Chapter.....12
Aur saamne Tessa khadi thi.
Uske tanned skin par sweat halki shine kar raha tha.
Athletic body clearly toned thi.
Aur uske chehre par wahi usual carefree expression tha…
Jaise usse duniya ki kisi cheez ki tension hi nahi hoti.
Academy mein Tessa ka naam almost har koi jaanta tha.
Not because she was smart.
Bilkul nahi.
Actually opposite.
Woh un logon mein se thi jo pehle punch maarte the aur baad mein sochte the.
Agar sochte bhi the toh.
Kai students secretly kehte the ki uske muscles uske dimaag se zyada developed hain.
Lekin ek cheez koi deny nahi kar sakta tha—
Woh physically dangerous thi.
Bahut dangerous.
Uski raw strength academy ke kaafi students se zyada thi.
Tessa ne bilkul casually apne shoulders stretch kiye.
Uske movements mein bilkul hesitation nahi thi.
Jaise woh poore gym mein sabse comfortable insaan ho.
Uska training outfit bhi usual ki tarah kaafi revealing tha.
Aur honestly…
Usse iss baat ki zero parwah thi.
Decency naam ki cheez jaise uske dictionary mein exist hi nahi karti thi.
Short top.
Exposed waist.
Tight shorts.
Aur iss waqt Vihaan jahan bhi nazar ghumaata…
Usse bas uski tanned skin hi dikh rahi thi.
Shoulders.
Legs.
Waist.
Arms.
Almost everywhere.
Vihaan ka expression halka sa awkward ho gaya.
Usne instinctively side mein dekhne ki koshish ki.
Aaj ka din waise hi uske dimaag aur body dono ko enough torture de chuka tha.
Ab yeh naya distraction uske saamne khada tha.
Aur sabse buri baat...
Tessa ko uski awkwardness ka zara bhi idea nahi tha.
Woh bas bilkul casually apne fingers crack karne lagi.
"Hope tum pehle wale se better fight doge,"
usne grin karte hue kaha.
Uski awaaz mein excitement clearly thi.
"Main easy nahi jaane wali."
Vihaan ne ek second ke liye usse dekha.
Phir andar hi andar thoda mentally prepare hone ki koshish ki.
Kyuki Nathan irritating tha.
Lekin Tessa?
Tessa seedha insaan ko deewar mein ghusa dene wali type thi ...

═════✧──✧──✧════
Woh ek second mein side mein hata, aur nathan ka punch hawa mein nikal gaya.
Usi moment Vihaan neeche jhuka aur usne Nathan ke pair ko neeche se sweep kar diya.
Nathan ka balance turant toot gaya..
"Shit—!"
Nathan ka balance poori tarah hil gaya.
Woh ladkhadaate hue aage ki taraf girne laga.
Uske pair mat par awkwardly ghise, jaise woh last second par khud ko sambhalne ki koshish kar raha ho…
Lekin body ne saath nahi diya.
Agla hi second
Thap!
Uska ek ghutna zor se mat se takraya.
Face ke bal seedha girne se bachne ke liye usne turant dono haath aage tikaye.
Yeh kya hua abhi ?
Isa Trash ne Nathan ke waar ko Sweep kar diya?... kaise ?
Kaise ho sakata hai yeh... ?
Kisi ne dhire se bola
Uske haath zor se mat par lage aur woh mushkil se apna muh zameen pe lagne se bacha paaya.
Ek pal ke liye uski saans
(Breath) hi atak gayi.
Uski aankhen shock se thodi badi ho gayi thi.
Jaise usse samajh hi nahi aa raha ho ki abhi hua kya tha.
Tabhi Selene ki tez aur sakht awaaz unki fight ke beech gunji.
"Good move, Vihaan!"
Usne zor se kaha.
"Attack karke ruk mat jao Vihaan!
Pressure maintain rakho—poora follow karo!"
Uski awaaz seedha Vihaan ke andar tak jaake lagi.
Jaise uske andar kuch achanak activate ho gaya ho.
Ek second pehle tak uski body sirf thakaan, dard aur bhaari saanson (breathing)se bhari hui thi…
Lekin ab uska focus achanak aur sharp ho gaya.
Uski aankhen seedha Nathan par tik gayi.
Us moment mein usse na gym ki awaaz properly sunai de rahi thi…
Na aas-paas chal rahi fights....
Sirf saamne khada opponent dikh raha tha.
Sirf next move
Sirf fight
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari thi.
Paseena ab bhi uske chehre se beh
raha tha.
Pair ab bhi dard kar rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi uska sharir pehle se zyada fast react kar raha tha.
Jaise body dheere-dheere fight ke rhythm mein aa rahi ho.
Nathan ne jaldi se khud ko sambhala aur wapas khada ho gaya, lekin uske chehre par irritation clearly dikh raha tha.
Usse bilkul expect nahi tha ki Vihaan uske attack ko itni clean timing se counter karega.
Aur sabse badi baat…
Vihaan ko yeh tak nahi pata tha ki poori class usse dekh rahi thi...
Kuch students apni fights continue karte hue side se baar-baar uski taraf nazar daal rahe the.
Kuch log toh literally apne attacks slow karke un dono ko observe karne lage the.
Aur kuch ne toh practice karna almost stop hi kar diya tha.
Kyuki unke saamne jo ladka fight kar raha tha…
Woh wahi trash Vihaan tha jo pehle running ke waqt sabse pehle tootne lagta tha.
Wahi ladka jo class mein almost Gayab (invisible) rehta tha.
Jise log weak
samajh kar ignore kar dete the.
Aur ab…
Usne Nathan jaise ladke ka attack perfectly read karke uska balance bigaad diya tha.
Nathan ne daant itni zor se bhinche ki uske jaw ki muscles tak tight dikhne lagi.
Usne gusse mein mat par tikka haath hataya aur jaldi se khud ko wapas khada kiya.
Uska chehra irritation aur embarrassment se bhar chuka tha.
Aas-paas ke students ki nazrein uspar pad chuki thi…
aur shayad wahi baat usse aur zyada chubh rahi thi.
"Lucky shot…"
usne dheere se gusse mein budbudaaya, jaise khud ko convince karne ki koshish kar raha ho ki abhi jo hua woh bas ek accident tha.
Lekin uski aankhon mein ab pehle wali casual smile nahi thi.
Ab wahan frustration tha.
Gussa tha.
Agla hi second woh phir se Vihaan ki taraf jhapta.
Iss baar uske moves pehle se zyada rough lag rahe the.
Jaise woh bas kisi bhi tarah Vihaan ko hit karna chahta ho.
Usne poori body ghuma kar ek heavy punch seedha Vihaan ke jaw ki taraf maara.
Attack itna achanak aur tez tha ki aas-paas khade kuch students ki saans tak ruk gayi.
"Oiiii—!"
Lekin Vihaan ka sharir usse pehle hi move kar chuka tha.
Uska dimaag properly soch bhi nahi paaya.
Body almost instinct se react kar rahi thi.
Woh turant neeche jhuk gaya.
Nathan ka punch uske sir ke bilkul upar se hawa cheerta hua nikal gaya.
Us swing ki tez hawa tak Vihaan ke baalon ko hila gayi.
Ek second ki bhi deri hoti…
Toh woh punch seedha uske face par lagta.
Nathan ki aankhen ek pal ke liye shock se phail gayi.
Usse clearly expect nahi tha ki Vihaan itni clean timing se us attack se bach jayega.
Dusri taraf Vihaan khud bhi apni heartbeat ko zor-zor se mehsoos kar raha tha.
Uski saansein ab aur bhaari ho chuki thi.
Paseena gardan se behkar shirt mein soak ho raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi…
Uska focus toot nahi raha tha.
Us moment mein uska sharir sirf ek cheez kar raha tha....
Survive
Vihaan khud properly samajh bhi nahi paaya ki usne move kab kiya.
Uska sharir bas apne aap react kar gaya.
Jab Nathan ka punch uske upar se nikla, usi moment Vihaan ka haath neeche se seedha upar ki taraf gaya.
Thud!
Uska mukka seedha Nathan ke pet mein jaake laga.
"Ugh—!"
Nathan ke muh se dard bhari awaaz nikli.
Uski saans ek second mein toot gayi.
Uska sharir turant aage ki taraf jhuk gaya, jaise pet se saari hawa ek hi hit mein bahar nikal gayi ho.
Woh do-teen kadam ladkhadaate hue peeche hata.
Uski aankhen shock se phail chuki thi.
Jaise usse yakeen hi nahi ho raha ho ki Vihaan ka punch itna solid lagega.
Phir uske pair jawab de gaye.
Woh seedha mat par gir pada aur dono haathon se apna stomach pakad liya.
"Haa… khh…!"
Woh properly saans lene ki koshish kar raha tha, lekin har breath toot rahi thi.
Aas-paas khade kuch students ki aankhen thodi badi ho gayi.
"Kya usne Nathan ko gira diya?"
"Vihaan ne…?"
"Kaise ho sakta hai yeh?"
Kisi ko expect nahi tha ki usually quiet rehne wala Vihaan itni clean timing se counter karega.
Aur sabse zyada shocked toh khud Vihaan tha.
Uska haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp raha tha.
Uski saansein bhaari thi.
Lekin uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si feeling uth rahi thi.
Jaise pehli baar…
Woh helpless nahi tha.
Vihaan chahta toh wahi ruk sakta tha.
Nathan already properly saans bhi nahi le paa raha tha.
Lekin us moment mein…
Uske andar kuch click hua.
Jaise uska sharir ab peeche hatna bhool gaya ho.
Jaise itne saalon ka daba hua gussa, helplessness aur frustration uske moves mein nikalne laga ho.
Nathan abhi bhi apna stomach pakad kar sambhalne ki koshish kar hi raha tha ki Vihaan aage badha.
Usne apna ghutna seedha Nathan ke chest mein maara.
Thud!
Hit itna strong nahi tha ki serious damage kare…
Lekin enough tha uska balance poori tarah todne ke liye.
Nathan seedha peeche ki taraf ladkhadaate hue gira aur zor se mat par jaa (spread) phaila..
"Ughh—!"
Uske muh se dard bhari karah nikli.
Kuch students ki aankhen aur badi ho gayi.
"Kya… Vihaan dominate kar raha hai?"
"Nathan toh poora neeche chala gaya…"
Nathan mat par phela hua bhaari saansein le raha tha.
Dusri taraf Vihaan uske upar khada tha.
Uski chest tez-tez uth aur gir rahi thi.
Paseena uske chin se tapak raha tha.
Body ab bhi kaanp rahi thi…
Lekin uski aankhon mein pehle wali weak hesitation nahi thi.
Usne bhaari saans lete hue dheere se kaha....
"Give up."
Nathan ne irritate hokar aankhen band ki aur dard se karaha.
"Ugh… theek hai…"
usne toot-ti hui saans ke saath kaha.
"Tu jeet gaya."
Fight khatam ho chuki thi.
Nathan ab bhi mat par pada bhaari saansein le raha tha, ek haath chest par aur doosra stomach par rakhe hue.
Dusri taraf Vihaan wahi khada tha.
Uski chest lagataar tez-tez upar neeche ho rahi thi.
Har saans bhaari thi..
Paseena uski chin se tapak kar mat par gir raha tha.
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Poora sharir training aur fight ki thakaan se jal raha tha…
Lekin phir bhi woh gira nahi.
Woh bas khada raha.
Ek pal ke liye usse samajh hi nahi aaya ki usse feel kya karna chahiye.
Uske andar ajeeb si mixed feelings chal rahi thi.
Ek taraf uske andar halki si jeet wali feeling uth rahi thi.
Nathan jaise ladke ko itne clean tareeke se harana…
Yeh pehle wala Vihaan imagine bhi nahi kar sakta tha.
Lekin saath hi confusion bhi tha.
Kyuki fight ke dauraan jo hua…
Woh uske liye bhi normal nahi tha.
Uske moves pehle se zyada smooth lag rahe the.
Zyada clean.
Aur zyada fast.
Aur sabse ajeeb baat…
Usne properly soch kar kuch kiya hi nahi tha.
Nathan attack karta…
Aur uski body already react kar leti.
Side step
Counter
Timing
Sab kuch almost naturally flow ho raha tha.
Jaise uska sharir khud fight kar raha ho.
Jaise muscles aur instincts uske dimaag se pehle decide kar rahe ho kya karna hai.
Usse clearly mehsoos ho raha tha ki kuch badal raha hai.
Sirf uski strength nahi…
Uska poora body control.
Nathan ke mat par girte hi…
Ek heartbeat ke liye poora gym bilkul chup ho gaya.
Aisi khamoshi jaise kisi ne achanak saari awaaz kheench li ho.
Na complaints.
Na fighting ki awaazein.
Na Selene ki daant.
Sirf students ki bhaari saansein gunj rahi thi.
Aur un sabki nazrein…
Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Kuch students shock mein the.
Kuch confuse.
Aur kuch ke chehron par clearly disbelief dikh raha tha.
Kyuki unke saamne jo ladka khada tha..
Woh wahi Vihaan tha jise woh hamesha weak samajhte aaye the.
Sirf chup nahi…
Aisi khamoshi chha gayi thi jaise poora hall ek pal ke liye saans lena hi bhool gaya ho.
Har taraf bas bhaari saanson ki halki awaaz thi.
Students thakaan se poori tarah toot chuke the.
Kisi ke baal paseene se chipak gaye the, kisi ke haath ab bhi kaanp rahe the, aur kai logon ki aankhen exhaustion ki wajah se properly focus bhi nahi kar paa rahi thi.
Lekin us moment mein…
Sabki nazrein sirf ek hi insaan par tiki hui thi.
Vihaan Drayke
Wahi Vihaan…
Jisne academy aane ke baad ek bhi spar properly nahi jeeta tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo kisi ki tez awaaz sunte hi instinctively peeche hat jaata tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jise dekh kar log ya toh mazaak udaate the…
ya ignore kar dete the...
Jo training ke waqt sabse pehle tootne lagta tha.
Jo hamesha weak lagta tha.
Aur ab…
Wahi ladka Nathan ko mat par gira kar uske upar khada tha.
Kuch students ke chehron par avishwas (disbelief) saaf dikh raha tha.
Jaise unka dimaag accept hi nahi kar paa raha ho ki abhi jo hua woh real tha.
"Ye… Vihaan tha na?"
"Nathan seriously haar gaya?"
"Kab se yeh itna fast move karne laga?"
Halki-halki fusfusaahat poore hall mein phailne lagi.
Lekin Vihaan ko woh sab properly sunai bhi nahi de raha tha.
Uske kaano mein ab bhi apni heartbeat gunj rahi thi.
Dhak..
Dhak...
Dhak....
Dhak.....
Uski body ab bhi thakaan aur adrenaline(energy‚rush) se bhar chuki thi.
Lekin andar kahin…
Ek cheez dheere-dheere badal rahi thi.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo William ki sirf ek thandi nazar padte hi chup ho jaata tha.
Jo uske saamne aate hi instinctively peeche hatne lagta tha.
Jiske chehre par hamesha hesitation
(Hichkichahat) aur darr saaf dikh jaata tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo class ke saamne kabhi properly awaaz tak nahi uthata tha.
Aur ab…
Wahi ladka iss waqt sabke saamne khada tha.
Uski chest bhaari saanson ke saath lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Har breath toot rahi thi.
Paseena uske jawline se behkar neeche tapak raha tha.
Uski shirt poori tarah paseene se chipak chuki thi.
Body ab bhi training aur fight ki thakaan se jal rahi thi…
Lekin phir bhi woh gira nahi.
Woh bas seedha khada raha.
Aur Nathan…
Nathan mat par pada hua tha.
Ek haath stomach par rakhe hue woh properly saans lene ki koshish kar raha tha.
Uska chehra irritation aur avishwas (disbelief) se bhar chuka tha.
Jaise usse abhi tak yakeen hi na ho ki woh Vihaan se haar gaya.
Poore gym ka atmosphere ajeeb sa ho gaya tha.
Kisi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha react kaise kare.
Jaise sabke dimaag ek hi point par jaake atak gaye ho.
'Yeh… kab hua?'
Students ke dimaag mein ek saath dozens of thoughts daudne lage.
"Nahi… yeh same Vihaan nahi lag raha."
"Isse pehle toh woh running mein barely tik pa ta tha…"
"Usne Nathan ka attack itni clean timing se kaise read kiya?"
"Uske movements pehle itne fast nahi the."
"Kya woh secretly training kar raha tha?"
"Kab se?"
Kuch students confusion mein ek dusre ko dekh rahe the.
Kuch ab bhi disbelief mein Vihaan aur Nathan ke beech nazar ghuma rahe the.
Aur kuch ke chehron par clearly uneasiness (bechaini)dikhne lagi thi.
Kyuki unhone pehli baar Vihaan ko weak nahi dekha tha.
Unhone pehli baar usse kisi ko dominate karte dekha tha.
Poore hall mein halki fusfusaahat dheere-dheere phailne lagi.
Lekin us sab ke beech Vihaan ko woh awaazein properly sunai bhi nahi de rahi thi.
Uske kaano mein bas apni heartbeat gunj rahi thi.
