*Unedited *
I got up with the severe headache. I always get this when I cry before going to sleep. I think I should take some pills.
"Aimen, you really proved me wrong" Rehan came into room. A small sight of him brought a smile on my face.
"What?" I asked.
"Till this day I thought I'm the only one who can sleep this long but you broke my record" He said grinning ear to ear.
I looked down with embarrassment, with cheeks taking up colour. Did I really sleep that long? "I didn't sleep last night" I said in my defense.
"I know" He said.
"Can you give me the medicine, my head is paining?" Immediately his face fell.
"Are you alright? Do I need to call the doctor?" He checked my forehead for temperature.
"Rehan its just a headache. I'm fine" I said swatting his hand away.
"I'll get medicine" He disappeared. His caring act and his talk made me to smile. It means he forgave me. He gave me a chance. It showed his love for me. I can't love him back like this but I'm ready to give him chance.
He came back with a glass of water and handed me the med along with it. "Come eat something, you haven't eaten anything from yesterday"
"I'll go to the bathroom first" I stood up after gulping down the pill.
"Aimen, you can't avoid food like this" He stopped me by grabbing my wrist. After our encounter with Imran, I had abandon the food saying every lame excuses I came up with. But now I'm really, really...really hungry.
"Ya Allah! Rehan, I'm just going to bathroom"
"Fine, I give you 10 minutes, if don't you come , I'll surely drag you out"
"Yes boss!" I mock a salute. He laughed and planted a kiss on my cheek.

I walk into the bathroom still feeling his lips on me. I hurriedly did all the chores and came out. My head was still exploding. I found Rehan in the small living room which was attached to our bedroom.
"Hey!" I sat next to him.
"Here's your food. Eat it fully" he pointed to the table with a serious look.
"Okay!" I placed the plate on my lap. "Need a bite?" I asked. He shook his head. I ate it like a caveman. He was looking at his phone.
"Where are we going today?" I asked.
"Since its evening and you are not feeling well, we will spend sometime here and will go out for dinner. Are you okay with it?" he asked.
"Perfect!" I said.
"Rehan, did you forgive me?" I asked biting my lips. I want to be sure of it.
"Yeah!" He said with a short nod. There was a awkward silence between us.
"Do you get those often?" He looked at me.
"Huh?"
"Nightmares. Do you get those often?"
"No" I shook my head.
I used to get those long back but it stopped. Every encounter with Imran scares me but yesterday on the hospital he said something which scared me the most. When Rehan asked me to go in, Imran came inside few minutes later. "Every time I see you, Aimen, my unfinished business comes in my mind. I so wanna complete it" I know what it means and he will kidnap me again me to do it. Astaghfirullah.
Rehan brought me back from my thoughts "Let's pray Asr" He took my hand. He disappeared into the bathroom to do wudhu. I did wudhu after him. He laid the two praying mats. You know, its the best feeling I ever had and will ever get, praying behind him. After praying we spread hands for dua.

I got up folding my praying mat. He pulled me by my waist and I collided in his chest. His touch sent a weird feelings down me. I smiled looking at his hypnotizing eyes. He kissed my forehead "How's your headache?" I looked down hiding my red face.
"Alhamdulilah! Fine" More fine after this kiss.
"Good!" He kissed again but this time on the cheek.
*******
We walked hand in hand down the street. After the excellent dinner we had, Rehan asked the driver to go and started to walk, only Allah knows to where.
I looked at him. A striking face, clean beard and not to forget his perfect eyes could make anyone fall for him. But now he is my husband, so girls back off. "I know I'm so handsome but still I'll ask you why are staring at me?" He asked looking at me.
"Can't I stare at you with no reason?"
"Yes, you can baby" he kissed my hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"We will explore this place later, now I'm taking you to the place you will like"
We went to a park. It was still open at this hour and few couples were scattered around. Rehan took me to a near bench. He tapped a seat next to him. We sat facing a beautiful lake.
"So...."
"So...."
"Tell me about you" I asked.
"Like what?"
"From anything to everything"
"You ask?" He played with my fingers.
"Okay.....why did you chose engineering when you were about to take dad's business"
He let out a small laugh "Many people ask me that"
"I know I have to take over dad's business one day or other and that's why I chose engineering" I gave him a confused look. "What's the use of joining some business school when you gonna learn that later and also I always wished to pursue mechanical engineering"
"Smart" I said, patting his shoulder.
"That I am" he gave a wink.
"You like this place?"
"Yeah!" I said placing my head in his shoulder looking at the lake.
"Tell me about you, Aimen. What's your favorite food?"
"That's hard to say everything is my favorite" he laughed at this. "What's your favourite?"
"Biryani" He cheered.
"What's your favorite color?" He asked.
"Purple. What's yours, dear husband?" I faced him.
"Red. Mostly on you" He caressed my cheeks. I'm wearing red right now. He came closer, our lips were inches apart when his phone rang.
"Fuck!" He cursed under his breath.
"Javid?" He said looking at phone. "He never calls me unless an emergency"

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 106Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.

8 295New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make.
