Journey Of Foe To Friend

“Raghav, you are selected as sports representative for the coming inter-college sports event”, an announcement that shook Samrat.

“How can they do this? I am a regular and passionate performer, just a minor accident can’t take away my dream to be a sports representative of the college”, thought Samrat, pacifying himself and looking at Raghav in savage.

That year Samrat did not participate in any event though questioned a lot by his professors and coaches. He excused himself saying, “I am sick, and not fit to participate”, much in irony.

Though college received few trophies, this was surely not the best year in the sports area. Raghav who was unknown to Samrat’s envy, very casually walked to him in a library to have a chat with him where Samrat’s rude behavior made him think what the matter was.

When Raghav asked about it to Samrat’s friends, he came to know that Samrat considered the sports field as his home and considered Raghav as an intruder who snatched away all his dreams.

Raghav decided to bring back Samrat’s confidence as a sports player for the next national sports meet. He talked with the committee and respective authority for the changes, and all agreed to Raghav’s suggestion. When news broke out to Samrat, that Raghav suggested his name; he thought “how foolish I was who measured him as a foe, wherein reality a foe turned friend for his life.”

Hugging Raghav, Samrat whispered, “it’s nostalgic to stand in the ground once again, with my new friend and we shall deliver electric performance to win all events”

“Welcome home Samrat”, Raghav gave him hi-fi.
