Sanskar: hmm okk.. bye and take care.
Kavita: okk bye.

Laksh (shocked) noded.
Sanskar was just numb. Tears falling from his eyes. It seems like he is totally in different world. Laksh sees him. He don't know what to say, how to compose him.
Laksh (fumbles) bhai...
Sanskar didn't react.
Laksh: bhai...
Sanskar was looking at space blankly with tears in his eyes. He didn't even bother to hear his words. Suddenly he fainted.
Laksh took him to mm. He know that he is shocked due to this sudden heart-wrenching news.

Then Inspector came .
Dp: yes Inspector, did you get any information?
Inspector bow his head and nods.
Dp: Did you find Kavita? Is she fine?
Insp: yes DP ji, We found her but...
Dp: but what?
Inspector signals and the ward boys come with a body covered with white sheet.
Ap: no, this can't be true!!
Inspector: I m sorry mam, but it is true
MRS KAVITA MAHESHWARI IS NO MORE. Her body is burned, even her face can't recognized.
Laksh: Then how can you be sure that it is Kavita?
Inspector: Mr. Laksh, we found this ring there only and it is recognized that it was of Mrs. Kavita's.
Laksh: Yes, that's true its kavita's but it does not prove that the body is also kavita.
Insp: Sir this is medical report of the dead body.
Laksh see the report and the report fell from his hands.
Ap: What is in that Laksh?
Laksh: It's......its ka..kavita.
Suddenly they hear uttara voice.
Uttara: bhaiii!!!
Laksh look up to see Sanskar fallen unconscious.
Everyone rushed to him and somehow take sanskar to his room. Laksh call the doctor.
Then he ask Uttara.
Laksh: Uttara, how this happened? He was unconscious na?
Uttara (crying): Yes Laksh bhai, He was unconscious but then I went to washroom and when I came back, I didn't see him and come out of room and saw him standing near stairs. I was going to him but suddenly he fell unconsciously.
Laksh: I think Sanskar bhai listened everything.
Ap: Oh god, why is this happening to my child? Why are you being so cruel to him?
Dp: calm down AP, We have to strong for Sanskar and his child. If you will do like this then, what will happen to Sanskar?
Sujata: yes jiji, you have to be strong for Sanskar.
Ap nodded but she could not stop her tears. After some time everyone left to their room, Laksh stayed with Sanskar.
After one week:
One week passed like this. Everyone was trying to recover from sudden death of Kavita. Arshit mostly a stayed of time with AP. Sanskar's condition was better. He was trying to live but only for Arshit and his family. A lot of things changed in him.
Laksh was trying to be strong for his brother. He goes to meet sanskar.
Sanskar was sitting on the bed looking toward the window.
Laksh: bhai...
Sanskar look at him and nods.
Sanskar: Yes Laksh.
Laksh notice that he didn't called him lucky. He called him laksh only when he is tensed or in any problem but today he know why he called him Laksh instead of lucky. Laksh composed himself and ask.
Laksh: are you okay bhai?
Sanskar (sad smile): hmm, I m fine Laksh.
Laksh: But you don't seems to be.
Sanskar: So, what can I do Laksh? I cannot simply break down. I have to strong for Arshit. He lost his mother nd I have to handle him.
Laksh: hmm, I m so proud of you bhai. You are bearing all this but still trying to strong.
Sanskar gives a sad smile.
Laksh hug him and Sanskar reciprocated it. After that Laksh went out of the room.
Sanskar: Since that time, maa kept telling me to get married but I didn't. And now maa is forcing me to marry Swara. I don't know whatever happened was due to her or someone else but I can't deny that she truly love Arshit. She cares for him. Arshit also stays happy with her . I dont know even if she was not wrong, I can never give any wify rights to her because I still love you. So, I have decided something. I miss you Kavita.