Dhak.
Dhak..
Dhak…
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Body ab bhi dard kar rahi thi.
Lekin uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si feeling dheere-dheere ubhar rahi thi.
Jaise pehli baar..
Woh sach mein badal raha ho.
"Kya Vihaan ne seriously Nathan ko hara diya…?"
"Nahi… impossible."
"Par sabne dekha na…"
"Woh itna fast move kaise kar raha tha?"
"Uska timing dekha tune?"
"Woh luck nahi tha…
bilkul bhi nahi."
"Kya yeh ab bhi wahi purana Trash hai?"
Halki-halki fusfusaahat dheere-dheere poore gym mein phail gayi thi.
Students ab openly apas mein baat karne lage the.
Kisi ke chehre par shock tha.
Kisi ke expression mein confusion.
Aur kuch log toh bas chup-chaap Vihaan ko dekh rahe the, jaise abhi bhi unka dimaag samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho ki unhone abhi kya dekha.
Nathan jaise ladke ko harana academy mein koi normal baat nahi thi.
Especially Vihaan ke liye.
Kyuki ab tak Vihaan ka naam strength ke saath kabhi joda hi nahi gaya tha.
Woh hamesha weak side par khada dikhta tha.
Hamesha pressure mein.
Hamesha peeche.
Lekin abhi…
Abhi usne Nathan ko cleanly counter kiya tha.
Attack dodge kiya.
Timing read ki.
Aur phir usse seedha mat par gira diya.
Aur yeh sab kisi desperate lucky hit jaisa nahi laga.
Uske moves rough hone ke baad bhi natural lag rahe the.
Jaise uski body suddenly fight samajhne lagi ho.
Nathan ab bhi mat par baitha hua tha, ek haath stomach par rakhe hue.
Uski saansein ab tak heavy chal rahi thi.
Kabhi-kabhi woh pain se halka sa muh bhi sikod raha tha.
Lekin uski aankhen…
Uski aankhen sirf Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Aisi nazar se jaise woh usse pehchaan hi nahi paa raha ho.
Jaise uske saamne khada ladka woh same quiet aur weak Vihaan tha hi nahi jise woh roz dekhte aaye the.
Uske chehre par irritation ab bhi tha…
Lekin us irritation ke peeche ek aur cheez bhi clearly thi.
Uneasiness (Bechaini)
Kyuki fight ke dauraan ek moment ke liye bhi usse feel nahi hua tha ki Vihaan panic kar raha hai.
Aur wahi baat sabse zyada unsettling thi.
Dusri taraf Vihaan khud bhi andar se utna hi confused tha jitna baaki sab.
Uski saansein (breathing )ab bhi bhaari thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho raha tha.
Paseena jawline se behkar gardan tak pahunch raha tha.
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the fight aur exhaustion ki wajah se.
Lekin phir bhi…
Uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si warmth uth rahi thi.
Ek feeling jo usne kaafi time se mehsoos nahi ki thi.
Control
Fight ke dauraan usse ek bhi baar woh purani helplessness feel nahi hui thi.
Na woh panic...
Na woh darr jo usually William ya kisi strong student ke saamne aate hi uske andar bhar jaata tha.
Aaj uski body freeze nahi hui.
Aaj usne peeche hatne ke bajaye react kiya.
Fight ki.
Aur jeeta.
Vihaan clearly mehsoos kar sakta tha ki sabki nazrein uspar tiki hui hain.
Lekin aaj un nazron mein woh usual mazaak nahi tha.
Na pity.
Na disrespect.
Aaj log usse alag tarah se dekh rahe the.
Confused.
Careful.
Hesitant.
Jaise poora class ek hi baat silently realize kar raha ho..
Vihaan badal raha tha.
Yeh change bahut subtle tha.
Bahut chhota.
Lekin itna clear tha ki ignore nahi kiya ja sakta tha.
Poore gym ka atmosphere pehle jaisa nahi raha tha.
Aur sabse scary baat yeh thi…
Kisi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki yeh change exactly kab start hua.
Lekin ek baat sabko yaad thi.
Woh kuch ghante…
Jab dungeon incident ke baad poore class ko laga tha ki Vihaan mar chuka hai.
Uske baad se…
Woh pehle jaisa nahi raha tha.
Vihaan ab pehle jaisa weak nahi raha tha...
Yeh baat ab sirf usse mehsoos nahi ho rahi thi…
Poora class us change ko feel kar raha tha.
Uske andar kuch badal gaya tha.
Kuch subtle.
Kuch aisa jo words mein properly explain nahi kiya ja sakta tha…
lekin ignore bhi nahi kiya ja sakta tha.
Fight ke dauraan uska move karna pehle se alag tha.
Uska timing.
Uska react karna.
Uska pressure mein panic na karna.
Sab kuch different lag raha tha.
Kitna different?
Yeh kisi ko nahi pata tha.
Shayad khud Vihaan ko bhi nahi.
Lekin ek baat sabko clearly feel ho rahi thi.
Woh ab wahi helpless Vihaan nahi tha jise sab easily daba dete the.
Poore gym mein halki fusfusaahat phail gayi thi.
Students ke chehron par confusion aur disbelief mix ho chuka tha.
Kyuki jo unhone abhi dekha tha…
Woh unke purane image of Vihaan se match hi nahi karta tha.
Gym ke ek side par William bhi apni sparring ke beech ruk gaya tha.
Uska opponent awkwardly peeche khada tha, lekin William ki nazar tab se Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Poore hall ka attention Vihaan ki taraf jaana usse clearly pasand nahi aa raha tha.
Phir usne achanak zor se naak se hansi nikali.
"Tch."
Usne shoulders roll kiye aur casual expression ke saath bola
"Zyada excited mat ho jao."
Uski awaaz poore hall mein clearly gunji.
"Yahan kuch bhi special nahi hua hai."
Poora class phir se chup ho gaya.
William ne Nathan ki taraf dekha jo ab tak mat par baitha apna stomach pakde hue heavy breaths le raha tha.
Phir uski nazar wapas Vihaan par gayi.
"Bas Nathan careless ho gaya tha,"
usne dismissive tone mein kaha.
"Aur tum log usse unnecessarily bada bana rahe ho."
Kuch students awkwardly ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
Kisi ne kuch bola nahi.
Kyuki William academy ke strongest students mein se ek tha.
Uske against openly bolne ki himmat usually kisi mein nahi hoti thi.
Lekin iss baar…
Uske words ke baad bhi atmosphere pehle jaisa nahi hua.
Kyuki sabne apni aankhon se dekha tha ki fight mein kya hua.
Unhone dekha tha Vihaan ka dodge.
Uska counter.
Uska confidence.
Aur sabse important...
Unhone pehli baar Vihaan ko kisi ke saamne freeze hote hue nahi dekha tha.
William ne bilkul casually apna angutha Nathan ki taraf kiya.
"Nathan Weak Chutiya Hai ....
Jo Ek Trash Se Hara Gaya."
Uski awaaz itni seedhi aur thandi thi ki ek second ke liye Nathan ka chehra aur zyada ugly ho gaya.
Lekin William ruka nahi.
Agle hi pal usne seedha ungli Vihaan ki taraf kar di.
Uski aankhon mein wahi purana contempt tha.
Wahi zeher bhari nazar.
"Aur woh trash bhi weak chutiya hai."
Poora hall ekdum chup ho gaya.
William ki awaaz dheemi thi…
lekin har word clearly sunai de raha tha.
"Weak logon ki fight ka result celebrate karne layak nahi hota....woh bhi isa jaise trash ka "
Teri Gand mei bohot khujli ho rahi hai na chutiye rukk ja tu thoda wait kar le ....achee se gand marunga teri mai .... bohot uda raha hai na khud pe bohot garv hai na tuze ....sabka return milega tuze bass thoda sa wait kar le....
(Vihaan ne man mai bola)
Uske words hawa mein zeher ki tarah phail gaye.
Kuch students uncomfortable ho gaye.
Kuch ne awkwardly nazrein hata li.
Lekin kuch log clearly convince bhi nahi lag rahe the.
Kyuki chahe William kuch bhi bole…
Sabne dekha tha ki Vihaan ne kya kiya tha.
William ne yeh hesitation notice kar li.
Aur shayad wahi baat uske ego ko aur irritate kar gayi.
Usne dheere se dono haath spread kiye, jaise poore hall ka attention naturally uspar belong karta ho.
Uske chehre par arrogant smile aa gayi.
"Agar tum logon ko real fight dekhni hai…"
usne confidence se bhari awaaz mein kaha,
"…toh mujhe dekho."
Uski tone mein itna confidence tha jaise result already decided hogaya ho.
Jaise uske liye baaki sab sirf background characters ho.
Poore gym ka atmosphere phir se tight ho gaya.
Kuch students instantly excited lagne lage.
Kuch nervous.
Aur kuch ki nazrein automatically Vihaan aur William ke beech shift hone lagi.
Kyuki sabko pata tha...
William ka ego kabhi kisi aur ko spotlight lene nahi deta tha.
"Bass....Bahut ho gaya tum logonka ."
Selene ki tez aur thandi awaaz achanak poore hall mein gunji.
Uski tone itni sharp thi ki William ke agle words literally uske muh mein hi ruk gaye.
(Jaise kisine uske muh mai lund de diya ho ...)
Jaise kisi ne ek second mein poore gym ki hawa kaat di ho.
Poora hall turant chup ho gaya.
William ka expression instantly stiff ho gaya.
Uske jaw ki muscles tight ho gayi aur aankhon mein irritation saaf chamak uthi.
Clearly usse pasand nahi aaya tha ki usse sabke saamne beech mein roka gaya.
Especially tab…
Jab poore class ka attention uspar tha.
Ek second ke liye laga jaise woh kuch bolne wala hai.
Uski aankhen halki si narrow hui.
Lekin phir usne khud ko rok liya.
Kyuki academy mein ek cheez sabko pata thi...
Selene ke saamne zyada attitude dikhana dangerous ho sakta tha.
Kyuki woh uska attitude usi ke gand mai dal deti...
William strong tha.
Bahut strong.
Lekin even he knew better than to openly argue with her.
Usne bas halki si irritated saans chhodi aur neck side mein ghuma li.
"Tch."
Uski annoyance clearly visible thi.
Lekin woh chup raha.
Poore hall mein ajeeb si silence phail gayi.
Kuch students secretly relieved lag rahe the.
William ka rant aur insults already atmosphere ko kaafi uncomfortable bana chuke the.
Aur honestly…
Kaafi logon ko yeh bhi feel ho raha tha ki William unnecessarily defensive ho raha tha.
Jaise usse Vihaan ko attention milna bilkul pasand nahi aa raha ho.
Selene ne William ko kuch aur seconds tak dekha.
Phir uski nazar dheere se Vihaan ki taraf gayi.
Uski tail ek baar halki si hili.
Ek chhota sa movement.
Lekin us movement mein amusement clearly tha.
Jaise usse poora scene interesting lag raha ho.
Phir dheere se uske honton par ek chhoti si smile ubhri.
Aur woh smile dekh kar kuch students ke expressions aur zyada surprise mein badal gaye.
Kyuki woh Selene ki usual smile nahi thi.
Na mocking.
Na cruel.
Na woh dangerous grin jo training ke waqt aati thi jab woh kisi ko torture karne wali hoti thi.
Yeh different thi.
Soft.
Real.
Genuine.
Aur shayad isi wajah se woh itni shocking lag rahi thi.
Selene kuch seconds tak bas Vihaan ko dekhti rahi.
Uski sharp beast-like aankhen usse quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Jaise woh uske andar aaye har chhote change ko notice kar chuki ho.
Uska movement.
Uska reaction speed.
Uska focus.
Uska pressure mein panic na karna.
Sab kuch.
Baaki students shayad abhi confused the…
Lekin Selene clearly samajh gayi thi ki abhi jo hua woh sirf ek lucky exchange nahi tha.
Vihaan ki body genuinely change ho rahi thi.
Aur sabse interesting baat yeh thi ki…
Vihaan khud shayad abhi tak yeh poori tarah realize bhi nahi kar paaya tha.
"Uski baaton par dhyaan mat do."
Selene ki awaaz iss baar pehle se kaafi calm thi.
Warm bhi.
Lekin us warmth ke andar ek aisa firmness tha jo seedha dil tak feel ho raha tha.
Poore hall mein phaili tension ek pal ke liye halki si shift hui.
William ne side se irritate hokar naak se saans chhodi, lekin Selene ne uski taraf dekha tak nahi.
Uski poori attention ab sirf Vihaan par thi.
"Tum improve hue ho,"
usne seedha kaha.
Uski awaaz mein bilkul bhi mazaak ya exaggeration nahi tha.
Pure honesty thi.
"Aur jitna improve hue ho…"
uski aankhen thodi aur sharp ho gayi,
…utna honestly kisi ne expect bhi nahi kiya tha."
Poora hall phir se dheere-dheere fusfusane laga.
Students ke expressions aur zyada complicated ho gaye.
Kyuki academy mein ek cheez sabko pata thi..
Selene compliments waste nahi karti.
Woh unnecessarily kisi ko praise nahi karti thi.
Agar woh kisi ki tareef kar rahi hai…
Toh uske peeche actual reason hota hai.
Aur iss waqt woh openly Vihaan ki improvement acknowledge kar rahi thi.
Yeh cheez hi kaafi shocking thi.
Vihaan khud bhi kuch seconds tak bas usse dekhta raha.
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari chal rahi thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Fight aur training ki wajah se uske muscles ab bhi jal rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi…
Selene ke words uske andar ajeeb tareeke se hit kar rahe the.
Kyuki academy aane ke baad shayad yeh pehli baar tha…
Jab kisi ne uski weakness ke bajaye uski growth notice ki thi.
Selene dheere se uske aur paas aayi.
Uski beast-like golden aankhen Vihaan ko quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Jaise woh uski skin ke neeche chal raha har change feel kar pa rahi ho.
Jaise woh samajhne ki koshish kar rahi ho ki exactly kya badla hai.
" Mujhe nahi pata tum kitne time se khud ko train kar rahe ho…"
usne dheere lekin clearly kaha.
"Ya phir tum pehle apni strength intentionally hide kar rahe the."
Students ke beech turant reactions aaye.
"Kya woh secretly train karta tha?"
"Par kab?"
"Mujhe toh kabhi notice nahi hua…"
Honestly, ab kaafi logon ko bhi wahi lagne laga tha.
Kyuki jo Vihaan aaj fight kar raha tha…
Woh pehle wala Vihaan bilkul nahi lag raha tha.
Uska movement alag tha.
Uska focus alag tha.
Sabse important
Aaj woh pressure mein toot nahi raha tha.
Selene ki tail ek baar dheere se hili.
"Lekin ek baat clear hai,"
usne continue kiya apni baat ko ....
"Agar tum isi tarah continue karte rahe…"
Uski aankhen seedha Vihaan ki aankhon mein tik gayi.
"…toh bahut jaldi baaki class ko catch up kar loge."
Poore hall mein iss baar pehle se zyada strong reaction hua.
"Kya?!"
"Selene seriously yeh bol rahi hai?"
"Matlab Vihaan itna improve kar sakta hai?"
Shock students ke faces par clearly dikh raha tha.
Kuch log ab bhi doubtful the.
Kuch uncomfortable.
Lekin ek cheez jo dheere-dheere atmosphere mein ub
har rahi thi…
Woh thi respect.
Chhoti si.
Subtle.
Lekin real.
Pehli baar students Vihaan ko sirf weak ya pitiful nazar se nahi dekh rahe the.
Ab woh usse seriously notice kar rahe the.
Jaise unke dimaag mein uski image dheere-dheere change ho rahi ho.
Aur yeh change sirf students mein nahi tha.
Nathan bhi ab chup-chaap Vihaan ko dekh raha tha.
William ka expression bhi pehle se zyada cold ho gaya tha.
Kyuki chahe woh accept kare ya nahi…
Sabko feel ho raha tha ki kuch badal gaya hai.
Aur shayad sabse zyada confusing baat yeh thi...
Vihaan khud bhi andar se yeh change clearly mehsoos kar raha tha.
Fight ke dauraan uska sharir naturally move kar raha tha.
Jaise uski body ko pehle se pata ho kya karna hai.
Jaise uske andar koi locked cheez dheere-dheere jag rahi ho.
Usse ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki exactly kya ho raha hai.
Lekin ek baat woh bhi deny nahi kar sakta tha.
Woh ab pehle wala Vihaan nahi raha tha.
"Tch... Jaise yeh kabhi hum tak pahunch paayega."
William ne yeh baat itni dheemi awaaz mein boli jaise woh bas khud se hi baat kar raha ho.
Lekin uski tone mein bhara hua zeher phir bhi clearly mehsoos ho raha tha.
Vihaan ki itani improvement dekh ke uski gand jal rahi thi ....
Uski nazar ab bhi Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Cold.
Neecha dikhane wali.
Jaise woh poore class ko yaad dilana chahta ho ki unke beech ab bhi kitna bada difference hai.
Jaise Vihaan ka yeh ek win uske liye kuch matter hi nahi karta.
