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 ? "
