                                                             Basketball Champion
Dilip was so happy to get his thoughts clear. He was working so hard to get his thoughts in perfect way. He just looked at basket. He sensed just power from inside. He knew that he would make goal. He felt it when that energy jumped out of his body. His energy of moving ahead and winning!! He knew that now no one could stop him. He just ran managed to make first goal. It was really wonderful. He could hear screams of his parents. He was so happy from heart. He could hear his team was cheering for him. He sensed one thing that he made last goal so they win. He was always champion of basketball. He was proud of it. He went in audience.  He began to smile and get friendly. He knew that he must smile or people thought that he was snob. It always worked. Every one would be his good friend. Of course except few jealous people. But they didn't matter on long run. He sat with his parents. Then suddenly Sunny appeared with his friends. Sunny " Have you asked about cinema?" Dilip remembered. Dilip " No..No.. Mom..Dad can I go to movie?" Mom" When?" "Today..please please Mom..I just forgot to mention it. It will be in evening. I will return before 9 o'clock." "Stop lying. I know you will not return before 12 o'clock. You did same thing last time. I just remain awake whole night." "Sorry Mom this time we will return on time." Sunny " Please Auntie. We will not do that." Dad " Come on. Let them be free. You can go." Dilip was happy but he knew that if he went away on father's permission. He would hurt his Mom's feeling so he did just final act. "Mom please. I just love to watch this movie. It is about some basket ball player." Sunny " Not basket ball. Foot ball." Dad" Now just ball is enough. Come on honey say yes. You are hurting every one's feeling by no. Come on. Let him go then we can also enjoy a nice date." Slowly his Dad started loving at his Mom with romance. Mom " Okay okay and now cut that drama." Dad " Come on. Why don't you understand my true love?" " Ohh..you feel I have married you without realizing it." Every one started laughing so finally Dilip got his permission and went away with his friends. It was his lucky day. He got every thing he wanted. Any way since he became basket ball player. His every day was lucky day. He just had one tension that was of his examination but they were not near so he was happy and top of the world. In fact he just gave his 10th examination. His all paper went perfect. He was little tense regarding results. But he just kept thinking about basket ball and he started to relax. In fact they all just planned to go to movie just to reduce tension. So they all started talking about movies. They started searching for proper theater and time. There was big argument regarding it. But finally they decided one mall and multiplex. They decided to go for 3 o'clock movie. No one wanted to be late in home. Last time they had so much problem in getting Auto. They all went in theater. They were lucky to get proper tickets. So they went to watch movie which began in perfect way.
     Dilip enjoyed that movie but it was sad one. That hero lost ability to play. When they went out, Sunny said " I feel so sad. Did it scare you Dilip?" " No. Not at all. It is just movie." Dilip smiled. He knew that it would never happen to him. He knew that he would keep playing basket ball. That game had wonderful charm inside it. He was specialist in case of game. He was so happy even after movie. Then their results were came out. He was so happy since every thing turned in the way he wanted, He got good marks. He was so happy. His parents were so happy. They now started searching for proper college. Those colleges which they were searching was good one. They finally manage to get nice college. So Dilip was happy to those marks and his results. He managed to go to that wonderful college. He was so happy. He liked going to that college. Those college would start to show those effect in life. But then college which would had perfect look. He asked about college to every one. He was so happy. He began to study that college. He liked that college from heart. He managed to get every thing just suitable for his college life. He made whole list of it. Sunny came with him. Sunny was little nervous. " Dilip it is okay for you. You are basket ball champion. Every one will accept you. After all they wanted to win those matches. But in case of me I am just nothing." "Come on. Nothing like that. You are great person. When you talk with people, you just impress any one. You can make friendship with every one. Just like you made with me. You will get many better and intelligent friends. You need to understand on every step. We need to help each other. I will start with that team. When I will make friendship with them.." Sunny smiled. " I got it. I will join you. You are such great fellow." Dilip smiled. He liked Sunny. Sunny was always so helpful to him. Dilip " You managed those friends. If you didn't it will be so hard to keep them." Dilip said it with honest heart. Sunny always managed to get things as Dilip's choice with help of his talking skills. Sunny was such a good help. Sunny also liked this idea so they both settled many plans regarding how did they were managing to every thing in college. It was perfect plan so they both went in college.  Every thing was perfect in their dreams. But as soon as they entered in college every thing seemed different. But still they kept enjoying themselves. Then finally Dilip decided to inquire about basketball. It turned out that college had excellent team of basketball. Dilip was so happy. When he entered in basketball court, he was so pleased. He started playing his best. But they all seemed so excellent. He was sure about his lucky charm but soon he sensed that he was not winning. He worked hard and finally he managed to make one goal. Coach gave him okay in trials and he was selected for basket ball training. But one thing was sure that it was hard for him to enter in team. Then he looked around when he managed to make goal no one was clapping for him except Sunny. It all was so wrong. He was not champion but worst was that he was not even admired. Then finally it was over. When he was about to go out. coach stopped him. Coach " Don't feel nervous. You are not coward. Be a man. Come tomorrow I don't just one goal. I want some thing more. I just get those boys who play like tortoise. You are slow like one. In fact you are just burden on team today. I give you chance since you don't got training so come on time from tomorrow." Dilip nodded. Sunny came near him. Sunny " My god. This college is horrible. They didn't even respect you." Dilip smiled, " It is okay. I will do good on tomorrow. Just watch me." Dilip smiled. Sunny was so impressed by his talking. That day when Dilip came home, first time he felt that his walls were too crowded by basket ball stars. He decided to remove their pictures. He slowly kept few and removed many. He kept them safely in cupboard. He decided that he would use them if they were needed. He went to his college work after that.
