...Stayed Youthful Together, Blessed With Adulthood Together Forever

We were writing AUs in Abhigya AT and somehow the idea of doing a longer version of an Abhigya AU together struck us. This FF takes you through Abhi and Pragya's life journey from kindergarten friends to soulmates. Thus this Collaborative FF was born.

Chapter 1

It was my first day at school. How I wished Prem had also come with me. I was so excited. Mum always said that once you start school you'll slowly become an adult one day and I can't simply wait for that day to come. Adults have all the luxuries in the world and kids like me only get rules which I don't have a problem with because the first thing that comes across my mind when I get a rule is how am I going to break this rule? So once I've become an adult, no one can stop me. The first thing that I did after dad dropped me to school was kiss him on the cheek. I bid him goodbye and ran towards the entrance with my small backpack as I was told I would be received from a teacher there. It has been five minutes since I started waiting in the queue. All of a sudden I heard a girl and she was poking me from behind.

The girl had tears flowing through her cheeks. She asked me when the teacher would come. By that time, the teacher came and took us inside the classroom. I sat on the first bench. I saw her standing not knowing where to go. "Hey" I called her and signed to sit near me. She was still weeping. I asked her the reason. She told me that she didn't want to come to school and wanted to be at home with her mom. I told her not to cry as school would be fun. As everyone settled on their places, the teacher asked our names. I said, "Abhishek". She was next. She told that her name was"Pragya". After hearing everyone's names, the teacher started teaching us Alphabets. I took my book. I searched my bag for pencil. I couldn't find it. She poked me again and gave me a pencil as she had two pencils.

She

I didn't want to be there. I didn't understand why I have to go to school when I have a mom. She can just teach me at home. I am nervous. Mom took me to school by walking as it was only two minutes from our home. She kissed my forehead and literally forced me to go where I was supposed to wait for my teacher. I did not want to let go of her hand but she let me go for the first time ever and as soon as she was out of my sight, I felt empty. I started crying. I just don't want to be here as my thoughts went back to home where I could be playing with dolls and eating sweets. Then I noticed a boy who was waiting in my queue so I poked him.

I asked him when the teacher would come. The teacher came before he could answer. The teacher led us to a classroom. Everyone went and sat on one of the benches in the class. I was still missing my mom. I didn't know where to sit. I didn't know anyone there. I heard someone call me. It was the boy who was standing in the queue. He signaled me to sit beside him. He asked me the reason for crying. I told him that I didn't want to come to school and I wanted to be with my mom at home. He told me not to cry and told that school would be fun. How could school be fun? Playing with mom at home would be fun. School was strange and frightening. But he said it would be fun. When teacher asked our names, he told that his name was Abhishek. The teacher started teaching us alphabets. He was playing with his bag. I realized he didn't have a pencil and I gave mine. Mom had given me extra pencils and erasers as I was prone to lose things.

She offered me her pencil. I was touched. A girl never had helped me before. In my neighbour hood, whenever I would get stuck with my bike or whenever I was away from home and had the need for a water, I ultimately ask for anyone's help nearby. No girls did ever help me. Some would just huff and walk away and Some would say we're not allowed to talk to strangers. I could understand that but who can I harm really? All I ask is for a little help. My understanding was in limits once I decided that boys are the ones who run to help me. I was so happy that a girl helped me for the first time and that too when I didn't even ask her. Can you believe it? Without me even asking? On top of that she was helping me with sincerity. I felt on top of the world. It's a small gesture but it was the biggest gesture of my life from a girl. From a girl? I was so happy at that moment that I didn't even realize when I quickly got closer to her and pecked her on her cheeks whilst she was stunned. Her skin was smooth and soft. I felt dazed. I realized it was also my first kiss to a girl. I was just too happy. I put my hand forward towards her with a big smile plastered on my face, "friends?

She wiped her cheeks with her hand and slightly frowned at me. But the frown didn't last. She smiled the next second. She accepted my as handshake offer as well friendship. After the class got over, we ran towards the entrance. My dad was waiting for me. She left my hands when she saw her mom. She ran towards her mom and I ran towards my dad. My dad lifted and twirled me. As we were going home in our car, dad asked me about my first day at school. I said that it was fun and told about the girl. He was surprised that I talked about a girl. I told that she was not like others and she gave me pencil when I needed. Dad laughed and asked her name. I said, "Prrragya". In the night, I was sitting on the kitchen desk while my mom was cooking dinner. I told her that I had got a new friend and her name was Pragya. Mom tousled my hair. She asked me to have dinner and sleep as I can talk about Pragya the next day too.

