Early Morning 7 am...
"Uff! another day of this loneliness..." By the way I'm Manasa, a richest widow. Yeah, you heard me right I'm a widow. My husband passed away just few months ago.
I was married to an old man who was in his middle 50s due to my uncle and aunt's selfishness. But my late husband was not like others who wanted to venge their desires on such a young pure girl. He was totally a sweet and supportive person.
But there's a saying that "God is selfish for not leaving good people on this earth for many days..." He took away that sweet man from my life to him and made me a widow in my 20s itself.
Though he had left me in middle, he didn't make my life worse. He left his everything with me thanking me for being with him in his last days were his own children abandoned him for his old-age.
PHONE RINGS 📳📳
I came out of my thoughts and sighed for my alone self. I got up from my king size bed and went near the bedside table. Picking the call I heard a voice which is very familiar to me from my childhood. That's my best friend, Varun Kumar a scientist.
Varun : "Hey! Good morning. How is the day?"
Manasa : "You don't know... As usual lonely."
Varun : "Come on, cheer up girl"
I let out a small sad chuckle remembering my miserable life.
Manasa : "So, what's the matter? You called me so early."
Varun : "Oh yeah! I have to tell you something!!"
I could guess that he was really excited to tell me about this 'something'. I just hummed in response while making the sheets clear.
Varun : "I told you, right? that I was working on a project about making mechine who could do the works like people"
Manasa : "You mean robots?"
Varun : "Not exactly but similar. But these ones are special"
Manasa : "Special? How?"
Varun : "They Are special. They are sculpted just like humans."
Manasa : "More details please."
Varun : "They are like humans. They can speak, they can help, they can feel too just... just like humans."
Manasa : "Hmm... So you're technically telling me that they are like robot yet human partners."
Varun : "Exactly! And they are made for people who are suffering from depression and loneliness. So that someone who will be with them to listen."
Manasa : "Alright... but why are you saying me all this."
There was a moment of silence. Few seconds later a long breathe taking sound was heard. I understood what he was about to say.
Varun : "Look Manasa, I'm your best friend. So take this as my suggestion. It's---"
Manasa : "No Varun, I'm not sure about it."
Varun : "Think once about it. You still have so many days in your life. You also have the right to enjoy, Manasa. So please.."
Manasa : "I'm sorry!" I end the call.
Now I'm standing in front this... what should I call this. A Human? OR A Robot? OR A HumanRobot? What should I call? Better let me name it so that it won't be confusing me later.
"Samarth! Yes, that would be a good name for you. What do you say?" This was just staring at me the whole time it arrived and I on it.
Samarth : "Your comand is my wish Master!"
Woah, it speaks just like humans. I thought it would like a normal robo. Anyways folding my hands just below my chest leaning to the dining chair I asked...
Manasa : "So what and all work will you do?"
Samarth : "Cooking, washing dishes, brooming, swiping the floor, watering plants..." And his list went on.
Manasa : "Stop! I got to know what works you do."
Days passed away with me being with him. At first it was little difficult for adjusting to this but later on I started to enjoy his company with me. His cooking, his work, his talks, him listening to me, tolerating my tantrums, consoling me while I'm being sad or crying... just like humans. I liked everything about him.
Varun was right. They are just like humans. But should I be thankful to him for giving me such a good company in my lonely life in this big mansion or CURSE him for making me have a mixed thoughts in my stupid brain about having feelings for this machine.
Yes! I started having feelings for Samarth, my robot. Is it possible? If you ask me, I would say Yes.. because I'm experiencing it. One one moment of being with him making me fall for him. The way he cherish, the way he console, the way he do everything for me makes me fall deeper for him.
One day, I was standing in my balcony with a cup of tea which my was sweetly made by Samarth having thoughts of him running around my mind. Suddenly I felt like someone was standing behind me.
I turned to look and it was him.. Samarth, standing just few centimetres away from me.
Manasa : "That's too close, Mr. Samarth."
Teasing him with a naughty smile on my face. But his eyes were looking somewhere... somewhere on my face... my face on my lips... His eyes were staring my lips.
Samarth : "I can't wait anymore..."
Just finishing this line, he captured my lips with his smooth thin lips drowning in the deep sweet hot kiss. My eyes were wide, heart beating fast, breathing halts, cup slips down my hand, legs getting jelly. This made me impatient and soon I brought my one hand to lock his hair in my fist and other around his neck bringing him still more close to me.
After a hot long deep kiss, we drew our heads back normalising our breath. I had my face burning inside and a crimson reddish cheek outside. But this same thing goes with him too.
'Will Robots too Blush?'
Samarth chuckled a small one bringing his head up catching my eyes which were staring at his today's different behaviour. He brought his one hand up saying...
"Hai! I'm Amar... actually I'm a human being."
Something like thunderbolt hit me hearing to this. He is a human being ? WTF! And these many days I was leaving with a real human. But why was I being lied ?
A heavy anger was passing through my eyes. Understanding my situation he started explaining me what had really happened.
Amar Vardhan, a famous family among the top ones. Having luxury house, car, accessories, lifestyle, everything... he had life of everyone wishing. But this person fell in love with a lower middle class girl like me.
Amar was the son of my father's boss. My father was working as a driver for him. I have never seen him. But he got many opportunities to see me because his father who was a kind person made me to study in a popular college where his son is also studying.
But after the death of my parents due an accident, my uncle and aunt were the once to look after me. When Amar was ready to tell his feelings, the fate had already played it's game. And he realised that it was too late and I was already married to a old man.
Later with the help of my best friend, Varun he got to know me and my situation. He took his help and reached me out disguise him as a Robot.
That's what he said and rest was all known by me.
It's been two days and I'm still not able to digest these things. But one thing was sure that we both have fallen for eachother deeply.
Amar sat beside me and held my hands. Our eyes met.
Manasa : "You'll not leave me, right?"
A sweet smile crept on his face. It just showed assurance of me just to depend on him. Hugging him tightly I let out those 3 words which were on edge of my tongue from many days.
Manasa : "I Love You, Amar!"
Amar : "Robot at your service Ma'am~~~"
Manasa : "😊"
HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THIS STORY.
LOTS OF LOVE 💕!!!
