“London Bridge Hospital” I told Sam when he asked me about the hospital I chose.
“Well buddy did you get an appointment with the doctor?”
“Yeah”
“Which doctor?”
“Jason Auld.”
“I simply hope that you come back to the training ground as soon as possible.”
I told the same thing to the doctor.
“Don’t worry young man you will make it… I assure you of that…” was the doctor’s reply.
“Oh thank you doctor thanks a lot…” Evie became emotional and tears rolled down.
“Doc please make it fast, I can’t wait to have him back in the ground” Sam said in his usual tone.
“So, coming Friday that is 5th of Feb we are having your surgery…” said the doctor.
“Ok” I replied.
It was late in the evening when Sam left us. Evie and I were alone in the house.
“Evie…” I called her.
“Yeah”
“That thing last night… I am sorry”
“Don’t be… it was mutual wasn’t it?”
“Mutual?”
“Yes it was mutual I had willingly done it…”
“After all this is over Evie….”
“Don’t say a thing….we will be together…”
“Thank you for everything you are doing for me…”
“Now now don’t start it all over again”
“Start what?”
“You naughty boy…acting as if you don’t know a thing…”
“Oh that thing…. I’d love to have it as many times as you would like.”
“Alright I give up… but see didn’t I tell you that everything would be alright?”
“You were right…”
“But let go of me now… I have to prepare dinner”
“Go you are free.”
She left…
After dinner we talked a bit and then we fell asleep…

Chapter 7: Free
“Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I’m leavin’ my life in your hands
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance…”
Such a beautiful song the car’s radio was playing…
“We are here Miroku…” Evie said as she got down from the car.
Now I wasn’t totally disabled, I could walk with support from Evie and Sam. Playing soccer was a far cry for me.
The club President was there when I went to meet him.
“Miroku, how are you feeling now?” as I entered the President’s room Mr. Bradshaw asked.
Bradshaw was the President. 50 years of age, with grey hair. My team mates call him Old dude.
“I am ok… you know that I must have a surgery immediately…don’t you?”
“I do know about it…”
“So, will you help me with that?”
“As you know Miroku … this damn recession is get to our nerves…we are having a hell lot of trouble maintaining this club….”
“So, I guess your answer is NO.”
“I am sorry but you have to understand our problem as well.”
“Ok then just pay the money that I was contracted for including image rights and other things…”
“That I can do but won’t that mean you would become free from our contract…. A FREE AGENT player.”
“I know…but I must have that money to do my surgery…”
“So, is this your final decision?”
“No doubt about that… I know what I am doing.”
“Alright here you go.”
Saying that he gave me my money and the required papers.
“Good Bye Mr. Bradshaw….”
Saying that I left the room, the club that had taught me so many things.
Just as Sam drove us out of the Club complex a black Volkswagen arrived.
I’m leavin’ my life in your hands
People say I’m crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance…”
Such a beautiful song the car’s radio was playing…

Chapter 6: Help from a Pal
“I am coming with you guys” Sam’s voice could be heard
“Thank you Sam…thank you very much…” Evie and Sam were talking in the drawing room.
“Don’t mention it Evie… I am glad that I can help you at this time.”
“Miroku must have woken up Sam, you sit here I am coming in a moment”
Evie came to my room.
“Sam tells he will go with us to the doctor Miroku…”
“That will be good”
Evie went to get ready and Sam came into my room.
“I will make that Taylor pay for what he did to you dude…I swear it…” Sam was really angry.
“Cool down Sam, don’t worry… next time I play him he won’t be able to touch me…”
“Look at what he has done to you. Your career could have ended.”
“I know that.”
“But Miroku, Evie told me that you will go to your club for financial matters do you think they will budge?”
“I hope they do”
“But dude our final exams are coming how are you going to pass if you don’t come to school??”
“Aren’t you there to get the notes for me?”
“Yeah I am but….”