She

As I gave him my pencil, he froze for few seconds and I was wondering what had happened to him? It was kind of creepy. As he held the pencil from my hand, he still kept staring at me so I was waving at his face. I thought he might have got lost in thoughts during day light. "Weird boy" , I thought to myself and had a chuckle. But it looked like my voice brought him back as he looked directly in my eyes, without thanking me he just came closer and kissed me. "Ahhh" I screamed internally. No boy was supposed to kiss me until I was ready. Damn he did it without my permission. Without my permission?! My fist kiss? It's my first kiss from a boy. His touch was soft. I looked at him suspiciously as he was bringing his hand forward then he said the unexpected, "friends?"

I was startled. But he seemed to be a good boy. I accepted his handshake and smiled. After the bell rang, everyone started running. I held his hand and we ran towards the entrance. I saw my mom. I ran towards her. She bent down and kissed my cheeks. She lifted me. I was talking about Abhishek while we were going home by walk. Mom had a suspicious look when I said that he kissed me. I told Mom that he was like me in losing things. I told her that he lost his pencil and giggled. When I reached home, I was disappointed that my brother was not at home. I asked mom why didn't he come from school even after school got over. Mom explained me that my brother was a big boy and big boys have more school hours. I was drawing when my brother came home. He asked me about my first day at school. "Pranav" shouted mom. Mom asked him to freshen up before playing with me. He came after having a shower. I told him about Abhishek and he told me that he will come to school one day to see my friend.

Thank you, until next time 😳...

Didnt you guys just talk abt this yesterday??? I AM SO EXCITED!!

RES. Will be unreserved in four days, cant wait!!

*Four days later*

Unres. Its been four days and this is the first thing I do when I get home. Its like my little treat that I've been waiting to read. 😳

I dont even know where to start...this was the most adorable thing I have ever read!! Curious, how old are they supposed to be? I'm imagining kindergarteners/first graders? I can't even pick out what the cutest part of the story was. Maybe when he poked her and tried to make her feel better? Or when she gave him the pencil? Or how he was so honored by her offering him a pencil!! Or how he was so happy that he gave her a kiss? Or how they couldn't stop talking about each other to their parents? LOVED EVERYTHING!!!

If I had to pick though, this was my favorite part:

I was so happy that a girl helped me for the first time and that too when I didn't even ask her. Can you believe it? Without me even asking? On top of that she was helping me with sincerity. I felt on top of the world. It's a small gesture but it was the biggest gesture of my life from a girl. From a girl? I was so happy at that moment that I didn't even realize when I quickly got closer to her and pecked her on her cheeks whilst she was stunned.

So freaking cute. I loved the little details. Like how Pragya's mom gave Pragya a little glare when she told her how Abhi kissed her. Or how Abhi's dad found it amusing when Abhi kept talking about Pragya. Also, how refreshing to have Abhi with parents!!

Can't wait to read whats next! This gave me "Hum Tum" feels, which is one of my favorite movies :)

Talent se bhare-Nadz and Nives, thank youu for such a cute collaboration!! You guys rocked it! 👏

Chapter 2

I was missing my brother Prem. He had been unwell for some time. He had fever and mum told him to rest for few days until he gets better and was up and running. That was my second day at school. It is like I am free. No mum, no dad, could do whatever I like. But then again not really as my teacher would keep eye on us. Nevertheless I was so excited to go to school and see my new friends and especially the girl, Pragya her name was. As I entered my class room, students were already in their seats and two places were vacant. One was next to a boy who looked at me curiously and the other one was next to Pragya, as the boy was talking to me with his eyes, telling me to sit next to him. He was a sweet boy but I never felt comfortable enough. His name was Arjun but he likes to be called Ari. But then as the teacher came, I automatically sat next to Pragya, without looking what Arjun's reaction would be. I just looked at the teacher listening to his talks whilst I could see from the corner of my eye Pragya was looking at me. When I looked at her she just smiled at me, then straight away she looked at Arjun with a frown for a reason unknown to me.

