Update 56
Hotel – Arjun’s room, late night
Team bus hotel pahuchti hai. Sab players uth kar apna-apna bag leke lobby me chale jate hain. Arjun thoda piche reh jata hai, ek kone me khada ho kar phone nikalta hai.
Uski aankhon me thakan bhi hai aur ek bechaini bhi. Jaise kuch baat adhoori reh gayi ho.
Woh call lagata hai — screen pe naam blink karta hai: Ammu
Ek ring… do ring… teesri me hi uth jata hai.
Ammu ka voice slightly stern, par usi me chhupi hui warmth
Ammu
Arjun, tujhe ek message bhejna bhi nahi aata? Ek call bhi nahi kar sakta tha?
Arjun (softly hansi se)
Final ke baad press… fir team huddle… fir awards… us sab me…
Ammu (cut karte hue)
Haan haan… tu toh star hai. Pura Rajasthan tujhe dekh raha tha.
Arjun (aur soft)
Tu dekh rahi thi?
Ammu (thoda ruki… fir dheere se)
Haan. Har moment… tu jab gira tha… tab bhi…
Mubarak ho… Man of the tournament. Golden boot bhi… wah!
Arjun (voice me halka sa sukoon)
Thanks… teri dua thi.
Ammu
Ab tu zyada ud mat jana… superstar. Zyada proud ho gaya toh next match me cheerleader banake khada kar dungi tujhe sideline pe.
Arjun (laughs)
Bas tu khud cheer karne aa jana. Aur kuch nahi chahiye.
Tabhi Arjun ke kamre ka door knock hota hai. Coach ki awaaz aati hai:
Coach
Arjun! Team dinner downstairs. Celebration start ho gaya hai.
Arjun (door ki taraf dekhte hue)
Ammu… mujhe ab nikalna padega. Coach bula raha hai… thoda celebration hai. Tu so ja, bahut late ho gaya hai.
Ammu
Ruk… ek second.
Arjun
Haan?
Ammu
Arjun…
Arjun
Hmmm?
Ammu
Ummmmmm…
(phone pe ek halka sa kiss sound hota hai)
Arjun ki aankhon me ek ajeeb si sharam bhari muskurahat aa jati hai. Woh kuch nahi bolta… bass muskurata hai aur phone ka screen dheere se blank ho jata hai.
Scene end with soft background score
Ammu apne takiye par muskurate hue phone side rakhti hai…
Arjun door ke paas khada hota hai, ek lamha khud ke saath bitake… phir dinner ki taraf nikalta hai — ab uska chehra relaxed tha… jaise uski trophy ka asli reward abhi abhi mila ho.
Celebration Dinner – Hotel Banquet Hall, 11:45 PM
Bade se banquet hall me fairy lights jagmag kar rahi thi. Soft music baj raha tha… buffet table par pasta, pizza, desserts, mocktails sab kuch ready tha. Players apni jerseys utar ke casuals me aa chuke the — laughter, cheers aur photos ka mahaul tha.
Taz corner me ek group ke saath khada tha, sab use tease kar rahe the uske Man of the Match award ko leke.
Vikram
Taz Tu toh aaj Arjun ka bhi baap nikla… 2 goal back to back… wo bhi uske girne ke baad!
Taz (grinning)
Apna toh style hi alag hai bhai… jab tak todega nahi tab tak chhodega nahi
Table ke dusre side pe – Arjun
Arjun thoda late aata hai dinner me. Thakavat uski aankhon me thi, lekin chehre pe wo after-glow tha… jo sirf usi ko hota hai jise kuch precious mil gaya ho.
Team members usse ghusne nahi dete without teasing:
Rahul (Goalkeeper)
Yeh lo… Mr. Golden Boot aaye hain! Zara trophy ko autograph de do… ghar me rakhenge.
Taz aata hai uske paas
Taz
Bhai… tujhe girte hue dekh ke ek second ke liye laga tu nahi uthega. Par tu to… pagal hai. Poora 90 minute khel gaya banda. Respect.
Arjun (shoulder pe haath rakhta hai Taz ka)
Tere jaise striker team me ho toh banda gir ke bhi jeet jaata hai.
Coach unki table pe aata hai, ek wine glass me mocktail leke, sab ko toast karta hai.
Coach
You boys… did something magical. Especially you two — Arjun and Taz.
This isn’t just a trophy. This is the beginning of something bigger.
Sab cheers karte hain… glass clink hote hain… laughter goonjta hai.
Table ke ek corner pe Arjun quietly apne phone ki screen dekhta hai
Wahi selfie… jo Ammu ne bheji thi kal raat… ek pal ke liye uski muskaan deep ho jati hai… fir woh glass uthata hai aur soft murmur karta hai…
Arjun (for himself)
Cheers, Ammu…
Scene dissolves into slow motion montage
Taz pizza ka slice leke dance kar raha hota hai
Arjun team ke saath photo le raha hota hai
Coach sabko mocktail cheers kar raha hota hai
Background me trophy table light ke under chamak rahi hoti hai
Scene ends on a frame of Arjun, looking happy, surrounded by team... but aankhon me ek softness... kisi ek ki yaad leke.
