《Apart from Lines》1.1 The Unexpected Family
Advertisement
It was a week since the fiasco of tilak day had happened.
Tensions seemed to increase and decrease with each unforseen situations.
Akshara distanced herself from everyone, locking herself in her room.
She lost her charm and angelic smile taht used to radiate the happiness over pain.
Family members used to go to her but to their disappointment the answer that always made it's way to them, from the other side of door was "pleasee, chod dijiye".
Time heals everything, is what was roaming and assuring them that akshara will be ok , the next day.
But next? What's next!?
Next is what, you are sure of but here it was no certainty of akshara's bubbly nature to make it's come back!
Akshara's Pov,
From last 7 days, am just trying to get what actually happened, the cruel game of destiny. And önce I got it, I was trying to get mumma's voice recording into my phone and after searching much in you tube and google I finally made it! After all I am sherni's daughter, wouldn't give up so easily.
Önce this recording was now safe in phone, I put on my earpods, playing the recording on loop, and after that from a old video, I extracted papa's voice saying
My day starts listening to the special the voices of my pillars and ends on the same .I really wish they would have been here ,I wouldn't have been this lone.
I know my family is worried and upset for me but I can't ignore the fact that if everyone had to choose between me and aaru's happiness, they would have chosen her happiness .
Being a sacrificer from childhood, I have been asked to sacrifice everything I had .
Even I have sacrificed everything on that Tilak day .I kept quiet ,my relation is on the verge of breaking ,a relation which was never formed from my side ,but I really don't want it to be break apart,too.

I really wish my parents would have been here ,they would have guided me so well today, they would have even thought of my happiness unlike others.
I really miss them. I really wish if I could have a little family of my own someone to console me by my side someone to laugh with me in my humour someone to share the happiness someone to understand me.
Pov ends.
Akshu didn't got the time checked, it was night, her days from the tragic day,weren't on their daily path.
Everything was destroyed from that Tilak day .
She really wanted to cry out aloud,
she really wanted to vent out her frustration,
she wanted to shout at the top of her lungs,
she wanted to burst out her feelings.
She, in the seven days, for the first time,stepped out of the room,with the keys of a car in her other hand and with other hand she held her footwear,with this,she tiptoed outside the gate ,silently .
No one knew where she was going .
Her heart knew what she was doing, Mind knew what she was going to do and she herself knew that she need some time alone to overcome the confusion that her mind is occupied with.
She didn't want to lose Abhimanyu but on the other hand she didn't wanted to hurt her Aaru ,but she couldn't choose between the two.She wanted a place full of peace to help her overcome the confusion she is surrounded with ,in her mind.
She couldn't lose her sister but she couldn't even lose the person who loved her so dearly with full passion and dedication that he was even ready to go against the world not caring for his identity, respect, status, position , etc, etc.
She was stuck between sister, whom she tried everyway possible to forgive Akshara for her no mistake But she , on the other side ,had a person who could lose everything for her.

What she could choose?
To loose or to gain and loose?
She drove with moist eyes, remembering how the confusion occurred ,
how he immediately called off the Tilak after knowing that aarohi was going to be his wife ,
how he claimed his love for her in front of everyone ,
how he begged her to speak up for him for their love ,
how he was making her remember their small sweet moments ,
how she denied him how he walked out heartbroken.
She was just remembering how courageous he was but alas and unfortunately she wasn't she wasn't as courageous as him to leave back her family.
She was driving so fast out of confusion all of a sudden her car stopped at a screechhhhhh.
And she side-viewed ,the place.
It was same temple,where her naira Ma used to come to pray along with her father and it was the same temple where she has lost her sirat ma.
She found it desolated, after all it was nearly 12:30 am, in the night.
How could possibly a human be at this hour, at the temple.
Only she could hear a man, shouting probably on phone, with his wife, trying to calm him.
"What nonsense? Why can't driver be here neil send someone to pick us up, our car is broken down, don't be foolish! we can't be here whole night,it's already 12:30 I don't want to be here" .
"Shaant ho jaaiye please" .
She didn't seemed to be affected, it seemed, the confusion and pain inside her was more than that couple's problem.
She walked to the backside of the temple, ignoring everything that came her way.
At the back of the temple there was a small pond in which people used to throw a stone after making their wish.
She sat down in the shade of a tree by a it's trunk,glancing blankly at the lake, that was trembling because of moon's light.

Steamforged Sorcery [A Steampunk LitRPG]
This is a fantasy story in a steampunk setting, not a sci-fi. The Great War ravaged the face of the earth many years ago. In the years that passed, the world rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke as metal cities sprouted like weeds below. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly comes to realize that the world is far larger – and far more deadly – than he ever could have predicted. But no amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking out greater strength and traveling the world, claiming all the greatest treasure that it has to offer. To most, the desert is a dangerous threat to be feared. To Angel, it’s a land of opportunity, waiting to be exploited. Steamforged Sorcery is, as the title suggests, a LitRPG Steampunk story with heavy focus on magic and scenery. The main character starts out relatively strong (but far from overpowered) but will eventually grow in strength to incredible levels. It is moderately paced and does not progress at ridiculous speeds. Release Schedule: 1,500 words daily Monday-Friday

Reincarnated, Now What? (ReWorked)
This is what I always wanted. I always wanted to fight like in the anime and manga. Video games could only fill part of the void, but never fully. Follow Haruto, a young Japanese boy struck down in the middle of his gaming life and reincarnated at the whims of a sadist god. He is a chill dude, who loves anime and otakuing it up. The sadist powers that be have forced him to a new world, now he endeavors to live out every weeb's dream of reincarnation. you know minus the boring parts like fighting for justice. In a world of gods, demihumans, and thankfully succubi, Haruto decides to live the life of his dreams. It's a comedic isekai that should not be taken too seriously. An adventurer in age denial. A man who looks like a pig. The ever present human trash who call themselves nobility. Of course butlers because who doesn't like OP butlers who for some reason stay a butler. A croc that acts like a dog. Tons of one-inch punches in honor of the great one. A tribute to the best waifu. A wide assortment of demons. A lich who is great at kissing butt. It's an adventure slice of life journey and tons of trash talking. I mean how could a weeb not be good at trash talking, have you not read a wuxia before? Currently in the middle of revision, so bear with me on grammar and tense issues. Will be done within this life time.
