PART 21

{{RECAP:Kt and Sania become friends...Kt gets fever and comes back with Sneha from camp..Others also come back after the camp}}

******************After two weeks************************

The interdepartmental football tournament had begun.Laksh's department team(Abhir's team) and Eklavya's team (Kt's department) had reached the finals.Today the final match was going to be held.Both the teams were equally strong and were waiting eagerly to play their first match against each other…

Laksh and his team members were waiting in the changing rooms in their blue colour team uniforms..Their Captain Abhir came to them..

A:Guys..Eklavya's team is a very strong team and we have to play very wisely..Use all the tactics which our coach had taught us,but remember, only in the right places…

Everyone nodded their head in assent.

A:Ok..Now lets face it….BOYS..ARE YOU READY..??
All: YES!!

The whole team marched into the stadium and they stood in a row..Laksh looked at the place where Kt was sitting..She gave a thumps up to him and he smiled back at her..Eklavya's team also marched in and stood in a row opposite to them…Their uniforms were red in colour..
The captains shook their hands..And the game began..

The first half passed without scoring any goals since both the teams were equally strong..
During the halftime interval Kt and Sneha came to Laksh and Manthan since they hadn't wished them Good luck in the morning…Prachi had wished Neev from the home itself when she came with him in the morning..So she sat there itself saving the seats for Sneha and Kt..

K:Laksh..Uss Eklavya ko haraao…
L:(disappointed)But Kt..Woh log bhi bahut tez hai..Aur woh Eklavya bhi bahut acha player hai..
K:Khud par bharosa rakho Laksh..Sab teek hoga..Jeet ke aana..
L:(smiles)Thank you Kt..But Eklavya ki team tumhari department team hai na..Phir bhi..?
K: Kya farak padta hai..Tum uss team main nahin ho na.. (smiles)Main tumhare team ke saath hoon..
L:Thank you sweetheart..(and took her hand and held it closer to his chest)

Meanwhile Sneha went to Manthan

S:Manthan,All the best..
M:Thank you Sneha..Love you..(smiling)
S:(smiles)Love you too..

Sneha and Kt went back to their seats..Laksh felt a new excitement in his heart as he remembered Kt's words again and again.."Khud par bharosa rakho Laksh"….."Jeet ke aana"…….

But Eklavya had noticed these and he felt somewhat sure that Laksh and Kt were in love..He somehow felt disappointed and he was really angry at Laksh…

Soon the game started after the halftime interval..Laksh had the ball and he was dribbling the ball well and was making his way through the opponents and was heading to the opposie team's goal post…Suddenly out of nowhere someone snatched the ball from him and ran in the opposite direction with great speed…Laksh turned back and saw that it was Eklavya..He was greatly disappointed and ran after him..Soon he reached near Eklavya and was about to take the ball from him..But it was too late and Eklavya kicked the ball hard when Laksh reached for it.The ball went straight into the goal post and keeper couldn't catch it…GOAL

L:Ohh!!Damn it!!(sat in the ground on his knees, disappointed)
M:(comes to him and pats on the shoulder)Koi baat nahin Laksh..
L:(gets up and nods his head)Manthan, I will pay him back….

Laksh looked angrily at Eklavya who was surrounded by his cheering team members..Eklavya saw Laksh's face and he gave Laksh a thumps down and made a comical face at Laksh…
Laksh was really angry and he started to go for Eklavya..But Abhir came to him..

A:(stops him)Laksh..Yeh kya kar rahe ho..?Yeh ek match hai..Koi jung nahin..Isliye tumhe iska jawaab khelke dena hoga..I know that you can do it Laksh..Come on Laksh..Try to score…
L:Yeah..

The game resumed and soon Laksh got the possession of ball…Once more he was successful in dribbling his way through the opponents and he reached near the goalpost..Eklavya again came to him and tried to snatch the ball..But Laksh was ready for it..He kicked the ball hard and it went flying into the goal post..But Alas!!The keeper caught it…..

Laksh was really disappointed and he looked at Kt..Kt gave him a double thumps up and she mouthed "You can do it!!"…

K:(prays)Hey Bhagvaan.. please mere Laksh ko himmat dijiye..Uski madat kijiye please…

The match progressed and there was only 1 minute left for the match to end..Laksh thought "Its now or never!!If we didn't score now they will win..No!! "….And he ran as fast as he could to reach the ball…Eklavya was dribbling the ball and was heading towards the goal post…Laksh thought determinedly "No Eklavya..Not this time!!"…..Eklavya was going to kick the ball and Laksh took his chance and snatched the ball from him before he could even understand…Eklavya kicked foolishly and saw that the ball was not with him…There was a huge applause and cheers from the Laksh's team supporters….By the time Eklavya turned back Laksh had reached a great distance from him.Eklavya sweared loudly and ran back after Laksh…But Laksh had reached near the goal post and kicked the ball hard and he scored!!!GOAL……

All of the Laksh's team members came to him and hugged him tightly…Laksh felt really happy…The whistle was blown showing the end of the session…

A:Laksh..You saved us…Now we will get the extra time.
M:Yes..and we have to beat them in the next 30 minutes.
A:Well guys…We can do it….!!

They all stood in a round and held their hands together,raised them together and encouraged themselves….

The extra time game and started and the game progressed without any goals from the both teams…Both the teams were defending really greatly and both couldn't even reach the other goal post…Now there was only five minutes left..Neev was running as fast as he could with the ball and he was successful in evading the opponents and was nearing the goalpost..Suddenly one of the opponents came to him and snatched the ball and ran back quickly in the opposite direction…Eklavya was in the scoring position near the goalpost and he passed the ball to Eklavya..He was ready and he tried to kick the ball into the goalpost…But the keeper was quick for it and he kicked back the ball in the opposite direction…Laksh was ready for it and he dribbled the ball expertly and ran to the goal post…When he reached near the post two of the opponents came to prevent his progress..Laksh saw Manthan at the scoring position near the post….

L:(yells)MANTHAN….(and he kicked the ball in his direction)

Manthan took possession of the ball and kicked it…The ball flew straight into the post evading the waiting keeper and the much awaited GOAL was scored……The whistle blew just at that time notifying the end of the game…..

The crowd cheered and applauded with a great noise…..Laksh went and hugged Manthan tightly……..

L:We won Manthan…!!
M:Yeah Laksh(hugs him back)

Soon everyone came to the ground…Laksh and Manthan were surrounded with the team members and the supporters…..Laksh looked at Kt in between through the surrounding people..He could see her smiling happily at him and waving at him…He also waved back at her happily..