Next Morning – Ammu aur Shanu ke ghar
(Shaam ko team aani thi. Subah se hi dono excited thi… lekin ab dopahar tak poora vibe wedding day jaisa ho gaya tha.)
Ammu’s room – 12 PM
Mirror ke saamne Ammu apne bal set kar rahi thi. White suit aur uske matching hoops. Light kajal aur lip tint lagake wo ek final baar mirror me dekhti hai.
Tabhi door khulta hai aur Shanu, ek haath me straightener aur dusre me eyeliner leke ghusti hai.
Shanu
Ammu
Mujhe thoda space de… liner lagane hai. Tu to ready ho gayi, na?
Ammu
(brush rakh ke thoda side hoti hai)
Main ready hoon… tu late hai. Waise bhi tujhe straightener se kya matlab…
Shanu (embarassing)
… chal jaldi kar, collage gate tak jana hai. Warna bus pahuch gayi to... cheer ke beech tu makeup stream karna padega!
Scene Cut To – College Gate, 3:30 PM
Collage ke main gate ke aas-paas full crowd tha. Student council ne posters, confetti shooters aur speakers lagaye hue the. DJ table se We Are The Champions baja raha tha.
Suddenly – Bus ki horn bajti hai
Saare students ekdam se activate ho jaate hai — clapping, hooting, aur loud cheer.
Bus dheere dheere gate se andar enter karti hai — blue color ke college logo wali team bus.
Rangon ke gulal hawa me udte hain
Patakhe chhoot rahe hote hai dono side se
Ladkiyan phool barsa rahi hoti hai bus ke upar
DJ ka beat aur cheer milke poora mahal vibrating kar raha hota hai
Close-up: Ammu aur Shanu
Ammu aankhon pe haath rakhe bus ki taraf dekh rahi thi… jaise bas ek jhalak chahiye ho uski.
Shanu (softly)
Aa gaye tumhare khiladi…
Bus ke gate pe curtain uthta hai… aur ek ek player utarne lagta hai — sab se pehle Taz, fir Vikram… aur sabse end me, Arjun.
Uske haath me trophy thi… lekin aankhen… Sirf ek direction me jaa rahi thi.
Crowd chanting
Arjun! Arjun! Arjun!
Taz! Taz! Taz!
Champions! Champions!
College Campus – Celebration Chaos
(Loud music. Camera flashes. Student council ke ladke-ladkiyan dhol bajate hue team ko welcome kar rahe hote hai.)Bus ke darwaze se jaise hi Arjun ne kadam rakha...
Uska ek haath trophy pe tha, lekin aankhen...
Ammu ko dhoond rahi thi.
Peeche se confetti udti hai, aur uske team-mates pe haath padte hai—
Victory ki vibe har taraf chhayi thi.
Zoom-In
Ammu crowd ke thoda peechhe, Shanu ke saath khadi thi.
Uske aankhon me ek ajeeb si roshni thi…
Pride, pyaar, aur ek chhupi si halki si hesitation.
Arjun
(andar hi andar, aankhon me)
Woh yahin kahin hai… I can feel her.
Ammu
(soft murmur)
Mujhe hi dekh raha hai…
Ek second ke liye dono ki nazar milti hai.Bheed ke parlay ek aankhon ka handshake.Wo aankhen—na muskurati hai na jhukti hai.
Bas... ek dusre ko mehsoos karti hai.
Lekin usse pehle ki Arjun ek kadam uski taraf badhata…
Taz (team-mate)
Bhaaiii! Tu kya kar raha hai! Aaja yaar!
Aur agle hi second me 4-5 excited juniors Arjun ko crowd se kheench lete hai.
Arjun
(mild resist karte hue)
Arey… main—
Lekin tab tak dusre players ne use trophy ke saath kandhe pe utha liya tha.
Phir kya—Champion! Champion! ke chant ke beech
Usse auditorium ki taraf march kar diya gaya.
Ammu – Slow Motion Reaction
Wo bas wahi ki wahi khadi reh gayi...
Nazrein follow karti rahi Arjun ko…
Par Arjun ka pichla glance usse mil chuka tha.
Shanu (shoulder se lightly thokte hue)
Dekha? Ab to star ban gaya hai tera Arjun…
Ammu (smiling slightly, eyes still fixed)
Haan… lekin wo mujhe dekh raha tha.
Scene: College Auditorium – Few Moments Later
Crowd auditorium ke andar chillaate hue ghusta hai, stage lights on hoti hain, aur entire team ko front stage tak le jaya jaa raha hai.
Stage par Arjun trophy lekar sab ke beech khada tha—
Lekin uski aankhon me ab bhi auditorium ke darwaze ki direction thi…
Jahan se Ammu dikh sakti thi.
College Auditorium – Stage Lights On
(Speakers se mic ki awaaz goonjti hai. Principal, faculty, aur Student Council sab front rows me baithe hai. Auditorium pura bhara hua hai.)
