At Turf 9
Karan is in room with all his team members discussing about the game. Only half hour was left for their match, everyone changed into their uniforms and got ready.
Karan was frequently checking his phone hoping she might call or message him but there wasn't any.
Both teams were informed to come on court.

Karan was about to keep his things in locker his phone rang he instantly checked it was Kiyara
"Wish you great luck".
He got a big smile on his face tho she won't be hear but at least she msged which made him happy.

The stadium was packed with eager fans, waving flags and chanting in support of their respective teams.

Turf 9

The coach started giving instructions to both the teams and Karan was looking at 1st row where he had book seats for Kiyara and her people, he saw Sahil but to his disappointment couldn't see Kiyara there.  He knew still he was having hopes on.

Match started
As the game began, both teams showcased their skills with lightning-fast passes, impressive dribbling, and accurate shooting. The crowd erupted into cheers with every basket scored, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Karan, the captain of his team, led by example with his exceptional ball-handling and strategic play. Meanwhile, the Taiwan team, known for their agility and teamwork, put up a fierce competition, refusing to back down.

The game was neck and neck, with both teams trading baskets and defending fiercely. As the final minutes ticked away, the score remained tied, intensifying the tension on the court and in the stands.

They got intermission of 15 minutes. Some players went to fresh-up while some were practising on filed.

Karan and few more players were practising on one side, Karan passed the ball to his player but he missed and that ball got hit on a girl who was sitting on 1st row VIP place. He went to check on her and to his surprise he saw Kiyara there. The girl who got hit was Nayra. He thought he was daydreaming so he slowly went near her. He had mixed emotions going inside, his heart beating fast.

Rahul who missed the ball went near them "hey are you ok? I'm really sorry"
Nayar : Yes I'm ok (checking her hand)
Karan : Rahul bring pain relief spray. (Said from a few distance)

He didn't call Kiyara (who was sitting facing back) thinking if he called and it would turn out to be someone else.

Kiyara was checking Nayra's hand. She heard Karan was behind she turned her head gave a smile to him and winked her eye.
Karan's eyes were landing only on her "it's her yes it's her Karan" (his thoughts) he passed a smile to her.

Rahul came running catching his breath and passed the spray. Nayra took the spray looked at Karan and said "I'm fine". Karan looked at Nayra "Ohh ok and we are really sorry".
Nayra : Oh please don't and passed a smile blushing.
Karan : Got to go, bye (looking at Kiyara and waving hands to his friends at the same time)
Kiyara waved him bye and he left smiling.
