Truthfully Yours

Chapter 63

I glanced at Raghu, who glanced back at me with the same look. We both then looked at everyone trying to read our faces. It was utter silence flowing in the air around us.

"So. You both are not school students?" Rehan asked with his mouth agape.

We both nodded our heads.

"Neither college ones?" Reyansh asked.

"Freaking 24?" Both asked in unison.

"Yeah!" We both declared making them both slump back to their seats while digesting the shocking revelations.

"I'm Vir Singhania and he's Raghuram Shah. We're 24 years old, graduates in higher chemistry, and NCB officers."

"NCB?" Saanvi asked looking at me, clearly ignoring Raghu's presence.

"Narcotics Control Bureau." I cleared and she was shocked.

"Mr. Birendra Acharya is our department head, and Raghu and Akanksha Roy are my colleagues. We were working on a mission that involved tracing the black trade markets and drug smuggling areas of our city. As far as we investigated, Mr. Anuj Sharma's school was the only educational institution around that area and we could get more information from there, as it was something undercover."

Raghu gently slid a picture on the table where myself and Raghu were wearing our NCB identity in front of our office. The picture reached Madhvi last. Her eyes darted between me and the picture.

"So it was your picture and not your father's?" She asked me and I nodded slowly. She didn't react much before nodding.

"We transformed ourselves into teenagers to enter the school."

"To fool me?" Anuj asked getting a smack from his wife.

"On my command!" Our chief said making everyone look at him for a second before turning back to us.

"We can't reveal more of our job as it is highly confidential. But we're telling this much because, somehow our presence affected a somewhat in the school as well as some lives," Raghu said and I sighed glancing at Shyam.

He was silently breaking into tears.

"Vansh! Look, big bro, Shyam is crying. Won't you ask him what happened?" I asked and Vansh blinked at me before jumping down his chair as he walked to him patting his shoulder.

"Why are you crying, big bro?" He asked patting his back and wiping his tears. Vansh gave him a glass of water to console him. Shyam was surprised at his act.

"Vir raised Vansh, singlehandedly even though his grandma was a great help to him. We've both lost our parents at a very young age. Since then, we both were staying behind each other's effort and in every step. We both studied hard, worked part-time, and faced a lot. But together!" Raghu said as he placed his arm over my shoulder. I chuckled nodding.

"We got another good friend, Akanksha, during our college." He said and I glanced at Akanksha, felt a little awkward as I felt guilty for making her life hell.

But she smiled at us and mouthed 'Go on'. I smiled back and nodded.

"Then during our second time schooling, we've got these triplets, friends, a sister, and a brother-in-law together. But I got my beautiful wife and son too!" I said and Madhvi's cheeks turned red despite the serious discussion. She tried to hide it from being obvious but we got badly teased by the triplets.

"It all happened and we are now here. If anybody wants to thrash us for this, C'mon!" I said and everyone narrowed their eyes at us with a smile.

"It means we can beat you both?" Reyansh asked curiously.
