"Actually...I am a human " , Victor said breathing heavily to Nora
"You...are what ? " Nora a young girl in her twenties sat with eyes widened in shock and voice quivering asked to the man who was bleeding heavily and taking his last breaths laying his head on her lap .
" I never...intended lying to...you...I...just wanted to protect you..." Victor said while caressing Nora's cheeks which was wet with her tears rolling down from her beautiful crystal blue eyes.
"Why ???" To this Victor just smiled and replied , " I loved you Nora "
.
.
A year back
.
.
"WHY DID YOU CHEAT NOAH WHY I LOVED YOU SO MUCH AND YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH MY OWN BEST FRIEND !!!!! " Nora cried out her heart to her boyfriend Noah....ex boyfriend and her best....ex bestfriend Vivian .
How will someone who loved a man for 7 years feel on finding that he betrayed her and that too with her childhood bestfriend with whom she literally grew up from birth .
How unfortunately the man she loved who was her life her boyfriend a minute ago became her ex
How unfortunately the girl she trusted with all her secrets her bestie came her ex bestfriend
Dragging herself with all the remaining self of her gathered, Nora went towards her home...A home which wasn't sweet at all...
Nora's parents always used to fight . They had to marry each other forcefully and be tied in a loveless marriage because of their one night mistake whose result was Nora .
Nora didn't have the energy to tolerate their daily arguements now anymore she just wanted to get a peaceful sleep but perhaps that wasn't in her fate .
The nineteen years old girl who yearned for her parents warmth love and comfort didn't recieve it ever till date so she slowly let go of her expectations too .
"*sighs * I should have taken a lesson from my life with my parents that...I...I don't deserve love...no one will ever love me....a...*hic*...a girl...who didn't even...*hic* get loved by her parents...*hic* how can she be so lucky...to..." Nora couldn't complete her sentence as she choked on her tears.
That night she kept crying making her pillows wet and slowly drifted to sleep .
/The next morning \
Nora realised that her parents had gone out on seeing a sticky note on the fridge .
"*sighs * Let's then get ready for a new morning hopefully everything will be fine from now on " Nora says with a mind made up to move on and be happy.
But fate was too cruel for her .
.
.
It was raining heavily. Many were crying some were offering condolences some geniunely prayed for the departed souls to rest in peace while some only gossiped .
But no one actually thought about the teenaged girl standing in the heavy rain in front of her parents graves .
It was not even a week when she just started to recover when she got the news that her parents were dead in a car accident .
Nora didn't know what to feel . She honestly never received love from them so perhaps her love for them faded too . But at least with them however worse their relationship was she wasn't alone in this world but now she had no one of her own .
"Hold this " Nora becomes startled on hearing a man's dominating voice suddenly and she unconsciously holds the umbrella presented to her by that stranger . He was a tall man but was wearing a mask so she couldn't see his face .
"The world never stops for anyone so you don't stop too and remember always you are not alone "
'But who are you ?' Thought Nora on the words of the stranger looking at his disappearing figure .
.
.
Nora was talking to herself when " From that day a month has passed *chuckles softly * I honestly don't feel alone now because ... " the door bell rang .
"It must be him again!!!" Nora exclaims happily running to open the door and sighs of relief when she saw , " I knew it again an unknown person is sending me these favourite flowers of mine *smells them* hmmm its lovely...but how did he know about my favorite??? *thinking hard * I am sure it must be that same stranger but who was he....anyways let's read today's note and see what has he written today"
This entire one month Nora kept receiving flower bouquet from some unknown with sweet notes written which always made her smiled .She never hesitated to take in the flowers because now she had no fear no fear of losing anyone it was all her and only her by herself to live .
But today's note was little different from the rest .
'I will not send anymore flowers from tommorow onwards '
This single sentence made Nora gloomy .
"So you are also...huh...WHAT A ROBOT !!!!???? "
On reading the note completely Nora realised that 'that ' unknown man has gifted her a humanoid robot which will do all her works from cleaning to cooking and even be like her friend chatting to watching movies and all that a perfect butler can do plus with the benefits of a friend for her to spend time and not feel any more alone .
"So I guess he doesn't need any maintenance does he and it's all for free ? " Nora was involved in her thoughts when she heared the bell ring and the courier man shouting "PARCELLLLL!!!!"
.
.
PRESENT TIME
"That was the first time....I saw...you...you were so handsome...I only...didn't doubt on you of being a human before because of your robotic...voice and attitude...voice change and lots of practice huh ? "
Victor nodded slowly closing his eyes .
Nora pats his cheeks " Hey don't...don't...close your eyes....please please I need you... see we are already in...the hospital...you would recover really quick...Victor...please...atleast you don't leave me....I should have listened to you...I shouldn't have gone for this trip...everything was fine till this car accident....I am a jinx for everyone....I don't deserve to be happy" Nora says crying loudly.
Everyone their felt bad looking at the young girl crying out loud clutching her sleek fingers on the man's hand who was lying on the stretcher in front of the operation theater badly injured
"You deserve the...whole universe...my....love... I love you" those were the last words she heared from him before he went in for his treatment.
Nora broke down completely.....but when she remembered his words with lots of struggling she pulled herself together wiped off her tears harshly , " You have to live for me Victor you have to come back alive " eyes with love and determination Nora spoke out and waited patiently for him to return.
.
.
After six years
"So he was the stranger in the funeral....he was the unknown sending flowers to you Mumma ? Dad was the one ? " the five year old Edward asked his mother while pulling his dad's hair .
" Ouch it hurts you b#at! " exclaimed Victor .
"Mummmaaa " whined Edward
"Victor don't say like that but son why did you do that it hurts him right ? " asked Nora sternly .
" But a robot doesn't get hurt 😝" says Edward jumping off her lap and runs out .
"This boys *sighs* He is just like you😤 " Nora said
"Wifffeyyyyy😫😫😫 " Hearing her husband whine Nora chuckles and said , " Whines the one who is known to be the world's coldest CEO huh ? " Victor backhugs her , " The day I saw you crying in the streets for being betrayed by your boyfriend I had decided to protect you feeling an unknown connection with you which progressively became love for you....I love you my universe❤"
I love you too my Robot masked Human Hubby 😘"
