Diary Part

A 15-year-old boy shown playing Carom with a 9-year-old girl who was gulping cookies. But she coughed suddenly.

Abhi (patting her back) - How much will you eat Aalu...?? You will get more fat if you eat this much.

The girl gave him a toothy smile and started gobbling cookies again. He shook his head in disbelief. A 14-year-old girl came all smiling and settled beside Abhi without his knowledge.

Pragya (cutely) - When will you marry me Abhi..??

Her voice startled him as he looks at her shocked.

Abhi (annoyed) - How many times I have told you, Don't disturb me with your stupid questions.

Pragya ( pouting) - But Mom said, Marriage is very important in someone's life. How is it a stupid question then..???

Abhi (irritated) - Every question from your mouth is a stupid question for me. Because you are a stupid girl yourself, Fuggy.

Pragya giggled and he looked at her with narrowed eyes.

Abhi -What's so funny.,???

Pragya (smiling widely) - Whenever you call me Fuggy naaa...I feel really happy.

Abhi (shaking his head in disbelief) - It's confirmed..!!

He snatched the next cookie from Aalia's hand who whined immediately. He shot her a look and she pouted sadly.

Pragya ( innocently asked to Aalia) - What confirmed Aalu..??

Aalia looked at her blinking and Abhi's lips twitch little seeing her but he shook his head and left from there.

***************************************************

Abhi - Mom...!!! I am hungry...!!! Let me eat naa...!!!

Manika (giving him angry look)- No..!! Let her come first...!! It's her favorite breakfast.

Abhi (complaining)- You always make her favorite breakfast but never mine. I am your son not that fuggy..!!

Manika (glaring him) - Yaa...You are my son but she is my daughter too. So stop complaining and don't call her that.

Abhi (muttered to himself) - But she likes it.

Manika narrowed her eyes in his direction and he looked at Prem pouting but he just shrugs. Pragya came running into the house and Manika hugged her immediately and kissed her forehead.

Manika (making her sit between her and Abhi)- Let's start now...!!!

After few minutes

Pragya (to Manika)- Mom, he said marriage is stupid...So my..

Abhi who was gulping juice coughed and Pragya immediately patted his back.

Abhi (glaring at her) - I never said that...!!

Pragya (turning towards him) - You said my question is stupid.

Abhi - Yupp I said that...!!! But you always told mom my words after twisting them.

Pragya (pouting)- I never do that...!!

Abhi (pointing) - You just did...You stupid.

Pragya (to Manika, pouting)- Look Mom, He is calling your Daughter-In-Law stupid.

Prem and Manika chuckled and Abhi looked at her with wide eyes and open mouth. Aalia picked another Sandwich ignoring the conversation and start chewing it. Pragya gave Manika a puppy face and she glared at Abhi.

Manika (pretending to be stern) - Abhi...!!! How dare you to call my daughter - in - law stupid...!!! You are stupid only...!!!

Before Abhi could utter a single word Pragya beat him to it.

Pragya (twisting her lips, crossing her arms across her chest) - Mom...Don't call My Abhi Stupid.

Manika looked at her in disbelief and a curve appeared on his lips but he hides it quickly.

**********************************************

Abhi was studying in his room when Pragya barged there.

Pragya (showing her book)- Abhi...I need your help...!!!

Abhi (seriously)- Which question...???

Pragya (surprised)- You are really going to help me...!!!!!

Abhi (giving her a look) - In which question you need my help...??

Pragya fumbled and point at one question.

Pragya - This one...!!!

Abhi was about to say something when she points at another one.

Pragya - NO..No....this one...!!!

He was about to say when she again point at another one.

Pragya - No... This one...!!! (He gave her an angry look and she stuttered) T.th..this one...Yaa this one.

He closed the book and stood in front of her crossing his arms over his chest.

Abhi (narrowing his eyes) - You don't have any question,right ...!!!

She gave him a sheepish smile and he shook his head in disbelief.

Abhi - Then why are you here...???

Pragya (immediately) - To be with you...!!!

An unknown smile appeared on his lips without his knowledge. She smiled ear to ear to see his smile.He realized what he was doing and changed his expression to annoyed immediately.

Abhi - how many times I have told you to not to disturb me while I am studying.

Pragya (stubbornly)- How many times I have told you that I love to disturb you.

Abhi (in a clipped tone)- But I hate it.

Pragya (pouting)- You hate everything I do...!!

Abhi (immediately)- No, I don't.

Her eyes sparks instantly and he regretted his words.

Pragya - Really...???

Abhi (to divert her, irritatedly) - Don't you have any other work than being here.

Pragya - No...!! I am here for you...!! If you need anything you can tell me. I will get it for you.

Abhi (raising his brow)- And why so...???

She sat on his bed and cross her legs.

Pragya - Because That's what a Wife do for her Husband.

Abhi(with twisted lips)- But I am not your husband...!!

Pragya (smiling widely)- But one day. You will be....!!! So I am practicing from now only.

His jaw dropped and she chuckled lightly.

Abhi - Who did put all these nonsense in your mind...??? (Look at her in horror) Don't tell me it's Mom.

She moved her head in up and down motion with a naughty smile and he looked at her blinking his eyes.

Abhi - Did you two talk about this all the time...????

She moved her head again like last time and he looked at her in disbelief.

Abhi - For God Sake, You are only 14...!! You should focus on your studies, not on these ladies gossips. Don't you have some dream to achieve?

Pragya (immediately)- Yes...!!! I have...!! Actually I have two...!!!

Abhi (raising his brow)- And what are they...???

Pragya (with a wide smile)- My first dream is You...!!!

He froze for a moment to listen her answer but recover immediately. He shut his eyes and exhale a heavy breath to calm his suddenly fast beating heart.

Abhi (Pointing at himself, uncertainly) - Me...???????

Pragya (with conviction) - Yes You...!! I want to reach you , achieve you, to be with you my whole life, to be your wife.

And again he felt his heart will be out in a moment from it's ribcage for his rapid and fast beating. He felt his body numb for the moment. How can she think about him like this? She is just 14 and she is thinking all of this at this age.He came out of his trance by listening her voice.

Pragya (continuing) - And my second dream is......I want to be a Fa......

Abhi (showing his palm)- Stop....!! I don't want to listen your bak-bak more. Now I have to study, so just go.

She looked at him with open mouth and he gave her a bored look and start reading again. She looked at his back pouting and left from there twisting her lips.

Abhi thought about her words and gulped loudly.

Abhi (to himself)- No no no no... Abhi...!! What are you thinking? Stop thinking about her. She is fuggy... The girl who took your Mom from you. And here you are chit-chatting with her... asking her about her dream. And that stupid girl...Who dreamed to be someone's wife. (a smile appeared on his lips as he thought about her words again). O just stop it Abhi...!!! You are again thinking about her. Focus on your book Abhi...Focus...!!!

He kept looking at the book for several minutes then stood from her chair frustrated. He opened her cupboard and unlocked a drawer with the key. He picked a photo from it and glare at it.

Abhi - Stop doing this to me....!!!!! I am not going to fall for it...!!!

The picture was shown and it was the same pic of their childhood which he attached to the front page of the diary, where Pragya was trying to hug him and he was distancing himself.
