After that Laksh also go downstairs and enjoyed the function.
The function got over after sometime. Guests have gone. Only gadodia family was there. They were also about to leave when shomi says: Where is swara?
Shekhar: may be, busy with her boyfriend.
Everyone laughs.
Sanskar got confused that why Shekhar was saying like that .
Ap: you are right shekhar ji, She is with him only. (smiles)
Shekhar (to shomi): See, I told you.
Ap: you all be here, I will go and call her.
Sanskar: (confused and asked laksh) what are they talking Lucky? Swara is with Arshit. Then what they are saying?
Laksh (laughs): That's why they are saying. Arshit in only the boyfriend whom they are talking.
Sanskar: What??
Laksh: yes, you should have seen that how much possessive he is toward Swara.
Sanskar unknowingly smiles. Laksh noticed it and got happy. Then only Swara come.
Shomi: Come swara, we have to go now.
Swara nodded but she was sad.
Laksh (noticed), don't worry, from tomorrow you will be with your boyfriend only. Right Shekhar uncle?( teases)
Shekhar: Absolutely right Laksh beta.
Shomi: Swara, where is AP ji?
Swara: She is with Arshit only, he may get afraid and cry if didn't find anyone. So, I only told her to be with him.
(Note: now you may also know that swara tell everything through sign language so I don't think it's necessary to right every time)
Laksh (murmurs): both have same dialogues.
Sanskar: Did you say something?
Laksh: What? No, no what will i say?
Sanskar nods.
Shekhar; acha dp ji, we will take leave now.
Dp; ji.
Gadodia family left with that.
Everyone left to their rooms. Laksh sees sanskar going toward his room. He calls him and stopped him.
Laksh: Bhai.
Sanskar: yes Lucky (turn around)
Laksh: bhai, if you are ok, then can we talk?
Sanskar think for a while then nods.
Laksh: ok, then let's go to our spot.
Sanskar smiles and both headed toward terrace.
On terrace;
Laksh and sanskar both went and sit down.
Sanskar: Yes Lucky, now say.
Laksh (smile): Why I should speak to you only when I have something to tell. Can't I spend sometime with my brother and it also have so much time we spend time together.
Sanskar smiles: no, you don't need any topic to talk to me or spend time with me.
Laksh: hmm.
Sanskar: what are you hiding Lucky?
Laksh look at him shocked.
Sanskar: Don't lie. I can sense it.
Laksh (sighs): Ragini.
Sanskar (confused): Ragini? What happened to her?
Laksh: Nothing happened to her. Its me with whom something happened.
Sanskar: What?
Laksh: I don't know bhai but sometime I get irritated with her.
Sanskar: you are not going to call off the wedding, right?
Laksh: What?? No way!! nd I don't want to the same thing you have...( blurt out)
Laksh (realize and sees sanskar): I m sorry bhai. I don't mean that. I just...
Sanskar: it's ok Lucky.
Laksh: hmmm.
Sanskar: Now say, what happened between you and Ragini now?
Laksh (sighs); you know sometimes she behaves so immature. I was just talking to Swara today and she interpreted it in wrong way and said to marry her only. I mean, I was not alone while talking to her. Everyone was there. She was accusing me like as if I had taken her to some date or something. That too about Swara, she is like sister to me. If she cant trust , then Why the hell she is marrying me? Leave it. If she can't trust me, she can trust her sister at least but no. And other thing I can't understand, why does she hate her sister? I really get frustrated sometimes.

Sanskar: Okk, so did you talk to her?
Laksh: What do you think bhai, ofcourse I did. But madam was so much busy with her ego and you know bhai, this is not first time. She always find any thing to accuse me and at the end I have to ask sorry for that which I didn't do.
Sanskar: May be its because of you only.
Laksh: What?? What did I do?
Sanskar: Exactly, you didn't do anything Lucky. You just simply ask sorry to her.
Laksh: What do you mean?
Sanskar: you should talk to her, understand her. May be she have some problem or anything else. Relationship should be from both side. It doesn't work on single track lucky. Both are equally important in it.
Laksh: you talk like some love guru or baba. How many relationship you have shared. (teasingly).
Sanskar: Are you serious Lucky, a minute ago, you were talking as if you are most sad person in the world and now...?
Laksh: oh come on Bhai. I don't remain sad longer. I was but I got my answers from you. Now I know what will I do.
Sanskar: Thank god!! You did. I thought my lecture got wasted.
Laksh: hmm, but Bhai, one thing I really want to know why Ragini hate Swara?
Sanskar; hmm, even I could not understand it. And did u notice, shomi aunty also disliked Swara previously but now she love her. Don't you think its so much confusing?
Laksh: Right bhai. How come she suddenly started liking her and Ragini still hate her like two year before.
Laksh took pause then continued: hmm must be some hidden secret.( thinking keeping finger on chin)
Sanskar: Shut up Lucky!!
Laksh: Ok, why are you shouting?
Sanskar: Stop your tiny mind, its working too much nowadays.
Laksh: Whatever!!
Both keep silence for sometimes and then Laksh again speak.
Laksh: Bhai,
Sanskar: hmm.
Laksh: I think Swara didn't do anything.
Sanskar look at him.
Sanskar: Why do you think like that?
Laksh: I don't know but according to me she was not behind all that. Its someone else.
Sanskar: but what Kavita told...
Laksh: ( interupted) I m not saying that she was wrong but may be its some misunderstanding or something. Kavita never seen Swara doing all that.
