Long , long back I don’t remember when I remember him , yes a well groomed cute fellow I happened to admire , I wish I had his photho to show you how he looked but all I have is memories and memories , disjoined dotted memories .

It was a one sided love story so not really a love story but I will tell it  , because I chose to remember him ….he now who may not even exist ……

 

Journey back in time ….

 

It was in the lovely good old twentieth century , when a planet called earth existed ,

All young and beautiful that still no other planet in the universe is as beautiful as mother earth , yes ……Near the blue wide ocean came a man along with his pet young robot ,

Jam , yes I remember Jam , the robot was a jam specialist so what do you expect his name to be ? . He took my luggage without saying a word , and I followed him to the robot factory , it was the time of building robots and we worked on it secretly , money was no motivation but creation was and it was a world that sucked you in and you would be in it for ever .The man was so perfect in built , in temperament that it was comfortable for any new comer to be with him ….

 

We walked for miles as sceneries changed , in our special boots with which we can walk endlessly just if we had the will , it were boots having zoom power but a light feel and thou we walked , it is said we never did the circuits in the shoe boot recognize the direction we want to go analying our reflexes   and in the fastest imaginable precision of time and took us walking in the direction we wanted  ….It was the sound of the waves , the whistle of the man , the transmission sound of the robot that meditated my mind into calmness .

It was with fear I walked , for I was really a young women , science was my life , but I had been a normal person in those earth lifestyles , it was fate that brought me here I  like a picnic traveled aboard a place , train then ship with few of my friends who got away for their respective job locations , my last friend happened to be my best friend , we parted smiling , her specialization happened to be astronomical science and I do hope we would meet again returning for holiday breaks

into our normal zones where we were we before we got sucked into this ah strange professional reaserch zone .

 

Jam stopped and I realized the man guide disappeared where I do not know ….

“ah…. Password , password I forgot , Jam dear give me the password for the robot factory “ . I saw it was full moon , its got to be a delusion …illusion something , but why was I not afraid . I looked at Jam , it was shaking its body ,

“dear Harris I don’t think anyone has fed me that information “

Harris who was ducked down was silent and  then he looked at me , “madum , Hellen the factory is somewhere over here , don’t worry I was in a hurry so I forgot the password , yes you understand English language don’t you do Hellen”

I blinked I was stuck away from my world , with a stranger man and robot , in a environment that resembled some…some like the places described in those dark , dark stories ….

 

Harris sat down his robot did the same , it was against a tree , and I sat down for it was better to be in any company if this happened to be a nightmare .

 

He drew a circle with a stick on the ground …..”They say weird excentric people are brought here to live their lives in a useful way  ….I have been here for 6 months and am not happy , I am beginning to forget my home ….” Harris seemed to talk to himself ,  “the circle of life ….” I was looking at him with innocent compassion which did not touch him and when he turned to my side I looked away …..

”Jam talk to madum Hellen , give her company , I would concentrate on retriving the password “ Jam tried to smile showing flickering light , it was funny in normal circumstances but I turned to Harris .

“Harris “ I called addressing him for the first time ….”he turned in that caml emotion of him ,”you mean I am stuck ? …..Look I have come with a lot of expectations , hopes and dreams because I am freash from the other world I mean from my life which was in someother zone of this world , this is depressing for me ….” I turned around all darkness outside , I stepped back yes kind of creppy .

 

Harris took out a book from his pocket “ read this , book of light and your douths will go away “ He tossed it towards me and I caught it don’t know how,don’t know why  .

I looked at him again , “you look upset fellow I know you usually never are somehow , and you say people here are eccentric dangerous people ?”.

Harris smiled , “ emotions are the feelings of the soul , the rythem for the voice of the heart ….I am fine , well its in the genes in the normal world madum the genious is put to waste and here the geneous sets to work and achieve great things , that’s why we are here , but you will go back madum for nothing will bind you here , you will ….”

Harris whistled when he kept quite ….

 

I turned away and opened the book of light , it was the work of wisdom which melts and overwhels the brain , the soul for they strike you ….yes they do ….It had the touches of peace and a promise of life which soothes the lonely soul .

The lines lelt like the tune of the guidar , piano , I mean those notes of sounds , you want to listen and understand ….then it goes but you want to understand you crave for it …

This book of light also happens to be the book of life .I felt Harris look at me many times ,and finally I closed it looking so stern ….

“Harris , just pass thou the field , the field will recognize the password from from brain waves “ I smiled ,”you forgot the thought you know why ?” I pinched his cheeks for the first time “ you don’t want ….” Harris stoped “never mind , which part of earth are you from , I think you’re a psychologist too , so it would be helpful to understand the robots we build   , you know JAM he lets you be you . “

I looked at Jam , “come Jam always be with me “ , for which the little robot came  to my hands Jam was soft and sweet and also had emotions I knew but emotions are unimportant as long as life has a purpose  .

 

Digging thou the field was a technical job and involved coding communication with the super computer ….It reduced the intensity of the field as we sank deep into the sand ,

“chemical changes my lady “ Harris smiled , “think it like chocolate , people here love the gentle female gender , it’s a treat even for these computers you know .”

I ignored his comments , “they will make you comfortable and ensure full satety ,

Its very charming , like ….he shrugged . Well think that your sinking in your favorite chocolate whats your favorite chocolate “ I caught Harris , “ I don’t like this Harris ,

I am thinking of blood sucking draculas , especially since this can’t be real “

Harris was silent , “ok think of JAM , its pink and red in colour “

I looked at Harris’s pocket and laughed “ he is in your pocket Harris! , cool then he is readjustable “

“ah , yeah kind of you can adjust his font and style , a word document expert designed some features of JAM you see “Harris replied coolly in his unintended humor style not concretely visible .

 

We were sinking through , “ your not a robot na , Harris “

He shook his head , “if you must know , I am the most likable man in the world that’s why I am here “ he smiled ….”I am no eccentric , it’s a curse you know , everyone will fall in love with me , I gentlely break their hearts ….” He had some water in his eyes ,

“yours unbreakable , your like me Helen ‘ . I smiled for this , I knew he was right ….

I held his hands because I liked it and closed my eyes while I sunk in inside earth underground “ Helen , when you have to leave for one day you may wish use my finger print in the book of light ,my gift I have lots with me , I get it from a lady crazy after me

But you can never come in back onece your left so please leave only after accomplishing something otherwise…”he gulped “you will be torn to pieces by guilt …..”

I could not look at him , but it felt nice being with him “the sand your going into has such a drug ok , it instills a urge to achieve something .”
