Chapter 32: Changes

Aryan was a bit surprised by her action but didn't react and left his hand in hers.
Aryan and Ananya got back home, and Aryan escorted her to her doorstep.
Ananya looked like she wanted to say something but ultimately decided against it.
She waved at Aryan again and entered her house. Aryan stood there for a few minutes after she had entered her house before walking towards his.
Priya and Riya had fallen asleep on the sofa with the TV still on. Aryan looked at both his mother and sister before smiling.
He picked up the remote and switched off the TV before going upstairs. He came down with a large blanket and covered them with it.
They both clenched the blanket for warmth. Aryan swore in his mind to make both of them proud through his cricket.
