Rudra also went ahead of all the other bikes while chasing Number Eleven. As soon as he went ahead of everyone, he increased the speed of his bike to full speed and started chasing Number Eleven. One thing that even Rudra had accepted for the time being was that Number Eleven’s style of riding the bike was very dangerous. The control he had over his bike was clearly evident from how much he had done. He must not have practised a lot.
But Rudra was no less! He had never accepted defeat from anyone till date, so how could he accept defeat from this Number Eleven. Thinking this, he changed the gear of the bike and now the bike was talking to the wind on that deserted road of the forest.
Number Eleven looked in his rear view mirror. Rudra was right behind him. Number Eleven started swinging the bike like a snake on the road. Whichever way Rudra tried to take the bike forward, Number Eleven would push his bike straight in that direction. It was as if a war had started between the two and not a race.
Rud had decided that now he would accept defeat from this Number Eleven only after showing him his first defeat in this bike race. He turned his bike slightly to the left and as expected, Number Eleven also turned his bike to that side.
Rudra turned the bike to the right with lightning speed and took it past Number Eleven. Number Eleven looked at his bike and then quickly brought his bike next to Rudra.
Now both of them were riding side by side. There were a lot of turns on that road. Sometimes one would be ahead and sometimes the other! While turning at the turn, the knees of both were almost touching the road and then they were straightening the bike suddenly. Sometimes the situation was such that the bike would start emitting sparks on slight rubbing against the road.
With this, Number Eleven quickly took the turn and brought the bike ahead. Rudra also quickly took the turn and brought his bike parallel to Number Eleven.
Both of them went straight ahead and just behind them another biker whose number was Eight came out from a shortcut.
He also started chasing both of them. In a short while he came beside Rudra.
Number Eleven was on the outside of the road where there was a slope on the side of the road. Whereas Rudra was riding right in the middle of the road.
Number Eight was riding on the inside of the road.
Number Eight started turning the accelerator of his bike.
Number Eleven understood what he was going to do. He started signaling something to Rudra with his hand.
Poor Rudra was participating in a race for the first time. He could not understand what Number Eleven was saying. But he could clearly feel that Number Eleven was slowly slowing down the speed of his bike.
Just then Number Eleven signaled him to look towards the right. Rudra had just turned around and looked when Number Eight gave a strong kick to his bike.
Rudra stumbled badly and his bike went straight and collided with Number Eleven’s bike.
Number Eight sped ahead and Rudra and Number Eleven fell down the first slope with their bike. Rudra fell off the bike, flipped over and hit a big rock and hurt his elbow. His bike hit a tree and its front part broke.
Number Eleven hit a tree and grabbed his back in pain. His bike also skidded to a stop on the other side and soon the leather seat caught fire.
Rudra lay down for a while. He was in pain in many parts of his body. He took a deep breath and then sat up. He took off his helmet and his face and hair were all drenched with sweat.
He looked at Number Eleven on the other side and said “Oye! Number Eleven! Are you okay?”
Number Eleven put his hands on the ground and sat up straight. He looked at Rudra and then suddenly looked back.
When he saw his bike’s seat burning, he immediately said “Damn it!”
After saying this, he quickly got up and took off his jacket. Then he hit his jacket on the bike with force and somehow extinguished the fire.
When the fire was completely extinguished, Number Eleven stood there panting. Then he turned and looked at Rudra.
Rud said “What? If I had set your bike on fire, your bike would have turned into ashes by now! But for now, your bike has caught fire on its own!”
Number Eleven took off her helmet without saying anything and shook her hair, but the biggest shock was felt by Rudra. Number Eleven was a girl. Her hair was just a little longer than her ears and some hair was scattered on the forehead. Her eyes were small and sharp in which black and brown color was visible. Her face was small, round and innocent. She had a mole under her left eye and a mole on her chin too. Her lips were small and full.
Rudra looked at him and kept looking. Number Eleven twisted his neck left and right and then looked at his elbow.
His black t-shirt was slightly wet, meaning blood was oozing from his elbow.
“How can he kick my bike like this! Doesn’t anyone follow rules here?...”, Rudra said in irritation and Number Eleven looked at him.
Then Number Eleven said in a cold voice, “You are participating in the race for the first time, right?”
His voice was slightly hoarse and heavy. As if he was slightly drunk!
Number Eleven looked at Rudra and then said, “The biggest rule here is that there are no rules. This is an illegal race where anyone can go to any extent to win. When I was signaling you to slow down, why didn’t you slow down?”
Rudra said immediately, “You were telling me to slow down?”
Number Eleven looked at him and then said “When you don’t even know the signs of a bike race, then what did you come to do in this race? There was an illegal bike race going on here! We have not come here for a long drive for ice cream! Idiot! ” Saying this, she started looking at her helmet which was scratched.
Rudra said, “By the way, this is the first time in my life that I am seeing a girl riding a bike and trust me! You ride a bike much better than some of the boys I know. You are really amazing!”
“And you are really a disaster!...”, Number Eleven said in a soft voice, “Because of you, I am going to lose a bike race for the first time!”
A crooked smile came on Rudra’s face. He said, “You would have lost anyway!..”, saying this, he spread his hands and said, “After all, you were competing with me!”
Number Eleven looked at him and then said, “You have seen a girl riding a bike for the first time, right? I have also seen a person dreaming with open eyes for the first time! Mungerilal’s sweet dreams!”
Rudra’s eyebrows wrinkled. He said, “Mungerilal? Who? Me?”
