Past
*Aryan Pov *
I entered the room and the smell of past memories hit my nose instantly ....
My room
My World
I still remember when I used hide behind that cupboards .
And mom would come to find me and search everything except cupboard knowing that everytime I will hide in that place .
The smile appeared on my face remembering those sweet moments .
Suddenly , My phone beeped...
I came down stairs and walked towards big glass windows.
It's been years since I came here particularly this part of house.
After that water incident , I never set the foot near pool
We shift our home due to this sole reason . B ecause this house has swimming pool and due to my fears my parents decided to move out ..
I came outside and saw Aakriti waiting for me .
" I hope , I am not late " she said
" No you are on time " I said and looked at pool .
The warm sun rays were sparkling on the crystal clear waters . It was looking so calm and steady .
It was looking beautiful but I know as soon as I step into it will convert into nightmare .
"So, are you ready ?" She asked making me aware of surroundings and I nod my head timidly .
I turned around to change but she grabbed my hand and said
" Today , there is no need to change "
I looked at her slightly confused .
She walk towards the edge of pool and sit on the edge with her legs dipped inside the water .
" First , we are going to work on your water fear . Other things can wait ."
She said amd slightly pat the place beside her .
I took deep breath and walk near her .
I looked at water .
It was so deep enough to make me terrorize .
Maybe that was bad decision .
" I can't do this Aakriti . It feels like this will water will engulf me the moment I set foot inside it ."
" Nothing is going to happen . Trust me "
She smiled slowly ...
I slowly sat beside her folding my legs .
Still not dipping legs inside .
" You know what . I was really scared when I came to Mumbai for first time " she said and I looked at her .
" This was something I have never ever done in my life like traveling alone , talking to new people , starting new life in different city . I was really scared at that time . But then I realised that if I just stay and get sway away with this fear . I may not get things that i really want for myself ...and gradually after some years there will no fear just regrets will left with me "
" Now look at me , I am not that scared anymore ...and I am gradually getting along with this new lifestyle ." She said proudly and I chuckled at her slightly .
" This thought came to your mind it means whole universe wants you to over come this fear and swim once again in the waves of water freely without any fears .
" Do you really think so ? "
I asked her
" Yes , absolutely. Who knows after some days or months you will enjoy the swimming so much that you will not want to come out of water ? "