“Stop thinking so much everything will fall in place…”
Sam kept on talking but I remembered about last night….man that was something. Never before did I feel that way for Evie…
“Sam everything will be alright…trust me…” I smiled
“What has happened to you dude… you are not the same person anymore…”
“You see last night….”
Evie came to the room. We saw each other. She blushed.
“Yeah last night??” Sam asked.
“No nothing….nothing to amuse you…” I stammered out these words.
I got ready and left for my club.
“Thank you Sam…thank you very much…” Evie and Sam were talking in the drawing room.
“Don’t mention it Evie… I am glad that I can help you at this time.”
“Miroku must have woken up Sam, you sit here I am coming in a moment”
Evie came to my room.

I got ready and left for my club.
Chapter 5: Hope
“Miroku, I have brought some noodles for you and myself…let’s eat together” Evie said as she entered the room.
“Oh yeah sure…” I hid the picture.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“No absolutely not…”
“You are…”
“Ok then I will tell you…”
“Let’s talk while eating”
“I was thinking about my parents while looking at their picture.”
“Miroku, don’t think of that fateful incident please… it will only make you sadder…”
I couldn’t talk anymore.
That night I went to sleep with only one thing in mind that…I must have the surgery and again train hard to regain my former playing level.
“Are you asleep Miroku?” Evie spoke.
“No… not yet”
“Don’t lose hope….everything will be alright… I am with you…”
“You are with me…” those words of Evie said it all.
I held her close to me and the whole night we spent by showing our love for each other… we did all that would make a soft-core porn film but unlike the actors… we had real feelings backing us… real emotions…
“Evie thank you for everything”
“Don’t say a thing…” we kissed again…
That night I became so close to her that… I thought really if she was with me then nothing would be impossible. It was as if hope was rekindled in my heart…
“Evie I have decided… tomorrow I am going to meet the doctor but before that I will talk to the club officials…”
“I will go with you…”
“Thanks again Evie”
And the whole night we spent clinging to each other.
“Oh yeah sure…” I hid the picture.
“Are you hiding something from me?”
“No absolutely not…”
“You are…”
“Ok then I will tell you…”
“Let’s talk while eating”
“I was thinking about my parents while looking at their picture.”
“Miroku, don’t think of that fateful incident please… it will only make you sadder…”
I couldn’t talk anymore.

“Evie I have decided… tomorrow I am going to meet the doctor but before that I will talk to the club officials…”
“I will go with you…”
“Thanks again Evie”
And the whole night we spent clinging to each other.
Chapter 4: Hollow
“Miroku the doctor said you can’t play soccer for 4 months…” Evie said as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Don’t cry…I am alright…” I replied
“I can see you are not alright okay… I can clearly see that…”
Saying that she hugged me and I didn’t know how to respond to that.
“Miroku, I love you and I can understand what you are going through right now.” More sobs from Evie
“I am ok now… really…”
“But still you ran the risk of….”
“Don’t think about it anymore… perhaps now I can give you more time…”
“I would love you to be on the pitch than at home…I know what your dream is”
My Dream….I had no words to reply to that.
“I have taken leave from school for a few days to look after you.”
“I can do that myself… you should go to school.”
“No I am not leaving you… I am not going to school and that’s final…”
Saying that she left the room and went to the kitchen.
I looked at the picture of my parents… the frame was on the table beside my bed. It has been a year since my parents had passed away in a plane crash… from that day I immersed myself into soccer so that I could forget about that incident but fate has brought me face to face with that incident again…
“How are you feeling today dude?” Sam’s voice astonished me and I quickly hid the picture under the blanket.
“I am alright Sam but tell me did we win the match??”
“Yeah we did win the match thanks to those 2 goals by you and later a third goal by Paul.”
“You surely raised my spirit buddy….thanks for that.”
“Don’t mention it… you are the one who should be thanked.”
After some time when Sam left, I again brought out the picture of my parents. Father always dreamt that I would grow up to be a great footballer… that dream has always been my own after father passed away… I trained hard in rain and snow with my buddies…night and day I played.
