After washing up they came down for dinner to see empty table and the guys looked at each other's faces "Oh no I forgot that Maniamma went to her neice's marriage and won't return for a week" making the guys groan as Deva said "And you are informing this now.." making her sheepishly smile.
"Umm...there is one more thing. I don't know cooking and didn't hire a new cook for the week" saying she looked down at her feet making the guys sigh frustrated because of their hunger as Deva walked inside the kitchen and took out the vegetables making them follow inside to see him washing vegetables.
"Do you atleast know washing the grains?" Deva asked making her roll her eyes and pour the grains in the bowl before washing them and put the bowl in the rice cooker and switched it on closing the lid as Prem and Noel cut the vegetables while Deva turned on the stove and started preparing some fry making her raise her eyebrows.
"You are a doctor. A business man and also knows cooking why don't you have a girlfriend then?" Siva suddenly asked making the other two shake their heads at her making her roll her eyes as she continued going towards Deva who is adding spices in the fry and sat on the kitchen counter beside him "You know you should date. You can't be alone for the rest of your life and should find a partner soon. Since I am the only girl in your bro group how about I suggest someone for you?"
Deva looked around and looked at her saying "Girl? I don't see any girl here" and put a lid on the cooking pan making her grit her teeth and boys chuckle "Ofcourse you wouldn't see a girl because all you see is patients and accounts I'm sure you'll love and marry them" making the boys laugh out loud as Deva glared at them shutting them up.

Deva walked towards the fridge and took out an ice pack before placing it on her shoulder making her yelp "You got a sprain in your shoulder" he said turning towards the stove making the trio look at him as he continued after a pause "That doesn't mean you can skip work" making her glare at him as the boys raised their eyebrows controlling their chuckle.
"Hmmmm.... it's so tasty. Why don't you cook everyday?" Siva asked as she munched on the food as Deva glared at her before resuming his eating as she continued "So Prem when are you introducing your butterfly to us?"
Prem choked on his food as the guys looked at him in question as he drank water and glared at Siva who raised her eyebrows "Her name is Jeevika she is a vet. You can meet her on the way to the factory" saying Prem went towards the kitchen and after a few seconds came out washing his hands.
"You should learn to shut up" Deva said making her roll her eyes saying "What if that attacker tries to attack Jeevika so Prem would help him? I'm trying to save you" making the trio look at her.
"Why do you always over think?" Noel asked making Siva say "It's not overthinking it's called taking precautions" and drank her water.
"Fine! Let's think it your way but what if the attacker tries to target you instead of the guys because he already knows they are loyal to me?" Deva asked making her pause her eating and think.
"See you don't have an answer so first you better try to save yourself than me" saying Deva got up walking in the direction of kitchen where Prem stood looking at her when she said "I do have an answer but the thing is why wouldn't I sell you like others when I can?"

Deva stopped mid stride as she continued turning towards him in her chair "You three are like siblings but I am no one to you and I do not benefit from not selling your secrets but what's stopping me? I never had unanswered questions in my life and all the questions about you and your life are always ending with question mark which is scaring and frustrating me".
"That is why you shouldn't search everything it's better if some questions are left unanswered" saying harshly he went into kitchen leaving the trio in an awkward silence.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
