As Ashok was talking to Dev, his friends barged into the library and Ashok was quite surprised on seeing them.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We have come here to fulfill your wish. Dev, tell your Father to get ready. He would be riding a horse."
"Uncle, you can tell him this yourself. I am going somewhere."
Ashok shook his head and his friends made him wear a sherwani. Dev kissed his cheek and ran from there. As he was running out of his House, he saw his Mother in her bridal wear and her friends were taking her to the lawn which was decorated in a grand way. Ishwari saw him and stopped him.
"Dev, where are you going?"
"To get your daughter in law."
"But we are getting married today. Won't you be here?"
"You are getting married for the second time. Let me secure my first time."
Ishwari chuckled and Dev left on his bike.

Sonakshi stepped out of her flat as her Parents bid her bye. She pressed the button to call the lift and as the doors of the lift opened, she saw Dev and rolled her eyes. He immediately got out of the lift and looked at her bags.
"You are going somewhere?"
Sonakshi gave him a fake wide smile and turned around to descend down the stairs. Dev followed her and started apologizing.
"Sonakshi, listen to me."
"I don't want to listen to anything. You can go to hell."
"I will go there but atleast let me hold your suitcase. It looks very heavy."
"I'll manage. I don't need your help."
"But atleast listen to me baby."
"Don't call me baby."
"I won't but please let me hold your bag."

"I said that I don't need your help."
"But you live on the 8th floor. And now you won't take the lift because of your stubbornness."
"Bleach that lift."
"I am sorry na Sona."
"I don't need your sorry."
"Okay. But let me hold your bag. We are still on the 6th floor."
Sonakshi held the bag in her other hand and continued walking down.
"I am very sorry Sona. I know it is my mistake. I shouldn't have taken out all the frustration on you."
"Yet you did."
"I know. That's why I am apologizing."
"Not enough."
"I know. You know, I have been looking for flats so that we both can stay in Mumbai. I got a very nice 2BHK flat in Lokhandwala. It's a nice and cozy place."
Sonakshi stopped for a moment but then again continued walking. Dev frowned but then followed her again. They were now on the 2nd floor. Dev held her hand and the suitcase dropped from her hand, right on his foot. He shrieked in pain and Sonakshi tried to control her laughter. As he saw her controlling her laughter, he stopped struggling and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. He then held her hands and looked in her eyes.
"I know that I don't deserve your apology. But give me a chance, and this time, I promise that this will be my last chance."
Sonakshi looked at him, debating with herself whether she should give him a chance or not. She then shrugged her shoulders, indicating him to speak. Dev smiled and held his ears.
"I know that I have always been a jerk. But the thing is that after I resigned from my job and didn't get any assignments for photography, I was lost. I didn't even know what to do. On the other hand, I envied you because you got to do what you wanted to and you were even successful in it. And I honestly thought that once you get successful in your career, you won't need me anymore. I thought that you will forget me once you achieve your dreams. I don't even know why I was thinking like that. I know that you could never forget me. But I know that none of my words would do justice for what I have done. But now when I have realised, I don't want to let you go anywhere. Just give me a chance."

She looked at him and narrowed her eyes at him.
"Fine! But I'll do the interiors of the House."
Dev sighed in relief and nodded his head.
"Atleast take the bag. I have been carrying it for so long."
"I was telling you to give it to me since we were on the 8th floor."
"Then take it."
She handed the bag to him started walking down the stairs. Dev finally smiled and followed her.
***
Ishwari and Ashok were married again and as they stood up from the altar, Sonakshi and Dev reached there. They both grinned widely on seeing Sonakshi and she ran to hug them. They hugged her tightly and welcomed Dev for a family hug.
***
Sonakshi was on the stage, cracking some jokes. When she didn't hear any laughter from the audience, she looked at the only couple who was at the restaurant and were busy in talking to each other. She frowned at them and cracked another joke. On getting no response from them, Dev came forward and gave her a glass of water.
"You need to gargle."
Sonakshi whined and stepped down from the stage. As they walked to the exit of the restaurant, she started complaining to Dev.
"They weren't even listening to me. They were busy in talking to each other. Is it even fair Dev?"

Honey Bun: Awakening
By what right do we exist? Is it something innate – a soul, a birthright, some natural law? Or is existence earned, by deed and attitude? Perhaps neither is the case, and life is merely a cosmic accident. This is a story about a magic bun.

