Ragini was sitting there only but she was busy in her phone. Swara was playing with Arshit smilingly. Sujata was as usual discussing about random things and gossiping. Ap was listening her with not so interested look. Then a servant came there and asked Ap about dinner.
Servant: Ma'am, what should be made for the dinner?
Ap tell him about menu. Ragini sees this and jumped in between.
Ragini: Mom, if you don't mind. Can I want to make dinner today?
Sujata who was having her tea started coughing. Ap was also shocked. Actually Ragini wanted to impress everyone after morning disaster which she created.
Sujata coughed and then composed herself and said.
Sujata: No, there's no need for you to do it. We don't want to die soon.
Ap (tried stop her): Sujata!!
Sujata: What jiji, I won't let her enter inside my kitchen.
Ap shakes her head unbelievably.
Swara was just watching all this.
Ap: Okk, ok I got it.
She makes Ragini understand.
Ap: Ragini beta, if you don't know cooking. it's ok, I will teach or you can take help from Swara. She cook well. After you know cooking, you also can cook for us.
Ragini: But Maa, This time I will do carefully.
Sujata: Didn't you hear what jiji said? firstly know how to cook then you can Cook.
Ragini nodded but she was annoyed.
Then only Laksh and Sanskar also came back from office. They went to their rooms and after freshing up then came downstairs nd sit with all.
Sanskar sat beside Swara as Laksh was sitting with Ragini and no other place were left. Sanskar sit there and to his surprise Arshit shift to his lap. Swasan smiled. Sanskar ruffled his hair.
Laksh (sitting): So, what's going on?
Sujata: Nothing much, your wife wanted to cook once again.
Laksh spitted water which he was drinking and coughed. Sanskar chuckles looking at him. Swara and everyone also smiled while Ragini get more annoyed.
Laksh: Seriously??
Ap nodded with smile. Laksh looked at Ragini and she glared at him.
Laksh: No, nothing, you can cook. In fact you will cook totally different.
Ragini: whatt??
Laksh: No, no... (Monologue) Laksh you should keep your mouth shut otherwise she will end of your life today.
After sometime, Everyone have dinner and went to their respective rooms.
Swara made Arshit sleep. Sanskar also slept after sometime. Swara was not getting sleep so she decided to go to terrace for fresh air. She made pillow wall at her side so that Arshit may not fall and went to terrace.
Swara was sitting and feeling cool breeze with closed eye. Then she heard someone's voice and opened her eyes. She turned to see Laksh, who was coming and blabbering something with himself.

Laksh (blabbering): Everyone say right. No one should not get married because after marrying our life get destroyed by the same person whom we consider our life. I was idiot, duffer, stupid, what was need to get married.
Then he sees Swara and stopped. Swara look at him confused. He sighed and went and sat beside her.
He look at Swara and knew what she wanted to ask.
Laksh: You want to know what I was saying?
Swara nodded yes.
Laksh (sighs): Your sister is big headache you know.
Swara Chuckled.
Laksh continued: You know what she did? She burst out on me because she don't know cooking. I mean seriously, what am I supposed to do with it. But she was saying "No Laksh, you are responsible for it (Mimics).".
Swara laughed.
Laksh: (looked at her) Laugh, laugh, You are girl na, that's why you don't understand the pain of a husband (dramatically).
Swara widen her eyes. Laksh laughs.
Swara signs something but thought that Laksh may not understand her so he left it.
Laksh sees her and say.
Laksh: you want to ask what I am thinking to do now, right?
Swara was shocked that he understood her.
Laksh (smiled): Don't worry, In this house everyone understand what you say except my idiot brother and your sister and.. chachi also.
Swara got sad hearing Sanskar's name. Laksh noticed her and said.
Laksh: Why don't youu tell him?
Swara looked at him confusingly.
Laksh: Looks I m not stupid. I can see how much you love bhai.
Swara got shocked knowing that he knows that.
Swara: Is it written on my face, how everyone understands it?
Laksh laughed and said: Don't worry, nothing is written on your face. If it was written then also bhai could not read that. You know he is a complete idiot.
Swara hit him with fake angry face.
Laksh: Ok , I m not saying him anything.
Swara smiled.
Laksh: But honestly say, why don't you tell him?
Swara: I will never tell him.
Laksh (shocked): but why?
Swara (sad smile): Why should I? So that he misunderstand my love also?
Laksh: Then why don't you tell the truth?
Swara (confused): which truth?
Laksh: That you didn't do anything.
Swara (confused): How are you sure about it?
Laksh: Oh come on Swara, a girl whose world start with other's happiness and end with other's happiness, can't do something like that to the person whom she love the most. You should tell the truth Swara.
Swara nods no. : It will destroy everything.
Laksh: What are you hiding Swara?
Swara knew this conversation is leading to some other direction so she changed the topic.
Swara: Leave that, you say how are you going to pacify Ragini?
Laksh (monologue): Both are same. Always change the topic. ( He shook his head)

