"Don't fell for me...and one more thing, Ishan will forget you by the midnight, though the regrets he would be suffering would may stay or may not, really depends how deep it has affected to his heart and mind, and that's all you need to know." Ichinose said and he started walking away, but Mahi understood almost nothing, everything just ran away from her mind and she smiled with a sweat, confused what he meat to say, she looked at her foot and continued walking...and she finally realized, it's not a dream or just her thoughts, her injury actually healed...by a strange magic! She looked around and Ichinose had left, she tried to remember his face...but it was completely blurry, she forgot his name and everything...she looked ahead at the gate and immediately ran to find him, but there was no one...and Mahi was just left frozen, confused...what just now happened?
Ishan, Zara and Ly continued walking and reached to the college, Ishan looked up while still being sad about Mahi, and he felt now even more regretful, that his big brother is still not in the college and he was playing a normal life all because of him...he blamed himself, even though he couldn't do anything about it and it was Ivan's choice, he had no reason to take the burden but he was still holding it...and he finally hated, that why...why he got another chance, why he remembered everything about his past life which hurts him the most now...it was more like a curse to him now than a blessing.
Zara and Ly moved ahead but Ishan was just looking down, standing and thinking...why he is here, why he is the special one to remember the memories of his past life, he can do nothing with those memories if everything same is going to be repeated again, he thought that the life would be different if he didn't get his memories back.
"Wait...he is hating that now?" Emi, God of Time who was responsible of everything was watching from the far from the universe sky, and she was surprised by seeing Ishan hating the blessing she gave, "I really think...that my big bro is somewhere here, so I am using you to find him...but you are really hating that you have got the memories back and everything is settling to the same? Don't you like a simple life, knowing what would happen and you will play safe and you would be only the leader and the hero of the story...but you are hating it?" Emi was really surprised.
A System Message came in front of Ishan, and he looked...
>"Ishan, are you alright? Do you want to talk?"<
But Ishan just swiped the message, as much he was hating himself and what blessing he had got now, he was also hating the System now. And in this, both have done a mistake, Emi also did a mistake that she decided to hurt Mahi and Ichinose who already showed to Ishan that there's a mission to save Mahi, but as they both failed, and as Ishan already knew about it because of Ichinose, then Ishan is blaming himself and regretting it. He really hated it and just wants to forget everything now and...he just wished to now disappear somewhere and live with peace with no more memories..
Ichinose just smiled, looking up at the sky and moving to his home, he just smiled and said, "Well then, as you wish...I will try to fulfill your that wish, but it will take a lot of time for now so relax although there is not much time left now...we will come to the end soon, Ishan, and I will always support whatever you want." And Ichinose disappeared from the road at the next scene.
Zara stopped, feeling that Ishan is not coming and she looked back and called him, "Ishan, is everything fine?" And Ishan came to his senses, looked in front and just tried to act normal and started walking towards Zara and Ly and replied, "Nah...I was just looking up at the sky and there was a beautiful star." And Zara smiled with a sweat...stars at evening, but she looked up...and there was actually a bright star there, shining at the evening sky and she smiled and continued moving to the stadium with Ishan and Ly.
Miyu, Cyen, Aid and Eta were already there, and the game was going to start soon. There were many students of the college and some were the friends of the players at the audience seat there. Zara, Ishan and Ly also came there walking and Ishan had became emotionless again and just thinking about what happened again...he couldn't forgive himself for the mistake, he couldn't move on from that.
Miyu, Cyen, Aid and Eta looked at Ishan...and they were not knowing about Mahi's situation and they assuming that Ishan has got attitude now and ego, which was actually in them once and Ishan was just broken and finding a path to continue, but he was lost in the woods and couldn't find any path other than one.
The game was going to begin, Zara looked around but the person who invited her, she wasn't there. While Lisa was running back to the school to see Mahi when Ichinose reported her and she had to leave quickly. Zara also thought that because she knows that Mahi and Lisa were good friends so of course she will go, so Zara didn't bother that and looked at the court.
Soon the players started coming, but Ishan was just lost in thoughts. Ivan and Noah came with his team in their uniform and Elisa also arrived to Ishan and everyone and she tried to prank him by cracking a voice cracker...everyone was scared for a minute and Elisa laughed, enjoying that...but Ishan was still lost, he wasn't scared, he was just looking down...and thinking...
