"I would definitely scold him if I would be a teacher here, he has won and it is something to be celebrated but it is not like that if he won then he wouldn't do a work of the place where he get a shelter, a place to stay or live." Ma'am said and Elisa looked at her, "I don't mind if you punish him, after he has done those things...I am not going to do anything for him now, whatever he does, let him just do it then, I wouldn't interfere but you can definitely punish him ma'am." And everyone was left frozen.
Ivan sighed and walked towards Elisa and Elisa was looking down, he patted on her head and said, "Don't say like that, he indeed did a mistake but don't be tired on punishing him, he is your only family member and brother you have, if you started acting like that then it just means you really don't care about him, don't do that, he is just a child, he will do mistakes and we will correct him again and again, he is your responsibility Elisa." And Elisa sighed..."...Sigh...I think I am just annoyed and tired today...I am sorry...but I am really exhausted now...sorry--" And Ishan kept ice cream in front of her and Ivan smiled and Ishan moved back towards the stove and said, "The meals are almost done, take your seats and have your meals." And everyone just smiled and Elisa took a deep breath and started having her ice cream. Cyen ran out of the house with joy without even looking for once and he ran to join and party on the victory with his team.
The time kept on moving, everyone had their meals and Ishan also had his own, it wasn't mainly for good taste but he also took care about their diet and made pretty good which wouldn't make them sleepy and unhealthy or anything, and still everyone liked it. Then it was the time for departure and a few cars stopped and the team and Ma'am left, while Ishan, Ly and Elisa were going to join and watch a few minutes later...and Elisa for once looked at Ishan's room, and it was a complete mess... and now her eyes were full of tears, she was sad on the behavior of Cyen's action and Ly and Ishan panicked and tried to calm her while she was apologizing again and again. It was hard for them to calm her, but she stopped after a while, but she was still angry and mumbling, "...I will make him do everything one day...and everyone will take rest that day and he will do everything...I swear...that day will definitely come one day...you just wait and watch...Cyen..." And Ishan and Ly were smiling with a sweat, but still supporting her and saying, "Right right, he will definitely do!"
The sky was becoming darker and darker by each second, and the night was almost there. Cyen, Aid, Miyu and Eta were having a great party, but even if it was just a win on their first game, they were having a grand party. And whereas, Ivan and his team were at their room and discussing with the coach and Ma'am was watching them and hearing, and a boy was also there, just watching them but he looked down...he looked to be of almost of Ishan's age, and Ma'am looked at him and just smiled and talked to him, he was her son. Ishan, Ly and Elisa walked out of the house with all the lights off and Elisa closed the door and handed to Ishan and they both started leaving and moving towards the stadium to watch the first game of Ivan. They three stopped at a bus stop and they waited for five minutes, then a bus stopped and they three entered.
Zara's parents were trying to encourage her, calm her, they just assumed that Ishan she was being distracted by was the guy who saved her, so they didn't think much if there would be something and they were trying to make her happy and smile, but she was just looking down with no reaction and still lost somewhere in her mind...she just had her dinner and moved to her bedroom and she just jumped over it with all the lights closed and she opened her eyes...
"...You spoiled and insulted my whole game...Ishan...didn't you...?"
And Zara's eyes were full of tears in just a few seconds, and she turned, covered her face with the pillows and she started crying loudly, she still couldn't move on from the game she lost...it was her first tournament game which she lost...she believed that she will win like she always used to in her previous life, but she couldn't win...
Ivan was on the court finally, holding the basketball...and the game was going to start in a minute, his teammates were standing around him and looking around at the audience, there were just around hundred of them, but hundred was also a big number, and the both teams were happy and really didn't care about the number, all they wanted was just to play, and enjoy in a tournament because the league was for new players to show and rise. Ivan took a deep breath and his teammates looked at him and patted on his head, supporting and he just smiled and moved ahead to the the mid of the court and the opponent team also came there, and greeted to each other. The game was almost going to begin and the referee was holding the basketball. Ivan looked up and saw Elisa, Ly and Ishan standing and Ly was completely joyful and cheering him and he just smiled.
The basketball was bounced and Ivan jumped the highest and caught the ball...and his first official match begin. Everyone in the stadium were shocked by his jump but Elisa, Ly and Ishan laughed, and a crazy smile with enjoyment was on Ivan's face and he threw the basketball to the hoop straight.