To live is to Dream (LitRPG; First Draft)
A new Power has come into the World and seeks to change it. Being on the last dregs of sanity and full of alcohol Daniel West receives an opportunity to seek revenge. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To live is to Dream is the second book of the Just a Dream series. You do not have to read the first to enjoy the second, but there will be recurring characters along the line. The first book features Mir, a man that dislikes how his current world appears and hence wants to change it. The second book will feature other people and how the changes implemented by Mir affect their lives. For those interested in my first book, it's easy to find it. Just beware that with the first book, it was my first time writing and there are a lot of grammar errors despite lots of editing, at least at the beginning of the book. The cover was done by Lmarief. I had requested something bizarre and she delivered. I have even used it as part of the story since her interpretation of my imagination was a bit different. Still, I loved it. As a thank you gift, I posted a link to her profile here for others who want a unique cover. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/220043

The Flame in the Forge (A Slice of Life Isekai LitRPG)
Thrown into a world he doesn’t recognise, Niall Vendra has to adapt, learn and fight to survive. Physically, emotionally, personally. If Niall wants to save his family, then the man he was needs to transform. Surrounded by Minotaurs, Fae and Magic, Niall will have to reinvent himself as both a warrior and an artisan. Growth won’t be fast and it won’t be easy, but with patience and hard work, Niall can earn the Skills, Abilities and Classes to battle his way to the top. The Flame In The Forge is a LitRPG Isekai/Portal fantasy. You should expect slice of life with conflict and an overarching mystery to be solved. Niall will be both a crafter (primarily, but not exclusively, as a blacksmith) and a fighter. There won’t be a harem. But don't worry, there will be both flames and forges! I should be clear that while this is very much LitRPG, it's story led and I have tried to make it feel believable. So, for example, the first blue box doesn't appear until chapter 6. I hope that the payoff is worth it. Compared to some LitRPGs you may find the pace rather gentle at times. There will be some periods where it feels like Niall is eking out every level and others when, for good reasons, he makes a significant leap. My goal though is to give you a satisfying story, so that dictates when and how Niall's stats and skills change. I can reassure you that I fully intend for Niall to become immensely powerful, but I want you to feel like he has earned every level in a realistic way.

Glimpse of Eternity
"There is no Good and Evil. Only Power." Because of an incident when he was ten years old, Kagami Ken had to suffer through excruciating pain due to a one-of-a-kind illness. After a particularly bad fit when he was twenty-three, Kagami Ken fell into a coma for six months! Upon awakening, Ken's intuition told him that his days were numbered, so he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. Due to a sudden desire to do some good, Ken pours an extraordinary amount of money into a donation to a Charity organization he stumbles upon. He never knew that because of this, He would get the attention of a certain God! After this and that, he now finds himself reincarnated as Reivan Aizenwald, the Half-human, Half-Warbeast baby! On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What Chaos will he bring to this new world!? Find out by reading the story, cuz I honestly don't know! [This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated.] [Chapter Length: 2500-3500 words (It can only be more, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)] [Chapter Release: Once Every Sunday. Depending on certain factors, like story-pacing, I may post more.] [The Warning tags are just there to give me freedom when writing. I don't plan to be overly descriptive of schmex scenes and gore. Don't worry.] Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! I know its going to be rough around the edges. But I'm trying my best to improve day by day. I hope you're patient with me if you do give this fiction a try! Correction suggestions are appreciated. Same with grammar corrections. English isn't my first language, so it would help me improve. I'll try my best to make as few mistakes as possible though! Constructive Criticism is very welcome. Anything to make my first brain-child, the best it can possibly be!! If all you do is diss it, without providing anything constructive, I'm ready to pour whatever creative juices I have on making up insults for you, your mother, and all your Ancestors! ...as long as I don't feel particularly lazy at the time. Also, if your diss makes me laugh while also being true, you get a pass too. I'll even give you rep. By the way, this work will be heavily influenced by (English TLed) Japanese Light Novels and Korean Web Novels. I mainly read that kinda stuff after all. With minor influence from Wuxia and Xianxia. Really, just a little though. Oh, and Harry Potter which I read repeatedly when I was a child. If you hate those types of novels, then please piss off immediately. I don't want to waste your time. Now, If you do like them, then please give my novel a shot! *bows*