Stage par jaise hi team khadi hoti hai, loud music band ho jata hai.
Sambhal sambhal ke sab players trophy ke saath line me khade ho jate hai.
Taz center me khada hai, uske ek taraf Arjun…
Arjun ke haath me Man of the Tournament ka sash pehnaaya ja chuka hai.
Anchor (excitedly)
Please give a thundering round of applause for our heroes!
Jinhone sirf trophy nahi, humare dil bhi jeet liye!
Crowd phat padta hai – taaliyan, seetiyan, mobile flashlights, ek dam concert vibes.
Zoom-in: Arjun ka POV
Stage ki roshni aankhon pe pad rahi hai, lekin uska dimaag auditorium ke peeche ke darwazon tak chala gaya hai.
Ek ek karke wo aankhen scan karta hai…
Middle row… balcony... right-wing…
Lekin Ammu dikh nahi rahi.
Dil ke kisi kone me halka sa disturbance…
Us din ki selfie yaad aati hai.
Wo shrugg, wo soft ummm, wo raat ka call...
Arjun (andar hi andar)
Kahan ho tum... aaj ke din to sabse pehle tujhe dekhna tha...
Tabhi ek loud voice mic par goonjta hai.
Principal (smiling proudly)
This is not just a sports win, this is a moment of legacy.
And the boy who led this legacy…
Give it up for Arjun singh, our Golden Boot winner with 10 smashing goals!
Crowd erupts
ARJUN! ARJUN! ARJUN!
Confetti burst hoti hai. Spotlight Arjun par fix.
Wo forced smile ke saath aage badhta hai. Trophy upar uthata hai.
Ek photo ke liye pose karta hai.
Taz peeth thapthapata hai uski.
Lekin uske aankhon ka focus... ab bhi auditorium ke ek kone me tha.
Aur tabhi—ek second ke liye—
Darwaze ke paas se hatti hui crowd ke beech
Ammu ki jhalak milti hai.
White kurti, soft kajal eyes…
Halki si muskuraahat… aankhen bas Arjun pe tikki hui.
Arjun (andar se)
Mil gayi.
Uske lips halki si curve hote hai…
Photo click hone ke samay bas ek choti si smile…
Taz (teasing whisper)
Bhaai... ab to award le liya, wo bhi le le zara seene se…
Arjun
(half-smile, aankhon se Ammu ki taraf dekhte hue)
Already le chuka hoon…
Auditorium ke bahar – Shaam ki soft dhoop
Gate ke bahar students ka group ek dam mehfil bana chuka tha. Patakhe ki khushboo abhi bhi hawa me thi.
College ke lawns pe sab log team ke saath selfies le rahe the, kisi ka phone ghoom raha tha, to koi Taz ka autograph le raha tha.
Shanu ek kone me khadi thi, camera ready rakhe, kyunki usse lag raha tha kuch hone wala hai...
Ammu auditorium se bahar aayi. Thoda crowd se alag, thoda thehra hua chehra.
Halki halki thakaan thi, lekin aankhon me wo chamak – jaise kisi cheez ka intezaar ab poora hua ho.
Usne nazar uthai… aur usi waqt Arjun samne aa gaya.
Bheed me sab dheere dheere dhundhla sa ho gaya.
Sirf wo do log.
Ek dusre ke bilkul samne.
Bech me bas ek haath bhar ki doori.
Arjun aankhon se uska haal puchhta raha, bina kuch bole.
Ammu thoda sa neck tilt karke, aankhen churaane ki koshish karti hai.
Phir Arjun ne halki si awaaz me kaha…
Arjun
Aayi thi?
Ammu
Abhi to stage se hi ghoor ke dekh raha tha... tu hi bata.
Arjun
Crowd mein kho gayi thi tu…
Ammu
Aur tu to stage pe tha... fir bhi mujhe dhoondh raha tha?
Arjun ne ek second ke liye aankh jhuki, fir muskara ke dekha.
Arjun
Aaj jitne se zyada zaroori tha... tujhe dekhna.
Ammu ki saans thodi tez hui. Usne palak jhapkaayi.
Fir dheere se pallu ko ungliyon me lapet ke bola…
Ammu
Bohot chot lagi thi?
Arjun
Jyada nahi… tera naam yaad tha... isiliye khelta raha.
Ammu ne aankhen bhar aayi si roki…
Fir usne zyada emotional hone se pehle usi purani masti wali tone me kaha…
Ammu
Aur kitni lines rehearse karke aaya hai final ke liye?
Arjun (halki hansi ke sath)
Bas tu hansi to… match jeet gaya, dil bhi jeet gaya.
Background me Shanu ki awaaz
Ammuuuuuuuu! Jaldi chal, Taz photo ke liye bula raha hai!
Ammu ne ek baar Arjun ki aankhon me dekha.
Phir jaane se pehle thoda jhuk ke dheere se bola…
Ammu
Proud of you, Arjun.
Aur phir nikal gayi…
Arjun (andar se)
Tere ek lafz se... pura tournament worth lagta hai.
