Parth got up early in the morning. It was sunday, so he had to reach in the court for the basketball practice at sharp 9 o'clock. Today, there was no need to ask permission. He went in the balcony, he saw Isla got off a car in the compound holding Rocky in her arm.
" Oh!she took him for the walk. Nice" he thought.
She was about to enter the house, noticed Parth looking at her from his balcony. " Good morning Parth " she said.
" Good morning Isla. " Parth replied her back. She got inside.
Parth went inside, freshened up,took bath, put on trouser and loose t-shirt . He came downstairs.
" Parth, have your breakfast first, then only you can leave for playing. " Lily stopped him and put a plate of breakfast on the table.
Parth finished his breakfast and moved out. When he came out of his gate, he saw Ryan, wearing t-shirt and trouser, holding a basketball, got inside a car standing in front of his building. The car droved off.
" Oh! He is also going to play basketball. " he saw him going and thought.
Today, it was sunday, so the practice venue was different. He had to go sport complex for the practice. It was little far from his house. He took a taxi and reached there within fifteen minutes.
"Parth.. Parth. " Darshan ran to him from behind and said, " wait for me please. "Parth stopped there waiting for him. Darsh reached to him.
" All those schools and colleges who have participated in the competition came to practice here. " Darsh said, " we got a chance to observe them playing and bring some improvement in our technique if needed."
" Is it so? All the competitors are here".Parth wondered and looked around the complex. Darsh was right. There were 4-5 basketball courts occupied by groups of different schools and colleges.
Suddenly, his eyes clapped on Ryan. He looked at him playing. He tossed the ball in the air. One of the players of his dribbled and passed the ball to another member. Ryan grabbed the ball and flied the ball in the basket. He did all this so fast and perfectly. Parth couldn't stop himself from watching him playing more.
" Parth, will you practice or you"ll just watch others playing only. " his captain said.
" Sorry, i'm coming." he said and ran to his team.
" He seems very expert in basketball. " he thought, " I should ask him to give training for few days. But, he is also one the competitors. Why would he give me training? "
In between, he was watching him playing many times. He was getting distracted because of this.
" Focus on your practice Parth. What happened to you today? Why are you getting distract? If it happens again, i'll replace you." captain warned him.
" I'm really sorry."he apologized him with folded hands. After two hours, one by one group left the ground and went home. Only his team and Ryan's team left. They're not practicing now, sitting at a place and observing them playing.
Darsh dribbled the ball and passed it to Parth. He couldn't grab it and ball went out of the line. Ryan and his team started laughing at him. Parth got embarrassed.
" Parth, don't mind them. You just focus on your practice. " one of the members of his team tapped his back and said.
" We'll surely win over this team. " Ryan said loudly. Parth listened him but didn't react anything. He kept playing.
They also left the court and went home. Only his team left there. They practiced for an hour. " Come on guys. It's enough for today. "his captain said, wiping the sweat on his face, " next Sunday, we"ll practice little long and harder."
" I won't go now. I wanna practice an hour more. You guys can leave. " Parth took the ball in his hand and said.
" Don't take them seriously Parth.You doing your best" Darsh put his hand on his shoulder and motivated him.
" Let him practice, Darsh if he wants. " captain said, " Don't forget to bring the ball tomorrow in the school. "turned his face to Parth and warned him.
" Okay, i"ll not forget to bring it tomorrow. " Parth assured him. Everybody left the court and went home. Only Parth left in the court. He practiced really hard for an hour. Ryan's words were echoing in his mind. But he took those words as an inspiration, not let himself down.
Around three o'clock, he returned home. He knocked the door. Lily came and opened the door for him.
" See yourself. You are completely wet from sweat. " Lily said while closing the gate, " Go and take bath. Till then i"ll heat the food for you.
" Okay" Parth said and went upstairs in his room. He sat on his bed. He was so tired, didn't have enough energy to take bath. He rested on the bed for ten minutes then took bath. He came downstairs and started eating the food.
" Where is grandma and pa?" Parth asked.
" They went to market with mummy. "Lily replied and sat on a chair, watching something in her phone. Parth completed his food and sat near his sister. She was watching a movie. She told him to watch the movie but he was not in good mood and he was very tired also.
" No, i want to sleep, feeling very tiredness. " he said and moved to his room.
He was laying on his bed and thinking about those comment and laugh. " How rude he is? " he thought, " he should learn some etiquette from his sister. She is so sweet, kind and friendly too. "
He felt asleep after sometime. When he woke up, it was completely dark outside. He looked at the clock, " Oops! It's seven o'clock. I slept so long and nobody came to wake me up. "he mumbled and rushed to the downstairs.
He saw his grandma, pa, Lily and mummy were sitting in a room and playing ludo.
" Oh! You woke up Smiley. Come here and help me in playing. " his grandma smiled looking at him and said.
Parth went to them and sat near his grandma. They played ludo, enjoyed a lot. Parth was feeling refreshed now.
Around nine o'clock, they had their dinner together. Tomorrow Parth has school band his mummy has to go office. So, they went to sleep, saying " good night" to one another.
