The dinner passed smoothly and silently this time, everyone was silent, Ly was silent and showing anger to Ishan that she is upset from him, Ivan was down and he was looking at him and then thinking about something and then repeating it, he was trying to realize the situation and get a guess that why Ishan would be sad and Ishan, he couldn't help but he was just looking down and thinking what would be "if" he didn't get the memories of his past life, how would be his life if it would be the case, he thought that at least others wouldn't be dragged to his unluckiness and that all. All the three were silent and no one said anything, Ly didn't want to say anything to Ishan, Ivan wants to say and talk to him but he doesn't knows how, and Ishan didn't know what he should even speak...it looked like a solo war, he was fighting against his mind and himself and that was actually the scene, Ishan was fighting silently to himself, others wanted to join...but they had no weapon at the end and no courage either.
Ivan looked at Ishan and Ishan's dinner was completed already, but he was still moving his mouth and looking down...he was badly broken this time and his heart was shattered into pieces like a glass falls down and gets shattered in just a moment. Ivan now started worrying even more, and Ishan finally stopped moving his mouth and he stood and picked up his plates and started walking away, Ivan had the courage for moment but after seeing Ishan completely different and broken, his courage disappeared and he couldn't say anything. His dinner was also completed, he joined his hand thanking for the meal which Ishan had forgotten by the broken heart and Ivan stood, picked up his plates and started moving to the kitchen--
Suddenly Ly smiled, looking down...and she said, "Big brother Ivan...go and you talk to Big bro Ishan, I really believe in the brotherhood...he should at least rely on you and wouldn't hesitate to tell you at least...I failed and others didn't even try...but I believe in you, go and confront him...I will be supporting both, all the best, and whenever you think is the perfect time to ask and talk to him, go and do..." And Ivan stopped...he was frozen for a moment, but at the end, he just smiled and nodded his head and he started walking away, he finally gathered enough courage and he just needed to ask and talk to Ishan...but it looked like a battlefield on which Ivan was going to step on now.
Ishan was washing plates and Ivan was trying to get attention from him, but Ishan wasn't giving him a single attention and he was just washing the plates and focused on it and his thoughts. Ivan tried many tricks to just get a single attention from Ishan and then talk to him right there, Ly was also looking everything secretly and supporting him and cheering for him, but Ishan wasn't paying any attention till this moment. Ishan changed many places, he washed plates, cleaned the kitchen, settled his books and bag but he didn't pay any attention to them till now.
Ly just gave up once again, and she closed the lights and lied on her bed and chose to sleep and Ivan smiled with a sweat, she gave up...but he committed that he wouldn't give up so easily--
"It's so funny that you and Ly were trying your best, to get some attention from me...I guess I am lucky to get a big brother and little sister like you both, at least something good in this life." And Ivan's eyes widened...he turned away and Ishan was standing and smiling, he was observing everything, all the Ly and Ivan gave to get his attention, and Ishan was now acting normal like nothing actually happened...Ivan wanted to cry and hug Ishan, that he is finally back to the true Ishan he is...but it wasn't the right time to celebrate for Ivan...it was now the right time instead...
"What happened to you Ishan...your behavior and your face was so down...it was scary, that you have no more will to live..." Ivan said and Ishan agreed, "Indeed, I am having no more will to live, I just wish to die at this moment." And Ivan's eyes widened...he wanted to punch Ishan, he wanted to scold him and make him promise to never say that again...but Ivan couldn't...he was crying silently, and he also knew that if he punches or attacks at Ishan, it will be more hard to get to the root of the problem. Ivan looked at Ishan seriously with tears filling his eyes and he said, "You are going to tell me everything what happened to you Ishan..."
And Ishan finally smiled, "...I only have you...I actually wanted to tell you everything now, whether you will believe in me or not...but I really wanted your help...what should I even do now..." And Ivan was left shocked with widened eyes, but Ishan really depended on Ivan a lot, he used to tell him everything in his previous life, and he is still the same.
Ishan and Ivan sat on the sofa next to each other at the living room and Ishan was looking down looking a little bit serious, and Ivan looked at him and he was also serious now and he asked, "Do you have any problem with Zara?"
Ishan smiled and shook his head slowly, "Don't drag Zara, she is a nice girl and we both played volleyball whole night which I really enjoyed...it's not about her...it's about the curse I got."
"...You believe in curses and those things?" Ivan was surprised but Ishan became serious, he looked at Ivan and came on the main topic, "Listen to me, let me tell you one thing first...it's my decision... and I wanted to tell you..." And Ivan started sweating, it looked really serious now and intense environment, Ivan gulped and he was ready to hear Ishan's decision. Ishan looked down...and suddenly a smile bloomed on his face...
"...I will never play basketball ever again...I don't want to play basketball anymore..."
