don't have any tension. If this is what you say then you are totally wrong.
Time will come when in the phase of life you are you will get the biggest
worry, tension of your life. Why even if you cry hard nothing will happen.
Same
thing happened with her and him. The happy-go-lucky siblings now struggle every
minute to survive. But one thing happened the best in all this worse and that
is growing of their bond. They became closer than ever. The closest bond in
universe. Turned out to be theirs. After all in comparison with a bro-sis bond
there couldn't be a closer bond then this.
A
small smile adorned her face as she remembered how her brother Swayam had been
with her through all their thick's and thins. From childhood till date. The
only one who had always been there with her from the first breath till the
present day one. And hopefully till her last.
"sab
thik hoga Tannu I am with you". she remembered him saying everyday from the
time they had left everything. Starting a new life here was not easy. But they
weren't weak to give up. No never. They were strong and did everything to
survive. They fought against their destiny's and survived in each other's
embrace. With both being each other's biggest support pillars all the while.
She
heard the opening of the door and moved her eyes to gaze upon the person who
just entered her room without even knocking once. Her soft smile turned into a
brighter one seeing the guy she loved the most in the world. Her brother. Her bhai Swayam Shekhawat.
People
always thought her life was very easy. May in London being the biggest business
tycoon's daughter or being in India the GS of St.louis. But being Tanisha
Shekhawat is never easy. Fake friends for money status and reputation in London.
Fights with real friends due to designation of GS in India. And then the great
mistake. May it Tanisha or Taani Shekhawat both had lives more like a
complicated game. Once enter it and stuck up there forever. No chance so
getting out from the traps present in it.
"princess" whispered Swayam
"Congrats bhai" said Taani with a smile
Swayam smiles goes to her and embraces her in his arm.
"Thanks princess" whispered Swayam kissing
on her forehead "teri tabyat kaisi hai" asked Swayam with worry clearly visible
on his face
"Better hai bhai" said Taani with a smile
"Missed you" said Swayam Taani smiled and
ruffled his hair
"tujhe kuch batana tha princess" said
Swayam nervously
"kya hai" asked Taani confused seeing him
not meeting her eyes
"Sharon came back and..."started Swayam but
kept words hanging in air nervously
"What is it bhai???" said Taani narrowing
her eyes
"She
is my gf" said Swayam in a go
"What
seriously???"shouted Taani in happiness Swayam just nodded embarrassed
"wow bhai I am so happy for you congrats"
said Taani in her usual bubbly tone hugging Swayam tightly
"Thanks princess" said Swayam scratching his
hair
"aaj to double victory hai aapki wait I'll
cook your favorite dinner today" said Taani excited
"princess ek aur baat this is secret kisi aur
ko mat batana sirf tujhe bataya haiand maye Rey later on no one else" said
Swayam
"Rey" muttered Taani
softly with a sign
"kya hua?"asked Swayam narrowing his eyes
"bhai ko batana
chahiye??? No no no pata nahi vo kaise
react karenge" thought Taani
"bata na?"asked Swayam narrowing his eyes
"aapko to pata hai na bhai meri aur Rey ki
constant fights" said Taani Swayam noded in disbelief and smiled
"ab batao propose kaise kiya???"asked
Taani excited Swayam smiled smile embarrass as Taani smirked
"baadme chal dinner banana hai aaj humdono
saath cook karenge" said Swayam Taani giggled and went to cook dinner.
"Ouch" winced Taani as she cut her finger
while cutting onions
"Taani" said Swayam shocked seeing her
wince and saw her finger cut he sucked the flood easing out her pain she smiled
"Thanks bhai I am fine" said Taani with a
smile Swayam removed it and pulled her to his room and first aided her wound
"ab tu yahi baith dinner baki ka me bana
dunga" said Swayam
"bhai I am fine" said Taani with a smile
"no me kuch nahi sun raha sit here" ordered
Swayam strictly Taani smiled and nodded Swayam smiles back and leaves comes
with food and feeds her.
"bhai me kha lunga aap apnsa dinner karo"
said Taani
"no tera haat kata hai pehle tu kha" said
Swayam and continued feeding her she side hugged him and had her dinner.
Life
may not be easy for them but being in each other's embrace even the toughest
times seemed to be a phase of enjoyment to them. They way they just shared
Swayam's moment of happiness they also each other's every moment of sorrows and
griefs no caring of what the things are, how much by the other's coldness one
will get hurt. May life was difficult yet the challenged life threw on them made
life perfect for them. The day they left they decided they would stay for each
other and till date they abide by this promise. Not caring of how harsh the
world will be. What they have to face and how they'll face. They were fighter's
who fought against their destiny and snatched their lives from it.
But
even destiny was not a weak player to play with. Mistaking destiny to have left
their back is their biggest mistake. Which they would soon realize. A mistake like
the past one. Or even bigger. Staying in each other's arms they don't have any
idea what destiny has in store for them. They don't know that the
game has just began.