In the morning for my school and at night for 2nd division club Macclesfield town. I earned money on my own by playing soccer…but how good can a 2nd division club offer for my surgery?
“So is it all over for me… everything…my trainings… all were in vain…can I never achieve my dream?” tears rolled down my cheek.
“Don’t cry…I am alright…” I replied
“I can see you are not alright okay… I can clearly see that…”
Saying that she hugged me and I didn’t know how to respond to that.
“Miroku, I love you and I can understand what you are going through right now.” More sobs from Evie
“I am ok now… really…”
“But still you ran the risk of….”
“Don’t think about it anymore… perhaps now I can give you more time…”
“I would love you to be on the pitch than at home…I know what your dream is”

Chapter 3: The Match
“Folks this is the much awaited match...yeah you can call this the match of the season….” Alan Green was starting the commentary.
“It’s the clash of the irresistible force and the immovable object…” added Stuart Hall.
“That was well said… good job guys” Sam was brimming with excitement.
“Yeah dude…we are the irresistible force” now Max joined Sam.
“Maxie…do me proud…my boy” Max’s mother Mrs. Jones shouted from the stands
“Oh mommy why can’t you stop embarrassing me like that” Max was going red.
“Hey Maxie!!” a girl shouted this time.
“Jamie! You came to watch my match…” Max was astonished.
“Let the match end Maxie…”
“Oh Yeah there’s no turning back now”
“Save up your excitement sweetie”
Now Max was blushing.
“(Sound of the referee’s whistle)”
The match got underway.
“This is my last year in this school and I will give the trophy to my school as a parting gift” I thought to myself.
“Let’s do it Miroku” my fellow striker Paul said.
I touched the ball with my feet and Paul sent it back to the midfielders. Alex got the ball and we started our usual passing game.
“Here we go… Orange High boys have started their passing game again…” Alan Green commented
“It’s Sam. Now Max. Max to Alex…Highlands boys are really having a tough time out there” Stuart Hall added to his partner’s comment.
“It looks like Highlands School is going to take a real battering today”
The ball was with Sam.
“Sam” I waved my hand.
Sam was in the centre of midfield then and I straight in front of the penalty box with none other than Taylor as my marker.
Sam launched the ball and it crossed the midfield and landed in front of me. A perfect pass. I looked around and saw Taylor he was aiming for my feet.
“I won’t let you do that” I told myself.
I got the ball in my control and stood my ground. Taylor’s “much dreaded” legs were nearing me. I pushed the ball in front and jumped. Taylor missed my leg and the ball too.
“You can’t catch me buddy…you simply can’t…” I told Taylor as I went ahead.
The goalkeeper seemed to be nervous. It was one on one, me against him. I aimed for the top left corner. Goalkeeper noticed it. But I still took my shot.
“1-0 to Orange High…” an excited Alan Green shouted to the equally excited audience.
“30 minutes on the clock… 15 minutes to go for Half-time can Highlands School Bounce back or will Miroku add to their misery…” Stuart Hall made the picture clear.
“Damn you… scum… you ain’t escaping next time…” Taylor grumbled.
“Fuck off!” Sam was quick to react.
The match went on for the 15 minutes without any team coming close to score a goal. We got a corner but Paul’s miscued corner was easily dealt with.
“Miroku, you surely taught that Taylor a lesson” coach sounded very happy.
“I just did my job coach”
“If you go on doing this my boy, Arsene will surely give you a contract.”
“Arsene?!”
“My boy… Wenger himself has come to see your match… he has spoken to me.”
Half-time break was over and I was going to the turf with only one thing in my mind….
“It’s time for the 2nd half folks… both teams are on the field and Highlands School is now attacking from right to left.” Alan Green made everyone aware of that fact.
“So the final day of the season has reached its final half…who will take the trophy this year??”
“Orange High….”came the unanimous reply from the audience.
“Arsene Wenger came to see my match…” I thought about the coach’s words.
Referee got the match underway by blowing the whistle.