Lekin iss baar…
Vihaan ne nazrein nahi churayi.
Woh wahi khada raha.
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari chal rahi thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Paseena uske jawline se behkar gardan tak pahunch raha tha.
Uski shirt poori tarah paseene se chipak chuki thi.
Pair ab bhi thakaan se halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Body itni tired thi ki bas khade rehna bhi mushkil lag raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi…
Kaafi time mein pehli baar…
Usse yeh feel nahi ho raha tha ki woh sabke saamne chhota hai.
Pehle hota toh shayad William ki awaaz sunte hi uska confidence toot jaata tha.
Woh nazrein jhuka leta tha...
Side mein dekhne lagta tha...
Ya phir andar hi andar freeze ho jaata tha....
Lekin ab…
Woh bas seedha khada raha.
Usne William ki taraf dekha bhi nahi.
Jaise uski body finally yeh maan ne lagi ho ki har baar darr kar peeche hatna zaroori nahi hota.
Uske andar heartbeat ab bhi zor-zor se gunj rahi thi.
Fight ki adrenaline (sudden energy‚rush)
abhi tak poori tarah gayi nahi thi.
Lekin us sab ke neeche..
Ek aur feeling dheere-dheere strong ho rahi thi..
Confidence.
Chhota sa
Naya.
Lekin real.
Vihaan ne dheere se apni nazar uthayi aur Selene ki aankhon mein dekha.
Selene usse quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Uski beast-like golden aankhen unusually calm thi.
Jaise woh sirf uska face nahi…
Uske andar chal raha change bhi dekh rahi ho.
Kuch seconds tak dono ki nazrein mili rahi.
Phir Vihaan ne dheere se sir hila diya.
Bas ek chhota sa nod.
Lekin us chhote se movement mein pehle se zyada confidence tha.
Pehle wala hesitant Vihaan shayad aisa simple response dene mein bhi awkward feel karta.
Lekin ab…
Usne bina jhijhak Selene ki aankhon mein dekh kar answer diya.
Jaise woh silently accept kar raha ho...
Haan.
Woh badal raha hai.
Selene ki tail ek baar dheere se hili...
Uske honton par grin aur wide ho gayi.
"Yahi dekhna chahti hoon main…"
usne almost khud se hi dheere se kaha.
Uski awaaz mein clear satisfaction tha.
Jaise finally usse class mein woh spark dikh raha ho jiska woh itne time se wait kar rahi thi.
Aas-paas khade students ke expressions aur weird ho gaye.
Kyuki honestly…
Selene normally kisi student mein itna interest dikhati hi nahi thi.
Especially Vihaan jaise student mein toh bilkul nahi.
Kuch students ab openly confused lag rahe the.
"Kya Selene seriously usse praise kar rahi hai?"
"Yeh wohi Vihaan hai na…?"
William ka expression bhi aur cold ho gaya.
Usse clearly yeh sab pasand nahi aa raha tha.
Poore hall ka attention dheere-dheere Vihaan ki taraf shift ho raha tha…
Aur shayad wahi cheez usse sabse zyada irritate kar rahi thi.
Lekin phir achanak…
Jaise Selene ko yaad aa gaya ho ki woh abhi bhi instructor hai...
uski grin dheere-dheere fade hone lagi.
Uski aankhon ki softness gayab ho gayi.
Aur uski awaaz ka tone bhi instantly serious ho gaya.
"However—"
Bas ek word.
Lekin us ek word ke saath hi poore hall ka atmosphere phir se tight ho gaya.
Students almost instinctively seedhe khade ho gaye.
Kuch logon ne toh seedha karahna bhi band kar diya.
Kyuki sabko ek cheez bahut achhi tarah pata thi...
Jab Selene iss tone mein baat karti hai…
Tab usually kuch painful hone wala hota hai....ya yun kahu ki sab ki gand tutne wali hoti hai
Selene
dheere-dheere Vihaan aur Nathan ki taraf chalne lagi.
Uske dono haath peeth ke peeche bandhe hue the.
Gym mein phir se wahi heavy silence chha gaya.
Har student ki nazar ab un teenon par tiki hui thi.
Selene ka chalne ka tareeka hi aisa tha jaise koi dangerous beast apne shikaar ko calmly observe kar raha ho.
Lekin iss baar…
Uski nazar Vihaan par rukne ka tareeka thoda alag tha.
Jaise woh usse sirf ek weak student ki tarah nahi dekh rahi ho.
Jaise woh kisi aisi cheez ko dekh rahi ho jisme potential ho.
Kisi aisi cheez ko…
Jise aur dangerous banaya ja sakta ho.
Woh Vihaan ke saamne aakar ruk gayi.
Uski sharp golden aankhen uske upar dheere-dheere ghoomi.
Uski breathing.
Uska stance.
Uske trembling arms.
Fight ke baad bhi uska khada rehna.
Sab kuch woh quietly notice kar rahi thi.
"Tumhari endurance abhi bhi poori messy hai,"
usne calmly kaha.
Vihaan ne awkwardly seedha khade rehne ki koshish ki.
Uski chest ab bhi bhaari saanson ke saath upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Running aur sparring ke baad uski body literally tootne wali feel ho rahi thi.
Lekin phir bhi…
Selene ki next line sunte hi uska focus instantly sharpen ho gaya.
"Lekin tumhare
reflexes…"
Selene ki aankhen thodi narrow hui.
Jaise woh kisi puzzle ke baare mein soch rahi ho.
"…interesting hain."
Poore hall mein phir halki si reaction hui.
"Kya?"
"Reflexes?"
"Kab se?"
Vihaan khud bhi thoda stunned sa reh gaya.
Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha kya bolna chahiye.
Uska heartbeat itna loud ho raha tha ki usse lag raha tha aas-paas ke log bhi sun lenge.
Dhak..
Dhak...
Dhak....
Fight ke dauraan sab kuch naturally hua tha.
Usne consciously itna socha bhi nahi tha.
Body bas move karti gayi.
Aur shayad wahi baat Selene ne notice kar li thi.
Vihaan ne halka sa saliva nigla.
Lekin uske muh se words properly nikle hi nahi.
Tabhi—
Selene ki nazar achanak Nathan ki taraf taraf hui.
Poora atmosphere instantly tight ho gaya.
"Aur tum."
Nathan jo ab tak awkwardly khada hone ki koshish kar raha tha, turant stiff ho gaya.
Selene ki aankhon mein ab pehle wali amusement bilkul nahi thi.
Sirf pressure tha.
"Tum ek aise insaan se haar gaye jo tumse poora ek stage neeche hai?"
Nathan ka chehra turant ugly ho gaya.
Poore class ke saamne yeh sunna obviously uske ego ko seedha hit kar raha tha.
Kuch students ne awkwardly nazrein hata li.
Kuch ne sympathy se Nathan ko dekha.
Aur kuch…
Kuch log chup-chaap Vihaan ki taraf dekhne lage.
Kyuki Selene indirectly ek aur cheez confirm kar chuki thi—
Vihaan ki jeet sirf kismat ya ek random move ki wajah se nahi hui thi.
"Par hum mana use hi nahi kar rahe the!"
Nathan ne jaldi se bola.
Uski awaaz mein frustration aur embarrassment dono mix the.
Jaise woh desperately koi excuse dhoondhne ki koshish kar raha ho taaki poore class ke saamne uski insult thodi kam ho jaaye.
Kyuki abhi-abhi jo hua tha…
Uska ego usse accept hi nahi kar paa raha tha.
Ek stage neeche wale ladke se haarna already enough embarrassing tha.
Aur ab poora class usse dekh bhi raha tha.
Lekin Selene ne uski baat sun kar bas uski taraf ek sharp aur disappointed look dala.
Bas ek look.
Aur wahi look Nathan ko aur zyada uncomfortable feel karane ke liye kaafi tha.
"Toh kya usse tumhe better feel hona chahiye?!"
Achanak Selene ki garajti hui awaaz poore gym mein gunji.
Nathan visibly jhatke se hil gaya.
Kuch students bhi instinctively seedhe khade ho gaye.
"GET UP, BOY!"
Uski awaaz itni loud thi ki gym ki hawa tak heavy feel hone lagi.
Nathan ne turant daant bhinch liye.
Uska chehra irritation aur embarrassment se laal pad raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi usne jaldi se mat par haath rakha aur khud ko upar uthaya.
Uski body language clearly dikh rahi thi..
Uska ego buri tarah hurt hua tha.
Selene ek kadam aur aage badhi.
Uski sharp golden aankhen seedha Nathan par tiki hui thi.
"Ek aur ghanta!"
Nathan ki aankhen halki si phail gayi.
Clearly usse laga tha punishment khatam ho gayi.
Lekin Selene ki next line ne uska poora mood tod diya.
"GET UP AND RUN!"
Poore class mein almost ek collective dard bhari reaction phail gayi.
"Khatam…..mai kya bolta hun iski yehi pe Kabra (coffin) banegi lagta hai "
Haa muze bhi laga raha ...
"Bechara mar jayega."
"Main hota toh wahi gir
jaata."
Kuch students ne sympathy se Nathan ko dekha.
Kuch secretly hass bhi rahe the.
Nathan ne irritate hokar daant aur zor se bhinch liye.
Ek second ke liye uski nazar Vihaan par gayi.
Us glare mein frustration clearly thi.
Jaise woh andar hi andar aur zyada jal raha ho ki yeh sab uski wajah se ho raha hai.
Lekin Selene ke saamne argue karne ki himmat usme nahi thi.
Toh usne bas irritated sa saans chhoda…
Aur phir bhaagna start kar diya.
Uske heavy footsteps poore gym mein gunjne lage.
Uski body already exhausted thi, aur ab usse extra punishment bhi mil gaya tha.
Selene ne usse kuch seconds tak dekha.
Phir woh seedhi khadi hui aur poore class ki taraf mud gayi.
Uski tail ek baar dheere se peeche hili.
Aur phir uski awaaz dobara poore hall mein gunji...
"Baaki sab!"
Students almost instantly alert ho gaye.
"Partners switch karo!"
Poore hall mein ek saath thake hue groans gunj uthe.
"Phir se?!"
"Lagata hai aaj sach mein meri kabra (Coffin) idhar hi banegi aaj…"
"Yeh humein zinda nahi chhodana chahti hai."
Students ki toot chuki awaazein har taraf se aa rahi thi.
Kisi ke pair properly stable nahi the.
Kisi ke haath kaanp rahe the.
Kuch log toh bas khade rehne ke liye struggle kar rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi…
Koi bhi apni jagah zyada der tak rukne ki himmat nahi kar raha tha.
Kyuki academy mein sabko ek baat bahut achhi tarah pata thi...
Selene ko ignore karna ya uska order delay karna matlab aur zyada suffering invite karna.
Isliye poora class jaldi -jaldi naye partners switch karne laga.
Vihaan ne abhi properly apni breathing control karni bhi start nahi ki thi.
Uski chest ab bhi bhaari lag rahi thi.
Har breath garam aur rough thi.
Body running aur sparring dono ki wajah se jal rahi thi.
Uske muscles literally scream kar rahe the rest ke liye.
Lekin usse barely kuch seconds ka break mila tha.
Tabhi...
Ek shadow uske saamne aa kar ruk gayi.
"Tum mere saath."
Vihaan ne thoda sir uthaaya aur dekha....
(Note mega chapter hai aaram se padhna ....)
═════✧──✧──✧════
Woh ek second mein side mein hata, aur nathan ka punch hawa mein nikal gaya.
Usi moment Vihaan neeche jhuka aur usne Nathan ke pair ko neeche se sweep kar diya.
Nathan ka balance turant toot gaya..
"Shit—!"
Nathan ka balance poori tarah hil gaya.
Woh ladkhadaate hue aage ki taraf girne laga.
Uske pair mat par awkwardly ghise, jaise woh last second par khud ko sambhalne ki koshish kar raha ho…
Lekin body ne saath nahi diya.
Agla hi second
Thap!
Uska ek ghutna zor se mat se takraya.
Face ke bal seedha girne se bachne ke liye usne turant dono haath aage tikaye.
Yeh kya hua abhi ?
Isa Trash ne Nathan ke waar ko Sweep kar diya?... kaise ?
Kaise ho sakata hai yeh... ?
Kisi ne dhire se bola
Uske haath zor se mat par lage aur woh mushkil se apna muh zameen pe lagne se bacha paaya.
Ek pal ke liye uski saans
(Breath) hi atak gayi.
Uski aankhen shock se thodi badi ho gayi thi.
Jaise usse samajh hi nahi aa raha ho ki abhi hua kya tha.
Tabhi Selene ki tez aur sakht awaaz unki fight ke beech gunji.
"Good move, Vihaan!"
Usne zor se kaha.
"Attack karke ruk mat jao Vihaan!
Pressure maintain rakho—poora follow karo!"
Uski awaaz seedha Vihaan ke andar tak jaake lagi.
Jaise uske andar kuch achanak activate ho gaya ho.
Ek second pehle tak uski body sirf thakaan, dard aur bhaari saanson (breathing)se bhari hui thi…
Lekin ab uska focus achanak aur sharp ho gaya.
Uski aankhen seedha Nathan par tik gayi.
Us moment mein usse na gym ki awaaz properly sunai de rahi thi…
Na aas-paas chal rahi fights....
Sirf saamne khada opponent dikh raha tha.
Sirf next move
Sirf fight
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari thi.
Paseena ab bhi uske chehre se beh
raha tha.
Pair ab bhi dard kar rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi uska sharir pehle se zyada fast react kar raha tha.
Jaise body dheere-dheere fight ke rhythm mein aa rahi ho.
Nathan ne jaldi se khud ko sambhala aur wapas khada ho gaya, lekin uske chehre par irritation clearly dikh raha tha.
Usse bilkul expect nahi tha ki Vihaan uske attack ko itni clean timing se counter karega.
Aur sabse badi baat…
Vihaan ko yeh tak nahi pata tha ki poori class usse dekh rahi thi...
Kuch students apni fights continue karte hue side se baar-baar uski taraf nazar daal rahe the.
Kuch log toh literally apne attacks slow karke un dono ko observe karne lage the.
Aur kuch ne toh practice karna almost stop hi kar diya tha.
Kyuki unke saamne jo ladka fight kar raha tha…
Woh wahi trash Vihaan tha jo pehle running ke waqt sabse pehle tootne lagta tha.
Wahi ladka jo class mein almost Gayab (invisible) rehta tha.
Jise log weak
samajh kar ignore kar dete the.
Aur ab…
Usne Nathan jaise ladke ka attack perfectly read karke uska balance bigaad diya tha.
Nathan ne daant itni zor se bhinche ki uske jaw ki muscles tak tight dikhne lagi.
Usne gusse mein mat par tikka haath hataya aur jaldi se khud ko wapas khada kiya.
Uska chehra irritation aur embarrassment se bhar chuka tha.
Aas-paas ke students ki nazrein uspar pad chuki thi…
aur shayad wahi baat usse aur zyada chubh rahi thi.
"Lucky shot…"
usne dheere se gusse mein budbudaaya, jaise khud ko convince karne ki koshish kar raha ho ki abhi jo hua woh bas ek accident tha.
Lekin uski aankhon mein ab pehle wali casual smile nahi thi.
Ab wahan frustration tha.
Gussa tha.
Agla hi second woh phir se Vihaan ki taraf jhapta.
Iss baar uske moves pehle se zyada rough lag rahe the.
Jaise woh bas kisi bhi tarah Vihaan ko hit karna chahta ho.
Usne poori body ghuma kar ek heavy punch seedha Vihaan ke jaw ki taraf maara.
Attack itna achanak aur tez tha ki aas-paas khade kuch students ki saans tak ruk gayi.
"Oiiii—!"
Lekin Vihaan ka sharir usse pehle hi move kar chuka tha.
Uska dimaag properly soch bhi nahi paaya.
Body almost instinct se react kar rahi thi.
Woh turant neeche jhuk gaya.
Nathan ka punch uske sir ke bilkul upar se hawa cheerta hua nikal gaya.
Us swing ki tez hawa tak Vihaan ke baalon ko hila gayi.
Ek second ki bhi deri hoti…
Toh woh punch seedha uske face par lagta.
Nathan ki aankhen ek pal ke liye shock se phail gayi.
Usse clearly expect nahi tha ki Vihaan itni clean timing se us attack se bach jayega.
Dusri taraf Vihaan khud bhi apni heartbeat ko zor-zor se mehsoos kar raha tha.
Uski saansein ab aur bhaari ho chuki thi.
Paseena gardan se behkar shirt mein soak ho raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi…
Uska focus toot nahi raha tha.
Us moment mein uska sharir sirf ek cheez kar raha tha....
Survive
Vihaan khud properly samajh bhi nahi paaya ki usne move kab kiya.
Uska sharir bas apne aap react kar gaya.
Jab Nathan ka punch uske upar se nikla, usi moment Vihaan ka haath neeche se seedha upar ki taraf gaya.
Thud!
Uska mukka seedha Nathan ke pet mein jaake laga.
"Ugh—!"
Nathan ke muh se dard bhari awaaz nikli.
Uski saans ek second mein toot gayi.