Sanskar: Then who will do laksh? you only tell. What will anyone get by doing all that but Swara could have.
Laksh: And do you think it was so easy for her, harming Kavita, hiring goons that too for a girl who can't speak. Think logically Bhai.
Sanskar listen Laksh and think about his words for sometimes and then say; may be what are you saying is right still it doesn't prove that she was innocent. She could have justified herself but she didn't because she knew that she was wrong and for a minute if I assume that she didn't do anything, why didn't she told Shekhar uncle everything? She had agreed for calling off the marriage in front of me then what happened suddenly that she changed her mind? I gave her another chance also when I told you to talk to her and stop her from coming to mandap. You also talked to her na? but she still came. I thought that she was doing all that under anyone's pressure but did you saw anyone threatening her. You were observing her on marriage day then...?

Laksh nods because he also know that what Sanskar said is also having point. He also was confused about it. He had clearly stopped Swara to come to mandap but she did. Why she did that.?
Laksh: Okay, cool down.
Sanskar sighs and calm himself.
Laksh: hmm... Suppose, if Swara didn't do anything then?
Sanskar: what?
Laksh: I m not giving any explanation or proving myself. Just assume that she is innocent.
Sanskar: Okk.
Laksh: Then will you give her your wife's place? A place in your heart?
Sanskar remained silent for a while then says: It doesn't matter Lucky. I love Kavita and always will. I can't give that place to anyone. Anyways, It's quite late. I m going to sleep. You too go and sleep. Tomorrow is big day for you.
Laksh understand that he is avoiding the question. He also don't want to drag it because it may leads to any clash.
Laksh nods.
Sanskar: okk good night.
Saying this he left.
Laksh: Good night Bhai.
Laksh: (monologue) I know you can't give Kavita's place to anyone but what will happen if she will make her own place in your heart and in your life? I know you want to know, why I m sure about Swara but I cant tell you . I cant tell you that she loves you that's why I trust her that she didn't do anything. For her, happiness of loved ones is most important then how can she try to snatch happiness of the person she love the most but I cant tell you this because I know you my brother, that you will take it another direction only and my be misunderstand her love also. Other thing is she should be the one to confess her love by herself and about my answers I have to talk to Shekhar uncle and Shomi aunty. I don't know why but I think that they know something or everything.. ( sighs) But for now I have to sleep. Tomorrow I m getting married to my love. Love you Ragini.
Laksh also left to his room and go to sleep.
Mm;
Marriage was arranged in mm only. Preparations has done. Swara and Ragini were getting ready in one room. Laksh was almost ready. Sanskar was not ready till now. He was sitting in his room.
Sanskar room:
Sanskar made Arshit ready. After that He sat on sofa thinking something deeply.
Sanskar ( monologue): I never thought that I will marry again. I can never think about anyone else than Kavita. She was my everything. But now I m getting married to Swara whom I once accused for trying to kill Kavita. I don't know why Laksh is so supportive to her. He is so much confident that Swara is innocent. First maa, then Laksh. Both are sure of swara. Is it true? Is she really innocent? I don't know why but now I am also thinking that something is missing. She may be innocent because Laksh can never support wrong person. But even if she is innocent, she will just normal person to me. I can't give her right of a wife. She will be only the mother of Arshit but not my wife. I love Kavita and always will. I can never give your place to anyone Kavita. ( sees kavita pic on table)
He comes into sense listening Laksh voice.
Laksh barges in his room nd shout.
Laksh: Bhaii!!!!
Sanskar: What happened Laksh? Why are you screaming like mad person?
Laksh: you are asking what happened? And I m not mad. Why are you not ready till now?
Sanskar: chill Laksh, I was going to.
Laksh: When, After marriage??
Sanskar rolls his eyes. Then only Ap comes.
Ap: What happened? What are you both discussing? Is it time for your stupid discussion (scold)
Laksh: Maa, I didn't do anything. See, I m ready but Bhai is still not ready.
Ap: What is this sanskar? Why are you not ready till now?
Laksh: yeah, yeah, ask him.
Ap: Shut up Laksh. I m talking to him na?
Then DP also comes.
Dp: you are still not ready Sanskar? (rudely)
Sanskar: Papa, I was going to...
Dp (not looking at him): I hope this time you will not do like you did two years ago and abandoned Swara on mandap. (Anger can be felt in his voice)
Sanskar: No papa, I...
Dp( interupted): Ap, Pandit ji has come. He is calling you for something.
He then looked at Laksh and say: Laksh, it will be muhurat time soon. Get ready fast and come downstairs.
He left without giving any glance to sanskar.
Sanskar feels hurt. Ap caress his face and she also left telling him to get ready fast.
Laksh hugs Sanskar sideways and consoled him.
Laksh: Leave it Bhai, you also know dad na? He will be normal with you soon.
Sanskar (sad smile): I am living with that hope since two years Lucky. Dad will never forgive me.
Laksh: He will but he needs time. Time heals everything bhai. Everything will be fine, u just have to faith in urself. Ok not in urself atleast u can have faith on me. This is ur lucky promise, everything will be fine soon.
Sanskar ( smile): I m so lucky to have you LUCKY.
Laksh: I know, but for now get ready fast and I believe you. This time nothing will be wrong.
Sanskar nods with smile.
Laksh left the room. Sanskar also go to get ready. Ap has already taken Arshit with her.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.
