Another day.

At the playground

Shaun was introducing him to his teammates.

Shaun: Mike. This is Johnson. This is David. It is Peter. This is Kate...

Shaun to Everyone: This is Mike.

Mike: Hey!

They start playing...

Mike was playing for a team, after a very long time.

Mike knew some tricks, he tells them about that.

They weren't the pro player like a Mike.

And eventually, Mike isn't pro anymore.

There were some who were better than Mike.

He was trying hard to be that.

They practiced for hours and hours. From morning to noon.

Everyone layed down on grass...

Shaun: Mike, on 27 December. There's a one match.

Mike: oh.

Shaun: I want you to come and take part.

Mike: sure I will. I'd played before some.

Shaun: cool.

25th December.

Mike, with his family, goes to church.

Prayer starts...

After prayers, there was a function next to church.

In the villa,
Beautiful songs were being playing by guitarist.
Religious dance.
Old men were having wine.
Women's were listening to poetry session.

Mike walks to first floor, Ciri saw Mike.
She shouted his name.
Mike looked back.
Ciri gets closer.

Ciri: Merry Christmas, Mike!

Mike: you too.

Ciri: You're looking like a man in this suit.

Mike: I'm man.
