I’ve learnt what you taught

" Andy!!! shoot it!! shoot it!!" screamed Mr.Henry with all his energy, but Andy suddenly stopped in the middle of the ground staring on the strands near by and he missed the goal, his team lost the match and his nation now can be kicked out of the World Cup Football Tournament. No one had ever imagined that the world's best stricker could miss that one; but he missed it completely.
Yes I am talking about Andy Henry Stevens, who is the world's best striker but he was not the same, before he had met Hanna in High school. He was a very ordinary boy with nothing special but after he met her, he became very special with huge talents cropped out now. But last night he had a quarrel with her, and the worst had happened to him, the most unimaginable... she left him... which broke him complelely. Everyone was disappointed by him, even he himself was disappointed with himself.
Coach Mr.Henry called Andy to his cabin " You are the best dear, You are the best... What's wrong with you, dear???" Mr.Henry asked in a very soft voice. Andy couldn't react and there was a complete silence in the room. Andy spoke in the midst of painful sobs, trying to let out all his pain,"I was the best... I was best dad... I never expected this from her. Just because I refused her for the first time in last 8years, she left me. How can she leave me all alone after being so long? How much I've changed for her..." Mr.Henry understood what was wrong with his son; but he needed his player back so a coach took over from a father, he gave him a notepad and a pen and said ,"Write what you feel, write each and every moment of your relationship. I'll be joining you in an hour." and he left him alone in the silence of that room. For a few minutes he could not stop his tears to roll down his face, but he picked the pen and started writing from the first day they met in the canteen and how from that day they had there lunch together, always. How they became best friend. The summer vacations they had spend together, the assignments they did with each other. How they whispered in the classes sitting next to each other even in front of the teachers.
He wrote word by word, line by line, para by para... He had written almost each and every moment that he had preserved in his heart. He poured out all the memories of what he has, and what Hanna had made him. He knew he could never repay her by any means. He decided to move ahead with her memories only. Before leaving the cabin he left a note for his coach
         "I'll win the cup for her..."
                                      Andy
And he made the come back like a star player. In his next match with Germany he alone scored 7 goals and he didn't stop here, he had won the cup for her. He didn't look back from that day, with some sweet and sour memories of Hanna he moved forward in his life.
