The Champ

As I woke up, I realized it was a blessing in disguise, not for a moment I thought it would be my weakness or things might turn out bad for me.

I was feeling a lot lighter than usual.

I was thinking of running again but it wasn't going to be easy.

My mother and father were crying before me, but not a single drop of tear came from my eyes.

Colleagues and friends were visiting me one after the other with flowers and fruits but they didn't know what to speak or how to console me.

I myself was mum for at least 3 weeks.

My bike was parked outside I could see it every day from my window but might not be able to ride it anymore.

Doctors were saying it's safe now, the infection has been removed completely but there will be some side effects because of the heavy dosage of medicines.

They were insisting me to attend counseling every week from now onwards.

After listening and seeing all this I was trying to hold my nerve but then too I couldn't, my life has suddenly turned upside down in the last one month. 

Thinking of all this I burst into tears. This was the first time I am crying after my operation.

I am feeling powerless and feeble. 

I won't be able to run anymore.

Forget about running I am not able to walk properly.

Just when I felt everything has ended for me... 

One man came towards me, my guru, kept his arm on my back and said "No issue CHAMP, one leg or no legs, for me, you will still be the fastest sprinter on the planet.

Now it's enough, stop crying and wipe your tears... we have a lot of things to do in order to get a gold in Paralympic games Tokyo. It's time to make our country proud again."  

Once a Champion always a Champion...
