"Why didn't you tell me that they were married if you already had a certificate?" Noel accused as they were getting down the stairs.
"I didn't know that the marriage certificate existed until boss ordered me to receive a package in the mandal office yesterday morning" Prem defended himself.
"So...Deva and Siva are really married then" Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta concluded and the guys looked at each other's faces.
"I thought Hima would eventually end up with him but....Siva....who would've expected that.." Prem said amused making Raja Chandra Pratap Gupta glare at him which made Prem smile sheepshily.
Deva put away the plate covering the soup bowl and took the hot bowl in his hand mixing it with spoon and blew on it before tasting it and bought it to Siva's lips making her look at the spoon then at him slowly saying "You know if I drink it, I might be affected with atleast 80million germs".
After a few seconds of silence he reminded her "I think these 80million are nothing compared to those germs that affected you on our wedding night" making her blink and drank the soup camly.
"The injury on your head should've bought your memories back. But how much?" Deva asked putting away the empty bowl.
"A month back I had a dream a....weird dream when I got drunk in the pub... I saw a person we're close...very close... I thought it was just a dream but....when I was in coma it all came back to me that I got married and my husband left me the next morning..." Siva looked at him anger clearly visible in her eyes but she didn't dare say anything to him.
Deva bought the water glass to her lips making her take small sips and pressed a button and after a few seconds Maniamma came in before knocking and took the cart outside bidding them good night.
He slowly took the needle out of her hand and put a bandage before throwing the empty saline in the dustbin and leaned over her making her move back a little as he put the pillows properly on the bed before making her lie on the bed and covered her in a blanket switching off the lights and walked outside the room closing the door behind him.
She hated it. Being in Las Vegas. If it isn't for her best friend Larry who's marrying his boyfriend since highschool tonight she'd be in India visiting her family. She sighed for the nth time listening to the blaring music and decided to get out of this barn which is also so called pub to the locals living on the countryside.

With all the sweaty and dancing bodies it took her atleast ten minutes to get out of this pub and finally sighed looking at the starry night sky away from the noise and people. She walked endlessly until she reached an edge of the cliff where her bestfriend is going to get married.
She smiled looking at the rocks, trees and grass all around. Larry definitely has a way to choose things like this. Marriage here? I mean come on no matter how much hurry he's in he should've atleast decided a decent place for a wedding. But come on it's her best friend we are talking about so no more decency when it involves him.
They are just nineteen and started college just a few months back and her bestfriend is already getting married and here she is with not even a single crush in her nineteen years of life. She sighed again thinking about her pitiful life and turned hearing footsteps to see few couple dressed in wedding attire coming towards her making her confused.
"Umm... we already booked this place for wedding tomorrow morning" Siva said to the priest who stood beside all the couples.
"That's the morning shift marriages child" the priest said making her frown.
"Morning shift? So my best friend is going to marry with all the other couples?" Siva asked not getting the ideology.
The priest smiled and strated explaining about the place they are standing in "This place is called lovers labyrinth. The couple who married here will always find each other in every life time and be together forever. Once you kiss here and exchange the rings it's decided that you'll never leave your other half".
Siva raised her eyebrows smiling at her bestfriend's plan and nodded saying "That's...amazing. ummm...congratulations everyone. Please carryon" before walking in the direction she came from.
The priest started reading the lines of the Bible as the couples stood facing each other as she shook her head walking forward but slipped her foot on a rock and was about to fall down but something caught her hand as she heard the priest words "You may kiss each other" while the person pulled her back making her fall on the person kissing him in the process.
They both fell down and she raised her head looking at the person under her to come in contact with brown eyes which were blank looking at her as if he's trying to assess her. She slowly got up and gave him her hand but he stood up dusting his jacket and pants giving a look to her.

"I... thankyou so much and I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" Siva asked as she gave once over to his body and sighed.
"Next time you walk, better watch your foot" The person adviced making her narrow her eyes as he turned to go away.
"Here's your wedding certificate son, congratulations but what names should I write on them" the priest handed it to the person making him confused.
"I'm not married" the person said looking at the wedding certificate.
"You kissed each other that means you were destined to be married" The priest said making Siva widen her eyes and stood beside the person.
"No..no..you got it all wrong. The kiss was an accident father just let it go" Siva tried explaining.
The priest sighed "I can't break the protocols here child make sure you collect your wedding certificate tomorrow morning after you spend your night together in one of our cabins. There you go those are the keys" and left from there.
"It's all your fault" Siva blamed making him scoff and turned around.
"Excuse me, if I remember right it was you who kissed me" the person reminded her making her avoid his eyes.
"That..t was an accident" Siva defended herself.
"Yeah? an accident which made us a married couple now" the person gritted out as he unlocked the cabin door in the woods both of them walking inside to see it is decorated with flowers and matress on the floor with wine on the fire area.
The door closed behind them on it's own due to wind startling her as the person went and pushed the matress to the wall before sitting on it leaning onto the wall taking the wine bottle with him. He poured himself a glass and started drinking it slowly looking at the fire.
She sighed and walked towards him silently before sitting beside him pulling her jacket close and sighed looking outside the window to see it started to snow "I am sorry! It was my fault and you had to suffer too. I'll sign the divorce if that's what you need".
"I need? Don't you need it too?" Her husband questioned her back.
She shook her head making him confused for the first time looking at her taking in her features since they got married. Her skin was pale due to cold but under the fire it was shining like a gold sheet as she spoke "I guess I've to add one more relation who doesn't need me to my list".
"Family crisis huh?" The person said and poured another glass of wine to her and handed it to her making her look at him and then the glass.
She was about to take it when he pulled the glass away asking "Wait..how old are you again?"
She chuckled and took the glass from him saying "It doesn't matter I'm married and officially an adult. Cheers to our marriage" and clinked their glasses before drinking the wine in one go and shuddered at the taste coughing.
He chuckled saying "First time is like that" and drank his wine.
"So what do you do?" Siva asked making him raise his eyebrow.
"Why is it even needed when tomorrow you'll be giving me divorce?" The person reminded her making her glare at him.
"Right! Now you are saying that I'm giving you divorce? It was you who need it" Siva stated.
"I didn't even bring the divorce topic it was you who bought it up" her husband defended himself and stilled at what they are doing.
Siva laughed out loud at their old married couple fight thing followed by his chuckles looking at each other. After a pause she asked "You really need a divorce?"
He shook his head saying "It's just... marriage was never a part of my life plan" making her nod slowly.
"Life is full of surprises and you should just go with the flow" Siva said and turned her head towards him.
"And that flow bought me here. To you..." Her husband trailed off turning his head making them face to face.
They both looked into each other's eyes before she moved forward and pressed her lips to his lips. The feel of his hot lips bought warmth to her cold one's but they just sat like that not even moving an inch with their lips pressed together.

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.
