Ishan reached to Ly's classroom with a hurry and looked in, Ly was looking just fine... actually, not just fine, but also happy...all her classmates were together, talking and laughing and everyone was her friend and Ishan just smiled with a sweat, and on his side...there's only one guy to whom he can consider his friend, but he just doesn't shows up and disappear for a month. Ishan just kept his all thoughts aside and he called gently with a low voice, "Ly."
And Ly heard the little slow voice and she looked at the door, and she was surprised, she left her group for a moment and walked to Ishan and asked, "Yes big brother, how did you come here so quickly, is everything fine?"
Ly was way more mature than the kids of her age, she was asking by looking at Ishan's face and a surprise because Ishan would come when the school will end or he will drop her. But Ishan just shook his head and said, "Nah, nothing serious...I am just here to give you your lunchbox, you would be hungry, won't you? So, I am sorry for making you delay and eat properly and if it is late then I will talk to the teacher, ok?"
But Ly was confused, "I have my lunch." And Ishan started sweating, he was thinking that he has given her but the third one confused him completely. He started sweating more, but Ly already mentioned, "And you had made big brother Ivan's lunch as well, and he had taken it, I can remember it for sure." And Ishan was surprised...and now more confused, and he finally realized that maybe he had make extra and by mistake made another one as well.
Ly smiled with a sweat, "And you should now hide that lunchbox and run away from here already, you actually should take my advise and run away right now big brother." And Ishan didn't get it and he just looked in front...and everyone was standing behind Ly, looking at the lunchbox and asked, "Will you share that with us...big bro?"
But Ishan had no problem and he handed it to Ly and just let her share it as well because he already has his own and wasting it is not good, so its better to just give it. And after handing it to Ly, he just said that he will be there at her classroom when the school ends and then he finally started leaving. Ly moved back to her seats and her lunch continued and Ishan kept on walking back to his classroom in the empty hallways.
Ivan started sweating, and the coach was supporting him, he was ready to accept any decision Ivan makes but Ivan couldn't think about it. The coach asked from him about his whole past and everything and when Ivan told, he was surprised but he didn't say anything. Ivan wasn't able to decide because it was like a sudden high, and if he goes, he is afraid of falling down. So it was hard for him to think and the coach could also understand his reason of him after hearing his whole story.
"Ivan, take your time and think about it on your own, and just remember one thing...basketball is your passion, the only thing which ignites your fire so keep it like it is, ego should never be there, stay kind, be like you always are and think about it like a bet, but whatever happens, I will support you. Take your time, keep the thoughts aside while you are doing any work, and think about it at free time because you wouldn't be able to focus on your work. And again, I will accept any decision you chose, so think wisely." And the coach stood from the staircases and Ivan looked up and nodded his head.
"And, one more thing, at Saturday, there's a friendly game with another college, and Noah and his team was willing to join you and asking me, do you want to join?" And Ivan was surprised, he became normal and looked at his wrist and the coach laughed gently, "Ok, I can understand you, it will be at evening, the stadium will not be for practice but the game will be at this stadium only, if you are interested then tell me."
"If it's evening, then I will be there...yeah, I will have time for that, I will if you allow me to." Ivan answered and the coach smiled and he just started walking away, "Ok, you will be there then, although that has days to happen so be calm, and enjoy. I will be waiting for you at the stadium at evening then."
"Sure." And Ivan also turned away and he also started leaving and moving to his first job of the day with keeping the thoughts aside for now.
Ishan opened the door and the whole classroom was still empty, there was no one, and Ishan just smiled. The bell rang and the lunch period had ended but Ishan could still eat until the teacher doesn't come and he walked to his desk, took his seat and the lunchbox was closed, he remembered that he had left open only, but he didn't care and he just looked at the lunchbox...and he started sweating...someone had finished his lunch, and he could just eat one bite. But he had no problem with it, he would be happy if it fulfilled someone's hunger but he would be hurt if someone just threw it and doesn't knows how to respect food. Ishan just closed the lunchbox and he had no problem, he wasn't going to ask at cameras for that and he just wiped his lips for the one bite and just kept his head down on the desk.
The students started coming and leaving, and Ishan remembered that it's now the sports period and he stood and he also started leaving, and the classroom was completely empty once again.
