Deva sat on the swing on the other side of Siva making her move away from him which made Prem shake his head as Noel asked "Are you challenging me boss?" To which Deva replied "I'm stating the facts dear friend" making Noel roll his eyes.
"Fine! Why don't we see who the best designer is" Noel challenged him making Siva say "No thanks" and was about to get up when Deva held her wrist and made her sit on the swing as she tried to pull her hand away from his grip but he held onto her and took the other set of mehendi from Noel.
"You know I'm a doctor and I can really draw very well"
Deva said as they designed both her palms with mehendi making her look at Prem who's curiously watching her palms at his friends designs.
"You are good at drawing body parts not mehendi designs" Noel commented making Siva chuckle and looked at her palms too which were filling with mehendi. She sat still for several minutes trying to control her sleep as the guys were drawing. Sometime into the guys challenge Deva felt Siva's head hit his shoulder.
He paused his work and looked at Siva who fell asleep on his shoulder and sighed putting away the mehendi "What happened are you givi-" Noel trailed off looking at his boss who glared at him and widened his eyes at Siva who's head is on the boss's shoulder.
Noel smiled sheepishly and put aside the mehendi and stood up looking at Prem who was staring at his boss and kicked his leg making him come out of the shock and stood up saying "Noel let's go I'm already tired" and went away leaving them.
"What would Hima think if she saw them?" Prem said out loud making Noel stop mid stride asking "Are you rooting for boss and Hima's relationship? Then what about Siva?" and looked at Prem who seemed confused.

"Our boss likes Hima haven't you noticed the way he looks at her" Prem said making Noel say "What? No way I thought boss loves Siva" which made Prem roll his eyes and say "Really boss just helps her so she'd live on her own" and walked to his room.
Deva was looking at Siva when Hima came out and stilled looking at their position and when she saw Deva was about to wake Siva she loudly said "Don't" startling them and Siva woke up looking around to see Hima smiling sheepishly "You fell asleep and Dr.Deva was going to wake you up so I tried to stop him instead I startled you sorry".
"It is better if you wake me up instead of him" saying she stood up and saw her palms sighing before walking inside to see the sangeet ended and went to her room as Hima sat beside Deva on the swing and said "Do you hate her?"
"I don't understand why is it any of your business" Deva said making Hima smile "That means you like her" which made him narrow his eyes and looked at Hima confused "Why don't you stop your vivid imagination?" which made her chuckle.
"Did you ever fall in love?" Hima asked making him avoid her gaze "I don't have time for such things" which made her look at him "We have to make time for such things" he just shook his head getting up "I have lot of people to teach a lesson" and went inside making her confused.
"Just give him time" Gayatri said coming towards Hima making her nod and stood up saying "I know he likes me it's just a matter of one incident that's all" which made Gayatri smile as they both went inside to their alloted room.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
