RAJ was rushing... he
has an important race today... he's a part of a local racing team who always
loses to their rival team. Though he owns a Suzuki GSX R1000, no one in his team
is completely equipped to ride the beast, but their opponents had brilliant
riders of massive racer bikes.
As usual, SHOBHA
first sat on the Suzuki GSX R1000, started it majestically and then handed it
over to RAJ. Its an awesome scene to see saree clad 45 yr woman to start a
majestic race bike in a single click. When RAJ
was about to leave, NIDHI came
out of her house. She is a 28 year old woman living next to RAJ's house. It was
a Friday - she was dressed in a traditional saree with lot of bangles &
other ornaments. She also had puja materials as she was going to the Durga
temple. SHOBHA is a very good friend of her - as soon as SHOBHA saw her, she
asked RAJ to drop her at the temple. RAJ was Little hesitant as he was getting late for
the race, but he agreed for his mother. Moreover his bike is not very good for
a pillion rider as its a special race bike. But still he managed to take her. Nidhi
thanked Shobha for the favour. Raj was racing on the main road. Nidhi was slightly afraid & told him to go
slowly, but he told her "Aunty, this is a race bike, not the ordinary bike
- so better get used to these speeds with me". After sometime, they
stopped at a signal. As it went green, he was trying to start the bike, but it
did not start.... heavy horns were blowing...... traffic was getting accumulated....
traffic police who was some distance away started shouting... but he couldn't
even move the bike... he was simply screaming "Mom, pls save me"
because she is the one who is more expert in this bike. When everything went
against him, raj heard a voice "Get
down raj , i am there" raj knew his
mother has come like a Goddess to save him, but to his surprise it’s not her,
its nidhi aunty who is sitting behind. She gave her puja materials to raj,
adjusted her saree. tied it crossly, moved her bangles behind & sat on the
bike - she first brought the bike to neutral & then in 2 swift kicks, she
started the bike & asked Raj to sit behind , Raj was
just staring at her, then she shook him
up, roped him to the bike & zoomed ahead like a lightning, Raj was the witnessing his bike's capacity
being fully used for the first time. till now his mother was the ultimate start
for him, but now it’s no more, in the
next 2 mins, they reached the Durga temple.
nidhi just got her puja materials, thanked Raj & went inside. She completed her prayers,
when she was in the final darshan line, suddenly she felt something in her
legs.. She was shocked on seeing tha, . Raj just fell on her legs & cried, She quickly
lifted him up, applied some kumkum to him & told him not to cry. He told
his sad story to her & asked her for a favour.
she told "Favour from me, its my pleasure.Tell me Raj" He stammered...... "Au Au Au Aunty...
you should participate in the race for our team & save our pride... it’s
our request..." Suddenly some ten boys fell in her legs & screamed for
her word. they were his poor teammates. he called them & told the matter.
She hesitated first saying her husband will kill her, then seeing their sad
faces, she agreed. They went to the race
ground. the rival team was very much confident that they will win. Raj was riding
the bike till the ground. after a few initial races, the main final race came.
The rival team had their best guy on their best bike. he was wheeling &
showing various stunts.
Raj asked Nidhi to go
& handed over his bike, Nidhi came
forward. removed her bangles, necklace & chain in her legs & asked
Raj to keep it safely. then she cross tied
her saree & made it stiff, took her soft loose hair, tied it at the back
& put the flowers over her tied hair. now she sat gigantically on the bike The
rival team started laughing. "You
cowards can't race with us & brought a lady going on the streets to race
with our champion, see that she doesn't fall down the bike is very
heavy" Nidhi did not talk a word,
she just asked Raj to sit behind her .
Raj didn't even step back, he handed over all those materials to one of his
friends & sat behind her like a faithful servant. The race started The rival racer as usual started fast with a
lot of show off - but Nidhi was calm & steady, initially Raj's team mates also
doubted her skills, but Raj knew the truth, nidhi was lagging in the first 3 laps... then
came the last 2 laps... she started picking up, but was steady, the rival racer was over confident of his
skills, so reduced his speed & let Nidhi to overtake her in the 4th lap thinking
anyway he can beat her, but that is the
moment she showed her talent... from that point she just started zooming....
120...135...150.....180....220...250 and
so on.
Arun was holding her waist strongly & fell on her back.
this is the fastest speed he has experienced in his life. the rival racer lost
track of her completely . she was near the completion line
suddenly she lifted
the front part of the bike for a wheelie and they were almost at 90 degrees....
Raj was spellbound.... he closed his eyes
& started worshipping .... she
crossed the line just with the back wheel in a lavishing style.....
wow !!!!!!! all those
present there just could not believe their eyes... A new racer has come from
nowhere!!!!!!!!!