Then he keeps frame back on the table nd goes to sleep.
Next morning:
Everyone was having their breakfast on table. Ap ask Sanskar.
Ap: Sanskar, What have to thought?
Except DP Everyone looked at AP and Sanskar with confused way.
Laksh: about what maa?
Sanskar (Ignoring Laksh): Yes maa, I have decided. I m ready.
Sujata: Ready for what?
Laksh: Exactly, what are you both talking?
Sanskar silently have his breakfast.
Ap: Sanskar is ready to marry Swara.
Laksh chocked. Sujata also look at AP shockingly.
Laksh (monologue) Is it true or have I gone mad? no I think my ears got damaged but it was all right till now suddenly what happened? It means I start hallucinating. It's starting of mental case. Oh god this can't be true. I didn't even got married till now. I m engaged only. I love Ragini. What will happen to her if I get mad. I have to consult doctor soon. How can be it true? Does mom really said that bhai is ready to marry Swara. I just thought that Sanskar bhai marry Swara but how can it possible ? Does that mean I have magical power, whatever i think comes true. Its miracle.
Laksh come back from his dreamworld listening Sujata's words.
Sujata: What are you saying jiji? Sanskar's marriage that too with that dumb girl? All nice girls died? And Sanskar, you also agreed for this marriage.
Laksh who listened all this and got angry on Sujata.
Laksh (angry): chachi, Swara is a lot better than those girls, who show off and are a gold digger. She is nice and pure hearted girl.
Sujata: ( Accuse) Why are you taking her side Laksh? You are marrying Ragini not that Swara?
Laksh:(angry) what are you trying to say?
Ap sees all this discussion moving in other direction. She knows Laksh well. How he always get pissed off due to sujata irrelevant talks nd if one minute more Sujata or Laksh speak then it will leads to something unstoppable. So, she interuppted between them.
Ap: ENOUGH! Laksh and Sujata. We have other things to decide rather than your stupid debate.
Sanskar was having breakfast ignoring Sujata and Laksh stupid discussion. He knows it's common. Laksh was always against sujata thinking. So, he ignore them and continued eating.
Then ap says.
Ap: Sujata, Swara is a perfect girl. She don't have any flaws nd I don't want to listen anything against her.
She turns to Sanskar and ask.
Ap: Sanskar if you don't have problem we can fix your and Swara marriage with Laksh and Ragini, I mean tomorrow only.
Sanskar nods.
Ap (smile): Okk, so We will arrange for sangeet for you both too.
Sanskar: no maa.
Ap: But you agreed for your marriage na?
Sanskar: Yes maa, but I don't want any other function. Today Sangeet will happen but only Laksh's and Ragini's not mine and Swara's.
Ap: But Sanskar...
Dp: Let it be Ap, If he don't want. Don't force him otherwise who know if he may create another mess.
Dp speak to Sanskar very less. He only talks regarding work. He was not angry on him because he married Kavita but he spoiled Swara's life by his baseless accuse. He accused a innocent girl who can never do anything like that and if he wanted, he could have tell him directly that he loved kavita so that Swara wouldn't had to face all those accusations but he didn't and Swara had to bear consequences for the thing she never done.
Sanskar was sad that DP didn't said him anything. He finished his breakfast and left.
After he left.
Ap: Sujata, this is last time I heard anything wrong about Swara and if you did it again then I don't know what will I do.
Rp: Yes bhabhi saa, She is talking too much nowadays.
Sujata gets annoyed and took her plate and left to her room.
Uttara go to college. Rp and DP also go to office.
Laksh (Happy): Mom, I love you. You did right. Swara is perfect for bhai.
Ap (smile): Swara is perfect but what about Sanskar? I m still thinking, Is he perfect for Swara?
Laksh: yes mom, whatever bhai did was wrong and I m sure that Swara didn't do anything. It was someone else.
Ap: Suddenly, how do you believe on Swara so much?
Laksh: I might had believed Swara that time also If papa wouldn't had send me for meeting and things may not be like that.
Ap: How?
Laksh: I could have understood her better if I talked to her that time. I didn't talked to her properly that time even for one minute. I talked just on marriage day that too for few seconds. I could have known what I know now.
Ap: what?
Laksh (smile): that she loved bhai and still loves him.
Ap (shocked & happy): What are you saying Laksh? Is it true?
Laksh: yes mom but my dumb brother had never seen that love in her eyes. She cannot speak but her eyes speaks a lot. Anyone can guess it if he try to.
Ap: may be because he already loved Kavita that time.
Laksh: hmm, and thank you mom. You did really a great thing. But now I don't know will she agree for this marriage or not.
Ap: she agreed.
Laksh: Really??
Ap (sad): But I think for Arshit only.
Laksh: Don't worry mom. Everything will be fine. Bhai will have to move on oneday and for that I have to solve this mystry soon.
Ap (surprised): I always thought you childish but my Laksh grown up so much. I don't know when Sanskar will move on? Even that Swara will forgive him or not but Swara will be my dil, oh sorry daughter. I m happy with that only.
Laksh (assures): Don't worry mom, everything will be alright.
Suddenly Laksh sees his watch and shout: NOOOO!!!
Ap got startled and asked what happened?
Laksh (worried): Mom, I m late. Dad will throw me out of office. ohh god, I m so late. Its all because of ...
Ap: because of...
Laksh (arranging sleeves ): I don't know, i m going and he takes his jacket and rushed outside. Ap sees him and smiles that he can never change.

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.2
Technically abandoned. I will be reposting an updated version of the story one chapter at a time. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.
