Chp.21 Challenging the champion

Rahul woke up at 5.00 a.m. to find his alarm clock ringing. He peered at it through sleepy eyes then snoozed it and went back to sleep. Half an later, he woke up again, checking his watch he decided not to risk sleep again. Normally, he wouldn't wake up at this time, but today was different as he was planning a surprise for someone. He dragged himself out of bed throwing aside the blankets and went for a quick shower.

Rahul dressed and left. As he was strolling through the royal corridors, the sound of metal clanking against metal brought him to a halt. It was the chinking of swords from the adjoining swords room. Quite suddenly, an idea struck him. He went and spied through the window on the man practicing inside. He was tall and handsome. The angular planes of his chest and back and the flexing of his muscles with his every move made him look even more appealing. Rahul observed Armaan for a while taking in his strokes and counter strokes which Armaan did with considerable skill and tact. He weighed his moves properly. The way he ducked, confused the opponent and then striked back, made Rahul marvel. His brother was unbeatable just like before but he had sharpened his moves even more. Rahul watched on marvelling and gaping. After a while, they took a break of 2 minutes in which Armaan's opponent backed away to be replaced by a new one. Armaan took a piece of cloth and tied it on his eyes barring visibility. Rahul got the idea what his brother was up to. He swiftly went towards the door and before any of those standing there could say anything, he motioned them to remain silent. He went in and everyone just bowed as a gesture of paying their respects. Nodding to them he gave a silent tap to the person's shoulder that was not wearing a blindfold and was ready for the duel with Armaan. He turned and Rahul motioned him to pass the sword and move aside. He did as instructed and now Rahul took his place before Armaan. On the count of three, they began.

The blindfold did little to stop Armaan. He didn't find it difficult. He centred his concentration and made his every move look effortless and simple. His efficiency and accuracy left Rahul gaping and marvelling. His techniques being simple yet effective. Rahul used his star shots to retaliate but was always caught midway and smacked down. Armaan was surprised at the shot played by his opponent. This was a trick which no one in the palace knew save for 2 people. Armaan had taught this trick to him when he was just learning to swordfight but kept losing and was disheartened. But could it be him? It had to be him! But if it was him, it was a real pleasant surprise. Armaan decided to take him by surprise.

"You still haven't changed one bit, have you, kunwar Rahul?" Armaan asked out aloud still fighting.

Rahul couldn't believe his ears. He was totally dumbfounded. Despite not being able to see, Armaan's concentration was yet amazingly unflinching. He not only delivered the shots properly but also successfully blocked those aimed at him and delivered quick counter shots and at the same time he had guessed perfectly well which kind of a shot was aimed at him and by whom. For a moment, Rahul was bewildered and Armaan used that split second to defeat him. His speed, balance and timing were simply perfect.

"Bhaiya! Even you haven't changed, as usual using that fraction of a second to strike back and defeat your opponent," Rahul replied.

Armaan laughed keeping aside his sword and removing the blindfold. He moved towards Rahul taking him into an affectionate embrace.

"So champ, when did you return? No prior intimation?" he asked.

"Well Bhaiya, if I would have informed before then how would it be a surprise?" replied Rahul with a twinkle in his eye.

"Surprise sure it is! In fact a double surprise," said Armaan mischievously.

"Double surprise?" Rahul was puzzled.

"Well kunwar Rahul waking up so early in the morning? It's a surprise, right?"

"Yes that was a part of the surprise, but now that it's over and I still have an hour before breakfast, I'm planning to catch some sleep, but you?" asked Rahul stifling a yawn.

Armaan chuckled, "Fine then, go ahead, I'll go and meet Nikita and mom."

"Oh! I'll join you too then, I couldn't meet them last night," said Rahul. Armaan agreed and they decided to meet in Armaan's room in 10 minutes after getting dressed.

Nikita was sitting on the chintz armchair and reading when there was a knock on the door. Spotting Armaan she left her place to greet him. "Bhaiya, good morning. How was your trip yesterday? Heard you returned pretty late," she asked.

"The trip was fine but since my flight was delayed, I couldn't make it in time for the party," Armaan replied.

"Wonder what was the reason for the grand party," said Nikita.

"The reason is right here," Armaan grinned.

"Huh?" Nikita was confused.

"Yeah, just outside," Armaan replied confusing her even more. Nikita rushed out to see what it was but returned disappointed, "Bhaiya, stop kidding, there's nothing out there." She stood with her back facing him.

Armaan suppressed a laugh, "Really? But I had left it right there."

"I don't want to talk to you!" she replied. She felt a hand on her shoulder, "Are you sure?" That wasn't Armaan's voice!

She spun around and found herself facing Rahul. "Rahul! What a surprise. How are you? When did you return?"

Rahul took her into an embrace. He didn't know what to say. He was overwhelmed by emotions and a stray tear trickled down his face. He quickly wiped it away before Armaan or Nikita could see it. He just couldn't bear to see his sister like this. Her room, just like her attire, clearly depicted her misery. Everything from the curtains to the bed-covers, the walls to the floor, was done in pale and dull shades speaking loud and clear how dull and colorless her life was. The red roses, which Nikita loved so very much, were replaced by white ones the bright curtains were gone to be replaced by dull ones. She herself was a totally changed individual. He still remembered the day he had come for her wedding. She was so happy. Everyone in the palace had been rejoicing. The whole wedding had been a grand and fun-filled affair. Their mischief and naughtiness had made everything memorable. After her wedding, he'd left for Switzerland for his studies and then hadn't returned until today. The day when he had heard the heart wrenching news, he had been shattered. He had been preparing for his mid-terms then so he couldn't even attend the funeral. He released her of his embrace and asked in a croaky voice, "How are you Nikita?"

"I'm perfectly fine, but what's it with your voice?" she asked confused.

He cleared his throat and replied, "Oh nothing, that must be because of the sudden climate change."

Armaan silently watched on as his siblings continued to chat, understanding very well when they tried to hide an emotion and why and also occasionally joining in till they finally decided to go down for breakfast.
