"I am sad" Ishan and Mahi continued walking and Ishan continued, "That I couldn't live the college life."
Mahi motivated him with saying, "You can still join a college, age is not the matter."
But it was not about age, "No, I know that I could still join a college but... I couldn't live with my friends... Like Jiyu, Era, Eiro, Cyet and Aid. That's the sad part. They all must be already graduated but I... Uh...!"
And Mahi could understand the feeling of Ishan but suddenly got a idea, "How about we together join a college? I have also not joined it, I was just exploring the world with Lisa all the time. She was writing and I was playing official tournaments. But I can join with you."
And Ishan smiled and said, "Thanks... But ease give me some time to think about it."
And Mahi smiled that Ishan will at least think about it and if said yes then they both will go to college and live its life together.
And Mahi and Ishan came in front of his home.
Ishan wore his mask but Mahi didn't because it's not in the plan.
And Mahi knocked at the door and said, "Ma'am! This is me, Mahi!!!"
And the gate opened and Mahi and mask man entered in the house and Ishan's mother was surprised to see a male friend of Mahi but greeted them.
Ishan sat down to take out his shoes and now Mahi has to say the most embarrassing thing in her whole life, "Um... Ma'am, my friend wants to eat something and is starving. Lisa kicked us our so... Will you please give some food."
And Mahi was completely embarassed and swear that she will take revenge from Ishan for sure.
And the mask man stood and said, "I am seriously starving ma'am."
And Ishan's mother was completely stunned and tears came on her eyes and she started crying with happiness and said, "Of... Of course, please come."
And the mask man hugged her and said, "So... You found me, huh?"
And she started crying more loudly because her son... Is back to her, after years.
"Ishan...!!! Ishan...!!! My son is back...!!!"
And Ishan's father also came running by hearing this and Ishan was actually there. And he also started crying and came in front of them.
And Mahi was surprised at starting but got a smile on seeing the family is together again.
And Ishan's mother left Ishan his father hugged him and she went to Mahi and hugged her and said, "Thanks for bringing him... Mahi. You are the best." And Mahi smiled and also hugged her.
"Grandma! Grandpa!"
And a child entered in the house from the door a saw Ishan, Mahi, his grandmother and grandfather with them.
Ivan and Elisa continued walking back to home after attending the Farewell party and Ivan was excited to see the reaction of Elisa when she will see Ishan. He was already giggling for that surprise.
But Elisa was having no idea that for what is Ivan giggling.
"Hey! If you want to tell me then you can?" Asked Elisa with being too much curious.
"But I don't want to tell." And Ivan laughed but at the same time got a hit on his head.
And Ivan and Elisa came to the home and it was looking completely normal.
And Ivan moved to the living room and Elisa moved to kitchen.
"Oh~ Elisa, today we are having Mahi's birthday, can you help in making some other dishes?" Asked Ivan's mother and Elisa said, "Of course, but I am surprised that Mahi is having her birthday here. Is she already here?"
"Yes, and she has came with a friend as well."
And Elisa smiled and said, "Lisa?"
"Oh... We forget to invite her! Mahi! Will you mind calling and inviting Lisa?!"
And Mahi answered from living room only, "We have done! She's coming soon... Check."
And Elisa was surprised that Mahi has came with another friend except Lisa.
"Ishan... What should I do now?" This was the voice of Ivan and Elisa's son, playing against Mahi on chess.
And... Elisa was surprised by hearing this name and thought it must be a mistake of her ear--
"Ahahaha... There's no more way left kid. Mahi has trapped badly, if you give any move... There's a checkmate in one. Mahi, can you show some mercy, to him."
And Elisa was stunned by hearing this voice!
And Mahi smiled and said, "You see... I don't do such things otherwise my official matches will be spoiled. Sorry."
And Elisa started stepping towards the living room to know who actually is there.
"Just have a handshake and say resign kid."
And Elisa came and saw her child and Mahi had a handshake and just next to the board was Ishan watching the game.
And Ishan looked at Elisa and said, "Oh! Long time no see Sister. I am sorry that I couldn't attend your marriage, otherwise I would be from both sides, from bridegroom as well as bride's side."
"You should also say sorry to me Ishan." Said Ivan and he took off his coat and smiled.
"I already say that at your college farewell, didn't I?" And Ishan and Ivan smiled.
And Elisa... Was stunned to see Ishan...
And Ishan and Mahi stood and said, "Sorry for keeping it a secret from you from the college farewell time."
And... Elisa started becoming emotional and started crying and ran towards Ishan and Mahi and hugged them and started crying loudly.
And Ivan and his parents smiled on seeing it.
"Ishan...!!! Why were you now talking...?! Why were you... Why did you stayed away from us for years...?!" And Elisa continued crying and Ishan and Mahi smiled and kept patting on her back to calm her down.
"I am here Mahi, Lisa." But Lisa got no response. She walked ahead and came to living room and saw something calming.
Everyone was hugging Ishan together and feeling calm to meet him after a long time.
And Lisa smiled and said, "You are seriously ladies' guy Ishan." And laughed and continued, "Should I also hug you?"
Ishan smiled and said, "You don't need."
And Lisa also started walking towards Ishan with saying, "Oh... You are my best buddy, you know that, Ishan." And joined the hug.
