Rise Again!

Jiyu, Era, Cyet and Aid came in the stadium with still, the same faces. They looked at the court and with anger Jiyu said,

"... That betrayal didn't even came back! Oh, after betraying us, he will be enjoying with Koyo School's team, right?" And turned back and started leaving.

"Now... We will have to change our captain and expel him out." Said Aid and he also left with Era and Cyet.

Eiro came running to the court because he can't keep the reality and truth behind himself and will tell to everyone, but when he reached, everyone have already left.

At evening, Yu came running back to school to apologize Ishan and heard of dribbling voice and with happiness, that it must be Ishan, she ran towards the stadium.

But, unfortunately, there was not Ishan but Eiro practicing throwing with feeling regretted that he couldn't tell others.

"Um... Do you know where Ishan is?" Asked Yu with a sad and regretting face on her.

"Do you want to slap him once again?" Asked Eiro and threw the basketball in the hoop.

"... No... I... I want to apologise him... For slapping and saying him betrayal."

"So you got to know about that?" Said Eiro and smiled and turned towards Yu.

"Did you knew that?!" Yu was surprised that Eiro already knew about that?!

"Ma'am told me about it when the match was started but also said to not tell anyone, because... I guess Ishan was testing us and we all are failed." Said Eiro with a huge smile on his face but suddenly a drop of tear came from his eye.

Eiro wiped the tear and again started practicing and said, "You come tomorrow in school, Ishan will most probably come so you maybe can apologize from him. Although thanks for coming, I guess my regrets are relieved that I was at least able to tell the truth to someone even if she already know."

And Eiro was actually relieved because he wanted to say about it to someone which he has done.

Although Yu couldn't because she will be only relieved when she will apologize.

And Yu started leaving the stadium and left.

"Koyo School boy's basketball team resigned from the Inter High School Basketball Tournament because they say that it wasn't an equal match." News was spread but nobody got to know about it except Aid, he was watching news about it on his phone.

Aid was lying on his bed in complete darkness.

"So they resigned... Just to save Ishan from being expelled? Ha, good grief but he will be taken out." Said Aid and laughed.

Suddenly a message arrived from Ahi.

> Hey! You played well in the game.

Aid was not going to respond because he now hates Koyo School and he has to leave her due to it.

> And Uri also did good to resign, the match actually wasn't equal because Ishan's right hand was badly burnt. Otherwise the match would be something big.

When Aid read this, he was totally shocked and started typing instantly

> What?! Ishan's hand was burnt?!

> Do you don't know? Uri also get to know when he angrily asked from Ishan that why don't he played like his way and then Ishan told. I guess he didn't told you all.

And Aid was badly in a great shock. And he got another shock when he realized that he and others are totally depended on Ishan only, if Ishan would be with them, then they must have easily won.

Mad Cyet, totally in anger asked Elisa packing her bag for something.

"Where are you going?"

"On a trip of a week I guess. And there will be some more like Ishan will be coming, Ivan, Noah, and Noah's little sister and some more my friends and their some siblings. We are going out of the country."

Cyet became more angry and said, "What?! Why is Ishan and Ivan coming?! Don't you know that how much betrayal guys they are?!"

Elisa smiled and continued packing and said, "Ivan has said me strictly to not slap you today, otherwise I would've given a good one on calling Ivan by his name, he is elder than you. Learn to respect seniors otherwise you can also say me by my name."

And Cyet realized that what wrong he said and his sister's words hurted the most, he can never imagine to say Elisa's name by her name.

"And did you said something bad to Ishan when he has not told about that his hand is burnt? I guess you all have. Anyways, if you want to come then tell me."

And Cyet was blank and in a great trauma.

The next day, Aid came to the school early when Ishan with Jiyu comes and play in the court, to apologize from Ishan.

Aid came to the stadium, but there was no one, except Era playing like he usually used to do before the summer vacations.

"Um... So Ishan hasn't arrived till now." Said Aid and entered in the stadium and kept his bag on ground.

"Wasn't our matter and friendship with Ishan ended yesterday only?" Era don't know actually about it but he has moved on from the yesterday match but not by the misunderstanding created.

Aid also realized about it instantly that Era doesn't knows and finally tells the truth.

"... What...?" Basketball dropped by Era's hands with a great shock and tears came on his face.

Era suddenly caught the collar of Aid and shouted, "Why didn't you told me earlier?!"

"What do you mean by that?! I called you all when I got to know! Even to Ishan! But nobody picked up! Not even you!" Shouted Aid and Era left the his collar.

"Now there is no go back in time, so let's just apologize to him and those who care and are close to him." Said Aid.

After an hour, Sara arrived to school and, today also, she has a match so she started waiting for her teammates and others to go to the match.