Parth reached school at his usual time. He saw Eva was going ahead of him. "Eva..Eva.." he ran to her and patted on her shoulder. " Hi..Parth.why are you gasping like hell? " she asked, " Did you see any ghost? "and bursted out laughing. " I tell you one thing..please visit any Otolaryngologist. I'm calling you from the main gate but you're listening. So, i had to run to reach you." Parth said while gulping his deep breath. " Wow! you brought basketball today. Is it yours? " Eva took the ball from him and said. " No, it's not mine. It's our team's ball. " Parth replied, " yesterday, i was practicing little more so, i took it with myself. " " Oh! so you guys are working hard. Right?"Eva looked at him and said, " I wish, your hard work pays you back. " They're so involved in talking that they didn't notice when they reached in thr classroom. Darsh walked to them, seemed very excited. He said, " You know a n

Early morning, Parth woke up, " Omg, it's 7 o'clock already. " he rushed in the washroom, took bath within ten minutes, wore uniform and came downstairs holding his bag. " Good morning .. " he greeted everyone. " Why did no one wake me today. "he put his bag aside. " Give me breakfast. I'm getting late mummy. " Parth turned his face towards and said little louder. Lily came out of the kitchen with his breakfast, " Why don't you wake by yourself? Are we alarm for you? " She stared at him angrily and put the plate on the table in front of him. Grandma was busy in reading the newspaper. Parth looked around, " Oh?! Pa is not here. "he thought and got happy. He went near his grandma and whispered, " Grandma, it's really tough competition. I was thinking to practice more. "She understood what did he mean, " It's fine dear" she said while fixing her spectacles on her eyes which slided on her nose while reading the newspaper. He took h
It was sunday, no hurry to get up early morning. Parth woke up at 8 o'clock." Today, i have to go sport complex for basketball practice. " he thought but before brushing his teeth, he went in the balcony." Hi Parth! Good morning." Isla waved her hand and almost shouted from her compound." Good morning. " Parth replied and smiled. He looked around the compound to see Ryan's car. It was deep black Mercedes in which he used to go for the basketball practice. Parth had not seen him going college yet. It's because he used to go school earlier than Ryan." Will you... will you go for the basketball practice today? " She said.Parth nodded. He looked the time and said, " At 10 o'clock, i'll go. "" I want to go too. " She said, " Please wait for me . I'll come outside exactly at 10 o'clock. "Parth didn't want her to go with him but he couldn't say no directly.She rushed inside to get ready. Parth turned back to move i
Isla came out in her car for the school. She saw Parth was not there waiting for her outside his house. She asked the driver to stop the car and got down. She went to Parth's house and knocked the door. Lily came to open the gate. She looked at her trying to figure out if she knew her. She said, " Whom do you want to meet? "" Hi! I am Isla, Parth's friend. Is he at home? " Isla said very politely." Get inside. " Lily said." Sorry, i'm getting late for the school. Actually, i live here only in that building. " pointing to her house, she said. " next time. "" Parth left for the school fifteen minutes ago. " Lily said." Okay, fine. Then, i gotta go now. " Isla said, " Bye. " and rushed to her car.Lily thought, " How sweet she is? Parth already became her friend. "She closed the door and came inside." Who was there Lily? " Grandama said." Parth's school friend grandma. " Lily said while putting wet clothes on the ha
It was 6 o'clock morning, Parth woke up before ringing of the alarm. He was little frustrated. He couldn't leave the competition at this point and his grandpa was angry at him for playing. He had no idea what to do now. He had no option but to play. He dragged his chair in the balcony, took his book and started reading. He thought, " from monday, after the competition, i'll focus only on my study. No playing game nothing afterwards till the final exam. Anyhow i have yo get the scholarship and get admission in that college. " "What a surprise? How did you wake up without us waking you up? " Lily said when she found him waken up and studying so early morning. " No, need to surprise. I'm damm serious to my study. "Parth said. " Ohho.. is it so? " She winked her eye and said, " anyways, who is Isla? " " Friend "Parth said without looking at her. " Only friend? " Lily smiled " Yeah, O.N.l.Y.friend.did you get it? " Parth got annoyed
It was saturday afternoon, Parth just returned after practice. He was worried little. He didn't see Ryan since two days and he wasn't there too in the sports Complex with his teammates." Tomorrow, we have the competition but i didn't see him going outside these days for the practice." he thought, " he was not there today either but why am i thinking about him? Why am i feeling sad if i didn't see him? "" Parth, come down for the lunch. " Lily called him from the downstairs.He came in the courtyard. His grandma was waiting for him for the lunch." Come darling. " she said." Where is Pa? He will not eat? "" He had already eaten an hour ago. He is taking rest in his room."Lily also came to join them." Today, it's Isla birthday. "" Isla? " grandma looked at him and said," Who is she? "" That girl grandma who lives in that building. Our new neighbour. I told you that day she came looking for Parth. " Lily trie
Parth looked at the watch, it was about to nine o'clock. " Parth, what happened? What were you talking with them?" Darsh said. "It's nothing. " Parth said but his face was turned dim. " He was again embarrassing you?" Eva said, " I won't leave him now." she rushed to them but Darsh held her back and said, " Don't create any scene. Isla will feel bad. It's her birthday party, please don't spoil it. " " Right.. " Parth said. He handed his gift to Darsh and said, " Please give this gift to Isla on behalf of me. I need to go back. I have some urgent work. " " Wait, can't you stay till she cut the cake. After that we'll return together? " Darsh tried to make him understand. " Sorry, it will get so late. Please let me go and if she ask about you, make any excuse. " Parth said and stepped out of the building in hurry. Darsh and Eva couldn't understand what happened to him suddenly. He asked Eva about it because they were t
