I defeated him...


I came to a desert.....

The sun was scorching bright

I came across him.....the man of substance

And I.....I stared at him....

He showed me his sword.......the sword of honour

His eyes shone with victory and pride.....

His arms showed the strength of an experienced warrior

And I.....Istared at him.....

He showed his skills......the skills he learned from his victories

and defeats.....

He told me how weak I am....

He told me how inexperienced I am....

He told me I know nothing of the desert....

He told me how insane I am....

And I.....I stared at him....

He told me I have got no skills....

He told me I have got no technique....

He told me I am still a kid....

He told me he knows more than me.....


He told me everything through his silence.......his eyes......his soul....

And I....... I still stared at him.....


Then suddenly......he dropped his sword....

Then suddenly......he knelt down.....

He covered his face with his hands......

And the burning sand welcomed those few drops of saltish water....


I moved towards him.......knelt down.....

Touched his face.......lifted it up......and wiped his tears

He stared at me.......

And I...... I smiled


I defeated him...........