    Dilip started to go college every day. But he started to adjust with all. He began to go for training every day. Slowly every thing came back to normal. He was facing competition but soon he managed to make name as basket ball player. Sunny was so happy. He started to make friendship in college and he managed many. One day Dilip went to basket ball. He started playing with full confidence. He was so sure that he would make goal. He could sense that confidence. He was about to throw when suddenly other player screamed from behind. It managed to confuse him. He started to throw but ball missed. Every one started looking at him with anger. He tried again. This time he managed. But when finally practice was over. Every one was upset with Dilip. They were all saying that Dilip get confused when he heard noises from behind. He started to understand that he was not enough for that team. But Sunny started convincing them. Sunny's skilled worked and he got chance. Dilip was happy that he was back in team. But at same time he started feelings hurt. It was clear that he had lost his charm. He wanted to understand to become best again. Sunny came near him. Sunny " Come on. Such things happen you will get over it. You just needed more practice. Black patch is common between career of people. You need to find your mistake." Dilip nodded while hiding his tears. He sensed one thought from mind. He needed first time help from Sunny. Sunny used to take his help on every day. He managed to convince his coach and went home as soon as possible. It was so hard for him. But then he truly managed to get better. He was once again that charm of team. Every thing was normal again. Still he had to work so hard. There were lots of team members who hated him. He just missed his school team where no one was hating him. His life was perfect in that team. But here he had to work hard. His parents sensed it. One day they talked with him. They told him that every grown up needed to fight and get things. He was grown up now so he had to do his fight. He agreed and nodded. He was peaceful at mind. One day he once again went to movie with college friends. It was nice romantic movie. He enjoyed it. He never felt any sorrow during that day. In fact he felt that every thing was finally turning in perfect way. Then he went to peace. He had that scary nightmare for first time. In it he was riding a bike which suddenly slide on bridge and he got hurt. He wanted to move away. But still a truck managed. He could sense those horrible pain on that road. He tried to move but he couldn't. He saw that truck before him. That truck didn't stop. He tried his best to scream. But that truck just kept coming. It was so hard. He just kept screaming on top of his lung. When he heard voices of his parents, he came out of that nightmares. He was shivering and bathed in sweat. First time he did was to confirm that his leg was on proper place. It was on that place. He could see every thing was fine. Still fear of that dream remained attached to him. He felt as if he had some intuition regarding whole thing. But then he came to his senses. Mom " What happened?" He gave nice smile. " Nothing Mom just nightmare." Every one looked relaxed. But his parents sensed that his sheets were too wet due to his sweat so they decided to change it. They changed every thing. He went in bathroom and changed his dress and washed his face. He went peacefully to sleep this time. He just sensed that it was nothing but one nightmare.
    Dilip went out next day. He did his best to forget that nightmare. But he was so confused. He had watched that movie long time ago but he was having it's effect on his world. Then Sunny called him. It was time for practice but he was not doing great. He had to go on field. As soon as he went there, he started to feel his natural charm from heart. He began to play. He did every thing in such perfect way. He was not scared. He sensed one thing that when he was on stadium, he was no longer scared. He was so happy from his heart. He managed to get more goals today. It seemed that his charm had returned. He was so happy. He just felt that every thing was back to normal. He did every thing as he used to do in school. He went back home. He started doing home work when he heard a horn. He looked down. He was so shocked to see same truck. He was so scared that he started to sense that fear. He felt as if that truck could really hit him. But any way he went back to sleep. He started sleeping peacefully on his bed. He went to sleep nicely. But then once again that dream started. He began to play on playground. He was playing it peacefully. Then suddenly he started to sense some thing was wrong. Suddenly wall broke and once again that truck came, he wanted to run but that truck was too fast once again he screamed. He was so confused when he woke up. This time his parents were serious and nervous. Dad " What is wrong with you?" " How did I suppose to know? If I can guess then why shall I keeping screaming like that in nights?" Mom " Just relax. Go and change your clothes." " No need Mom. How many times did I change my clothes? I can sense it might happen on every night." Dad " Nonsense. Any way you can't sleep in those wet clothes go." He once again went in bathroom and took bath. Once again he went on bed. He was surprised to sense that due to that hot water once again he felt sleep and he managed to go to sleep. But when he woke up, he sensed one thing. He couldn't go on like that he needed solution. He felt so happy when he sensed that his parents seemed to agree with him. Dad " I feel we need solution on your nightmare." " I feel it was due to that movie." Then he told them all. Mom " I was telling you not to go to that movie. But no one listen to me." Dad angrily " How did I suppose to know all those details about it?" "Mom it was suspense and I went on first show. No one knows story line. We loose movie on last moment. You suggested that we must come early so it was perfect picture." Dad "So you are also getting blame for it?" " But I did it for his good." Dad " And I did it for is bad?" Dilip " Now stop fighting. I need help." Mom " I know one psychiatrist." "Mom psychiatrist? People will call me mad." Dad " Who else can cure you? Any way people are not going to know this. You will be just fine before you know." Dilip " No Dad..Mom.. give me some time. I feel I can become fine." Mom " Okay. I give you a month. If you will be okay, then we can ignore it." Then Mom turned to Dad for agreement who also nodded. On that point Dilip smiled. He felt that it would be easy. He would find some solution with help of Sunny. He never sensed that it was so hard. He was sure that he would turn every thing in right way as he always did in his life.
