It's already passed 4 PM. It's 4:30.
When will Alok come here. Will he even come?
Hey guys, look; this kid really came here. Karan said,
Why are you guys here? Instead of Alok, I said.
I don't want to deal with you guys, leave.
Hey easy kid, do you think Alok is going to come and meet you, a complete nobody.
And who might you be? I asked. You weren't here yesterday.
Me? Varun. I heard what happened yesterday.
You think you are so high and mighty that Alok will come to meet you when you caught me off-guard. Karan said.
Hey Piyush, I don't think he would be fine today.
This scene made me remember the chaos of yesterday night in my mind that I'm weak, I caught him off-guard.
Why am I being frozen again, just let go of these thoughts.
Hey, listen kid, Varun said. Alok will only come if you could beat us 3, so what do you think-can you do it?
Why, why, why can't I move-inside my mind-is this really it?
Forget the talk, initiating the action. First, I am going to start. Karan said.
A hook came to my left cheek.
I didn't dodge, that hook made me come to my senses.
Look, I told you that he just caught me off-guard yesterday, Karan said.
And again
A jab to my stomach, I blocked it.
So you can block hits, Karan said.
Inside my mind, clearly these guys have more power and numbers, what I need to do is don't give any chance for him to attack.
Threw a straight jab with my left, he blocked it.
A right punch in his face; he got hit.
A 180°- degree spinning elbow to his right cheek with my left elbow; he was unable to react.
And lastly, smashing his face to my right knee.
These are all back-to-back attacks in 5 seconds.
Karan was down.
"Hey Piyush", Varun said.
Did that kid actually defeat Karan in such a short time?
He first used his left punch to distract him, said Piyush. Then right punch to his face, so he can't react for his next attack.
And then, with the help of momentum, turn back to give an impact with his elbow to Karan's Jaw.
And dug it into his knee with his head.
Hey kid, Varun said. Did you learn MMA or something from someone.
MMA? never heard of that, I replied.
Huh? Varun asked, so where did you learn that move.
Is this really right time to having chit-chat, I replied with smirk.
Wow, you really got guts to say that to me. Varun said, Anyway just let's start.
Right now, I'm out of any plan how to beat this guy. I took down karan with consecutive blows, but that won't work on him again.
I have to face him head-on, with just raw strength.
In a fight with a strong opponent, one should:
Simple answer, take the hits from that guy, endure it, and go for his vital points such as joints.
A straight punch to my forehead, I stood lost in thoughts.
He really isn't holding back like Alok.
Damn, you really are coming with everything against a kid younger than you, I said.
You really think I would hold back like Alok, replied Varun.
No, you shouldn't, I replied.
You know, for the first time, I felt fear while facing Alok.
Yeah, you should, said Varun. He is way stronger than you.
But do you know? I said.
What am I feeling right now.
It's excitement, it's clear that you're stronger than me.
But it's really fun to test my own limits.
Hey Piyush, what if this kid is psycho? Varun teases.
What are you doing talking over there, come at me with your full force I said.
This kid really gone insane.
Anyway, here I come.
Consecutive punches, a bazare of punches were coming at me.
Strength more than Alok, he is slower compared to him. I can see them; there appears to be a pattern there.
So, you are bearing my punches; how long can you block, Varun said.
He does this in pairs until four punches are per hand and then continues the same hand again.
I can dodge, and I will counterattack.
Here it comes, his double punch. This time from left hand.
Stable, left feet, turn 360° around, using rotation hit his jaw with my right elbow.
The strike made him lose stance, giving an impactful blow.
Hey kid, varun speaking, uncomfortable holding his jaw.
You brat, going for jaw in just a street fight.
A low kick to his left feet.
That is what made him lose his balance. Now, the same bazare of punches, like Alok did.
But my hands hurt so much-sore, it hurts, hurts; finally, he, too, is down.
Its really exciting, I speak isn't it, I clearly surpassed my own limits. Now its only you left Piyush.
Whoa, Piyush! I was waiting for you guys to check is that kid still around Alok said.
But what's happening here, he really beat both Karan & Varun alone?
So finally you came Alok, I said loud, and I was waiting for you. You should be the last to open your mouth Krishanu, after beating my friends, Alok said. Piyush, I clearly said just to check him out but what's this, Why are you guys having fight here?
It was started by Karan and Varun, Piyush said. So why didn't you stop them, Piyush; you are stronger than both of them.
Piyush says in a low voice, It's because I wanted to test him about what you said yesterday, but they went too far. And it was climax. I was about to end this fight and bring all to you.
I'm sorry, but I don't regret it because I saw him clearly beating Varun. That kid really overcame his limits, do you know what he was saying while fighting.
He said he felt fear yesterday, but facing Varun, he was excited.
Really? Alok said. So anyway why did you want to meet me again kid? Because, I explained, I understood what you have said yesterday- reacting and responding.
I was acting only by reflex of my body, but you were responding, which means you did react. Not by body, but your mind forced to.
So, you clearly understand what I mean yesterday, Alok said. But why did you want to meet me again today?
It's because I want you to train me for it.
I got it, I applied it facing Varun, but that's not enough. I am not strong enough, and my muscles ache just by facing these 2 and from yesterday.
I'm weak. But I want to surpass you too, clearly I surpassed my limit now by applying what you said to me.
Fine, Alok replied. Where do you live?
About 5Km away from here, I said.
Meet me here at 5 Am here tomorrow, you will come by running. Alok said.
Your training starts tomorrow, but as for your muscle soreness, take hot showers and use ice packs.
Don't be late on your first day.
I will be on time here, thank you, I said.