Uska sharir turant aage ki taraf jhuk gaya, jaise pet se saari hawa ek hi hit mein bahar nikal gayi ho.
Woh do-teen kadam ladkhadaate hue peeche hata.
Uski aankhen shock se phail chuki thi.
Jaise usse yakeen hi nahi ho raha ho ki Vihaan ka punch itna solid lagega.
Phir uske pair jawab de gaye.
Woh seedha mat par gir pada aur dono haathon se apna stomach pakad liya.
"Haa… khh…!"
Woh properly saans lene ki koshish kar raha tha, lekin har breath toot rahi thi.
Aas-paas khade kuch students ki aankhen thodi badi ho gayi.
"Kya usne Nathan ko gira diya?"
"Vihaan ne…?"
"Kaise ho sakta hai yeh?"
Kisi ko expect nahi tha ki usually quiet rehne wala Vihaan itni clean timing se counter karega.
Aur sabse zyada shocked toh khud Vihaan tha.
Uska haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp raha tha.
Uski saansein bhaari thi.
Lekin uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si feeling uth rahi thi.
Jaise pehli baar…
Woh helpless nahi tha.
Vihaan chahta toh wahi ruk sakta tha.
Nathan already properly saans bhi nahi le paa raha tha.
Lekin us moment mein…
Uske andar kuch click hua.
Jaise uska sharir ab peeche hatna bhool gaya ho.
Jaise itne saalon ka daba hua gussa, helplessness aur frustration uske moves mein nikalne laga ho.
Nathan abhi bhi apna stomach pakad kar sambhalne ki koshish kar hi raha tha ki Vihaan aage badha.
Usne apna ghutna seedha Nathan ke chest mein maara.
Thud!
Hit itna strong nahi tha ki serious damage kare…
Lekin enough tha uska balance poori tarah todne ke liye.
Nathan seedha peeche ki taraf ladkhadaate hue gira aur zor se mat par jaa (spread) phaila..
"Ughh—!"
Uske muh se dard bhari karah nikli.
Kuch students ki aankhen aur badi ho gayi.
"Kya… Vihaan dominate kar raha hai?"
"Nathan toh poora neeche chala gaya…"
Nathan mat par phela hua bhaari saansein le raha tha.
Dusri taraf Vihaan uske upar khada tha.
Uski chest tez-tez uth aur gir rahi thi.
Paseena uske chin se tapak raha tha.
Body ab bhi kaanp rahi thi…
Lekin uski aankhon mein pehle wali weak hesitation nahi thi.
Usne bhaari saans lete hue dheere se kaha....
"Give up."
Nathan ne irritate hokar aankhen band ki aur dard se karaha.
"Ugh… theek hai…"
usne toot-ti hui saans ke saath kaha.
"Tu jeet gaya."
Fight khatam ho chuki thi.
Nathan ab bhi mat par pada bhaari saansein le raha tha, ek haath chest par aur doosra stomach par rakhe hue.
Dusri taraf Vihaan wahi khada tha.
Uski chest lagataar tez-tez upar neeche ho rahi thi.
Har saans bhaari thi..
Paseena uski chin se tapak kar mat par gir raha tha.
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Poora sharir training aur fight ki thakaan se jal raha tha…
Lekin phir bhi woh gira nahi.
Woh bas khada raha.
Ek pal ke liye usse samajh hi nahi aaya ki usse feel kya karna chahiye.
Uske andar ajeeb si mixed feelings chal rahi thi.
Ek taraf uske andar halki si jeet wali feeling uth rahi thi.
Nathan jaise ladke ko itne clean tareeke se harana…
Yeh pehle wala Vihaan imagine bhi nahi kar sakta tha.
Lekin saath hi confusion bhi tha.
Kyuki fight ke dauraan jo hua…
Woh uske liye bhi normal nahi tha.
Uske moves pehle se zyada smooth lag rahe the.
Zyada clean.
Aur zyada fast.
Aur sabse ajeeb baat…
Usne properly soch kar kuch kiya hi nahi tha.
Nathan attack karta…
Aur uski body already react kar leti.
Side step
Counter
Timing
Sab kuch almost naturally flow ho raha tha.
Jaise uska sharir khud fight kar raha ho.
Jaise muscles aur instincts uske dimaag se pehle decide kar rahe ho kya karna hai.
Usse clearly mehsoos ho raha tha ki kuch badal raha hai.
Sirf uski strength nahi…
Uska poora body control.
Nathan ke mat par girte hi…
Ek heartbeat ke liye poora gym bilkul chup ho gaya.
Aisi khamoshi jaise kisi ne achanak saari awaaz kheench li ho.
Na complaints.
Na fighting ki awaazein.
Na Selene ki daant.
Sirf students ki bhaari saansein gunj rahi thi.
Aur un sabki nazrein…
Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Kuch students shock mein the.
Kuch confuse.
Aur kuch ke chehron par clearly disbelief dikh raha tha.
Kyuki unke saamne jo ladka khada tha..
Woh wahi Vihaan tha jise woh hamesha weak samajhte aaye the.
Sirf chup nahi…
Aisi khamoshi chha gayi thi jaise poora hall ek pal ke liye saans lena hi bhool gaya ho.
Har taraf bas bhaari saanson ki halki awaaz thi.
Students thakaan se poori tarah toot chuke the.
Kisi ke baal paseene se chipak gaye the, kisi ke haath ab bhi kaanp rahe the, aur kai logon ki aankhen exhaustion ki wajah se properly focus bhi nahi kar paa rahi thi.
Lekin us moment mein…
Sabki nazrein sirf ek hi insaan par tiki hui thi.
Vihaan Drayke
Wahi Vihaan…
Jisne academy aane ke baad ek bhi spar properly nahi jeeta tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo kisi ki tez awaaz sunte hi instinctively peeche hat jaata tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jise dekh kar log ya toh mazaak udaate the…
ya ignore kar dete the...
Jo training ke waqt sabse pehle tootne lagta tha.
Jo hamesha weak lagta tha.
Aur ab…
Wahi ladka Nathan ko mat par gira kar uske upar khada tha.
Kuch students ke chehron par avishwas (disbelief) saaf dikh raha tha.
Jaise unka dimaag accept hi nahi kar paa raha ho ki abhi jo hua woh real tha.
"Ye… Vihaan tha na?"
"Nathan seriously haar gaya?"
"Kab se yeh itna fast move karne laga?"
Halki-halki fusfusaahat poore hall mein phailne lagi.
Lekin Vihaan ko woh sab properly sunai bhi nahi de raha tha.
Uske kaano mein ab bhi apni heartbeat gunj rahi thi.
Dhak..
Dhak...
Dhak....
Dhak.....
Uski body ab bhi thakaan aur adrenaline(energy‚rush) se bhar chuki thi.
Lekin andar kahin…
Ek cheez dheere-dheere badal rahi thi.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo William ki sirf ek thandi nazar padte hi chup ho jaata tha.
Jo uske saamne aate hi instinctively peeche hatne lagta tha.
Jiske chehre par hamesha hesitation
(Hichkichahat) aur darr saaf dikh jaata tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo class ke saamne kabhi properly awaaz tak nahi uthata tha.
Aur ab…
Wahi ladka iss waqt sabke saamne khada tha.
Uski chest bhaari saanson ke saath lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Har breath toot rahi thi.
Paseena uske jawline se behkar neeche tapak raha tha.
Uski shirt poori tarah paseene se chipak chuki thi.
Body ab bhi training aur fight ki thakaan se jal rahi thi…
Lekin phir bhi woh gira nahi.
Woh bas seedha khada raha.
Aur Nathan…
Nathan mat par pada hua tha.
Ek haath stomach par rakhe hue woh properly saans lene ki koshish kar raha tha.
Uska chehra irritation aur avishwas (disbelief) se bhar chuka tha.
Jaise usse abhi tak yakeen hi na ho ki woh Vihaan se haar gaya.
Poore gym ka atmosphere ajeeb sa ho gaya tha.
Kisi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha react kaise kare.
Jaise sabke dimaag ek hi point par jaake atak gaye ho.
'Yeh… kab hua?'
Students ke dimaag mein ek saath dozens of thoughts daudne lage.
"Nahi… yeh same Vihaan nahi lag raha."
"Isse pehle toh woh running mein barely tik pa ta tha…"
"Usne Nathan ka attack itni clean timing se kaise read kiya?"
"Uske movements pehle itne fast nahi the."
"Kya woh secretly training kar raha tha?"
"Kab se?"
Kuch students confusion mein ek dusre ko dekh rahe the.
Kuch ab bhi disbelief mein Vihaan aur Nathan ke beech nazar ghuma rahe the.
Aur kuch ke chehron par clearly uneasiness (bechaini)dikhne lagi thi.
Kyuki unhone pehli baar Vihaan ko weak nahi dekha tha.
Unhone pehli baar usse kisi ko dominate karte dekha tha.
Poore hall mein halki fusfusaahat dheere-dheere phailne lagi.
Lekin us sab ke beech Vihaan ko woh awaazein properly sunai bhi nahi de rahi thi.
Uske kaano mein bas apni heartbeat gunj rahi thi.
Dhak.
Dhak..
Dhak…
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Body ab bhi dard kar rahi thi.
Lekin uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si feeling dheere-dheere ubhar rahi thi.
Jaise pehli baar..
Woh sach mein badal raha ho.
"Kya Vihaan ne seriously Nathan ko hara diya…?"
"Nahi… impossible."
"Par sabne dekha na…"
"Woh itna fast move kaise kar raha tha?"
"Uska timing dekha tune?"
"Woh luck nahi tha…
bilkul bhi nahi."
"Kya yeh ab bhi wahi purana Trash hai?"
Halki-halki fusfusaahat dheere-dheere poore gym mein phail gayi thi.
Students ab openly apas mein baat karne lage the.
Kisi ke chehre par shock tha.
Kisi ke expression mein confusion.
Aur kuch log toh bas chup-chaap Vihaan ko dekh rahe the, jaise abhi bhi unka dimaag samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho ki unhone abhi kya dekha.
Nathan jaise ladke ko harana academy mein koi normal baat nahi thi.
Especially Vihaan ke liye.
Kyuki ab tak Vihaan ka naam strength ke saath kabhi joda hi nahi gaya tha.
Woh hamesha weak side par khada dikhta tha.
Hamesha pressure mein.
Hamesha peeche.
Lekin abhi…
Abhi usne Nathan ko cleanly counter kiya tha.
Attack dodge kiya.
Timing read ki.
Aur phir usse seedha mat par gira diya.
Aur yeh sab kisi desperate lucky hit jaisa nahi laga.
Uske moves rough hone ke baad bhi natural lag rahe the.
Jaise uski body suddenly fight samajhne lagi ho.
Nathan ab bhi mat par baitha hua tha, ek haath stomach par rakhe hue.
Uski saansein ab tak heavy chal rahi thi.
Kabhi-kabhi woh pain se halka sa muh bhi sikod raha tha.
Lekin uski aankhen…
Uski aankhen sirf Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Aisi nazar se jaise woh usse pehchaan hi nahi paa raha ho.
Jaise uske saamne khada ladka woh same quiet aur weak Vihaan tha hi nahi jise woh roz dekhte aaye the.
Uske chehre par irritation ab bhi tha…
Lekin us irritation ke peeche ek aur cheez bhi clearly thi.
Uneasiness (Bechaini)
Kyuki fight ke dauraan ek moment ke liye bhi usse feel nahi hua tha ki Vihaan panic kar raha hai.
Aur wahi baat sabse zyada unsettling thi.
Dusri taraf Vihaan khud bhi andar se utna hi confused tha jitna baaki sab.
Uski saansein (breathing )ab bhi bhaari thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho raha tha.
Paseena jawline se behkar gardan tak pahunch raha tha.
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the fight aur exhaustion ki wajah se.
Lekin phir bhi…
Uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si warmth uth rahi thi.
Ek feeling jo usne kaafi time se mehsoos nahi ki thi.
Control
Fight ke dauraan usse ek bhi baar woh purani helplessness feel nahi hui thi.
Na woh panic...
Na woh darr jo usually William ya kisi strong student ke saamne aate hi uske andar bhar jaata tha.
Aaj uski body freeze nahi hui.
Aaj usne peeche hatne ke bajaye react kiya.
Fight ki.
Aur jeeta.
Vihaan clearly mehsoos kar sakta tha ki sabki nazrein uspar tiki hui hain.
Lekin aaj un nazron mein woh usual mazaak nahi tha.
Na pity.
Na disrespect.
Aaj log usse alag tarah se dekh rahe the.
Confused.
Careful.
Hesitant.
Jaise poora class ek hi baat silently realize kar raha ho..
Vihaan badal raha tha.
Yeh change bahut subtle tha.
Bahut chhota.
Lekin itna clear tha ki ignore nahi kiya ja sakta tha.
Poore gym ka atmosphere pehle jaisa nahi raha tha.
Aur sabse scary baat yeh thi…
Kisi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki yeh change exactly kab start hua.
Lekin ek baat sabko yaad thi.
Woh kuch ghante…
Jab dungeon incident ke baad poore class ko laga tha ki Vihaan mar chuka hai.
Uske baad se…
Woh pehle jaisa nahi raha tha.
Vihaan ab pehle jaisa weak nahi raha tha...
Yeh baat ab sirf usse mehsoos nahi ho rahi thi…
Poora class us change ko feel kar raha tha.
Uske andar kuch badal gaya tha.
Kuch subtle.
Kuch aisa jo words mein properly explain nahi kiya ja sakta tha…
lekin ignore bhi nahi kiya ja sakta tha.
Fight ke dauraan uska move karna pehle se alag tha.
Uska timing.
Uska react karna.
Uska pressure mein panic na karna.
Sab kuch different lag raha tha.
Kitna different?
Yeh kisi ko nahi pata tha.
Shayad khud Vihaan ko bhi nahi.
Lekin ek baat sabko clearly feel ho rahi thi.
Woh ab wahi helpless Vihaan nahi tha jise sab easily daba dete the.
Poore gym mein halki fusfusaahat phail gayi thi.
Students ke chehron par confusion aur disbelief mix ho chuka tha.
Kyuki jo unhone abhi dekha tha…
Woh unke purane image of Vihaan se match hi nahi karta tha.
Gym ke ek side par William bhi apni sparring ke beech ruk gaya tha.
Uska opponent awkwardly peeche khada tha, lekin William ki nazar tab se Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Poore hall ka attention Vihaan ki taraf jaana usse clearly pasand nahi aa raha tha.
Phir usne achanak zor se naak se hansi nikali.
"Tch."
Usne shoulders roll kiye aur casual expression ke saath bola
"Zyada excited mat ho jao."
Uski awaaz poore hall mein clearly gunji.
"Yahan kuch bhi special nahi hua hai."
Poora class phir se chup ho gaya.
William ne Nathan ki taraf dekha jo ab tak mat par baitha apna stomach pakde hue heavy breaths le raha tha.
Phir uski nazar wapas Vihaan par gayi.
"Bas Nathan careless ho gaya tha,"
usne dismissive tone mein kaha.
"Aur tum log usse unnecessarily bada bana rahe ho."
Kuch students awkwardly ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
Kisi ne kuch bola nahi.
Kyuki William academy ke strongest students mein se ek tha.
Uske against openly bolne ki himmat usually kisi mein nahi hoti thi.
Lekin iss baar…
Uske words ke baad bhi atmosphere pehle jaisa nahi hua.
Kyuki sabne apni aankhon se dekha tha ki fight mein kya hua.
Unhone dekha tha Vihaan ka dodge.
Uska counter.
Uska confidence.
Aur sabse important...
Unhone pehli baar Vihaan ko kisi ke saamne freeze hote hue nahi dekha tha.
William ne bilkul casually apna angutha Nathan ki taraf kiya.
"Nathan Weak Chutiya Hai ....
Jo Ek Trash Se Hara Gaya."
Uski awaaz itni seedhi aur thandi thi ki ek second ke liye Nathan ka chehra aur zyada ugly ho gaya.
Lekin William ruka nahi.
Agle hi pal usne seedha ungli Vihaan ki taraf kar di.
Uski aankhon mein wahi purana contempt tha.
Wahi zeher bhari nazar.
"Aur woh trash bhi weak chutiya hai."
Poora hall ekdum chup ho gaya.
William ki awaaz dheemi thi…
lekin har word clearly sunai de raha tha.
"Weak logon ki fight ka result celebrate karne layak nahi hota....woh bhi isa jaise trash ka "
Teri Gand mei bohot khujli ho rahi hai na chutiye rukk ja tu thoda wait kar le ....achee se gand marunga teri mai .... bohot uda raha hai na khud pe bohot garv hai na tuze ....sabka return milega tuze bass thoda sa wait kar le....
(Vihaan ne man mai bola)
Uske words hawa mein zeher ki tarah phail gaye.
Kuch students uncomfortable ho gaye.
Kuch ne awkwardly nazrein hata li.
Lekin kuch log clearly convince bhi nahi lag rahe the.
Kyuki chahe William kuch bhi bole…
Sabne dekha tha ki Vihaan ne kya kiya tha.
William ne yeh hesitation notice kar li.