    When Dilip started thinking about finding solution first name came in his mind was of his best friend Sunny. Sunny was his guardian angel. He helped him to survive in college and it turned out perfect. Now he needed another help from that friend was best. Dilip ran to him. But Sunny was surrounded friends like he normally did. Sunny was hero for every one. He was best adviser so every one wanted to talk with him. Dilip sensed that he needed to talk alone with his friend. Dilip called him. Sunny gave big smile Sunny " Sorry my basket ball star is here. I want to talk to him. You all must leave." He said it in such ways that every one went away with smile. Sunny " So what is the problem?" He told him all. Sunny " My god!! You are telling me that you are getting scared every day due to that film. After so many days. It is strange." "Of course. But I am getting those dreams. I mean it. They are scaring me every day." Sunny " But you are playing so well then why did you dream like that. I mean you are not tense about any thing. Are you?" " No. I am fine." "Can I tell you one thing? Do as your parents say. I mean getting those dreams after so long doesn't make sense." Now Dilip was upset. He wanted some solution. Dilip " You are just jerk. Once you use to be understand my foot and now you are on my head so you are calling me mad. I just wish I have never put you on my head. I mean foot wear is not suppose to go on head. Do they?" Sunny was shocked. Sunny " This is too much. I just wanted to advise. You called me so inferior. I never thought you think about me this way. " Sunny wanted to hide his tears. But he couldn't so he just ran away. Dilip sensed that he acted in most wrong way. He ran after Sunny to stop him. But then Sunny was with other boys. Once again he was pretending to be normal. Dilip sensed one thing . That Sunny might became normal but he was not normal. He started crying in classroom when his teacher came in. She sat near him. " Dilip just tell me what happened?" Dilip was not comfortable to tell all. But then she called Sunny. She asked Sunny who was angry. But when she convinced him that Dilip needed their help. Finally Sunny calmed down. Sunny told every thing to her. Dilip was so angry about it. But then he thought after what he did with Sunny. It was justifiable. That teacher came back to Dilip. " Dilip just try to understand. You can't go on like that. Today you talked with Sunny your best friend this way. Can you tell why?" Dilip " Since I am evil person." "No..No.. but since you are not getting reasonable sleep. It is making you tired and you are throwing fits of anger on every one. You need a sleep and you will get it only when you stop dream so do as your parents said." Dilip nodded and on that day finally he agreed to go to psychiatrist. He just never thought that lack of two days sleep could make so much effect on him. Then they went to psychiatrist. They had to wait which was most horrible thing for Dilip since he didn't want any one to see him. Finally his number came. Dilip told every thing. Dilip " So I am getting angry due to lack of sleep." Psychiatrist laughed " You have not slept for two days. It is not your trouble. Your trouble is your ego." "My ego?" " Now no need to feel so guilty. Every one have one. But your ego got hurt due to your failure in college so you started to find some way to take out that frustration and you used that fear which planted by your friends during that film on you to take it out. Actually you are just nervous regarding surviving your college life. It is quiet common." "So what do I need now?" " Nothing. Just little bit counseling will reduce your depression which turned in to anger. I will do that and your parents are paying me for it. So let's start talking." Dilip talked with psychiatrist. They felt going for few months then slowly nightmares were stopped. But sad thing was that Dilip and Sunny no longer remained that good friends. Dilip didn't mind it since he knew deep down at heart. He never considered Sunny as his equal so it was better stop pretending their friendship. After that they both went ahead in their life in separate ways. Dilip never wanted Sunny back. Sunny managed to find new friends. So every thing went ahead very well for both friends.