Everyone started writing. As I was writing, I saw Pragya and Arjun exchanging glances often. I asked her the reason in a whispering voice. The teacher caught us talking. She warned me not to talk. As the class got over, everyone starting running out of the class. I held her and stopped her. I asked her the reason. She said she will tell and asked me to run. I told her that she would run away after seeing her mom and that was the reason for me stopping her. She told that she had a fight with Arjun before I came to class. He wanted to sit besides Pragya and Pragya asked him to not sit as I would sit there. Arjun had told her that everyone would like to sit near him but she doesn't let him sit near her. Arjun had told that he is the rockstar. Pragya argued with him. Then they had challenged each other as to where I would sit near Arjun or Pragya. "I won the challenge", grinned Pragya. As we were talking, her mom had come searching for her. She asked Pragya what was she doing. Pragya introduced me to her mom. "Hi Maa", I said and raised my hand for a high-five. She wasn't expecting that. My dad also came by that time. Pragya's mom asked my dad whether I was his kid. My dad nodded yes. She said, "He's a cute kid" and pulled my cheeks.

She

I had my breakfast with Maa and my Dad. I had my favourite andaa burji and no one can beat my Maa's andaa burji. "It was yummy for my tummy". My Maa taught me that phrase whenever she had tried to make me eat when I was two years younger. I looked on the left side, and my brother was not paying attention to his food. I gave a sigh, kissed his cheek and told him to eat. He just looked at me and said he wasn't hungry. I nudged him and he just took a tongue out and went away hence my Dad went after him. My mum came to me as I was already dressed for school, after finishing the breakfast and putting away the dishes, and said "let's go".

We reached my school within five minutes of walk. I gave her a hug and ran to my class as I was uber excited, maybe because for the first time I made a friend. Not only just a friend, a friend who is a boy. I went to my class and sat down. I've noticed Arjun as he was about sit next to my seat and told him not to sit there as my friend Abhi would sit there. We both ended up in a small argument which landed up in a challenge of who Abhi will sit by. Then I just saw Abhi who did seem abit lost for few seconds as he was looking at the empty seats. As soon as the teacher came, he sat with me. I was so happy, firstly he chose to sat by me even if he was confused at first but his feet automatically landed him here, secondly I won my challenge. Second day of school can not even get better. When I was looking at Abhi he saw me and I gave him a smile, he's such a cute friend I thought. I can be his friend forever. Then due to my victory I gave a look at Arjun that he remembers he lost a challenge and by me, yes by Pragya.

We started writing as the teacher started teaching us. I saw him wanting to know something. I moved near to him. He whispered something. Before I could ask him again, the teacher saw us. He warned him not to talk again. After the class got over, I was about to hold his hands and run but he held my hands and stopped me from moving. I stared at him. He asked me why I looked at Arjun. I told him that we can talk as we run but he didn't listen. He told me that I would run if I see my mom. Yes, I would. How can I not get excited when I see my mom? Wouldn't he run if he sees his mom? I told him about my challenge with Arjun. He had a proud look on his face when I happily said that I won the challenge. My mom came searching for me. I told her that he was the boy I was talking about. He told hi to her and was expecting a high five from her. He behaved as if my mom was his friend. I was wondering if he behaved the same way with elders as he behaved with his friends.. I giggled while my mom was startled. A tall man came searching for Abhi. I then got to know he was Abhi's dad. Mom pulled Abhi's cheeks and told that he was cute. I was happy that mom liked my new friend. While walking, I turned around and smiled at him. He smiled back from his father's shoulders.

As I looked over my dad shoulder's I saw a radiant, a glint in her eyes when I smiled at her. As passing days I have got to know more about Pragya, like what's her favourite colour, food, what she likes doing free time. She was such a cute, sensible friend I thought. It was the weekend. I spent time with my family and brother. We went to the park whilst my parents chatted away looking at us sitting on the bench. I and Prem were playing in the rides, enjoying the slides, swings and even had our favourite ice-creams. Weekend was nearing to end and as my brother was well, he was also going to attend school with me. Happy me. But we were yet to find out if he would be in the same class or a different one. The weekend flewby and Monday approached. I did the daily tasks in the morning to get ready for school and this time I waited for my brother to get ready. After we both were ready to go dad dropped us off. Prem had to go principal's office whilst I entered my class.

