Part 24 : Knowing the past

||Shubman||

I received a call from Anya this morning asking if I'm free and can visit her place today and I gave my nod to it.

I rang the doorbell and Aryan opened it.

"Hey Aryan" I greeted him.

"Hi bhaiya" he greeted back. "Andar aiye" he added and lead me inside.

"You're on time" Anya descended from the stairs.

"Cricketers are always on time" I smirked.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked looking at her outfit. It seemed she had a meeting to attend.

"Yes I've a very important meeting today" she replied.

"Why did you call me here then?" I asked in confusion.

"To take care of him" she said pointing at Aryan.

"What?!" Aryan and I reacted together.

"You called me to babysit a seventeen year old boy?" I asked in disbelief.

"What the hell di" Aryan said in annoyance. "I can take care of myself" he added in his defense.

"You better keep quiet. I hope you remember what happened the last time I left you alone. Just be grateful that I didn't tell mom anything" Anya eyed him and Aryan rolled his eyes.

"But why me?" I asked Anya.

"Shubman please, I can't trust anyone else apart from you. It's just a matter of three hours" Anya requested.

"Mom has gone to visit my aunt and she won't be back until tomorrow morning. I promise I'll come back just after the meeting is over" she added.

"Fine" I rolled my eyes.

"Thank you so much" she said in exaltation.

"Have great time together" she said to us and left.

I sat on the sofa and Aryan sat beside me.

"What was Anya talking about? What did you do last time?" I asked him.

"She saw me with my girlfriend on the couch. She was on top of me" he replied embarrassingly.

"What?" I laughed. "Were you making out with her?" I asked.

"No but I was about to" he replied sheepishly.

"You got guts bro" I laughed at him.

"Don't tease me" Aryan laughed.

"Alright" I laughed back.

"So what should we do for the next three hours?" I asked him.

"I had to clean my room today and arrange everything" he said getting up from the sofa.

"I'll help" I followed him to his room.

"Let's clean the shelves first" Aryan said.

"As you say" I agreed.

I helped Aryan in emptying all the shelves and also stuff from the box of his bed.

"What are these?" I asked pointing at the cardboard boxes.

"My childhood memories" he smiled looking at them.

"I mean my childhood pictures" he added after a few seconds.

"Let's see them" I said excitedly, hoping to see Anya's pictures.

"Okay" Aryan smiled and opened the boxes.