Aur shayad wahi baat uske ego ko aur irritate kar gayi.
Usne dheere se dono haath spread kiye, jaise poore hall ka attention naturally uspar belong karta ho.
Uske chehre par arrogant smile aa gayi.
"Agar tum logon ko real fight dekhni hai…"
usne confidence se bhari awaaz mein kaha,
"…toh mujhe dekho."
Uski tone mein itna confidence tha jaise result already decided hogaya ho.
Jaise uske liye baaki sab sirf background characters ho.
Poore gym ka atmosphere phir se tight ho gaya.
Kuch students instantly excited lagne lage.
Kuch nervous.
Aur kuch ki nazrein automatically Vihaan aur William ke beech shift hone lagi.
Kyuki sabko pata tha...
William ka ego kabhi kisi aur ko spotlight lene nahi deta tha.
"Bass....Bahut ho gaya tum logonka ."
Selene ki tez aur thandi awaaz achanak poore hall mein gunji.
Uski tone itni sharp thi ki William ke agle words literally uske muh mein hi ruk gaye.
(Jaise kisine uske muh mai lund de diya ho ...)
Jaise kisi ne ek second mein poore gym ki hawa kaat di ho.
Poora hall turant chup ho gaya.
William ka expression instantly stiff ho gaya.
Uske jaw ki muscles tight ho gayi aur aankhon mein irritation saaf chamak uthi.
Clearly usse pasand nahi aaya tha ki usse sabke saamne beech mein roka gaya.
Especially tab…
Jab poore class ka attention uspar tha.
Ek second ke liye laga jaise woh kuch bolne wala hai.
Uski aankhen halki si narrow hui.
Lekin phir usne khud ko rok liya.
Kyuki academy mein ek cheez sabko pata thi...
Selene ke saamne zyada attitude dikhana dangerous ho sakta tha.
Kyuki woh uska attitude usi ke gand mai dal deti...
William strong tha.
Bahut strong.
Lekin even he knew better than to openly argue with her.
Usne bas halki si irritated saans chhodi aur neck side mein ghuma li.
"Tch."
Uski annoyance clearly visible thi.
Lekin woh chup raha.
Poore hall mein ajeeb si silence phail gayi.
Kuch students secretly relieved lag rahe the.
William ka rant aur insults already atmosphere ko kaafi uncomfortable bana chuke the.
Aur honestly…
Kaafi logon ko yeh bhi feel ho raha tha ki William unnecessarily defensive ho raha tha.
Jaise usse Vihaan ko attention milna bilkul pasand nahi aa raha ho.
Selene ne William ko kuch aur seconds tak dekha.
Phir uski nazar dheere se Vihaan ki taraf gayi.
Uski tail ek baar halki si hili.
Ek chhota sa movement.
Lekin us movement mein amusement clearly tha.
Jaise usse poora scene interesting lag raha ho.
Phir dheere se uske honton par ek chhoti si smile ubhri.
Aur woh smile dekh kar kuch students ke expressions aur zyada surprise mein badal gaye.
Kyuki woh Selene ki usual smile nahi thi.
Na mocking.
Na cruel.
Na woh dangerous grin jo training ke waqt aati thi jab woh kisi ko torture karne wali hoti thi.
Yeh different thi.
Soft.
Real.
Genuine.
Aur shayad isi wajah se woh itni shocking lag rahi thi.
Selene kuch seconds tak bas Vihaan ko dekhti rahi.
Uski sharp beast-like aankhen usse quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Jaise woh uske andar aaye har chhote change ko notice kar chuki ho.
Uska movement.
Uska reaction speed.
Uska focus.
Uska pressure mein panic na karna.
Sab kuch.
Baaki students shayad abhi confused the…
Lekin Selene clearly samajh gayi thi ki abhi jo hua woh sirf ek lucky exchange nahi tha.
Vihaan ki body genuinely change ho rahi thi.
Aur sabse interesting baat yeh thi ki…
Vihaan khud shayad abhi tak yeh poori tarah realize bhi nahi kar paaya tha.
"Uski baaton par dhyaan mat do."
Selene ki awaaz iss baar pehle se kaafi calm thi.
Warm bhi.
Lekin us warmth ke andar ek aisa firmness tha jo seedha dil tak feel ho raha tha.
Poore hall mein phaili tension ek pal ke liye halki si shift hui.
William ne side se irritate hokar naak se saans chhodi, lekin Selene ne uski taraf dekha tak nahi.
Uski poori attention ab sirf Vihaan par thi.
"Tum improve hue ho,"
usne seedha kaha.
Uski awaaz mein bilkul bhi mazaak ya exaggeration nahi tha.
Pure honesty thi.
"Aur jitna improve hue ho…"
uski aankhen thodi aur sharp ho gayi,
…utna honestly kisi ne expect bhi nahi kiya tha."
Poora hall phir se dheere-dheere fusfusane laga.
Students ke expressions aur zyada complicated ho gaye.
Kyuki academy mein ek cheez sabko pata thi..
Selene compliments waste nahi karti.
Woh unnecessarily kisi ko praise nahi karti thi.
Agar woh kisi ki tareef kar rahi hai…
Toh uske peeche actual reason hota hai.
Aur iss waqt woh openly Vihaan ki improvement acknowledge kar rahi thi.
Yeh cheez hi kaafi shocking thi.
Vihaan khud bhi kuch seconds tak bas usse dekhta raha.
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari chal rahi thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Fight aur training ki wajah se uske muscles ab bhi jal rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi…
Selene ke words uske andar ajeeb tareeke se hit kar rahe the.
Kyuki academy aane ke baad shayad yeh pehli baar tha…
Jab kisi ne uski weakness ke bajaye uski growth notice ki thi.
Selene dheere se uske aur paas aayi.
Uski beast-like golden aankhen Vihaan ko quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Jaise woh uski skin ke neeche chal raha har change feel kar pa rahi ho.
Jaise woh samajhne ki koshish kar rahi ho ki exactly kya badla hai.
" Mujhe nahi pata tum kitne time se khud ko train kar rahe ho…"
usne dheere lekin clearly kaha.
"Ya phir tum pehle apni strength intentionally hide kar rahe the."
Students ke beech turant reactions aaye.
"Kya woh secretly train karta tha?"
"Par kab?"
"Mujhe toh kabhi notice nahi hua…"
Honestly, ab kaafi logon ko bhi wahi lagne laga tha.
Kyuki jo Vihaan aaj fight kar raha tha…
Woh pehle wala Vihaan bilkul nahi lag raha tha.
Uska movement alag tha.
Uska focus alag tha.
Sabse important
Aaj woh pressure mein toot nahi raha tha.
Selene ki tail ek baar dheere se hili.
"Lekin ek baat clear hai,"
usne continue kiya apni baat ko ....
"Agar tum isi tarah continue karte rahe…"
Uski aankhen seedha Vihaan ki aankhon mein tik gayi.
"…toh bahut jaldi baaki class ko catch up kar loge."
Poore hall mein iss baar pehle se zyada strong reaction hua.
"Kya?!"
"Selene seriously yeh bol rahi hai?"
"Matlab Vihaan itna improve kar sakta hai?"
Shock students ke faces par clearly dikh raha tha.
Kuch log ab bhi doubtful the.
Kuch uncomfortable.
Lekin ek cheez jo dheere-dheere atmosphere mein ub
har rahi thi…
Woh thi respect.
Chhoti si.
Subtle.
Lekin real.
Pehli baar students Vihaan ko sirf weak ya pitiful nazar se nahi dekh rahe the.
Ab woh usse seriously notice kar rahe the.
Jaise unke dimaag mein uski image dheere-dheere change ho rahi ho.
Aur yeh change sirf students mein nahi tha.
Nathan bhi ab chup-chaap Vihaan ko dekh raha tha.
William ka expression bhi pehle se zyada cold ho gaya tha.
Kyuki chahe woh accept kare ya nahi…
Sabko feel ho raha tha ki kuch badal gaya hai.
Aur shayad sabse zyada confusing baat yeh thi...
Vihaan khud bhi andar se yeh change clearly mehsoos kar raha tha.
Fight ke dauraan uska sharir naturally move kar raha tha.
Jaise uski body ko pehle se pata ho kya karna hai.
Jaise uske andar koi locked cheez dheere-dheere jag rahi ho.
Usse ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki exactly kya ho raha hai.
Lekin ek baat woh bhi deny nahi kar sakta tha.
Woh ab pehle wala Vihaan nahi raha tha.
"Tch... Jaise yeh kabhi hum tak pahunch paayega."
William ne yeh baat itni dheemi awaaz mein boli jaise woh bas khud se hi baat kar raha ho.
Lekin uski tone mein bhara hua zeher phir bhi clearly mehsoos ho raha tha.
Vihaan ki itani improvement dekh ke uski gand jal rahi thi ....
Uski nazar ab bhi Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Cold.
Neecha dikhane wali.
Jaise woh poore class ko yaad dilana chahta ho ki unke beech ab bhi kitna bada difference hai.
Jaise Vihaan ka yeh ek win uske liye kuch matter hi nahi karta.
Lekin iss baar…
Vihaan ne nazrein nahi churayi.
Woh wahi khada raha.
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari chal rahi thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Paseena uske jawline se behkar gardan tak pahunch raha tha.
Uski shirt poori tarah paseene se chipak chuki thi.
Pair ab bhi thakaan se halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Body itni tired thi ki bas khade rehna bhi mushkil lag raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi…
Kaafi time mein pehli baar…
Usse yeh feel nahi ho raha tha ki woh sabke saamne chhota hai.
Pehle hota toh shayad William ki awaaz sunte hi uska confidence toot jaata tha.
Woh nazrein jhuka leta tha...
Side mein dekhne lagta tha...
Ya phir andar hi andar freeze ho jaata tha....
Lekin ab…
Woh bas seedha khada raha.
Usne William ki taraf dekha bhi nahi.
Jaise uski body finally yeh maan ne lagi ho ki har baar darr kar peeche hatna zaroori nahi hota.
Uske andar heartbeat ab bhi zor-zor se gunj rahi thi.
Fight ki adrenaline (sudden energy‚rush)
abhi tak poori tarah gayi nahi thi.
Lekin us sab ke neeche..
Ek aur feeling dheere-dheere strong ho rahi thi..
Confidence.
Chhota sa
Naya.
Lekin real.
Vihaan ne dheere se apni nazar uthayi aur Selene ki aankhon mein dekha.
Selene usse quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Uski beast-like golden aankhen unusually calm thi.
Jaise woh sirf uska face nahi…
Uske andar chal raha change bhi dekh rahi ho.
Kuch seconds tak dono ki nazrein mili rahi.
Phir Vihaan ne dheere se sir hila diya.
Bas ek chhota sa nod.
Lekin us chhote se movement mein pehle se zyada confidence tha.
Pehle wala hesitant Vihaan shayad aisa simple response dene mein bhi awkward feel karta.
Lekin ab…
Usne bina jhijhak Selene ki aankhon mein dekh kar answer diya.
Jaise woh silently accept kar raha ho...
Haan.
Woh badal raha hai.
Selene ki tail ek baar dheere se hili...
Uske honton par grin aur wide ho gayi.
"Yahi dekhna chahti hoon main…"
usne almost khud se hi dheere se kaha.
Uski awaaz mein clear satisfaction tha.
Jaise finally usse class mein woh spark dikh raha ho jiska woh itne time se wait kar rahi thi.
Aas-paas khade students ke expressions aur weird ho gaye.
Kyuki honestly…
Selene normally kisi student mein itna interest dikhati hi nahi thi.
Especially Vihaan jaise student mein toh bilkul nahi.
Kuch students ab openly confused lag rahe the.
"Kya Selene seriously usse praise kar rahi hai?"
"Yeh wohi Vihaan hai na…?"
William ka expression bhi aur cold ho gaya.
Usse clearly yeh sab pasand nahi aa raha tha.
Poore hall ka attention dheere-dheere Vihaan ki taraf shift ho raha tha…
Aur shayad wahi cheez usse sabse zyada irritate kar rahi thi.
Lekin phir achanak…
Jaise Selene ko yaad aa gaya ho ki woh abhi bhi instructor hai...
uski grin dheere-dheere fade hone lagi.
Uski aankhon ki softness gayab ho gayi.
Aur uski awaaz ka tone bhi instantly serious ho gaya.
"However—"
Bas ek word.
Lekin us ek word ke saath hi poore hall ka atmosphere phir se tight ho gaya.
Students almost instinctively seedhe khade ho gaye.
Kuch logon ne toh seedha karahna bhi band kar diya.
Kyuki sabko ek cheez bahut achhi tarah pata thi...
Jab Selene iss tone mein baat karti hai…
Tab usually kuch painful hone wala hota hai....ya yun kahu ki sab ki gand tutne wali hoti hai
Selene
dheere-dheere Vihaan aur Nathan ki taraf chalne lagi.
Uske dono haath peeth ke peeche bandhe hue the.
Gym mein phir se wahi heavy silence chha gaya.
Har student ki nazar ab un teenon par tiki hui thi.
Selene ka chalne ka tareeka hi aisa tha jaise koi dangerous beast apne shikaar ko calmly observe kar raha ho.
Lekin iss baar…
Uski nazar Vihaan par rukne ka tareeka thoda alag tha.
Jaise woh usse sirf ek weak student ki tarah nahi dekh rahi ho.
Jaise woh kisi aisi cheez ko dekh rahi ho jisme potential ho.
Kisi aisi cheez ko…
Jise aur dangerous banaya ja sakta ho.
Woh Vihaan ke saamne aakar ruk gayi.
Uski sharp golden aankhen uske upar dheere-dheere ghoomi.
Uski breathing.
Uska stance.
Uske trembling arms.
Fight ke baad bhi uska khada rehna.
Sab kuch woh quietly notice kar rahi thi.
"Tumhari endurance abhi bhi poori messy hai,"
usne calmly kaha.
Vihaan ne awkwardly seedha khade rehne ki koshish ki.
Uski chest ab bhi bhaari saanson ke saath upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Running aur sparring ke baad uski body literally tootne wali feel ho rahi thi.
Lekin phir bhi…
Selene ki next line sunte hi uska focus instantly sharpen ho gaya.
"Lekin tumhare
reflexes…"
Selene ki aankhen thodi narrow hui.
Jaise woh kisi puzzle ke baare mein soch rahi ho.
"…interesting hain."
Poore hall mein phir halki si reaction hui.
"Kya?"
"Reflexes?"
"Kab se?"
Vihaan khud bhi thoda stunned sa reh gaya.
Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha kya bolna chahiye.
Uska heartbeat itna loud ho raha tha ki usse lag raha tha aas-paas ke log bhi sun lenge.
Dhak..
Dhak...
Dhak....
Fight ke dauraan sab kuch naturally hua tha.
Usne consciously itna socha bhi nahi tha.
Body bas move karti gayi.
Aur shayad wahi baat Selene ne notice kar li thi.
Vihaan ne halka sa saliva nigla.
Lekin uske muh se words properly nikle hi nahi.
Tabhi—
Selene ki nazar achanak Nathan ki taraf taraf hui.
Poora atmosphere instantly tight ho gaya.
"Aur tum."
Nathan jo ab tak awkwardly khada hone ki koshish kar raha tha, turant stiff ho gaya.
Selene ki aankhon mein ab pehle wali amusement bilkul nahi thi.
Sirf pressure tha.
"Tum ek aise insaan se haar gaye jo tumse poora ek stage neeche hai?"
Nathan ka chehra turant ugly ho gaya.
Poore class ke saamne yeh sunna obviously uske ego ko seedha hit kar raha tha.
Kuch students ne awkwardly nazrein hata li.
Kuch ne sympathy se Nathan ko dekha.
Aur kuch…
Kuch log chup-chaap Vihaan ki taraf dekhne lage.
Kyuki Selene indirectly ek aur cheez confirm kar chuki thi—
Vihaan ki jeet sirf kismat ya ek random move ki wajah se nahi hui thi.
"Par hum mana use hi nahi kar rahe the!"
Nathan ne jaldi se bola.
Uski awaaz mein frustration aur embarrassment dono mix the.
Jaise woh desperately koi excuse dhoondhne ki koshish kar raha ho taaki poore class ke saamne uski insult thodi kam ho jaaye.
Kyuki abhi-abhi jo hua tha…
Uska ego usse accept hi nahi kar paa raha tha.
Ek stage neeche wale ladke se haarna already enough embarrassing tha.
Aur ab poora class usse dekh bhi raha tha.
Lekin Selene ne uski baat sun kar bas uski taraf ek sharp aur disappointed look dala.
Bas ek look.
Aur wahi look Nathan ko aur zyada uncomfortable feel karane ke liye kaafi tha.
"Toh kya usse tumhe better feel hona chahiye?!"
Achanak Selene ki garajti hui awaaz poore gym mein gunji.
Nathan visibly jhatke se hil gaya.
Kuch students bhi instinctively seedhe khade ho gaye.
"GET UP, BOY!"
Uski awaaz itni loud thi ki gym ki hawa tak heavy feel hone lagi.
Nathan ne turant daant bhinch liye.
