A NEW BEGINNING
Eezee Net will be holding a Press conference in two days' time after tweeting of Ayoze Ryan intent to retire from the basketball profession. While the fans of the game
are in uproar, the energy among other pro seems to be relief. There's now one less difficult opponent to face.
But one thing was in common, everyone wants to know the reason of his departure but could do nothing than to wait for the next two days.
The other professionals have been trying to contact him, but this man seems to be out of reach.
Despite the uproar caused by a certain someone, it seems this person had no idea about it. Standing upright while he has luggage beside him, Ryan's figure was exuding chilling vibes. He searched his pocket for a pack a cigarette, perhaps due to his mind being troubled he couldn't find it after few minutes of searching he finally saw a pack with a single cigarette sticks inside. He fumbled his pocket for his lighter, but he couldn't find that also, out of frustration he tossed away the cigarette pack and the cigarette stick away. He screamed out in frustration.
Despite expecting this outcome, and he believed he was mentally prepared for it, this betrayal was just something too difficult to accept.
Eezee Net was a team he found with group of friends. Goldstein was the rich friend who due to his height and lack of skill decided to become their sponsor thus becoming the team owner. The first team that won the WBE Championship were his group of friends and those he recruited himself.
Well, that's all in the past in the now. He doesn't know what the future holds but he's certain about just one thing. ' HE'S COMING BACK FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP '.
Suddenly a car pulled up in front of him. He was stunned momentarily because he was certain he hadn't called an uber driver yet and he was wearing a face mask so it's
quite surprising to see a car Infront of him.
"Surprised to see me asshole?" A female voice said after winding down the car's window.
"Huh! Lena!!!" Stunned was an understatement to Ryan's reaction.
"Why are you acting as though you've seen a ghost" Lena said amused by his reaction.
"Hmm... not that i just wasn't expecting you to be here" He Stuttered.
"Or you are rather feeling guilty" she said giving him a contemptuous look.
Ryan could not find any response to give so he silently hung his head low.
Lena just gave him an innocent smile as she highlighted the car and help put his luggage in the car's trunk.
The drive was rather silent. While she has a lot of questions to ask him, she decided not to ask yet. If there's anyone who understands him best, then it's definitely her.
she knew how much passion he has for the game and also his dream which is far from being achieved. Everyone might think he's after being the best at the competition but
only she knew that's far from his dream, precisely why she felt his retirement was a scheme and not something he'll do willingly unless....
"It's not like you sustained a lifetime injury, right?" She suddenly asked.
He was stunned with her question but then he smiled, of course this girl knows everything about him.
"Shouldn't you be the happiest person now that I'm retired i won't have a reason not to spend time with you?" He replied teasingly. But that answer was enough for her.
"So, you were kicked out then.... serves you right... You abandoned me for the past five years just for you to also get abandoned yourself." Lena said giving a smug look.
"Huh!!" He was embarrassed to say anything.
"So, you're going back, right?" She asked, after being certain of the situation.
"Yeah, i guess so" He replied after taking a pause to ponder over something.
"Well then, i think I'll have you to myself for a year then and make you have a taste of how those five years without you went." She said smiling.
"So, what's the plan now?" She asked.
"Plan?? I guess I'll still need sometime before i can come up with that. For now, guess I'll have to work in your restaurant... I'm okay with any positions that are available" He replied.
"Oh. alright then. We're off to a new beginning then. I guess"