Laksh: Well nothing much. Just, will gift her favourite dress and her anger will be gone.
Swara: But how many time you will do like this? Why do you give up so easily to her? She should also understand you na?
Laksh: Don't know but I love her.
Swara: Loving someone and doing everything according to someone are two different things Laksh. If you will do like this only then a time will come when you will not be able to handle it. Your relationship might be affected. So, you should try to stop her sometime.
Laksh: Hmm, you are saying right. I will think about it.
Swara showed him thumbs up. Laksh smiled.
Swara: Ok, Now I am going.
Laksh: Yes, you should go else devil will jump from bed.
Swara fakely glared at him for saying that about Arshit. Laksh chuckled. Swara smiled and left.
Laksh: oh god!! Both are equally stubborn. I thought to know by her but she... Huh, leave that. I will ask tomorrow from baba and maa only. Now I should also go to sleep and he left.
As Laksh thought he wanted to go to Gadodia house but he didn't get time. Office project was also very important
He couldn't leave that and both Sanskar and Laksh had to do work till late nights. It's been a week now. Finally project was finished.
In all this there was a good thing that Sanskar was not rude with Swara. He just behaved formly with her but more than that nothing.
After last meeting of project Laksh was determined to meet Shekhar.
Swara woke up and went to fresh n up . She got ready in beautiful blue saree. Sanskar also woke up and went to washroom. Swara sat beside Arshit and slowly woke him up. Till then Sanskar also came from washroom and Swara made Arshit ready. After that they went to have breakfast.
Downstairs;
Everyone was having breakfast and talking to each other. Then, AP said.
Ap: Swara, you wanted to go Gadodia house na?
Swara nodded with hesitation. Sanskar look at her as he didn't have any idea about it.
Ap: It's ok beta. You can go.
Swara: But maa, how? Arshit? ( She said pointing toward Arshit)
Ap: You don't worry. I will handle him. But I must say. Just in a week, Arshit became so much stubborn.
Laksh (murmurs): parents are stubborn so, obviously son will be like that only.
Sanskar: Did you say something?
Laksh: No, what will I say?
Sanskar: Hmm, and maa let her take Arshit with her. It Will be really tough for you to handle him. She can handle him perfectly.
Laksh was amused. Swara smiled and nodded.
Ap: Okk Sanskar, you drop her Gadodia house.
Sanskar: But maa...
Ap: No but, you can drop her then go to office.
Sanskar: Hmm okk.
After having breakfast, Sanskar and Swara left with Arshit. Sanskar drop her to Gadodia house and after taking blessing from Shekhar and Shomi, he left for his office.
Swara was so happy as she was with her maa and baba. She spent quality time with them. Shekhar also didn't go to office for today. Arshit was also increasing their happiness.
Laksh went to office and did his work fast as he had to go to Gadodia house to meet Shekhar and Shomi.
Laksh completed his work fastly and about to go but Sanskar saw him.
Sanskar: Laksh where are you rushing?
Laksh: No, I m not. (casually) Actually, my work is done. So, I was going to have a ride.
Sanskar: Hmm ok, Laksh please do one thing. Please recieve Swara and Arshit with you while going mm. I will be late.
Laksh (monologue): Good, I got my reason to go Gadodia house.
Laksh: Okk sure, why not.
Saying this he left. Sanskar also continued his work.
Gadodia house;
Swara was waiting for Laksh as he called and told that he will receive her and Arshit. She was sitting in living room when shomi came to her.
Shomi: Swara beta, you are happy na?
Swara looked at her then sees Arshit who was playing with a toy beside her and nodded yes.
Shomi: I know you are happy with Arshit but Sanskar?
Swara looked at her with sad face and then looked down.
Shomi: you should tell him beta. He will understand it and may he will also fall for you.
Swara sad smile: Loving someone is not that easy maa and Sanskar will never fall for me.
Shomi: So you will stay like this only for your whole life? Only as Arshit's mother not as Sanskar's wife?
Swara: We shouldn't expect anything which we can't get. If we do it then it only breaks our heart. I have already experienced it once and I don't want the same happen again.
Shomi (little angry): So you will punish yourself for other's mistake? For what Kavita has done? She did all that and you were accused. Everything was her plan. She played that dirty game and Sanskar thinks her as pure soul and you as a criminal. She was self obsessed and I don't think she ever loved Sanskar. She...
She was saying when Swara stopped her.
Laksh: What did Kavita do? ( They heard)
Laksh had reached there and heard their conversation. He was listening everything but Swara noticed him and stopped Shomi. Laksh got that Swara seen him and stopped Shomi so he came there and asked her.
Laksh (repeated): I asked what she did? (little loudly)

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

Shadow
Shadow is set in two separate time periods: the year 2027, mere days before the end of the world, and the year 2030.

Only a fool chases his own Shadow. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