The Highlands boys had surely got some tough words from their coach. They seemed to have found their rhythm in play and craft in passing.
“It’s a different Highlands team that we see folks…” All Green summed up the situation.
“But the clock is ticking away…can they still find the equalizer?” Stuart Hall responded to his partner.
“No they can’t, I won’t let them…” I said as I looked for someone in the crowd.
Sam won back the ball from Mathews the Highlands Striker and passed it to Alex. Paul had already started his run on the wings. Alex passed it to Paul and we eyed each other.
“This time you are not escaping…” it was Taylor.
“Yes I am” I responded.
I made my run and met with Paul’s aerial pass…
“Now you go in” I said to myself as I headed the ball.
The ball went in but I felt a terrible pain in my right leg…I couldn’t get up…tears were automatically streaming down my cheeks…
“Was I caught by Taylor’s sliding tackle as I got down after heading the ball?” I thought to myself.
“Who has the last laugh now Miroku?” Taylor was grinning.
“Back off Taylor” Sam ran up to the penalty box.
“Taylor clearly fouled him ref…show him red ref…” Max told the referee.
“Show him the red ref show him the red” our full squad shouted.
The ref showed red but I couldn’t play on, he had indeed “ripped my leg apart”. A thought crossed my mind as I was stretchered out of the field…
“It’s the clash of the irresistible force and the immovable object…” added Stuart Hall.
“That was well said… good job guys” Sam was brimming with excitement.
“Yeah dude…we are the irresistible force” now Max joined Sam.
“Maxie…do me proud…my boy” Max’s mother Mrs. Jones shouted from the stands
“Oh mommy why can’t you stop embarrassing me like that” Max was going red.

Chapter 2: Matchday
“I heard that she is staying with you…is it true?” Sam asked
“Yeah”
“You are one lucky chap”
“Lucky?”
“You idiot it’s a girl who is staying with you…imagine what not you can do”
“What can I do?”
“You are a lost case…whatever let’s focus on the match now, a win today and this year’s title is ours”
“Don’t worry we will win this together…after all this is our last year in school”
“We are gonna beat the hell out of those Highlands suckers”
“Hello there boys” it was our coach Mr. Adams “are you guys ready for the match?”
“Yes” we all shouted.
“Miroku come over here” Mr. Adams called me to his room.
“Yes Coach?”
“You know right… that Taylor guy”
“Yeah”
“He is a mean customer….he won’t flinch from using his much dreaded legs on you”
“I know that”
“I just want you to be safe… don’t give him any scope”
I went back to my team mates. An hour or two was left before the match.
“There is someone waiting for you Miroku” Ms. Shelly our Medic called me.
“Sam told me about that Taylor guy… please be safe…don’t overdo it” Evie was worried.
“Don’t worry…”
“If you win today I will give you something…or rather…”
“Rather???”
“Forget it….concentrate on your match….you must win it…”
“I will”
Time for the match arrived. We all headed for the tunnel.
“Miroku…” it was the voice of Matt Taylor.
“Taylor…”
“I am going to rip apart your leg today!!!”
“Best of luck for the match”
I left Taylor and stood with my mates. The lads were all pumped up. So was I.
“Yeah”
“You are one lucky chap”
“Lucky?”
“You idiot it’s a girl who is staying with you…imagine what not you can do”
“What can I do?”
“You are a lost case…whatever let’s focus on the match now, a win today and this year’s title is ours”

I left Taylor and stood with my mates. The lads were all pumped up. So was I.
Chapter 1: Pre-match
“Mate tomorrow is our match…” my pal Sam shouted from the other side of the road.
“I know Sam… we are gonna win that” I shouted back and started to walk.
“Wait up dude…wait for me I am coming” the signal changed and Sam started crossing the road.
Sam and I have been friends from Middle School and we are together in High School too. Both of us play for our school in the Sunday league.
“Why are you in such a hurry pal?” Sam asked.
“Why do you ask?”
“See dude I know that this girl of yours is quite demanding…So is she coming to the match tomorrow?”
