NERVE TACKER AND THE CHALICE OF DEMEANOURS
CHAPTER-12
THE FIGHT
Ramesh had called Harry but the reason was still unknown to anyone. Harry knew that Ramesh would not waste his precious time. On the other hand, Ramesh thought that if he would tell his plan to Harry then it was sure that Harry would not come to meet him.
Harry left London, along with Peter, at about 3 in the night (exact 30 minutes after Ramesh had called). It was still a suspense for both the friends but according to Harry's promise, Ramesh could meet him anytime whenever he needed. The 'Terms & Conditions' here were somewhat different. 'The reason Ramesh had called him should be fruitful.'
Ramesh was not able to sleep that night because something did not allow him to distract his mind. Harry and Peter left London without any security. In the same way, Ramesh left for college. A day has passed since Ramesh had a talk with Harry and Harry's aeroplane was going to land at about 12 in the noon.
Dussehra Maidan was one of the biggest grounds in Mumbai and was near IIT MUMBAI. Hardly anyone had seen that ground because that was all dusty and dirty.
On that day, Ramesh did not proceed to his college and he directly walked in the ground. It was now 12 in the noon and Harry's aeroplane had landed. This time too, they were provided with a guide for translation with other people. The guide called a cab and the driver inside asked them the destination.
"Kahan jaana hai sir apko?", he said.
"Sir, he is asking about the destination.", the guide translated.
"Oh! I was told Duss-he-hra Maidan.", Harry was not able to speak this word.
"Harry, It's wrong. It's Duss-e-hra. You are adding an unnecessary 'H' in between.", said Peter.
"Yeah! It's the same. The guide must have understood.''
"Yes, sir. You are talking about Dussehra Maidan. Am I right?", said the guide.
"Yeah, you are."
"Driver! Heads up to Dussehra Maidan."
"Sir, Hindi Please!"
"Dussehra Maidan"
It took about a minute to decide the correct name of the destination. Well, that wasn't the problem. The real problem was the traffic of Mumbai. It took about an hour for the friends to reach their destination. Meanwhile, they had some talks that were useless and for their time-pass.
In that period of time, Ramesh was standing still in the middle of the ground and did not move any of his limbs or body parts. He looked like any statue that was well-painted. His eyes were not open and he was concentrating on the same place.
When Harry reached that ground, it was peculiar and the situation was freak. Ramesh did not move at all, even at their arrival. Harry came near him (with Peter).
"That's a pleasure. I have seen you after years. You've grown up a lot.", said Harry in excitement.
"The time passes at a great speed.", Peter added.
"Ya!", Ramesh was not excited at all.
"Tell me the reason you called me."
"Sir, I need you to stand there (pointing at the corner of the ground), facing backwards. (To Peter) I don't want you to interrupt in between in any situation.", said Ramesh in an arrogant manner.
"We'll do it! But I warn you not to talk like that again.", said Harry.
Ramesh easily snubbed him by not giving any answer. Harry did not like his behaviour at all. He did what he said. No one was in the ground except the three of them.
Slowly, Ramesh opened the cloth of his hand and it was all muscular. Peter was astonished to see this but he dare not interrupt in between. Ramesh ran from the middle, towards Harry and probably, it was his first move after he stood there.
He kicked Harry with his full power and Harry was like 'what happened'.
Peter closed his eyes because he knew that Ramesh did not call Harry, he called his death.
Ramesh continuously attacked him with three of his limbs and he did not use that muscular hand. Harry was defending him. He did not want to hurt Ramesh. Whereas, Ramesh was hitting him with his full power.
Still, Leader London was defending him and moving backwards with every punch or kick. Peter's eyes were still closed. After a minute, Harry thought that Ramesh was at his extreme now. He now started attacking but not in an intention to kill him. Ramesh did not stop. He kicked him again at his back. It was extreme for Harry now. He now started fighting with him with his full power. His eyes had become red, ready to make a laser blast. Ultimately, he did not use that blast. He used his melting iron-arm. Ramesh chuckled. But Harry, continuously bet him a lot. Ramesh fell down and blood came out near his teeth. He thought that he's gonna be dead now.
"You thought, you'll fight with me. You've changed a lot, RAMESH BHATIA.", said Harry while taking a sigh.
Ramesh, still lying on the ground, was remembering his mother who would be waiting for him. If he dies, she would be left alone. Remembering her face, that was smiling and saying, " You cannot die. This is the time... Stand up for yourself. Show him, who you are. You've been hard-working till now. Show your hard-work and stand up. At least, for me."
It was all his thinking and gradually, he stood up and said, "Leader London. I've not changed." He relaxed his body and tried again.
He ran and Harry was now ready to kill him. In a fraction of a second, Ramesh used his muscular hand and Leader London used his iron hand. From the side view, it seemed terrible. It created such a huge wave that Peter (whose eyes were still closed) fell down. Harry and Ramesh were still and in a second, Harry fell too. On the other hand, Ramesh stood still in the same manner. Harry did not die.
After a minute, when Ramesh came back to his own world of thoughts, he thanked his mother. And then, he went to Harry to wake him up. Harry woke up but he was still in the mood of fighting.
"Sir, Calm down... It's me", said Ramesh.
"That's what. It's you.", said Harry.
"It was my plan, sir!"
"Why did you do that? I would have died. Then?"
"I knew sir, you cannot die. My hands are not as strong to kill you."
"Well, I hope, You didn't call me for a fight."
"Never, sir!"
"Why did you do that? Same question!"
"I wanna ask, am I eligible for the demeanour of HARD-WORK."
"What?"
