After passing many ages, it was during the Robotic age, where the Humans lifetime was increased because of artificial organs. The siblings Mindy and Jack were the children of Mr. and Mrs. Hosan. The Hosan couple was in their 80s but they seem to be so younger in spite of their ages. They often spent their time in their own lab researching about the Multiverse concepts and Alien traces. Time travelling during this age was very common for the scientists. They used this technology often for becoming aware of their unknowns. Sometimes it is used to correct the mistakes they have made but with certain regulations.
Yeo, a domestic robot was taking care of the Hosan’s house and their children. Though it does all the household works and was designed to be a best companion for the siblings, it lacks the love and affection. In this age, even the humans have forgotten about the emotion of love then how can a robot provide such feelings, after-all it was just a machine. Mindy was 40 years old and now she attained the eligibility of age criteria to attend the HEAVEN MIDDLE SCHOOL, one of the prestigious institutions located at the space. But the submission of a research paper was must for the students wishing to enter this institution. Mindy’s research was about the previous century men – How they lived without the advanced technologies and also about their lifestyle, obviously about the Pre-Robotics period. She had almost collected all the sources for her research but the missing part was the statement on life of the people lived during the 21st century, which she thought will provide her with extra credits.
Mindy thought of seeking help from her scientist parents, who were certified to use the time travel device. Suddenly she remembered that once her father had brought her grandmother’s belongings from the past. She decided to look into it. She rushed to the door of her home library and opened it by scanning her hand. The library has no printed book but with chips consist of tons of information. These chips were inserted into the humans to know about particular books or topics in a millisecond of time instead of reading. Thus, the advanced technology was at its peak. Now, she needs to find a brown rectangular box.
Mindy searched every nook and corner of the library but she can’t find the box. She was frustrated and sat in her father’s table. There she found sky, an old fluid pen of her Grandma Max. Max was 150 years old at present but she died at the age of 91 and her body was stored in the Human Preservation Bank (HPB). HPB is the place where humans are preserved after their death and the scientists are working on for their resurrection. Mindy decided to place the pen in her father’s personal chamber. She knows his chamber’s password because out of love, once it was said by Mr. Hosan to her. It was an unforgettable moment for her, that’s when she received the rare love from her busy father. Mindy shouted –
“Incredible…… is this real? Unbelievable!”
Guess what happened? Yes of course, Mindy found the brown box containing Max’s belongings inside his chamber. She opened it hopefully and also found the handwritten personal diaries of her grandma inside. She was amazed and relieved by seeing those ordinary diaries. Extremely relaxed Mindy, set the library in the non-gravitational mode and began to read one of the diaries by floating.
She was surprised to know that her grandma was born during the period when the sun was brighter and the soil, trees, birds, animals were abundantly present. But Mindy has seen them only in the laboratory in the preserved state. She also heard a news that artificial land with these creatures were under the progression for public view. In the diary, it was said that her grandma was extremely happy and also hit the bottom of sadness, it was coded as “My pleasures and sins”. Mindy was struck for a moment because she can’t remember if she has used these emotions in her life. Their busy lifestyle into the technologies made them to lack the nature of being a human. Then, she remembered the incident when Jack was severely injured because of his experiment that gone astray. It was the first time when the process of lacrimation happened to her.
Some of the joyful moments of Max’s life was visiting her favourite falls with family, eating mangoes that are served by her aunt during summer and also watching movies with her college buddies. She was also broken down by the pandemic period, in which she lost her brother. The third and fourth world wars also took place during her lifetime. Mindy noticed the sadness in her words saying the death of Max’s dad and the days when the sky pen was missing.
Mindy gathered many information from the personal notebook. While reading, she was interrupted by the sky because of no gravity. She holds it and found something strange. Though Mindy was in advanced ages, she was aware of the old devices because of her research. She found that the pen was not just an ordinary one, it was the super old version of microphonic voice recorder pen. She was shocked and also curious at the same time to recover the messages from the pen. After more completion of versions, she was able to recover it successfully. She started to play the recordings but it was little breaking,
“trr… trr… Max-------Max, it’s dad speaking…, dad loves you…, Take care of mom and little sister…, once I returned from space, we’ll visit your favourite theme park and have ice-creams.”
Tears rolled down from her eyes, she realized that it was the last message of her great-grandpa to his daughter before he died in the space shuttle blast. She was doubtful whether her grandma was aware of this message, because there were no traces of her saying about the message in her diary. She also searched other diaries about this but was disappointed.
Mindy decided to keep the sky pen safe, hoping for the returning day of her grandma Max from the HPB. She attached the personal book with her research, but was very much hesitated to reveal it in public. Her thoughts were not stable. It might be a positive way to expose the past to others knowledge but it was Max’s personal life – revealing or opposing, that wholly depends on Max’s decision. So, she decided not to submit the research papers.
Mindy has not only changed her decision and middle school, she also changed her ambition of becoming a robotic technician to scientist, learning about cryonics and accompanying for its further development. Mindy was unaware that this emotion of urging to wish for helping Max to recover was called “LOVE”. But she took the best decision. It may be any age, machinery or robotics or whatever, but human beings feeling of love and sentiment never changes. It is always inside their heart but in deep. It just needs a right person to dig in those unshown feelings.
