[Babab96]

...............


Mene chaaron ko ek saath rok diya.

Raghav ne meri kamar pakadne ki koshish ki.

Vikram ne mera kandha.

Ranveer ne mera baazu.

Aur Arjun ne saamne se meri grip rok li.

Kuch pal ke liye me bilkul beech mein tha.

Chaaron taraf se chaar log.

Lekin mere pair zameen par mazbooti se jame hue the.

Raghav_ Ab!

Chaaron ne ek saath zor lagaya.

Mere pair mitti mein aur gehre dhans gaye.

Ranvijay_ Is baar pakad liya!

Balram_ Dekho! Jay hil bhi nahi raha!

Udaybhan ne dhyan se mujhe dekha.

Udaybhan_ Hil nahi raha...

Ek pal rukkar Udaybhan ne kaha—

Udaybhan_ ...kyunki ye khud mauka de raha hai.

Jeevan Singh ki aankhon mein halki si chamak aa gayi.

Jeevan Singh_ Bilkul.

Mene dheere se apna sar uthaya.

Me_ Bas?

Chaaron bhaiyon ne ek-doosre ki taraf dekha.

Mene apni kamar seedhi ki.

Me_ Ab meri baari.

Mene sabse pehle Arjun ki grip tod di.

Arjun ek kadam peeche hua.

Mene turant Ranveer ka haath pakda.

Ranveer_ Arre! fir se nhi..

Mene use apni taraf kheench liya.

Ranveer ka balance bigda.

Mene usse kamar se pakda aur ek controlled movement mein hawa mein utha liya.

Dhaam!

Ranveer mitti par.

Vikram ne turant mere kandhe par attack kiya.

Mene bina peeche dekhe uski kalai pakad li.

Vikram_ Ye kaise—

Mene ghoomkar Vikram ka balance bigada.

Aur agle hi pal—

Dhaam!

Vikram bhi mitti mein.

Raghav ne mujh ko rokne ke liye seedha grip banayi.

Is baar Mene Raghav ko seedha nhi uthaya.

Usne uski grip ko use karte hue apna angle badla.

Raghav ka balance chala gaya.

Mene uska kandha pakda aur use side mein le jaakar mitti par gira diya.

Dhaam!

Raghav kuch pal chup raha.

Phir hans pada.

Raghav_ Samajh gaya.

Jay_ Kya?

Raghav_ Tumhare saamne hum jitna zor lagate hain... utna hi tum us zor ka istemal hamare khilaaf karte ho.

Mene muskurakar kaha.

Me_ Kushti mein yehi toh seekha hai.

Arjun ab bhi khada tha.

Usne mujhe dekha.

Arjun_ Aur main?

Mene uski taraf dekha.

Me_ Aap abhi bhi khade hain.

Arjun_ Toh phir kushti bhi abhi baaki hai.

Arjun ne mujhe pakda.

Is baar Mene turant counter nahi kiya.

Dono kuch pal tak ek-doosre ko push karte rahe.

Arjun ne mujhe neeche kheenchne ki koshish ki.

Mene pair jama liya.

Arjun ne phir poori taqat lagayi.

Mene uska momentum roka.

Phir dheere se kaha—

Me_ Arjun ji...

Arjun_ Haan?

Me_ Aapne pehle bhi achhi kushti ki thi.

Arjun_ Aur tumne mujhe haraya tha.

Me_ Isliye aapko pata hai main kya karne wala hoon.

Arjun ke chehre par halki si muskaan aayi.

Arjun_ Pata hai.

Mene grip badli.

Arjun_ Lekin phir bhi koshish karunga.

Jay_ Isi liye toh aap sabse alag hain.

Ek pal baad Mene Arjun ko bhi utha liya.

Shalini_ Arjun!

Jay ne Arjun ko kuch pal control mein rakha.

Phir use bhi mitti par controlled tareeke se gira diya.

Dhaam!

Arjun zameen par tha.

Aangan mein poora sannata chha gaya.

Me beech akhade mein khada tha.

Mere saamne chaaron bhai mitti mein the.

Ranveer uthte hue bola—

Ranveer_ Bas...

Vikram_ Kya hua?

Ranveer ne hanskar kaha—

Ranveer_ Main maan gaya.

Vikram_ Kya?

Ranveer_ Jay ko ek saath chaar log bhi nahi hara pa rahe.

Vikram bhi uthkar baith gaya.

Vikram_ Haan.

Raghav ne mitti jhaadi aur khada hua.

Raghav_ Ye regular pehalwanon ki kushti nahi thi.

Usne Meri taraf dekha.

Raghav_ Aur Jay... tum humse alag level par ho.

Arjun bhi khada hua.

Arjun ne Mere saamne aakar haath badhaya.

Arjun_ Aaj tumne sirf mujhe nahi...

Usne peeche Raghav, Vikram aur Ranveer ki taraf dekha.

Arjun_ ...hum chaaron ko samjha diya ki kushti aur taqat mein farq hota hai.

Mene Arjun ka haath pakda.

Me_ Aap logon ne bhi mujhe achcha challenge diya.

Arjun_ Aur?

Jay_ Aur maza aaya.

Ranveer hans pada.

Ranveer_ Agli baar main akela aaunga.

Vikram_ Pehle mujhse nipatna.

Raghav_ Tum dono pehle training karo.

Ranveer_ Raghav bhai, aap bhi toh hare ho.

Raghav_ Main haar maan raha hoon. Tum abhi bhi bahane bana rahe ho.

Poore aangan mein hansi goonj uthi.

Jeevan Singh dheere-dheere akhade ki taraf badhe.

Unhone chaaron poton ko dekha.

Phir Meri taraf.

Jeevan Singh_ Jay.

Jay_ Ji.

Jeevan Singh_ Aaj tumne mere chaaron poton ko hara diya.

Me chup raha.

Jeevan Singh_ Lakin

Me_ Lakin?