“Yeah”
“Then you have got your hands full…you have to make us win the game tomorrow”
“You are also playing aren’t you?”
“Of course I am”
“So you should be equally responsible”
“That I am dude…but who else gets a chance to play the poacher in front of one’s girl friend…”
“I know my role tomorrow”
“Opponents fear you man, they know how destructive you can be in front of goal”
“Old man has already told me that”
“Alright then it’s Adios for now”
“Okay Bye”
Sam left. I was walking alone. I came at the entrance of Alexandra Park School and stood by the tree in front of the school gate.
“Miroku” it was Evie’s voice.
Evie is my girlfriend. We are in a long standing relationship. She was the most beautiful girl in her school. Most of the boys craved for her physical attributes rather than anything else. That is quite natural with boys. But apart from her feminine characteristics i liked her eyes. Those brown eyes of her spoke volumes about her. Many a times I spent gazing at them. We used to hang out with each other a lot before our relationship began. During one such occasion, she caught me staring at her. She was used to it. Every boy of the area liked to gaze upon such beauty. But their viewpoint and mine were different. Maybe Evie understood that and that's why she chose to be with me.
“Hi!” I greeted her.
“Let’s go Miroku.” She said as she gently pulled my arm.
“Where?” I asked.
“To your home of course” She replied.
“Oh!”
“I have something to tell you today.” Anxiety clear in her tone.
“Go on,” I said carelessly.
“Mind if I stay with you from now on?”
“Stay with me?” I was startled at her question.
“Yeah...you know right…the living together and all that…will you not let me stay with you?” Her tone became more anxious.
“I don’t have any problem…” I said.
“That’s Great…that is why I love you so much!” Evie's tone became overjoyed at my reply.
She kissed me on my cheeks and we went back home together.
“I know Sam… we are gonna win that” I shouted back and started to walk.
“Wait up dude…wait for me I am coming” the signal changed and Sam started crossing the road.
Sam and I have been friends from Middle School and we are together in High School too. Both of us play for our school in the Sunday league.
“Why are you in such a hurry pal?” Sam asked.
“Why do you ask?”
“See dude I know that this girl of yours is quite demanding…So is she coming to the match tomorrow?”
“Yeah”
“Then you have got your hands full…you have to make us win the game tomorrow”
“You are also playing aren’t you?”
“Of course I am”
“So you should be equally responsible”
“That I am dude…but who else gets a chance to play the poacher in front of one’s girl friend…”
“I know my role tomorrow”
“Opponents fear you man, they know how destructive you can be in front of goal”
“Old man has already told me that”
“Alright then it’s Adios for now”
“Okay Bye”
Sam left. I was walking alone. I came at the entrance of Alexandra Park School and stood by the tree in front of the school gate.
“Miroku” it was Evie’s voice.
Evie is my girlfriend. We are in a long standing relationship. She was the most beautiful girl in her school. Most of the boys craved for her physical attributes rather than anything else. That is quite natural with boys. But apart from her feminine characteristics i liked her eyes. Those brown eyes of her spoke volumes about her. Many a times I spent gazing at them. We used to hang out with each other a lot before our relationship began. During one such occasion, she caught me staring at her. She was used to it. Every boy of the area liked to gaze upon such beauty. But their viewpoint and mine were different. Maybe Evie understood that and that's why she chose to be with me.
“Hi!” I greeted her.
“Let’s go Miroku.” She said as she gently pulled my arm.
“Where?” I asked.
“To your home of course” She replied.
“Oh!”
“I have something to tell you today.” Anxiety clear in her tone.
“Go on,” I said carelessly.
“Mind if I stay with you from now on?”
“Stay with me?” I was startled at her question.
“Yeah...you know right…the living together and all that…will you not let me stay with you?” Her tone became more anxious.
“I don’t have any problem…” I said.
“That’s Great…that is why I love you so much!” Evie's tone became overjoyed at my reply.
She kissed me on my cheeks and we went back home together.