Uska chehra irritation aur embarrassment se laal pad raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi usne jaldi se mat par haath rakha aur khud ko upar uthaya.
Uski body language clearly dikh rahi thi..
Uska ego buri tarah hurt hua tha.
Selene ek kadam aur aage badhi.
Uski sharp golden aankhen seedha Nathan par tiki hui thi.
"Ek aur ghanta!"
Nathan ki aankhen halki si phail gayi.
Clearly usse laga tha punishment khatam ho gayi.
Lekin Selene ki next line ne uska poora mood tod diya.
"GET UP AND RUN!"
Poore class mein almost ek collective dard bhari reaction phail gayi.
"Khatam…..mai kya bolta hun iski yehi pe Kabra (coffin) banegi lagta hai "
Haa muze bhi laga raha ...
"Bechara mar jayega."
"Main hota toh wahi gir
jaata."
Kuch students ne sympathy se Nathan ko dekha.
Kuch secretly hass bhi rahe the.
Nathan ne irritate hokar daant aur zor se bhinch liye.
Ek second ke liye uski nazar Vihaan par gayi.
Us glare mein frustration clearly thi.
Jaise woh andar hi andar aur zyada jal raha ho ki yeh sab uski wajah se ho raha hai.
Lekin Selene ke saamne argue karne ki himmat usme nahi thi.
Toh usne bas irritated sa saans chhoda…
Aur phir bhaagna start kar diya.
Uske heavy footsteps poore gym mein gunjne lage.
Uski body already exhausted thi, aur ab usse extra punishment bhi mil gaya tha.
Selene ne usse kuch seconds tak dekha.
Phir woh seedhi khadi hui aur poore class ki taraf mud gayi.
Uski tail ek baar dheere se peeche hili.
Aur phir uski awaaz dobara poore hall mein gunji...
"Baaki sab!"
Students almost instantly alert ho gaye.
"Partners switch karo!"
Poore hall mein ek saath thake hue groans gunj uthe.
"Phir se?!"
"Lagata hai aaj sach mein meri kabra (Coffin) idhar hi banegi aaj…"
"Yeh humein zinda nahi chhodana chahti hai."
Students ki toot chuki awaazein har taraf se aa rahi thi.
Kisi ke pair properly stable nahi the.
Kisi ke haath kaanp rahe the.
Kuch log toh bas khade rehne ke liye struggle kar rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi…
Koi bhi apni jagah zyada der tak rukne ki himmat nahi kar raha tha.
Kyuki academy mein sabko ek baat bahut achhi tarah pata thi...
Selene ko ignore karna ya uska order delay karna matlab aur zyada suffering invite karna.
Isliye poora class jaldi -jaldi naye partners switch karne laga.
Vihaan ne abhi properly apni breathing control karni bhi start nahi ki thi.
Uski chest ab bhi bhaari lag rahi thi.
Har breath garam aur rough thi.
Body running aur sparring dono ki wajah se jal rahi thi.
Uske muscles literally scream kar rahe the rest ke liye.
Lekin usse barely kuch seconds ka break mila tha.
Tabhi...
Ek shadow uske saamne aa kar ruk gayi.
"Tum mere saath."
Vihaan ne thoda sir uthaaya aur dekha....
Aur saamne Tessa khadi thi.
Uske tanned skin par sweat halki shine kar raha tha.
Athletic body clearly toned thi.
Aur uske chehre par wahi usual carefree expression tha…
Jaise usse duniya ki kisi cheez ki tension hi nahi hoti.
Academy mein Tessa ka naam almost har koi jaanta tha.
Not because she was smart.
Bilkul nahi.
Actually opposite.
Woh un logon mein se thi jo pehle punch maarte the aur baad mein sochte the.
Agar sochte bhi the toh.
Kai students secretly kehte the ki uske muscles uske dimaag se zyada developed hain.
Lekin ek cheez koi deny nahi kar sakta tha—
Woh physically dangerous thi.
Bahut dangerous.
Uski raw strength academy ke kaafi students se zyada thi.
Tessa ne bilkul casually apne shoulders stretch kiye.
Uske movements mein bilkul hesitation nahi thi.
Jaise woh poore gym mein sabse comfortable insaan ho.
Uska training outfit bhi usual ki tarah kaafi revealing tha.
Aur honestly…
Usse iss baat ki zero parwah thi.
Decency naam ki cheez jaise uske dictionary mein exist hi nahi karti thi.
Short top.
Exposed waist.
Tight shorts.
Aur iss waqt Vihaan jahan bhi nazar ghumaata…
Usse bas uski tanned skin hi dikh rahi thi.
Shoulders.
Legs.
Waist.
Arms.
Almost everywhere.
Vihaan ka expression halka sa awkward ho gaya.
Usne instinctively side mein dekhne ki koshish ki.
Aaj ka din waise hi uske dimaag aur body dono ko enough torture de chuka tha.
Ab yeh naya distraction uske saamne khada tha.
Aur sabse buri baat...
Tessa ko uski awkwardness ka zara bhi idea nahi tha.
Woh bas bilkul casually apne fingers crack karne lagi.
"Hope tum pehle wale se better fight doge,"
usne grin karte hue kaha.
Uski awaaz mein excitement clearly thi.
"Main easy nahi jaane wali."
Vihaan ne ek second ke liye usse dekha.
Phir andar hi andar thoda mentally prepare hone ki koshish ki.
Kyuki Nathan irritating tha.
Lekin Tessa?
Tessa seedha insaan ko deewar mein ghusa dene wali type thi ...

═════✧──✧──✧════
Woh ek second mein side mein hata, aur nathan ka punch hawa mein nikal gaya.
Usi moment Vihaan neeche jhuka aur usne Nathan ke pair ko neeche se sweep kar diya.
Nathan ka balance turant toot gaya..
"Shit—!"
Nathan ka balance poori tarah hil gaya.
Woh ladkhadaate hue aage ki taraf girne laga.
Uske pair mat par awkwardly ghise, jaise woh last second par khud ko sambhalne ki koshish kar raha ho…
Lekin body ne saath nahi diya.
Agla hi second
Thap!
Uska ek ghutna zor se mat se takraya.
Face ke bal seedha girne se bachne ke liye usne turant dono haath aage tikaye.
Yeh kya hua abhi ?
Isa Trash ne Nathan ke waar ko Sweep kar diya?... kaise ?
Kaise ho sakata hai yeh... ?
Kisi ne dhire se bola
Uske haath zor se mat par lage aur woh mushkil se apna muh zameen pe lagne se bacha paaya.
Ek pal ke liye uski saans
(Breath) hi atak gayi.
Uski aankhen shock se thodi badi ho gayi thi.
Jaise usse samajh hi nahi aa raha ho ki abhi hua kya tha.
Tabhi Selene ki tez aur sakht awaaz unki fight ke beech gunji.
"Good move, Vihaan!"
Usne zor se kaha.
"Attack karke ruk mat jao Vihaan!
Pressure maintain rakho—poora follow karo!"
Uski awaaz seedha Vihaan ke andar tak jaake lagi.
Jaise uske andar kuch achanak activate ho gaya ho.
Ek second pehle tak uski body sirf thakaan, dard aur bhaari saanson (breathing)se bhari hui thi…
Lekin ab uska focus achanak aur sharp ho gaya.
Uski aankhen seedha Nathan par tik gayi.
Us moment mein usse na gym ki awaaz properly sunai de rahi thi…
Na aas-paas chal rahi fights....
Sirf saamne khada opponent dikh raha tha.
Sirf next move
Sirf fight
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari thi.
Paseena ab bhi uske chehre se beh
raha tha.
Pair ab bhi dard kar rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi uska sharir pehle se zyada fast react kar raha tha.
Jaise body dheere-dheere fight ke rhythm mein aa rahi ho.
Nathan ne jaldi se khud ko sambhala aur wapas khada ho gaya, lekin uske chehre par irritation clearly dikh raha tha.
Usse bilkul expect nahi tha ki Vihaan uske attack ko itni clean timing se counter karega.
Aur sabse badi baat…
Vihaan ko yeh tak nahi pata tha ki poori class usse dekh rahi thi...
Kuch students apni fights continue karte hue side se baar-baar uski taraf nazar daal rahe the.
Kuch log toh literally apne attacks slow karke un dono ko observe karne lage the.
Aur kuch ne toh practice karna almost stop hi kar diya tha.
Kyuki unke saamne jo ladka fight kar raha tha…
Woh wahi trash Vihaan tha jo pehle running ke waqt sabse pehle tootne lagta tha.
Wahi ladka jo class mein almost Gayab (invisible) rehta tha.
Jise log weak
samajh kar ignore kar dete the.
Aur ab…
Usne Nathan jaise ladke ka attack perfectly read karke uska balance bigaad diya tha.
Nathan ne daant itni zor se bhinche ki uske jaw ki muscles tak tight dikhne lagi.
Usne gusse mein mat par tikka haath hataya aur jaldi se khud ko wapas khada kiya.
Uska chehra irritation aur embarrassment se bhar chuka tha.
Aas-paas ke students ki nazrein uspar pad chuki thi…
aur shayad wahi baat usse aur zyada chubh rahi thi.
"Lucky shot…"
usne dheere se gusse mein budbudaaya, jaise khud ko convince karne ki koshish kar raha ho ki abhi jo hua woh bas ek accident tha.
Lekin uski aankhon mein ab pehle wali casual smile nahi thi.
Ab wahan frustration tha.
Gussa tha.
Agla hi second woh phir se Vihaan ki taraf jhapta.
Iss baar uske moves pehle se zyada rough lag rahe the.
Jaise woh bas kisi bhi tarah Vihaan ko hit karna chahta ho.
Usne poori body ghuma kar ek heavy punch seedha Vihaan ke jaw ki taraf maara.
Attack itna achanak aur tez tha ki aas-paas khade kuch students ki saans tak ruk gayi.
"Oiiii—!"
Lekin Vihaan ka sharir usse pehle hi move kar chuka tha.
Uska dimaag properly soch bhi nahi paaya.
Body almost instinct se react kar rahi thi.
Woh turant neeche jhuk gaya.
Nathan ka punch uske sir ke bilkul upar se hawa cheerta hua nikal gaya.
Us swing ki tez hawa tak Vihaan ke baalon ko hila gayi.
Ek second ki bhi deri hoti…
Toh woh punch seedha uske face par lagta.
Nathan ki aankhen ek pal ke liye shock se phail gayi.
Usse clearly expect nahi tha ki Vihaan itni clean timing se us attack se bach jayega.
Dusri taraf Vihaan khud bhi apni heartbeat ko zor-zor se mehsoos kar raha tha.
Uski saansein ab aur bhaari ho chuki thi.
Paseena gardan se behkar shirt mein soak ho raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi…
Uska focus toot nahi raha tha.
Us moment mein uska sharir sirf ek cheez kar raha tha....
Survive
Vihaan khud properly samajh bhi nahi paaya ki usne move kab kiya.
Uska sharir bas apne aap react kar gaya.
Jab Nathan ka punch uske upar se nikla, usi moment Vihaan ka haath neeche se seedha upar ki taraf gaya.
Thud!
Uska mukka seedha Nathan ke pet mein jaake laga.
"Ugh—!"
Nathan ke muh se dard bhari awaaz nikli.
Uski saans ek second mein toot gayi.
Uska sharir turant aage ki taraf jhuk gaya, jaise pet se saari hawa ek hi hit mein bahar nikal gayi ho.
Woh do-teen kadam ladkhadaate hue peeche hata.
Uski aankhen shock se phail chuki thi.
Jaise usse yakeen hi nahi ho raha ho ki Vihaan ka punch itna solid lagega.
Phir uske pair jawab de gaye.
Woh seedha mat par gir pada aur dono haathon se apna stomach pakad liya.
"Haa… khh…!"
Woh properly saans lene ki koshish kar raha tha, lekin har breath toot rahi thi.
Aas-paas khade kuch students ki aankhen thodi badi ho gayi.
"Kya usne Nathan ko gira diya?"
"Vihaan ne…?"
"Kaise ho sakta hai yeh?"
Kisi ko expect nahi tha ki usually quiet rehne wala Vihaan itni clean timing se counter karega.
Aur sabse zyada shocked toh khud Vihaan tha.
Uska haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp raha tha.
Uski saansein bhaari thi.
Lekin uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si feeling uth rahi thi.
Jaise pehli baar…
Woh helpless nahi tha.
Vihaan chahta toh wahi ruk sakta tha.
Nathan already properly saans bhi nahi le paa raha tha.
Lekin us moment mein…
Uske andar kuch click hua.
Jaise uska sharir ab peeche hatna bhool gaya ho.
Jaise itne saalon ka daba hua gussa, helplessness aur frustration uske moves mein nikalne laga ho.
Nathan abhi bhi apna stomach pakad kar sambhalne ki koshish kar hi raha tha ki Vihaan aage badha.
Usne apna ghutna seedha Nathan ke chest mein maara.
Thud!
Hit itna strong nahi tha ki serious damage kare…
Lekin enough tha uska balance poori tarah todne ke liye.
Nathan seedha peeche ki taraf ladkhadaate hue gira aur zor se mat par jaa (spread) phaila..
"Ughh—!"
Uske muh se dard bhari karah nikli.
Kuch students ki aankhen aur badi ho gayi.
"Kya… Vihaan dominate kar raha hai?"
"Nathan toh poora neeche chala gaya…"
Nathan mat par phela hua bhaari saansein le raha tha.
Dusri taraf Vihaan uske upar khada tha.
Uski chest tez-tez uth aur gir rahi thi.
Paseena uske chin se tapak raha tha.
Body ab bhi kaanp rahi thi…
Lekin uski aankhon mein pehle wali weak hesitation nahi thi.
Usne bhaari saans lete hue dheere se kaha....
"Give up."
Nathan ne irritate hokar aankhen band ki aur dard se karaha.
"Ugh… theek hai…"
usne toot-ti hui saans ke saath kaha.
"Tu jeet gaya."
Fight khatam ho chuki thi.
Nathan ab bhi mat par pada bhaari saansein le raha tha, ek haath chest par aur doosra stomach par rakhe hue.
Dusri taraf Vihaan wahi khada tha.
Uski chest lagataar tez-tez upar neeche ho rahi thi.
Har saans bhaari thi..
Paseena uski chin se tapak kar mat par gir raha tha.
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Poora sharir training aur fight ki thakaan se jal raha tha…
Lekin phir bhi woh gira nahi.
Woh bas khada raha.
Ek pal ke liye usse samajh hi nahi aaya ki usse feel kya karna chahiye.
Uske andar ajeeb si mixed feelings chal rahi thi.
Ek taraf uske andar halki si jeet wali feeling uth rahi thi.
Nathan jaise ladke ko itne clean tareeke se harana…
Yeh pehle wala Vihaan imagine bhi nahi kar sakta tha.
Lekin saath hi confusion bhi tha.
Kyuki fight ke dauraan jo hua…
Woh uske liye bhi normal nahi tha.
Uske moves pehle se zyada smooth lag rahe the.
Zyada clean.
Aur zyada fast.
Aur sabse ajeeb baat…
Usne properly soch kar kuch kiya hi nahi tha.
Nathan attack karta…
Aur uski body already react kar leti.
Side step
Counter
Timing
Sab kuch almost naturally flow ho raha tha.
Jaise uska sharir khud fight kar raha ho.
Jaise muscles aur instincts uske dimaag se pehle decide kar rahe ho kya karna hai.
Usse clearly mehsoos ho raha tha ki kuch badal raha hai.
Sirf uski strength nahi…
Uska poora body control.
Nathan ke mat par girte hi…
Ek heartbeat ke liye poora gym bilkul chup ho gaya.
Aisi khamoshi jaise kisi ne achanak saari awaaz kheench li ho.
Na complaints.
Na fighting ki awaazein.
Na Selene ki daant.
Sirf students ki bhaari saansein gunj rahi thi.
Aur un sabki nazrein…
Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Kuch students shock mein the.
Kuch confuse.
Aur kuch ke chehron par clearly disbelief dikh raha tha.
Kyuki unke saamne jo ladka khada tha..
Woh wahi Vihaan tha jise woh hamesha weak samajhte aaye the.
Sirf chup nahi…
Aisi khamoshi chha gayi thi jaise poora hall ek pal ke liye saans lena hi bhool gaya ho.
Har taraf bas bhaari saanson ki halki awaaz thi.
Students thakaan se poori tarah toot chuke the.
Kisi ke baal paseene se chipak gaye the, kisi ke haath ab bhi kaanp rahe the, aur kai logon ki aankhen exhaustion ki wajah se properly focus bhi nahi kar paa rahi thi.
Lekin us moment mein…
Sabki nazrein sirf ek hi insaan par tiki hui thi.
Vihaan Drayke
Wahi Vihaan…
Jisne academy aane ke baad ek bhi spar properly nahi jeeta tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo kisi ki tez awaaz sunte hi instinctively peeche hat jaata tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jise dekh kar log ya toh mazaak udaate the…
ya ignore kar dete the...
Jo training ke waqt sabse pehle tootne lagta tha.
Jo hamesha weak lagta tha.
