Chapter 16 (Curv)

And Lisa and Mahi started laughing and Mahi got the enough courage and stepped on the stage.

And the trophy came in Mahi's hands and everyone started clapping and blessing her for winning the title sixth time.

But at Sara's side, no one was clapping except Sara and her parents.

"Any words Mahi?" Asked Elisa and gave the mic to Mahi.

"Um... Thanks to everyone who were watching the match, who were supporting me, who were supporting to my all the opponents, and everyone who were with me, Lisa, Sister Elisa, Brother Ivan, and... The guy who made my yesterday completely with happiness. Keep on enjoying, keep on playing and make your each day worthy by doing what you all actually want to do. Thanks." And Mahi gave the mic back.

"Very well said Mahi. You might are too much happy to had that guy with you." And Elisa hit Ivan on why he is bringing that topic?!

But Mahi smilingly said, "Of course."

And the ceremony ended.

And now, Ivan was back on his car, next to him was Elisa and Jiyu, Era, Eiro, Cyet, Den, Sara, Ahi, Yu, Sia and waiting for Mahi, Ishan and Lisa to come.

And the car was enough big and long that 12 passengers could easily be settled.

5 minutes later, Lisa arrived and took the seat and said, "Mahi has went to play basketball with her guy. So she has already left and gone to a park I guess."

And everyone was shocked that Mahi... Has gone to play basketball? But Ivan and Elisa were not surprised but despite were happy that Ishan is hanging out with Mahi and making her happy.

"She... She has gone to play basketball?" Said shocked Den, the GM.

"Yeah... Actually Mahi and that guy was with me only but suddenly Mahi asked him that she wants to play basketball because he himself is a great basketball player. So they both went."

And Jiyu, Era, Eiro and Cyet were more shocked now and Cyet said, "He... He is a basketball player?"

And Ivan started riding the car and said, "Not official but... He can play better than you all." And laughed.

And, Jiyu, Era, Eiro and Cyet started laughing that... Someone better than them who is Ivan, together, and who else could he be.

Lisa now wants to destroy their ego so she said, "Big brother Ivan... A month later, there's a match of yours against Jiyu, Era, Eiro, Cyet, Aid and others, right? Why don't you take him in your team?"

And Ivan and Elisa got a smile.

"Good idea Lisa, they will also meet and realise that in this world, there are some players like me or even better." Said Ivan and it was settled.

"Huff... Huff... It's tough to play basketball... Ishan." Said exhausted Mahi and sat on a bench.

It was evening and Ishan was teaching and giving a practice to Maho to throw perfectly to go in the hoop.

And Ishan smiled and goaled another in the hoop and said, "I used to practice basketball for hours, 14 hours a day."

And Mahi was already completely exhausted and said, "And I... Used to Practice chess... for 8 hours only."

"That's huge, but you should also take care of your physical health. You were exhausted at every 30 minutes... You should start doing exercises 30 minutes every day."

And Ishan sat next to Mahi and Mahi smiled and said, "... Yeah."

And the park was not new one but that one which is near to Ishan's home and school where he used to play and practice.

"I am curious to see the face of Mahi's boyfriend now."

And Ishan suddenly covered Mahi's mouth and said with silence, "Stay silent... Sara, Yu, Ahi, Sia and Lisa are here."

And Mahi understood.

And it was actually Sara, Ahi, Yu, Sia and Lisa walking and moving towards the park only!!!!

And Sara, Ahi, Yu, Sia and Lisa came to the park but there was no one.

Ishan and Mahi were hiding behind the bushes fence from outside, sitting on the road sides.

But Lisa realised their presence by reading and realised that she should help them to not let Ishan caught. But it could be only possible if they three remain calm and doesn't makes any voice and neither panics.

And Sara, Ahi, Yu, Sia and Lisa sat on the bench and started talking.

Ishan and Mahi could escape easily but they both wanted to hear the conservation so they continued hearing.

But Lisa was panicking and worrying if Ishan heard of Den!

Sia with teasing Sara said, "And Sara... What's your plan of future with your boyfriend? Tell me, tell me."

And Sara smiled with blushing a little bit but Mahi and Ishan were stunned.

'That's all done... We lost.' thought Lisa. She only wanted that that topic doesn't arrives but she already has many enemies in this world.

Suddenly a guy arrived with having a cake and asked, "Hey, what are you doing, Ish--?"

And Ishan caught the guy and bring him on ground and made him sat and said silently, "Stay silent Curv!"

It was Curv who just came today by aeroplane to meet Ishan, Miss Naya told him about Ishan and with happiness he immediately took a ticket and arrived to see Ishan back.

And Ishan told everything to Curv and he sat next to Ishan and continued giving company to him.

"So you came from your job from another country to only meet me?" Asked shocked Ishan.

And Curv laughed and said, "You are my first friend and you have done a lot to me. And the holidays were almost coming as well. So don't worry about it. I will now leave a month later, so I will be with you."

And Ishan smiled that how good friend he has got.

"By the way... Who is next to you? Is she your girlfriend or bride?"

And Mahi blushed and Ishan smilingly said, "Someone almost like that only. My best friend you can say, she is Mahi."

And Mahi blushed with being shocked that Ishan gives her so high title to him. She thought that he considers her as a friend but he considers her as a best friend.
