Flung out of space

The first embrace

### FLASHBACK continued ###

Hasee: Hamari liye
Aap bohot khaas hai,
Isi liye Aap 'Aap' hai...!

Me: Kya yeh shayari tha?

Hasee: Nehi, baas aise hi. Kaha na aapko dekhtehi baatein karne ka maan karta hai.

Me: coffee thanda ho raha hai.

Hasee: Oh yeah. Please have it. Hum cookies laate hai.

Then she shouted, "Bob, bring the cookie jar from the kitchen"
.
Then I thought, Bob would be a little boy but then I was so shocked to see this 7 feet tall Robot with a cookie jar.

Hasee: Bob, this is Karishma. Please take a photo of her. She's my friend & she's safe. Whenever she comes, please open the door for her.

Bob: Hello Karishma Malik..!

[Writer: Great job, Bob! You had understood what these two jerks are still unable to understand

Aapke maan mein to laddu futt rahe honge!

KS: Just shut up! Uss waqt hum thori na wo saab samajhte the. Tab kuch mehsoos nehi hua

Writer: Still you're blushing ! ]

Hasee: She's not Karishma Malik, she's Karishma Singh.

Bob: How is her name Karishma Singh not 'Karishma Malik'? You're Haseena Malik, in this photo the person your sister is named Heena Malik, this cat is Miku Malik. Isn't everyone named 'Malik'?

Hasee just whispered, "Karu, I'm sorry. Bob's a bit messy. His intelligence level is very low, I'll tell you later, the reason behind it."

Then she implied, "Bob, not everyone is named as Malik, understood? Like your name is 'Bob the robo'... Now go upstairs.

I was totally speechless. When Bob went out from her living space then I talked.

"Yeh kya tha, Bhai. Sach kahoo to hume thoda darr laga. Kya yeh saare instructions follow kar sakte hai? Aur aapko gussa nehi aata ispe? Topa robot!"

Hasee: Bob can only do a few household works, like dish washing, boiling water in the electric jug, door opening & closing, giving food to Miku, room cleaning but not in a very fine way & only on my voice commands. He cannot do anything on his own. It's for safety purposes. Aap to jante hai ajkal AI safe nehi hai, it can be used against mankind that's why I had set his intelligence to a below average level. Hum to akele rehte hai iss ghar mein aur itna time nehi hota maintenance ka, that's why I made him 2 years back, he's a safe helping hand.

Me: I don't know how you adjust with this topa robot but humare ghar mein agar koi robot hota to hume darr se nind nehi aati.

Hasee: Hamare ghar mein agar koi insan hota, toh hume nind nehi aati.

Me: Aisa kyun?

Hasee: It's been 4 years I'm living alone. Ghar mein, matlab Ammi Abbu ki ghar jo Lucknow mein hai waha hamare rishtedar rehte hai & sometimes I visit their house, sometime they call to take care of me but it's the first time in 4 years that I had allowed someone to visit my house other than any official meeting.

Me: Isn't it a bit weird? Have you ever felt alone.

Hasee: Never. After my sister's death I had learnt to live alone. Once I used to be a very playful, happy kid but time had changed everything. My sister never let me miss my parents, by the way she took care of me in every step. But I felt so devastated after she left. From then I thought I would never let anyone come this closer to my heart & take a part of me when they leave.
