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.

The world traveler from the future
The world, under the guide of the System, was prospering. The Dungeons gifted untold riches to those brave enough to challenge them, and the System watched and helped those who were willing to complete its Quests. But not Charles. As soon as he appeared inside a dark cave, the system told him that he was an anomaly, that he was not worthy of its gifts. His mind was damaged. His AI companion was convinced that he was in a world of sword and magic. All around, schemers and manipulators tried to play their part in a story that was thousands of years old. Spanning entire planes and worlds. And yet, he only saw what he wanted to see. For a while, it worked. Slowly, but inevitably, it became impossible. The threat was too big to ignore, the evidence too strong. He was just a pawn in a game so large that it was impossible to comprehend. At its center, the System. The System was not what it seemed.
