Ishan came in the ground and everyone was talking and having a chit chat with each other.
When Ishan entered inside his friends' crowd, Jiyu, Aid, Era, Eiro and Cyet came in front of him.
"Ishan, didn't you lost because you wanted to show some mercy to us?" Asked Jiyu.
Ishan started sweating and said, "No, definitely not. You all have actually improved a lot and played very well. I am proud to have teammates like you, keep on doing like this. I will be looking for more improvement."
Jiyu, Aid, Era, Eiro and Cyet stared at Ishan for a while and he was sweating more, but suddenly they smiled and said, "Yes! We have improved a lot and now we are not more depended on you!"
And Ishan got a relief that his friends didn't got to know about him and his plan.
'But it's true that they are not more depended on me in the game. They don't lose hope if I am not in the court and that's only what I wanted.' said Ishan in his mind with a smile.
Cyet said to Elisa, "Sister, you played very well. I was shocked to see on your block. It was amazing."
"So you have became a three points shot player? I liked your style of playing and your four points throw, I have seen it for that first time. You played well." Said Aid to Ahi and she became totally happy.
"Guys! Do you all want a treat from my side?" Ivan came in the ground and the first ranker, Noah already left after some words with Ivan.
"Let's go!" Said cheered up and energetic Ishan.
Ivan with Ishan, Sara, Elisa, Ivan, Ahi, Aid, Cyet, Yu, Jiyu, Eiro and Era had a small party in street food and enjoyed a lot. At night, everyone was dropped to their houses and Jiyu father's car came back to him and car of Ishan's father also came back and Ivan and Ishan were totally tired. Ivan's stomach was full but Ishan was still hungry so he accepted their mother's dinner and went to dinning table to eat and Ivan went to his room.
Ivan entered in his room, closed the door and fall on his bed with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Your 5 unknown techniques..."
Ishan's words were still in Ivan's head making his ask to himself.
Suddenly Ivan recalled something which Noah said once and finally took a decision.
"Just... This last year."
The days started passing again, Sia went to her town just the next day of the match. Aid and Ahi kept on dating without knowing that they are dating. Ishan finally got a chance to relax after practicing basketball for straight 15 hours in the whole week. Era, Eiro and Cyet visited Jiyu's home and heard his song again.
♪ I don't care! ♪
Elisa kept on talking with her new friends frequently.
Whereas author stopped giving some interest in festivals and started focusing most on writing.
And what's yours?
Finally the last week of vacations finally ended and the school re - opens.
Sara, Ishan and Jiyu gathered in front of Jiyu's home and started walking towards school together.
"These summer vacations I enjoyed a lot." Said happy and proud Sara.
"Yes yes, you spend most of the time with Ishan, didn't you?" Replied Jiyu.
Sara became angry and said, "What did you just said?!"
Ishan started calming upset Sara, she was angry from Jiyu, and after lots of efforts, he finally made her laugh.
"You are the man every girl wants." Said Jiyu with teasing Ishan and now he became angry from him.
"Anyways, we are finally in school after a long time." Said Sara with feeling the environment.
Sara, Ishan and Jiyu finally reached school and started stepping inside the entrance ground.
But something strange happened which don't happen usually, a lot of girls were waiting for someone. When they saw Sara, Ishan and Jiyu, they started running towards them.
Ishan knew what is happening and said, "Sara, let's go." And hold Sara's hand and started walking with leaving Jiyu. Jiyu was panicking that what's happening and suddenly all the girls surrounded him leaving Ishan and Sara.
"Hey! You are Jiyu, right?! Your game was amazing in the match!"
"Yes! How talented you are in basketball! Will you like to go on a date with me?"
Jiyu became ladies' man, a lot of ladies around him.
"But what's with your captain? Don't your captain should be someone else?"
And Jiyu was shocked to hear that.
"He was easily defeated by you, what kind of capitan is he?"
Whereas Ishan and Sara have already entered in their school building and Ishan asked to Sara, "Will you be sad if someone says you that you couldn't play well in the last game?"
And Sara realized everything that why Ishan took her away from Jiyu and took to the building.
School students who watched the game live now think that Ishan and his team with girls were the weakest and Ishan was the weakest and in the third quarter, Ivan and his team showed some "mercy" to them, not started actual game.
Sara smiled and said, "Why would I? Our plan was an exclusive success, planned losing was only our victory. I won't be offended if someone said something like this to me or anyone who was in our team."
And Ishan smiled and started walking towards the classroom with Sara and said, "As expected from you, but you know, big brother recognised it and I have to tell him. But he won't tell this to my teammates, it's a guarantee."
"As the little brother same the big ones. You both are extremely good in recognising and observing." Said Sara.
Whereas, Miss Naya heard it and smiled and said, "As expected from you, Ishan."
Ishan with Sara continued moving towards their classroom and saw Aid, Cyet, Eiro and Era, in front of their classrooms surrounded and trying to get rid of girls' crowd! Ishan and Sara with smiling leaving them like they are in the girls' problem.
The actual strength of Ishan and his girls' team only actual basketball players or those who play it regularly could recognise it that they actually played more far better than normal players but nobody could see it except than of Ishan's team and Sara's school team could.
Ishan and Sara finally reached their classroom and took their seats and Ishan lied on the desk to sleep whereas Sara started studying again.
"Hey, isn't he the loser captain? I could have easily won by him, hahaha." Everyone started pointing Ishan as a loser which he is definitely not.
