Part 84- Lies And Truths

"Truth." Aryan said with a smirk wanting to play it safe, enjoying the annoyed look on Shahana's face.

"You sure about that?" Shahana asked with a smirk now.

"Uh- yeah sure." Aryan said hesitantly a little scared now.

"Okay... what's the biggest lie that you've ever told?" Shahana asked with an evil smirk, raising an eyebrow.

'It's a trap.' Aryan thought to himself regretfully.

"Oh hello, where are you lost? Come on tell us." Shahana said waving a hand in front of Aryan's face, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh- okay so..." Aryan said searching his mind for a lie that he told which wasn't recent or related to Shahana.

"It was a few years ago--- and somehow, someway, me and Riya were the only ones home-" Aryan began to say going into storytelling mode to prolong saying the lie.

"Out of all the lies you could've told why did you have to pick a lie that involved me, Ari?" Riya asked in a whiney voice.

"Hawh did you guys throw another crazy party that no one knows about? I'm telling Auntie and Uncle." Ranbir said jokingly.

"No, this time it's actually worse than a crazy party." Aryan said sheepishly, confusing everyone except Riya.

"So we were both home alone, and we got bored real quick, so we thought why not go outside somewhere and have fun, now since we were both teens none of us knew how to drive, and it was Sunday so all the drivers were on a break..." Aryan said trailing off with an embarrassed smile.

"Oh my God, what did you do?" Shahana asked amused.

"So this one thought that 'oh well driving can't be that hard, can it?' And got inside one of the cars and tried to drive it." Riya said pointing a finger at Aryan, when he remained silent, as a way to pin all the blame on him.

"Hey I remember that you were completely on board with the idea at that time, so don't turn on me now." Aryan said in his defense.

"It ended really badly didn't it?" Prachi asked making a face, knowing that something was going to happen.

"No actually, it went pretty well, after driving around in the driveway for a bit, I got the hang of driving." Aryan said smiling, surprising everyone.

"Yeah, I was actually very impressed by Ari's driving skills." Riya said giving Aryan a proud smile.

"And then we went to a movie theater nearby, and watched movies all day." Aryan said with a soft smile, thinking back to the event.

"Okay that's great, but where is the lie?" Shahana asked, everyone else equally as confused.

"Uh... so everything... went downhill... when we... came back... home." Aryan said with an embarrassed smile, while Riya shook her head in regret.

"Get to the point dude." Ranbir said when Aryan remained silent, eager to know.

"Okay... so when we came back home I parked the car in the driveway but... the gear was still in... drive... so the minute we got out of the car... the car started to roll backward and it hit several other cars that were also in the driveway, kind of like a domino effect, not 1 but 10 cars were wrecked that day and when our parents came back home we pretended like we had no idea how that happened, they believed us and ended up firing the driver who was responsible for the car we drove, thinking that he was the one who left the car running. To this day our parents don't know that it was us who did that, the end." Aryan said quickly, out of breath, both him and Riya looking at the floor with regretful faces, while everyone else looked shocked.