Aur ab…
Wahi ladka Nathan ko mat par gira kar uske upar khada tha.
Kuch students ke chehron par avishwas (disbelief) saaf dikh raha tha.
Jaise unka dimaag accept hi nahi kar paa raha ho ki abhi jo hua woh real tha.
"Ye… Vihaan tha na?"
"Nathan seriously haar gaya?"
"Kab se yeh itna fast move karne laga?"
Halki-halki fusfusaahat poore hall mein phailne lagi.
Lekin Vihaan ko woh sab properly sunai bhi nahi de raha tha.
Uske kaano mein ab bhi apni heartbeat gunj rahi thi.
Dhak..
Dhak...
Dhak....
Dhak.....
Uski body ab bhi thakaan aur adrenaline(energy‚rush) se bhar chuki thi.
Lekin andar kahin…
Ek cheez dheere-dheere badal rahi thi.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo William ki sirf ek thandi nazar padte hi chup ho jaata tha.
Jo uske saamne aate hi instinctively peeche hatne lagta tha.
Jiske chehre par hamesha hesitation
(Hichkichahat) aur darr saaf dikh jaata tha.
Wahi Vihaan…
Jo class ke saamne kabhi properly awaaz tak nahi uthata tha.
Aur ab…
Wahi ladka iss waqt sabke saamne khada tha.
Uski chest bhaari saanson ke saath lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Har breath toot rahi thi.
Paseena uske jawline se behkar neeche tapak raha tha.
Uski shirt poori tarah paseene se chipak chuki thi.
Body ab bhi training aur fight ki thakaan se jal rahi thi…
Lekin phir bhi woh gira nahi.
Woh bas seedha khada raha.
Aur Nathan…
Nathan mat par pada hua tha.
Ek haath stomach par rakhe hue woh properly saans lene ki koshish kar raha tha.
Uska chehra irritation aur avishwas (disbelief) se bhar chuka tha.
Jaise usse abhi tak yakeen hi na ho ki woh Vihaan se haar gaya.
Poore gym ka atmosphere ajeeb sa ho gaya tha.
Kisi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha react kaise kare.
Jaise sabke dimaag ek hi point par jaake atak gaye ho.
'Yeh… kab hua?'
Students ke dimaag mein ek saath dozens of thoughts daudne lage.
"Nahi… yeh same Vihaan nahi lag raha."
"Isse pehle toh woh running mein barely tik pa ta tha…"
"Usne Nathan ka attack itni clean timing se kaise read kiya?"
"Uske movements pehle itne fast nahi the."
"Kya woh secretly training kar raha tha?"
"Kab se?"
Kuch students confusion mein ek dusre ko dekh rahe the.
Kuch ab bhi disbelief mein Vihaan aur Nathan ke beech nazar ghuma rahe the.
Aur kuch ke chehron par clearly uneasiness (bechaini)dikhne lagi thi.
Kyuki unhone pehli baar Vihaan ko weak nahi dekha tha.
Unhone pehli baar usse kisi ko dominate karte dekha tha.
Poore hall mein halki fusfusaahat dheere-dheere phailne lagi.
Lekin us sab ke beech Vihaan ko woh awaazein properly sunai bhi nahi de rahi thi.
Uske kaano mein bas apni heartbeat gunj rahi thi.
Dhak.
Dhak..
Dhak…
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Body ab bhi dard kar rahi thi.
Lekin uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si feeling dheere-dheere ubhar rahi thi.
Jaise pehli baar..
Woh sach mein badal raha ho.
"Kya Vihaan ne seriously Nathan ko hara diya…?"
"Nahi… impossible."
"Par sabne dekha na…"
"Woh itna fast move kaise kar raha tha?"
"Uska timing dekha tune?"
"Woh luck nahi tha…
bilkul bhi nahi."
"Kya yeh ab bhi wahi purana Trash hai?"
Halki-halki fusfusaahat dheere-dheere poore gym mein phail gayi thi.
Students ab openly apas mein baat karne lage the.
Kisi ke chehre par shock tha.
Kisi ke expression mein confusion.
Aur kuch log toh bas chup-chaap Vihaan ko dekh rahe the, jaise abhi bhi unka dimaag samajhne ki koshish kar raha ho ki unhone abhi kya dekha.
Nathan jaise ladke ko harana academy mein koi normal baat nahi thi.
Especially Vihaan ke liye.
Kyuki ab tak Vihaan ka naam strength ke saath kabhi joda hi nahi gaya tha.
Woh hamesha weak side par khada dikhta tha.
Hamesha pressure mein.
Hamesha peeche.
Lekin abhi…
Abhi usne Nathan ko cleanly counter kiya tha.
Attack dodge kiya.
Timing read ki.
Aur phir usse seedha mat par gira diya.
Aur yeh sab kisi desperate lucky hit jaisa nahi laga.
Uske moves rough hone ke baad bhi natural lag rahe the.
Jaise uski body suddenly fight samajhne lagi ho.
Nathan ab bhi mat par baitha hua tha, ek haath stomach par rakhe hue.
Uski saansein ab tak heavy chal rahi thi.
Kabhi-kabhi woh pain se halka sa muh bhi sikod raha tha.
Lekin uski aankhen…
Uski aankhen sirf Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Aisi nazar se jaise woh usse pehchaan hi nahi paa raha ho.
Jaise uske saamne khada ladka woh same quiet aur weak Vihaan tha hi nahi jise woh roz dekhte aaye the.
Uske chehre par irritation ab bhi tha…
Lekin us irritation ke peeche ek aur cheez bhi clearly thi.
Uneasiness (Bechaini)
Kyuki fight ke dauraan ek moment ke liye bhi usse feel nahi hua tha ki Vihaan panic kar raha hai.
Aur wahi baat sabse zyada unsettling thi.
Dusri taraf Vihaan khud bhi andar se utna hi confused tha jitna baaki sab.
Uski saansein (breathing )ab bhi bhaari thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho raha tha.
Paseena jawline se behkar gardan tak pahunch raha tha.
Uske haath ab bhi halka sa kaanp rahe the fight aur exhaustion ki wajah se.
Lekin phir bhi…
Uske andar kahin na kahin ek ajeeb si warmth uth rahi thi.
Ek feeling jo usne kaafi time se mehsoos nahi ki thi.
Control
Fight ke dauraan usse ek bhi baar woh purani helplessness feel nahi hui thi.
Na woh panic...
Na woh darr jo usually William ya kisi strong student ke saamne aate hi uske andar bhar jaata tha.
Aaj uski body freeze nahi hui.
Aaj usne peeche hatne ke bajaye react kiya.
Fight ki.
Aur jeeta.
Vihaan clearly mehsoos kar sakta tha ki sabki nazrein uspar tiki hui hain.
Lekin aaj un nazron mein woh usual mazaak nahi tha.
Na pity.
Na disrespect.
Aaj log usse alag tarah se dekh rahe the.
Confused.
Careful.
Hesitant.
Jaise poora class ek hi baat silently realize kar raha ho..
Vihaan badal raha tha.
Yeh change bahut subtle tha.
Bahut chhota.
Lekin itna clear tha ki ignore nahi kiya ja sakta tha.
Poore gym ka atmosphere pehle jaisa nahi raha tha.
Aur sabse scary baat yeh thi…
Kisi ko samajh nahi aa raha tha ki yeh change exactly kab start hua.
Lekin ek baat sabko yaad thi.
Woh kuch ghante…
Jab dungeon incident ke baad poore class ko laga tha ki Vihaan mar chuka hai.
Uske baad se…
Woh pehle jaisa nahi raha tha.
Vihaan ab pehle jaisa weak nahi raha tha...
Yeh baat ab sirf usse mehsoos nahi ho rahi thi…
Poora class us change ko feel kar raha tha.
Uske andar kuch badal gaya tha.
Kuch subtle.
Kuch aisa jo words mein properly explain nahi kiya ja sakta tha…
lekin ignore bhi nahi kiya ja sakta tha.
Fight ke dauraan uska move karna pehle se alag tha.
Uska timing.
Uska react karna.
Uska pressure mein panic na karna.
Sab kuch different lag raha tha.
Kitna different?
Yeh kisi ko nahi pata tha.
Shayad khud Vihaan ko bhi nahi.
Lekin ek baat sabko clearly feel ho rahi thi.
Woh ab wahi helpless Vihaan nahi tha jise sab easily daba dete the.
Poore gym mein halki fusfusaahat phail gayi thi.
Students ke chehron par confusion aur disbelief mix ho chuka tha.
Kyuki jo unhone abhi dekha tha…
Woh unke purane image of Vihaan se match hi nahi karta tha.
Gym ke ek side par William bhi apni sparring ke beech ruk gaya tha.
Uska opponent awkwardly peeche khada tha, lekin William ki nazar tab se Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Poore hall ka attention Vihaan ki taraf jaana usse clearly pasand nahi aa raha tha.
Phir usne achanak zor se naak se hansi nikali.
"Tch."
Usne shoulders roll kiye aur casual expression ke saath bola
"Zyada excited mat ho jao."
Uski awaaz poore hall mein clearly gunji.
"Yahan kuch bhi special nahi hua hai."
Poora class phir se chup ho gaya.
William ne Nathan ki taraf dekha jo ab tak mat par baitha apna stomach pakde hue heavy breaths le raha tha.
Phir uski nazar wapas Vihaan par gayi.
"Bas Nathan careless ho gaya tha,"
usne dismissive tone mein kaha.
"Aur tum log usse unnecessarily bada bana rahe ho."
Kuch students awkwardly ek dusre ko dekhne lage.
Kisi ne kuch bola nahi.
Kyuki William academy ke strongest students mein se ek tha.
Uske against openly bolne ki himmat usually kisi mein nahi hoti thi.
Lekin iss baar…
Uske words ke baad bhi atmosphere pehle jaisa nahi hua.
Kyuki sabne apni aankhon se dekha tha ki fight mein kya hua.
Unhone dekha tha Vihaan ka dodge.
Uska counter.
Uska confidence.
Aur sabse important...
Unhone pehli baar Vihaan ko kisi ke saamne freeze hote hue nahi dekha tha.
William ne bilkul casually apna angutha Nathan ki taraf kiya.
"Nathan Weak Chutiya Hai ....
Jo Ek Trash Se Hara Gaya."
Uski awaaz itni seedhi aur thandi thi ki ek second ke liye Nathan ka chehra aur zyada ugly ho gaya.
Lekin William ruka nahi.
Agle hi pal usne seedha ungli Vihaan ki taraf kar di.
Uski aankhon mein wahi purana contempt tha.
Wahi zeher bhari nazar.
"Aur woh trash bhi weak chutiya hai."
Poora hall ekdum chup ho gaya.
William ki awaaz dheemi thi…
lekin har word clearly sunai de raha tha.
"Weak logon ki fight ka result celebrate karne layak nahi hota....woh bhi isa jaise trash ka "
Teri Gand mei bohot khujli ho rahi hai na chutiye rukk ja tu thoda wait kar le ....achee se gand marunga teri mai .... bohot uda raha hai na khud pe bohot garv hai na tuze ....sabka return milega tuze bass thoda sa wait kar le....
(Vihaan ne man mai bola)
Uske words hawa mein zeher ki tarah phail gaye.
Kuch students uncomfortable ho gaye.
Kuch ne awkwardly nazrein hata li.
Lekin kuch log clearly convince bhi nahi lag rahe the.
Kyuki chahe William kuch bhi bole…
Sabne dekha tha ki Vihaan ne kya kiya tha.
William ne yeh hesitation notice kar li.
Aur shayad wahi baat uske ego ko aur irritate kar gayi.
Usne dheere se dono haath spread kiye, jaise poore hall ka attention naturally uspar belong karta ho.
Uske chehre par arrogant smile aa gayi.
"Agar tum logon ko real fight dekhni hai…"
usne confidence se bhari awaaz mein kaha,
"…toh mujhe dekho."
Uski tone mein itna confidence tha jaise result already decided hogaya ho.
Jaise uske liye baaki sab sirf background characters ho.
Poore gym ka atmosphere phir se tight ho gaya.
Kuch students instantly excited lagne lage.
Kuch nervous.
Aur kuch ki nazrein automatically Vihaan aur William ke beech shift hone lagi.
Kyuki sabko pata tha...
William ka ego kabhi kisi aur ko spotlight lene nahi deta tha.
"Bass....Bahut ho gaya tum logonka ."
Selene ki tez aur thandi awaaz achanak poore hall mein gunji.
Uski tone itni sharp thi ki William ke agle words literally uske muh mein hi ruk gaye.
(Jaise kisine uske muh mai lund de diya ho ...)
Jaise kisi ne ek second mein poore gym ki hawa kaat di ho.
Poora hall turant chup ho gaya.
William ka expression instantly stiff ho gaya.
Uske jaw ki muscles tight ho gayi aur aankhon mein irritation saaf chamak uthi.
Clearly usse pasand nahi aaya tha ki usse sabke saamne beech mein roka gaya.
Especially tab…
Jab poore class ka attention uspar tha.
Ek second ke liye laga jaise woh kuch bolne wala hai.
Uski aankhen halki si narrow hui.
Lekin phir usne khud ko rok liya.
Kyuki academy mein ek cheez sabko pata thi...
Selene ke saamne zyada attitude dikhana dangerous ho sakta tha.
Kyuki woh uska attitude usi ke gand mai dal deti...
William strong tha.
Bahut strong.
Lekin even he knew better than to openly argue with her.
Usne bas halki si irritated saans chhodi aur neck side mein ghuma li.
"Tch."
Uski annoyance clearly visible thi.
Lekin woh chup raha.
Poore hall mein ajeeb si silence phail gayi.
Kuch students secretly relieved lag rahe the.
William ka rant aur insults already atmosphere ko kaafi uncomfortable bana chuke the.
Aur honestly…
Kaafi logon ko yeh bhi feel ho raha tha ki William unnecessarily defensive ho raha tha.
Jaise usse Vihaan ko attention milna bilkul pasand nahi aa raha ho.
Selene ne William ko kuch aur seconds tak dekha.
Phir uski nazar dheere se Vihaan ki taraf gayi.
Uski tail ek baar halki si hili.
Ek chhota sa movement.
Lekin us movement mein amusement clearly tha.
Jaise usse poora scene interesting lag raha ho.
Phir dheere se uske honton par ek chhoti si smile ubhri.
Aur woh smile dekh kar kuch students ke expressions aur zyada surprise mein badal gaye.
Kyuki woh Selene ki usual smile nahi thi.
Na mocking.
Na cruel.
Na woh dangerous grin jo training ke waqt aati thi jab woh kisi ko torture karne wali hoti thi.
Yeh different thi.
Soft.
Real.
Genuine.
Aur shayad isi wajah se woh itni shocking lag rahi thi.
Selene kuch seconds tak bas Vihaan ko dekhti rahi.
Uski sharp beast-like aankhen usse quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Jaise woh uske andar aaye har chhote change ko notice kar chuki ho.
Uska movement.
Uska reaction speed.
Uska focus.
Uska pressure mein panic na karna.
Sab kuch.
Baaki students shayad abhi confused the…
Lekin Selene clearly samajh gayi thi ki abhi jo hua woh sirf ek lucky exchange nahi tha.
Vihaan ki body genuinely change ho rahi thi.
Aur sabse interesting baat yeh thi ki…
Vihaan khud shayad abhi tak yeh poori tarah realize bhi nahi kar paaya tha.
"Uski baaton par dhyaan mat do."
Selene ki awaaz iss baar pehle se kaafi calm thi.
Warm bhi.
Lekin us warmth ke andar ek aisa firmness tha jo seedha dil tak feel ho raha tha.
Poore hall mein phaili tension ek pal ke liye halki si shift hui.
William ne side se irritate hokar naak se saans chhodi, lekin Selene ne uski taraf dekha tak nahi.
Uski poori attention ab sirf Vihaan par thi.
"Tum improve hue ho,"
usne seedha kaha.
Uski awaaz mein bilkul bhi mazaak ya exaggeration nahi tha.
Pure honesty thi.
"Aur jitna improve hue ho…"
uski aankhen thodi aur sharp ho gayi,
…utna honestly kisi ne expect bhi nahi kiya tha."
Poora hall phir se dheere-dheere fusfusane laga.
Students ke expressions aur zyada complicated ho gaye.
Kyuki academy mein ek cheez sabko pata thi..
Selene compliments waste nahi karti.
Woh unnecessarily kisi ko praise nahi karti thi.
Agar woh kisi ki tareef kar rahi hai…
Toh uske peeche actual reason hota hai.
Aur iss waqt woh openly Vihaan ki improvement acknowledge kar rahi thi.
Yeh cheez hi kaafi shocking thi.
Vihaan khud bhi kuch seconds tak bas usse dekhta raha.
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari chal rahi thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Fight aur training ki wajah se uske muscles ab bhi jal rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi…
Selene ke words uske andar ajeeb tareeke se hit kar rahe the.
Kyuki academy aane ke baad shayad yeh pehli baar tha…
Jab kisi ne uski weakness ke bajaye uski growth notice ki thi.
Selene dheere se uske aur paas aayi.
