Not chess, not Go, but a childish game named “Snake and Ladder.”

"Are you sure you're not cheating?" Yhlei asked, sulky, that he had to go down the ladder because a snake bit him. Not literally, though.

"Dad, how can I cheat the dice?" Slyvester answered. He threw the dice, and it gave him one. Just right to get one hundred.

"See?! You cheated!" Yhlei messed up the snake and ladder board. She then leaned back in the chair with a frown.

Are we going to have a party later?”] Kyle stared at the text he received from Ryan’s best friend. “I am not sure, so I don’t know how to answer this,” Kyle murmured, recalling the events last night. Ryan and Terban came home together. They weren’t saying anything and only went straight to their room. Meanwhile, Slyvester did not come home. “Obviously, there was a problem last night,” Kyle uttered. Kyle texted Slyvester instead of replying to Emily, wanting to know the truth. [“Slyvester, why didn’t you come home last night?”] A few minutes passed, but Kyle received no reply. So, he texted him again. [“Didn’t we plan about the farewell party for Ryan tonight? Aren’t you going?”] Later on, Slyvester replied. [“I am going later.”] Kyle realised from Slyvester's response that he didn't want to explain everything to him.

    Yhlei looked outside the car window and recalled what happened last night.Last night, Slyvester came home drunk. His face was red, and he could not look straight. The drunken man, who almost stumbled, greeted his mother with a smile.“Hello, Mom. Where’s Dad?” Right at that time, his dad walked down the stairway. Far away, he could already smell the pungent smell of the alcohol. "You're drunk? You came home late at night and drunk?" Yhlei's face was full of disappointment. The first thing that came to his mind was his son's reputation. Slyvester can be the new successor of Ixumi Corporation. But he walked down the road swaying and unstable? What if he did some embarrassing things on the way home?"Dad," Slyvester called him. Suddenly, Slyvester knelt in front of his father.

    “I declare you husband and wife!” The officiant pronounced Slyvester and Ryan as husband and wife, prompting a round of enthusiastic applause from the wedding guests. However, Slyvester's gaze remained fixed on his stunning bride, oblivious to the commotion. At that moment, Slyvester desired a lifetime of happiness with Ryan and possibly starting a family with her. While it is often said that men shed tears of joy during such occasions, Slyvester was too overjoyed to cry. Perhaps Ryan's parents cried enough for both of them, especially since Slyvester had once posed as a woman to deceive them. Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Mcguffin had forgiven him and moved on from the past. "So, we're a married couple now," Ryan said excitedly. “Hmmm, we are,” Slyvester mumbled. He cupped her cheeks and leaned his forehead on hers. "Kiss her! Kiss her!” The wedding guests scream. This won't be their first kiss.

Ryan didn't have the guts to try it, so she stuck writing innocent comedy and romance genres. However, she wasn't lucky enough to get her break. Sitting in front of the laptop, Ryan read one of the comments from her book."The author narrates well, but the plot is too cliche. Then the event is not realistic either."Ryan felt sad while reading the comments. She took a deep breath and leaned her back against the office chair. She wiped her eyes under her rounded glasses. She looked again at the comments, where only a few had positive feedback."Maybe writing is not my line," said the woman who had just passed the boarding exam.Even though she took an engineering course in college, she didn't want to let go of her dream of becoming a writer and be
