Rise Again!

At evening, the plane was going to arrive and it was the time to say goodbye to Mahi who was not too much emotional but she was having a smile giving relief to everyone.

And Mahi's grandparents were also there to pick her up.

Everything was set, Ishan, Ivan, Elisa, Noah, Ruhi and others were just waiting for the plane and Mahi was sitting next to Ishan with a smile on her face.

"Ishan, can I hold your hand?" Asked Mahi.

Ishan didn't understood why but allowed her freely.

Mahi caught Ishan's hand and said, "It's warm."

"Huh?"

"I am really lucky to meet someone like you all, especially you, Ishan. Now I can, maybe, live without thinking and worrying. Thanks will value of nothing but still, Thanks, for coming in my life." Said Mahi with looking at the sunset.

Ishan was surprised and stared at Mahi for a while but then realized something and a smile came on his face and he also looked at the sunset.

"Isn't the sunset beautiful?" Asked Mahi with looking at it.

Ishan realized that what Mahi meant but still said, "Yes, same like the moon. Just it shines better and shows the whole sky how much beautiful it is."

The plane landed and Ishan, Ivan, Elisa, Ruhi, Noah and their other travel companions were in front of Mahi and her grandparents and started coming one by one and saying something good to her to motivate her more.

"Ah...! How will I live without you?" Said crying Ruhi and hugged Mahi.

At last, it was Ishan and he came in front of her and said, "Stay safe and keep on practicing harder. Life is too short to waste but big to live. Live everyday with a smile until the last breath and never live in regrets anymore."

And Mahi hugged Ishan and all eyes at both of them.

"Yes" replied Mahi with tears in her eyes.

"And also, learn to fight for self defence. Learn to kick, punch and pressure point." Said genius Ishan and Mahi nodded her head and said, "I will."

And Ishan moved back towards Ivan and others and they all looked at Mahi for maybe the last time and turned back and started moving.

"... Ishan...!" Called Mahi and everyone, including Ishan turned back towards Mahi.

"I... I like you, no, I love you!" Shouted Mahi confessing her feelings for Ishan.

And everyone was shocked except Ishan, he got a smile back.

"It's a not a selection that... You have to accept me or reject. This is just my feelings for you... Which I wanted to confess. I... I don't want anything, just you stay happy and... Live with someone who makes you smile and happy each and every day, whether it's no one, or me or Sara... At last... Your happiness has only mattered for me." Said Mahi with tears again in her eyes, but with a bright smile.

Ishan once again hugged Mahi and said, "... You also stay happy forever. And... Keep on moving ahead and fight with each obstacle of life and keep on moving ahead. And one day, you will turn back with a lot of precious memories."

And the plane took off and Mahi looked at the flying plane and went with her grandparents.

"... Don't you think you have broken heart of someone?" Asked Noah with feeling pity on Mahi on her feelings for Ishan.

"I just pray to god that she always keep on smiling and find her happiness without me." Said Ishan and looked through the window on the sky.

The next day, Sara's final match was going to start but till now, she couldn't call Ishan because he was not picking it up.

The final match was going to start from straight 5 minutes and Sara was becoming anxious because it was the last match and their was no one cheering for her team because her match was against the last year winners.

All the players came on a line and started giving handshakes and then stood on their positions and the match began.

For cheering, only Jiyu, Era, Eiro, Cyet and Aid were there. Ahi and Yu also joined them some.

And the match began.

*Sara's eyes blink*

"Ah...! How are we going to win?" Said one Sara's teammate.

The two quarters have ended and Sara's team have played pretty well but it was not enough to defeat. Whereas Sara was being more anxious even if her old friends were cheering her.

And the third quarter was going to start and players came on their positions and it was Sara's team on offensive.

The game started and Sara started dribbling the basketball with becoming anxious.

"Give your best no matter what! Just enjoy the game!"

And all the eyes towards the voice and everyone was cooked. And Sara more motivated and ready to start cooking the game.

It was Ishan and Ivan arrived to see the match and cheer for Sara.

Jiyu, Era, Eiro, Aid and Cyet were more excited to see Ishan after a long time!

"How did you get suspended?"

And Cyet was cooked badly, he turned back with being scared and shaking and Elisa was there to tell a lesson to Cyet!

"Um... The suspension has ended." Said sweating Cyet.

And Sara instantly jumped and threw the basketball in volleyball technique instantly and scored 4 points instantly!

And the opponents were cooked. Sara got her confidence and courage to play the best and defeat everyone.

Whereas Ruhi and Noah and others went directly to their home.

And the real match began.

"Let's go!!!" And Sara's team won the match with dominating badly and crushing the opposite team with scoreboard, 90 - 60!

"It was an easy match." Said Ishan and Ivan replied Indeed.

But a thing was coming in Ivan's mind and he took it out and said, "Ishan, if you have to select one out of Sara and Mahi, whom you will chose?"

"Huh...? It's obvious..."

And Ivan got a sad face.

"I would chose to be alone. If that's the case what you are thinking."

And Ivan's face from sad changed to shocking.

"And what if you have to marry one to spend your whole life?" Asked shocked Ivan.

"Firstly, I thought to marry and spend my whole life with Sara but... Now I think no one deserves me, they deserve better."

Ivan was again shocked and not understanding that on which thing is Ishan depressed?!

"I would like both of them to move on from me and I will live alone. It's not a bad choice or is it?"
