《Exchanged Hubby (An Indian Arrange Marriage)》Accept the fate
Advertisement
Rd came back to his room and just closed his eyes,he saw her tempting lips again and he sprung open his eyes. Why always my desires and hormones overpower my senses when it's related to her. This girl is making me crazy,I think I should catch up sleep to divert my dirty mind. Better I'll leave here and go back to Mumbai,that's great plan and he slept.
Next morning he came to the hall to see Kishore reading the newspaper and anju busy in the kitchen. And he was looking here and there as if he lost something.
K: good morning beta
Rd : good morning dad still moving his gaze around
K: if you are looking for sanyu then she has already left for the office,her boss called for an important meeting.
Rd: me ...no ...I was looking why it's all silent till yesterday it was full of members
K: oh.they all left early morning
Rd: ok dad I'll freshen up and meet you for dinner
K: done
Dad and damad sat and anju was serving the food. Rd was in a confusion how to start the conversation. Anju noticed that and asked him the matter.
Rd: I was planning to go back because I took lots of leave
K: yes beta you can leave when you wish to.work is important
Rd: I already looked for tickets today and it's available for the 7 pm flight
K: great.but are your parents back from meeting
Rd: no I'll stay with my colleague till they reach .
K: I'll ask someone to drop you
Rd: I was thinking of sanyukta can do that
K: call her beta then
Rd: sure
Rd instead of calling gave her message saying that he'll be leaving toady evening and she needs to drop him to the airport and he has something to say to her urgently. She just replied an ok.

Sanyu phone beeped with another message and that was from parth asking her to meet him and vids at ccd when she is free. Sanyu forward the message to rd and he asked to tell them to fix the meet by 4 pm because he needs to rush after that. She did as instructed by rd.
By 4 sandhir reached the place and vidharth was shocked to see rd. All four were experiencing an awkward situation but in order to lighten up it with rd suggested that they'll should get seated. There was silence for sometime and it was broken by parth.
P: sanyu
Rd heart pinched by the way parth addressed her as sanyu but kept the cool
P: sanyu I know all these happenings are not normal. I think we shouldn't hurt our parents for our happiness it would be our selfish motive. I'm suggesting that we should keep the divorce on hold and see if we can give a fair chance to this exchanged marriage.
Vids : yes rd. I'm not in a position to see my parent's heads hung low in front of society because of us. Maybe the destiny wants us to be paired like this . See I'm married to a South Indian and you to North Indian so can we try to maintain what we have in our hands than expecting the love once we nourished. Vids spoke all these with a heavy heart and tears started dripping from her eyes.
Parth and sanyu just looked at her sad face. But rd took the tissue from the holder and wiped her tears. Rd got up from seat and he informed he has a flight at 7 pm and what they said is correct that they should give a chance to their married life and left from there followed by sanyu.

Sandhir came near her car and rd asked for keys to drive till airport ,she handed him and sat near the passenger. Vidharth saw sandhir and they stood there for an auto. Sandhir didn't glance at vidharth and rd drove the car to airport.
They reached before time and rd came out and sanyu too.
S: are you leaving without telling what you wanted to talk to me
Rd: what I wished vidharth already said
S: what you mean.you too thought to make our marriage work
Rd: no.I thought to set them free from our love. That night both of us were drunk but we committed a mistake and that's cheating to vidharth. I really want them to be together
S: yes its true.
Rd: I'm sorry sanyu to misunderstand you and took my anger and called you names
S: it's ok
Rd: May be this is the end of our journey and they both shook hands and went.
Other side vidharth in an auto.
P: they didn't even forced us to change the decision
Vids : their parents too are forcing them to maintain the relationship
P: that day if dad didn't see sanyu I mean sanyukta's message I won't be forced to leave from Delhi and me and she would've met and sort out
Vids : I know .I also know that rd loves me a lot and he won't move on with sanyukta but my mom and dad said they'll commit suicide if I break the marriage and we were forced to leave this place to give sometime
P: I know my parents told they'll leave the house and settle in native. My dad worked hard to make me to this position so I can't waste his hardworks for the love. We lived one month in U.S. and my seniors are impressed with the growth so I'll be promoted with hike in salary . I'll try to be a good husband and ready to give a chance for a happy family with you and placed his hands on vids but she withdrew the hand saying she needs time.
Here a start has begun.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
8 181Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Humanity (or at least what remains of it) has relocated to nearby newly terraformed Mars to try to start anew.Other than the recent immigrants, no signs of terrestrial life have been found on the fourth rock from the sun.

8 172Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
