"Huh?" And Yu was surprised that Ishan is being sad on that festival fate is tomorrow and said, "Why are you sad about it? Is fate more important than match?"
But Sara was understanding the reason of Ishan's down face and she also became a little bit sad on it.
"And if you want to enjoy the fate, you can just attend it at night."
And Ishan and Sara got some hopes of their first, official date.
And Ishan and Sara looked at each other with a smile.
"Hey, are you both having any plans for fate?" Asked Jiyu all of a sudden and Ishan and Sara took off their eyes and Sara blushed a little bit but Ishan remain calm and said, "I am having it. But my plan is to go with someone else, not together."
And Jiyu, Aid, Era, Eiro and Cyet started pouting and being angry from Ishan that he doesn't wants to go with them.
The next day, Ishan woke up early again, got ready and left home before the sun rises.
Ishan took his chocolate and started chewing and biting while walking.
"Hey! Ishan!"
Ishan stopped and Jiyu joined the walk and continued their path back towards school.
Ishan and Jiyu reached the school and entered in the stadium and it was completely dark which means no one else has came except them.
Jiyu and Ishan opened the lights and the stadium was actually completely silent.
And Ishan finished his chocolate and threw the wrapper in dustbin and then picked up the ball and said, "Jiyu... Let's have some warm up."
Jiyu got a creepy smile and said, "I will crush you!!!"
Aid, Era, Eiro, Cyet, Sia, Yu, Sara and the rest girls team also arrived the stadium with talking and laughing but... Their laugh faded when they saw the ridiculous situation.
Jiyu was completely sweating and trying to block Ishan's throw but Ishan was not sweating, not even a little bit, and suddenly started dribbling the ball rapidly and suddenly threw with rotating himself and got two points.
Jiyu with exhaustion lied on the court and said, "Huff... It's hard to defeat you... Even if I start practicing like you, I would never be able because you will never stop your own practice!"
Ishan picked up the ball and said, "Do you even do the basic practice? Throwing basketball? I have practiced at almost all length from the hoop and thousands times. Practice more."
And Ishan came and gave hand to Jiyu. Jiyu got a smile and caught Ishan's hand and stood.
Jiyu said, "If you are in our team, there is no way that we can be defeated."
But Ishan got a bad taste and said, "Seriously Jiyu? Just think if you and everyone has this belief and in case we managed to go to final and all of a sudden I can't play the finals, that's it then. Believe in yourself, everyone can be way more better than me if they practice and believe in themselves."
And Jiyu stopped and looked at Ishan with a smile and said, "You are an all rounder."
"Still, everyone can at least master their speciality and as our team doesn't has same speciality, everyone is unique, and if they mastered their own, they will never need me."
And Jiyu laughed and said, "So you think that everyone can master their speciality and can defeat you in a group, but not in sole?"
And Ishan got a smile and put his arm on Jiyu's shoulder and said, "Nah, you all can't even defeat me in a team."
"Hey! How can you even say that?!"
And Ishan looked straight and Aid, Era, Eiro and Cyet jumped on Ishan together and made him lie on the ground with locking his hands and legs.
Jiyu asked, "Do you all want me any help?"
"Start tickling him!!!"
"Hey, do you all even have some mind that what you are doing?" Said Ishan with being angry now.
And everyone was now scared except Jiyu, he didn't did anything till now so Ishan will not be angry from him which is true.
Aid with hesitation said, "We... We will defeat you!"
And all the strange eyes on Aid that why does he says something which is kind of impossible.
"Stop daydreaming and just saying. Practice and then come in front of me for this appeal." Said Ishan and everyone agreed with this statement.
"Although... It's actually hard for you all. But don't worry, I will show you all some mercy on that game and let you all win."
"Just shut up!!!!!!"
And Ishan started laughing and said, "You all are good friends of mine... Thanks to God to give some without mind people in my life."
And the first sentence was looking good but... Second one was not, and suddenly Eiro realised that what just Ishan said and shouted, "How can you say us without mind people?!!!!"
And Ishan again started laughing.
And Ishan finally get realised due to lose hold of them and suddenly ran, Jiyu, Era, Eiro, Aid and Cyet started following to catch Ishan.
Sara loved the scene when Ishan was enjoying with a laugh and true smile on his face and said, "... I hope time just moved like this."
"So..." Miss Naya called all the players in front of the bus and continued, "First of all congratulations for making till the tournament once again, I hope you all only win and rise the name of our country. And secondly, we have rest rooms there as well. And... Focus of studies as well."
"Yes!!!"
"And today we only have one bus, second has gone for maintenance. But, there will be enough seats so yeah. Come now." And Miss Naya entered in the bus and players also started entering and taking their seats.
Ishan was being completely frustrated and said, "Why... Why you all are sitting just next to me?"
Ishan was sitting at the last, long one but Jiyu, Aid, Era, Eiro and Cyet were sitting just on that seat only ignoring that there are plenty more in front!
Miss Naya came and said, "Any one of you get out of that seat. There are more seats."
And Era and Jiyu pushed Ishan and covered the whole long seat.
"Hey! That's my seat!" Ishan raised his voice against injustice.
Era said, "No, you all the time sit here. We also wants to experience what is here."
Cyet said, "And who knows that we became as strong as you are in basketball." And smiled.
Ishan with anger stood and has to left the seat. And took the seat next to Sara with both taking their faces away from each other with a little bit blushing.
