《Aas-e-Ishq (Hope Of Love)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Sitting near the window of her room she looked at the blessings of Allah. The rain was getting furious second by second. Seems like clouds are crying for there love for ocean aware that they can't meet each other. The petrichor of their love was blooming the whole surrounding.
She sighed in satisfaction absorbing the surrounding aura of rain.
But life doesn't take a second for giving reality check. She smiled sadly at the irony. Just like the clouds have stored the heart of ocean in themselves, she has also stored someone entirely in herself but just like cloud she has also earned for the love of certain someone. Even when she knew just like the clouds can't meet the ocean she also can't get her love.
"Hoooorrrr jaldi aao. Ammi ne garam garam pakode banaye or kya batau uski khushbu to pure mohalle me faili hui hai" She came to reality when her cousin aka her best friend called her for evening snacks.
"Tum uthi nhi abhi tak chalo jaldi"
Fajar didn't even gave her chance to speak and dragged her to the living room downstairs.
"Ammi ka call aya tha?"
Her khaala asked her as she entered the living room.
"Nhi khalajan Ammi ko aj kal unki badi beti or nawase se fursat kaha."
"Han han drame dekho iske, jaise abba ke das call aye hi nhi hoge." She dramatically said making a very masooom expression which was not digested by Ahmer.
"Han to hai hum apne abbu k ladle aap kyu jal rahe hai." She was not to sit back in this fight.
"Jale mere dushman. Jal to tum rahi ho, apni behn se bhala koi jalta hai."
"Shut uppp!" She said throwing the cushion at his face who was chewing the pakodas very inhumanly.

Everybody shook their heads at their fight as it was everyday thing for them. They both began to run after each other with cushions in their hands and soon Fajar joined them which caused them to look like lunatics.
"What the hell is happening here?" A loud voice boomed in the haveli which startled Ahmer and the result was the loud crashing voice of glass.The cushion which was aimed at Hoor colloided with the vase. Pin drop silence surrounded them as both of them together looked at the crushed flower pot of Dadijan's dowry.
They looked at the owner of the voice which was to be blamed for the accident.
Hooriya's heartbeat skipped for a second hearing his voice.
Her back was facing the main gate where he was standing. She was sure as hell that even if it was not her fault he would definitely blame her.
"Bh..bhai..bhaijan... ap kab aye? Aye na darwaze par kyu khade hai?" Ahmer stuttered profusely.
"Ham abhi ate hai!" Hoor tried to disappear from the scene. But the next words of Zaydan rooted her to her spot. "Pehle Dadijan ko to batado what you have done THIS time". He said pressuring at this like it wasn't the first time she had caused any problem.
"Ap tension na le. Unhi k paas ja rahe hai." She answered him now changing her route to Shahana Begum's room.
"Aree aree tum kyu jaogi unke pas vase Ahmer se toota hai to wahi jayega." Fajar tried to save her bestie from the situation.
"Koi baat nhi Fajar hum sambhal lege waise bhi Dadijan hame nhi dategi". Hoor just spared a glance towards the fun intruder and sprinted off to Dadijan's room.
"Bhai apko use aisa nhi kehna chahiye tha. Asal me galti to apki hai. Na ap aakar itne zor se chillate or na hi hm log darte..."

"Bakwas band karo tum apni!"
Fajar at once went silent at her brother's rude words.
"Wo is ghar ki fard nhi hai. Use koi farak nhi padega kuch toote ya nhi. Lekin tum log to is ghar k fard ho, tum logo ko khayal rakhna chahiye." He at once turned to his mother "Or Ammi ap...ap bhi inhe kuch nhi kehti. Nuksan hamara hua hai us ladki ko koi farak nhi padega."
"Bas karo Zaydan. Kya ho gaya hai tumhe? Galti tumhari bhi thi jiski saza ab wahi ladki lene gayi hai. Or ab wo bhi is ghar ki fard hai kaan khol kar sun lo tum. Agli baar mai aisi baat tumhare mu se na sunu." Rukhsar begum scolded her son and went away to the kitchen.
Zaydan took time to register his mother's word. She was just his Chachi's sister's daughter. It was just roughly 4 to 5 months since her stay here and everyone was already taking her side in everything. He came out of his thoughts when he heard Ahmer's disbelieving voice.
"Hooorrriyaaa".
Can this evening can get any worse. He thought and turned around.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