I entered the class and looked around as I had an extra duty that day. I was looking for another vacant seat. I wished Prem could sit with me if he belonged to the same class. I heard the teacher coming so I went and sat near Pragya. He started taking class. I was looking at the door often expecting Prem. Pragya patted my shoulder. I was about to tell about my brother joining our school but she put her finger on her mouth and signed me to be silent. Class got over but Prem didn't come. Pragya held my hands and started running as usual. I stopped near our class entrance. Before she could ask any question I remembered that I had left my pencil on the desk. So I went inside. I picked up my pencil that had fallen on the floor and got up. Pragya came inside running. I asked her what happened as she was shocked. She pointed her finger towards outside and Prem was standing there. I told her that he was my brother Prem and we were twins. I asked Prem about his class. He pointed to the classroom next to mine. Pragya extended her hand towards Prem. Prem was a very shy boy unlike me. He rarely spoke and would feel uncomfortable around new people. I was surprised when he held Pragya's hands after a very small hesitation. All the three of us held our hands together and ran towards our parents.

She

As I walked home with my mother it started raining. So we thought to run to the closest tree or something that can cover us from the rain. But nothing was available. I saw Arjun passing by, and he was walking too it seems, as he looked at mine and Mom's direction. He looked at me first but carried on walking but as soon. As he passed my mother and saw her, he came running and asked my mother, "Aunti ji, are you waiting for someone to pick you up?". To my surprise he was so polite, not the rude boy attitude that I was expecting from him. My mother just told him that we were waiting for the rain to slow down so we can carry on walking as the school walk to home is only five minutes away. He was ever so generous when he offered my mother his umbrella and said, "Aunti ji, I am just two roads away from home and you need the umbrella more than me" and tried giving it to my mother. My mother was hesitant yet he persisted and won. My mother promised him to give it back the very next day even though he said there was no need for it. After taking his leave from my mother, he just looked at me and gave me a wink before he walked away which my mother didn't notice. I was shocked to say the least and I was annoyed at him. I thought he was being polite to my mom because maybe I judged him too quick, but then I was not too sure after that.

As we got home, we had enthusiastic greetings from our brother and my dad. The weekend went so fast that I didn't even realize until I realized it was Monday. Weekend was always about playing with my brother and spending quality time at home with family and reading books. This time it was no different. I absolutely love reading. After the rain, reading is the next thing I love. This time there was no rain during the weekend so there was no playing outside in the rain, no getting wet and coming back drenched at home, no scolding from mum or dad because of the cold I end up catching always due to the rain. Now it was Monday, back to school, got ready, kissed my brother and dad on the check, took my leave and took hold of my mother's hand and went on to school. I told my mum half way through the school I can walk my way here as I didn't want to bother her always, she didn't want to leave but I told her otherwise. As soon as my mother left, I ran to school and entered my class.

It seemed that Abhi didn't have the habit of coming early. He came to class before me only on the first day of school. I was waiting for him. He came to the class and was confused. He looked around the class for vacant seats. We had become good friends. Why was he searching for a vacant seat somewhere else instead of sitting near me? I though that the boy gets confused almost everyday. He wasn't paying attention to the teacher. I patted him and he started to talk. I asked him not to talk as we were prone to get caught by the teacher. He was restless. He was looking at the door often. When I started running after school got over, he stopped near the entrance. He went inside the classroom at once. I couldn't understand what he was doing. Abhi had a reason to stop me from running. I sighed and started playing with an old cool drink can on the floor. The can hit someone's shoes. It was Abhi. When did he come out of the class? I was playing near the class entrance. I didn't see him coming out. I asked him shall we go. He said that he wants to see Abhi. I went inside the class immediately. Abhi was inside the class too. How can a person be at two places at the same time. Was he a ghost? I was terrified while Abhi inside the class came out and saw Abhi outside the class. I got relieved when Abhi said that they were twins and his brother's name was Prem. He looked exactly like Abhi except that he looked calm and shy. I put my hand forward towards Prem and he held my hand. I gave my another hand to Abhi and we three started running.
