Hi ! I am Kritika and after reading fanfics here I am writing mine.. it’s based on AbhiRa from when they were young (age 12), to them being 17 and a heartbreak, and meeting again at 25, for NeiRohi ‘s marriage.
1. (Also btw the story starts from when all four are in same class, and are 12.)
At Udaipur International School:
“Class, we are now going to work in 4s for the science experiment.” Their science teacher spoke.
“Yaar this is too boring!” Aarohi sighed. She hated science, it was too difficult for her, all the chemicals and stuff. Her fav was Art, and Maths.
“We all know you like art and maths, chipkali.” Neil whispered.
“Don’t call me chipkali, chamkadar!” Aarohi said, annoyed.
“Neil, keep quiet!” Their teacher, Nisha Ma’am said.
“Par Ma-” Neil paused. “Ma’am, is it okay if Abhi and Akshu worked in different group with me, and Aarohi with Aryan, Aisha and Samar?”
The teacher ignored him, as she knew Aarohi would decline working with the Named.
Aarohi stomped her foot over Neil’s. He gave a silent scream of pain.
“Aaru!” The silent Akshu, finally spoke. “Don’t do that!”
“He wants -” Aaru half whispered, ” no! He wants me to work with that chipku Aisha!”
Abhi looked at the clock. ” 1 more minute and we’re out of here Aarohi. Calm.”
“What did you say Abhimanyu? Oh haha, you all don’t have one minute more to leave, we have double science, it’s a Thursday! So I pulled a few strings, and now you have both your science lessons together !” Nisha looked at the clock. 1 hour left till lunch. And hold on, Aarohi you’ll be glad to know that in this lesson we’re doing the experiment!”
The class shouted in excitement. “Calm down! I’ll need some helpers. So Let’s go with… Aarohi, Akshara, Aryan and Samar !” Nisha said. Aaru crumpled her face, in anger, but remembered what her Akshu Di told her.
Flashback,
After Aaru had a fight, Akshu had taken time and sat with her sister to talk. Aaru was mad. Totally.
“Aaru, kya hua? Do you have the breaths to explain?” She asked her sister.
“It’s that Ria , Di. She said soo many bad things in front of me.”
“About who Aaru?” Akshu asked.
“Y.. you.”
“About me! Me! Why! You know Mumma and Papa will be so mad. And Kairav Bhaiya too!” Akshu said.
“Yeah I know.. but …” Aaru said.
This time with aura, instead of Akshu, Naira came. “Aaru. Why were you fighting with Ria? You’ve never stood up for Akshu before.” Naira spoke
“I know. But after we were locked outside for the whole day together. My thoughts changed for Di..” Aaru said.
“Alright. But, it doesn’t mean you fight with Ria!” Kartik said.
Flashback ends,
“See what I meant? You learn the lesson, but forget it in one day!” Akshu says.
“Yeah ok I guess. But A comes too close!”
“Darti kyu hai?” Akshu put her arm round her younger sister’s shoulder. “Dar mat, Teri Behen hai na.”
“Okay.. I guess.”
Akshu and Aaru go and get the things needed for their experiment, except when Aryan tries to come close to Aaru, he sees someone else.
“Chamkadar!?” Aryan says.
“Neil? Why did you stand up? I only asked Akshara, Aarohi, Aryan, Samar to get up and get the things. Didn’t I?” Their teacher was half-mad.
“Ma’am, you will be glad to know I’ve just saved someone from being purposefully hurt in this class? And you couldn’t see it with your own eyes, so don’t say anything to me.” Neil says.
“Purposefully hurt? In my class?” Nisha looked at Aryan.
“Aryan, outside.” Aryan didn’t dare move. “Right NOW.” Nisha was super mad.
“Aryan, I saw you do this but because for my job I kept quiet. I won’t have this anymore, I don’t want your stupid money, because you’re ruining one of my best student’s life here. Tell your father, I don’t want the money, I’m talking to principal, and your mother. Am I clear?” She instantly said .
“Oh really? You think you will be able to?” Aryan said.
“Yes.” She saw Principal coming along the corridor. “Principal Ma’am, Can we speak?”
“Ji Nisha. What’s the problem?”
Nisha explains what Aryan has been doing and his parents are called.
“Mr. and Ms. Anand, this is unacceptable.” Principal Aniya, who never spoke strictly to parents and most of them time school staff and the students, strictly spoke.
“And Ms. Anand, were you to knowledge that your husband was paying Nisha to keep quiet about this? ”
“No. I didn’t have knowledge to this. But yes, he and Aryan had been weird at home. Kept on going to Aryan’s room to speak alone.” Aryan’s mother said.
“Nisha, call Aarohi, her sister Akshara, and their friends.” Aniya said.
“Yes Ma’am.” She instantly left.
Back in the classroom..
“What do you think’s happened?” Aaru asked.
“Don’t know. But Nisha Ma’am seemed very mad.”
“Mam aa gayi.” Abhi says.
“Akshara, Aarohi, Abhimanyu, Neil, come with me.”
“Ma’am what about the experiment?” Samar asked.
Ding! Nisha got a message on her phone.
“We need to close the school, the Covid cases have increased to a far end.” It was from Principal Aniya.
“Kids! Get your stuff with you, the school is being closed until further notice.”
The kids knew what was wrong, but didn’t want to make sure. They got their bags row by row, and soon left for the hall. The other years’ had left, and it was just Year 8/Standard 8.
“Students, come here and I’ll tell you where to sit.” The tables were set just like their classroom. And it was the same spots they had to sit in as if they normally sat.
“Okay listen up. We will be contacting your parents for them to come and pick you up. But we need to talk about Homework first. You will get online work each day like a normal school day, due at 3pm. Clear?” Aniya said.
“Yes Mam.” The kids chorused.
“OK. Nisha, let’s start calling.” Aniya said. Nisha felt glad she hadn’t been fired.
Aniya called Naira and Kartik. Nisha called Manjari and Harsh.
“Hi Ms. Goenka?” Aniya was successful in first try to call Naira, but couldn’t contact Kartik.
“Hi Principal Mam. Sab tikh hai na?” Naira asked, as this was rare they’d get a phone call from their daughters’ school.
“Covid cases bad gaye hai Mam. We need to send them home. Kya aap aur apke husband lene aa sakte hai?”
“Okay. We are coming.”
“Ji.”
“Hi Mr. Birla.” Nisha spoke to Harsh. Manjari was to answer it, but Harsh had as always dominated her and sent her away.
“What?” Harsh sneered.
“Covid cases bad chuke hai. Can you come and collect Abhimanyu and Neil.”
“Who is coming to collect Akshara and Aarohi?” Harsh asked.
“Mr. and Ms. Goenka.”
“Tell her to take Abhimanyu and Neil too. I can’t come. Neither can my wife.”
“What about Mahima Ji? Or Anand Sir?”
“They took Anisha and Parth already right? Then why for them to come again? Naira Ji will take them.” Harsh ends the call. What a weird father! Nisha thought.
“Anyway.” Nisha sighed and left to report to Aniya.
Later…
“Nisha, Nisha!” Aniya called her.
“Kya hua Ma’am?”
“Mr. and Ms. Goenka ka accident hua hai!”
Did Naira and Kartik really have an accident?