Uski beast-like golden aankhen Vihaan ko quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Jaise woh uski skin ke neeche chal raha har change feel kar pa rahi ho.
Jaise woh samajhne ki koshish kar rahi ho ki exactly kya badla hai.
" Mujhe nahi pata tum kitne time se khud ko train kar rahe ho…"
usne dheere lekin clearly kaha.
"Ya phir tum pehle apni strength intentionally hide kar rahe the."
Students ke beech turant reactions aaye.
"Kya woh secretly train karta tha?"
"Par kab?"
"Mujhe toh kabhi notice nahi hua…"
Honestly, ab kaafi logon ko bhi wahi lagne laga tha.
Kyuki jo Vihaan aaj fight kar raha tha…
Woh pehle wala Vihaan bilkul nahi lag raha tha.
Uska movement alag tha.
Uska focus alag tha.
Sabse important
Aaj woh pressure mein toot nahi raha tha.
Selene ki tail ek baar dheere se hili.
"Lekin ek baat clear hai,"
usne continue kiya apni baat ko ....
"Agar tum isi tarah continue karte rahe…"
Uski aankhen seedha Vihaan ki aankhon mein tik gayi.
"…toh bahut jaldi baaki class ko catch up kar loge."
Poore hall mein iss baar pehle se zyada strong reaction hua.
"Kya?!"
"Selene seriously yeh bol rahi hai?"
"Matlab Vihaan itna improve kar sakta hai?"
Shock students ke faces par clearly dikh raha tha.
Kuch log ab bhi doubtful the.
Kuch uncomfortable.
Lekin ek cheez jo dheere-dheere atmosphere mein ub
har rahi thi…
Woh thi respect.
Chhoti si.
Subtle.
Lekin real.
Pehli baar students Vihaan ko sirf weak ya pitiful nazar se nahi dekh rahe the.
Ab woh usse seriously notice kar rahe the.
Jaise unke dimaag mein uski image dheere-dheere change ho rahi ho.
Aur yeh change sirf students mein nahi tha.
Nathan bhi ab chup-chaap Vihaan ko dekh raha tha.
William ka expression bhi pehle se zyada cold ho gaya tha.
Kyuki chahe woh accept kare ya nahi…
Sabko feel ho raha tha ki kuch badal gaya hai.
Aur shayad sabse zyada confusing baat yeh thi...
Vihaan khud bhi andar se yeh change clearly mehsoos kar raha tha.
Fight ke dauraan uska sharir naturally move kar raha tha.
Jaise uski body ko pehle se pata ho kya karna hai.
Jaise uske andar koi locked cheez dheere-dheere jag rahi ho.
Usse ab bhi samajh nahi aa raha tha ki exactly kya ho raha hai.
Lekin ek baat woh bhi deny nahi kar sakta tha.
Woh ab pehle wala Vihaan nahi raha tha.
"Tch... Jaise yeh kabhi hum tak pahunch paayega."
William ne yeh baat itni dheemi awaaz mein boli jaise woh bas khud se hi baat kar raha ho.
Lekin uski tone mein bhara hua zeher phir bhi clearly mehsoos ho raha tha.
Vihaan ki itani improvement dekh ke uski gand jal rahi thi ....
Uski nazar ab bhi Vihaan par tiki hui thi.
Cold.
Neecha dikhane wali.
Jaise woh poore class ko yaad dilana chahta ho ki unke beech ab bhi kitna bada difference hai.
Jaise Vihaan ka yeh ek win uske liye kuch matter hi nahi karta.
Lekin iss baar…
Vihaan ne nazrein nahi churayi.
Woh wahi khada raha.
Uski saansein ab bhi bhaari chal rahi thi.
Chest lagataar upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Paseena uske jawline se behkar gardan tak pahunch raha tha.
Uski shirt poori tarah paseene se chipak chuki thi.
Pair ab bhi thakaan se halka sa kaanp rahe the.
Body itni tired thi ki bas khade rehna bhi mushkil lag raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi…
Kaafi time mein pehli baar…
Usse yeh feel nahi ho raha tha ki woh sabke saamne chhota hai.
Pehle hota toh shayad William ki awaaz sunte hi uska confidence toot jaata tha.
Woh nazrein jhuka leta tha...
Side mein dekhne lagta tha...
Ya phir andar hi andar freeze ho jaata tha....
Lekin ab…
Woh bas seedha khada raha.
Usne William ki taraf dekha bhi nahi.
Jaise uski body finally yeh maan ne lagi ho ki har baar darr kar peeche hatna zaroori nahi hota.
Uske andar heartbeat ab bhi zor-zor se gunj rahi thi.
Fight ki adrenaline (sudden energy‚rush)
abhi tak poori tarah gayi nahi thi.
Lekin us sab ke neeche..
Ek aur feeling dheere-dheere strong ho rahi thi..
Confidence.
Chhota sa
Naya.
Lekin real.
Vihaan ne dheere se apni nazar uthayi aur Selene ki aankhon mein dekha.
Selene usse quietly observe kar rahi thi.
Uski beast-like golden aankhen unusually calm thi.
Jaise woh sirf uska face nahi…
Uske andar chal raha change bhi dekh rahi ho.
Kuch seconds tak dono ki nazrein mili rahi.
Phir Vihaan ne dheere se sir hila diya.
Bas ek chhota sa nod.
Lekin us chhote se movement mein pehle se zyada confidence tha.
Pehle wala hesitant Vihaan shayad aisa simple response dene mein bhi awkward feel karta.
Lekin ab…
Usne bina jhijhak Selene ki aankhon mein dekh kar answer diya.
Jaise woh silently accept kar raha ho...
Haan.
Woh badal raha hai.
Selene ki tail ek baar dheere se hili...
Uske honton par grin aur wide ho gayi.
"Yahi dekhna chahti hoon main…"
usne almost khud se hi dheere se kaha.
Uski awaaz mein clear satisfaction tha.
Jaise finally usse class mein woh spark dikh raha ho jiska woh itne time se wait kar rahi thi.
Aas-paas khade students ke expressions aur weird ho gaye.
Kyuki honestly…
Selene normally kisi student mein itna interest dikhati hi nahi thi.
Especially Vihaan jaise student mein toh bilkul nahi.
Kuch students ab openly confused lag rahe the.
"Kya Selene seriously usse praise kar rahi hai?"
"Yeh wohi Vihaan hai na…?"
William ka expression bhi aur cold ho gaya.
Usse clearly yeh sab pasand nahi aa raha tha.
Poore hall ka attention dheere-dheere Vihaan ki taraf shift ho raha tha…
Aur shayad wahi cheez usse sabse zyada irritate kar rahi thi.
Lekin phir achanak…
Jaise Selene ko yaad aa gaya ho ki woh abhi bhi instructor hai...
uski grin dheere-dheere fade hone lagi.
Uski aankhon ki softness gayab ho gayi.
Aur uski awaaz ka tone bhi instantly serious ho gaya.
"However—"
Bas ek word.
Lekin us ek word ke saath hi poore hall ka atmosphere phir se tight ho gaya.
Students almost instinctively seedhe khade ho gaye.
Kuch logon ne toh seedha karahna bhi band kar diya.
Kyuki sabko ek cheez bahut achhi tarah pata thi...
Jab Selene iss tone mein baat karti hai…
Tab usually kuch painful hone wala hota hai....ya yun kahu ki sab ki gand tutne wali hoti hai
Selene
dheere-dheere Vihaan aur Nathan ki taraf chalne lagi.
Uske dono haath peeth ke peeche bandhe hue the.
Gym mein phir se wahi heavy silence chha gaya.
Har student ki nazar ab un teenon par tiki hui thi.
Selene ka chalne ka tareeka hi aisa tha jaise koi dangerous beast apne shikaar ko calmly observe kar raha ho.
Lekin iss baar…
Uski nazar Vihaan par rukne ka tareeka thoda alag tha.
Jaise woh usse sirf ek weak student ki tarah nahi dekh rahi ho.
Jaise woh kisi aisi cheez ko dekh rahi ho jisme potential ho.
Kisi aisi cheez ko…
Jise aur dangerous banaya ja sakta ho.
Woh Vihaan ke saamne aakar ruk gayi.
Uski sharp golden aankhen uske upar dheere-dheere ghoomi.
Uski breathing.
Uska stance.
Uske trembling arms.
Fight ke baad bhi uska khada rehna.
Sab kuch woh quietly notice kar rahi thi.
"Tumhari endurance abhi bhi poori messy hai,"
usne calmly kaha.
Vihaan ne awkwardly seedha khade rehne ki koshish ki.
Uski chest ab bhi bhaari saanson ke saath upar-neeche ho rahi thi.
Running aur sparring ke baad uski body literally tootne wali feel ho rahi thi.
Lekin phir bhi…
Selene ki next line sunte hi uska focus instantly sharpen ho gaya.
"Lekin tumhare
reflexes…"
Selene ki aankhen thodi narrow hui.
Jaise woh kisi puzzle ke baare mein soch rahi ho.
"…interesting hain."
Poore hall mein phir halki si reaction hui.
"Kya?"
"Reflexes?"
"Kab se?"
Vihaan khud bhi thoda stunned sa reh gaya.
Usse samajh nahi aa raha tha kya bolna chahiye.
Uska heartbeat itna loud ho raha tha ki usse lag raha tha aas-paas ke log bhi sun lenge.
Dhak..
Dhak...
Dhak....
Fight ke dauraan sab kuch naturally hua tha.
Usne consciously itna socha bhi nahi tha.
Body bas move karti gayi.
Aur shayad wahi baat Selene ne notice kar li thi.
Vihaan ne halka sa saliva nigla.
Lekin uske muh se words properly nikle hi nahi.
Tabhi—
Selene ki nazar achanak Nathan ki taraf taraf hui.
Poora atmosphere instantly tight ho gaya.
"Aur tum."
Nathan jo ab tak awkwardly khada hone ki koshish kar raha tha, turant stiff ho gaya.
Selene ki aankhon mein ab pehle wali amusement bilkul nahi thi.
Sirf pressure tha.
"Tum ek aise insaan se haar gaye jo tumse poora ek stage neeche hai?"
Nathan ka chehra turant ugly ho gaya.
Poore class ke saamne yeh sunna obviously uske ego ko seedha hit kar raha tha.
Kuch students ne awkwardly nazrein hata li.
Kuch ne sympathy se Nathan ko dekha.
Aur kuch…
Kuch log chup-chaap Vihaan ki taraf dekhne lage.
Kyuki Selene indirectly ek aur cheez confirm kar chuki thi—
Vihaan ki jeet sirf kismat ya ek random move ki wajah se nahi hui thi.
"Par hum mana use hi nahi kar rahe the!"
Nathan ne jaldi se bola.
Uski awaaz mein frustration aur embarrassment dono mix the.
Jaise woh desperately koi excuse dhoondhne ki koshish kar raha ho taaki poore class ke saamne uski insult thodi kam ho jaaye.
Kyuki abhi-abhi jo hua tha…
Uska ego usse accept hi nahi kar paa raha tha.
Ek stage neeche wale ladke se haarna already enough embarrassing tha.
Aur ab poora class usse dekh bhi raha tha.
Lekin Selene ne uski baat sun kar bas uski taraf ek sharp aur disappointed look dala.
Bas ek look.
Aur wahi look Nathan ko aur zyada uncomfortable feel karane ke liye kaafi tha.
"Toh kya usse tumhe better feel hona chahiye?!"
Achanak Selene ki garajti hui awaaz poore gym mein gunji.
Nathan visibly jhatke se hil gaya.
Kuch students bhi instinctively seedhe khade ho gaye.
"GET UP, BOY!"
Uski awaaz itni loud thi ki gym ki hawa tak heavy feel hone lagi.
Nathan ne turant daant bhinch liye.
Uska chehra irritation aur embarrassment se laal pad raha tha.
Lekin phir bhi usne jaldi se mat par haath rakha aur khud ko upar uthaya.
Uski body language clearly dikh rahi thi..
Uska ego buri tarah hurt hua tha.
Selene ek kadam aur aage badhi.
Uski sharp golden aankhen seedha Nathan par tiki hui thi.
"Ek aur ghanta!"
Nathan ki aankhen halki si phail gayi.
Clearly usse laga tha punishment khatam ho gayi.
Lekin Selene ki next line ne uska poora mood tod diya.
"GET UP AND RUN!"
Poore class mein almost ek collective dard bhari reaction phail gayi.
"Khatam…..mai kya bolta hun iski yehi pe Kabra (coffin) banegi lagta hai "
Haa muze bhi laga raha ...
"Bechara mar jayega."
"Main hota toh wahi gir
jaata."
Kuch students ne sympathy se Nathan ko dekha.
Kuch secretly hass bhi rahe the.
Nathan ne irritate hokar daant aur zor se bhinch liye.
Ek second ke liye uski nazar Vihaan par gayi.
Us glare mein frustration clearly thi.
Jaise woh andar hi andar aur zyada jal raha ho ki yeh sab uski wajah se ho raha hai.
Lekin Selene ke saamne argue karne ki himmat usme nahi thi.
Toh usne bas irritated sa saans chhoda…
Aur phir bhaagna start kar diya.
Uske heavy footsteps poore gym mein gunjne lage.
Uski body already exhausted thi, aur ab usse extra punishment bhi mil gaya tha.
Selene ne usse kuch seconds tak dekha.
Phir woh seedhi khadi hui aur poore class ki taraf mud gayi.
Uski tail ek baar dheere se peeche hili.
Aur phir uski awaaz dobara poore hall mein gunji...
"Baaki sab!"
Students almost instantly alert ho gaye.
"Partners switch karo!"
Poore hall mein ek saath thake hue groans gunj uthe.
"Phir se?!"
"Lagata hai aaj sach mein meri kabra (Coffin) idhar hi banegi aaj…"
"Yeh humein zinda nahi chhodana chahti hai."
Students ki toot chuki awaazein har taraf se aa rahi thi.
Kisi ke pair properly stable nahi the.
Kisi ke haath kaanp rahe the.
Kuch log toh bas khade rehne ke liye struggle kar rahe the.
Lekin phir bhi…
Koi bhi apni jagah zyada der tak rukne ki himmat nahi kar raha tha.
Kyuki academy mein sabko ek baat bahut achhi tarah pata thi...
Selene ko ignore karna ya uska order delay karna matlab aur zyada suffering invite karna.
Isliye poora class jaldi -jaldi naye partners switch karne laga.
Vihaan ne abhi properly apni breathing control karni bhi start nahi ki thi.
Uski chest ab bhi bhaari lag rahi thi.
Har breath garam aur rough thi.
Body running aur sparring dono ki wajah se jal rahi thi.
Uske muscles literally scream kar rahe the rest ke liye.
Lekin usse barely kuch seconds ka break mila tha.
Tabhi...
Ek shadow uske saamne aa kar ruk gayi.
"Tum mere saath."
Vihaan ne thoda sir uthaaya aur dekha....
Aur saamne Tessa khadi thi.
Uske tanned skin par sweat halki shine kar raha tha.
Athletic body clearly toned thi.
Aur uske chehre par wahi usual carefree expression tha…
Jaise usse duniya ki kisi cheez ki tension hi nahi hoti.
Academy mein Tessa ka naam almost har koi jaanta tha.
Not because she was smart.
Bilkul nahi.
Actually opposite.
Woh un logon mein se thi jo pehle punch maarte the aur baad mein sochte the.
Agar sochte bhi the toh.
Kai students secretly kehte the ki uske muscles uske dimaag se zyada developed hain.
Lekin ek cheez koi deny nahi kar sakta tha—
Woh physically dangerous thi.
Bahut dangerous.
Uski raw strength academy ke kaafi students se zyada thi.
Tessa ne bilkul casually apne shoulders stretch kiye.
Uske movements mein bilkul hesitation nahi thi.
Jaise woh poore gym mein sabse comfortable insaan ho.
Uska training outfit bhi usual ki tarah kaafi revealing tha.
Aur honestly…
Usse iss baat ki zero parwah thi.
Decency naam ki cheez jaise uske dictionary mein exist hi nahi karti thi.
Short top.
Exposed waist.
Tight shorts.
Aur iss waqt Vihaan jahan bhi nazar ghumaata…
Usse bas uski tanned skin hi dikh rahi thi.
Shoulders.
Legs.
Waist.
Arms.
Almost everywhere.
Vihaan ka expression halka sa awkward ho gaya.
Usne instinctively side mein dekhne ki koshish ki.
Aaj ka din waise hi uske dimaag aur body dono ko enough torture de chuka tha.
Ab yeh naya distraction uske saamne khada tha.
Aur sabse buri baat...
Tessa ko uski awkwardness ka zara bhi idea nahi tha.
Woh bas bilkul casually apne fingers crack karne lagi.
"Hope tum pehle wale se better fight doge,"
usne grin karte hue kaha.
Uski awaaz mein excitement clearly thi.
"Main easy nahi jaane wali."
Vihaan ne ek second ke liye usse dekha.
Phir andar hi andar thoda mentally prepare hone ki koshish ki.
Kyuki Nathan irritating tha.
Lekin Tessa?
Tessa seedha insaan ko deewar mein ghusa dene wali type thi ...
